VOLUME 18 • ISSUE 27
lature on “the path of crimi-
nalizing everyone in Montana.”
-- Why Unions Are Unpop-
ular: The police officers’ union
in Scranton, Pa., filed a state
unfair labor practice complaint
in April against Chief Dan Duffy
because he arrested a man
whom he caught violating a
warrant and possessing marijua-
na. According to the union con-
tract, only union members can
“apprehend and arrest” law-
breakers, and since the chief is
“management,” he should have
called an officer to make the
arrest. The union president sug-
gested that, with layoffs threat-
ened, the chief doesn’t need to
be taking work away from offi-
cers.
-- Conventional academic
wisdom is that the death penalty
is not an effective deterrent to
homicide, but according to ac-
cused murderer Dmitry Smirnov,
it deterred him from killing Ms.
Jitka Vesel in Oak Brook, Ill. —
until March, that is, when Illi-
nois’ death penalty was repealed.
Prosecutors said Smirnov, from
Surrey, British Columbia, told
them he decided to come to
Illinois and kill Vesel (in cold
blood, over an online relation-
ship gone bad) only after learn-
ing through Internet research
that the state no longer had
capital punishment.
CAVALCADE OF REDNECKS
(1) Shelly Waddell, 36, was
cited by police in February in
Waterville, Maine, after “a cou-
ple of ” drivers reported seeing
two children riding on the roof
of the van she was driving early
one morning. Waddell told po-
lice she was in fact delivering
newspapers to customers, but
denied that the kids were on the
roof. (2) At the Niceville, Fla.,
Christmas parade on Dec. 4, a
municipal employee was arrested
when he stepped up onto a city
truck that was part of the parade
and challenged the driver (who
apparently was a colleague). The
employee accused the driver of
“taking (my) overtime” hours for
the previous two years and or-
dered him out of the truck so he
could “whip your ass.” (The
employee was charged with
disorderly intoxication.)
OOPS!
-- Arifinito (he goes by one
name), a member of the In-
donesian parliament, resigned in
April after a news photographer
in the gallery zoomed in on the
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 2011
tablet computer he was watching
to capture him surfing Internet
pornography sites. Arifinito’s
conservative Islamic Prosperous
Justice Party campaigned for a
tough anti-pornography bill in
2008 (which the photographer’s
video shows Arifinito likely
violating).
-- Wheeee! (1) In March, in
Pierce County, Wash., a sewer
worker, 37, came loose from a
safety line and slid about 3,000
feet through a 6-foot-diameter
sewer pipe at the Chambers
Creek Wastewater Treatment
Plant. He “could have drowned,”
according to one rescuer, but he
was taken to a hospital with
“minor injuries.” (2) Firefighters
in Gilbert, Ariz., rescued Eugene
Gimzelberg, 32, in March after
he had climbed down a 40-foot
sewer hole — naked. Gimzel-
berg said he had smoked PCP
and marijuana and consumed
hallucinogenic mushrooms. He
was hospitalized in critical con-
dition.
CHUTZPAH!
-- Overreaching: (1) In April,
Texas state Rep. John Davis of
Houston proposed a tax break —
aimed at buyers of yachts valued
at more than a quarter-million
dollars. Davis promised more
yacht sales and, through a ripple
effect, more jobs if Texas capped
the sales tax on yachts at the
amount due on a $250,000 ves-
sel — a break of almost $16,000
on a $500,000 boat. (2) Adam
Yarbrough, 22, ticketed by a
female police officer in Indi-
anapolis in March after he was
observed swerving in and out of
traffic on an interstate highway,
allegedly compounded the prob-
lem first by offering the cop
“five dollars” to “get rid of this
ticket” and then by “(H)ow
about I give you a kiss?” Felony
bribery charges were filed. (Bo-
nus fact: Yarbrough was riding a
moped.)

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 2011
By Alan K. Stout
Weekender Music Columnist
Hostile Authority celebrates ’80s rock.
Hostile Authority
kickstarts your heart
T
he members of Hostile
Authority remember the
big ’80s all too well.
They remember the fun, the
energy and the swagger of the
hard-rock music of the time.
They remember the musician-
ship and the charisma of the
performers, and they remember
the good times they had as
teens while immersing them-
selves in it all.
And now — with their own
band — they recreate and cele-
brate what was, for many, a
magical time for music.
“The good old days with the
long hair and the tight jeans —
that’s what we’re all about,”
says drummer Matt Cortazar.
“Unfortunately, none of us have
the long hair anymore, but it
was the best time to play mu-
sic, when everybody could go
to these big concerts and just
let loose and have a good time.
The music was perfect.”
Hostile Authority, based out
of Scranton, was formed in
2009 and settled on its current
lineup in 2010. Billed as the
“Premier ’80s Arena-Rock
Band,” it also features Ken
Taddonio on guitar, John Cog-
netti on bass and Jeff Young on
vocals. Artists covered at the
bands shows include Motley
Crue, Ratt, Poison, Accept,
PAGE 16
Kiss, Dokken, Warrant, Twisted
Sister and Van Halen.
“I don’t want to bash any
artists from today, but for us,
that was rock back then,” says
Cortazar. “That’s what we enjoy
playing.”
It would appear the band
isn’t alone in its thinking.
Though there was some back-
lash to ’80s hard rock during
the early ’90s grunge move-
ment, these sentiments seemed
to fade long ago. Today, shows
like “That Metal Show” on
VH1 Classic often celebrate
and discuss what many consid-
er to be the golden era of hard-
rock music. Hard-rock videos
from that time, once played
constantly on MTV, can also be
seen once again on VH1 Clas-
sic every week, and many of
the top bands from the era have
enjoyed a renaissance. Radio,
which once abandoned the
genre, now plays it frequently
and locally, acts such as Bad
Hair Day have been drawing
crowds for more than a decade.
Cortazar, who names Tommy
Lee as his biggest influence,
echoes the thoughts of many
fans of the era: The music
wasn’t just about girls and
good times. The musicians
could really play.
“Kenny’s biggest influence
was Eddie Van Halen, who was
phenomenal,” he says. “That’s
when guitar players put leads in
their music and gave their riffs
soul. The whole band made

