Since Ive been
here at the Week-
ender, the second
week of July usually
means we spend a
long and hot day at
the Vans Warped
Tour.
At first, our time
at Warped was talk-
ing to festivalgoers,
watching perform-
ances from the doz-
ens of bands on the
bill, stopping at many
of the vendor and
band tents and just
taking the whole darn
thing in.
Last year, though, the Week-
ender got in on the action and
had some performances and
band signings of our own on
the party deck near the entrance
to the lawn.
When this years Warped hits
Toyota Pavilion at Montage
Mountain Thursday, July 14,
were going even bigger on our
deck, teaming with our cousins
up at Go Lackawanna to present
autograph signings with bands
like I Set My Friends On Fire,
Miss May, Dance Gavin Dance
and locals Motionless In White.
As if thats not enough, well
also have acoustic performances
and meet and greets from Every
Avenue, River City Extension,
Street Dogs, Terrible Things,
Shut Up & Deal, D.R.U.G.S.,
Go Radio, MC Lars with Weerd
Science and Kyle Demko of
Always Undecided.
To get in on the action, all
you have to do is stop by our
party deck and hang out. Ill be
there, decked out in our new
fangled T-shirts, to give away
some swag and revel in a day of
music under the summer sun.
To see times, updates, photos,
videos and more live from
Warped, visit www.weeken-
derNEPA.tumblr.com. In this
weeks issue, see pages 33,
38-39 and 42 to learn more
about some of the bands on this
years bill, including how some
of them feel about playing the
festival.
Hope to see you all up on the
mountain Thursday, and as al-
ways, thanks for reading!

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
IMPATIENT INEBRATION
On May 21, Jesse Robinson
either established or tied the
unofficial world record for
unluckiest underage drinker of
all time when he was booked
into the Hamilton County,
Ohio, jail for underage con-
sumption. According to booking
records, Robinsons date of
birth is May 22, 1990.
GOVERNMENT IN ACTION!
-- In June, as five young
men gathered around the Mount
Tabor Reservoir near Portland,
Ore., one urinated in it, thus
contaminating the 7.2 million
gallons that serve the city, and,
said Water Bureau administrator
David Shaff, necessitating that
the entire supply be dumped.
Under questioning by the week-
ly Portland Mercury whether
the water is also dumped when
an animal urinates in it (or
worse, dies in it), Shaff replied,
certainly not. If we did that,
wed be (dumping the water) all
the time. Well, asked the re-
porter, whats the difference?
Because, said Shaff (sounding
confident of his logic), Do
you want to be drinking some-
ones pee?
-- A 53-year-old man com-
mitted suicide in May by wad-
ing into San Francisco Bay, 150
yards offshore, and standing
neck-deep until he died in the
60-degree water, with police
and firefighters from the city of
Alameda watching from shore
the entire time. Said a police
lieutenant, Were not trained to
go into the water (and) dont
have the type of equipment that
you would use .... KGO-TV
attributed the reluctance to
budget cuts that prevented the
citys firefighters from being
recertified in water rescues.
THE ARISTOCRATS!
(1) Brent Kendall, 31, was
arrested in June in Coralville,
Iowa, and charged with criminal
mischief after he allegedly reac-
ted to a domestic quarrel with
his live-in girlfriend by cutting
up items of her clothing and
urinating on her bed and com-
puter. (2) An employee of Bed,
Bath and Beyond at the St.
Davids Square shopping center
in Radnor, Pa., reported to
police on June 5 that, for the
second time in two weeks, he
had come across a bag (esti-
mated to weigh about 35
pounds) behind the store, filled
with human vomit.
CRIMINALS WITH
CHUTZPAH
It was a 2004 gang-related
murder that had frustrated Los
Angeles police for four years
until a homicide investigator,
paging through gangbangers
photographs for another case,
spotted an elaborate tattoo on
the chest of Anthony Garcia.
Evidently, that 2004 killing was
such a milestone in Garcias
life that he had commemorated
the liquor store crime scene on
his chest. The investigation was
reopened, eventually leading to
a surreptitious confession by
Garcia and, in April 2011, to
his conviction for first-degree
murder. (Photos from Garcias
several bookings between 2004
and 2008 show his mural ac-
tually evolving as he added
details until the crime scene
was complete enough that the
investigator recognized it.)
LEAST COMPETENT
NON-CRIMINALS
In May, in Rensselaer, N.Y.,
and in June, in Bluefield,
W.Va., two men, noticing that
police were investigating nearby,
became alarmed and fled out of
fear of being arrested since
both were certain that there
were active warrants out on
them. Nicholas Volmer, 21,
eventually escaped into the
Hudson River and needed to be
rescued, but the police were
after someone else, and no
warrant was on file against
him. Arlis Dempsey Jr., 32, left
his three kids on the street in
Bluefield to make a run for it
before police caught him, but
he was not wanted for anything,
either. (Both men, however,
face new charges -- trespassing
for Volmer, and child endanger-
ment for Dempsey.)
RECURRING THEMES
(1) People sometimes have
illicit sex in cemeteries, and
when they get really aggressive,
tombstones may fall over on
top of them. (A randy 39-year-
old woman was injured in Ha-
milton, N.J., in June after a
gravestone rolled onto her leg
at the Ahavath Israel Cemetery.)
(2) Motorists who stop along
the side of the road at night to
relieve themselves are often not
careful enough. (In May, a
specialty unit from the Renton,
Wash., Fire Department was
required in order to rescue a
urinator who accidentally fell
down a 30-foot embankment in
south King County and was
trapped for several hours.)
A NEWS OF THE WEIRD
CLASSIC (NOVEMBER
1992)
A 38-year-old man, uni-
dentified in news reports, was
hospitalized in Princeton, W.
Va., in October (1992) with
gunshot wounds. He had been
drinking beer and reported
accidentally shooting himself
three times as he attempted
to clean each of his three guns.
He said the first shot didnt
hurt, the second stung a little,
and the third really hurt,
prompting him to call an ambu-
lance. W

Box 18737, Tampa FL 33679
POLICE REPORT: Gregory Snelling, 41, was
indicted in June for the robbery of a KeyBank
branch in Springfield, Ohio, which was notable
more for the foot chase with police afterward.
They caught him, but Snelling might deserve
style points for the run, covered as he was in
red dye from the money bag and the fact that he
was holding a beer in his hand during the entire
chase.

