Beyond words In conjunction with last week’s Virginia Festival of the Book, quotes were powerwashed into sidewalks around downtown Charlottesville and the University of Virginia to engage students and community members with African-American history and culture. The installation sites for #UnseenCville, a collaboration between Virginia Humanities, local historians and UVA’s art history, arts administration and American studies departments, were selected by UVA students, who placed them near book fest programs in the hopes that the text would comment on broader social experiences. The quotes were excerpted from The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks About Race, Jesmyn Ward’s bestselling collection of essays and poems about race.

IN BRIEF Adios, LOSers

The neo-Confederate League of the South has agreed not to return to Charlottesville should there be another Unite the Right rally. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the league and its officers, who are named in a suit brought by a Georgetown Law institute, admit no wrongdoing. Nearly two dozen defendants were named in the suit, and Jason Kessler tweeted that he won’t settle because he’d have to agree to not countersue.

Most people in town are privy to the “crazy fast fiber internet” service, but not everyone can afford the $89 a month price tag. City Councilor Wes Bellamy is proposing a $150,400 city subsidy that would allow public-housing residents to pay only $10 a month for the service. Comcast has an affordable internet program at the same price.

Dewberry grows

False advertising The 425 highway signs in the state that say, “Speed limit enforced by aircraft,” are all lying, according to the Bristol Herald Courier, which reports that Virginia State Police haven’t aerially enforced the speed limit for more than five years.

The Board of Architectural Review okayed an extra floor and more mass last week for the Downtown Mall’s unwanted landmark, the skeletal structure that’s blighted the landscape since 2009. Now known as the Dewberry Charlottesville, the proposed hotel may add an 11th floor and 17 more rooms.

A new rendering and name have been given to local angel investor Jaffray Woodriff’s tech incubator scheduled to take out the Main Street Arena sometime this summer. The Center of Developing Entrepreneurs—or, aptly named CODE—will be situated at the west entrance of the Downtown Mall and will house between 15 and 25 businesses. Woodriff aims to “bring together innovators in a multi-tenant building, stimulating economic activity and increasing employment,” according to a press release. The ice park closes March 31, and construction on the new 170,000-square-foot building in its place is expected to be finished by 2020. It’ll feature an open-air, pedestrian walkway so Downtown Mallers can still access Water Street without obstruction. And the mall entryway to the entrepreneurial hot spot’s main lobby will lead to several new retail spaces. The secondary Water Street entrance will serve as a co-work area and a 200-seat auditorium for tenants and community events. And don’t forget the parking—CODE will include bicycle storage, electric vehicle charging stations and one level of underground parking that will easily be convertible to office space “in anticipation of evolving transportation trends.”

On the day of Jason Kessler’s perjury trial, he walked out of the courthouse scot-free when a judge discharged him due to a technicality. Kessler’s been present at several other white nationalists’ hearings, including James Fields’ December 14 hearing (above).

“Yeah I was having a bad day, clearly. I try to be [a nice guy] but I don’t always succeed.” JASON KESSLER

to sign a petition to remove then Vice-Mayor Wes Bellamy from office for offensive tweets he made before being elected. Community members saw it as a racial attack when the right-wing blogger put his hit out on the only African-American city councilor, and Kessler testified that many people would curse him over their shoulder when he asked for their signature.

KESSLER SUBPOENAED C-VILLE REPORTER Two business days before Unite the Right organizer Jason Kessler was scheduled to stand trial on a felony perjury charge March 20 in Albemarle Circuit Court, C-VILLE Weekly reporter Samantha Baars was in Charlottesville General District Court, where a deputy handed her a subpoena to appear as a witness for Kessler. Aside from First Amendment freedom-of-the-press issues, the subpoena posed another problem for the paper’s two-person news team: If Baars were sequestered as a witness, C-VILLE would have no one available to cover a case with considerable local interest. Local attorneys James West and Josh Wheeler volunteered to challenge the subpoena and, with the support of the Rutherford Institute, prepared a motion to quash, which West filed just hours before the trial was scheduled to begin. West says a federal court has identified reasons subpoenaing journalists is a bad idea, including the potential threat of judicial and administrative interference with news gathering. “If reporters are regularly subjected to open-ended subpoenas, they would be thinking of that in their reporting,” he says. “It would appear to turn reporters into an investigative arm of government or private parties.”

And as in C-VILLE’s case, it places a major burden on the limited resources of a small organization, says West. “You could be intentionally harassed. If a reporter has done a long series of articles that were not particularly flattering, [the subject] could subpoena the reporter so she couldn’t cover the trial.” Kessler attorney Mike Hallahan told Baars, who had no first-hand knowledge of Kessler’s sworn statement to a magistrate that he was assaulted, which was the basis of the perjury charge, he was subpoenaing her for an October 10 article in which she’d interviewed Jay Taylor, the man Kessler claimed assaulted him. In court, Hallahan objected to the motion to quash and initially to saying why he wanted Baars as a witness. “He wanted her as an impeachment witness for Taylor,” says West. C-VILLE was unable to reach Hallahan. Judge Cheryl Higgins granted C-VILLE’s motion. “She was proactive in recognizing journalistic privilege,” says West. Reporters in Charlottesville are not often subpoenaed to testify in court, but it’s happened before. A special prosecutor called NBC29’s Henry Graff as a witness in February for a case against Jeff Winder for assaulting Kessler August 13.