By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
Hard times for techies
A
pple is at it again —
this time it’s taken
away its customer’s
ability to replace the hard disk
drives in its popular iMac
desktop computer.
The restriction of your
freedom to expand or remove
your hard drives as you see fit
is just the latest in a long string
of restrictions and lockdowns
on Apple’s innards.
You can’t replace the
batteries on an iPod — at
least, not without a lot of grief
(trust me, I’ve done it). You
can’t upgrade the RAM in its
air laptops. And now you can’t
swap out a hard drive on an
iMac.
While this may not be much
of an issue for the average
Mac owner, as a “tech” guy,
it makes me bristle. I like
tinkering with the guts of my
Weekender
Always a good fit.
computer. If I opened the case
and found that the hard drive
couldn’t be swapped out, well,
I’d break out the soldering
iron and the hammer and do it
the old-fashioned way, but that
would be the last time I ever
bought that particular brand
of computer.
And for those Mac owners
who turn their noses up at
upgrades, what will happen
when the hard drive in the
iMac dies?
You can’t fix it then, you
can’t call your computer guy,
and you can’t take it to Best
Buy.
Looks like you’re driving to
the Apple Store. Enjoy.
I get that Apple probably
doesn’t want people fooling
around inside their machines:
User experience, warranties,
and all that jazz. It’s the same

with new cars (although that com.
hasn’t stopped me yet).
But you have to wonder,
shouldn’t you have the choice
to upgrade — or break —
your own computer, if you so
desire?
This seems like a step
backwards for Apple — its
desktop computers had been
moving … slowly… in the
direction of standardization.
Maybe in two or three
generations, the iMac will be a
solid chunk of plastic with the
components embedded inside.

No problem. Get out a chisel.

the
ralphie report We Need
Your Help!
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
Ralphie interviews All Time Low at Rodano’s
in Wilkes-Barre last week.
A
lot has been made about
the release of All Time
Low’s fourth album,
“Dirty Work.” Many people
have speculated that due to inner
workings at Interscope Re-
cords, the LP’s release was de-
layed from March to the new
date of June 7. Even Yellowcard
lead singer Ryan Key, who
recently toured with ATL, men-
tioned the ordeal in an interview
with “The Ralphie Radio
Show” last month.
“I’ve talked with the guys in
All Time Low about (label poli-
tics), you know, just about every-
thing that’s going on with them,”
Key said while on tour with the
band. “They’re trying to get their
record out, and they’re kind of
playing the major-label thing
right now. Their release date has
gotten pushed back a bunch of
times, and we went through the
exact same situation on the re-
cord following ‘Ocean Ave-
nue.’”
But All Time Low frontman
Alex Gaskarth sang a different
tune in an interview on “The
RRS,” dismissing the idea that
Interscope “pushed back” the
release of “Dirty Work.”
“We kind of jumped the gun
on announcing anything,” Gas-
karth claimed. “We were shoot-
ing for March, we were hoping
for March, everybody’s fingers
were crossed on March. What
ended up happening was, it
wasn’t March.”
According to the lead singer,
Interscope may have planned all
along to release the LP in June,
as opposed to delaying the re-
lease. Gaskarth says the situation
taught ATL a valuable lesson:
Watch your words in print in-
terviews.
“(The print media) will take
you saying, ‘We’re hoping for
March,’ to ‘The record’s coming
out in March,’” he said. “It got
lost in translation.”

The popular barbecue spot host-
ed a birthday party for the res-
taurant’s owner, Eytan Sugar-
man. The owner’s actual birth-
day was last month, but with
Timberlake in New York this
week to host “Saturday Night
Live,” they delayed the party in
part so the pop star could attend.
A person that was inside the
Hell’s Kitchen location tells
“The RRS” that Timberlake and
Wilde were in the back of South-
ern Hospitality having dinner.
“He had his arm around her the
whole time,” the witness re-
called.
As Timberlake and Wilde
walked to a private lounge where
more celebrities were hanging
out, it was apparent to others
that the two are an item.
Wilde and her husband Tao
Ruspoli announced they were
separating in February. Tim-
berlake and former girlfriend
Jessica Biel allegedly split last

onsidered a revisionist
western, “The Sisters

entrance, “Ablutions.” The novel
opens with two brothers — Eli

known as the Sisters Brothers.
Readers cannot quite tell whether
they are good or bad, and that
question of distinction is what
pushes the story forward.