The Gamer
By Dale Culp
Weekender Correspondent
A
s the space shuttle Atlantis
lifted off last week, I
couldnt help but think
about the progress technology
has made in the past 30 years.
In the bittersweet moment of
seeing Atlantis safely off on its
final mission the final mis-
sion of the entire space shuttle
program I thought about
where games, computers, com-
munications and other tech-
nologies were at the time.
The laser disc, the Atari 2600,
the IBM TRS-80, the Apple II
these were all late 70s/early 80s
technologies that were sitting on
the cutting edge, promising a
breakthrough to a whole new
world at the dawn of the in-
formation age. Everything was
getting smaller, faster and better.
The world itself was shrinking.
Even as the shuttle gave us a
whole new way to work and
explore outer space, we were
finding new ways to work and
explore inner space. We were
able to communicate with the
globe in seconds rather than
minutes, transmit and transfer
large amounts of data for cheaper
than ever, and we were doing it
with devices that were small
enough to fit right in our own
homes.
Of course, these days, wed
find such technology embarrass-
ingly inadequate. In fact, it feels
cliche to point out how powerful
cell phones have become in com-
parison to those early desktop
computers. But just because
something is old doesnt mean
its bad. Likewise, just because a
computer isnt powerful by
todays standards doesnt
mean its useless.
While its true that the shuttles
main computer operates on about
1 megabyte of RAM, thats only
because it doesnt need any more
than that. While the number of
things that need to be monitored,
adjusted and calculated during
something as complex as a
launch sequence would boggle
the mind of the person at the
helm of that gargantuan beast, for
a computer, all its doing is exe-
cuting a bunch of codes and
commands that fit in about the
same space as a minutes worth
of music.
To put it another way, it would
be almost as embarrassing to
look at what exactly we do with
our nigh-omnipotent devices.
Would you use a big rig, 18-
wheel tractor trailer to deliver
one letter? When you think about
it, using an iPhone to send a text
message is about the same thing.
The most taxing thing we do
with our modern computers is
play video games. Think about
how trivial and inconsequential
that is compared to, say, strap-
ping humans to a few billion
dollars worth of parts and shoot-
ing them into outer space. Again,
its kind of embarrassing, but no
less amazing.
The things we take for granted
cell phones, GPS, global
television broadcasts, satellite
radio and even video games
wouldnt be possible if we didnt
have a space program. Were
essentially wasting our lives away
and patting ourselves on the back
while not giving any thought to
the fact that we wouldnt have
half the conveniences we do
today if not for Cold-War tech-
nology developed more than half
a century ago. They were sending
rockets into space; were sending
virtual birds into imaginary
buildings. Were playing with
toys based on the same tech-
nology that once developed
weapons of mass destruction.
Then again, Im much happier
knowing that this is what became
of it all; that we decided to play
games instead of wiping our-
selves out so far.
Im taking this moment to pay
homage to something wonderful
that is quickly fading into history.
We remember and learn from the
tragic losses, but we are inspired
by the astonishing achievements
of the past 30 years. Heres to the
future, and what dreams may
come. W
Through time and
space
Things we take for granted cell phones, GPS, global
television broadcasts, satellite radio and even video
games wouldnt be possible if we didnt have a space
program.

weapons of mass destruction.

chieving substantial na-
tional attention in 2010
with the unyielding single,
Like A G6, Far East Movement
Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif
and DJ Virman is riding the
wave of excitement over its un-
conventional, downtown sound
all the way to the top, and the
group will be stopping in Scran-
ton at the Toyota Pavilion at
Montage Mountain with Lil
Waynes I Am Still Music tour
Tuesday, July 19.
The Weekender caught up with
Kev Nish and Prohgress while
they were in Cologne, Germany,
with the tour to get the low-down
on what keeps them wired.
WEEKENDER: Your group
has a very unique, fresh sound.
How would you describe it, and
how did you develop it?
KEV NISH: We call our
sound Free Wired. We grew up
off our iPod playlists and the
many different music scenes in
Los Angeles, including hip-hop
open mics, punk shows, Top 40
clubs and early-morning raves.
Wed take all that into the studio
and mash up it for each track. No
one sound defined us until we
started mashing it all up to make
Free Wired.
WEEKENDER: The Free
Wired concept of staying con-
nected to fans seems integral to
the group. Why?
PROHGRESS: Before we
were signed, connecting with our
fanbase online was what kept us
alive and inspired. Now it plays
an even larger role in what we
do. It was the Free-Wired heads
online that broke our single
Like a G6 and their organic
plays online brought it to every-
ones attention. Free Wired is
lifestyle, so being able to show
all aspects of it directly to our
online family is very important.
WEEKENDER: When you
write music, what is that proc-
ess usually like?
PROHGRESS: Well either
bring an idea into the studio that
was inspired by being at a club,
or growing up in L.A. From there
well come up with different
sounds we want to blend together
to get that feeling. Next well
usually write the hooks, verses
and bridges together until it
sounds like something we all dig.
WEEKENDER: Has L.A.
been a huge influence for the
group?
KEV: DTLA (Downtown Los
Angeles) has influenced every
aspect of Far East Movement. All
the clubs, music scenes and loft
parties we threw influenced our
sound and the diversity of our
crew. Our DTLA crew is called
The Transparent Agency, made
from a bunch of outside-the-box
Free Wired creative people in
music, fashion, photography,
filmmaking and design. It keeps
everything we do all organic,
real and in-house.
WEEKENDER: How did
you get involved with Lil
Waynes tour?
PROHGRESS: We have to
thank Lil Wayne and his manage-
ment team for inviting us. We
love the diverse line up and the I
Am Still Music idea of diversity
and eclecticness is what we were
raised on. Waynes catalogue and
ideas are always outside the box,
so this was an exciting opportu-
nity for us to do something dif-
ferent from any tour weve ever
been on.
WEEKENDER: What can
fans expect from your show in
Scranton?
KEV: For the live show, we
bring Free Wired to life, keeping
the base of three MCs and a DJ,
blending hip-hop, pop, rock and
dance electro. We grew up on
high-energy shows from Linkin
Park, Beastie Boys and more, so
we always want to keep the ener-
gy up.
WEEKENDER: Whats up
next for the group?
PROHGRESS: We just put
out a video for our single So
What off the Free Wired
album, where we pay homage to
the Beastie Boys, who were a big
inspiration to us. The song has
been growing online, which is
cool, because its the same way
we started. Weve been hitting
studios in different countries on
tour to work on our next album
and getting a recording bus to
finish it during this upcoming
tour. Were just super excited to
be making music every day while
on tour and still being able to put
on a great show for our fans! W

