Letter from the editor
Its been a long time since I
actually got nervous for an in-
terview.
What a welcome change that
was this week.
The folks at Lewis Blacks PR
agency moved quickly to get me
time with one of the most prolif-
ic comedians of our age. Im not
one to brag, but I was aware of
the self-proclaimed angry Jewish
comedian when he was telling
jokes about horses and college
and the end of the universe (i.e. a
Starbucks shop being built across
the street from another Starbucks
as a way to attract forgetful elder-
ly patients afflicted with some
form of dementia).
Set to talk to Black at 2 p.m.
on Monday afternoon, I started to
get nervous sweaty palms,
increased heart rate exhibiting
symptoms that would have kept
Ferris Bueller home for at least
one day out of nine in a single
semester.
As I finished prepping ques-
tions at 2:01 p.m. something I
also havent done in a long time
as I prefer interviews to be more
conversational than Q&A my
phone rang.
Good afternoon, the Week-
ender. This is Chris, I answered.
Chris, this is Lewis Black, he
greeted me.
A moment of shock and awe,
then back to reality.
Seventeen minutes later, the
conversation had ended, resulting
in the article youll find this
week about his upcoming appear-
ance in Scranton.
For all the times hes made me
laugh, I got a chuckle out of
Lewis with a quip about Scran-
tons drinking game related to
their mention by Vice President
Joe Biden during last weeks
debate.
If Biden mentioned Scranton,
you had to drink, I said. But its
Scranton, so really, you just kept
drinking.
Thats funny, he said, with a
half-laugh, half-cough.
That ones on me, Lewis. It
should play well here on Oct. 25.
Enjoy that story, and all of the
others this week. I know I will
for a long time to come.

DOUBLE DOWN
The F.M. Kirby Center (71
Public Square, Wilkes-Barre)
announced Friday that blues
legends Buddy Guy and Jonny
Lang will co-headline the down-
town venue on Feb. 23 at 8 p.m.
Tickets go on sale Friday, Oct.
19.
Guy is a six-time Grammy
Award winner and a member of
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
A pioneer of the Chicago blues
sound, he is ranked 30th in Roll-
ing Stone magazines list of the
100 Greatest Guitarists of All
Time, Guy is known for his
showmanship on stage - playing
his guitar with drumsticks or
strolling into the audience while
playing solos.
In addition to six Grammy
Awards, Guy has also won the
National Medal of Arts and
Billboard magazines The Centu-
ry Award. In 2005, Clapton and
B.B. King inducted Guy into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
This past February he performed
at the White House for President
Barack Obama, and successful-
ly encouraged the president to
sing a few bars of Sweet Home
Chicago.
Lang first started playing gui-
tar at 12 and released his debut
album, Smokin, just two years
later. He has since released five
more studio albums, including
the Grammy-winning Turn
Around in 2006.
Tickets range from $49-$99.
SWEET GEORGIA BROWN
Hear a familiar whistle around
Wilkes-Barre? That could be
Sweet Georgia Brown, the
song of the Harlem Globe-
trotters, blowing the breeze.
The renowned hoops stars will
bring their You Write the Rules
world tour to the Mohegan Sun
Arena at Casey Plaza (255
Highland Park Blvd., Wilkes-
Barre) on Feb. 24 at 3 p.m.
Highlighted for its unprece-
dented level of fan participation,
audience members will decide
the rules of each game that could
affect the final outcome. Two
basketballs at once? Double
points? Anything goes in this
fan-friendly game.
Tickets start at $15 and are on
sale now.
HELP FOR THE HOLIDAYS
The Tom Engle Kris Kringle
Toy Foundation will kick off its
annual toy drive on Oct. 21 from
2 p.m.-2 a.m. at the Getaway
Lounge and Entertainment
Complex (1477 W. Main St.,
Plymouth). The foundation,
established in memory of the late
Ashley Police Chief Thomas R.
Engle Sr., a 42-year veteran of
the force who anonymously
delivered toys to needy children
at Christmas time until his pass-
ing six years ago.
Attendees of the kick-off drive
are asked to bring a new, unwrap-
ped toy to help the foundation in
its annual mission.
Entertainment at the Oct. 21
event includes OZ and other area
artists.

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
SOUNDS DELICIOUS
For Septembers Digital Design
Weekend at the Victoria and
Albert Museum in London, art-
ists Michiko Nitta and Michael
Burton commissioned soprano
Louise Ashcroft to sing, altering
pitch and volume while wearing
a face mask made of algae. Ac-
cording to the artists, since al-
gaes growth changes with the
amount and quality of carbon
dioxide it receives, Ashcrofts
voice, blowing CO2 against the
algae, should vary the growths
taste as to bitterness or sweet-
ness. After the performance, the
audience sampled the algae at
various stages and apparently
agreed. The artists said they were
demonstrating how biotech-
nology could transform orga-
nisms.
DEATH PANELS
Habersham Funding of Ge-
orgia and its competitors make
their money by buying terminally
ill clients life insurance policies
for lump sums, then continuing
to pay the policies premiums so
that they collect as beneficiaries
upon death. The companies
business model therefore de-
pends on those clients dying
quickly; a client who outlives
expectations turns the investment
sour. Thus, according to an Au-
gust report by the New York
Times, the companies run exten-
sive background checks on the
illnesses and lifestyles of poten-
tial clients and employ sophisti-
cated computer algorithms that
predict, better than doctors can,
how long a client will live. Sup-
posedly, according to the report,
the companies are nonchalant
about erroneous predictions. No
company, they claim, has an
official policy of hoping for early
death.
PRICEY POISON
Scorpion antivenom made in
Mexico sells in Mexico for about
$100 a dose, but for a while over
the last year, the going rate in the
emergency room of the Chandler
(Ariz.) Regional Medical Center
was $39,652 a dose, charged to
Marcie Edmonds, who was stung
while opening a box of air-condi-
tioner filters in June. She re-
ceived two doses by IV and was
released after three hours, to later
find a co-pay bill of $25,537
awaiting her (with her Humana
plan picking up $57,509), ac-
cording to the Arizona Republic
newspaper. The Republic found
that Arizona hospitals retailed it
for between $7,900 and $12,467
per dose -- except for Chandler.
Following the newspapers report,
Chandler decided to re-price the
venom at $8,000 a dose, thus
eating a $31,652 loss.
EVENT IS A FLOP
Among the least-important
effects of last summers drought
in the Midwest: Officials over-
seeing the annual Wisconsin
State Cow Chip Throw said there
would be fewer high-quality cow
patties. Said chairperson Ellen
Paulson: When its hot, the cows
dont eat as much. And what was
produced, they just dried up too
quick. A few patties had been
saved from the 2011 competition,
but, she said, Its not like you
can go out and buy them.
FARMS OF THE FUTURE
At least two teams of Swiss
researchers are developing tools
that can improve farmers effi-
ciency and reduce the need for
shepherds. The research group
Kora has begun outfitting sheep
with heart rate monitors that,
when predators approach, regis-
ter blood-pressure spikes that are
texted to the shepherd, summon-
ing him to the scene. Another
inefficiency is cow farmers
frequent needs to locate and
examine cows that might be in
heat, but professors at a Bern
technical college are testing
placing thermometers in cows
genitals, with text messages
alerting the farmer that a specific
cow is ready for mating. (Since
most insemination is done artifi-
cially, farmers can reduce the
supply of bull semen they need to
keep in inventory.)
MARKING TERRITORY
Researchers writing in the
journal Animal Behaviour in July
hypothesized why male pandas
have sometimes been seen per-
forming handstands near trees.
They are urinating, the scientists
observed, and doing handstands
streams the urine higher on the
tree, presumably signaling their
mating superiority. A San Diego
Zoo researcher involved in the
study noted that an accompany-
ing gland secretion gives off even
more personal information to
other pandas than the urine
alone.
PUPPY KISSES
Spending on health care for
pets is rising, of course, as com-
panion animals are given almost
equal status as family members.
In Australia, veterinarians who
provide dental services told
Queenslands Sunday Mail in
August that they have even begun
to see clients demanding cosmet-
ic dental work -- including ortho-
dontic braces and other mouth
work to give dogs kissable
breath and smiles improved by
removing the gap-tooth look.
W
I WOULDNT WIPE MY A-- WITH THAT AD!
Jordan and Bryan Silvermans start-up venture, Star Toilet Paper, distributes
rolls to public restrooms in restaurants, stadiums and other locations abso-
lutely free -- because the brothers have sold ads on each sheet. (Company slo-
gan: Dont rush. Look before you flush.) Jordan, with 50 advertisers enlisted
so far, told the Detroit Free Press in August that he came up with the idea, of
course, while sitting on the can at the University of Michigan library.

