Roxy Music pioneer tours with new tracks

By John Benson Toledo Free Press Star Staff Writer star@toledofreepress.com

For roughly 40 years, the debonair Bryan Ferry has successfully existed at the intersection of art, fashion and rock ’n’ roll. It’s a precarious — if not a pressure filled — place to call home considering the fickle nature of all three arenas, yet somehow this enigmatic aristocrat of music has thrived without a faux pas, meltdown or clunker.

“It’s kind of who I am,” said Ferry, calling from Miami. “I studied art. And then, at the age of 10, I was a huge music fan of jazz and blues. As a teenager deciding what to do with my life, I just wanted to be an artist. I went to university and studied art for three years, and during that time I started to sing a little bit. When I graduated, I started writing and those songs became the first Roxy albums. So I felt I wanted to integrate the two things as much as I could, without diminishing the importance of the music.”

A bellwether to ’80s new wave, the sophisticated Roxy Music found platinum success in the U.K., Europe and Australia. However, in the U.S. the road was never as smooth, with Ferry and band mates enjoying pockets of success from 1975 single “Love is the Drug” to the 1982 album “Avalon.”

Equally elusive of the mainstream has been Ferry’s solo career, which also began in the ’70s and contains many cover albums, including 2007’s self-explanatory “Dylanesque.” While Ferry’s own mid-’80s song “Kiss and Tell” was a Top 40 hit, he’s most known for “Slave to Love,” the unofficial theme song to feature film “9 1/2 Weeks.”

Despite a Roxy Music reunion a decade ago,

Ferry remains committed to his solo career, which includes his most recent album “Olympia.” Released last year, the 12-track effort features musical collaborations with some of the industry’s biggest names — Nile Rodgers, Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, Groove Armada, Dave Stewart, Scissor Sisters and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead.

“One of the chief directives for this album was I wanted to have some of my own songs and not just do covers,” Ferry said. “I don’t write as prolifically as I did back in the ’70s, I think that’s pretty natural. As life gets more complicated, I’ve always kind of enjoyed doing versions of other people’s songs. To me it’s been a great way of enlarging my repertoire and broadening my sweep.

But the best new track that I wrote and the key track — like the keystone for the building — is called ‘Reason or Rhyme.’ It was started a few years before but I didn’t finish it off until the very last minute. I felt like I got the lyric right.”

Fans can judge for themselves when Ferry returns to Cleveland for a 7:30 p.m. Oct. 10 show at the State Theatre. The production includes a multimedia affair that he describes as “a collage of beautiful things.” The notion of the theatrical tour is nothing new to Ferry, but who does the 66-year-old performer see carrying on his legacy?

“Prince was great,” Ferry said. “He always puts on a great show and he’s a terrific singer and guitar player. The obvious person is Lady Gaga.

She’s quite brave, out there and changing all of the time the visual side of her work. She’s also a good musician. I think she’s interesting.”

Is Ferry jealous of her meat outfit?

He laughed, “I don’t think I could have pulled that one off somehow.” O

“It’s a plastic world, babe” — Bryan Ferry, “Your Painted Smile”

Storytelling in miniature TMA exhibit inspired by ‘Small Worlds’ collection.

By Blair Bohland TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAR STAFF WRITER star@toledofreepress.com

Toledo Museum of Art will take 140 prints out of storage and display them to the public for a new exhibit starting Oct. 7.

“Storytelling in Miniature” draws from the smallest pieces within the museum’s collection and contains works dating back to the Renaissance, said Kelly Fritz Garrow, director of communications at Toledo Museum of Art (TMA).

“It’s a really rich collection,” Garrow said. “We have about 10,000 works on paper and can take almost any topic and make an exhibition from those objects. It’s really comprehensive.”

The theme was inspired by the museum’s upcoming “Small Worlds” exhibit, which runs from Nov. 18 to March 25. Unlike “Small Worlds,” “Storytelling in Miniature” will focus more on the art of storytelling rather than the size and proportion of the artwork.

“The artists were telling stories in these little prints, so their topics were either mythology or Biblical,” Garrow said. “They’re definitely all prints that were created in order to do this — to tell a story.”

The exhibit includes prominent artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Charles Meryon and John Taylor Arms.

“There are also quite a few German prints in the show, and there’s Rembrandt, who’s Dutch. A lot of the pieces are European works,” Garrow said.

A number of the prints are from a group of artists called the “Little Masters,” who originally worked in Nuremberg, Germany, and often depicted secular and erotic themes in their artwork. Due to subject matter, nudity is a part of the exhibit, but does not overshadow the theme of “Storytelling in Miniature,” Garrow said.

“Everything is so small that it’s not going to be really in your face,” Garrow said. “But there’s definitely adult content and parents just need to use their judgment.”

