Meet John Dough Local clothing line expanding into Villa, boutiques. By Mighty Wyte TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAR STAFF WRITER star@toledofreepress.com

Anyone who has designed or dreamed of designing clothing hopes to have his or her product in stores worldwide. Toledoan Donney McMullin, owner of the John Dough Brand clothing line, is beginning to see that dream come true. “John Dough Brand has been around since 2005,” said the Toledo native. “Our shirts’ first instore appearance was at Diamond’s Men’s Shop and that was amazing.” Seven years later and after countless phone calls, emails and sleepless nights designing the John Dough apparel, McMullin is gaining national traction. “John Dough Brand is now in Villa,” McMullin said. Villa is a 150-store sneaker boutique based in Philadelphia. “I worked with the owners of Villa in the past and I was giving them pointers on how to work with local brands for each store. Villa is all over the East Coast and the Midwest, and they wanted to pursue local branding for each store. I eventually got to the point where I could pursue the strategy I had given them for finding local brands, and John Dough has been chosen to represent the Toledo market.” While getting into Villa is a big step, John Dough is enjoying success at local vendors as well. “You can find John Dough in all three L.A. Collection stores here, The Loonar Station on Central and Mr. E’s on Reynolds,” McMullin said. “The Villa placement is exciting and I’m hoping to expand into their other markets as the John Dough Brand continues to grow here in Toledo.” While McMullin continues to look toward the horizon, he has not lost sight of Toledo. “I was born and raised here,” he said. “I’m very proud to be a Toledoan and I’m exceptionally proud of our people. We have a lot of amazing talent here and the artists here are going to be a major part of my plans to grow the brand.” The next step for McMullin and his clothing brand is to join forces with Toledo’s hip-hop community to put together a mixtape. “We are working on collecting artists and producers to put together a mixtape that will be free to download with the purchase of a John Dough shirt,” McMullin said. “We are working closely with local production duo ‘Legion’ to put this together and make sure it’s world-class. We have a unique opportunity to show Toledo off in a way that can bring the right attention here.” O

Portraying life TMA exhibit focuses on Manet’s portraits. By Sarah Ottney TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

A new exhibit at the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) drew from more than 30 public and private collections worldwide to comprise the first exhibit focused on the portraiture of 19th century French painter Édouard Manet. “Manet: Portraying Life” opened Oct. 7 and runs through Jan. 1. Toledo is the only American venue for the exhibition. After TMA, the works will be exhibited at London’s Royal Academy of Arts. “This exhibit has been a long time in the making,” said TMA Director Brian Kennedy. “This is an important examination of a very important artist.” Often credited as “the father of modernity,” Manet’s style inspired many well-known Impressionists, including Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet and Edgar Degas. “A lot has to do with what he put in and what he left out,” Kennedy said, referencing “The Railway,” Manet’s painting of a girl looking at a train. The train is not in the painting, only steam from its engine. “In the way Manet encapsulates his period, we have a window into the birth of our modernity.” Manet was born in 1832, just as daguerreotype photography was being developed, said cocurator Lawrence Nichols, TMA’s senior curator of European and American painting and sculpture before 1900. He painted straight portraits, which depict the physical appearance of an individual, as well as genre scenes, in which subjects became actors in representations of contemporary life in 19th century Paris. “Manet painted his family, friends and literary, political and artistic figures of his day, often in casual settings rather than traditionally posed portraits,” according to a news release. “His sub-