When someone says Social
Media, what generally comes
to mind are Facebook and Twit-
ter in the news, explosively
expanding, highly influential
brands.
But the sheer size of the
Internet means less well-known
but very popular sites go unno-
ticed.
A prime example is Reddit.
Reddit bills itself as the
front page of the Internet, and
in a way thats accurate.
Reddit users, called Reddi-
tors, contribute content by post-
ing links, photos, videos or text
about anything to the site. Other
users are free to comment on
the posts, upvote a post if
they like it or downvote a
post if they dont. This has the
effect of culling out content
people arent interested in.
The front page of Reddit
features some of the most pop-
ular content on the site, pulled
from a variety of different top-
ical pages known as sub-Red-
dits.
These include standard cate-
gories like Politics, Science,
Music, Movies and World
News, and unique ones such as
IAMA, where people who
have had unique jobs or careers
(actors, writers and political
figures, including President
Barack Obama) answer ques-
tions from the community at
large. The IAMA name
comes from the phrase I Am
A, because posts typically read
something like IAmA Theoret-
ical Particle Physicist, Ask Me
Anything. Its most commonly
referred to as an Ask Me Any-
thing thread.
There are hundreds of sub-
Reddits for just about anything
that interests anyone. There are
support forums where people
can ask questions or get advice
on illnesses, automotive repair,
or photography, to name a few.
Of course, like so many
things on the Internet, theres a
dark side to Reddit. Ive heard
it said that Reddit contains both
the best and the worst of the
Internet, and its true. If you
stick to relatively mainstream
sections that are well moderat-
ed, youll be OK, but there are
some areas of the site where
nearly anything goes. If you
decide to pay the site a visit,
consider yourself warned.
In general, if youre easily
offended, Id recommend staying
away but if youve got a rela-
tively thick skin or a good
sense of humor, its a great
place to find articles and in-
formation youd likely have
trouble digging up by yourself.
Having a Reddit account is
not necessary to view Reddit
posts, but it is necessary to
make them.
Visit reddit.com to learn
more.
Reddit may be lesser known to the general public, but
the social media site receives plenty of traffic.

Comedian Lewis Black, shown during a Jan. 2011 performance at the Scranton Cultural Center, returns
to the area next Thursday on the new Running on Empty tour. (Photo by Jason Riedmiller)
By Christopher J. Hughes
Weekender Editor
L
ewis Black
was on familiar
ground Monday
afternoon.
Im stuck at The Daily
Show, he explained.
Theyre up there writing it,
Grammy-winning comedian,Daily Show personality,
and author in Scranton Oct. 25
and I shoot it tomorrow.
Known to many for the
long-running Back in Black
segment on the satirical news
program, the comedian has
had his hands full with the
start of his Running on
Empty tour while one of his
original plays, One Slight
Hitch, continues its run in
New Brunswick, N.J. through
Oct. 28.
Written by Black 30 years
ago so that I could f--king
make a living as a playwright
and polished over the last 10
years, Hitch has been staged
in three cities in 2012.
If my name wasnt on
it, nobody would know that
I wrote it, he said. Its a
romantic comedy thats a
farce. Its a very old-fashioned
play. Its extremely audience-
friendly.
The play is a far cry from
the Black that many know and
love a stand-up who gives
a sometimes hard-to-swallow
look at what we deem valuable
along with the politics of
the day, spewing vitriol and
vulgarities with incredible
precision.
Truth is, Hitch is probably
much closer to the man

himself.
If I was like that all
the time, Id be dead, he
admitted. I might get through
three or four days, and then
Id drop dead from the sheer
exhaustion of yelling and
screaming constantly at my
age.
But in an election year,
theres still plenty to yell and
scream about.
Its as much fun as you can
have with stupidity. Really,
its like playing with your own
feces after a while, Black said
with a raspy laugh.
Like any good comedian
known in recent years for his
politically-driven wit, hes
watched the presidential and
vice presidential debates as
much as I can without feeling
that Ive been stricken with
West Nile.
Its insulting on massive
levels to have two minutes for
them to say what it is theyre
going to do, he continued.
Two minutes to explain
extremely complicated
economic, nancial, and
health care policies You
cant do it in two minutes!
It takes four minutes to
explain why two minutes
is stupid. You cant
explain how to
make a German
chocolate cake in
two minutes.
Opening the
Running on Empty
tour with several nights
on Broadway was
exhausting, but its
been extraordinary.
Im doing a longer
show than normal
(about 110 minutes
compared to the 75
that fans can see
on the road), but
it becomes like an
athletic event.
The show is at the
Richard Rogers Theater in
New York City, N.Y., through
Oct. 20. Black comes back to
the Scranton Cultural Center
(420 N. Washington Ave.,
Scranton) on Oct. 25, about
21 months after his last show
here.
Its a great audience, really
a terric audience, Black said
of his reasons for returning to
Scranton so often.
Fans need not worry that
theyre getting the same topics
that made Black angry on the
In God We Rust tour in Jan.
2011, such as the estimated
value of Facebook.
I go through the
health care plan, why
Social Security
doesnt work, and
why we wont have
alternative energy
in my lifetime,
he said. Its all
different. The
Facebook thing,
I nally go into a
larger context of the
history of why we all
have ADD (Attention
Decit Disorder). I keep
trying to gure out why we
cant function, and I think
that has a big part to do
with it.

I would

that this is the next chapter.
They have to start giving
those ADD drugs to adults
and not to kids. We actually
have things
to do, he continued. A
child still has a possibility of
learning how to focus on his
own, but we dont have the
time anymore.
At 64, Black shows no signs
of slowing down or pulling
any punches.
I hope a vacation, he
cracked when quizzed about
future plans. Im not sure if
Ill work on a book or a play
next... The thing right now is
I have about, all told, two and
a half hours worth of material.
Im wandering around with
the equivalent of two new
specials.
Thats good news for
fans, but probably not for
candidates. W

With an authentic whos
who of local punk and hard-
core bands set to perform,
Grey Zine guitarist and vo-
calist Evan Evans is excited
to be a part of the Oct. 19
Title Fight record release
show in Warrior Run featur-
ing six acts.
Its a really big occasion.
Since Redwood (Art Space in
Wilkes-Barre) closed, theres
not really any punk venues
around here, Evans said.
People are eager for a show,
so itll be fun to do it all in
one night.
Were just so excited to
play with so many great
bands from this area. Two
Worlds by Tigers Jaw from
Scranton is one of my per-
sonal favorite albums, he
added.
Joining Grey Zine, Tigers
Jaw, and Title Fight are Gyp-
sy, featuring Alex Russin, the
older brother of Title Fight
twins Ned and Ben; Founda-
tion; and The Menzingers.
For Grey Zine 25-year-
old Town Hill resident
Evans, bassist and vocalist
William McHale, and drum-
mer Kyle Smyth its a
chance to show how theyve
grown since forming the trio
in the fall of 2011.
We dont hate genres, but
we dont want to tag our-
selves as just one thing be-
cause everyone that hears it
gets a different impression
from it, Evans explained.
Its really hard to describe.
The three-song Repent
EP available at greyzine-
.bandcamp.com, for example,
heavily features their ethereal
shoegaze and Britpop influ-
ences (think The Smiths, My
Bloody Valentine, and Oa-
sis), but Evans said the last
year has brought more of a
power pop punk feeling to
the act.
The band has developed a
new batch of songs destined
for the tentatively titled Ho-
pesfault seven-inch, driven
more by those influences as
it continues to establish its
sound. Evans said he hopes
to release the songs Hopes-
fault and Bottom Feeder
as early as November.
Fans get a little bit of ev-
erything from live perform-
ances.
A lot of times, people
will come to our shows and
well play the songs that are
online with the other ones.
Its a little bit punk, a bit
catchy pop, and a little shoe-
gazey, he said.
Evans has kept ties with
Title Fight close, including
his recent role as the director
for the Head in the Ceiling
Fan video, the first single
off Floral Green.
Ive been friends with the
guys in Title Fight for a
while. We kind of grew up
in the same punk scene in
Wilkes-Barre. When I was
16, I was playing in a punk
band, Passing Time, and we
played this show with them
that I believe was their first
or second show, Evans re-
called.
Its great to see people
from this area having success
and making it outside the
tri-state area.
Grey Zine is currently
booking a February tour with
Oakland-based Whirr in and
around Pennsylvania. Title
Fight is scheduled to share
dates with that group on the
West Coast from Nov. 6-10.
For Grey Zine, though, the
future is pretty open.
We want to travel really
bad, Evans admitted. After
the February tour, were
looking to book some dates
next spring. Our plan is at
least by the spring to go into
the studio and record our
first full-length album.