Some of the artwork is so small that a

magnifying glass must be used to appreciate the creations.

“Because of the size of some of these prints, people are going to be pretty amazed at the level of detail and at how much time the artists must have spent,” Garrow said. “Printmaking is a very old art. These are 400- and 500-year-old works of art and they’re on paper, so it’s really an amazing thing to see what some of these men and women were creating way back then.”

Since the artwork is aged and fragile, the pieces from “Storytelling in Miniature” are rarely displayed to the public.

“These are things that, unless somebody’s got a really good memory, people probably won’t remember seeing before; usually it’s at least five years since some of these things have been out on display, and sometimes much longer,” Garrow said. “The idea of doing these types of shows is to display things in the permanent collection that we don’t have out a lot. We

avoid putting them in the light as much as other works, like oil paintings and sculptures. It’s nice for people to come to the museum and see new things displayed that they don’t always have the opportunity to see.”

The museum’s website will also offer an online catalog of “Storytelling in Miniature,” available beginning Oct. 7.

“With every show we do, we’re making either an online catalog or printed catalog,” Garrow said. “Since some of these works don’t come out that often, it will be a nice opportunity for people who can’t come see them in person.”

Admission to TMA and the exhibit are free.

“Storytelling in Miniature” will be on exhibit through March 4. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. TMA is closed on Mondays.

The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) recently acquired a painting by the 17th-century portraiture master Frans Hals, ending its decades-long search for an example of Hals’ work.

Hals is considered to be one of the three greatest artists of the Dutch Golden Age, along with Rembrandt and Vermeer.

“Family Portrait in a Landscape,” painted in the 1620s and depicting a father, mother and seven children, was the last group portrait by Hals in private hands.

The painting will be unveiled to the public in TMA’s Great Gallery at 6 p.m. Oct. 13 followed by a free presentation in the Peristyle Theater by Pieter Biesboer, emeritus curator of paintings at the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, the Netherlands, and an expert on Hals.

“This painting is a tremendous addition to our collection of European paintings,” said TMA Director Brian Kennedy in a news release. “It is one of only four known family portraits by Hals to have survived and is the earliest of the four. Its strong composition and the way Hals captures the personalities and personal interactions of the family members will delight our visitors.”

Hudson Gallery features artwork from local women.

By Joel Sensenig TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAR STAFF WRITER jsensenig@toledofreepress.com

Artwork from local women will be on display this month at Sylvania’s Hudson Gallery.

The gallery is kicking off its fall season with “Group of 9,” a continuing series of mixed-media exhibits featuring the work of nine local artists. The exhibit, on display through Oct. 29, showcases the work of Toledo area artists Penny Gentieu, Cheryl Takata, Kristin Kowalski, Candra Boggs, Michelle Carlson, Kelly Sheehan, Mary Pencheff, Mille Guldbeck and Mania Dajnak.

“We keep a long-running list of local artists,” said Scott Hudson, owner of the gallery. “Whenever I come across somebody who I think is doing really exceptional work, I write their name down. We try to find a good blend of artists’ work that will go together.”

The exhibit includes paintings, prints, photographs, ceramics, sculptures and glass.

The exhibits help bring a larger audience to a wide variety of artists, Hudson said.

“We’re trying to create an ongoing venue where local artists have the opportunity to have their work exposed to the public,” he said. “One of the things we definitely look for when putting this exhibit together is finding a handful of artists that have a little less name recognition — maybe they’re a little younger in their career, maybe

they’re just out of school, maybe they just need a little more exposure, so we try to find that blend.”

Hours for the free exhibit are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays.

Hudson Gallery is located at 5645 N. Main St., Sylvania.

Q

uestion: Would you operate before attending medical school? Would you hire inexperienced representation for your trial? Then why would you place your talent in the hands of someone as unfamiliar with the music industry such as yourself? Harsh?

I know, but in the wake of my fellow Star staff writer Lil D’s recent, “The Word I Heard,” I agree that a little more honesty is what most artists need.

I’m sure no one’s lining up to hear it, but the truth is what you should hear to get beyond your stalled career. Rappers, singers, musicians and producers, share a common desire to be heard. As a consumer, you are going to have to work for my ear, but as a DJ, I am required to know what is hot and play to the crowd.

Those are two different things.

Expecting people to love your music simply because you think it’s good is unrealistic. There are schools for business and educational programs in music engineering. I understand school isn’t for everyone, but what about conferences and workshops? There is an abundance of workshops and conferences to educate budding talent on the proper process of getting involved in the industry. Depending on what you want to know, there is always a panel discussion or workshop you can attend for a very affordable price. Different cities around the state host events that have educational value for artists of all types.

The Ohio Hip Hop Awards were recently in Columbus and offered a $20 workshop aimed toward the artists in attendance. I was told by several attendees that there was not one recognizable Toledo artist in attendance.

