WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO YOU? BY JIM MOREKIS

jim@connectsavannah.com

THE CITY of Savannah’s online survey requesting public input on the future of the Savannah Civic Center is simply titled, “What’s Important To You?” That’s a great question. Intentionally or not, it sort of sums up where we are as a community right now. With high-rise buildings and various major development projects being approved in and around historic neighborhoods in Savannah — with many more on the drawing board — the need to safeguard and protect local history hasn’t been this pronounced since the 1960s, when so many local landmarks were demolished in the name of progress. Just as the old Union Station, the old DeSoto, and the old Municipal Auditorium were razed for interstate flyovers and inferior big-box buildings like the Civic Center, whole neighborhoods are now threatened in the name of newness. Gentrification is sometimes an overused and misunderstood word. But there is such a thing, and we are seeing it happen now in many areas. What has changed to make this moment in local history so crucial? It’s not just the amount of development money flooding into Savannah since the end of the great recession, though that is certainly a huge driver. Spurred by Savannah’s well-earned, now fully global status as a world-class destination city for tourists, we are finally on the map not only for visitors, but for the developers and investors who seek to capitalize on those visitors. We have seen spring tides of investment roll into Savannah before, but nothing like the volume of high-dollar hotel, residential, and multi-use projects now sprouting like resurrection fern on a live oak after a rainstorm. But I would argue that the biggest difference — the real threat — isn’t necessarily developers themselves. After all, developers are just doing what developers do. The biggest difference might be the changing attitudes of the people moving to this area. As their ranks grow, they increasingly are electing our leaders, who are expected to provide responsible oversight for developers and private sector investment. With more new arrivals moving to town, that means more and more of the local

electorate simply has no personal or institutional memory of a time when downtown Savannah was a place where regular folks lived, worked, and socialized. To many people who just moved here from another state and bought a house in, say, Ardsley Park, the Historic District is just the place where all the hotels are. (And in the case of the many people moving to Pooler and West Chatham, some may never visit downtown Savannah at all, for any reason.) This to me is the key development. Our grassroots are changing as the composition of our population changes. For many newer folks to town, the idea of Savannah’s history is just that — an idea. Not a relatable, everyday reality.

Had it remained, the Municipal Auditorium, demolished to make room for the Civic Center, could probably capably serve the same role as the new Cultural Arts Center.

When history, or more accurately, historical character, becomes just another commoditized data point in a real estate marketing campaign, then it can be disposed of that much more easily. After all — doesn’t everyone love a “new and improved” product? And make no mistake: Savannah is a product now, a commodity to be bought and sold at a profit. Drilling down to the issue of the Civic Center, it’s important to learn how we got where we are. The current Civic Center was built in 1974 as a “modern” replacement for the Municipal Auditorium, built in 1916. Designed by Henrik Wallin — who designed the current Savannah Arts Academy and many other local buildings — the Beaux Arts Municipal Auditorium, demolished in 1971, was orders of magnitude better in quality than what replaced it. But in the late ‘60s, when the current Civic Center was being designed, modernist, multi-use, big-box buildings and massive surface parking lots were all the rage.

Ironically, had the Municipal Auditorium been allowed to remain, it not only would have held up much better at age 102 than the current Civic Center has at age 44, it could still serve a key purpose: The new Cultural Arts Center, going up a block away, might not have been necessary. Even at over a century old, an upgraded Municipal Auditorium could probably serve that role as a mid-size performance venue with classroom and office space. To be fair, even the Municipal Auditorium caused quite an uproar when first built, for its sheer size overlooking Orleans Square and for its transformative effect on the residential neighborhood around it. (Sound familiar?) But it arguably served a much more defensible civic role, and at least nominally hewed to the Oglethorpe Plan in that its entrance opened onto the square. The City’s survey on what to do with the Civic Center is in some ways an example of their mode of cart-before-the-horse thinking. The issue of the Civic Center’s future should have been settled long before the plans for the new Arena were this far along. “What’s important to you?” should’ve been the first question, but instead it’s among the last. As is also their way, City leaders outsourced the decision-making we elected them to perform to an outside consultant, who is administering this survey and gathering public input. All that said, it is a well-constructed, though very simple, survey, and I do urge everyone to weigh in at http://www.savannahga.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1992. The first question is key: “What is most important to you when considering future possibilities for the Civic Center site?” You are asked to rank five answers in order of their importance to you: • Celebrating community diversity • Creating a public space/greenspace/ civic space • Preserving Savannah’s National Landmark Historic District and the Oglethorpe Plan • Promoting economic development and employment opportunities • Promoting arts/culture/ entertainment It’s not a perfect list, as I might rank two or three of these as “One” and everything else further down. But the list is valuable for provoking a range of thought. You have until Oct. 12 to weigh in. We should have had this opportunity years ago. But we’ll have to settle for better-latethan-never. CS

FOR OVER one hundred years, the Girl Scouts have empowered girls across the United States—and it all started right here in Savannah with Juliette Gordon Low. The Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace has kept Low’s spirit alive through their innovative programming at the historic home, and their newest tour is no different. Smart Cookies Tasting Tour takes visitors ages 14 and up on an interactive, afterhours tour through the home, where they learn about women from history who used food as a catalyst for change and taste the food these women made. Connect sat down with Kat White, Joni Smith, and Lisa Junkin Lopez from the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace to learn more about this tour. How did this tour come about? Kat White: In the past we’d had programming for older Girl Scouts where they came for a Victorian supper onsite. We retired that program but felt the need to have something still for older girls. The Victorian supper program was more about eating Southern-style food and talking about Victorian etiquette. We wanted to give them a little about the history but make it more relevant to today, maybe finding lessons from the history that are applicable to today, which I’m not sure Victorian etiquette is [laughs].

The Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace is a staple in Savannah, and exploring the home after hours while eating is a real treat. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE JULIETTE GORDON LOW BIRTHPLACE.