Obtain your fee without ques-
tions. But the brothers do have
questions, especially Eli, who
cannot help but wonder, “What
has Hermann Warm done?”
Eli is the narrator and, in some
ways, the battling conscience of
his brother, Charlie. The impor-
tance of the story does not stem
from finding Hermann Warm,
but the relationship between the
brothers. Their journey is by no
means easy — riding on horses,
While there is a
great deal of dark
humor throughout
the novel, it
remains edgy and
unyielding.
Eli and Charlie travel from Cali-
fornia to Oregon — each mile
bringing them closer to their
bounty.
As a picaresque, a popular
sub-genre of prose fiction, the
brothers collide with a brazen
cast of characters. While some
are helpful, others are dubious,
and in some ways lead the broth-
ers off track. And, all the while,
the narrator offers up what he
sees on the travels.
“In the morning it was raining
— constant cold drops that turn-
ed the roads to muddy soup.”
The narrative is thought-provok-
ing and even considering the
violence; there is always the
division between the ever-present
evils and the fight for humanity.
The didactic between the bad
and the good is distorted
throughout the novel, which is
partially how readers can manage
to love even the most suspect of
characters. The timeframe of the
Gold Rush also adds to the over-
all environment as it draws atten-
tion to why the themes of lust
and greed lead to brutality.
While there is a great deal of
dark humor throughout the novel,
it remains edgy and unyielding.
Like many westerns, the setting
is accompanied by the bad, the
good and the horrible. Within the
story, there are themes and ster-
eotypes that westerns have in-
cluding, but not limited to, cow-
boys and brothels.
Some western novellas have
managed to seep into the main-
stream spotlight. However, many
of the genre writers have not
managed to gain the same mo-
mentum as DeWitt. The novel is
likeable on many levels, but
particularly to note, is DeWitt’s
ability to engage different audi-
ences through the various charac-
ters. Whether a true western fan
or not, “The Sisters Brothers”
gives readers a sense of adven-
ture without ever having to stare
down the barrel of a gun.

ing until now.
“It is also the evening for the
Fine Arts Fiesta and Third Friday
in Wilkes-Barre,” he said. “So
there’s other things going on, so
we thought we would just sort of
piggyback off of that and make it
an evening of art and culture.”
Nardone said the music for the
evening will be provided by
Donnie Kirchner, who he de-
scribed as a young throwback to
the 1950s with a James Dean-ish
kind of look. He also said that
jewelry artist Ray Owlett would
be at the event, and there may be
some raffles to win free mer-
chandise.
“We just wanted to do some-
thing fun,” he said.
And fun is what they do. First
opening in Shavertown in 2001,
Outrageous started out just sell-
ing jewelry and gifts, according
to Nardone, but over time it has
evolved.
“We’re still tweaking it,” Nar-
done said. “We’re still figuring
out who we are and who we want
to be. We’re always trying new
products. Our gift line is not
typical. It’s meant to be fun. They
make you smile and laugh. They
are witty and funny.”
The store’s second location in
Scranton, which opened about
eight years ago, is the largest
evolution, including the regular
retail section that is in all of the
stores, a full service coffee bar/
café with drinks, sweets and
sandwiches, and a book store on
the second floor. However, Nar-
done said the location in Wilkes-
Barre will only be the retail ver-
sion, replacing the store that had
been in Shavertown.
A native of Wilkes-Barre,
Nardone said he felt that it was a
great place to open up a store,
especially in the Midtown Vil-
lage Plaza.
“I really wanted to be in a
downtown area. People come to
work, they take breaks at lunch,
they walk around. There’s foot
traffic — people are moving
about.”
And Nardone said that is what
he likes about being in the down-
town — there is a lot going on.
He said stores like Outrageous
can’t just open their doors at 10
a.m. and close them at 7 p.m.,
hoping that people will just ven-
ture in. To him, being an active
part of the community helps keep
business going and keeps the
community constantly growing
as well. With independent stores
such as his and Beehive, which is
located in the same area, Nar-
done hopes to help contribute to
the revitalization that has been
happening in Wilkes-Barre.
“It’s going through a renais-
sance,” he said. “There’s a lot of
change; it’s well lit, it’s easy to
travel, easy to move around. It’s a
very nice city.”
As for the grand-opening cele-
bration, Nardone said he wants to
let people know that the store is
there and that he enjoys being
part of the downtown business
community.
“Empty storefronts don’t do
anyone any good — they have to
be full,” he said. “I just hope that
people appreciate that we’re
there. The best way to make sure
businesses stay is to support
them. Independent merchants
need your support.”
He said he hopes that people
will stop by the night of the event
and see what Outrageous is all
about.
“Come down, pay us a visit.
Have a glass of wine, have some
cheese. Listen to some music.
Meet us, say hey.” W

gifted individuals a
chance to show off their voice,
dance moves, comedic abilities
and other strange talents? It was a
theweekender.com staple of television in the 1970s
and ’80s, but it’s a very rare oc-
currence in our modern world.
We’ve come a long way since Ed
Sullivan and Sonny and Cher, but
there is still hope for bringing the
variety show into the 21st century.
Eleanor Rigby’s, along with
Headdies, is reviving the enter-
tainment pastime Saturday, May
21 with its first ever variety show.
It all started with a dream,
which was then passed down the
grapevine, and before long, “The
Variety Show” was born.
“My friend Vic Ceria of local
rock band Run Forest Run came
up with the idea and mentioned it
to me one night over a Facebook
chat,” said Eleanor Rigby’s pro-
moter Brian Errigo. “He said it
was delivered to him by John
Bonham during a very vibrant
dream. I think it’s a great idea to