Oct. 14 and 15, Dayton’s Third annual Regional Academic and Cultural Collaborative (RACC) will feature some of the industry’s top acts to speak

and or perform. In the past Hip-Hop artists such as Common, Lupe Fiasco and comedian Dave Chappelle have participated and this year will feature Black Thought of The Roots, as its keynote speaker. On Friday night, “The Signature: Poetic Medley Show — After Dark Edition” from 9 to 11 p.m. will feature HBO’s “Def Poetry.” Shihan.

Saturday morning Business of Entertainment and Music Seminar will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., only $10 in advance, $15 at the door. There will be panels of industry professionals and a chance to win free studio time with Mo Beats Recording Studios and a oneon one-session with Luther Adamson of Ludacris’ record label Disturbing the Peace Records. This event boasts an Independent Artists and Aspiring Executives seminar giving you more bang for your buck. Tickets to all RACC events are available at www.ticketcenterstage.com.

Oct. 29, The Put Me On Music Workshop returns by way of 520 Entertainment and The Juice FM 107.3 to the Crowne Plaza in Downtown Toledo. The success of last years workshop gained momentum in the music industry and gives Toledoans the advantage of industry vets flown in to speak directly to them. Last year, artists from other areas took advantage of the opportunity to learn more about marketing, imaging, package preparation and more. Keynote luncheon speaker this year is Cynthia Johnson and a digital distribution deal is up for grabs. For more info and registration visit The Juice studios at 5902 Southwyck Blvd.

“I know that time spent well is so rare” — Bryan Ferry, “Chance Meeting”

Tecumseh Appleumpkin Festival Oct. 8-9

By Jason Mack Toledo Free Press Star Web Editor jmack@toledofreepress.com

The 18th annual Appleumpkin Festival is expanding beyond downtown Tecumseh with the addition of Westfest.

“Last year we sold out completely downtown,” event coordinator Jan Fox said. “A group from the west end business area wanted to know how they could be involved and draw people out there. We decided to start with the Appleumpkin Festival to get activity on the west end. We had a group step up to the plate to do the work and serve on the committee. They’ve worked at coming up with a lot of neat ideas. Being a satellite from the downtown event, we needed enough activities to be a draw.”

Westfest will feature new events such as a bike show, a chili cook-off, a waterball tournament and an antique tractor show. The tractor show is expected to receive more than 50 entrants and runs Oct. 9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Votes for the chili cook-off will be cast by making donations benefiting Lenawee’s Hospice Home. The cookoff is Oct. 8 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot at Embers Bar & Grill. Local fire departments will compete in the waterball tournament starting at noon Oct. 8, and the bike show runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“We’ve got a lot going on out there for everybody of all ages to do and enjoy,” Fox said. “We’re using about every square inch and foot that we

can get our hands on.”

There will be a free shuttle bus running between the west end and downtown Tecumseh.

Fox said she expects roughly a 15-20 minute turnaround time for the shuttle between downtown and the west end.

The Downtown section of the Appleumpkin Festival offers activities such as an arts and crafts show, a flea market, the Antiques Street Fair, pumpkin bowling, rides and carnival games. There is also a free Make-ItTake-It tent where people can make their own scarecrows to take home. The festival offers plenty of food such as corn dogs, funnel cakes, caramel apples and lemonade.

Live music will be played at the Appleumpkin Stage and at a secondary stage on South Evans Street.

Despite all of the games and attractions available, Fox’s favorite part of the festival is a way to help children between activities.

“I belong to the Lions Club, and we bring in the Lions Sight Mobile,” Fox said. “We did it for the first time last year. We screened well over 110 kids and found 10 percent of them that needed to be referred for sight problems. I think that’s a great service we can offer.”

The Appleumpkin Festival and Westfest run Oct. 8 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Oct. 9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free to both the events.

“Dance on moonbeams and slide on rainbows” — Bryan Ferry, “Do The Strand”

It’s all about the breath Y

oga postures, or asanas, run the gamut from seemingly impossible and intimidating to deceptively simple and mundane. Almost all of these postures combine strength and suppleness; giving yoga the much-deserved reputation of creating lean, long muscles. Yet it’s the breath that keeps yoga devotees coming back for more.

At the beginning of every class, I remind my students to breathe. This may sound obvious, and often first-time students give me “well, duh” glances. However, once my vinyasa flow class begins, students move their bodies through challenging poses, working muscles they had forgotten they had, and without constant reminders the breath just stops.

“Inhale, exhale,” I say as we flow from pose to pose, and when we stop to hold a posture this breath becomes a critical tool. Not only does the breath tell a student if he has gone too far (e.g., breath-holding or short, ragged gulps of air); it also can help a student hold a demanding pose with much more grace and ease. In short, breath is what makes yoga unique, plain and simple.