hroughout a baseball sea-
son, dedicated fans will
become familiar with the
teams they love, learn all the statis-
tics of opposing teams and make
sure that if any baseball-related
conversations were to happen, they
wont be the unprepared, black
sheep of the group.
Within a fewmonths of the
season, an all-star game is conduct-
ed and assembled with a chosen
group of established stars. The fans
that attend are usually familiar with
the talented players and travel
miles to see themin person.
Baseball isnt the only institution
that has a tradition like this.
Literatures influence on North-
eastern Pennsylvania will be on
display fromJuly14-17 as Keys-
tone College will host its version of
an all-star game: The 5th Anni-
versary of The Gathering.
The all-stars include former U.S.
Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize
winner Ted Kooser, architect and
author Witold Rybczynski and
award-winning architect Peter
Bohlin and others who will be
giving lectures, leading workshops
and presenting speeches about the
books they have written. They will
make the campus of Keystone
College their field.
Edward G. Boehm, the president
of Keystone College, wanted to
find a way to not only bring more
people to the campus during the
summer, but to add more art to the
campus.
In the summer, the campus is
beautiful, so he felt some program-
ming was needed, said Charlotte
Ravaioli, the senior advisor to the
president and a primary planner of
The Gathering.
Being that Keystone College has
a very strong communication
program, Ravaioli, among other
literary professionals, felt that a
literary conference would make
sense. They thought it would fit
our school.
Each of these conferences has
had a themed book list that is
usually released in February, giving
the prospective attendees of The
Gathering roughly five months to
read the books on the list and get
familiar with the work of the au-
thors who will greet themas they
explore the campus. This years
theme is the home and is titled,
Physical and Metaphysical Home:
Memory, Grace and Structure.
Pat Bartholomew, a loyal attend-
ee who has been going to these
annual events since they began four
summers ago, is looking forward
to this years festivities. She de-
scribes the environment to be
pretty high energy and well-
organized, and she looks forward
to seeing some of her colleagues
who share the self-mandated pur-
suit of reserving a spot in the Keys-
tone College dorms.
Some of the people who are
presenting, I have friendships
with, Bartholomewsaid, deeming
The Gathering as a social event as
well as an enlightening one.
Its like a family reunion,
Ravaioli said. The participants
mingle, have dinner, attend the
scheduled events and, ideally,
discuss the books they have read.
Although reading the books isnt
a requirement for attending, the
book list is something that the
regulars knowto become famil-
iar with so they wont suffer the
dreadful feeling of being unable to
join the loops discussions on the
chosen works of literature.
We ask themto read the books
ahead of time, so they have an idea
of the issue, Ravaioli said.
Bartholomewagreed.
The best way to be there is to
read the books, she said. Some
people have went without reading
the books, and they learned their
mistakes. Its really a pleasure
joining a group, and they see the
value of being out of the loop.
The loops are commonly
filled with people who have been
to previous installments of The
Gathering summer tradition, and it
eventually becomes a get-together.
People who keep coming back
obviously come back because they
enjoyed it, Bartholomewsaid.
Whatever reason the prospective
attendees return to this summers
assembly of the most respected
poets, authors and a newfeature
for this years theme architects,
Ravaioli hopes they leave the cam-
pus of Keystone College with a
positive influence and an idea of
what the theme is looking to en-
courage.
We hope they leave with a
sense of what the home means and
what their own home means to
them. W

veryone remembers
their first time that
memory burned vividly
forever in the mind. The
excitement stirring deep
down inside, waiting for it
to happen. The hint of nerv-
ousness, hoping everything
goes perfectly. Heart beating
wildly, adrenaline surging
through every part of the
body.
And then it happens.
One intense moment, the
result of tireless planning.
One intense night, blood,
sweat and tears in the spot-
light for all to see. The
music thunders, the lights
flash brightly. Out of the
darkness they emerge, ready
to fight. Corner to corner,
fist to fist, only one victo-
rious. First time or hun-
dredth, each just as impor-
tant, never forgotten.
For Martial Arts Super
Sport (MASS), a new pro-
fessional mixed martial arts
(MMA) league based out of
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
area, first times mean every-
thing. Hosting its inaugural
event this Saturday, July 16
at the Mohegan Sun Arena,
MASS will be showcasing
both amateur and profession-
al MMA fighters from not
only this area, but all over
the country.
Mike Malast, president of
MASS and CEO of MMA
Melee the Community of
Combat, which sponsors
many of the fighters, said
Saturday night is important
to the league as it is provid-
ing the opportunity for the
participants to be involved
in a larger, quality event
that many newer fighters
rarely have the chance to be
a part of.
Fight night for these
fighters is as important as
their wedding day, he said.
Theres a lot of promoters
and organizations cutting
corners on lights these
guys are fighting in basket-
ball courts. We wanted to
open up an organization that
didnt do that. We wanted to
be exactly like the UFC.
So nearly two years ago,
Malast created MMA Melee,
which he considers the Face-
book of MMA, as a way to
bring together fighters, pro-
moters, sponsors and train-
ers, as he said it is often
difficult for new fighters to
find sponsorship. He also
began forming a fighting
team under the same name,
bringing in talent from all
over the country, including
UFC and The Ultimate
Fighter Season 12 finalist,
Kris Savage McCray. Ma-
last said he wants to help
these fighters get out into
the public eye and further
their careers.
One guy is gonna win,
ones gonna lose, he said.
Another guy is getting clos-
er to his dream, the other
guys getting further away.
For the guys that are doing
this, the percentage that will
make it, its very slim. For
them to go after this dream
thats so far out there, they
deserve all the credit they
can get.
But the thrill of the first
time doesnt stop with
MASSs inaugural event
this is the first time an
MMA match is being held
at the arena.
Its great, its history,
Malast said. MMA has only

hometown. Its a blessing.
TOP-NOTCH SHOW,
SMALL-TOWN MARKET
T
hough a blessing to
the league, it has been
a lot of hard work
according to Jonathan Ker-
nis, vice president of MASS.
He said while he and Malast
have put in a lot of work to
make this event happen, it
has required the help of
numerous people every-
one from trainers, promoters
and fighters to the media
in order to ensure that the
attention to detail is near
perfect.
All you can do is put in
the work you need to facil-
itate what needs to go on,
Kernis said, but at the end
of the day, you need to rely
on all these different people,
and thats always challeng-
ing. Were doing a top-notch
show in a small-town mar-
ket, and its a great opportu-
nity for the fighters, for the
fans.
And the fans will be in
for a show.
Saturday nights event will
feature between 10 and 14
matches, both amateur and
professional, including local
fighter T-Rex Harris in his
first professional match
against Ohio-native Chase
Owens. The main event of
the evening pits the unde-
feated Swoyersville native
Jimy The Kid Hettes (Pro
7-0) against Jacob Kirwan
(Pro 8-2) of Maryland, in
the Featherweight Champion-
ship Fight.
Hettes, who trains other
fighters at Northeastern Ju-
Jitsu in Swoyersville, said he
is glad to be participating in
the MASS inaugural event at
the arena.
If you look at a few
years ago, it wasnt even
legal in PA and all the local
fighters had to travel to
New Jersey, to Kentucky, to
Virginia, always to other
states, he said. Its great
to have a real big show
right in your backyard. As a
fan, that gets me real excit-
ed to know that MMA in
NEPA has blown up that
much. Its real important to
me because I grew up here,
the guys I train are from
here, and its just real im-
portant for them to have a
big show to shoot for in
their training thats right
here.
For Hettes, training is just
as exciting as the match
itself. He said that while
many people look at how
MMA fighters train and feel
like they are torturing them-
selves, he wakes up with a
smile on his face every day
because he knows he gets to
go to the gym and train,
always learning something
new and honing his skills.
And as the event draws
near, and the fighters ready
themselves to push closer to
their dreams, some like
Hettes urge people to come
out and experience what
MMA has to offer.
If you have interest in
MMA, and you wanna see
hardworking guys from your
own backyard contend with
the big guys from all across
the country, see how much
its progressed in this area, I
would definitely show up
and see what its all about.
If youve been to smaller
shows before, this is going
to be a completely different
experience. Its going to be
a good time overall. W