hold one in NEPA.”
The next step in getting the
show together was finding the
ideal local sponsor with a dis-
tinctive flair that would blend
perfectly with the event. The
venue turned to local glass gal-
lery and pipe shop Headdies.
“‘The Variety Show’ is a very
unique kind of show, so it only
made sense to find a local spon-
sor that is just as far-out,” Errigo
explained. “Headdies is the only
shop of its kind in the area; their
products are truly a work of art.”
The venue developed an in-
teresting judging process for the
show which includes what orga-
nizers refer to as “three psychotic
judges” who will determine who
takes home a $300 cash prize.
“Think ‘American Idol’ mixed
with ‘The Gong Show,’” Errigo
said. “Three judges will offer
sometimes harsh verbal criticism,
judge on a scale from 1-10,
choose one $300 cash prize win-
ner and one runner up.”
Our area has plenty of events
and live music to keep locals
entertained all weekend long, but
“The Variety Show” promises to
be something truly one of a kind.
“Having to listen to six differ-
ent cover bands play their version
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 2011
of ‘Don’t Stop Believin’’ gets old
really fast on your average week-
end bar hop,” Errigo said. “Varie-
ty shows are extremely entertain-
ing, and they are also a great way
to socialize and meet new peo-
ple.”
A diverse group of talent is
ready to take the stage to enter-
tain and surprise the audience.
One performer, Crystal Pullen,
will dazzle with her female im-
personation of Michael Jackson.
“She was the first person to
respond to the ad,” Errigo shared.
“I watched one of her videos on
YouTube and was very im-
pressed. I love the King of Pop,
and she is basically a freshly
resurrected MJ.”
Another chosen act, Pete “The
Human Floor” Tino, has been
featured everywhere from
“America’s Got Talent” to “HBO
Late Night with Katie Morgan.”
He is known for his perplexing
ability to perform incredible feats
of strength and holds the world
record for most weight on a hu-
man body at 3,531 pounds. Other
acts include time-traveling come-
dian and ukulele player Adam
Catscratch and the Juggling and
Magic of Mike Simon.
To attract the wacky collection
of performers, Eleanor Rigby’s
used the online go-to guide for
everything from used furniture to
finding a mate, Craigslist.
“I posted a couple Craigslist
ads in Scranton, Philly and New
York City looking for people with
strange or unique talents,” Errigo
said. “A lot of people responded
to the ad, I basically explained the
idea to everyone and told them
not to enter the competition if you
are sensitive to harsh criticism,
due to the absurd nature of our
judges — that filtered out a lot of
potential contestants, and then I
just picked the coolest five acts.”
Like many of the shows held at
Eleanor Rigby’s, this one is also
an all-ages event, which allows
both young and old to meet on
common ground.
“Before you’re 21, there really
isn’t much to do around here
besides ride around in cars and
break bottles behind Turkey Hill,”
Errigo stated. “We separate the
bar area from the under-21 sec-
tion so that people of all ages
could come out to see a show and
have a safe, enjoyable time.” W

A myth gets a
modern makeover
By Noelle Vetrosky
Weekender Correspondent
W
hen you step into a thea-
ter to see the latest
smash audiences are
raving about and critics continue
to praise, do you ever think about
what it took to get to opening
night? How long did it take to get
from the pages of a script to a real,
live performance filled with pas-
sionate actors, colorful sets and
authentic costumes? It may never
be something you think about, but
for a playwright or a director of a
brand-new show, it is priority one.
The Jason Miller Playwrights’
Project will present a free staged
reading of local playwright Alicia
Grega’s new production, “Aveng-
ing Arachne: A Nemesister Fa-
ble” Wednesday, May 18 at 7 p.m.
at The Olde Brick Theatre in
Scranton. The myth of Arachne, a
gifted weaver turned into a spider
by goddess Athena inspired the
play, but Grega put a new twist on
an old legend by setting the story
in a modern world with modern
worries and modern relationship
issues.
Those attending the reading
will be the first to hear “Avenging
Arachne.” And because it isn’t a
formal, finalized production,
attendees are encouraged to share
their thoughts and opinions with
the production team. Director
Sarah Stachura Regan has been
working with Grega since the first
draft was complete and is thrilled
to take the next step in getting the
play audience ready.
“The staged reading is a won-
derful resource for the production
process,” Stachura Regan ex-
plained. “However, it’s only a step
in seeing the true finished prod-
uct. What we do at the JMPP is
present a staged reading to gener-
ate audience feedback and dis-
cussion. This discussion might
inspire the author to edit and
revise their finished product, so it