“We take our breath for granted,” Kristin McGee, actress, model and New York Citybased celebrity yoga instructor, said during a phone interview. “Tapping into our breath allows us to tap into our potential. No one else can breathe for you. Realizing that every

breath is an opportunity is so empowering.”

The first, most basic breath in yoga is called Ujjayi, or victory breath. The name comes from the proud swell of the lifted chest, like that of a victorious warrior. Ujjayi breath acts to simultaneously quiet and energize the mind.

Additionally, this breathing technique’s sound helps the practitioner stay present.

To start, sit comfortably.

Be fully aware of your posture, Jennifer sitting with the ears above shoulders, shoulders over hips. The shoulders are relaxed and drawn away from the ears, the chin is neither tucked nor tilted upward, but is parallel to the floor. The length of your inhalations and exhalations does not matter, but they should be equal and full. We say in yoga that we eat with our mouths and breathe with our noses. As you can imagine, Ujjayi breath is done through the nostrils, but first take a moment to inhale through your nose and just sigh out your mouth. Imagine you are releasing

pent-up stress from the body with each exhalation.

On your next inhale, sit tall and imagine your lungs as pitchers. Our lungs are three-dimensional, yet shallow, chest-breathing is sadly how many of us take in air throughout our day, creating and perpetuating unnecessary tension. Instead, breathe fully into your back and side body and feel how these deep intakes of air instantly soothe and relax. Feel the skin around your eyes, forehead and jaw soften as you “pour” air into your lungs. Just like a pitcher, fill up your lungs from the bottom to the top. Inhale into the belly (deep into the lungs), then the chest and finally into the throat. Take off one more bite of air and, again thinking of a pitcher, pour the air from the top to the bottom out the throat, the chest and finally the belly. Finish each exhale completely before taking your next inhalation. Now for the sound.

WHITE

Your personal

YOGI

Imagine that you have a hole in the front of your throat. You inhale through this hole, creating an audible intake of breath that sounds similar to the giant, wheezy turtle in “The NeverEnding Story” (or so says my sister).

At first exhale out an open mouth with a “ha” sound in the back of the throat; be heavy on the “h” and light on the “a.” Take another inhale and on this next exhalation close the mouth, exhale out the nose, but continue to make the “ha” sound in the back of the throat.

This will sound much like Darth Vader. Continue to breathe fully and deeply in and out of the nose while practicing this rather noisy breath and voila! You have just learned one of the most important aspects of all yoga practices, the victorious breath.

Whether you try this brief breathing exercise sitting at your desk between sips of coffee or you are proud and victorious in your pajamas at home, you can now tell your co-worker or sleepy spouse that you have just finished practicing yoga. Until next time, keep breathing.

Ash is played by Ryan Zarecki, described by director James Norman as a ‘godsend.’

PHOTO COURTESY ‘EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL’

Splatter zone

By Jason Mack Toledo Free Press Star Web Editor jmack@toledofreepress.com

Washing blood out of your clothes is not part of a traditional night out at the theater, but “Evil Dead the Musical” is anything but traditional.

The musical, opening Oct. 7 at the Valentine Theatre, is based on a series of cult horror movie classics that began with Sam Raimi’s “Evil Dead” in 1981. The plot centers around five college students who spend a weekend in an abandoned cabin and accidentally unleash demons.

The show is not just for fans of the movies.

Director James Norman put the production together without ever watching the films.

“I don’t know a lot of it because I have not watched but about 30 minutes of the second one,” Norman said. “What I hear from my experts is that this plot is based more on the first movie but with the campiness of the second movie. The third movie isn’t really in this much at all. Obviously, fans of the movies get it more, but it’s a piece that’s ridiculous in its campiness and it works.”

One of Norman’s experts is Ryan Zarecki, who plays the lead role of Ash. Zarecki has acted in productions ranging from “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” to “Bloody Bess” to “High School Musical.”

“I’ve run the gamut from god-awful to having a hell of a good time,” Zarecki said.

“Ryan is a dream because he is my expert on ‘Evil Dead’,” Norman said. “He’s seen them all, quotes it all and knows it all right down to what should be worn. He’s helped with a lot of the effects and things. He’s been a godsend for us.”

‘Evil Dead’ at Valentine.

“I’m a big fan of Sam Raimi,” Zarecki said.

“I love ‘Evil Dead.’ I’ve probably watched the second one a lot more than the third one. We obviously don’t cover ‘Army of Darkness.’ Nobody has that budget. We try to stay as truthful to the gore and the effects and the campy double takes as much as we can.”

The campiness and gore have achieved success so far in other productions. The musical began in 2003 in a small bar in Toronto. It has since spread around the world with productions everywhere from New York to Tokyo.