So we developed a food-based tour where they get to come and have food in the house. We focus more on the achievements of women who worked through traditional means of food and cooking to change the world. Another big impetus for this tour is, what’s the first thing most people think of when they think of Girl Scouts? The cookies. We have a love-hate relationship with that [laughs]. Joni Smith: We’re proud of them, but it’s so much more! Kat: Those cookies are funding

empowering girls to grow up to be women of courage, confidence and character. Then we thought, “Okay, so what if we embrace the thing we have this conflicted relationship with, and we look at other stories of women and food and where it’s women in their traditional roles as cooks and caregivers, but they’re using that food to change the world and make it a better place?” Who are some of the women you feature in the tour? Kat: The first one is getting a lot more

“Okay, so what if we embrace the thing we have this conflicted relationship with, and we look at other stories of women and food and where it’s women in their traditional roles as cooks and caregivers, but they’re using that food to change the world and make it a better place?� attention lately. Georgia Gilmore—it wouldn’t be your fault if you hadn’t heard of her. In the Civil Rights movement, we can name Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ralph Abernathy—a lot of men we can name—and Rosa Parks. Lisa Junkin Lopez: Rosa Parks is usually the only woman they can name. Kat: [Gilmore] wasn’t out front making speeches or being the poster woman like Rosa Parks was for the Montgomery bus boycott. She was a cook and got fired from her job at a lunch counter in Montgomery, Alabama, when she spoke out in support of Rosa Parks. But, she used the tools and resources she had to support that movement. She opened her home up as a sort of restaurant to civil rights workers, including Martin Luther King, Jr., who would sit in her house over delicious home-cooked meals and a home free of wire taps to strategize. She also started something called the Club from Nowhere, where she and other women baked pies and cakes and set up booths in beauty salons or street corners to sell their baked goods and raise funds for the Montgomery bus boycott movement. This wouldn’t have been a weird thing for anyone to see on the streets in Montgomery. Customers would buy those pies and cakes and not know they were funding resources for workers who were boycotting the buses. Lisa: You’re going to learn the story of Juliette Gordon Low and the founding of Girl Scouts as well as some food history. Food is a main character in each of our stories, right? So we found a way to connect her story to all these different foods in her history. That’s our arc of narrative. Connections are made in parts of that story to these other women who you might not assume you’d learn about here at the Juliette Gordon Low house. Juliette, we feel, inspired generations of girls and women. It’s been really fun for us to think about how to link her to other woman change-makers. Kat: We do share the core stories of Juliette Gordon Low and how she became the woman who founded Girl Scouts through food, but we also share this Girl Scout tradition of telling stories of inspiring women who weren’t necessarily Girl

Scouts—early handbooks called them trailmakers. In 2018, those women could be astronauts or Nobel prize winners or Olympic athletes. But we don’t want to forget the women in the past who maybe didn’t have those opportunities who still had the same courage and determination and used those things in their everyday lives to make the world a better place. Joni: They were doing it in the sphere that was accepted for them. They were doing it in this domestic sphere that was accepted. It’s a good example of doing what you can with what you have, where you are. Any woman or any girl can make a difference or empower others. Kat: I’m not a rocket scientist, I don’t have a Nobel prize or a PhD., but what do I have in my everyday life? I can use that to make a difference.

Â? Â Â? Â

( Â ) Â Â? Â?Â? @

What kind of food is offered on the tour? Joni: We have a really nice variety, and maybe some surprises that are more interesting than delicious. You do get to try a sweet potato pie, and you get to try a recipe that’s inspired by Juliette Gordon Low’s family’s experience with Native American people of the Midwest . Kat: The majority of the food is catered by a woman-owned business and Girl Scout alum, Thrive Catering. Joni: I think this tour can be a really fun part of date night—come take this cool tour as an appetizer before dinner. The Girl Scouts are our VIPs, but this tour appeals to a broader audience than just our girls. Kat: That’s something I’d like locals to know about the house. We tell Girl Scout history, but you can come and enjoy that history no matter who you are. There are over 60 million Girl Scout alums in the United States, so that means your life has been changed by a Girl Scout, so this is your history, too. CS The Girl Scouts Smart Cookies Tasting Tour is offered on Oct. 6 and 26, Nov. 10 and 30, and Dec. 8 and 28. Tours begin at 4:15 p.m., last an hour and a half, and are limited to 12 people.

BY ORLANDO MONTOYA WHY IS Chatham Area Transit’s 14 bus going around the squares on Abercorn Street? The bus gets stuck behind slowmoving horse carriages, trolleys and people crossing on foot. And on Calhoun and Lafayette Squares, parking officials refuse to enforce the law when drivers illegally park on the square when they go to church services (which happen all week long) or even just picking their kids up from church schools (all week long). As a result, the big 14 bus gets jammed in the square and everybody riding inside has to wait for it to get unjammed, making them late for work. I should know. It’s happened to me twice this year alone. All of this might seem like a trivial issue affecting a few unlucky people. But it illustrates wider problems and opportunities within our local public transit service. When you ask CAT why they can’t send the 14 bus down Drayton and Whitaker Streets, they say that they’re hobbled by the desire for bus shelters, the size of the 14 bus, which needs a wide turning space, and the number of one-way streets downtown.

CAT has laudable goals, like making sure sidewalks have enough space for both bus shelters and wheelchairs. But this isn’t like finding a cure for cancer. We have solutions right now. Plenty of options, like East Broad and Price, are waiting to be tried. The larger problem is that CAT’s entire system needs to be completely re-routed. CAT hasn’t rethought its basic route map in decades. Last month, they started a twoyear process to create a new system map. When it’s done, sometime in 2020, it’ll cause a lot of disruption in the short term. But in the long term, it promises to make CAT more efficient and attractive because right now, CAT is running some very ineffective and money-losing routes. And it’s not just a grumbling rider saying so. CAT hired a consultant to study its routes. And in less densely populated areas, like West Chatham, Coffee Bluff, Georgetown and Wilmington Island, the consultant found abysmal ridership. The opportunity for CAT is that the consultant found great ridership elsewhere, like along Abercorn, served by that square-rounding 14 bus, CAT’s most popular route. Riders like the 14 because it goes where people want to go and it’s the most frequent, at 30 minutes. As CAT embarks on a major systemwide re-route, let’s do what the 14 does on every route, and expand on it:

CITY NOTEBOOK

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

The larger problem is that CAT’s entire system needs to be completely re-routed. CAT hasn’t rethought its basic route map in decades. Last month, they started a two-year process to create a new system map. Focus on where people want to go. And serve them quickly. This doesn’t have to mean “Leave everyone else without service,” with all the ugly politics that that brings up. In less densely populated areas, try something radically different, like on-demand flex-service (a.k.a. Neighbor Link). Used in Orlando and other places, Neighbor Link is a curb-to-curb ride-share that serves small areas and transports people either within the area or to a downtown fixed-route. The consultant’s study has a lot of great ideas but doesn’t say anything about Neighbor Link or getting the 14 bus from around the squares. I hope CAT will add those ideas and I hope other people repeat my ideas to CAT. Plenty of other ideas should come up during this 18-month public input phase,

which is way too long. I appreciate the desire for public meetings. But it can be done more quickly. Just ask any rider, especially one that’s been late to work because of a late bus. Anything we do to improve CAT improves our economy. After years of mismanagement, including a former CAT director now sitting in jail for bribery and fraud, and the culture of “can’t do” that came with it, it’s time for CAT officials to show that they “can do.” Concurrent with that, our elected leaders need to step up and “do, too.” That means giving CAT more resources, state and local especially, to move people better. In the meantime, I’ll just have you know that it’s not a First Amendment right to park illegally on a square while attending church. It’s actually a fire hazard, too. CS

Laurence Mitchell, 53, gets this week’s Most Helpful Dad award for graciously driving his 15-year-old son and the son’s girlfriend, also 15, to a Port St. Lucie, Florida, park on Sept. 6 so they could “do their thang,” as Mitchell described it. The Smoking Gun reported that when Port St. Lucie police officer Clayton Baldwin approached Mitchell’s car around 11:30 p.m., after the park had closed, Mitchell told him the kids “aren’t out there stealing, they are just having sex. They could be out there doing worse.” When the teenagers returned from the nearby soccer field, Mitchell’s son told the officer they were “just smokin’ and f---in’.” Mitchell was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a misdemeanor.