may be more production-friendly
or they may feel that their piece is
perfect the way it is.
The cast of ‘Avenging Arachne.’
“We get to see a
piece that hasn’t
been produced
anywhere else.”
Director Sarah Stachura Regan
“Either way, the forum is great
because we get to see a piece that
hasn’t been produced anywhere
else. That in itself is pretty excit-
ing, I think.”
Stachura Regan said that the
cast of “Avenging Arachne” is
able to really get in tune with their
characters.
“I would have to say it is defi-
nitely rewarding to be with such a
diverse group of local actors who
really want to see the characters
come to life,” she said. “We’d be
in rehearsal and would stop read-
ing to discuss what we thought a
particular character was really
thinking, like we were gossiping
about someone we knew. Every-
one in the cast brings something
great to the table.”
As rewarding as the experience
is, there were trials and tribula-
tions that had to be smoothed out
along the way, which is what
makes the staged reading so im-
portant as it gives the production
team a chance to look at what
works, what doesn’t and what
needs to be perfected before it
moves into full on production
mode. Among the challenges
Stachura Regan faced was getting
the cast together for rehearsals.
“We managed it though!” she
said, “Also I think trying to chan-
nel all my visions for what I want-
ed to see onstage was a little
tough. A staged reading is not
nearly as involved as a full-
fledged production. What would
be those ‘little extras’ that would
draw the audience in? And what
were the things that maybe would
work for a full production, but
would just be cumbersome and
confusing in the staged reading
format? I had to take the time to
sort my thoughts out.”
Presenting the reading of
“Avenging Arachne” is not only
an accomplishment for Grega,
Stachura Regan and the JMPP, but
the community as a whole.
“There’s such a diverse, ener-
getic theater community here,”
Stachura Regan said. “So many
people want to use their gifts to
create a great show and great
experience for the audience. What
always blows me away is how
hard people are willing to work,
usually for little or no compensa-
tion.” W

returns to downtown
Wilkes-Barre for
56th year
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer

W
hen the founders of the Fine Arts
Fiesta first saw their concept come
to fruition 56 years ago, they
couldn’t possibly have imagined
that it would become the spirited fixture it is today
within the local arts scene. Each year since, artists,
performers and vendors have been invited to show
off what they’ve got, and over the years it has
evolved into the wide-reaching artistic affair it is
today. The event, which is the culmination of the
work of key community members and volunteers,
hits Wilkes-Barre’s Public Square May 19-22. This
year’s theme is “Enrich Your Senses.”
The approaching celebration features a juried
art show comprised of work by area residents, live
performances, food and an artists’ market, where
a selection of arts and crafts will be available for
purchase. The idea behind FAF was borne out
of the benefactors’ desire to create an event that
would capture the ethnicity that has always been a
part of the area’s heritage, while also providing an
easily accessible outlet for local ingenuity.
“It was a result of the United Nationalities
Pageant that we were doing at Wilkes, and I
wanted to continue to highlight the nationality
groups in the area, and the cultural groups. There’s
a lot of talent in this area,” said Alfred S. Groh,
founding advisor. and “Unity Community,” an African drum and

Godwin said. “I know Marquis Art & Frame has
an art opening that night. The Kirby has something
going on. There is visual art in the different
hotels, Genetti’s and the Ramada. Over at ART
SEEN Gallery, there’s a poetry reading with an
internationally-known poet. Wherever you look,
we’re hoping that there’s something wonderful to
do.”
Bringing people
together

A
side from the array of artsy attractions, one
of the most interesting facts about the Fine
Arts Fiesta is that there is no admission
charge — a huge plus for penny-pinching students
who may be lingering after the spring semesters
wrap up. Patrons will still have to shell out for
food and souvenirs, but, as has been the case since
its inception, all of the entertainment is completely
free. That means donations are a crucial part of
organizing and planning.
“We fundraise all year long, that’s part of our
job. People have been generous, but we do have a
budget, and we have to stay within that budget,”
Godwin explained. “I like to try to keep the
money local, so as much as I can, I keep our own
little economy afloat with the dollars that people
contribute, try to give it back to the community
through the performers.”
Essentially, the event has a dual purpose. It’s a
celebration of the arts, but by extension it serves
to showcase a wide range of artistic endeavors that
many people in the community may not have even
known about otherwise. And by including bands
that have a largely youthful fan base, this year’s
shindig seems to be looking to set a standard
where reaching the largest audience is concerned.
“The arts hold a mirror to life. The arts explore
feelings and are beautiful,” Godwin said. “The
Square is beautified when we do this, and it brings
people together.
“It’s a chance … (to) showcase who we have
in our community that does this kind of stuff, and
hopefully someone will look at some performance
or some piece of art and say, ‘Gosh, I’d love to do
that.’ And then maybe they’ll try it themselves.
That’s my personal point of view.” W