W
e live in an age when
advertising has been
jammed into every
square inch of space. Short of
being in the middle of a forest or
at sea, its difficult to open your
eyes and not encounter a logo,
advertisement or some sort of
branding somewhere.
Ads fill the airwaves, appear
on websites and are a given, and
even sometimes anticipated (in
the case of the Super Bowl, for
example) part of television pro-
gramming.
Just when you thought they
couldnt cram any more ad-
vertising into your life, theyve
gone and done it again.
We all watch reruns. In some
cases theyre only a few weeks
old; in others, decades old.
Sometimes, you can even spot
crude attempts at product place-
ment. The days of Mike Wallace
pushing Phillip Morris cigarettes
on The Mike Wallace Inter-
view are long gone, of course.
But what if Mike Wallace started
promoting iPads instead?
Well, it may be only a matter
of time.
Advertising companies have
found a way to push new prod-
ucts into old shows. In some
cases, almost subliminally, as
advertisements that appear in the
background. In others, they use
the magic of computer anima-
tion, seemingly being promoted
by actors and actresses who, if
theyre still alive, may be far past
their prime.
Watch those reruns carefully.
If youre a fan of the TV show
How I Met Your Mother, you
may have noticed this already.
Promotions for upcoming 2011
movies such as Zookeeper
have started popping into epi-
sodes from 2007, in the form of
magazine covers, flat-panel TVs
surreptitiously added to walls and
more.
Its clever, no doubt. And its a
good way for companies to con-
tinue to monetize their reruns.
But theres something sneaky
about it. Its just a bit underhand-
ed, Id say.
Where does it end? Will Mr.
Ed be stumping for CBS? Will
Ronald Reagan start promoting
current Republican presidential
candidates? In any event, its too
late. The genie is out of the bot-
tle. It wont be long before Jackie
Gleason is doing commercials
for SpaceX or Virgin Galactic.
One of these days ... straight
to the moon!
So keep your eyes peeled when
you watch those reruns. If Cap-
tain Kirk pulls out a new iPhone
when he wants to make a call to
the Enterprise, youll know that
its nothing more than good,
old-fashioned product placement.

Music on the menu
By Alan K. Stout
Weekender Music Columnist
W
hen talking to Dan West
of the band Chasin The
Dog, you get a sense
that the group had been chasin
the dream of recording an album
of original material for nearly a
decade. And now, that dream has
been realized.
Herding Cats, the debut CD
from the Moscow-based band, is
available now at Gallery of
Sound stores. The sometimes
breezy, sometimes earthy and
sometimes driving collection of
tunes was recorded at Windmill
Studios in Mt. Cobb. West says
that though the group has been
together for about 10 years, it was
only after its most recent lineup
change and after years of
playing mostly cover material
that it started writing and work-
ing on the album.
We called it drawing a line in
the sand, says West. We said,
This is what were going to be,
and were going to do it the best
we can. You either like it or you
dont, but this is what weve got.
We just wanted to shoot for our
own identity. And we really felt
the best way to define ourselves
was to show, in our CD, who we
are.
Chasin The Dog features West
on rhythm guitar and vocals,
Fred Forte on lead/rhythm guitar
and vocals, Marc Ciullo on
drums and vocals, Chris Ampt-
man on lead/rhythm guitar and
vocals and Matt Thomas on bass.
Guest musicians on the groups
CD included Joe Paciotti on
harmonica, banjo and vocals, Ian
James on piano and keyboards
and Eric Ritter on bass. The new
CD was produced by Ritter and
the band.
He really did such an out-
standing job, says West of Ritter.
Hes got the most soothing,
calming voice.
Self-described as a jam band,
Chasin The Dog names the
Allman Brothers Band, Grateful
Dead, John Butler Trio, Drive By
Truckers, OAR, Jack Johnson,
Muddy Waters, Albert King, Jimi
Hendrix, Cream, Stevie Ray
Vaughan, Tea Leaf Green, The
Eagles and Creedence Clearwater
Revival as influences. In addition
to original material, the music of
such acts has also appeared in the
Chasin The Dog set list.
West, who serves as the
groups principal songwriter, is
candid when talking about the
inspiration for his lyrics.
Through my life, Ive been
divorced, locked up, homeless,
broke, hooked on drugs any-
thing that you can do, I was, he
says. With that comes a lot of
baggage and inner thoughts, and
I guess thats where it comes
from.
Music, he says, can be cathar-
tic.
I feel like it washes my soul,
he says. When every bad thing
that can happen to you is happen-
ing to you, and you can pick up
your guitar and just start playing
before long you actually for-
get about whats going on, and
youre putting inflections in your
music. You just get lost.
West says that, more than
anything, he hopes listeners find
honesty in the album. He says the
songs were not only inspired by
personal experiences, but also
everything from his disenchant-
ment with the extreme divisive-
ness of Americas political cli-
mate to the plight of Americas
soldiers. In addition to Gallery of
Sound, the CD is also available
through the bands Facebook
page and the entire album is also
posted on its MySpace page at
myspace.com/chasin-the-dog. On
July 23, the band will hold a CD
release party and pig roast at a
friends farm in Springbrook.
Tickets and directions are avail-
able on the bands Facebook
page.
Everything seems to have a
red and purple tint to it, he says
when talking about the bands
live show.
We try to make musical tran-
sitions between songs and put a
show together. Its a tad psy-
chedelic. Its like Widespread
Panic and the Grateful Dead met,
with a tad bit of Drive By Truck-
ers. Lots of wah-wah pedals. W
Moscow-based Chasin The Dog just released its debut,
Herding Cats.
Chasin' The Dog
catches its dream
Ive been divorced, locked up, homeless,
broke, hooked on drugs With that
comes a lot of baggage and inner
thoughts, and I guess thats where
it comes from.

Warning: Listening to so
many shrill beats over the
course of Sorry For Party
Rocking might temporarily
deafen you. And bore you, if
electro-hop isnt your bag. On
LMFAOs second full-length
album, MCs/DJs Redfoo and
his nephew Sky Blu, mix ear-
piercing techno that gets saved
sometimes by contagious
rhymes.
The super-short album starter,
Rock the Beat II, begins with
laser sounds and a movie-trail-
er-esque lead in. Sorry For
Party Rocking makes you want
to bounce, but its beat gets old
fast. Hit lead single, Party
Rock Anthem, which features
Lauren Bennett and GoonRock,
is fun with some big synth
flourishes that come along at
the perfect time.
Sexy and I Know It has
handclaps, a throaty beat thats
different from the previous
tracks and silly lyrics like
When Im at the beach, Im in
a Speedo trying to tan my
cheeks. Natalia Kills guests on
Champagne Showers which is
one of the less abrasive tracks
on the album, as is the senti-
mental One Day.
With its annoying siren-like
backbeat, not even Busta
Rhymes can save Take It To
The Hole. Luckily, Best
Night, which features will.i.am,
GoonRock and Eva Simons,
follows and is anthemic and
enjoyable. With You closes
the album on an equally fun
70s-soul vibe.
A deluxe edition of Sorry
For Party Rocking includes
four bonus songs: Put that
A$$ to Work, which urges
ladies to shake that booty like
it was an Etch-A-Sketch; We
Came Here To Party proves
that when GoonRock is in-
volved, songs are more melo-
dious and less harsh while Re-
minds Me of You sounds like
a Drake song. The funky Hot
Dog is a great homage to a
post-clubbing hot dog.
When the duo lets themselves
be without a lot of bells and
whistles, like on One Day or
Best Night, LMFAO is actual-
ly good. Its too bad that side
doesnt get shown more often
on Sorry For Party Rocking.