Norman, a part-time English professor at the University of Toledo, has directed for several Toledo-area high schools, sang with the Toledo Opera for 20 years and has directed productions such as “The Full Monty” and “Victor Victoria.”

The gore has forced the actors to learn a completely new dimension of performing.

Every time a gun is fired or a limb severed, the affected actor uses a syringe, ketchup bottle or sandwich bag filled with fake blood to shoot into the first two rows, which are referred to as the “Splatter Zone.”

Anyone interested in getting splattered can call the box office at (419) 242-2787 or visit ValentineTheatre.com for tickets and information.

Tickets are $15, and the show runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. from Oct. 7-28.

The show closes out Oct. 30 with performances at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. The Valentine Theatre is located at 410 Adams St. “It’s just a hilarious night in the theater,” Norman said. “It is 90 minutes, so you’re not giving up your whole night. There’s a cash bar.

It’s a lot of fun, you’re going to laugh a lot, and if you sit in the ‘Splatter Zone’ you might get hit.” O

Sandler to host iPhone photography class Harry Sandler, a pioneer in iPhone photography, will be holding one class to teach Toledoans about “iPhoneography” on Oct. 8 from 11-2 p.m.

Admission to the class is $40. All proceeds will be donated to 1Matters, a volunteer organization which works to change the perception of the homeless, or unhoused, to reflect reality.

The class will be designed for the entry level iPhone artist and is specifically designed for those with an iPhone, iPad or a love of photography.

“The iPhone is eerily reminiscent of that first Polaroid,” Sandler said. “A virtual camera and darkroom in your pocket. Only now with the advent of iPhone 4 applications, one can alter the image to suit that internal vision. It also allows me to push the rules and add my own touch to each and every image right there on the spot.

Additionally, I enjoy the ability to post the images instantly on various platforms on the World Wide Web while traveling the world, a visual diary of sorts.”

Sandler had a 45-year career in rock ’n’ roll touring with artists including Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, Billy Joel, Barbra Streisand, Van Halen, Jewel, Eagles, Steely Dan, John Mellencamp and many others.

“Fair is foul — foul is fair” — Bryan Ferry, “Wildcat Days”

Joy to the world

By Jeff McGinnis Toledo Free Press Star Staff Writer PopGoesJeff@gmail.com

An attractive woman puts her aching feet into a bucket of ice water. She wears a red version of the famous Playboy Bunny costume, trademark ears atop her blond hair. She reaches her hand out and pleads, “Someone please bring me a cigarette ... ” This is how millions of viewers were first introduced to Mildred, a recurring character on NBC’s new Monday night drama “The Playboy Club.” But it’s also how those same viewers were introduced to Olmsted Falls, Ohio, native Jessica Joy, a Bowling Green State University alumna now living in Chicago, where “Club” is filmed.

“I auditioned at a casting office, got called back to audition on the set in front of all the bigwigs, then got put on the dreaded ‘hold,’ which is another way of saying you almost got it when you don’t end up getting it,” Joy said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star. “They have you on hold and they have maybe one other girl out there that you don’t know on hold, and one of you is the first choice and one is the backup and you don’t know which.

“So you just sit and stress, because once you’re on hold, they have to call you and tell you yes or no. They called me at the last minute, which also always happens, to tell me the part was mine.”

Stepping into the famous high heels and ears was just the latest stop in a career that has begun to bloom. Since she first found an agent in 2006, Joy has auditioned for numerous commercials and film projects, including the Larry the Cable Guy vehicle “Witless Protection.” Joy has also worked for years with The Second City in Chicago and is currently a writer/cast member of the critically lauded show “The Sky’s the Limit (Weather Permitting)” on its e.t.c. stage.

Joy said she was very positive about “Playboy Club” even before she began to work on it.

“The ’60s are cool like Marilyn Monroe is cool — because so much time has passed that you don’t remember all the bad stuff. So now we just remember it as a glossy, swingin’ time, which is what ‘The Playboy Club’ is. I cringe when women get all feministy, so I liked the idea of a show where women were allowed to be about sex for once. Nothing wrong with that,” she said.

She also had no qualms about wearing the famously racy “Bunny” attire.

“Not at all. To be wearing such an iconic outfit was thrilling. And those outfits suck you in hard, so everyone looked amazing. It was hard not to stare,” Joy said.

For someone who comes primarily from a comedic background to transition to a world of beautiful young ingenues seems like an odd fit, but Joy insisted working with the “Club” cast was a (no pun intended) joy.

“Coming from Second City, where everyone is razzing on everyone else and doing smart bits at breakneck speed, I thought the Playboy girls were going to be terrifyingly haughty and stuckup and that they’d hate a comedy nerd like me.

But every single one of them was just as fun as my Second City cast, and it wasn’t long before we were doing bits too,” she said.