In 2007, Charlottesville prosecutor Claude Worrell, now a juvenile court judge, subpoenaed former C-VILLE editor Courteney Stuart, then a reporter for the Hook, to testify in a public drunkenness case. Stuart appeared before Judge William Barkley with a motion to quash. “I cover crime,” she told the judge. “This is drunk in public—a minor crime. This week I’m also covering a capital murder. Am I to be called to testify in every crime I cover?” Barkley denied the motion. At trial, Rutherford attorneys represented Stuart, but the defendants agreed to stipulate her story was accurate and released her as a witness. At that time, Worrell said he would subpoena reporters in the future because their role in a free press “does not mean they can opt out of their responsibility as citizens to provide information.” Such a move “makes reporters an investigative tool of the court or government,” says Rutherford president John Whitehead. “Not a good idea.” It also compromises journalistic integrity, particularly in instances in which a reporter has promised confidentiality to a source, he says. “A subpoena can be used to intimidate reporters and lower their profile,” says Whitehead. “It threatens freedom of the press.”—Lisa Provence

The day the officer stopped Canada, he was staking out the Super 8 parking lot on Greenbrier Drive because it’s “one area with higher than average calls for service,” Holmes testified. He turned his license plate scanner to the nearby 7-Eleven and ran the tags on Johnson’s BMW 7 Series parked in the lot. Albemarle police use a database called PISTOL, which besides providing personal information, also reveals whether one has been a victim, an offender or has visited the jail. Holmes said he recognized Johnson’s name because officers had gone to her apartment on a domestic call, and the system offered up Canada’s name as well. He checked Canada’s driving record and saw that his license had been suspended—all before he knew who was driving the car. When Canada came out of the convenience store, Holmes pulled him.

Another woman who was relieved of her duties said she knew Kessler as the guy who wanted to remove the city’s Confederate war memorials of General Robert E. Lee. “She might be the only person in Albemarle County who thinks Mr. Kessler wants to take the statue down,” said Hallahan after she left the room. There was a brief moment of unity, when the defendant’s supporters and opponents shared one thing: a nervous giggle.

Judge dismisses racial profiling suit against Albemarle cop

Tracci, who could be heard asking his legal team if they had “any ideas” just minutes before the discharge, made a brief statement outside the courthouse that he was “obviously disappointed.”

But when Jay Taylor approached and took the petition from Kessler, reading it for a few moments and calling Kessler an “asshole,” the man on trial for perjury said he perceived a threat. Video evidence shows Kessler slugging Taylor upside the head, but Kessler’s sworn statement to the magistrate at the AlbemarleCharlottesville Regional Jail was that Taylor had assaulted him first, by “violently shaking” his arm when he took the petition from Kessler and making “face to face” contact. In the defense’s opening argument, Hallahan portrayed the result of Taylor’s alleged assaultive behavior by making a swing with his right arm and exclaiming, “BAM!” Hallahan said Kessler acted in self defense, and that his account of what happened was true. On the witness stand, Kessler admitted that “shaking” wasn’t the best word to use and that the “face to face” contact consisted of Taylor standing about a foot away. In April, Kessler pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault of Taylor. During the perjury trial, Taylor testified he was walking on the mall with his dog and a cup of coffee when he saw Kessler, with whom he was acquainted, and asked to read the petition, even though he wasn’t a city voter. Taylor said he felt that the petition was all about creating chaos, and that’s when he handed it back to Kessler and told him he was being an asshole. After Taylor got clobbered, he said Kessler apologized, asked him not to call the cops and said he was just having a “bad day.” “Yeah, I was having a bad day, clearly,” Kessler testified. “I try to be [a nice guy], [but] I don’t always succeed.” It took nearly three hours to seat a jury of 10 men and three women, because more than a dozen of the 60 potential jurors told the judge that they were familiar with the organizer of the Unite the Right rally and Hallahan elected to individually interview that group.

Confederates convicted By Samantha Baars news@c-ville.com

Brian Lambert and Christopher Wayne pose while awaiting the outcome of their March 26 trials. After sentenced to jail time, Lambert said the two would take their punishment like men.

“Brian Brian.” He was charged with public swearing or intoxication and paid the $25 fine on December 28. In the same November interaction, the officer said Lambert made a “spontaneous utterance” that he had cut the tarp off the statue “at least seven times” by that point, and when he was caught doing so—also while apparently drunk—in a January 9 encounter, he told police he was “doing a public service,” according to another officer’s testimony.

“He told me he was never going to stop,” a third officer told the judge. Judge Serkes reminded the men that they couldn’t keep taking matters into their own hands. “That’s why we’re a country of laws,” he said. Outside the courthouse, Lambert took a drag from a cigarette. “We’ll take our punishment like men,” he said. The two plan to appeal their verdicts.

mmediately following a March 26 trial in which Charlottesville’s Brian Lambert was found guilty of multiple charges of trespassing in Emancipation and Justice parks and attempting to remove the tarps from the shrouded statues, Lambert could be seen applying a trail of Confederate flag stickers on surfaces in the direction of the General Robert E. Lee monument. Judge Joseph Serkes had just sentenced him to four years in jail, with all but eight months suspended, in a hearing where Lambert flashed a distinctive hand signal behind his back. With his right thumb forming a circle with his pointer finger, and his three additional digits in the shape of a “W,” he held the “white power” symbol for about 30 seconds before turning to wink at the few people who showed up to support him, including Jason Kessler. Louisa attorney Richard Harry defended Lambert, while Richmonder Christopher Wayne was represented by Thomas Wilson on similar—but fewer—destruction of property and trespassing charges. Wayne was sentenced to three years, of which all were suspended but five months. The Richmond man’s trial was unorthodox, and he engaged in several debates with the judge. Lambert patted him on the back multiple times in what appeared to be an effort to get Wayne to stop talking.

Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Cooper Vaughan said Wayne’s frequent outbursts and repeated tampering with the city’s tarps after being arrested were an indicator of his disrespect for the City Council’s August decision to shroud the Confederate statues while the city mourned the deaths that took place during the summer’s Unite the Right rally. “He’s absolutely right,” Wayne said. “They believe these laws do not apply to them,” said Vaughan, who added that active jail time was the only way to convey to the men that there are consequences for breaking the rules. Lambert also was charged with assaulting the Reverend Seth Wispelwey, a United Church of Christ minister, in the early morning hours of November 5, when the clergy member testified he was walking to his parked car on Second Street when he saw and heard what appeared to be someone cutting down the orange fencing surrounding the Lee monument. Wispelwey said he called out to Lambert that he was trespassing. “He said, ‘Yeah, I’m trespassing. What are you going to do about it?’ And started coming at me with a knife [with a 12-inch blade] in his hand,” said Wispelwey. A Charlottesville police officer testified that when he apprehended Lambert, the man had a box cutter and a firearm on him, but no such knife. Lambert was found not guilty of assault in that interaction, but the officer said he was unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred, and he told the cop his name was