jects come to life on canvas, making the viewer curious to know more about these people and their lives.” His portraits are representations of love, the Industrial Revolution, social unrest, war and more, Nichols said. “He was depicting his day and he was also responding to photography, which was new,” Nichols said. “He was living in an age in which the reproduction and representation of faces was expanding exponentially with photography.” Nichols hopes Manet’s works prompt viewers to contemplate their conception of self, something especially relevant in today’s social media-saturated culture, Nichols said. “It is very much about 2012 and what it means to conceive of yourself and what it means to be perceived by others,” Nichols said. “How many times do we pull out our own cameras and take pictures of family and friends or have our picture taken?” The exhibit includes 34 oils and five pastels by Manet, Nichols said. There are also photographs, prints and books. The pieces are on loan from museums in Europe, North America and Japan. “Édouard Manet is one of the major artists in Western European painting tradition. Michelangelo, Raphael, Rembrandt — Manet ranks among these, absolutely. This excites the daylights out of me,” Nichols said. “This is a very wonderful opportunity. There will definitely be no other chance to see this number of Manets in Toledo in the very near future. It’s not exhaustive, but we have some

Artoberfest

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Artoberfest offers attendees the chance to eat, drink and be merry at the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) plus tour the museum’s two newest exhibits, “Manet: Portraying Life” and “Made in Hollywood.” Sponsored by Circle 2445, Artoberfest is designed to draw a younger crowd to the museum, said Circle 2445 board member Lisa Reyerse. “We want to make the museum a destination for the 24 to 45 age range, so it’s something in their minds to do on a Friday night,” Reyerse said. Circle 2445 is a group of young professionals who organize special events at the museum and act as ambassadors for TMA. The name comes

from the museum’s address, 2445 Monroe St., but also represents the age range of people the museum wants to attract, said TMA director of communications Kelly Fritz Garrow. “No one is going to get carded and turned away at the door, but it’s definitely a little bit younger crowd than what comes to our traditional major donor events,” Garrow said of Artoberfest. “We’re trying to engage with the Generation X and Millennial generations.” Artoberfest is set for 6-10 p.m. Oct. 18 in Libbey Court. Advance tickets are $15 for members and $25 for nonmembers. Tickets at the door are $20 for members and $30 for nonmembers. Last year’s inaugural event, which drew about 250 people, had a German feel, Garrow said. This year’s event will be more FrancoGerman, said Jackie Tussing, TMA develop-

TMA event to feature food, drink, art. Garrow said. “Manet in particular is really a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity. These paintings are from around the world. You literally would have to travel for months, from Tokyo to Budapest to Paris to Belgium, to see all these paintings. It’s something we want this generation to understand — that the museum is here every week putting on great events, but once in a while, there’s kind of a can’t-miss type thing and Manet is that thing.” Tussing said she hopes the event is well-attended and people have a good time. “I hope they just have a wonderful time with their friends and view our world-class exhibitions,” Tussing said. “I’m not sure if people understand what a big deal Manet is. It’s going to be great.” For more information or to reserve tickets, call (419) 255-8000, Ext. 7432, or visit toledomuseum.org/events/circle2445. O

ment officer for special projects. “This year we’re doing German with a little French twist,” Tussing said. “That will be the inspiration for the food.” Besides Franco-German hors d’oeuvres, Heidelberg Distributing will offer tasting tables featuring German and French beers and wines. Local folk band Jack & the Bear will perform. There will also be a raffle for “Manet” and “Made in Hollywood” merchandise, a silent auction for glassware made by Glass Studio Manager Jeff Mack and a cash bar. The event will not include the scavenger hunt or flashlight tour it did last year, because organizers want to keep the focus on the exhibitions. “It’s going to be a really good opportunity for people to get in and see ‘Manet’ and ‘Made in Hollywood’ without having to fight the crowds,”