Joy said the show’s star, Laura Benanti, “has come to see my Second City show twice now, and fits right in with the comedy folks.

She even played our improv set! She’s the best thing on that show, and we’re all just going to sit back and watch her slowly become a huge star.”

As far as her own impact on the viewing public, Joy said the biggest thrill connected with the project remains the moment she got the role, rather than seeing herself on-screen.

“First, because there was an entire scene for the audition where I was the lead, talking about medical school, which got cut before I even showed up on set, and second, because I looked weird on TV. My face looks like a puppy,” she joked.

Now that the show has made the airwaves, Joy said she is enjoying the fruits of their labor.

“‘Playboy Club’ is kind of my perfect show — it’s a soap opera, but set in a time and place that’s interesting, and involves big bands and flashy costumes,” she said.

Despite an Oct. 4 report that “The Playboy Club” was scheduled for cancellation, Joy re-

mains cautiously optimistic.

“I hope the show continues, and that they either write me a bigger part, or kill me off spectacularly. But I think Mildred needs to have at least one scene where she gives someone an emergency tracheotomy. I mean, she is in medical school.” O

pizzas then and people used every bit of food they had available, even the marrow from cow bones.

It arrived in a form that I can only describe as “melted beef fat” and didn’t have a strikingly strong taste on its own. I was told by the chef that people really like the consistency and texture of the bone marrow and that it is used as a “vessel” to deliver the sweet onion marmalade.

After tasting a bit of it, I thought about going all “Captain Caveman” on the two beef bones, ditching my fork and just picking them up and sucking the marrow out. Seeing how nice my wife looked in her dress and the fact that we were out on a date made me decide to “stay classy” like Ron Burgandy would want me to.

The appetizers and specialty burgers aren’t the only unique things you’ll find on the menu at Burger Bar 419. There are also some fun flavors of milkshakes, such as PB&J, avocado and banana’s Foster.

Everything I tried at Burger Bar 419 was delicious and distinctive but the character of the place didn’t end with the food. The beaded curtains made of ball bearings, along with chairs and booths that simultaneously look retro and modern industrial, give the place a unique feel.

The hanging metallic lights provided illumination without overpowering fluorescence, and the brightly colored paintings adorning the walls and the eclectic mix of music filling the background completed the relaxed, yet classy atmosphere.

The centerpiece of the dining room is a giant, thick, wooden Last Supper-style table that would be perfect for large groups and parties.

Since the word “Bar” does appear in the name, it only makes sense that there is a separate, small bar area for patrons who would rather just hang out and watch the game or chill out and sample the colossal array of domestic beers and micro brews. My wife and I counted about 30 different beers in all, not bad.

Burger Bar 419 is co-owned by Tony House and Moussa Salloukh. The two formed a good team while working together at Cousino’s Navy Bistro, with Salloukh serving as general manager and House filling the role of Executive Chef.

A Burger Bar 419 masterpiece.

PHOTO BY JOSEPH HERR

After Navy Bistro closed, House and Salloukh, who is also part owner of La Scola Italian Grill and The Hungry I, decided to try something a little different.

The “419” part of the Burger Bar 419 name is a reference, of course, to Toledo’s area code, but also serves as a reminder to patrons that nearly everything that they are eating has been grown, raised or purchased locally — one of the reasons that the food here tastes so unbelievably fresh.

The prices for the appetizers seemed somewhat high, $5-10 for the small portions you get, but the overall price was fair to middling for the quality. You won’t find any “Happy Meals” at the Burger Bar 419, (hell, they don’t even have a kids’ menu), but I’m pretty sure I saw the Hamburgler slinking out of there with mustard on his shirt the night we were there. I guess he knows what I now know — if you want real, thick, fresh, tasty burgers, you have to go to the 419. O

Nothing fishy about Aquaman No. 1

By Jim Beard Toledo Free Press Star Staff Writer star@toledofreepress.com

You’ve all heard the jokes about Aquaman — no need to repeat them here — so why is DC Comics going fishing with a spotlight book for the much-maligned Monarch of the Seven Seas? Well, they’re offering some world-class bait in the wriggling forms of their top writer Geoff Johns and one of their fan-favorite artists Ivan Reis, to reel readers in and dispel all the fishy funnies made at Aquaman’s expense. And it’s already working, because one of Toledo’s top comic a-fish-ionados seems to like this new No. 1 issue.

“Finally, after being the butt of jokes on ‘Family Guy’ and Craig Ferguson, the Sea King has a series to be proud of,” touts Jim Collins of JC’s Comic Stop. “This series from DC’s ‘New 52’ shows the founding Justice League member as he answers the question everyone thinks they already know the answer to: he doesn’t talk to fish — their brains are too primitive to hold a

conversation. He just pushes them into doing what he needs. Aquaman No. 1 shows he’s more than capable of stopping a simple bank robbery and we’re introduced to an ancient threat from the darkest depths of the sea. We also see that Aquaman yearns for a simpler life and makes a decision that’ll change everything. All in all, Aquaman No. 1 was a most enjoyable comic. Congrats to DC Comics! If you missed this sold-out issue, the second printing will be out when issue No. 2 ships [this month].”