andanna or beads?” asks Cynthia Neff, walking up and down the center aisle of the bus. Hands reach for the bright orange options that will be used to distinguish Charlottesvillians in a sea of hundreds of thousands at the March for Our Lives rally held March 24 in Washington, D.C. Students from area high schools chose the color to represent UVA, but it’s fitting that orange is also the official color of National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Neff is one of the organizers who helped coordinate buses and logistics for the trip to D.C.; she says she learned many lessons from her participation in the Women’s March in January 2017. “What a bitch to plan that was,” says Neff. “Thank god the youth took control of this one.” The youth Neff speaks of are local students, many of whom helped plan their school’s participation in the nationwide walkout on March 14, including Fré Halvorson-Taylor, from Charlottesville High. “Turnout was better than expected [at the walkout], so we knew we had to capitalize on this momentum today—especially in registering people to vote,” Halvorson-Taylor says. “We need to unseat the NRA and NRA-funded politicians. We are going to the march for everyday victims of gun violence, not just those of mass or school shootings.” Halvorson-Taylor says that, despite the recent spike in school shootings, schools are still safer than “our own backyards, parks, our city streets.” Albemarle, Monticello, Charlottesville and Western high schools planned their walkouts together, including writing a joint statement. More than half the student body at each school left class for 17 minutes for speeches, moments of silence, postcardwriting and singing, in honor of the 17 victims of the February 14 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. After the success of the events, the push to send students to D.C. began, led by Parkland students. “We are here to show that even though we are young, we have the ability to organize, vote and make a difference—maybe even more of a difference—like an adult,” says Ashley Clark from CHS. “We are directly impacting the world today.” “Thoughts and prayers aren’t enough,” says Helen Gehle of CHS. “We aren’t just showing solidarity by going, we are saying we need comprehensive policies on gun control.” Gehle hopes to continue a life in social justice and activism, saying she and her classmates “woke up” after the Parkland shooting. Zyahna Bryant and other outspoken students sought Neff for help. She obliged, as did countless other volunteers in the community, including Kristin Clarens, a leader for Families in Action. Locally, several social justice and community groups (Moms Demand Action, Charlottesville Clergy Collection, UVA Student Council and Indivisible Charlottesville, among others) organized a satellite March for Our Lives rally on the Downtown Mall. Clarens invited those who couldn’t attend the D.C. march to contribute in other ways—by donating signs, food and their time. On the eve of the event, she rallied families together at Champion Brewery for

preparations, which included corralling elementary-aged kids into making sandwiches for the older marchers. Elliott Gewirtz, 6, said she doesn’t like peanut butter sandwiches, but enjoyed making them for the marchers. She and others her age were cognizant of the reason they were there. “People have to stop selling guns—the community can make the changes,” Elliott said. She isn’t alone in already thinking about these concepts. Neff says, “I have heard students say they want longer recess or better food at lunch, but I have also heard 7-year-olds ask for bulletproof windows.” A recurring sentiment among older students was the constant feeling of needing to look over their shoulders and be aware of potential shooters, something they say was never on their parents’ minds when they were in school. Echoes of the words “gun” and “safety” were heard scattered throughout the evening as the kids worked in an assembly line to wrap the lunches. “It’s amazing to have the support of the city and see our students use this moment for these issues,” says Clarens.

At sunrise on the morning of the march, City Councilor Wes Bellamy boards bus No. 1 to give a few words of encouragement. “Please have fun and please be loud,” he says. “Let them know Charlottesville is there. The whole city is behind you.” Frosty, pale green fields beneath a soft blue sky rush by as students nap on one of the buses. Chaperones spread cream cheese on bagels, and Neff hands out stickers bearing the phrases #CvilleSaysEnough and #CvilleStrong. The latter was composed as a response to August 12. “The City of Charlottesville communications office had come up with #CvilleStandsForLove,” says Neff, “but Zyahna doesn’t feel that Charlottesville truly does stand for love right now. She wanted something else.” One student tracks the Clark Brothers gun store and shooting range as the bus passes it in Warrenton. Sesame seeds from Bodo’s bagels scatter across the floor with every bump in the road. Two girls in the back giggle quietly as they take turns braiding each other’s hair and tying orange bananas around their heads. A father listens while his son reads the comic book Lumberjanes to him; others listen to music or read magazines to pass the time. The bus is quiet, but not necessarily with apprehension. “The only thing we are afraid of is not getting the message across or not being heard,” says Gehle. Most of the students are experiencing their first protest; many say they look forward to participating in other causes and rallies in the future, whether for the environment, civil rights, equality or education. “A lot of us were freaked out this past year from a blackout, a lockdown and all of the drills,” says Sarah Carter from CHS. She hopes to see stronger and more frequent employment of background checks as a result of the march, along with ammunition sales being restricted. Carter and her peers commend CHS administration, faculty and their principal for having open and candid conversations

about school safety. “It feels like they are really listening to us,” says Carter. The CHS students agree they all felt safe at the school, after being shown emergency plans and having drills, and having the support of some politically outspoken teachers on their side. Other students feel their schools could do more. “Most people didn’t really talk about Parkland; my friends were outraged, and afraid it could happen to us,” says Anna Eldridge of Western. “We only do lockdowns once a year, and felt like we had no plan and don’t know what to do in an emergency.” Murray High student Isabel Eldridge was born several years after the Columbine shooting, but she still cites it as her reason for marching. “Murray is a small school... some students didn’t care, but I wanted to go, and be a part of something today,” she says. “We should have changed laws after Columbine.” As the bus crosses the Potomac River into D.C., the Washington Monument towers over the horizon. When it stops, students unfurl their signs, and organizers tie bright orange balloons to the front of the bus so it is easy to find later. Dozens of other buses fill the lot next to the Redskins stadium, where volunteers hand out free water, and vendors tout their merchandise for the marchers to wear. Though chilly in temperature, the atmosphere is warm. Tragedy at schools and large venues and on the streets has brought hundreds of thousands of people together for what is believed to be one of the largest single-day protests in history. Attendees step through mud puddles and remaining piles of snow, and walk beneath budding cherry and tulip trees. As they march through Capitol Heights, they pass windows bearing signs of support— some Washingtonians step outside to wave and cheer as they go by. Cars honk, prompting students to raise their fists and yell in return. Bicyclists shout “Yes, Charlottesville!” as they ride by. Some residents have set up tables with free water and snacks. One parent chaperone following a few steps back from the students is Diane Beaudoin-Price. She is a mother to three daughters at CHS and Walker Elementary, who are all participating in the march. “The Trump election woke us all up; before, we had been a little more easygoing with activism and issues,” says BeaudoinPrice. “It’s especially pertinent since I have three daughters—I see a lot of activism and care in them.” She says her husband has been sending them supportive messages all day. “There are so many common sense reforms that should happen, because nobody needs a gun beyond hunting or at a sporting place.” Beaudoin-Price cites an oft-stated statistic—that even guns in the house intended for protection increase the chance of injury or death of household members by 11 times, especially for women and children. “Having kids makes you want to stand for something, and for their future,” says Beaudoin-Price. The group strides by the Capitol with upbeat steps. As they pass down the slope toward the hub of the gathering on Third Street between Independence and Pennsylvania avenues, Senator Cory Booker stops to pose with them for a photo.