-- While shopping at a Peoria, Illinois, Walmart on Sept. 20, an unnamed 30-year-old woman filled her cart but also added a few items to her backpack: leggings, pencils, a quart of oil and a “Jesus Calling” Bible. After she paid for only the items in her cart, a loss prevention officer stopped her before she left the store. Peoria police were summoned, reported the Peoria Journal Star, and the woman explained to them she was hoping the Bible could help her spiritually: “(She) told me that it sounds strange, but she was trying to be more Christian,” an officer reported. She was charged with misdemeanor theft. -- After trying repeatedly on Sept. 12 to pull over a Toyota Prius driving with expired tags on I-5 near Marysville, Washington, a Washington State Patrol officer finally caught up to the car at an intersection and verbally instructed the unnamed 42-year-old woman driver to pull over, reported the Everett Daily Herald. “I will not. I drive a Prius,” was the woman’s reply. The officer then asked her to step out of the vehicle, which she also refused to do, so he forced her out. “I will own your bank account,” she told him. “I will own your house.” When he asked her name, she responded, “None of your business.” Finally, she was arrested for failing to obey instructions, failing to identify herself and obstruction.

A one-time only, adrenaline-packed weekend featuring historic sportscar racing, sprint races, endurance races, hot laps and more.

Tammie Hedges of Goldsboro, North Carolina, founded the nonprofit Crazy’s Claws N Paws in 2013 to help low-income families with vet bills and pet supplies, so it was natural for her to take in 27 animals displaced by Hurricane Florence in September. Hedges treated many of the animals, found in the streets or surrendered by fleeing residents, with antibiotics and painkillers for fleas, cuts and other ailments. For that, The Washington Post reported, she was arrested on Sept. 21 for

practicing veterinary medicine without a license, after an official from Wayne County Animal Services visited the warehouse where the animals were housed. Kathie Davidson, a volunteer with Claws N Paws, said: “If she hadn’t done what she did, then they’ll be charging her with animal neglect and cruelty. What was she supposed to do?” Hedges was released on bond, and the charges were later dropped.

Bait and Switch

Ironman triathlete Jaroslav Bobrowski, 30, of Landshut, Bavaria, was banned Sept. 14 from Running Sushi, an all-you-can-eat restaurant, for eating too much sushi. The Local Germany reported Bobrowski, a former bodybuilder, ate close to 100 plates of sushi, which sent the restaurant into a panic and caused the owner and chef to tell him he was banished “because I’m eating too much.” “He eats for five people,” the owner complained. “That is not normal.”

Wait, What?

An unnamed 26-year-old British woman appeared at Nuestra Senora de la Candelaria Hospital emergency room in Mojon de Arona, Tenerife, in the Canary Islands on Sept. 15 with extreme pain in her groin area. El Pais reported the doctor who examined her was surprised to find a dead, immature Chinese pond turtle lodged in her vagina. The woman told police she had attended a beach party the night before but could not remember what happened. (Given that the freshwater species is sold in pet shops, it’s not likely that it got there by accident.) Police suspect she may have been the victim of a sexual assault, but she chose not to file a complaint.

What Was Your First Clue?

Romance novelist Nancy Crampton Brophy, 68, was arrested on Sept. 5 on charges of murdering her husband, Daniel Brophy, 63, in Portland, Oregon, after apparently following her own advice, written in a 2011 essay titled “How to Murder Your Husband.” In the essay, Crampton Brophy suggests that hiring a hit man is “never a good idea” and poison is traceable. Instead, reported The Oregonian, she allegedly shot her husband on June 2 at the Oregon Culinary Institute where Daniel was a beloved chef. Police did not release a motive, and a neighbor said Crampton Brophy “never showed any signs of being upset or sad.” On Sept. 17, she pleaded not guilty in Multnomah County Circuit Court, and her trial is set for Oct. 26.

CAPTURED! By Robots’

MECHANICAL AGGRESSION

BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.com

FOR TWO decades, Captured! By Robots has been a one-of-a-kind band. Led by JBOT, albeit against his will, the group consists of one human and two robots. Yes, you read that correctly. For those unfamiliar with the group, it’s literally a band of two robots (who physically play instruments) and their human prisoner. The robots, along with JBOT, have been staging intense grindcore shows and making complex and aggressive music since their eponymous debut in 1997. Twenty years later, the band is still going strong and is set to hit The Jinx on Sat., Oct. 6. The beginning of such an ambitious and labor-intensive band came from a simple dilemma – JBOT was tired of playing music with humans. “Have you ever played in a band? You get so sick of bullshit,” he tells Connect by phone while driving through Texas on tour. “You get sick of people showing up late to rehearsal, not wanting to play the same kind of stuff you want to play, not

wanting to go on tour because they have a baby now. Oh my god, it’s horrible!” The idea, he said, came when he was having a difficult time finding a guitar player. “I’d never built a robot before, but I decided to build a robot guitar player,” he says, adding that the first one he built wasn’t nearly as good as the one he has these days. He later added a drummer, and the band was born. In the early days, JBOT says, it was extremely difficult to build a robot that could be programmed to play music. He had to “piece together shit that’s not meant to go together,” and scoured the Internet for answers while exploring his early robotic creations. “Early on, it was all manual. When we first started, I was playing a multi-button keypad that controlled guitar-bot and was playing a two-string bass with one hand doing hammer-ons and shit. It was a horrible one man band kind of thing. It was so bad,” he explains. In the early 2000s, he made the decision to go completely computer-controlled – which took a full year of consulting, researching, and building.