And just in time for Halloween, Collins reminds us that The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror has already dropped into shops and is ready for undead-like consumption.

“Three wonderful stories by top creators!” Collins said. “My favorite would have to be the homage to the EC comics from the 1950s, from the ‘yellowed’ paper, the mascot telling the tale to the ... well ,that would be telling wouldn’t it? You also get a ‘Star Wars’/zombie parody that ties into ‘Itchy & Scratchy’ and which just has to be seen! The first tale is inspired by that first vampire Nosferatu, with the best possible person to play the bloodsucker ... Mr. Burns!” O

“Sometimes she’s borrowed but she’s never blue.” — Bryan Ferry, “Tokyo Joe”

1Matters concert set for Oct. 14 Former “American Idol” contestant Candice Coleman and blues guitarist Pat Lewandowski are teaming for “Toledo Streets Birthday Benefit and Pub Party,” a collaboration between 1Matters and Toledo Free Press to benefit Toledo Streets.

“We love that this is another example of the community coming together to help change lives,” said 1Matters founder Ken Leslie.

Toledo Streets is a nonprofit publication started in 2009 by Amanda Moore to help the unhoused earn money and have their voices heard.

“It is to give people a viable employment opporLESLIE tunity,” Leslie said. “We really like to see panhandlers putting down their signs and picking up papers.”

Coleman and Lewandowski are veterans of 1Matters charity events, and Leslie is happy to have them performing again.

“Candice Coleman is fantastic,” Leslie said.

“She is somebody with a huge heart and lots of

compassion. Pat Lewandowski is a hero, and he has been the musical director for every Tent City since 1990. He’s the only other person besides me who has been to every single one.”

Coleman, a Start High School graduate, was a semifinalist in the Top 32 during the second season of “American Idol.” Lewandowski is a four-time winner of the Black Swamp Battle of the Bands and a recipient of the Little Walter Mitchell Award.

The concert is Oct. 14 at The Blarney Bullpen from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. Admission is $5. It is the first time 1Matters has hosted an event at The Blarney Bullpen, 601 Monroe St. There will be snacks available with a cash bar, and there will be additional opportunities to donate with all proceeds benefiting 1Matters.

“The most important thing is it gives people a chance to get financial autonomy to secure domestic autonomy,” Leslie said. “If it’s your dad that’s out of work and you’re a kid that’s in a shelter, it gives you a chance to be able to get your own place again through gainful employment.” O — Jason Mack

Fundraiser to support community garden A Downtown community garden will benefit from a night out at a Raising the Bar event at the Ottawa Tavern on Oct. 8.

Tips and raffle proceeds received between 6 and 9 p.m. Oct. 8 will go to Manos Community Garden, near Jackson and 14th streets. The garden is a project of Toledo GROWs, the community gardening outreach program of Toledo Botanical Garden.

Courtney Billian and Emily Ellis of Toledo GROWs will serve as guest bartenders during the event.

Money raised will be used to purchase protective topcoat for a 200-foot wall in the garden, which will feature seven murals designed by local artists, as well as plants and raised vegetable planting beds.

The Ottawa Tavern, 1817 Adams St., regularly offers the opportunity for local organizations to raise money through guest bartender events. O — Sarah Ottney

Jackson graduated from UT with degrees in creative writing and communications, and in 2006 he earned a master’s in creative writing from New York University.

“Nobody cares/Nobody but me.” — Bryan Ferry, “Cruel”

‘X-Men’ underwhelming, lacks replay value

By Michael Siebenaler Toledo Free Press Star Staff Writer star@toledofreepress.com

“X-Men Destiny” (Activision) sets the series back with an underwhelming experience and low replay value. “X-Men: Destiny” focuses on new mutant recruits who find themselves unsettled without Professor X’s peaceful presence. The X-Men, Brotherhood, and mutant-hating humans called the Purifiers present endless characters and scenarios in a oneplayer story-based format, but the limited buttonmashing combat disappoints. The familiar low strategy, beat ’em up combat needs sharper graphics and fewer clipping issues — fantasy elements lessen when players constantly see objects and people unnaturally go through things.

Combat puts players beside and against characters like Emma Frost, Gambit and Wolverine in massive melees where players can just wail on everything coming at them without hurting their allies. The boss fights confuse and frustrate, even in the easiest mode, especially when essential instructions come too late and players have no available energy boosts.