Janelle Engle of Larksville, 18, writes the fashion blog Girls Like You are the Absolute Worst.
Barbie, blogging and bargains
I
spoke with 18-year-old Janelle Engle
of Larksville to learn a little more
about her ultra-hip fashion blog,
Girls Like You are the Absolute Worst
(absoluteworst.blogspot.com), her love
for Barbie and her inspiration for her
fashion-forward wardrobe choices.
Engle will attend The Art Institute of
Philadelphia for fashion merchandising
this fall.
WEEKENDER: What made you
want to start a blog, and how long
have you been blogging?
JANELLE ENGLE: I really enjoy
writing and giving my thoughts on things
and, of course, I love fashion. I’ve had a
fashion blog for a few months now.
WEEKENDER: It seems you are a
big fan of Barbie. I can relate. Why the
love?
ENGLE: What girl doesn’t want
to be Barbie as a kid? She has a pink
convertible, amazing hair and an
awesome wardrobe. A better question
would be why not love Barbie!
WEEKENDER: How would you
describe your “type” of fashion?
ENGLE: Depends on what day of
the week! Honestly, I don’t really have
a type — my style changes daily, and I
encourage everybody else to mix it up
also. Committing to one type of style
is the worst thing you can do in my
opinion.
WEEKENDER: How do you
assemble your outfit in the morning?
Is there a strategy?
ENGLE: Fashion with a strategy just
wouldn’t be fun! I just go by whatever
mood I’m in and take it from there.
WEEKENDER: How do you find
the articles of clothing you like to write
about?
ENGLE: It depends. Usually I’m
online shopping, and I find something I
really love, so I write about it. I’m also
always hunting for a bargain, all items on
my blog will always be $100 or less, so
if I see a good deal, I’ll most likely write
an entry inspired from it.
WEEKENDER: I read that you’re
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 2011
obsessed with warrior bondage
inspired clothing. Why the obsession?
ENGLE: It was just a mood I was in.
I like how fashion lets you play dress up,
and for some reason that day I was in the
mood to be a warrior chick. I try to mix it
up as much as possible.
WEEKENDER: What’s your
favorite place to shop?
ENGLE: Thrift stores, Etsy.com and
Ebay.com. I’m always on the hunt for
one-of-a-kind things. Urban Outfitters,
H&M, PacSun and Forever 21 are just
some of my other favorites, though.
WEEKENDER: What’s your career
goal?
ENGLE: To be a fashion magazine
editor or stylist for music videos/
television/movies.
WEEKENDER: What do you see
yourself doing in the next five years?
ENGLE: I have actually no idea. The
future is unpredictable for me, but I’m

ready for whatever direction it takes me
in. W

sorry mom & dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
Recipe for disaster
I
n every group of friends
there’s that one person who
gets a little too drunk at the
party. Before you know it, they’re
three shots ahead of
you and having a
menage a trois on
the roof with a good
friend and an in-
flatable whale. I
know, because the
person I am describ-
ing is me. It’s all fun
and games when a
sober friend is on
standby in case the
dry-humping gets so
wild that you bounce
off the inflatable
whale and start roll-
ing off the roof, but what hap-
pens when two ungovernable
party animals unite? You get a
recipe for disaster …
Inarguably, if it weren’t for the
Egyptian roommate I lived with
when I first moved to Los An-
geles, the transition wouldn’t
have been so smooth. I loved the
guy like a brother.
The only flaw he had was that
sometimes he was an emotional
drunk. Since I was guilty of the
same behavior after inhaling
more Long Island iced teas in
one night than any doctor would
recommend in a calendar season,
it sometimes led to preposterous
drunken quarrels.
Prime example: The night we
partied at LAX.
My friend Anna was visiting
from England, and my room-
mate’s Lebanese girlfriend Sha-
reen was visiting from San Die-
go, and we all decided to hit up
LAX, a popular Hollywood
nightclub.
Sometime near last call I found
my roommate talking to some
girl. When I started walking
toward them, I noticed she hand-
ed him her glass. After he took
the glass from her hand he
smashed it on the ground!
I almost pissed my pants from
laughing so hard after watching
this poor girl reach her hand out
and scream, “No!”
After breaking her glass, he
headed for the bar, where three
dirty glasses stood.
Smash! Smash! Smash!
Next thing you know, he’s
dragged out by two security
guards.
On the ride home, we were
stuck in traffic on the 101,
amongst an assemblage of cars
driving home from a night out,

Ride of
the Week
By Michael Golubiewski
Special to the Weekender
when my roommate started
screaming at us for not defending
him to the security guards.
“Stop! You’re scaring Anna,” I
screamed as she
was balling her
eyes out in fear
of how drunk and
raged my room-
mate was.
He then leaned
back and got
right in Anna’s
face, shouting at
her to “shut the
f--k up” and
mocking her
tears.
“We’re gonna
take a cab,” I
said, getting out of the car.
My roommate chased me
through the traffic jam while
screaming like a maniac. People
started rolling their windows up,
assumingly petrified.
“Get back in here, or I’ll kill
your sorry Egyptian ass,” shout-
ed Shareen, peeking out of the
sunroof.
Realizing things would only
get worse if I continued running
1995
around a traffic jam with a drunk
Egyptian chasing me, I got back
in the car. The argument contin-
ued back to the apartment.
Now in boxers and socks, my
roommate was still screaming.
When I said something he didn’t
like, he ran toward me, tripped,
and hit his head on the edge of
the stove.
Embarrassed and pissed, he
called 911, claiming I stabbed
him, and he was bleeding to
death. My! Jaw! Dropped!

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 2011
By Dale Culp
Weekender Correspondent
Scenes from the TooManyGames convention.
Remembering
TooManyGames
W
ho says the West Coast
has all the fun? Sure,
they might have PAX
Prime and E3, but we’re not
exactly lacking. If anything, the
East Coast is thriving with video
game/nerd culture events. We
have PAX East in Boston, the
New York Comic Con and a
number of smaller shows, such as
MAGFest, Blip Festival and, the
most recent, TooManyGames in
Oaks, Pa., near Philadelphia.
If I had to name my favorite
part of the TooManyGames
event, which took place from
May 6-8, I’d have to say it was
the marketplace. Even if I hadn’t
bought anything, it was the expe-
rience of walking through that
space, seeing the mass of classic,
rare and truly obscure gaming
hardware available for purchase
that I relished most of all. They
had things I hadn’t seen in dec-
ades, things I’d only ever read
about and things I didn’t even
know existed. Even weeks later,
it’s all I think about. I wanted
everything I saw there.
Beyond that, there were tables
and booths set up for artists,
musicians, developers and more
to show off their wares. A man
who makes poster prints out of
world maps and levels from