Stylistically, grindcore was something that JBOT says was a natural inclination and was born out of a desire to find the right outlet for his creativity. It took some time to figure out, and the process of landing on grindcore as a stylistic direction was often a frustrating one. “I was playing doom, but doom just doesn’t work for me so much. I’m too spazzy,” he says. “I fell into doing covers, and found that the band was getting stale. And I just fucking hated it. It was making me crazy. So I kept trying to change the band to be something that I wanted it to be, and eventually I ended up just quitting. I couldn’t stand it.” “When I was re-starting it, [grindcore] was all I listened to. It was the only thing I could do that made any sense for me. It’s what I love, and you have to do what you love regardless of consequences. Grindcore is really angular. You can do anything with it.” The music lends itself well to brutally honest subject matter, which JBOT doesn’t shy away from tackling. Race and white privilege, in particular, are important issues for the musician, who says

there’s some progress being made for people who have been on the receivingend of unspeakable racism in America. The addressing of these issues in music is something that JBOT feels isn’t quite happening yet, explaining that he feels like there’s “resistance” from people in bands to write about tough topics. “Maybe it’s just where I am in my life – I don’t want to care about people, but I do,” he says. When it comes to being captured by his robot masters, JBOT says the daily grind of touring with, loading in, setting up, and breaking down robots is a prime example of how he’s being controlled. Though it’s no different, in his estimation, than anyone else. “It’s fucking brutal, man,” he exclaims. “It’s everything for the robots. My whole life is controlled by the shit. It’s a drag sometimes, but what are you going to do? Everybody has a master, so fuck it. What else am I going to do?” CS Captured! By Robots @The Jinx Sat., Oct. 6, 9 P.M.

Picnic In The Park: Creating community through music

The Savannah Philharmonic’s annual event is bigger and better in 2018 BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.com

TOUTED as the largest outdoor event in the city, Savannah Philharmonic’s Picnic in the Park is a fast-growing annual celebration that invites families to Forsyth Park each October to immerse themselves in orchestral music. Picnic in the Park, a local tradition for over 30 years adopted by the Philharmonic in 2015, strives to further the organization’s mission to “provide professional orchestral music for the entire city.” “For us, it’s really very fulfilling, and a gift back to the community at large,” Executive Director Terri O’Neil says. “We are the sole producers and presenters of the six-and-a-half hour event.” This year’s Picnic is set for Sunday, October 7, and will be capped off by a headline performance from the Philharmonic and some special guests. Since the Philharmonic got involved in the event, Picnic In The Park has evolved into something that involves not only the orchestra but also community and student ensembles. This year, they’re featuring the 3rd Infantry Division Army Band – rounding out what O’Neil describes as a “fantastic day for the entire city to come together and celebrate community.” For O’Neil, the most lasting impression that Picnic in the Park has had on her has been the sense of “patriotism, diversity, and inclusiveness.” “When you’re there and you see it and feel it, it’s just an energy that is very infectious,” she says. With the event being as involved and intricate as it is, an all-hands-on-deck effort is required by all involved. That sense of teamwork is perhaps the biggest motivating force for O’Neil and the people involved in putting something of such a large scope together. “It allows everybody to participate,” she says. “It’s at the core of our mission to enrich and educate. And to be able to do this on such a large scale is, for us, an honor.” The event essentially takes a full year to plan from the idea phase all the way to the big day – starting with logistical planning that includes working with the city of Savannah to reserve the park. Balancing schedules for not just the Philharmonic and the city but all of the partners involved in the event might seem like the biggest hurdle to climb, but the

‘Illuminating the Night’ is this year’s theme at Picnic in the Park. PHOTO BY GEOFF L. JOHNSON

work doesn’t end there. “Our artistic director and conductor, Peter Shannon, loves this event,” O’Neil says, adding that Shannon’s work planning the itinerary and visualizing the performances puts an emphasis on diverse material. “It’s a combination of not only the classical favorites, but also Hollywood and the patriotic songs.” Once the artistic elements are in motion, it’s up to other members of the team to create a visual component. This year, the Philharmonic incorporated the talents of Stage Front Production Services to elevate the visual aspects of the performances with top notch lighting and video accompaniment. “The theme this year is ‘Illuminating the night,’ so Stage Front is creating a light show and video show that will be played in concert with the orchestra’s performance,” O’Neil reveals. With so many components involved in staging the show, and with it being just one of the orchestra’s 15 concerts throughout the year, Picnic in the Park is a real labor of love for all involved. With the combination of digital technology and live performance becoming increasingly commonplace, Picnic in the Park is looking towards the future with aspirations of taking their technological integrations even further. They’re also starting to think more outside of the box in terms of the music they can offer to audiences at future Picnic in the Park events.

“With classical music conductors, their love and passion is producing that beautiful music,” O’Neil explains, “so we have to really find a creative way not to overshadow what people want to hear. But there are discussions about developing audiences with not just classical music. There’s lots of music out there that the orchestra could play.” Organizers are also looking at the event being longer in the coming years, so as to offer more for attendees. In the past, the emphasis has been on letting people bring their own picnic to the park. Now, food and drink vendors allow audiences to have everything brought to them. “They can just bring a blanket and a chair, and have everything they need to enjoy the music,” O’Neil says. CS

MUSIC INTERVIEW

QUIET RIOT ENDURES AND THRIVES Drummer Frankie Banali talks about the band’s legacy and what to expect from their upcoming Tybee Pirate Festival performance

BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.com

DECADES after they burst onto the charts with their landmark album Metal Health, Quiet Riot is still going under the direction of drummer Frankie Banali. Banali is the only member left from the classic lineup, and has forged ahead through some difficult times that include the death of founding member and singer Kevin DuBrow. The band, which now features American Idol finalist James Durbin on vocals, is set to perform as the headliner for this year’s Tybee Island Pirate Festival on Saturday, October 6. Now in its 14th year, the annual Pirate Fest on Tybee is a weekend for people to enjoy live entertainment, family activities, food, drinks, and fun all while wearing pirate costumes. Organizers have been

known to bring in big names for headliners, and the legendary 80s rockers are no exception. Quiet Riot, formed by DuBrow and initially featuring the late guitar legend Randy Rhoads, went through some early lineup shifts before eventually landing on the classic lineup featuring Banali. 1983’s Metal Health put the band on the map, providing something of a sonic bridge between AC/DC’s Back In Black and the glam metal that came after it. The band had a hit with the song “Cum On Feel The Noize,” a song originally performed by 70s glam rock icons Slade, which catapulted them into the national spotlight. It also was the first time that Slade, who tried hard on their own to break in the U.S. despite massive success in the U.K., became known to American audiences on a major scale. “They wrote great songs that were hits elsewhere but not in the US,” Banali says.

“I think our version of ‘Cum On Feel The Noize’ was fresh and everyone benefited from our version. It became a hit for Quiet Riot helping to make us famous and Slade made a great deal of money from our version. That’s a win win anyway you look at it!” Metal Health has maintained acclaim in the years since its release, which Banali attributes to producer Spencer Proffer and engineer Duane Baron – who the drummer says “both did great work” on the album. These days, Banali is both musically leading and managing the band. After DuBrow’s passing in 2007, he received blessing from the singer’s family to carry on and has been doing so ever since. He says that the band and its fans are “as important” as his own family, and preserving the legacy of Quiet Riot is something “worth fighting for.”