Whenever most people hear
the name John Kadlecik, their
first thoughts probably involve
the band Furthur.
While Kadlecik is widely
respected as the lead guitarist and
co-vocalist for Bob Weir and Phil
Leshs offshoot band, there are
many sides to him. Theres a
decade-long stint in Dead tribute
act Dark Star Orchestra, and his
own project, the John K Band,
which will be at the River Street
Jazz Cafe this Saturday, Oct. 20.
Ive had bands playing origi-
nal music going back to the mid
80s, he said. Through the
1990s, I had this idea where I
wanted to get a project going in
the Chicago area to play Grateful
Dead music and use the set list as
sort of a curriculum for us. The
idea was to have the best Dead-
head players in Chicago, and it
would be a project of love.
It took me most of the 90s to
get it together, and in 1997, it
formed. Dark Star Orchestra just
took off, and we all decided to
quit our other projects I never
do projects to make money.
After playing in numerous
outfits, Kadlecik is pleased with
his current band, as it lets him
explore all the original music hes
created over the last two and a
half decades while still remaining
true to the many influences he
has picked up. The bands eager-
ness to rediscover material and
its onstage energy help make
each show an enjoyable time for
both Kadlecik and the fans.
Im just trying to construct a
coherent set that flows a certain
way, he said. I look at it as
getting a balanced meal I dont
just want to slow dance the
whole night. I also dont just
want to play Grateful Dead music
all night. In fact, I play very little
Grateful Dead music. I do draw
pretty generously from the Jerry
Garcia Band cover repertoire,
which is mostly old-school soul
and R&B Those are just great
vehicles for people to jam on.
While the Garcia influence is
unavoidable when listening to his
music, Kadlecik is trying to be
himself onstage and isnt too
keen on hearing phrases like
Hes trying to be Jerry, or Hes
the new Jerry.
People are going to hear what
they want to hear, he said. So
much of listening is a connect the
dots game for the listener. Garcia
was a huge influence for me, but
people latch onto different
things.
Aside from his gig with Fur-
thur and his own band, Kadlecik
has sat in with numerous bands
over the years, including this past
April when he joined NEPAs
favorite Dead tribute band, Jam
Stampede, at the Gramercy Ball-
room in New York City after a
Furthur show at the Beacon
Theater.
Ive played with Tommy
(Circosta), Klyph (Black) and
Dave Diamond over the years
when they were in the Zen Trick-
sters and I was in Uncle Johns
Band, he explained. We actual-
ly talked to Tommy about playing
guitar in Dark Star Orchestra, but
at the time he had just broken his
arm and was up to his ears in
taking over his fathers business
after he passed away. The short
of the answer is it was a lot of
fun.
And what about Scrantons
own Mike Mizwinski, who Ka-
dlecik shared lead guitar duty
with at the Gramercy?
Were all storytellers. Were
not like competing gymnasts
trying to figure out who gets the
gold, he said. We all have our
own unique style. We all try to
encourage each others storytell-
ing. Mike really gets that. I really
enjoyed playing with him.
As far as his show at the Jazz
Cafe, Kadlecik promises a night
full of the music which has
helped him reach the level hes at
today, with a kind gesture to-
wards one of the more popular
concert-going groups: the danc-
ers.
Its going to be a classic kind
of American jam, he said. It
will have a lot of different
styles. W
John Kadlecik, known for playing in Dark Star Orchestra, will perform with the John
K Band at the River Street Jazz Cafe on Oct. 20.

Browne returns to NEPA
Rock & Roll and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Jackson Browne will perform at the F.M. Kirby
Center (71 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre) on Thursday, October 18 at 8 p.m. Browne will be joined by
special guest Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek and The Decemberists.
Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music and has

His debut album came out on David Geffens Asylum Records in 1972. Since then, Browne has released
thirteen studio albums and three collections of live performances.

Progressive rock can be a
tricky nut to crack, given the
genres history of wild musical
mood swings and often tuneless
self-indulgence. With prog, there
seems to be little middle ground
you either love it or hate it.
On Relic of the Modern
World, Seattles Presto Ballet
adds a contemporary spin to
classic 1970s-themed prog-rock,
adding a thick wall of guitars and
saccharine-sweetened, melodic
vocal harmonies to the labyrinths
of blustering organ runs and
skewed time signatures.
Formed by an unlikely prog
advocate in thrash innovator and
Metal Church guitarist/songwrit-
er Kurdt Vanderhoof, Presto
Ballet is now five albums deep
into their prog revival on this
disc, adding fresh blood in drum-
mer Chris Gorczyca and vocalist
Chuck Campbell. The band is
cultivating a harder, less avant-
garde sound that could re-invig-
orate the somewhat maligned,
dust-covered genre.
Never crossing the boundaries
into full-blown progressive metal
a la Dream Theater or Meshug-
gah, Presto Ballets early Genesis
and Yes roots are simply nailed
firmly to a bed of dynamic riffs
and pounding drums.
Watching The Radio is
downright catchy, with rhythmic
shifts flying by like rays of light.
Vanderhoofs Tony Iommi-in-
spired single-note chugging and
Chuck Campbells tasteful vocal
soar signals that this isnt typical
by-the-numbers prog noodling.
Broken Toys is similarly driv-
ing with airtight drum fills and a
dreamscape of vocal ambiance.
The knockout punch, though, is
the 19-minute title track where
each musician shows off their
chops in the most frenzied dis-
play of musical artwork this side
of 2112.
This album rips preconcep-
tions of what progressive rock
should be, colored with shades of
everything from arena rock to
pop whim. If youre up for an
adventurous education in en-
semble musicianship, check out
this band.

One of the most heartening pop
tends of the last year is the emer-
gence of a new wave of falsetto-
wielding soul men, more subtle than
slick, who resist the urge to tidy up
their unpolished electro arrangements
and make music all the more effec-
tively human as a result.
Going straight to the head of the
class that also includes Frank Ocean
and the Weeknd is dirty-minded-love
man Miguel last name, Pimentel
who comes into his own on his self-
assured second album, Kaleidoscope
Dream.
The mixed-race Southern Cali-
fornia songwriter, who has penned
tunes for Usher, Asher Roth, and
Musiq Soulchild, allows all sorts of
elements to course through his music,
whether hes pondering big questions
in Candles in the Sun or calculat-
ing How Many Drinks will be re-
quired to attain his goal for the eve-
ning. Dont Look Back uses the
Zombies Time of the Season as a
starting point, and Do You ... and
Arch and Point point to a Prince-ly
obsession.
As does the spare, strummed P- Is
Mine, which presents itself as an
accidental, off-the-cuff throwaway
and allows the singer to expose his
jealous heart and confront his gravest
fear: I dont want to believe anyone
is just like me.
No worries, Miguel: On Kaleido-
scope Dream, theres never a ques-
tion that youre one of a kind.

Miguel comes
into his own
with 'Dream'
Contending with Lupe Fiasco is no
easy task.
On his last album, Lasers, the
cerebral rapper played fair-and-bal-
anced by dissing Glenn Beck and
Barack Obama while crafting an al-
ternate ending to American slavery
with stunning strangeness. Each al-
bum before Lasers had trouble in
mind lyrical or musical, drifting as
Fiasco does into vampy, operatic
prog-hop on occasion.
Thats Fiascos calling card: no
single answer, no simple twist.
To call his work heady and provoc-
ative is an understatement.
With zero connection to 2006s
debut, Food & Liquor (save for his
usual cluster of wise rhymes), Fiasco
goes about borrowing from hip-hops
bible, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooths
They Reminisce Over You
(T.R.O.Y.), for his incendiary
Around My Way (Freedom Aint
Free).
He connects Afghan civil strife
with child rape so stirringly on the
grippingly rhythmic Lamborghini
Angels that its more of a graduate
thesis than a rap attack.
On Audubon Ballroom, the
ghosts of Malcolm X, James Bald-
win, and Langston Hughes are viv-
idly alive in the ferocious Fiasco as
he cries out: I rap black history /
you can only see my past if you fast
/ forward.
His music may drift and be wifty,
but as a rapper, Lupe Fiasco is snip-
er-sharp.