Local students say the March for Our Lives is indicative that gun violence is a systemic problem, and they echo the march organizers’ message that changes from the top down are imperative.

never wavers. The crowd falls silent, later learning that González’s six minutes and 20 seconds on stage was the exact length of time the Parkland shooting lasted. Chants of “Vote her in!” follow her off stage. Alethia Laughon-Worrell of CHS and Halvorson-Taylor found González’s speech to be the most emotional and moving. “Our safety is something we think about every day when we enter the school,” says Halvorson-Taylor. “Being in Charlottesville, it is compounded by the fact we faced white supremacists last year. We are all aware we need to do something.” Laughon-Worrell agrees, saying, “Doing these kinds of marches is one of the most important things we can do after August 12.” But what needs to be done varies for each attendee. Some believe in changes directly at schools, be it installing metal detectors or adding more security in the hallways. Others are keen on larger policies, or banning semiautomatic weapons and bump stocks. More still believe the answer is voting in November. One CHS student, Hamada Al-Doori, has been affected by gun violence for a large portion of his life. He showed up to the “amazing and successful march” to make a stand and prevent his past from happening at his school. He grew up in Iraq, near Baghdad, and his immediate family came to the U.S. to escape ISIS and the everyday violence. “It sounds sad, but hearing automatic weapons and bombs every day is normal there,” Al-Doori says. “My dad was close to being kidnapped. We had to hide for

months, trapped in cities. Here, I thought we were supposed to be safe.” He admitted he was nervous before the march, but afterward, he had a huge smile on his face. “It was so emotional,” Al-Doori says. “I’m so excited to be here and be part of something. What is happening in Iraq cannot happen here; it cannot become normal.” After the march concludes, the students and chaperones, tired from an emotional and physical day, make their way through the streets, calm and confident in the event’s ringing message. People cheer, high-five and hug. Some Charlottesville students lounge on the slopes of Senate Park, laughing and playing games, in between snapping a few final pictures with their signs. They may have been sitting in the shadow of the Capitol all day, but now the sun shines high overhead, with rays of light streaming through tree branches. Their smiles reflect relief and gratitude as they look toward the sun passing over the Hill, basking in its glow. “The next generation is coming,” says Zoe Weatherford from AHS. “We are willing to put in the work. We are making rallying possible for all to attend. We are ready to talk about the issues and get uncomfortable.” Her friend, Carmen Day, also from AHS, says, “It’s just as important for individuals to show up and take responsibility to make it happen. It never will if you don’t share your opinion.” Both Weatherford and Day are 18 and they are looking forward to voting this November. “We and so many other people are paying attention,” Day says.

gray as he died,” but also of hope: “We see you, we hear you, and we will change the future.” One little girl walks on the stage holding a Parkland student’s hand. “My grandfather had a dream that his four little children would not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character,” she says. A collective gasp rings across the crowd as the connection is made: It’s Martin Luther King Jr.’s granddaughter, 9-year-old Yolanda Renee King. “I have a dream that enough is enough,” Yolanda says. “That this should be a gun-free world. Period.” Three Monticello High School students put their hands to their mouths, their eyes watering. One Parkland student asks the marchers to sing happy birthday to victim Nick Dworet (March 24 would have been his 18th birthday), and everyone sings in unison. Toward the end of the event, three students take the stage, and state their names and ages. Audience members crane their necks and wait for more. “We are from Newtown, Connecticut.” That’s when a UVA Curry School teacherin-training hides her face behind her sign, which reads “Training to be a teacher, not a sharp shooter,” consumed with emotion. Four hundred Sandy Hook survivors, family members and faculty are among the day’s marchers. Parkland shooting survivor Emma González lists the names of each of the school shooting victims, then stares across the vast sea of faces for more than four minutes, tears streaming down her face. Her gaze

March 28 – April 3, 2018 c-ville.com

“We are just so excited to be here,” says Johanna Hall. Her friend and fellow AHS student, Ruby Schaeffer, echoes her statement: “It’s now or never,” she says. The police presence on Constitution Avenue is strong, but non-confrontational. If there are any counterprotesters, they go unnoticed. The Charlottesville group squeezes through the crowd, making its way as far along as it can in the throng of people in puffy winter coats, ducking under signs and skirting around curbs and avoiding stepping on toes. Once settled, everyone hushes and listens intently to the day’s speakers—including students from all over the country who have experienced gun violence—cheering and chanting when appropriate. Tears are wiped away, sunglasses unable to completely shield emotions. “Today is proving that this conversation is popularizing how intersectional this topic is. We have a systematic problem,” says Halvorson-Taylor. Parkland survivor and activist David Hogg affirms that notion when he says “bullets don’t discriminate” in his speech. It wasn’t the breeze that day that brought chills down spines, but rather, the dozens of youth who took the stage, holding hands, all bearing the message of “enough.” Gun violence survivors and those affected by gun violence, people who have lost siblings and friends to bullets, call the audience to action for three hours. Each story is full of pain, details such as “I watched my brother’s face turn

SLOW BURN

PUBLICITY PHOTO

Cigarettes After Sex formed accidentally in 2008, according to the group’s founder, Greg Gonzalez, who says he was experimenting with the dreamy, languorous sound that defines the band. A move to Brooklyn and the release of the single “Affection” resulted in millions of internet clicks, and catapulted the group to its current success with a global tour that includes several sold out headlining gigs, as well as appearances in major festival lineups. $20, 9pm. The Jefferson Theater, 110 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 245-4980.