“I have survived the many personal changes and faces of Quiet Riot. I have survived the death of my best friend Kevin DuBrow, I have survived all of the criticism,” he adds. “I’ve always believed in Quiet Riot and I’ve always been up to the task be it the good times and bad times.” That passion and drive is what led him to Durbin, a former American Idol contestant who joined the group in 2017. Banali said that when he discovered Durbin, he was at a point where he’d went through a number of vocalists who were soundalike singers, to various degrees. When it came time to hire someone new, he decided to focus on “finding a singer who had the range, was comfortable as a performer and had their own vocal identity while still being reasonably faithful to the vocals, the songs and the long legacy” of the band. “I thought he was the most capable from everyone else we had since Kevin DuBrow’s death,” Banali says of Durbin. With Durbin, the band released the album Road Rage, which was largely completed prior to the singer joining. As a drummer, Banali’s influences are extremely diverse – something he feels is important for any musician who wants to grow in their craft. “If you are serious as a musician you have to listen to everything,” he says. “Vinnie Colaiuta and Buddy Rich taught me dexterity and dynamics as well as a different approach to tunings and song arrangements. Ringo and Charlie Watts taught me how to play songs. John Bonham taught me everything else I needed to know in 1968. But the list really goes so deep that this would be an entirely separate interview!” Banali, who says he’s always treated each song he’s written and/or recorded “as its own person and personality,” adds that he’s learned to view even the simplest aspects of a song differently in the studio than in concert – meaning that there’s always something unique about each Quiet Riot show and it doesn’t subscribe to any sort of template or technical crutch. “I’m a very big believer that not all songs work at the same tempo on a recording vs

the live version and I am never afraid of playing certain songs faster live than in the studio,” he says. “I learned these lessons from everyone from Miles Davis, Led Zeppelin and everyone in-between with studio versions vs live versions.” For someone whose career has spanned several decades and an impressive list of credits including stints with Billy Idol, W.A.S.P., and Steppenwolf, Banali says that it’s easy to keep his passion for music alive within an ever-changing and often frustrating industry. At the end of the day, it’s about the songs. “I still love to play the drums, I still love to play these songs, I still love Quiet Riot,” he says. “From a business aspect, I am dedicated and focused to do the best I can behind the scenes for the band and onstage for the fans because even if only one person paid to see you play, that person deserves the best you have to offer.” As for performing live with the band, Banali insists that the fans always keep things exciting. “[We have] great longtime fans that have been with us since 1983 and amazing younger fans that have come onboard along the way,” he says. “That is what keeps me going, that is what keeps me protective of Quiet Riot.” CS Pirate Fest 2018 Main Stage Schedule Fri., Oct 5 6 PM – In for a Penny 7 PM – Cannon Firing and Opening Ceremony – with Barnacle Bill Bedlam 7:30 PM – The Land Sharks (Jimmy Buffet Tribute Band) 9 PM – Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love Sat., Oct. 6 1 – 2 PM – Kids & Pet Costume Contest 3-5 PM DJ Dance Party 5 PM – In for a Penny 6 PM – Adult Costume Contest 6:30 PM – Lynn Avenue 7:30 PM – Thomas Claxton and the Myth 9 PM – Quiet Riot 9:45 ish – Fireworks 10 PM – DJ Dance Party

The sibling rock duo stops in Savannah with a new album BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.com

JEFF The Brotherhood has had an interesting ride since things got off the ground for them around 2009. The band, comprised of brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall, made the bold decision at that time to quit everything else and focus solely on making a career out of music – something that turned out to be a rather lucrative move for them. The Nashville-based Orrall brothers quickly began cultivating a devoted fan base and even landed a brief major label contract with Warner Bros., appearing on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and The Late Show With David Letterman in the few years that followed. These days, the live show has grown to a larger configuration than just the two brothers. They’re bringing that band, and their ever-expanding catalog of music, to Starland Dairy on October 5, and are on the road promoting their latest album Magick Songs. Things got started for the brothers Orrall at a very young age, with their childhood influences deeply impacting their musical path later in life. “[There was] a lot of ‘70s stuff – Talking Heads, Devo, The Clash, Elvis Costello, stuff like that. And we were really into Captain Beefhart, Beck, and Fugazi as well,” Jake says.

Fugazi and Sonic Youth, in particular, were perhaps the heaviest influences on their first two releases – though the influences change often as the band evolves, Orrall admitted. “We’re both really big music nerds. We’ve both spent our whole lives discovering new music, so it changes every couple months, really,” he says. At the time that the band kicked into gear, Orrall said that circumstances were different in terms of how you pursued music full-time. Quitting their jobs and fully committing to music was the way to go 10 years ago, but the Internet has changed the landscape entirely. “At the time, we didn’t really have that, weirdly enough. You didn’t blow up on the Internet. You had to tour [laughs],” he says. “Now it seems like people are making a lot of money just putting out singles on Spotify or putting out stuff on YouTube and then doing all the festivals. And I’ve heard now that festivals are primarily booked using an algorithm on Spotify – which is insane for us relatively old school people. But you know, you’ve got to adapt.” As a relentlessly touring unit, and one that has seen firsthand almost every possible scenario imaginable as an artist in the music industry, Orrall and his brother still see it as the only way to make a real living in music. They’re holding on to that belief and forging ahead, even as the way people consume music changes rapidly. “Touring’s really all we’ve got,” he says.

“Nobody really buys records anymore.” The old-school mentality that drives JEFF The Brotherhood as a touring unit is the same mentality they employ in the studio. They’ve worked with everyone from The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach to The White Stripes’ Jack White, yet they’ve tended to approach recording from an almost bare-bones perspective. For their most recent release, however, they shook things up - building a studio setup in Orrall’s living room and starting from zero. “We didn’t write anything, and just kind of experimented for five months,” he says. The experience forced Orrall to not only approach composition in a new way, but also learn engineering and navigate that side of the process. “It was pretty intimidating, just because we didn’t know if we’d come up with anything good. But it ended up being really, really fun and we ended up with way more material than we needed. We were able to pick the best stuff,” he says. The resulting music, he adds, was “almost all improv.” The group, who is currently exploring plans to tour Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, is set to swing through Savannah in support of Magick Songs – out now on Dine Alone Records.

CALEB KOPTA @FOXY LOXY CAFÉ

One only has to hear his single “Burning House” to know that Caleb Kopta is on the cusp of some big things. The Pennsylvania singer has a vocal delivery similar to Bruce Springsteen, though the production is similar to a band like The Killers. It all comes together to create something both radio-ready and accessible to music nerds and audiophiles. His solo acoustic gig at Foxy Loxy is sure to give fans a taste of what’s to come. FRI., OCT. 5, 7 P.M.

HALF-SEAS OVER, IVAN PULLEY BAND @BARRELHOUSE SOUTH

Half-Seas Over are a group of talented Statesboro rockers who ride the line between straight-up country and Allman Brothers twang. Their guitar-driven recordings evoke the warm, organic sonics of 70s southern rock, and the songwriting is both simple and impactful. They’ve made quite a name for themselves across the southeast, and are perfect for fans of Sturgill Simpson and Alabama Shakes. SAT., OCT. 6, 9 P.M.