When guitarist and singer Tyondai
Braxton left the band Battles in 2010,
there was fodder that with him went a
heavy portion of the talent. As demon-
strated on its most recent release,
Gloss Drop, Battles is doing just fine
minus one, and the innovative, experi-
mental rock that its perfected is still
laden with pointed melodies and arrest-
ing instrumental techniques.
Though Gloss Drop features guest
vocals that add to the overall delivery,
like on My Machines, with Gary
Numan, and Sweetie & Shag, with
Kazu Makino, its apparent from the
opening track that they arent really
necessary.
And that is because of songs like
Inchworm, which is befittingly named,
with its incremental beats, and White
Electric, which has a symphonic back-
beat that keeps the errant melody from
going too far off the deep end.
Sundome begins with a sound that
can only be described as something out
of Jurassic Park; as it progresses, you
just expect the mooning melancholic
sound to be accompanied by a bronto-
saurus head popping out of nowhere.
The sweetly docile Toddler and the
punchy Dominican Fade act as mock
interludes, offering a brief respite from
the heaviness of some other songs, like
Rolls Bayce.
Anyone can take a sleigh bell and a
guitar and call themselves experimental
rock, but on Gloss Drop, Battles
does it with such a deliberately orches-
trated level of extreme, its hard not to
be won over. The band continues to be
creative and unconventional, but still
accessible.

Battles puts
up a good fight
For nearly three decades, Brazilian
metal band Sepultura has used brutal,
dark imagery and a heavy, droning, dirge-
like sound to challenge the notion that its
homeland is a paradise of beaches and
rainforests. Despite lineup changes and
the loss of founders Max and Igor Caval-
era, the band soldiered on and has recent-
ly released its 12th studio album, Kai-
ros. The album is as close as one could
get to having a classic sound, which in
Sepulturas case means death metal with
tribal influences in the rhythm section.
From the opening chords of Spec-
trum, it becomes clear that Sepultura is
not intent on just being heard, but instead
wants to reach out and grab hold of the
listener and not let go until the album is
over. Up next is the title track, followed
by the hard-charging Relentless, before
coming to 2011, the first of some in-
strumental tracks on the album. There is
no real filler to speak of, and highlights
from the rest of the album include
Mask, Structure Violence (Azzes),
and a cover of Ministrys Just One Fix.
In the end, Kairos is a solid album
from front to back and has a very pure
death-metal sound. The only detractor for
some fans may be the garbled, growling
vocals, which are, for better or for worse,
a hallmark of Sepulturas music. Kairos
isnt the bands best album, but its defi-
nitely worth adding to the collection of
both the casual and the dedicated fan.

novel approach
I
n Lisa Sees Dreams of Joy,
readers embark on a passage
of identity through a winding
path edged by deceit. In 1950s
Los Angeles, Joy clutches to her
sheets following the discovery of
her identity. Shes a beautiful and
resilient young woman just short
of her sophomore year of college.
In spite of her good fortune,
Pandoras box opens, and Joy
finds herself torn between the
person she once was, and the
reality that currently exists.
Everything I thought I knew
about my birth, my parents, my
grandparents, and who I am has
been a lie.
As some readers may know,
Pearl and May are Joys mother
and aunt who coexist as main
characters in Lees previous
novel, Shanghai Girls. Though
this is a continuation of the previ-
ous novel, Dreams of Joy can
be read independently.
As Joy comes to realize, both
her mother and aunt spent their
young lives in their native China
as models in the 1930s before
migrating to L.A.s Chinatown.
They fall in love with the same
artist who paints them, which
becomes the backdrop to Joys
most prevalent search in the
novel.
However, the first installment
is appropriate to read as Pearl
and Mays sentiments about
China during the time they lived
there and how it changed over
time is the difference between
night and day. While the sisters
still harbor some fondness about
their modeling days, they cannot
rid the nightmares that befell
them as young women following
the Japanese invasion.
In a way, Joy romanticizes
their past and believes that her
effort to seek out her own identi-
ty will be empowering. Unlikely
that such could be attained con-
sidering Joy leaves America in
1957, at the time of Mao Ze-
dongs Great Leap Forward.
In history, the movement was
proposed in order to make Chi-
nas economy rival that of Amer-
ica, but the Forward instead
became something of deviation
once famine struck between
1958-1962. Joy describes the
vivid nature of people in China
during that time facing cannibal-
ism or starvation: Hunger has
turned me into an old woman
nearing death.
Though Dreams of Joy is a
work of fiction, See has proven
to be an illustrious writer with
cultural and historical under-
standing. Her research regarding
her own familial history and
Maos movement, which histori-
ans assert, led to 45 million fatal-
ities, is not only accurate, but
also important when describing
the dire straits of the Chinese
population during the period.
The primary secrets are real-
ized in the beginning of the nov-
el. But, as the story develops, Joy
realizes that secrets aside, the
most important identity she ever
had was not in China, but her
connection to Pearl and May.

I
f youre planning to attend the
Vans Warped Tour on Thurs-
day, July 14, one of the 68
bands scheduled to appear that
you wont want to miss is
D.R.U.G.S., aka Destroy Rebuild
Until God Shows, which will
play this years Teggart Main
Stage.
This Michigan-based five-
piece rock band is new to the
scene as a group, but the mem-
bers are music veterans, especial-
ly on the Warped Tour. With the
members hailing from popular
acts like Chidos, Matchbook
Romance, Underminded, From
First to Last and Story of the
Year, this determined group of
guys is ready to put on one hell
of a show.
I wanted to choose a bunch of
dudes that deserved more than
what they got from their previous
bands, lead singer Craig Owens
said, phoning in right before his
bus was about to leave for the
tour. We are all super-talented
and deserve a second chance at
this.
Owens parted ways with his
former band Chidos, but was not
ready to leave the music scene.
Instead of finding new musicians
who had not been at a high level,
he started pulling musicians out
of the woodwork who were look-
ing to succeed.
We are all passionate about
our band. Owens said. I went
down the list of the most talent-
ed, fun and responsible guys that
I could find. I got very lucky
with these guys.
D.R.U.G.S. has done nothing
but focus on its music since its
formation in early 2010. Soon
after Owens announced the li-
neup via YouTube videos, the
group started putting songs to-
gether. Singles were released in
late 2010, and a self-titled album
followed in February.
Since the albums release,
D.R.U.G.S. has toured non-stop
playing headlining shows across
the U.S. and Owens has loved
every second of it.
We all want to recapture the
moment when you first start
playing music, he said. Where
youd sit in a garage and play the
same song 10 times in a row and
say, Wow! This is awesome, I
cant believe I just created this!
Having fun and enjoying our-
selves is what this band is really
all about.
Dont make music if youre
not having fun doing it. Being
the band that ignores fans is such
a shit cop out. Theres a lot of
people at Warped; you have to
work hard and play one of the
most energetic sets so that people
come out and watch. You always
have to connect with fans
through appearances and au-
tograph signings.
D.R.U.G.S. will be playing
acoustic and signing autographs
at the Weekender/Go Lackawan-
na Party Deck at the Scranton
date.
The group has earned reviews
from press outlets across the
country for having a lively stage
presence, and Owens said the
band wont disappoint when it
arrives Thursday.
Make sure you let everyone
know to look for our set time on
the big blow-up balloon. Whatev-
er time were playing, early or
late, do not miss us. We havent
played Scranton yet, and we are
going to rock it to the f---ing
ground. W
Vans Warped Tour, Thurs., July
14, 11 a.m., Toyota Pavilion at
Montage Mountain (1000 Mon-
tage Mountain Road, Scran-
ton). $43.50, via box office,
Ticketmaster. Info: vanswar-