FLOWER POWER

Jimmy Buffett

For the past eight years, Americana road warriors The Black Lillies have been chasing success like hounds, pushing musical boundaries on tour and in the studio. The independent roots-rockers inspire with a rich mix of tight harmonies cut with country blues, but it’s the group’s chemistry that keeps it rockin’ from festivals and clubs to packed theaters (including the Grand Ole Opry). $15, 6pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.

For local Parrot Heads looking to waste away again on a seashore in their minds, Jimmy Buffett brings his easy listening island tunes and beach ballads to the stage. Combining country, rock and pop, Buffett is often referred to as the “king of Gulf and Western” sound. From his start as an easygoing beach bum playing for drinks in the bars of Key West, to his breakthrough release of “Margaritaville,” Buffett has been spreading good vibes and a love for frozen concoctions around the world. $51.50151.50, 8pm.

Popular (Blue Note) The “great lost” album by the vastly undersung Van Hunt is no longer lost, but it’s pretty great. The Ohio savant caught notice in 2004 with his self-titled debut and Grammy-nominated single “Dust,” then took a leap forward with On the Jungle Floor, and its agile mix of soul, funk, rock and balladry, plus a fab reinvention of Iggy Pop’s “No Sense of Crime.” Blue Note was set to release Popular in 2007, but when Hunt’s label rep was let go, so was he, and the album was shelved. Hunt seemed stung, releasing several knotty, if interesting, records. Then, eclectic producer Don Was took over Blue Note and Hunt dropped him a line, and boom. In August, Popular escaped the can, brimming with Hunt’s studio prowess, unconventional vision and usual range, plus the surprise countrified soul of “N the Southern Shade.”

Caroline Rose Loner (New West) Caroline Rose opens Loner with a critique of hip conformity, decrying the party where “they all have alternative haircuts and straight white teeth.” The song is called “More of the Same”; unluckily, Loner sounds like a collection of pumped up indie-rock

tracks ready-made for commercials. The song title is apt in the sense that she’s ditched the raucous-folkie shtick of her debut, I Will Not Be Afraid, in favor of something more polished and poppy. But while Rose’s reverbed yelp carries personality, it doesn’t overcome the glistening yet generic settings. Rose actually becomes tedious over the course of Loner, and her one-dimensional takes on sexist boneheads and materialist matrons feel as rote as the MGMT ripoff “Jeannie Becomes a Mom.”

Dungen/Woods Myths 003 (Mexican Summer) The Apollonian acid artists from Sweden toured with the indie-folk rocker from Brooklyn in 2009, culminating in a festival at Big Sur, which Dungen’s Gustav Ejstes properly declared “f*ckin’ sick.” So while collaborations are crapshoots by nature, Woods and Dungen seems a promising combination—especially considering Myths 003 was recorded last year following another famously inspiring confab, the Marfa Myths festival. Though the opening “Loop” sounds a bit more like Tinariwen-meets-King Gizzard, Myths 003 ebbs and flows gracefully between the two groups’ characteristic elements, with Woods’ Jeremy Earl’s nerdy croon taking a turn on the San

Fran folk rock of “Turn Around,” and Dungen’s dreamy psychedelia emerging on the lovely “Marfa Sunset.” The inane groove of “Saint George” is the one misstep and seems forgivable, almost a reminder of the artistry involved in the remainder of the deceptively casual Myths 003.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Gumboot Soup (Flightless) As for King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, the group’s latest is Gumboot Soup, which bandleader Stu Mackenzie declared “definitely not B-sides or anything.” But what do such hierarchies even mean to a band that releases five albums in one year? Mackenzie’s protest makes sense, in that Gumboot Soup collects leftovers from the previous four albums—and since they all had a sonic thread, from the hipster lounge jazz of Sketches of Brunswick East to the frenetic hard-prog of Murder of the Universe, this collection is bound to sound disjointed by comparison. Sure enough, while hard psych is the default, you also get the slinky “I’m Sleepin’ In,” the doom-lite “The Great Chain of Being” and the skronky funk “Down the Sink.” As a band, King Gizz is a well-oiled machine—if Mackenzie ever embraces melody, look out.—Nick Rubin

music venue is a strange place to be in the middle of the day. A club is designed for the nighttime, with its dark walls, ceilings and stages meant to be illuminated not by the sun but by bright lights, coming alive when bodies are in the room and music is in the air. This is true at The Ante Room, where, on a sunny Thursday, Jeyon Falsini sits in an office chair, wearing jeans and a black and white T-shirt bearing the logo of Richmond hip-hop collective Gritty City Records. Falsini crosses his arms and tips back in his chair. “It’s been fun,” he says, looking around the room at the roulette wheel painted on the wall and the bathroom doors painted to look like king and queen playing cards. “It’d have been six years in July.” The Ante Room will close on March 31, after an All Bets Are Off party. The building is set to be demolished this summer, along with the Main Street Arena ice rink and the iconic Charlottesville gay bar and bohemian hangout, Escafé. A retail and commercial office development, CODE (Center of Developing Entrepreneurs), will be built on the space that has held some of Charlottesville’s most vibrant and diverse cultural spots. “It’s hard to think past unscrewing all these screws, taking all this stuff down,” especially after putting years of work into the place, Falsini says. But he has a request for those who have enjoyed the venue in its five years and nine months in business at 219 W. Water St.: “Say a little prayer, however you do it,” because he’s looking for a new space to keep the venue’s spirit going. And it’s important that he does, say area musicians. “No one in Charlottesville [is] more supportive of local music than Jeyon,” says Nate Bolling, a chamber pop and rock musician who’s run sound and taken the stage at The Ante Room dozens of times. Remy St. Clair, a Charlottesville hip-hop artist and frequent Ante Room event host, says, “We are losing a home when it comes to urban music and art.” Falsini got his start booking music at Atomic Burrito in the early 2000s, and eventually started his own company, Magnus Music, booking talent for restaurant-bars like The Whiskey Jar and Rapture and some local wineries and breweries. He opened The Ante Room (initially called The Annex) in July 2013 so that he could put together multi-act bills that would draw attention to the music itself. Local musicians and music fans will tell you that The Ante Room has one of the most, if not the most, inclusive show calendars in town. Falsini books hip-hop, Amer-