This weekend, West Scranton
may look a bit like a classic
horror movie, with zombies
running down Main Avenue.
Passersby shouldnt worry,
however, as these zombies will
be hunting for a first-place
finish instead of brains.
The West Scranton Hyde Park
Neighborhood Watch is spon-
soring the West Side Zombie
Escape Route, a 5K run/walk on
Saturday, Oct. 20, in Allen Park
(corner of Main Avenue and
Price Street, Scranton).
Admission if $25 for those
who pre-register or $30 on
Saturday, and participants can
enter as survivors, zombies, or
traditional runners.
They can wear costumes
other than a zombie if they want
to, said Neighborhood Watch
President Karin Foster, who
organized the 5K.
Foster said the Neighborhood
Watch had been looking for
another fundraiser, and the idea
for the run came out of a brain-
storming session.
A group of us were working
in the (Hyde Park Community
Garden), and we were thinking,
what can we do for another
fundraiser? It was right after the
Dirty Girl (Mud Run) event, and
we had some members that did
that, and one silly idea after
another came out, she said.
I happened to see examples
of zombie runs on the Internet
and I thought, with Halloween
coming, it would be a fun al-
ternative to the traditional run. I
ran it by Karin and here we are,
said Hyde Park Community
Garden Chairman Tom Borth-
wick. People are excited. Its a
novelty, and its a neighborhood
affair. People are all about sup-
porting West Side.
Some in the area are already
somewhat familiar with a Zom-
bie 5K, having participated in
the one held in Taylor during
Infect Scranton in September.
While both runs are zombie
themed, the West Side Zombie
Escape Route is unique in that it
is not an obstacle course but
rather a traditional run around
West Scranton.
The logistics of a regular 5K
make more sense for us. On top
of that, they have their brand
and we have ours, said Borth-
wick.
And the Neighborhood
Watchs brand seems to be ap-
pealing to many in the area.
Foster said a number of runners
have already registered and
many have called to inquire
about the race.
This early excitement is at
least partially due to the work of
TwentyFiveEight Productions,
who produced a commercial
advertising the event after
Borthwick and Foster ap-
proached Mark Dennebaum,
co-owner of TwentyFiveEight
Productions.
Mark is a West Sider and a
really talented filmmaker. Hes
got a beautiful movie studio in
town and he loves supporting
this area. In zombie parlance,
thats a no-brainer, said Borth-
wick.
Dennebaum was just as excit-
ed to be working on the project
as Borthwick and Foster were to
have him.
Its just cool. Everything
these guys are doing is just cool,
and just to be a part of it is an
honor, said Dennebaum. I
think the most important thing
about this is that it brings com-
munity and commerce together.
Foster said a number of other
area businesses have also gotten
involved, either by donating
food and drinks to the runners
or by participating in the side-
walk sale or open house that
will be held the day. The Lacka-
wanna Historical Society has
also gotten involved, and will be
conducting a Places of Worship
tour beginning at the Church of
Christ (137 S. Main Ave., Scran-
ton) at noon.
The outpouring of support is
making the Neighborhood
Watch optimistic about the
future of the event as they hope
to make the run a yearly tradi-
tion.
Our goal next year is to have
it a little bit closer to Halloween
and have, perhaps, a parade
afterwards and costume compe-
tition with it, said Foster.

movie review
Well before its release, Argo
had garnered fabulous word of
mouth. I suspect thats partly
because it looks Oscar-worthy. It
has the period details down pat
and captures the unease of a
historically tumultuous time. A
voiceover from Jimmy Carter, a
man with a Nobel Peace Prize
and bottomless goodwill, certain-
ly helps.
Theres also the feel-good
element. Director Ben Affleck
man, thats a weird phrase to type
has revived his career after
years of making unwatchable
flops as a leading man. Argo,
Afflecks third directorial effort,
is entertaining and well con-
structed. Its not a great movie. It
is, however, a step toward some-
thing great.
Argo examines a sidebar to
the 1979-81 hostage crisis at the
U.S. embassy in Tehran. Six
colleagues escaped the building
and found sanctuary in the home
of Canadas ambassador to Iran
(Victor Garber). The covert res-
cue mission was up to CIA agent
Tony Mendez (Affleck), who
posed as a Canadian producer for
a bogus science fiction movie
considering filming in Iran. The
six embassy employees served as
his film crew so that everyone
could fly home together.
Or at least that was the idea.
In the movies version of
events, Mendez teams up with a
Hollywood-based CIA freelancer,
real-life make-up artist John
Chambers (John Goodman), and
a veteran producer (Alan Arkin)
to form a production company,
find a suitable script, and pro-
mote the project. Everything had
to be done quickly because the
Iranians were close to discov-
ering that the embassy was short
six Americans.
Argo, the name of the movie
that drove this elaborate con, is
divided into two parts: a frothy
Hollywood satire (i.e., the whole
movie industry is built on bull-
shit) and a taut thriller. Both parts
are fun, but Affleck doesnt
weave the two together.
When Mendez heads west, the
foreboding diminishes as Arkin
and Goodmans characters focus
on selling the greatest lie ever
told. When Mendez travels to
Iran, Affleck and writer Chris
Terrio have to introduce the
audience to our hero. We dont
know much about Mendez (the
films weakest character), other
than hes an estranged dad with a
shabby apartment littered with
takeout wrappers.
The last 40 minutes define
Argo. We see Mendez in his
element. Plans unravel. That
chunk is an inspiring, tension-
packed piece of filmmaking that
highlights Afflecks skill as a
director: he can move a movie
without resorting to explosions
or gunplay. And he gets terrific
performances from Goodman,
Arkin, and Bryan Cranston as
Mendezs agency colleague.
Affleck needs to maintain that
momentum for an entire movie
and learn to give his movies
finales that dont resemble com-
mercials for Christmas cards.
(The Town had the same prob-
lem.) I fear people praise Affleck
because of his sketchy past as a
leading man, like hes a former
juvenile delinquent who passed
the bar exam.
This kind of turnaround isnt
revolutionary. Michelle Williams
went from Dawsons Creek to
multiple Oscar nominations. Ron
Howard became one of Holly-
woods most accomplished, suc-
cessful directors after years as a
sitcom star. Woody Allens fame
began in stand-up comedy. Those
talents needed time to mature. So
does Affleck, who as a director is
getting closer to justifying the
hype.

In Night Watch by Linda
Fairstein, series protagonist
Alexandra Cooper makes her
heroic return this time, a
little weary, but none the worse
for wear.
The novel follows Alexandra,
a New York City police officer
who spends much of her life
advocating for victims of sexual
and domestic crimes. But, after
bearing witness to some of the
most heinous acts of violence
time and time again, Alexandra,
after some hesitation, leaves the
city that never sleeps.
She departs for France a
place of romance to take a
break from the horrors observed
in her professional life. The only
problem is, no matter where she
goes trouble always follows.
In France, her lover, Luc Rou-
get, a renowned restaurateur,
joins Alexandra. While Luc is
tending to the unveiling of his
newest restaurant, Alexandra
obtains the relaxation she so
desperately needs. Unfortunately
for her, only two days into her
romantic vacation, her days of
rest and relaxation come to a
halt.
The town is buzzing with
news of a young womans body
being found in the village where
Alexandra is vacationing. At
first, the death is speculated to
be the result of suicide or simple
accident. However, Alexandras
instincts tell another story,
prompting her to implore fur-
ther. She soon realizes that her
intuition never falters the
woman was murdered.
Immediately into her investi-
gation, she discovers something
too personal. A particular piece
of evidence found on the wom-
ans body points to Luc. Alex-
andras feelings for Luc begin to
grow from passionate to suspi-
cious. Meanwhile, back in New
York City, a series of crimes
have left Alexandras colleagues
puzzled. Her department re-
quests that she return home
posthaste.
The events that shortly unfold,
though seemingly unconnected,
converge at the end of the novel.
While readers can expect a car-
ry-over of certain thematic ele-
ments, including Alexandras
complicated relationships, the
conclusion will surprise you.
Throughout the story, readers
trust Alexandra an aspect that
may have to do with Fairsteins
vast knowledge as a former
prosecutor within the sex crimes
unit in New York City. Fair-
steins expertise lends itself to
the series greatly, not only re-
garding crime, but also locale.
For a series that has lasted
more than 15 years, Fairstein is
certainly doing many things
right. Her attention to detail in
the novel is commendable, espe-
cially her description of loca-
tions. Fairstein has done a great
deal of research regarding Alex-
andras haunts throughout New
York City, and this in turn,
makes the novel come alive.
Readers complete the book
embracing not only the un-
forgettable characters, but also
the vivid locations.