of these creative
minds, no system
is ever truly dead.
hardware, people doing all kinds
of crafts and creating artwork
based on video games with refer-
ences to some of the most be-
loved characters and franchises
of all time. The things people are
doing and creating based on the
culture of video games is abso-
lutely mind-blowing, and it all
gets celebrated here at this event.
I also had a chance to meet
with a number of developers
making video games for various
platforms, from PC to iOS, and
even obsolete platforms, such as
the NES and Atari 2600. Indeed,
in the hands of these creative
minds, no system is ever truly
dead.
Past the marketplace was a
massive LAN that had been set
up for PC gamers, a row of tables
for classic console gamers and
even a modern console area.
Further back was the bar, where
bands and musicians were setting
up to perform their work. Video
game music remixers, chiptune
producers and “nerdcore” hip-
hop artists performed all day
long. I met with many talented
individuals, many of whom re-
side in the Philadelphia region.
TooManyGames isn’t exactly
the Penny Arcade Expo, and the
number of attendees is also much
smaller, but the close-knit com-
munity makes a big difference.
It’s much easier to mingle and
meet new people with the same
interests as you. I saw a lot of old
friends who I’ve met at other
events, and it’s always a blast to

he saga of the little MG that
wouldn’t continues.
I have written several
times about my little English
heartbreaker. It has been an expe-
rience owning a car that vomits
oil, breaks accelerator cables and
blows up on occasion. It’s like a
child in that it is a blessing and
curse all rolled into one little
package.
But, for all its problems and
frustrations, there have been many
times when I was really glad to
have it. When it runs at all, it is
pretty much the most fun you can
have with clothes on. Whipping
down back roads here in NEPA
with the top down, the wind in
your hair, and the smooth purr of
those four cylinders is great.
Something about being out on a
really hot summer day, moving
from brilliance into cool dark
shadows all alone on a country
road — I guess you have to be
there, but it’s really fine.
You feel the road in one of these
babies. You are just inches from
the tarmac, and even at 30 mph
you feel like you are going 100
mph. The big fun is cornering, of
course. You become a pretend
race car driver. Visions in your
head of being behind the wheel of
a Formula One racer, screaming
down the streets of Monaco with
cheering crowds on the side, a
checkered flag and a beauty queen
with a trophy the size of a tele-
phone pole.
But lately the monster just will
not start. Turns over, will not fire.
Multiple tows to Ted, the MG
repair man (at $75 a pop) where it
starts just fine have led to certain
level of frustration. This coupled
with the fact the long-suffering
wife’s 11 year old Pontiac has
gone wheels up (blown head-
gasket, cracked block) has led me
to think quite seriously about
selling the MG. It would at the
very least save me lots in towing
bills.
The long-suffering wife is not a
fan of this idea. She is worried
that I will regret the loss of my toy.
To be honest, I am conflicted.
This week went a long way to
making up my mind. I had ar-
ranged with a shade-tree mechan-
ic (only a $25 tow) to get the beast
running. My half-assed plan? Put
it up on eBay and place it on a
used car lot to see if I could get
$5,000 for it.
This is really almost a gift:
High retail is $24,000! Average
$10,000. Low retail $6,000.
But it needs paint, it’s a 20-
footer at best, and the market for
British cars is not great when the
economy is not in the shitter. At
this point in the world economy, I
think the words nearly worthless
sort of apply.
So prior to the last tow, I trickle
charged the battery for a few days.
I decided a last ditch effort was in
order. I sat and cranked that starter
for 20 minutes.
Nada.
Just one more try. The thing
coughed. Kept at it. Coughed
some more. Fired. Stalled. Fired.
Ran really rough for 10 seconds.
Wouldn’t fire again. One. More.
Try.
It caught and ran. On one cylin-
der. I drove it 10 miles. It was odd
to feel it slowly come up to speed,
one cylinder at a time. It started to
feel like it used to.
Brought her home. Lavished
TLC on her. Top to bottom. Ar-
mor-all, tire black and even put
the cursed cover over the retracted
convertible top (a very hard proc-
ess).
Of course this is all just getting
her ready to drop off at the used
car lot after I take some beauty
shots of her … notice that the
references have gone from mon-
ster to beast to her?
Took her for an hour ride last
night. Got a milkshake and spun
her by the lake, a ride she likes.
Fell in love again.
I dunno.
Maybe I’ll keep her. W ladder barrel and cardiolates on