The Ante Room, operated by Jeyon Falsini (below), will close its doors on March 31, due to the demolition of the Main Street Arena complex. Falsini hopes to relocate the popular live-music venue and continue his support of local musicians, particularly hip-hop and metal acts, such hard rock and metal band Congenial Crime, pictured here.

icana singer-songwriters, alternative rock, moody rock, goth, new wave, metal, experimental electronic, jam bands, Afrobeat, go-go; salsa dance nights and Indian dance parties; karaoke nights and rap-centric social affairs. He’s served beers to curlers and hockey players who venture upstairs after games at the arena, too. In particular, The Ante Room has been a haven for the hip-hop and metal scenes, two genres that are often unfairly stereotyped by—and thus not booked at—many venues in Charlottesville. Falsini says yes to both. There’s no reason not to, he says. “The Ante Room was a welcoming place to genres that mainstream Charlottesville doesn’t seem to value,” says Kim Dylla, Fulton

Jeyon Falsin

Ave. heavy metal vocalist. Recognizing various genres of music and cultures is an acknowledgment of “diversity of thought,” she says, something Dylla feels The Ante Room has supported more than other local venues. Travis Thatcher, an electronic musician, agrees. He says The Ante Room has been “a really inclusive space that was kind of up for anything,” including his Frequencies experimental music series. Falsini is quick to credit small DIY venues like Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar, Magnolia House and Trash House, which also welcome a wide variety of music. The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative and Champion Brewing Company host occasional shows, as does La Patrona, newly open in the former Outback Lodge space on Preston Avenue. Falsini also hopes that the larger venues in town will begin to see the value of booking a wider variety of genres. “If there’s one [good] thing that’s happening...with two nightlife spots closing,” people are dispersing and going elsewhere, Falsini says. “Other local businesses will be fortunate enough to meet our customers.” Much is still up in the air about the next iteration of The Ante Room, but Falsini’s hustling to find the right spot. He’ll book the same variety of genres, but it’s unlikely that his new venue would be downtown. “Wherever it is, we’ll have to blaze new territory,” says Falsini. And he’s fine with that—it’s what he did with The Ante Room, after all, and the music community has benefited from his wager. “We can’t give up now,” says Falsini. He’s all in.

ARTS THE WORKS

Seeing twice By Elizabeth Derby arts@c-ville.com

Paul Trebilcock’s “Mia Sposa, 1929” is on exhibit in “Feminine Likeness: Portraits of Women by American Artists, 1809-1950” at The Fralin Museum of Art through April 29.

As part of her fellowship, Camp was tasked with putting together an exhibition that draws from The Fralin’s collection. Under the mentorship of former curator Rebecca Schoenthal, she developed a show that features portrait painters such as Thomas Sully, Rembrandt Peale, George Luks and others. Through changes in fashion, accessories, facial expression and pose, the images on view reveal changes in expectations for women themselves.

tanding in The Fralin Museum of Art at UVA, surrounded by paintings from across the 19th and 20th centuries, you notice something about the passage of time in the museum’s current exhibition, “Feminine Likeness: Portraits of Women by American Artists, 1809-1950.” There’s a subtle shift as years slip by, a transformation in the representation of femininity and codes of womanhood. But if the work makes it seem that artists do the representing, you’re only seeing half the story. “It was always a give and take between artists and the people being painted,” says curator Jennifer Camp. “A lot of these portraits reflect the self-representation of the sitter as much as the representation or painting by the artist.” In other words, the faces of women on display don’t belong exclusively to those who wield the brush. It’s a dialogue that

echoes changing norms on both sides of the canvas. Camp, who is the Barringer-Lindner Curatorial Fellow at The Fralin and a Ph.D. candidate in history of American art and architecture at UVA, sees the collection as an opportunity for viewers to consider how they present themselves to the world “via imagery, or art, or even something as silly as the selfie,” she says. Camp has long been fascinated by 20thcentury American art, which stands at the nexus of social and visual experimentation. “When you study American art, one of the first things you learn about is the Armory Show, which was a huge exhibition in New York that upended the art world and created all sorts of scandals,” she says. “It was where people were first introduced to cubism as well as other avant-garde movements.” Camp’s interest in the shifts of social and cultural expectations, as well as visual language used by artists, led to the concept of “Feminine Likeness.”

COURTESY OF THE FRALIN MUSEUM OF ART

‘Feminine Likeness’ explores two sides of the canvas

“In the 19th century, only the very wealthiest people could typically afford [portraits],” says Camp. “Portraiture was very much about the accurate likeness, about conveying status and wealth. ...Mather Brown shows a woman holding a letter. Letter writing was a sign of decorum as well as education. “In the 20th century, you see a shift towards a brighter pallet, looser brush strokes, some more inventive posing. Henry Glintenkamp, the 1920s artist who has the final portrait of the show, depicts an older woman sort of staring off into the distance, surrounded by these small vignettes that seem to be depicting scenes from her life. It’s done in the very sort of cubist manner, with jagged lines, harsh angles, deep shadows and kind of distorted proportions. He’s less interested in straightforward naturalism and more interested in the inner character of this woman, in her feelings and emotions.” Camp sees this shift as a response not only to the growing accessibility of photography, which rendered exact likenesses with ease, but women’s changing status in society. In the 1920s, she points out, women had recently gained the right to vote, and flappers were considered much more liberated than their mothers and grandmothers. “The audience response to art can tell you a lot about whether the culture at large is ready for that idea,” Camp says. “It’s interesting to think about whether or not art can actually be a vehicle for social change. Why or why not?”

uillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim— like pretty much all of his films, including The Shape of Water— was a tribute to the genres he loved that lack mainstream recognition, in this case a fusion of Toho kaiju monsters and mech suit anime where there is as much drama inside the suits as there is out, most notably Gundam and “Neon Genesis Evangelion.” It was quite a lot of fun, where even the most valid complaints, like flat characterizations and rushed exposition with lore that is never fully explained were intentional and genre-appropriate. The only problem it could not escape was the frustrating decision to stage all of the fights at night in the rain, thereby obscuring the creature and mecha design and dulling what ought to have been the greatest visual treat of 2013. Its sequel, Pacific Rim Uprising (directed by Steven S. DeKnight), has none of the nerdy charm of its predecessor, and expands the lore while cheapening its effectiveness. But at least you can see what’s happening this time. Pick your poison. The story picks up 10 years after the war against the kaiju has been won. Some cities have been rebuilt, others are still lying in rubble. An underground economy has formed around the theft of tech found in the abandoned mecha, known as jagers. Jake Pentecost (John Boyega), the son of war hero and legendary jager pilot Stacker

Pentecost (Idris Elba, of the previous film), lives in this world, staying one step ahead of being caught by the criminals he does business with and the authorities who tolerate him so long as he minimizes the trouble he causes. When a heist goes wrong, he encounters Amara Namani (Cailee Spaeny), a teenage tech prodigy who has illegally built her own miniature jager in preparation for if the kaiju come back. The pair are caught by the authorities, and are given a deal: Go to prison, or join the fight in an official capacity, as trainer and cadet. Many of the performances are solid despite being one-dimensional characters, but that is not something you can hold against this film any more than you can against the original. Spaeny shows tremendous promise in her ability to bring raw emotion to Amara; she is driven by revenge, but her personality is not reduced to a bundle of raw nerves. She’s a believable teenager given the way growing up in this world has shaped her. Boyega is charming as ever, though the role rests entirely on his screen presence. Scott Eastwood finally feels like he belongs in movies like this instead of being there because some super

agent insisted, and Charlie Day is better utilized here than he was in the original. Then there are the monster fights. Yep, they’re pretty dang cool and look great, but why they’re happening is far less engaging than in the first Pacific Rim, which had charm and inspiration to carry it across other flaws that might exist. It was a statement in its own

right, while Uprising as a sequel is entirely conventional. It can be engaging momentto-moment, but is instantly forgettable. And through it all is the why factor: In the first film, they need to save people from monsters. Great! Thrilling! Why is any of it really happening? Who cares? There are monsters that need punching! Here, there’s stuff about alien races, blood, rare earths and corporate conspiracies that only delay the appearance of monsters or robots, which are the entire reason you bought the ticket in the first place. On a final note: Please, studios and filmmakers, when releasing sequels, please make the subtitle memorable in its own right. Imagine if people only said “Uprising,” would anyone know what movie you’re talking about? And it’s exhausting to cycle through, trying to remember if this one is Redemption, Revelations or Origins.

Lethal lilies As spring blooms, beware of flowers toxic to pets By Mike Fietz, DVM

Andy I’m a happy-go-lucky guy who can’t wait to explore all this world has to offer. I love to go on walks but am still working on my leash manners. Just bring some yummy snacks—I’m very food motivated.

Vinny I’ll win you over with my best Elvis impersonation—a curled lip and swing of my hips. I love to be held and will snuggle with you after chasing my tail or playing with toys. And I think other kitties are the cat’s meow.

t’s not yet safe to think that spring has fully sprung, but as the occasional warm days sneak back onto the calendar, it’s hard to resist cracking the windows and cleaning the house in preparation for brighter weather. In my case, that optimistic spirit invariably leads to the purchase of a few houseplants. Ignoring all prior experience, I believe this just has to be the year in which I’ll finally keep them alive for more than a week and a half. If you live with animals, your choice of botanical decor should depend on more than just appearances. Unfortunately, some of the most beautiful plants are also the most dangerous. Those fiery tiger lilies might look fantastic in the garden, and the Easter lily on your kitchen table might be appropriate

Those fiery tiger lilies might look fantastic in the garden, and the Easter lily on your kitchen table might be appropriate for the holiday, but they are outright deadly to cats.

rate. The lily of the valley belongs to an entirely different family of plant and doesn’t cause renal failure in cats. But don’t relax just yet. Instead, it contains compounds called glycosides that can disrupt the normal function of the heart. Still other pretenders include peace lilies and calla lilies. These unrelated plants are also toxic, but in a far lesser sense. Instead, they contain microscopic crystals called oxalates that can cause serious inflammation of the mouth, throat and stomach when ingested. They won’t kill anybody, but they can leave curious pets with a mouthful of regret. I suppose it’s nice to know that not all lilies are cat killers, but the others still deal their share of damage. When it comes to preparing my home for spring, I think I’ll just leave any lilies out of it. It’s clearly the safest choice for my pets’ well-being. And given my track record with plants, it’s probably best for the lilies as well.

toms to kick in, and fatal kidney failure follows within a day or two. If a cat is caught in the act, prompt treatment to empty the stomach and provide hospitalized supportive care can save its life. But because lilies are often grown outdoors, ingestion frequently goes unrecognized until the damage is done. These cases may still benefit from aggressive treatment, but the prognosis is sadly more doubtful. Oddly, cats are the only animals known to be affected by this particular toxicity. Other animals, including dogs, can eat these plants with only a bit of stomach upset to show for it. Adding further confusion is the fact that not all lilies are lilies. Not technically, at any

The offending compound hasn’t been identified, but it makes quick work of a cat’s kidneys when ingested, even in a small amount. It doesn’t matter if they chew on the leaves, stem or petals. There is even evidence that the plant’s pollen is as toxic as the plant itself. Regardless, it only takes a few hours for symp-

LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY LIVING FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