Wyoming Valley Motorcycle Club member Dennis
Skiro, of Hudson, with Mikey Teutul of Orange
County Choppers in Montgomery, N.Y. in April 2012.
It seems the Toxic Twins are
back and as strong as ever.
The coincidence is that the
latest issue to drive them apart
Steven Tylers involvement
on American Idol may
have been what brought them
back together.
I didnt have anything to
give Steven as a present be-
cause Ive already given him
everything
that I could
think of that I
know he
likes, Aero-
smith guita-
rist Joe Perry
told me re-
garding his
cameo on last
season of
Idol. He
played Hap-
py Birthday
on guitar for
the 64-year-
old Tyler.
Thats the
kind of thing
you give your
brother.
Tyler con-
firmed to
Perry that he
had no idea
his fellow
bad boy from
Boston
would be showing up on stage
that night.
What do you give a guy
thats got everything? asked
Tyler. It was quite the mo-
ment, man. It was beautiful. It
kind of took all the bad vibes
and the whole business that
was going on at the time and
made it be OK.
Perhaps it also sheds a little
more light on how the tumul-
tuous duo was able to link up
with their other bandmates to
release Aerosmiths first studio
LP in eight years on November
6 and extend its current
Global Warming Tour
through the fall.
This is the first record that
I can think of in a long, long
time where everybody is really
excited about it in the band,
Perry noted. He has no prob-
lem referring to Music from
Another Dimension as Aero-
smiths best yet. Id say were
our own biggest fans so were
also our own biggest critics.
Seems not too much has
changed from those crazy days
of touring in the 70s and
80s but some things are
different.
There are some substances
that arent back there that used
to be, said Tyler in a more
matter-of-fact than joking
manner about the scene at
the show these days. Its just
so crazy. Everybody wants the
backstage ticket. Its pretty
cool.
And for the first time, Ste-
ven Tyler actually came across
understated. W

Radio Show weeknights from

Silent spirit
The roaring twenties are back in style again as students in the Kings College professional writing
program, in collaboration with the Luzerne County Historical Society, plan to host a screening of
two silent films made in the Wilkes-Barre area, Flesh and Spirit and Her Fractured Voice, on
Friday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. in Burke Auditorium on the Kings Campus.
Guests are encouraged to arrive in 1920s attire for a costume contest. Admission is free, and com-
plimentary refreshments from the era will be served during the evening. Live musical accompani-
ment for the films will be provided by Dos Noisemakers.
Wilkes-Barre has a colorful and diverse history with many people taking great pride in its colonial
and industrial past, said Tony Brooks, director of the Luzerne County Historical Society.
Few people also know that Wilkes-Barre had a vibrant film industry. Between Lyman Howes
traveling exhibitions of high-class moving pictures to the United States Motion Picture Corpora-
tions Black Diamond Comedies, Wilkes-Barre earned its place in the early years of the silent
movie craze.

The Regal Room (216 Lackawan-

Disney with a Twist
The Joan Harris Centre built their 31st annual Halloween show, "Pumpkin Twist," around a fairy
tale including characters representing the good, bad, and bizarre. Dancers take to the stage Oct. 20
at noon and 4 p.m. and Oct. 21 at 2 p.m. at E.L. Meyers High School in Wilkes-Barre.
Divided into three acts, the show features younger dancers in a special set that includes songs
from classic Disney movies such as "Aladdin" and "Pinocchio." To keep a real balance to the per-
formance, and to add a little "trick" to what is mostly treat, the production will include a few
spookier works like "Firestarter" and "Disturbia."
Tickets are $10 in advance and children under 5 are free. For more information, call 570.287.7977
or visit joanharrisdancers.com.

It was announced that the Eisner Award-
winning American Vampire, kicked
off in 2010 by horror writer Stephen
King and creator Scott Snyder in 2010,
would be taking a break after issue
#34 while Snyder works on some new
projects, including The Wake for
Vertigo, and will most likely return in
a new time period. Writer/artist Jeff
Lemires Sweet Tooth is coming to a
more permanent close with the double-
sized issue #40, the creator said, while
the start of the new anthology series
O
ver 100,000 geeks piled
into the Javits Center for the
seventh annual NewYork
Comic Con last weekend,
Oct. 11-14, and The Weekender
was among the throng of eager fans
collecting autographs, testing new video
games, sorting through longboxes,
marveling at amazing costumes, and
attending celebrity panels at the sold
Ghosts intrigued us with pencils by
the late Joe Kubert, the last work before
his death two months ago.
Adaptations of The Girl with
the Dragon Tattoo and Quentin
Tarantinos new movie Django
Unchained were featured, the latter
being signicant because it will serve
as a directors cut of sorts by including
scenes that did not make it into the
highly anticipated lm due out Dec.
25. The cover of Neil Gaimans
Sandman prequel, drawn by J.H.
Williams III, was shown, but nothing
could yet be revealed about its plot.
Next, we watched fans ail their
arms and legs in the air as they tested
Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth,
a game for the Xbox 360 and the yet-to-
be-released Nintendo Wii U that uses
motion capture technology to let you
control Marvel Comics superheroes like
the Hulk, Thor, and Iron Man in a one-
on-one ghting game. The Wii U was
also available to test out, particularly
ZombieU, a rst-person shooter
where you shoot you guessed it
hoards of esh-eating ghouls with that
hefty but nifty GamePad controller.
After getting a limited edition
sketchbook signed by Hellboy creator
Mike Mignola, we waited over two
hours to meet the lovely Carrie Fisher,
the actress who put metal bikinis into
fashion when she played the iconic
Princess Leia Organa in the original
Star Wars trilogy. She was all smiles
as she signed posters and memorabilia
alongside stars like Adam West,
Christopher Lloyd, Sean Astin, and
Lou Ferrigno, but she was the only one

After making a quick scan of the main
oor, which included everything from
life-sized LEGO sculptures of Star
Wars and Lord of the Rings
characters to mustache salesmen and
walls of branded t-shirts, we sat in on