On Halloween, kids can be anything from Spider-Man to a witch to the Little Mermaid. But not all families can afford to give their kids the chance to dress up as their heroes — which is why Gina Fielding organized Andrew Z’s Costume Giveaway. “[Halloween is] basically a fantasy night for kids. They get to be whatever they want; they get free candy; they get to walk around after dark,” said Fielding, social media director for “Andrew Z in the Morning” and Toledo Free Press. ANDREW Z People can drop off costumes at one of five locations or call Fielding at (567) 694-8204 to arrange a pickup. During business hours, drop-off locations include TFP, 605 Monroe St., Toledo; Cumulus Studios, 3225 Arlington Ave., Toledo; Lucky Diamonds, 2007 N. Holland-Sylvania Ave., Toledo; Yeeha’s Buckin’ Bar and Grill, 3150 Navarre Ave., Oregon; and Halloween Express, 3448 W. Sylvania Ave., Toledo. At Halloween Express, anyone who donates a kid’s costume can receive 15 percent off their purchases. All donated costumes will be sterilized. The giveaway is set for 4-6 p.m. Oct 19 at the United Way of Greater Toledo building at 424 Jackson St., Downtown. There will be free pumpkins and face painting. Fielding decided to organize a giveaway after

she realized she had old costumes from her own kids lying around. “I called Andrew and said, ‘Let’s do something for Halloween,’” she said. “It’s a way to ease parents’ mind with the economy.” She also pointed out that most costumes should be in good shape because they are usually only worn for a couple of hours. After getting the radio personality involved, Fielding hit the Web to gather costumes and support. “So many people are just like, ‘Yes!’ We ended up with a great response,” Fielding said. Still, if Fielding hopes to reach her goal of 100 costumes, more donations are needed. Fielding was also inspired to organize the drive because of her own experiences. “A few years back, I had some serious financial problems. I was on the receiving end of a lot of the charity and I believe in giving back,” she said. In the neighborhood she was living in, “A lot of kids would come to the door in nothing but daddy’s basketball jersey and mommy’s eyeshadow under their eyes or no costume at all,” Fielding said, adding that in the choice between groceries and a costume, food wins. Even homemade costumes cost something, she added. Fielding also said that not being able to afford a costume is probably harder on the parents than the children. “It hurts. It’s very painful to not be able to do something as seemingly simple as a Halloween costume,” Fielding said. O — Brigitta Burks

Defiance man plans events for the LGBTQA community By Brigitta Burks Toledo Free Press Star News Editor bburks@toledofreepress.com

‘‘

Last October, Seth Schlegel had a difficult time getting through his speech at Defiance Pride. It was the first event of its type for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and allied (LGBTQA) community in the city of 16,000. “I looked out across the crowd and it just hit, like it’s really happening. I became very emotional,” said Schlegel, president of the Defiance Pride Foundation. Last year, he told the crowd, “Keep your head held high, smile and wave. Say ‘thank you’ if you hear ‘faggot’ or ‘queer.’ Be proud of who you are.” “We are all God’s children and like Lady Gaga says, we were born this way.” In 2011, about 40-50 people walked in Defiance Pride. This year’s event is set for 3 p.m. Oct. 13 at Triangle Park, by the town clock. The eventgoers will walk three laps and then reconvene at Triangle Park before going to a potluck and raffle at UAW Park. Schlegel also organizes “Alternative Lifestyle Nights” on the last Wednesday of every month at Westwood Salon, 2103 Baltimore St., Defiance. Since this month’s event is on Halloween, there will be a costume contest. Schlegel has encountered some resistance in planning events for Defiance’s LGBTQA community. Alternative Lifestyle Night was hosted at another venue originally — but the day after the first event in April, the establishment received death threats. “The owner told me the only way he would be able to have another was if it were a private party. Of course, I don’t have the money to do that,” Schlegel said. Luckily, he found another venue and the nights have been a success. “There have been times where I’m like, ‘Do I want to continue to do this?’ because I’m afraid no one’s gonna show up,” he said with a laugh. Still, people keep attending. “Everyone keeps coming up and thanking me for doing it and I’m not the one that needs to be thanked. They’re the ones who need to be thanked for coming out and making these events Heated In-Room Pools