movie review
I
s Charlie Day some kind of
mad, comic genius? Probably
not, but the guy does veer
incredibly close to genius at
times. After all, it takes more
than just mere talent to make that
deranged, borderline psychotic,
milksteak-loving weirdo he plays
on Its Always Sunny In Phila-
delphia not only funny, but
likable. And Days natural ability
to turn loathsome creeps into
charming underdogs remains the
greatest asset in Horrible Boss-
es. Who else could play a regis-
tered sex offender (his character
was caught urinating in a play-
ground after dark) who contin-
ually spurns the aggressive sex-
ual advances of Jennifer Aniston
who, incidentally, looks great
in bangs and still remain the
most sympathetic character in the
movie? Answer: Don Knotts. But
hes dead, so probably nobody.
But to be fair, as funny as Day
often is in the film, hes sur-
rounded by an equally talented
ensemble cast who all make
Horrible Bosses far more in-
teresting and amusing than it has
any right to be.
Day, Saturday Night Lives
Jason Sudeikis and Jason Bate-
man star as three friends whose
lives are complicated by their
moderately evil bosses. Bateman
has to deal with the vicious mind
games of a sociopathic Kevin
Spacey. Sudeikis is forced to
carry out the cruel whims of a
dimwitted Colin Farrell, and Day
is being blackmailed into having
sex with the perpetually horny
Aniston. In this apocalyptic
economy, quitting your job is no
longer a viable option, so the trio
decides to do the next best thing:
Theyll murder their superiors.
But even under the helpful guid-
ance of a murder consultant
(Jamie Foxx), homicide is never
as easy as it looks, and it isnt
long before the trios not-so-well-
laid plans go awry.
Theres a casual indifference
behind Horrible Bosses, almost
as if director Seth Gordon turned
the camera on, told his cast to
just make shit up or whatever,
and then wandered off the set for
a smoke. The pacing is oddly
slow, and the visually unappeal-
ing camerawork makes it re-
semble a bad FX-ready sitcom.
Yet unlike Gordons previous
film Four Christmases, which
leaned heavily on gross-out gags
and Vince Vaughns overbearing
smarminess, the cast of Horrible
Bosses are almost all skilled
improvisers and have amazing
chemistry together. Apart from
obvious standout Day, Sudeikis
also earns plenty of laughs as a
waspy, condescending dolt who
at one point argues with Bateman
over which of them would be
more rape-able in prison. But
the films biggest shocker is
Aniston. She charmingly plays
her unhinged, skanky character
as if she was the female lead in a
romantic comedy. Its a strange
but funny choice, and its always
amusing to watch as she growls
out her filthy dialogue in the
sweetest most unassuming way
possible.
Unlike last months Bad
Teacher, which practically
strained itself to appear shocking
and outrageous, Horrible Boss-
es tackles its pitch-black subject
matter with relative ease. Perhaps
a little too much ease because at
times Horrible Bosses doesnt
seem to be trying at all. Although
a strong comedy, the film is far
too improvisatory, loose and
often lacks focus. With the right
director, Horrible Bosses could
have been an instant classic, but
instead its just one of the best
comedies released this summer
that isnt Bridesmaids.
From left, Jason Bateman is stepped on by Kevin Spacey as Colin Farrell terrorizes Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day
is accosted by Jennifer Aniston in Horrible Bosses.

arped Tour al-
ways seems to
have the same
constants every year:
The weather is hotter
than the crotch of a
skinny-jean-wearing
rocker, annoying hand-
outs fromanimal rights
activists, condomven-
dors and musicians who
wish they were on the
tour and of course,
the never-ending maze
of merch tents you have
to weasel through just to
see the next act on your
list.
Warped is a day that
kicks a fans ass in plain
terminology, and we all
have our opinions on
why we choose whether
to attend. But what is it
like for the bands, and
what do they think of
the tour? The Week-
ender checked in with a
fewWarped Tour veter-
ans and virgins to find
out what being on the
tour is really like.

Stage: Teggart Main Stage
Recent Release: Greetings
fromLess Than Jake (EP)
My favorite part is being able
to engage with the audience in a
different way. People get so bom-
barded with electronic advertise-
ments now. Warped is a great way
to get rid of the Twitters and just
interact with your fans on a per-
sonal level, something you may
not be able to do on other tours.
You can actually shake their hand,
look themin eye and say, Hey,
thanks for buying my record.
And that still means a lot to most
people.

There are the obvious reasons
its different: Its an all-day festiv-
al, every single day, instead of a
three- or four-hour show. Its hot
very, very hot, and there are a
lot more people. The people,
though, is the best part. We get to
hang out with some of our best
friends, and make newones. We
get to barbecue with themevery
night, and its just a good time.

Its definitely a very hard tour
because of the conditions. Its
very hot and very dirty; there
arent a lot of showers. You meet
and gain so many newfans,
though. Were lucky enough to do
it on a bus, so for us its a chance
to play in front of a ton of people
and hang out with some of the
best friends weve made over the
years.

Recent release: Terrible

We are looking at Warped as
the biggest tour weve done so far
as a newband. Its kind of a hope-
ful time for us. There are no other
tours that can be compared to this
one. Its a 10-hour-plus day in the
sun, every single day. Everyone is
hot and thirsty, and we all just
kind of connect on a personal
level. I think we made most of our
fans on this tour based on that.
Were suffering with them, then
we got on stage, and they say,
Hey, those are the people I was
just complaining with for the last
hour. We all just relate.