covered the mature imprints plans for
titles like Fables and Hellblazer

covered in glitter, playfully wiping some
on one bashful fans face. Our Empire
Strikes Back poster is that much
brighter now thanks to her highness.
Finally, we capped the night with the
Legendary Comics panel with prolic
director Guillermo del Toro, who
delivered uproarious answers to fans
questions as he gushed about Pacic
Rim, his epic robots-versus-monsters
movie to be released in 3-D July 12
that will also be receiving a prequel in
comic form by its screenwriter, Travis
Beacham. The Nerdist host Chris
Hardwick moderated and was just as
entertained by del Toros frank answers,
delivered in his thick Mexican accent, as
the audience was.
Everyone ate up the exclusive sneak
peek at his notebooks and original
designs, along with the teaser that
premiered at San Diego Comic-Con
months ago but still managed to re
everyone up. The Pans Labyrinth
director bonded with fans over his
lifelong love for classic city-smashing
creatures and his vision for the new
robotic heroes of Pacic Rim, who
will be manned by pilots that will
actually feel their machines pain in
battle.
Oct. 13
Walking inside was tough with The
Walking Dead shambling about when
we arrived to promote the Season 3
premiere of the hit TV show on AMC
on Oct. 14, a replica of the RV Dale
Horvath (played by Jeffrey DeMunn)
drove in Seasons 1 and 2 was parked
outside the Javits Center, complete with
an actor in Dales trademark bucket
hat keeping watch on the roof while
zombies swarmed the crowd.
Maneuvering around the building may
have been more difcult, however, as
the busiest day of the convention began.
Before Preacher and The Boys
creator/writer Garth Ennis revealed
at his panel later that day that he would
be writing and directing Avatar Press
ultraviolent Crossed live-action
webisodes and feature lm adaptation,
we met Ennis at the Avatar booth to
get some Punisher and Stitched
comics signed, followed by a trip to
artist alley to talk to longtime Uncanny
X-Men writer Chris Claremont.
The friendly co-creator of many iconic
X-characters chatted us up about his
favorite work and what it was like to
be behind-the-scenes of the X-Men
lms, which he generally enjoyed, while
signing a stack of his groundbreaking
issues.
Speaking of which, Marvels merry
mutants were brought up quite a bit
at The Avengers panel, as they
will be joining forces with Earths
Mightiest Heroes following the end of
the Avengers vs. X-Men crossover
event that started earlier this year.
Marvel editor in chief Axel Alonso and
the writers assured fans that Uncanny
Avengers, as well as the entire
Marvel NOW! relaunch of many of
the companys agship titles, was not a
reboot or simply a renumbering of the
books in order to sell more #1 issues,
but a clean beginning for new and old
readers alike to jump on and get back
into the ongoing universe of characters
and stories.
Naturally moderated by Hardwick of
Talking Dead, The Walking Dead
panel was probably the biggest event
of the day, quickly lling the main
theater with hundreds more watching
a simulcast in the room next door.
Members of the main cast were joined
by producer executive producer Gale
Anne Hurdand and comic creator/
writer Robert Kirkman, letting fans
preview the fast-paced opening episode
of Season 3 before taking questions
and sharing stories from the set. The
young Chandler Riggs delved into his
character Carls transformation from
a naive little kid to a dark boy soldier,
and fan-favorite Norman Reedus (aka
Daryl Dixon) related a joke between
him and star Andrew Lincoln, who
plays the survivors groups leader, Rick
Grimes he whispers, I love you, to
him regularly, which always receives a
F--k you, in return.
Michael Rooker, whose villainous,
racist character disappeared in Season 1,
returns this season, but he was tight-
lipped about Merle Dixons comeback.
New villain The Governor, played by
David Morrissey, was also vague about
just how evil hed be, though the other
new cast member, Danai Gurira, who
is the katana-wielding Michonne, talked
about what she went through to prepare
for her role as resident badass.
Unfortunately, listening to this means we
didnt catch Marvels big announcement
at its television panel that they would
be answering fans pleas by bringing
back Agent Phil Coulson for the new
S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show. Killed off in
The Avengers lm this summer, the
secret agent appeared in several other
Marvel lms leading up to the team
movie and grew a fanbase so large that
they wrote his character into the comics,
so it makes sense why director Joss
Whedon, who is helming the show,
would bring him back. The real surprise,
however, was when Gregg showed up to
the panel unexpectedly to join in the fan
fervor, though we still dont know if this
means he will return in lm as well.
By comparison, Marvels Cup o Joe
panel, named after chief creative ofcer
Joe Quesada, wasnt nearly as exciting,
but the witty Quesada, Alonso, and other
big players in the House of Ideas did
have fun while announcing details of
the new Guardians of the Galaxy
and Nova comic relaunches, which
coincide with the companys plans
for a Guardians lm in 2014. While
usually seen as part of Marvels cosmic
universe that rarely interacts with the
main characters, they explained that this
would no longer be the case and things
would be much more integrated. Afresh,
darker Spider-Man, who they conrmed
is not Peter Parker and has different
powers, will also be introduced in the
new comic Superior Spider-Man in
2013.
We did get to see the premiere of the
trailer for the full-length animated lm
Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United,
set for release on home video April 23,
2013, though this was no Coulson
lives! moment. Few things are,
however, but then again, theres always
next year. W

You cant teach an old dog new
tricks, but you can teach an aging
geek a few things.
Ive attended plenty of conven-
tions over the years, but New
York Comic Con on Oct. 11-14 at
the Javits Center in NYC was my
first experience with one of that
scale. Ive heard horror stories
about unending lines and over-
blown marketing at San Diego
Comic-Con, so when I read that
this one was sold out, I was seri-
ously doubting whether or not Id
have a good time despite being
surrounded by more than a few
of my favorite things. While I
can say that I did overall, there
were some downsides and experi-
ences worth noting.
As I did last year with the
much more manageable Wizard
World Philadelphia, Im listing
the top five lessons I learned at
NYCC:
5. Everything is more expen-
sive in New York, though you
can spend wisely.
Usually I get some great deals
at cons, but this time was a nota-
ble exception. Im a fanboy who
has learned to live within my
means, so my wallet was scream-
ing when I even glanced at some
of the action figures and memor-
abilia being sold on the floor.
Dont even get me started on the
guests I thought Carrie Fisher,
better known as Princess Leia,
charging $60 for an autograph
was a bit much, but then I saw
fellow Star Wars album Ian
McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine)
charging $125. The Dark Side
truly is powerful.
Well-known and respected
comic creators, however, charged
little or nothing for their au-
tographs, so its really about
getting your priorities straight.
Splurge here and there, but dont
just buy things you can probably
find back home for less. 4. My
Show Planner is great, but a
DeLorean would be better.
You can choose exactly what
activities youd like to attend on
the cons website, then print out
your agenda for the day and be
on your way except that most
of these events occur at the same
time. Theres actually too much
to do at NYCC, so if you plan to
walk the floor and explore, pre-
pare to miss that limited au-
tograph session. This brings me
to
3. You will not meet everyone
you thought you would.
With so many great names on
the bill, I didnt know who I
should go after first. That was
my first mistake. A preliminary
scan of the con website gives you
the impression that all of these
celebs will just be sitting at a row
of tables for your convenience, as
is the case for smaller cons, but
instead theyre spread out all over
in rooms, at booths on the main
floor, and down more corridors
and hallways than the Death Star.
Most of those pilots blew up for
a reason. Stay on target and pick
your top five oh, how meta.
2. Fans first unless
theyre not shelling out cash.
I must emphasize that most
employees were kind, courteous,
and helpful. A bad apple can
spoil the bunch, though.
The con promised a limited
amount of free autograph tickets
Saturday morning to fans of The
Walking Dead, Robot Chick-
en, and The Ventures Bros.
cast and crew, but they refused to
tell people specifically how limit-
ed in an attempt to get people to
show up bright and early to
spend their cash. While they
were told to line-up at 7 a.m.,
some camped outside in the cold
all night for a ticket. My friend
showed up around 5:30 a.m. and
there was already a healthy line.
After waiting several more
hours, she noticed that they were
all in the same line as opposed to
being separated. When the time
finally came, they only gave
away 50 of each, knowing how
crowded the weekend would be
well in advance.
By not separating the lines,
those who missed their opportu-
nity to get what they came for
simply took any ticket they could
get, some even scalping them
online. Rather than spend her
money on other things, my friend
went home frustrated and tired.
Great plan, guys are you sure
youve done this before?
Despite advertising a fans
first attitude, several employees
made it their jobs to take away
from that experience, and one
cost me an autograph from one
of my favorite directors, Guiller-
mo del Toro. After his panel, he
was more than happy to start
grabbing fans merchandise and
sign it, but con employees did
their best to block what could
have been quick and easy scrib-
bles on paper.
After taking as much as he
could backstage to sign and
sending it back out, he came out
of the exit a few minutes later to
be greeted quietly and respect-
fully by myself and three others.
As he reached for our things,
another employee leapt in the
way as if we were a screaming
mob and refused to let us, or
him, interact. Let the fans have
their cake and eat it too, especial-
ly when the baker is offering the
cake of his own volition.
1. A line cant keep a good
fan down.
It sounds like Im doing a lot
of whining here, but the rest of
the con was truly great, and thats
mainly because of how cool (or
uncool) the nerd herd is. You
might be waiting hours for one
autograph or panel, so make the
most of it by striking up a con-
versation with the fan next to
you. I met a guy this weekend
who waited over two hours to get
an autograph for his friend who
couldnt make it and planned to
wait longer for another those
are the caliber of people youll
meet.
A rare breed? Maybe. Good
thing were easy to spot in those
cosplay tights.