successful,” Schlegel said. He decided to arrange the first Pride walk last year to bring the movement closer to Defiance. “If I wanted to go to Pride, I either had to go to Toledo, Columbus, Fort Wayne, Cleveland [or] Indianapolis,” he said. “I also knew and realized how the community of Western Ohio looked at the homosexual community and I wanted to change that. I didn’t like being discriminated against just because I’m a gay man.” Growing up in Paulding County, Schlegel was not out, but was still pushed into lockers and punched. “It was like they knew, even though I didn’t tell them,” he said. “I didn’t have anybody to talk to. I didn’t have anybody that I could go to as far as teachers, guidance counselors.” This is why Schlegel is a big believer in antibullying education. “If parents can teach their kids to love and accept everyone … then we wouldn’t have all these teen suicides that are going on,” he said. Today when Schlegel is called names while out in public, he is ready with a response. “A lot of times, I just turn around and say, ‘Thank you.’ That’s telling them ‘I don’t care what you think … I’m thanking you for realizing who I am,’” he said. Defiance Pride is also organizing two LGBTQ proms, one for youth and one for adults. The dates will be announced. For more information, visit www.facebook. com/defiance.pride. O

STAR @ the movies ‘Frankenweenie’

James A. Molnar, TFP film editor:

”The box office is getting a little undead this week with Tim Burton’s black-and-white stop motion-animated remake of his 1984 short film. The fantasy film has Burton’s style written all over it. While the story has good heart, it seems overly long and is not his best work. Note: It may be too frightful for kids under 10.”

‘Pitch Perfect’

James A. Molnar, TFP film editor:

”The story follows an all-girls a cappella group and it is fun to watch on screen. The editing is well done. The music and songs mixed are fantastic. And the comedy is spot on. Rebel Wilson (‘Bridesmaids’) gives a great performance as Fat Amy and Anna Kendrick does some fine acting as well. It’s a great time at the movies.”

“Above all keep your colors fresh!” — Édouard Manet

Memphis bound Blues artists compete for Memphis trip. By Brigitta Burks Toledo Free Press Star News Editor bburks@toledofreepress.com

OCTOBER OCTOBER OCTOBER13, 13, 13,2012 2012 2012

About 15 blues acts will duel at the Black Swamp Blues Society 16th Annual Challenge on Oct. 13. The winners of the solo/duo and band categories will travel to Memphis, Tenn., in late January to compete in the International Blues Challenge. The local youth winners, the New Blues Street Project, were selected in August and will also travel to Tennessee. The blues society helps fund the winners’ trips, said LaVonne Kujawa, president of the blues society. Artists are judged based on originality, stage presence, blues, vocal and instrumental content. The society gets its judges from out of town to keep things neutral, but Kujawa has judged contests in other cities. “I really look for a person feeling the music. Some just think about the music. I want them to feel it,” she said. The challenge usually draws between 150180 attendees, Kujawa said. “All the bands hopefully try to let their friends and band followers know if they’re competing,” she said. “There’s a lot of cheering going on.”

Some bands from last year’s challenge have broken up or formed new bands or solo/duo acts. “New bands have been formed and new sounds will be made and their originality will be different than the usual bands you hear,” Kujawa said. Last year, The Good the Bad and the Blues won the band category. Tom & Alex Clawson won the solo/duo section and Benny and the Bricks won the youth category. The New Blues Street Project competed in the adult category last year, said Alex Meingast, the 17-year-old guitarist/vocalist for the group. “We got smoked,” he said. But this year was a different story for the group that includes Ian Darling, Steven Murtonen and Zack Swartz, all teens from southeast Michigan. The group is looking forward to traveling to Memphis. “I’ve heard all about Memphis. It sounds like an awesome place for music. I’m sure it will be an awesome trip,” Meingast said, adding that he is also looking forward to seeing the adults play Oct. 13. The New Blues Street Project formed about two years ago. “Ian Darling and I, we had the same guitar teacher. Our teacher got us playing together and we kinda started jamming together,” Meingast said. The two discovered a love of blues and soon the other two members came onboard.