ASG

ASG, TELEKINETIC YETI @THE JINX

North Carolina stoner rock outfit ASG offers a truly unique blend of heavy rock riffs, Wayne Coyne-esque melodic vocals that can transform into intense screams with no warnings, and challenging compositions that border on prog. The band, who is currently signed to Relapse Records, has made quite a name for themselves with their latest release, Survive Sunrise. They’re bringing their signature brand of rock to The Jinx alongside Telekinetic Yeti. FRI., OCT. 5, 9 P.M., $10/ADV, $12/DOS

‘God Of Carnage’ Olivia Quillman brings the popular play to the school’s stage as the first student director in three years BY SEAN KELLY

CONNECT SAVANNAH | OCT 3-9, 2018

IN TODAY’S political climate, it’s easier than ever to see adults devolve quickly into children. That devolution often takes place within the security blanket that is social media – a place where simple differences of opinion trigger name-calling, intense arguments, and even the ending of friendships. These issues have always been here, of course. Several years before Facebook put such arguments on display, a play called God Of Carnage examined them masterfully. The show, which was adapted onto the big screen in 2011 as Carnage, is set to open 26 at Georgia Southern’s Armstrong Campus’

Jenkins Hall on October 4 – brought to the stage by Armstrong senior and director Olivia Quillman. The school’s first student director in three years, Quillman’s production of God Of Carnage feels more timely than ever for both the college-aged and older demographics given the current political atmosphere. Quillman, who is set to graduate next year and plans to head to New York to pursue her acting - and likely directorial - career, made a point to adapt the production wherever necessary to best reflect modern American society given the unique political climate of today. We spoke to her ahead of opening night to learn more about the show and what brought her to the director’s chair.

Stacie Jean Albano’s smart, fun show is up at Location Gallery

YOU MIGHT be familiar with Stacie Jean Albano’s work, but her latest show at Location Gallery is quite unlike anything she’s shown before. “Instinctual,” up now through Oct. 12, is a collection of 19 works that blend together animals and humans. “This body of work is a little different from what I typically have had in the past,” explains Albano. “I’m traditionally known as a landscape painter. However, I decided to showcase more of my illustrative side with this show.” Albano’s trademark style of landscape painting shines through in this show with her gentle, almost impressionistic brush strokes and use of light. “I started showing my anthropomorphic drawings this past winter in group shows with Location Gallery. While brainstorming with Peter Roberts, Roman mythology seemed like a natural fit for my solo show, especially since I myself am of Italian descent,” Albano says. “I’ve always enjoyed the stories of mythology and their influence on artists, like Correggio’s

Lil Miss Mint & Peas

immediately thought of the ‘80s power suit and movies that reflected that concept, shoulder pads and briefcase included.” Notably, Albano blends oil, acrylic, graphite and pencil to achieve a unique look in her artwork. “The work ranges from simple figurative works to fully developed landscapes, and everything in between,” says Albano. “The title ‘Instinctual’ plays on the idea that the instincts of the animal and the human can sometimes be one in the same, as depicted in many of the images,” says Vesta Albano. The exhibition has a second reception Oct. 6 with a pet adoption event with One Love Animal Rescue, which will also receive gallery profits. “You could potentially leave with a 2D

and a 3D pet,” laughs Albano. CS Location Gallery is at 417 Whitaker St. inside Austin Hill Realty.

‘Jupiter and Io,’ so to take those stories and put my own spin on them was very exciting.” The result is an inherently funny body of work, featuring donkeys wearing dresses and a fresh take on a classic, “Gods Playing Poker,” featuring crows and bulls arguing over cards. “Another reason to love these mythology stories is that they are a perfect vehicle for my salty-sweet humor,” notes Albano. To that end, one painting Albano points out is “Lil Miss Mint and Peas,” which perfectly shows off that slightly dark sense of humor. “Fauna is the goddess of spring animals,” Albano says. “In the painting, she has the head of one of her sacred animals, a spring lamb. Atop her head is a wreath of mint and spring peas in her hand. While she is a celebration of spring animals, some people think spring lamb paired with mint sauce and peas makes a wonderful spring dinner – that might explain the not-sohappy expression on her face.” Another example Albano shares is “Working Woman.” “Juno was queen of the goddesses and responsible for whispering into the ears of the Roman women to have babies, while having plenty of her own children to take care of,” Albano explains. “Busy working mom in a metropolitan area, I

Insley Smullen, Refuge

BY RACHAEL FLORA

rachael@connectsavannah.com

THIS weekend, see some of Savannah’s most talented creatives display their photography. “Rule of Four,” open Oct. 4-6 at Sulfur Studios, features the work of Tim Foster, Geoff L Johnson, Laura Pleasants, and Insley Smullen. The exhibition showcases each artist’s perspective on contrasting landscapes. Notably, Emily Earl of Prismatic Prints did the printing and mounting of the show. Connect talked to Johnson, Pleasants and Smullen ahead of the exhibition. How did this exhibition come about? Geoff L Johnson: I approached Jennifer and Emily, at Sulfur Studios, with the idea for this exhibition. Insley, Laura and Tim are accomplished creatives, although people may not necessarily know them as photographers. This seemed like a fun idea to build a photo show around. Laura Pleasants: I was talking to Geoff about wanting to show some of my work. A couple of weeks later, he approached me to be a part of a group show with him. I’ve known Geoff for around ten years or so.

I think I first met him when I hired him to shoot some promo shots for my band [Kylesa] at the time. Insley Smullen: Geoff is one of the first people I met when I moved to Savannah back in 2011. I did some modeling for him, and over time began to show him my own photography, which he liked enough to invite me to be in a show with him. This is the first time I’ll be showing my photographic work in a public setting. Tell me about yourself as a photographer. How long have you been shooting? What equipment are you using? Geoff: I learned traditional black and white photography in high school and at SCAD, and have been an art photographer and freelance photographer for 20 years. I shoot Nikon DSLRs. Laura: I have been shooting steadily since my early twenties. I graduated SCAD with a BFA in photography but I took a different path when I graduated and played in a touring rock band for over a decade. I continued to shoot regularly during my travels. I’ve shot with many different types of cameras over the years: Polaroids, 35mm, Holga/plastic cameras, medium format, large format, digital, etc.

During my travels with Kylesa, I rarely had anything nice to use so it was generally a Holga, a cheap 35mm or an iPhone. The photos I chose for this exhibit span some time. I think I shot with a medium format Bronica, an old digital point and shoot and various iPhones. Insley: I’ve been shooting since I was eight, starting with a blue plastic FisherPrice 35mm film camera. When digital cameras became available to the public (the ones that used floppy disks!), I messed around with those, and rode the “digitalis-the-future-of-photography” wave until college, when I transitioned back to 35mm. In my early twenties I started shooting medium format film, which is what I exclusively use now. How did you choose what work you wanted to include? Is the work in this exhibition indicative of your usual style? Geoff: I simply hoped we’d all show work we were excited about. Work we wanted to print, and see on a gallery wall. As we each curated images and shared our progress with each other, some appealing consistencies and contrasts emerged among our images.