Im sure everyone remem-
bers the major incident that
landed Philadelphia Eagles
quarterback Michael Vick in
jail for 18 months. Animal
cruelty is not a thing to take
lightly, and when Vick was
convicted of it, they tried to
make an example out of
him.
In 2007, Vick was charged
by federal authorities with
felony charges of operating
an illegal dog fighting ring
at his house. Vick was ac-
cused of financing the oper-
ation, directly participating
in dog fights as well as exe-
cutions and personally hand-
ling money related to gam-
bling. Vicks past is a horrif-
ic one that many deem un-
forgivable. But with the past
behind him, it seems like he
is on the right track to at
least trying to make amends
for what he did.
Throughout my time in
prison, I told myself that I
wanted to be part of the
solution, not the problem,
Vick told ABC News. Vick
is a messenger for the Hu-
mane Society of the United
States (HSUS) anti-dog
fighting campaign and is
also involved with the Pets
for Life program to end
animal cruelty. Vick en-
dorsed an anti-animal cruelty
legislation that would make
both observing and enabling
a minor to watch animal
fighting events criminal
offenses.
This past Thursday, Vick
released a statement con-
firming that he has a new
dog. In the statement re-
leased by his publicist, Vick
said the following: I under-
stand the strong emotions by
some people about our fam-
ilys decision to care for a
pet. As a father, it is impor-
tant to make sure my chil-
dren develop a healthy rela-
tionship with animals.
While Vicks statement
may be somewhat laughable,
at least he is trying to break
the cycle and commit to
making a positive change.
Despite the controversy over
whether or not he should be
allowed to own a dog after
what he did, Vick promises
that his new dog will be well
cared for and loved and will
continue to honor his com-
mitment to animal welfare.
Rachel Querry, Director of
Communications for the
HSUS, said the following on
the issue: We are paying
attention to this, but its not
a major animal welfare is-
sue. Instead, when it comes
to the protection of dogs, we
are focusing on further
strengthening the legal
framework against dog fight-
ing, building community-
based programs that instill
respect for animals and deter
young people from going
down the dead-end road of
dog fighting, promoting
adoption, and cracking down
on puppy mills Those are
the urgent battles that need
the full attention of animal
advocates.
Most of us can probably
agree that Vick should not
be allowed to own another
dog after what he did and
will have a hard time forget-
ting his past actions. Howev-
er, some might also question
if it should be held over his
head for the rest of his life
and that forgiveness might
just be the answer.

Friday night at the Hardware
Bar, cheap drinks were flying,
clothes were scant, and the
place was jumping. I was out
for a girls night and fresh off
of a difficult break up. I was
slamming drink after drink
until I could no longer feel the
lingering pain of my lost love.
I, wearing my liquor suit of
armor, stumbled up to a de-
lightful looking boy and start-
ed dancing. Eventually, things
escalated and although he
spent the night calling me
Michelle, I didnt mind. He
was cute, and I was drunk.
He came back to my place
for an after party. I awoke the
next morning a little sketchy
on what had happened that
night. I saw him sleeping
there, and I got up to stumble
to the bathroom for the bottle
of Tylenol.
When I looked in the mirror,
my neck had come down with
a grotesque case of leprosy. I
cringed and then looked to my
right. In front of the toilet,
there was a puddle on the floor
and the lid was up. Irritated, I
cleaned up the mess, put down
the lid, cursed a bit and got
back to bed with my pills and
water in hand.
He was now awake.
Hey Michelle, can you take
me home?
I corrected him that my
name isnt Michelle. Then, at
that moment, I realized I didnt
have the slightest clue what his
name was either. It seemed
rude to ask at this point, so I
just cut my losses and took
him home.
Upon arrival, he leaned over
as if he was going to kiss me.
Instead, he gave me a high five
and said, Michelle, you are
awesome.
I drove home, climbed the
stairs to my apartment, and
dove face first into the heaven
of my bed. This time, however,
it is not so heavenly. It is wet.
Very wet.
I lifted the blankets and
there it was: he had peed the
bed. Not just a trickle, an
ocean of urine. It soaked
through all of my sheets and
my mattress.
I called my friend Emily, and
she asked how my night was. I
asked her who the guy was.
Paul, I think, she replied.
So Paul-I-Think, if you ever
read this, thanks.
I am still not Michelle.

Resident Evil 6 (PS3,
XBOX 360, PC), the latest
game in Capcoms survival
horror series, is here with a new
look and feel that returning fans
may not be ready for. RE6
feels and plays more like an
action game than survival hor-
ror, replacing terrifying atmo-
spheric gameplay with high
speed action sequences on
speeding trains and motorcy-
cles.
The story is separated into
three primary campaigns, which
all must be played to get a full
understanding of the entire
story. Fans will be happy to see
that series hero Leon Kennedy
is back, accompanied by Helena
Harper, who lets him know of a
new contagion raising the dead
around the world.
Fans of Resident Evil 4 will
feel at home with this campaign,
and its a good starting point for
newcomers. The gameplay
throws you into high pressure
action situations with varied
enemies who all represent their
own challenge in defeating.
Returning from Resident
Evil 5 is Chris Redfield, who
leads a team of BSAA (Bio-
terrorism Security Assessment
Alliance) soldiers into battle.
Chriss campaign is action
packed with tanks, automatic
weapons, and a cover-based
shooting system.
Finally we have Jake Muller,
the son of Albert Wesker, and
Sherry Birkin who is now all
grown up after Resident Evil
2. Jakes campaign is for fans
of Resident Evils fighting
and wrestling moves, as he is a
master of melee combat.
All three campaigns have
their own unique styles of ga-
meplay with intersecting story
lines as you run into characters
in each campaign to provide
clues about whats really going
on. It captures the new and old
feel of Resident Evil, but it
feels empty with no vision and
heart.
Sadly, the survival-horror tone
is far gone in RE6, lacking the
tension that past games have
had. The monsters and zombies
arrive in all different types of
shapes and sizes but none of
them inspire the panic and ten-
sion that I felt in previous Resi-
dent Evil games.
The basic control layout is the
same as RE5, but at times the
camera can become awkward,
being so close to you that it cuts
off your peripheral vision. I also
noticed while aiming that there
are issues with blind spots,
which becomes a problem when
zombies swarm around you.
Redfields campaign hardly
feels like a Resident Evil,
leaning heavily on action set
pieces with lots of enemies who
shoot back. This is where the
new cover system comes in,
which feels wonky and doesnt
always agree with the camera,
but it does work. Players can
also now sprint and slide to-
wards enemies, knocking them
down. You can duck under
enemy attacks, jump backwards
falling down, and side-to-side to
avoid attacks. Once you hit the
floor, you can also ready your
weapon and fire away at the
enemy you just dodged.
Newcomer Jakes hand to
hand combat will get you excit-
ed at first, but the moment you
try it youll realize you should
have never put the guns down.
Its awkward and misses more
than it lands.
Resident Evil is clearly
changing direction, but it wants
everything all at once. It wants
to keep the atmospheric horror
tone and pace, the wild west
shootouts, and the blockbuster
action sequences. In its attempt
to be a new action game for all
to enjoy, it becomes a game that
feels unpolished and doesnt
know where it belongs.
There is some good with the
bad, however. Co-op missions
are fun with a friend and now
can be played on split-screen
and system link. Another nice
touch during online co-op is that
the game will automatically find
pairs from the other campaigns
when the story calls for all four
characters to cross paths.
W
'RE6' infected with
crossover genres, gameplay
Leon Kennedy, from Resident Evil 4, returns to
action in the latest installment of the zombie
franchise.
Chris Redfields section of Resident Evil 6 is more
action packed, taking the series in a drastically
different direction than its origins implied.
Its been nearly four weeks
since I challenged Jimmy Fallon
to a game of beer pong, and he
has yet to resolve the proposition.
Could it be that he isnt one of
The Weekenders over 172,000
readers? Impossible! Maybe the
thought of rocking out with his
beer pong balls out and losing to
me is daunting his conscience.
Whatever the case, while hes
eluding the topic: other people
have been quick to hop on the
beer pong challenge train, like
98.5 KRZ morning show host
Rocky Rhodes!
Youre going to have to beat
me first! tweeted KRZs Rocky
after hearing of my public chal-
lenge to Fallon. Ill supply the
table and the cups, he offered.
So I piled bodyguard costumes
from the costume storage room
at the resort I work at into my
car, along with a British guy
named Joel I met working there
who I convinced to play my
bodyguard, and drove back to
NEPA.
Since arguing with my meno-
pausal mother probably would
have put too much stress on me
to win the game of beer pong, I
decided to spend the night before
the big game at the Scranton
Hilton, NEPAs best place to
relax and get treated like royalty.
Im not dressing up as your
bodyguard by myself, cried Joel
as I made him serve me alcohol
on a silver platter in the Hiltons
Jacuzzi. Its 1:30 a.m. I dont
think youll be able to find some-
one else to come with us for 8
a.m., he added.
Thats what you think, I
replied.
We ran to Kildares, Scrantons
best pub, and I asked the bar-
tender if she wanted to be on the
radio at 8 a.m.
Her manager said she could
only do it if he came to make
sure she didnt say anything
stupid on the air.
You can come, but you have
to dress up in a costume as my
bodyguard, I insisted.
He agreed.
The next morning, I arrived at
KRZ with two bodyguards and a
bartender, wearing a shirt that
read I Came To Get My Balls
Wet.
The game was intense, as it
came down to two guys, one
cup...each, before I won!
Sorry, Mom and Dad, that I
called off work to play beer pong
at 8 a.m. As for you, Jimmy
Fallon, you better accept my
challenge before I get more prac-
tice and its harder for you to
win!
XOXO
W
WKRZ radio host Rocky Rhodes, left, threw down the
gauntlet and took Justins beer pong challenge.