Meingast said he finds blues more accessible than traditional music. “When I started playing music, everything I played was always something I had memorized or I had read off a sheet. When I discovered blues, I discovered improvisation,” he said. “It’s easier to express myself and the music is more exciting.” His group will play between 4:40-5:30 p.m. when the other acts are on break. The blues society was formed in 1996. “We try to keep music live. We bring in national acts, hopefully at a cost that people can come and see,” Kujawa said.

On Jan. 15 in conjunction with Way Public Library, the society will start a six-week American film and music series, in which a band will kick off the evening and films fitting that music genre will follow. Blues will be the first topic at 7 p.m. Jan. 15 at the Owens Community College Center for Performing Arts. For the challenge, doors open at 2 p.m. Oct. 13 at the Maumee Elks building, 137 W. Wayne St. Food and a bar will be available. Tickets are $10 for blues society members and $12 for the public. For more information and a full schedule, visit www.bsbs.net. O

Smoking Popes will appear at Mickey Finn’s Pub on Oct. 18. PHOTO COURTESY WESTERN PUBLICITY

Smoking Popes to light it up at Finn’s Those love songs with cool crooning over punk power guitar chords by The Smoking Popes rage on. The band’s 1995 classic “Born to Quit” will be reissued Oct. 23 with two bonus tracks. “I am just overjoyed that people are still responding to the music,” said singer and guitarist Josh Caterer. “When we go out and play the songs from this album, we can see that there are people in the audience who have a relationship to the songs. This is the benefit of having been around for a while. People have had a chance to interact with the songs and develop kind of a place in their heart for this music, so you can see when you start playing a certain song, people just smile.” The Smoking Popes will perform the disc in its entirety Oct. 18 at 8 p.m. at Mickey Finn’s Pub. Roll the Tanks and Capaul will open. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Caterer said not everyone loved the album when it first came out on a small punk label. “We played several of the songs from ‘Born to Quit,’ which most of the songs on the album are kind of mid-tempo, romantic pop songs, not as punk as our earlier stuff, and the [Chicago club] audience frankly hated it,” he recalled. “People were actually throwing things at us by the end of the set. So we felt like we had kind of alienated ourselves from the punk crowd that we had been playing to up to that point. “Then once the album got picked up by Capitol [Records], that’s when the critical ac-

claim started rolling in and kind of validating the album, which was nice.” “Need You Around,” the first single from the disc, was featured on the soundtrack for the movie “Clueless.” “‘Need You Around’ is a direct homage to Frank Sinatra,” Caterer said during a call from Barrington, Ill. He and his brothers, guitarist Eli Caterer and bassist Matt Caterer, started the band in 1991. Seven years later, Josh left. But 2005 brought them together for a concert. “It wasn’t until after we played the reunion show that we realized how special this music had been to our fans,” Josh said. “We weren’t sure before that if people were going to care that we were getting back together or if anybody was going to come to the show. But when the show was announced, it sold out really quickly and there was a lot of excitement about it.” The front man for the Popes was excited to mention his solo EP, “The Light of Christ,” which came out Oct. 4. “It’s kind of a gospel-type collection of songs. These are songs that I’ve written for the [Village Church of Barrington] over the years. I’ve been serving as a band leader in church, I’ve written several songs that we use during our worship time, and I finally recorded these into an album,” he said. “If people want info about that, they can go to joshcaterer.com.” O — Vicki L.

gas cans, scaled-up toy trucks from when I was a kid, a wall drawing ... definitely a mix of installation, sculpture, painting, with some prints. Toledo Free Press Star: What’s the overall statement you’re trying to make with this work? NELSON Nelson: Well, the title of the show is “All Questions, No Answers.” It’s a reflection of whatever is manifested inside myself and decides to make its way out as an image or form. I don’t make an overall message for people. There are a lot of yin/yangs or positive/negative mirrors in the work. I think if there’s an overall message it would be an understanding that we are all the same and to realize that the worst of all society, and the best, is in each of us. I don’t think you can express that in words or images, but I’ll try. Toledo Free Press Star: What’s your opinion on the local arts community? Nelson: I’ve only been involved for less than a year, but I found a really great group of people here. The encouragement that I find not just in the words of others but also in their actions is tons of motivation for me. I’m happy to be a part of it.