Velvet curtains, leather, old lamps, and greenery are just some of the details incorporated into the space. Ahron Mack, the builder of the Lone Wolf Lounge, constructed almost everything that can be found inside the joint. When he is not hammering away at the Lone Wolf Lounge, you can find Mack mixing drinks at Cotton and Rye. When I ask about how they approached the menu, Ripley says, “I was trying to create a balanced menu that makes the best use of all of the stuff we have here.” “Not everything we carry is like a magazine ad; we have really good stuff that you can get at a good price,” Ripley tells me. I found the affordability interesting considering so many of the items used to mix their drinks are created by hand in-house, such as their grenadine, their tinctures, and their blends. I was instantly drawn to The Glamorous Life because when seeking out tiki drink I feel that you cannot beat a straightforward, well-composed, classic daiquiri. The perfect version of this cocktail does not require a ton of frill or mixers, just a thoughtfully crafted mix. The Glamorous Life is just that, mixed properly to create a balanced drink anyone would love. Rum, lime, and sugar are the components used in the Lone Wolf Lounge’s recipe. The Patient Zero is Ripley’s and Worley’s take on the tropical drink that is said to have started the tiki craze of the 1930s, Don the Beachcomber’s “The Zombie.” The recipe for an original Zombie is said to use lime, rum, Grenadine, Angostura bitters, Pernod, grapefruit, and cinnamon. The Lone Wolf Lounge makes this drink their own by adding banana, cardamom, almond, and the most important ingredient of all—rum. To be expected, it is served in a wooden tiki totem mug.

For those who want to feel like they are in affluent Malibu instead of our eclectic town, the Treating Objects Like Women should be your drink of choice. Served in a sleek tall glass tumbler, vodka, pomegranate grenadine, lime juice, orange juice, and ice make up this fruity yet refreshing drink. You truly cannot select anything bad when choosing from The Lone Wolf Lounge’s House Cocktail list. And if you manage to drink through the entire thing, the (other) Cocktail list offers all of the usual tiki creations, such as a Pina Colada and a Hurricane. The beer list is just as well rounded as the cocktail side of the menu, many of which are favorite beers of Worley and Ripley. As Worley puts it, “if we don’t like to drink it, you probably are not going to find it on the menu.” What might be surprising is the care the pair took in selecting the wines offered at the Lone Wolf Lounge. Every available option of fermented grape would make any sommelier proud. The Lone Wolf should only grow from here. Ripley and Worley plan on adding pool tables, darts, and the like to additional space in the back. The future of the Lounge is stacked full, considering they are currently only using half of the space. The remaining half will bring much more to patrons in the near future. For now, Ripley and Worley are happy running an establishment that aims to bridge local businesses together by offering a hangout where everyone around town can come together and get to know one another, all of course at a reasonable price. CS Lone Wolf Lounge is at 2429 Lincoln St.

NIGHT SCHOOL

// Tiffany Haddish broke out last year with her terrific turn in the box office hit Girls Trip, while Kevin Hart has proven himself to be a comic force in such endeavors as Central Intelligence and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. A movie that unites the pair sounds like a proposition that can’t miss, but Night School squanders their talents in a limp endeavor that’s anemic even by contemporary comedy standards. While the poster (with both their names plastered across the top) makes this look like a co-starring venture, the opening credit sequence (with his name before the title and hers following it) is more accurate in establishing their roles as leading man and supporting player. Hart stars as Teddy Walker, a high school dropout who nevertheless enjoys a rich life with his beautiful girlfriend Lisa (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and the promise of future ownership of the BBQ grill store where he presently works as a salesperson (he’s been “Employee of the Month” since time immemorial). But a mishap results in Teddy suddenly finding himself unemployed, and without a high school diploma, he can’t even accept the lucrative job being offered by his best friend (Ben Schwartz) in the financial sector. In order to receive his GED, Teddy therefore has no choice but to attend night school, where he and various other late-bloomers — a doofus dad (Rob Riggle), an anti-tech eccentric (Romany Malco), an unappreciated housewife (Mary Lynn Rajskub), and so on — find themselves under the watchful eye of Carrie (Haddish), the stern but fair instructor who refuses to put up with her students’ nonsense. After a promising beginning, Night School devolves into a series of gags that are more desperate than funny. With a pathological zeal, the movie repeatedly bypasses clever gags relating to its setup in favor of juvenile jokes involving bodily injuries, perpetual puking, and pubic hairs in cheesecake. And with a script credited to no less than six writers (including Hart), it’s perhaps no surprise that the pacing is clumsy and the narrative is sloppy (can someone who ends up seeing this explain to me how they all got off that roof?). Perhaps the picture’s greatest flaw, however, rests in the mismatch between its stars. An ideal movie starring Hart and Haddish would make them comedic equals along the lines of Cheech & Chong or Laurel & Hardy. Instead, they’re more like Martin & Lewis, Abbott & Costello and Groucho/Chico/Harpo & Zeppo, with Hart receiving the lion’s share of the humorous interludes and Haddish mostly relegated to playing straight man (or straight woman, in this case).

Night School

THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS

/0 On the literary timeline, the source material for the new kid flick The House with a Clock in Its Walls existed long before Harry Potter received a letter offering him a chance to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But on the cinematic timeline, this adaptation of John Bellairs’ 1973 children’s novel arrives long after the magic has largely dissipated from such enterprises. While the celluloid version of J.K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them offered enough invention and energy to bode well for the upcoming follow-up, everything in Clock moves at the pace of, well, a clock winding out. It’s both too-little-too-late and been-there-done-that. Set in 1955, the movie centers on Lewis Barnavelt (Owen Vaccaro), a young boy who’s sent to live with his eccentric uncle Jonathan (Jack Black) after his parents are killed in a car crash. Jonathan’s home is a cluttered mansion once owned by the late Isaac Izard (Kyle MacLachlan), an evil warlock who left a ticking clock hidden somewhere on the premises. Jonathan, who’s also revealed to be a warlock (albeit a good one), knows that the clock represents something malevolent, so he and Florence Zimmerman (Cate Blanchett), his next-door neighbor and fellow sorcerer, spend much of their time frantically searching for it. Wowed by everything he’s witnessing, Lewis decides that he would like to become a warlock as well. Best known for Cabin Fever and Hostel, Eli Roth has spent 2018 trying to