This is my fourth time playing
the tour, and I can never think of a
better way to spend my summer.
People say its a punk-rock festiv-
al, which is kind of true. Its just a
way to experience the best under-
ground music. Were out here
every day with some of the best
current acts in the world, and
were all undergoing the same
circumstances. We all just con-
nect: Bands, fans, crew, every-
one. Weerd Science (Josh
Eppard)
For me, Warped is a newway
to interact with the newgener-
ation of music lovers. Ive never
done it before, so the whole expe-
rience is just new.
The days are what is killer,
though. I wake up around 7 a.m.,
plaster the venues with posters of
what time were playing, then hit
up the line outside and ask people
to come see us. By the time the
showends, and were packing up
our gear, its 11at night. Then we
sleep, and do it all over again. Its
a lot different fromyour standard
four-hour-day club shows. - MC

Warped Tour is kind of the
place that you earn your stripes.
Our biggest challenge is coming
out every day and playing a bunch
of songs no one has ever heard
before. We have to convince
everyone that were worth know-
ing. Were always up against
someone huge, like the Simple
Plans and Every Avenues, but at
the same time, weve experienced
a fewkids that come buy our CD
even if they didnt get around to
watching our set because their
plan was to see one of those big-
ger acts. Something like that
doesnt happen on other tours.
Jason Lancaster,

Stage: Nintendo 3DS
Recent release: Lucky Street
Whats cool about Warped is
obviously being able to play in
front of newpeople, but also
seeing everything go up because
of it. Website hits, Facebook likes,
Twitter followers, things like that
continue to go up every day after
we play a set and just proves that
everything is worth it. Not only
are we selling more CDs and
getting the word out the day of the
show, but those people tell their
friends, and it helps even more.
You go in, and it kind of sucks at
parts, but everyone is a lot happier
once you come out on the other
side.

Ive never done Warped be-
fore. I look forward to visiting all
of the cities. I amexcited to be on
the tour, but I ama little appre-
hensive. I think its going to be
difficult to do with so many peo-
ple in one vehicle. But I do figure,
if we get through this alive, we
can get through anything as a
band. W

Tips
By Janelle Engle
Special to the Weekender
from a
barbie chick
I
d never been a very athletic
child, which is why my
mom, in an attempt to
broaden my horizons, signed me
up for softball. Seconds into the
game, it was clear that had been
a mistake on her part.
While all the other little girls
were out getting messy and
running the bases, you could
find me sitting down, perfectly
content in the outfield picking
flowers and putting them in my
hair. Its safe to say not much
has changed.
Im still that girl who would
rather pick flowers and put
them in her hair than ever go
anywhere near a softball. When
youre smaller, theres something
about being outdoors and hav-
ing flowers in your hair that
makes you feel like you are no
longer human, but a fairy prin-
cess of sorts, friend of every
creature big and small. Now,
you can achieve a similar earthy
vibe at any age with flower hair
accessories.
I know what youre probably
thinking, floral for summer?
Groundbreaking.
But at the same time, its just
the right thing to add to a sim-
ple outfit thats perfect for this
time of year when you want
your style to be fresh and ef-
fortless. Going by hair length,
girls with shorter hair should
opt for smaller, daintier flowers,
while the longer the length of
hair, the bigger the flower you
can usually pull off.
Although, whether its hair
clips or hair bands, one thing to
keep in mind is that while real
flowers are clearly not the best
way to execute this trend, for
obvious reasons, still be picky
with synthetic options. Just
because they arent real doesnt
mean they shouldnt look like
you went off and picked them
fresh from the garden yourself
or in my case, the outfield.
W
Flowers in your hair are the perfect addition to
summers simple styles.

T
he day-long festival known
as the Vans Warped Tour
is notorious for having a
deluge of musical acts and pro-
viding sweaty, exhausting, rau-
cous fun, all for the price of one
little admission ticket. For Matt
Thiessen, the lead singer of Re-
lient K, all of that is what makes
this, the bands third year touring
with Warped, worth the effort.
Its just always fun to see
where you fit in with the roster,
he explained when he checked in
with the Weekender recently
from the tours stop in Pomona,
Calif. And then theres just the
hippie, camping element of being
dirty and sweaty and rock n
roll, kind of communing with the
kids that are there, too.
The melting pot aspect of
Warped Tour, which hits the
Toyota Pavilion at Montage
Mountain Thursday, July 14,
appeals to Thiessen, and though
Relient K fits into the general
punk genre one associates with
the tour, the band has also experi-
enced success within the Chris-
tian rock community.
But for Thiessen, labels dont
matter.
Were just glad that we get to
be ourselves and people dont
hate us, he said, laughing.
Weve never really cared about
what box people put us in.
Perhaps that approach is what
has made the band, which Thies-
sen founded with guitarist Matt
Hoopes in 1998 and features
John Warne on bass, Ethan Luck
on drums and Jon Schneck on
guitars, such a success. The
decidedly earnest music is anoth-
er factor that keeps fans coming
back for more.
I tend to write a lot about
personal experience, Thiessen
explained. And I wear my heart
on my sleeve a little bit, some-
times too much.
He added that the band is
hoping to get back into the studio
in November to start recording
some new songs, including some
that are less about real-life and
more about telling a fictional
story.
Until then, fans have K is for
Karaoke to pore over, which
features covers of songs by ev-
eryone from Cyndi Lauper to
Justin Bieber, and a follow-up
cover album featuring Thiessens
personal favorite, Motorcycle
Drive By by Third Eye Blind,
will likely be released in the fall.
The band has always had the
idea of doing a compilation of
covers on the back burner, espe-
cially after seeing some of its
biggest influences, like MxPx
and New Found Glory, do the
same.
Weve been playing cover
songs for 11 years, changing
them up every tour, (but) we
never actually tracked any of
them, so this was a good oppor-
tunity for us to do that, Thiessen
said.
He also explained that over the
course of those 11 years, the
bands sound has been influenced
by the process of growing up and
maturing more than anything
else.
Every year that goes by, you
educate yourself a little more, he
said. You get into new artists or
even classic artists. Im more in
tune with Paul Simon than Ive
ever been in my life, and I feel
like that cant be a bad thing for
my songwriting. And stuff like
that happens as you just grow
older and, hopefully, more in-
telligent. W
Relient K embraces
Warped melting pot
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
RELIENT K
Were just glad that we get to be our-
selves and people dont hate us. Weve
never really cared about what box people
put us in.
Matt Thiessen of Relient K
W
hen most people think of
the Vans Warped Tour,
they think of it as a festiv-
al for skateboarders and punk-
music fans. Its not a wrong as-
sumption, but theres much more
to it than just those things.
Take The Aggrolites, for exam-
ple. This self-proclaimed dirty
reggae band fromLos Angeles is
about as far musically fromits
Warped tourmates as it could be,
and for vocalist/lead guitarist Jesse
Wagner, thats the whole point.
What Ive always loved about it
and respected is how(founder)
Kevin Lyman throws a lot of dif-
ferent kinds of acts for a lot of
people to see, Wagner said,
checking in with the Weekender
last week fromthe tours Indiana
stop. When you come, youre
coming to watch these bands that
you know, but at the same time,
you can always somehowstumble
across a band on a side stage and
totally get into another whole
genre of music.
Wagner sees two things happen
when festivalgoers catch a set from
The Aggrolites, who hit Scranton
with Warped Thursday, July14.
Its hit or miss, he shared.
Sometimes kids are looking at us
with a big deer-in-the-headlights
face, sometimes kids get into it
and start dancing to the music. It
all depends on whos out there and
whos open enough to appreciate
it, and you know, not followthe
herd.
Its no surprise that a band like
The Aggrolites which also
features Brian Dixon, Roger Rivas,
Alex McKenzie and Jeff Roffredo
wouldnt be herd followers
itself. Wagner cited1969-early
70s reggae fromJamaica and the
U.K. plus American soul, Motown
and the 2 Tone era, a U.K. genre
that fused ska, punk rock, rock-
steady, reggae and NewWave, as
influences. Even the way the band
released Rugged Road in Febru-
ary is a little left: The albumwas
originally formatted as five 45s.
We always wanted to put out
45s because we play the kind of
music where people collect vinyl,
Wagner began, and we never had
the opportunity to do it until now.
Rugged Road eventually
became a 10-song CD, though the
band never wanted to call it an
album.
We had to put it on CDbecause
obviously 45s are a lot harder to
push on tour and are a lot more
expensive to press, Wagner add-
ed.
The Aggrolites influences also
played a part in its name, as ag-
gro was a popular termfor the
U.K. working class in the 60s and
70s.
It was really used by a lot of
those bands like The Aggrova-
tors, Wagner explained. It was
just howthe beatniks would say
boss or daddy-o. Lites fromthe
60s bands like The Chi-Lites or
The Crystallites, so it just fit per-
fectly with what we were influen-
ced by.
And its really funny because
people in the U.K. and especial-
ly the Jamaicans automatically
understand because they get it
fromthat era. W