Nelson will celebrate the opening of his solo exhibition, “All Questions, No Answers,” at 7 p.m. Oct. 19 at Bozarts. O

he gentleman on the other end of the phone was discussing the first presidential debate. “It was interesting,” he said. “I think everyone was surprised by the fact that Mitt Romney was coming across as seminormal. I mean, I don’t know what the f*** he was saying, but as a human being, JEFF he came across. I mean, he talked about his kids, and he just connected with people. And that’s been his biggest problem is his disconnect. And I think even Obama was shocked by the fact that he was being so normal. “And Obama just seems tired, his demeanor seems tired. I mean, it’s a lot of work being president, you can’t just f***ing sit back, you know?” As times and people change, a comic’s material must evolve if he is going to stay current. Case in point: The words above come from former MTV veejay, movie star, comedian and “weasel” Pauly Shore. Shore made a name for himself in the late ’80s and early ’90s as the quintessential Valley Dude, a persona that earned him both wild popularity and widespread scorn in seemingly equal measure. But now, the 44-year-old comic and selfdescribed news junkie has begun to adapt his material to focus on a new setting, far removed from the skateboards and beach bums of his youth — the wacky world of Washington, D.C. “Like, I’m a little bit older now, a little bit crustier around the edges, you know,” Shore said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star. “I’d like to say I go out and party and get laid every night, but I don’t. You know, I like to take it easy, I like to watch the news. I’m very stimulated by these Republicans and Democrats and independents, that whole world. “I mean, Washington is like Hollywood for ugly people. You know, I’m entertained by them. So, like, some people will watch ‘Two and a Half Men’ to be entertained; I watch, like, Fox News, you know? Like Bill O’Reilly is, like, so pompous I love it. It’s just funny, you know?” Shore has focused the natural humor of politics into his stand-up act, which returns to the Toledo area on Oct. 11 with a gig at the Funny Bone at Fat Fish Blue. “It’s a stress reliever,” Shore said of his standup. “It’s like therapy, you know? It relaxes me. “I feel more comfortable, like, onstage than in, like, a group of five or 10 people, you know? Maybe because they’re all strangers, you know?” The repeated use of “like” and “you know” indicate that Shore hasn’t completely left his old persona behind — not that it’s really a persona. “How did it start? I’m trying to think. I

His dad was a freewheeling stage presence, while his mom has “kinda always gone with her feelings, you know. So that’s kinda me. I got that from her, I think.” His newfound interest in political humor has also been channeled into a new special, “Pauly-tics,” available for download on his website, paulyshore.com. The show includes not only Shore’s stand-up, but interviews with political luminaries like Larry King and former presidential candidate Herman Cain. “Thankfully, I think they have a kindness

PAULY SHORE toward me,” Shore said of his interview subjects. “Or if they don’t know me, their handlers probably explained who I am ... and then, they all wanna be on TV. And if you pitch it to ’em, ‘It’s like ‘Saturday Night Live’ or ‘Jon Stewart,’ or something like that, they wanna show themselves having a sense of humor.” But despite his treading into subjects that are far more divisive than his usual fare, Shore assured his fans — both those watching the special or seeing him live at Funny Bone — not to expect him to delve too far into “serious issues.” “Well, first of all, none of the issues I discuss are serious,” Shore joked. “The way I approach it is, I put Pauly Shore into politics. That’s why it’s ‘Paulytics.’ I put myself into the world, so if I was running for mayor, if I were running for president, we’d do it this way. It’s more light and fun, you know?” O