The options seem impressive at first, but basically do not mean much. Players get combat choices during key moments (energy projection, shadow matter or destiny control), but they do not change the story significantly. There are no online or co-operative modes, so the game depends on the story. Players cannot skip past the dialogue but can choose dialogue areas, which, unfortunately, do not change game outcomes. Character customization basically mashes character powers together for minimal variety.

Players can choose from three different difficulties (a higher difficulty usually just means more enemies) and use a radar screen to navigate and spot incoming enemies. Players can easily spot shiny places on buildings and objects to jump while helpful icons prompt special action spots like “ground pounds” to access undercover levels. Experienced players can conquer this underwhelming action game, but only big X-Men/hero and beat ’em up game fans get the biggest benefit here (PlayStation 3 review rating is **, rated T for action violence, mild language and mild suggestive themes; also available on Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360).

was first introduced to “Angry Birds” by friends, a typical starting point in this particular viral game’s life cycle. I was told it was insanely fun, I had to try it, it was easy, addicting, etc., etc., etc.

I have an Android phone, so downloading the game was free. For a while, I was indeed having fun. For the three of you who haven’t played it, JEFF “Angry Birds” is a game where you slingshot cute, round birds into buildings and forts which house evil green pigs. The pigs don’t even fight back — they just sit there. If I was at home and someone started pelting the walls with dive-bombing feathered foes, I’d at least get up to see what was going on.

The basic idea of the game is pretty simplistic, and there’s nothing wrong with that. No one could argue that “Tetris” or “Pac-Man” were particularly deep on their surfaces, either. But the thing is, with both of those games there was more to them than the surface. Tetris invites strategy and quick thinking. “Pac-Man” requires fierce hand-eye coordination to survive.

In my time with “Birds,” I found myself increasingly frustrated. There is some strategy in how one can play, but it’s limited by the game’s structure. And the effectiveness of any planning can be easily undermined by the touch controls, which are so sensitive your bird can end up going in wildly different directions regardless of how consistent you think your aim is.

So, I uninstalled the game and got back to other pursuits. My experience and opinion is an exception, however. “Birds” has rapidly become one of the most wildly popular games in the world, with a reported total of more than 350 million downloads across numerous systems. T-shirts and plush dolls are everywhere. Few mobile devices have not been used to play the game at some point. There’s even — yes — an “Angry Birds” movie in the works.

The phenomenon has brought a world of attention (and a boatload of cash) to Rovio, the small developer out of Finland that created the game. And said developer has not let the attention go to waste.

Peter Vesterbacka, the company’s founder and CEO, has gone on record that console games are “dead” and mobile, social games like his are the shape of things to come. He noted his disdain for the term “casual gaming,” complaining that you never hear people discuss “casual movies.”

IGN.com even noted how the game has seen more copies moved than Nintendo icon Mario, who in his quarter-century on the market has sold “only” 262 million copies.

When something is as successful as “Birds,” its creators can be forgiven for becoming a

Is Rovio’s “Angry Birds” a harbinger of things to come for video games?

little smug in their success.

However, I think Rovio and Vesterbacka may need a bit of a reality check before they start proclaiming themselves the undisputed way of the future.

As noted, I got my copy of the game for free. Rovio still made its money off of me (damn pop-up ads), but the game costs, at most, $4.99 for the iPad version. Each of those Mario titles Nintendo sold cost anywhere from $40-60. I think that kinda minimizes the difference in numbers sold a bit.

Yeah, but more people are playing, right? So that means “Birds” is bigger, right? In the short term, perhaps. But long term has yet to be seen. People forget that for all the success that “Birds” has found, it’s still been on the market for only about two years.

The lifecycle of a casual-gaming sensation can be a lot shorter than its console counterparts’. The general public’s imagination is gained and lost

much quicker than you’d think.

Remember a few years ago, when “Guitar Hero” was the undisputed king of all gaming and folks everywhere were having parties and music games were “the way of the future” and on and on? Yeah. Now, after oversaturation and public disinterest, music games are a non-issue. The Wii — a console built specifically for the casual market — was also the cat’s meow for a bit. But the novelty wore off and the majority of Wiis sit, unused, in the rec rooms of their “casual gaming” owners, while hardcore gamers continue to plug away on their XBox 360s and PS3s.

This is why Vesterbacka’s other gripe — about the use of the term “casual gaming” itself — is also hollow at the core. His metaphor about how you never hear about “casual movies” is nonsense — there are plenty of moviegoers who only see simple, mindless stuff. That’s why “Transformers” makes a mint, while brilliant, challenging films struggle. But the smaller films will last forever, while “Transformers” will be forgotten in a few years.

Rovio should be proud of its success, certainly. But before praising itself as the future of gaming, it should check to make sure its own pig shelter isn’t made of glass. O Email Jeff at PopGoesJeff@gmail.com.