Weekender Correspondent
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Many people in the world don’t share
your values. That’s not usually a problem,
except when they’re people who are close
to you, like family members, coworkers
or even lovers. On some things, of course,
you can simply agree to disagree, or make
a rule that the subject is verboten. Howev-
er, there are other issues where the dis-
agreement is so fundamental that it makes
it difficult for you to coexist or cooperate.
This is a harder quandary to solve. Some-
times it leads to estrangement. If that
happens, it’s good to periodically reach
out and see if the gap can be bridged. If
you have any inclination to do such a
thing, now would be a good week to try.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
When you have too much downtime,
your active mind stirs up trouble. You
create problems where there are none,
imbue situations with too much emotion-
al meaning, and generally have a tenden-
cy to get over-dramatic. Keep yourself
busy. No need to run yourself ragged, but
if you fall asleep shortly after your head
hits the pillow, you’ll be happier — and
so will those around you. Fill up your
mental appointment book right now, and
keep your busy brain from attending to all
but the most pressing and relevant issues.
Those are really the only ones it should
be bothering with, anyway. The rest really
doesn’t matter.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Yes, ultimately, certain decisions are
yours to make, and no one else gets to
make them for you (even if they think
they should). However, since some of
these may have a significant impact on
those close to you, they should be allowed
to weigh in, and heard with an open mind.
Be ready to change your mind, if they
make a compelling case — and, for in-
stance, are willing to help shoulder the
burden of the consequences of the choice
they’re attempting to convince you to
make. If they’re not willing to put up,
though, they should just shut up.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Virgos love projects. That’s why you
frequently get involved with people with
obvious baggage. These people are often
intensely creative, passionate, dynamic,
and exciting to be around, but they can
also veer into the paranoid, delusional, or
even abusive, when they’re at their worst.
This isn’t to say you shouldn’t take on
such projects — I’m sure most of the
time they’re grateful you’re willing to put
up with their shit, and as long as they’re
working on their own evolution, it’s a
noble thing you do. However, know where
your line is. When you don’t, you’ll find
that by the time you’ve figured things out,
they’ve already stepped way past it, and
it’s too late.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
We all make mistakes; quite often there
are prices to be paid for those mistakes.
Trying to shirk them rarely works out
well, and escaping the consequences of
your own (admittedly poor) choices
should be a last resort reserved for when
they’re truly dire, not for every little
screw-up in your life. Most of the time,
it’s better to simply stand up and face the
music, then move on, hopefully wiser.
That’s certainly the case this week, when
evading messes will only create more and
bigger messes. Don’t. Just roll up your
sleeves and clean up before things really
get out of hand.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Reach out. It’ll cost you almost no
effort. While it may, as you suspect, be
ignored or even unwelcome, there’s no
real harm done. On the other hand, there’s
a slight chance it might make a big differ-
ence. That possible good, even if unlikely,
is potentially very great, and outweighs
almost all other considerations. You never
know when a small gesture from you
might mean a huge difference in your life.
Since it requires so little and promises so
much, the only thing I can see stopping
you is your pride. And that’s a silly reason
to potentially miss out on so much.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
If harsh news needs to be delivered,
better it come from you than be discov-
ered some other way. It may be difficult
to be the bearer of bad tidings, but you’re
better equipped to deal the blow with as
much kindness as possible (without
shrinking from telling the truth) than
anyone else you know. Therefore, it’s
right that such a duty falls to you, as
unpleasant as it might be. Look at it as an
opportunity to be there for someone, and
to make a difficult chapter of their life
potentially just a little easier. They’d at
least try to do the same for you.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Refusing to go to the beach because
you don’t look as good in a bathing suit
as you’d like is silly. Understandable, but
still silly. Life’s short, and chances are
you’ll look progressively worse in bathing
suits as you get older. Does that mean you
should never go to the beach again? Don’t
deprive yourself of wonderful experiences
for absurd reasons like this one. Remem-
ber, no one’s likely to judge you anywhere
near as harshly as you judge yourself.
Almost all of those cruel self-judgments
do more to hold you back than anything
else. This week, let some of them go, so
you can simply enjoy yourself. You de-
serve that.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Bittersweet is the flavor of the week,
perhaps even of the year. It’s an acquired
taste, to be sure. Acquire it. Learn to love
it. It’s actually one of the best and most
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 2011
interesting flavors in life. If you really
appreciate it, it’s a constant affirmation
that you’re truly living. You only get to
experience that taste when you truly care
about something that’s not really in your
control. That’s life. Bittersweet is some-
thing that people with few attachments or
cares never get to experience. When you
taste it, don’t feel sorry for yourself —
consider yourself very lucky, instead.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Different people can see the same sit-
uation many different ways. However,
trying to find a perspective where you can
behave villainously and still come off as
the good guy is disingenuous. Own what
you do, and if you’ve acted unethically or
unkindly, accept it, instead of trying to
twist things to escape the consequences
of your own actions. None of us is a saint.
Shit happens. The correct thing to do
afterwards is stand up and claim it, in-
stead of trying to shift the blame. This
week, make sure you do mostly the for-
mer, and none of the latter.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
I love your passion. However, some of
your reactions to life’s events can be a bit
over the top. I hope you never lose that
enthusiasm and excitement. But at the
same time your continued evolution re-
quires that you learn to rein it in and
direct it, so you’re not just a constantly
distracted whirlwind of gusto. This week,
your continued focus (or lack thereof)
will make all the difference in whether or
not you get the outcome you’re hoping
for. There will be many compelling dis-
tractions, and you don’t need to ignore
them—just don’t let them carry you away
until you’ve done what you came to do.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
It’s never too late to begin anything
(until you die). I know you’re unlikely to
impulsively embark upon a new path,
especially one that would seriously im-
pact those close to you, but I hope you
don’t rule it out. Trying something new is
part of being alive. Being willing to grow
and learn and challenge yourself is a way
to feel satisfied in your life. This week is
a fantastic opportunity to take the first
steps down a new path you’ve been con-
sidering for a while, perhaps something
risky or totally unknown. It doesn’t mean
you need to follow that path to its conclu-
sion — just, for now, take the first steps.