B
ob Stanley is more than a nancial advisor.
Aman about town, you may see him at just
about every fundraiser and party across the
Wyoming Valley. With his jovial persona
always in tow, Bob does his part to give
back to the community while living up to his title of
social buttery. Active on a multitude of boards, Bob is
known for his fundraising strengths including organizing
hot-selling gift baskets for community dinners. The face
youve seen plenty of times, but just who is Mr. Robert
Louis Stanley?
Full name: Robert Louis Stanley, although everyone
calls me Bob
Nickname: Minas Husband
Occupation: Financial advisor
Community involvement: Northeastern
Pennsylvania Philharmonic, Red Cross, Luzerne County
Community College, Northeast Ballet, Association of the
Blind, Osterhout Library, Generation 2 Generation, Eastern
Star I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
Hobbies: Freemasonry; I have quite an extensive
collection of books.
Favorite quote: Be kind, for everyone you meet is
ghting a hard battle, Plato or Philo Judaeus, no one is
sure.
Something people might not know about you:
I go camping for one week every year in a tent, in the
woods.
Something you always wanted to do: Go for a
ride in an F-14 ghter plane.
What music makes you want to dance? I really
cant dance, unless I have had a toddy or two. If you see
me dancing, you should assume libations are somehow
involved.
Favorite movie: Citizen Kane.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
Minas husband. ...

By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
F
rom corporate attorney
to custom tailor,
Michael Andrews
knows a thing or two
about what it takes to
be a well-dressed man. Frustrated
by what was available, Andrews
opened his own shop Michael
Andrews Bespoke in 2006
to t the needs of men with ne
taste.
With a showroom complete
with a full bar, men can expect
a unique experience during their
consultation at the shop named
Best of New York from 2008-
2010. Located at 2 Great Jones
Alley in New York City, Bespoke
offers sophisticated custom-
designed slim-t suits. Lets get
to know the designer
WEEKENDER: What were
you doing before Bespoke,
and what made you want to
begin the endeavor?
ANDREWS: If anyone
knows how a suit should look
and t a gentleman, it would be
me. I was a corporate lawyer in
my prior life and had to wear a
suit to work every day for nearly
eight years. I am a tough t,
and I could not nd off-the-rack
Bespoke, custom suits
for distinctive men
suits cut to my liking so I began
getting my suits custom-tailored
on my frequent trips to Asia. I
fell in love with the whole idea
of custom clothing and thought
there was a need in the market
for contemporary, slimmer-tting
custom suits. After trying over
a dozen tailors in half a dozen
countries without nding exactly
what I wanted, I decided it was
time to open my own tailor shop.
I went back to school to take
tailoring classes at the Fashion
Institute of Technology to
understand professional tailoring
techniques rst-hand.
WEEKENDER: Who is
your demographic?
ANDREWS: We have a
diverse client base. While the
majority of our clients are
bankers and lawyers in their late
20s to early 40s, we have a large
number of clients who work in
entertainment, hospitality, media
and technology.
WEEKENDER: What can a
client expect when coming
in for an appointment?
ANDREWS: We have been
described as anti-retail. Most
guys hate to shop, so weve
Michael Andrews Bespoke, above and bottom right, was founded by Michael Andrews, top right photos, in 2006 in NewYork City.
Bespoke offers custom-designed suits -- and a full bar.
created a space that feels more
like a private club than a store.
When you come in, we start by
getting you a drink (scotch is
most popular, but we mix some
mean cocktails as well) from our
in-house 12-foot oak bar and
spend a few minutes to get to
know you. It is important for us
to understand your preferences
as well as your wardrobe needs
so we can best guide you through
the selection of fabrics and
details. Once you have designed
your new garments, we take over
30 measurements to ensure as
precise a t as possible.
WEEKENDER: Whats the
turnaround time on your
suits?
ANDREWS: There are many
variables that go into making a
custom suit, so a rst-time order
can take anywhere from six to 12
weeks.
WEEKENDER: Can a
client request just a shirt or
a pair of pants?
ANDREWS: We do not
have a minimum order, but we
encourage clients to think about
their wardrobes in a holistic way.
Our goal is to help our clients
look their best all the time, and
the way to do this is to design
whole outts, not individual
pieces. If you invest in the right
suit, the jacket can do double
duty as a weekend or travel
blazer. You can wear it during the
week to the ofce, then on the
weekend with jeans or khakis.
This is a perfect example of
where the whole is worth far
more than the sum of the parts.
We discuss how simple
accessory touches like cufinks,
a tie bar, colorful socks and a
pocket square are safe, business-
appropriate accessories that can
add an element of style to any
outt. Were all about instructing
our clients to get the most out of
their wardrobes.
WEEKENDER: What
makes your tailored suits
different than others?
ANDREWS: While garments
can be ordered in virtually any
style, we emphasize a more
updated, slimmer cut than
most custom tailors, and we
encourage clients to personalize
their suits with colorful linings,
contrast stitching, working
sleeve buttonholes and labels
embroidered with a clients own
name.
WEEKENDER: Youve
been featured in a wide
array of magazines. How do
you stay versatile?
ANDREWS: Weve been
blessed with a lot of good press,
but I think that is the outcome
of our relentless focus on client
service. We dont spend money
on traditional advertising.
Instead, we try to make sure
each of our clients is a walking,
talking billboard for our
company.
As far as keeping up with
current trends, we all have a
deep interest in fashion so that is
one of the most fun parts of my
job. I read about a dozen fashion
magazines from Italy, England,
and Japan and keep up with the
latest collections on the runway.
I also travel a lot, so I have the
opportunity to see new trends
rst hand in a lot of international
cities.
WEEKENDER: What
can the public expect from
Michael Andrews Bespoke
in the future?
ANDREWS: We have a
lot on our plate for the next
year. We are working on a new
ready-to-wear collaboration with
thestyleblogger.com, and we
look forward to launching a new
e-commerce system that will let
existing clients place new orders
over the internet. We are also
looking at options to expand to
other cities but we wont do
that until we are certain we can
expand without sacricing the
level of client service we have
come to be known for.. W