reinvent himself as a filmmaker who can tackle other genres in addition to horror. He started the year with the needless Death Wish remake and now returns with a PG-rated family film that’s somehow even more dreary and repetitive than that R-rated effort. For a movie about fantastic beasts and where to find them, The House with a Clock in Its Walls offers little in the way of wonder and imagination. The incessant CGI maintains a constant chokehold on most other aspects of the film, as if Roth felt that today’s kids can only respond to a nonstop barrage of sound and fury and busy effects. The doll army is admittedly creepy — one can easily picture them as Pennywise’s minions — but a little of the canine-like chair, the belching pumpkins, and the perpetually crapping topiary griffin goes a long way. Even the sight of Black’s head on an infant’s body runs a distant second to the more accomplished trick of placing Ryan Reynolds’ noggin on an itty bitty body in the recent Deadpool 2. After Goosebumps, Black doubtless seemed like a sound choice for this project, and he’s perfectly suited for his role as a voluble man whose surface cheeriness masks his inner frustrations and fears. But Blanchett never quite comes into her own in what’s ultimately a rather blasé role, and while the idea of having Black and Blanchett constantly hurling affectionate insults at each other sounds delightful, their barbs rarely extend beyond tiresome variations of “You’re ugly” and “You’re fat.” CS

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19)

*Electra* is an action-packed story written by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles. It features epic characters taking drastic action in response to extreme events. In contrast to that text is Marcel Proust’s novel *In Search of Lost Time*, which draws from the sensitive author’s experiences growing up, coming of age, and falling in love, all the while in quest for meaning and beauty. Author Virginia Woolfe compared the two works, writing, “In six pages of Proust we can find more complicated and varied emotions than in the whole of the *Electra*.” In accordance with astrological omens, I recommend that you specialize in the Proustian mode rather than the Sophoclean. Your feelings in the next five weeks could be as rich and interesting and educational as they have been in a long time. Honor them!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Researchers in Maryland have created a new building material with a strength-toweight ratio that’s eight times better than steel. It’s an effective insulator, and in some forms can be bent and folded. Best of all, it’s biodegradable and cost-effective. The stuff is called nanowood, and is derived from lightweight, fast-growing trees like balsa. I propose that we make it your main metaphor for the foreseeable future. Why? Because I think you’re primed to locate or create your own version of a flexible, durable, robust building block.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

44

The U.S. Secretary of Defense paid an official visit to Indonesia early this year. The government arranged for him to observe soldiers as they demonstrated how tough and well-trained they were. Some of the troops shimmied through broken glass, demolished bricks with their heads, walked through fire, and bit heads off snakes. I hope you won’t try stunts like that in the coming weeks, Gemini. It will be a favorable time for you show off your skills and make strong impressions. You’ll be wise to impress important people with how creative and resourceful you are. But there’s no need to try too hard or resort to

exaggeration.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

i confess that i have a fuzzy self-image. With odd regularity, i don’t seem to know exactly what or who i am. For example, i sometimes think i’m so nice and polite that i need to toughen up. But on other occasions i feel my views are so outrageous and controversial that i should tone myself down. Which is true? Often, i even neglect to capitalize the word “i.” You have probably experienced some of this fuzziness, my fellow Cancerian. But you’re now in a favorable phase to cultivate a more definitive self-image. Here’s a helpful tip: We Cancerians have a natural talent for inspiring people to love us. This ability will come in especially handy as we work on making an enduring upgrade from i to I. Our allies’ support and feedback will fuel our inner efforts to clarify our identity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

“I am a little afraid of love, it makes me rather stupid.” So said author Simone de Beauvoir in a letter she wrote to her lover, Nelson Algren. I’m happy to let you know, Leo, that during the next twelve months, love is likely to have the opposite effect on you. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it will tend to make you smarter and more perceptive. To the degree that you expand your capacity for love, you will become more resilient and a better decision-maker. As you get the chance to express love with utmost skill and artistry, you will awaken dormant potentials and boost your personal power.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your theme in the coming weeks is the art of attending to details. But wait! I said “the art.” That means attending to details with panache, not with overly meticulous fussing. For inspiration, meditate on St. Francis Xavier’s advice, “Be great in little things.” And let’s take his thought a step further with a quote from author Richard Shivers: “Be great in little things, and you will be given opportunity to do big things.” Novelist Tom Robbins provides us with

one more nuance: “When we accept small wonders, we qualify ourselves to imagine great wonders.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Libran astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson offers this observation: “When you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. [But] the most successful people in life recognize that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.” I think Tyson’s simple wisdom is exactly what you need to hear right now, Libra. You’re primed for a breakthrough in your ability to create your own fate.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Japanese entrepreneur Hiroki Terai has created a business that offers crying therapy. His clients watch short videos specially formulated to make them weep. A professional helper is on hand to gently wipe their tears away and provide comforting words. “Tears have relaxing and healing effects,” says an Okinawan musician who works as one of the helpers. Hiroki Terai adds, “It has been said that one drop of tear has the effect of relieving stress for a week.” I wish there were a service like this near where you live, Scorpio. The next two weeks will be a perfect time to relieve pent-up worry and sadness and anxiety through cathartic rituals like crying. What other strategies might work for you?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Fling out friendly feelers! Sling out interesting invitations! Figure out how to get noticed for all the right reasons! Make yourself so interesting that no one can resist your proposals! Use your spunky riddle-solving powers to help ease your tribe’s anxieties. Risk looking odd if that will make you smarter! Plunk yourself down in pivotal places where vitality is welling up! Send out telepathic beams that say, “I’m ready for sweet adventure. I’m ready for invigorating transformation!”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

“Someone spoke to me last night, told me the truth,” writes poet Doeianne Laux. “I knew I should make myself get up, write it down, but it was late, and I was exhausted from working. Now I remember only the flavor.” I offer these thoughts, Capricorn, in the hope that they’ll help you avoid Laux’s mistake. I’m quite sure that crucial insights and revelations will be coming your way, and I want you to do whatever’s necessary to completely capture them so you can study and meditate on them at length.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

As a young man, Aquarian poet Louis Dudek struck up a correspondence with renowned poet Ezra Pound, who was 32 years older. Dudek “admired him immensely,” and “loved him for the joy and the luminosity” of his poetry, but also resented him “for being so magnificent.” With a mix of mischief and adulation, Dudek wrote a poem to his hero. It included these lines: “For Christ’s sake, you didn’t invent sunlight. There was sun dazzle before you. But you talk as if you made light or discovered it.” I hope his frisky tone might inspire you to try something similar with your own idols. It would be healthy to be more playful and lighthearted about anything or anyone you take too seriously or give enormous power to.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

In his book *Till We Have Faces*, C. S. Lewis writes, “Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.” In that spirit, and in accordance with astrological omens, I suggest you seek out dark holy places that evoke wonder and reverence, even awe. Hopefully, you will be inspired thereby to bring new beauty into your life. You’ll be purged of trivial concerns and become receptive to a fresh promise from your future life.