By Rob Brezsny

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The Finnish word kalsarikännit means getting drunk at home alone in your underwear and bingeing on guilty pleasures. It’s a perfect time for you to do just that. The Fates are whispering, “Chill out. Vegetate. Be ambitionless.” APRIL FOOL! I told a half-truth. In fact, now is a perfect time to excuse yourself from trying too hard and doing too much. You can accomplish wonders and marvels by staying home and bingeing on guilty pleasures in your underwear. But there’s no need to get drunk.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Actor Gary Busey is very sure there are no mirrors in heaven. He has other specific ideas about the place, as well. This became a problem when he was filming the movie Quigley, in which his character Archie visits heaven. Busey was so enraged at the director’s mistaken rendering of paradise that he got into a fist fight with another actor. I hope you will show an equally feisty fussiness in the coming weeks, Gemini. APRIL FOOL! I lied, sort of. On the one hand, I do hope you’ll be forceful as you insist on expressing your high standards. Don’t back down! But on the other hand, refrain from pummeling anyone who asks you to compromise.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): In the Scots language still spoken in parts of Scotland, eedle-doddles are people who can’t summon initiative when it’s crunch time. They are so consumed in trivial or irrelevant concerns that they lose all instinct for being in the right place at the right time. I regret to inform you that you are now at risk of being an eedle-doddle. APRIL FOOL! I lied. In fact, the truth is just the opposite. I have rarely seen you so well-primed to respond vigorously and bravely to big magic moments. For the foreseeable future, you are King or Queen of Carpe Diem.

Leo

Aries (March 21-April 19): A few years ago, a New Zealander named Bruce Simpson announced plans to build a cruise missile at his home using parts he bought legally from eBay and other online stores. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you initiate a comparable project. For example, you could arrange a do-it-yourself space flight by tying 1,000 helium balloons to your lawn chair. APRIL FOOL! I lied. Please don’t try lunatic schemes like the helium balloon space flight. Here’s the truth: Now is a favorable time to initiate big, bold projects, but not foolish, big, bold projects. The point is to be both visionary and practical.

need to come down to earth and hang out more with us little people. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, now is prime time to hone your power and glory; to indulge your urge to shine and dazzle; to be as conspicuously marvelous as you dare to be.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming days will be an excellent time to concoct an alchemical potion that will heal your oldest wounds. For best results, mix and sip a gallon of potion using the following magic ingredients: absinthe, chocolate syrup, cough medicine, dandelion tea, cobra venom and worm’s blood. APRIL FOOL! I mixed a lie in with a truth. It is a fact that now is a fine time to seek remedies for your ancient wounds. But the potion I recommended is bogus. Go on a quest for the real cure.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I expect you will soon receive a wealth of exotic and expensive gifts. For example, a benefactor may finance your vacation to a gorgeous sacred site or give you the deed to an enchanted waterfall. I won’t be surprised if you’re blessed with a solid gold bathtub or a year’s supply of luxury cupcakes. It’s even possible that a sugar daddy or sugar momma will fork over $500,000 to rent an auditorium for a party in your honor. APRIL FOOL! I distorted the truth. I do suspect you’ll get more goodies than usual in the coming weeks, but they’re likely to come in the form of love and appreciation, not flashy material goods. (For best results, don’t just wait around for the goodies to stream in; ask for them.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There’s a narrow waterway between Asia and Europe. In the fifth century B.C., Persian King Xerxes had two

bridges built across it so he could invade Greece with his army. But a great storm swept through and smashed his handiwork. Xerxes was royally peeved. He ordered his men to whip the uncooperative sea and brand it with hot irons, all the while shouting curses at it, such as “You are a turbid and briny river.” I recommend that you do something similar, Scorpio. Has nature done anything to inconvenience you? Show it who’s the supreme boss! APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, now is an excellent time for you to become more attuned and in love with a higher power, however you define that. What’s greater than you and bigger than your life and wilder than you can imagine? Refine your practice of the art of surrender.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Fifteenth-century Italian painter Filippo Lippi was such a lustful womanizer that he sometimes found it tough to focus on making art. At one point, his wealthy and politically powerful patron Cosimo de’ Medici, frustrated by his extracurricular activities, imprisoned him in his studio to ensure he wouldn’t get diverted. Judging from your current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suspect you need similar constraints. APRIL FOOL! I fibbed a little. I am indeed worried you’ll get so caught up in the pursuit of pleasure that you’ll neglect your duties. But I won’t go so far as to suggest you should be locked up for your own good.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is a favorable time to slap a lawsuit on your mom in an effort to make her pay for the mistakes she made while raising you. You could also post an exposé on social media in which you reveal her shortcomings, or organize a protest rally outside her house with your friends holding signs demanding she apologize for how she

messed you up. APRIL FOOL! Everything I just said was ridiculous and false. The truth is, now is a perfect moment to meditate on the gifts and blessings your mother gave you. If she is still alive, express your gratitude to her. If she has passed on, do a ritual to honor and celebrate her.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Alice Walker won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Color Purple. She has also published 33 other books and built a large audience. But some of her ideas are not exactly mainstream. For example, she says that one of her favorite authors is David Icke, who asserts that intelligent extraterrestrial reptiles have disguised themselves as humans and taken control of our planet’s governments. I bring this to your attention, because I think it’s time that you, too, reveal the full extent of how crazy you really are. APRIL FOOL! I halflied. While it’s true that now is a favorable time to show more of your unconventional and eccentric sides, I don’t advise you to go full-on wacko.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Warning! Danger! You are at risk of contracting a virulent case of cherophobia! And what exactly is cherophobia? It’s a fear of happiness. It’s an inclination to dodge and shun joyful experiences because of the suspicion that they will disappoint you or cause bad luck. Please do something to stop this insidious development. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is that you are currently more receptive to positive emotions and delightful events than you’ve been in a long time. There’s less than a 1 percent chance you will fall victim to cherophobia. Expanded weekly audio horoscopes and daily text message horoscopes: Real Astrology.com, 1-877-873-4888.

(July 23-Aug. 22): Paul McCartney likes to periodically act like a regular person who’s not a famous musician. He goes grocery shopping without bodyguards. He rides on public transportation and strikes up conversations with random strangers. I think you may need to engage in similar behavior yourself, Leo. You’ve become a bit too enamored with your own beauty and magnificence. You really do