challenge continues

LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
You may not be able to speak Canine, but
you can reasonably assume that when your
dog lies down at your feet both of you experi-
ence some degree of comfort and pleasure.
Its just one minor example of the levels of
communication youre capable of. Since the
exotic creature youre trying to commune
with this week is actually human, if com-
pletely unfamiliar in every other way, rest
assured that some mutually beneficial ar-
rangement is not only possible, its likely. Just
keep being sensitive to what you can do to
make those (of all species) around you hap-
py; theyll more than return the favor.
SCORPIO(OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Whether youve pricked your finger
against the shiny spindle of the gold-thread-
producing spinning wheel, the thorny projec-
tions of your own newgrowth, or the jagged
edges of someones broken heart, it hurts.
The source of pain is almost irrelevant; Only
your reaction to it matters. Howdisappoint-
ing if it keeps you fromreaching out into
uncertain places, because some of the most
important treasures youve ever gotten or
will get come fromunknown territories just
like those. You cant make yourself safe from
the nicks and cuts life dishes out. Those risks
are what make it worth it.
SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
The Monks of NewSkete, N.Y., breed
dogs and train trouble dogs. Their monas-
tery is at least partially supported by these
ventures and their productslike several
outstanding books (including Howto Be
Your Dogs Best Friend). The dogs living
there lead a monastic lifestyle themselves,
getting up early and accompanying their
masters throughout the day. Its a mutually
beneficial arrangement: the dogs get to
spend time with their human pack and the
monks enjoy non-intrusive relief fromtheir
essential solitude and isolation. Its a great
combination that works on so many levels,
including making the monastery money.
Youre so close to creating a similar Win-
Win-Win-Win situation; I hope you can grab
some inspiration fromthis example to push
you over the edge.
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Winter lurks in the wings, waiting to am-
bush nostalgically stubborn summer lovers
with its frigid malevolence. Dont scoff.
Naturally, no one should be surprised by
anything as basically predictable as a season-
al change. Yet, a similarly expected event is
on the verge of catching you off-guard, or at
least woefully underprepared. Whats your
excuse? The looming deadline (of whatever
sort) didnt just suddenly appear. Instead of
laughing at those idiots still wearing shorts
(and freezing their knees off), wrap your
scarf on tight and catch up on preparations
for the winter thats hitting your house.
AQUARIUS(JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Since when did you become such a prank-
ster? Wile E., I should call you. You didnt
always have time for practical jokes. I can
only conclude, that contrary to your master
plan, the lazy loafers you occasionally sur-
round yourself with are rubbing off on you,
instead of you on them. Thats not always a
bad thing. In this case, Imhappy to be the
butt of your cleverly planned tricks. But Im
concerned about some of the other less
savory aspects of your slacker buds, specifi-
cally their rampant flakiness. I see the first
symptoms of unreliability all over you, like a
rash. Maintain your effectiveness. In other
words, keep making time for jokes, but dont
become one.
PISCES(FEB. 19-MARCH20)
Dont fling the ring down the drain acci-
dentally-on-purpose. Although your main
thing seems to be cutting into your Alone
Time and preventing or occluding much-
needed self-reflection, resist throwing it away
entirely. Ah, the demands of a relationship!
The price sometimes seems high, especially
now, when youre craving freedomand men-
tal solitude instead of the sex or intimacy you
thought you wanted a while back. I under-
stand and support your current desire for
quiet contemplation. Just remember how
quickly these moods of yours can change. By
the time you finish breaking up with your
jealous lover, youll probably want him/her
back. Theres got to be a better way to get the
downtime you need. This week, find it.
ARIES(MARCH21-APRIL19)
Friends are just like anything else; there
are certain combinations you simply dont
try. You wouldnt mix paisley and plaid,
olives and caramel, or rawoysters and roller
coasters. People are a different category, its
true. But youre astute enough to knowwhen
bringing two of themtogether might be a
happy combination (Your chocolates in my
peanut butter) and when its simply a
disaster waiting to happen. Dont assume
that everyone that likes you will automatical-
ly like each other. Pay attention to potential
compatibilities or disharmonies this week.
Your friends wont knowto thank you for
doing it, but consider their silence a blessing;
theyd be sure to gripe if you didnt bother.
TAURUS(APRIL20-MAY20)
Yowzers! This week youre due for a
moment of geeky clarity so pure and simple
its straight out of a 60s sitcom. Dont knock
it. Moments like these are rare for you. Put
your usual activities (especially those in-
volving reality-avoidance) on hold to act on
this brief lucidity. Its easier than you think,
sometimes as simple as saying, Gee, Mrs.
Brady, Imsorry I broke your lamp. Ill never
play ball in the house again. If you success-
fully followthe straightforward guidance of
even half of the Partridge-Family-style solu-
tions thatll occur to you this week, you can
finally rid your life of most of the nasty
complications you spend so much time
avoiding. Then you can return next week to
your usual boozing and floozing with a much
lighter heart.
GEMINI (MAY21-JUNE20)
Primarily youve been a victimof your
own bad planning, or total lack thereof. What
do you mean, what do I mean? Some minor
examples: Your baked bean dinner had you
tooting all morning, to the dismay of fellow
commuters and coworkers. And not even
understandable forgetfulness can excuse the
fact that you scheduled dates with your two
favorite people, on the same night. The fact
that your dis-ease is self-inflicted is a good
thing; its therefore in your own power to
affect a cure. Organize yourself, and be
amazed at howhassle-free your future can
be.
CANCER(JUNE21-JULY22)
Here I am, flapping my elbows and cluck-
ing provocatively. You knowwhat Imteas-
ing you about: a regrettable, embarrassing
failure of courage and imagination that has
cost you, to date, 238 minutes of precious
sleep. Almost four hours of your time has
been spent rehashing what you should have
done. Stop the insanity. Knock yourself out if
you have toyou need the sleep. Why?
Because your second chanceyes, a tiny
little windowof opportunityis coming up.
Unless youre well-rested, primed, and ready
to leap enthusiastically and unreservedly
through it, youll miss this one too. And who
knows howmuch sleep that might cost you.
LEO(JULY23-AUG. 22)
Backstage following a college theater
production, I asked the star of the show:
Dont you feel egotistical taking a second
bow? Oh, its not for me, he replied, Its
for them. They feel cheated if I dont give
themenough chances to love me. Its arro-
gant but true; the enthusiastic audience got
way more out of clapping, cheering, and
hollering than Mr. Cool did fromreceiving it.
They wouldve left disappointed and unreq-
uited if hed failed to appear for more ad-
oration. While you dont need to retain the
blas, unruffled calmof my fellowactor, you
do need to followhis example. Give people
more chances to love you. They will.
VIRGO(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Dont be an ass. Youre not exactly in the
doghouse, but your usual alliances are un-
usually busy. Thus the only one left to defend
your good name and stick up for you is the
palm-reading hippy chick you buy your pot
brownies from. As character witnesses go,
shemay not be ideal. But accept her help
anyway; you need it. Dont be so rigid. Do-
ing things the way youre used to isnt an
option this week. Embrace unconventionality
and make the best of an awkward situation.
Its better than floundering in nostalgic mul-
ishness (see line one).
