Charleston kicks into high gear around thistime of year. SEWE is the spark, and the firecontinues through the Wine + Food Festival,Charleston Fashion Week, North CharlestonArts Festival, Piccolo and Spoleto Festivals.

This year I’ve vowed to get even more involvedand deeply experience each festival. I’ve alwayswatched from afar, choosing to just dip my toesin our city’s big events instead of diving in com-pletely. Not in 2011.

On that note, I CAN’T WAIT to dig deeper intothis year’s Wine + Food Festival. Food is love.Love is food. You dig?

Footlight’s ‘Fat Pig’ is in the eye of the beholderBY DUFFY LEWISSpecial to The Post and Courier

P laywright Neil LaButeis not afraid of con-troversy. He is well-

known for his direct attackson difficult issues — mi-sogyny, rape, emotionalabuse, adultery — and thecruelty people show towardeach other.

In “Fat Pig,” running at theFootlight Players Theatrethrough March 5, LaBute’ssignature dark humor tack-les two recurring themes:society’s obsession withphysical appearance andrelationships between menand women. The cynicalplaywright has keen insightinto people’s motivations,and in “Fat Pig” he portraysthe worst in human nature.

A master wordsmith, LaB-ute avoids cliches. His char-acters are three-dimension-al, not stereotypes, and theFootlight cast fleshes them

out. LaBute writes realisticcharacters who use offen-sive language, so Footlight’sproduction is Rated R foradult language and maturesituations.

Director Robbie Thomascast four strong actors forthis production. ChristianSelf plays Tom, an intelli-gent, attractive, and likableman. Sarah Coe plays Helen,an intelligent, attractive,and likable woman whooutweighs Tom by a hun-dred pounds. They meet ata crowded lunch spot andquickly hit it off. Their wittybanter becomes flirtatious,and they agree to get togeth-er again. Tom is attractedto Helen’s boldness andsense of humor, especiallyabout her weight. Helen isattracted to Tom’s politebashfulness.

The foil to Tom’s charac-ter is Carter, his co-workerand pseudo-friend. NoahSmith’s Carter is good-look-

ing, funny and a superficial,manipulative jerk. Smithcharmingly incorporates

physical humor and al-most makes Carter likable,but LaBute reminds us of

Carter’s true nature. Jean-nie, their co-worker andTom’s pseudo-ex-girlfriend,is a stark contrast to Helen.Played by Sierra Garland,Jeannie is slim, smart andserves as an example of howvindictive people can be.

Ashley Blair dresses hercharacters stylishly as youngprofessionals. For most ofthe play, Coe’s costumes aretoo flattering. She appearstoo small to fit the vitrioliclanguage that Carter andJeannie use to describe her.Not until the beach scenedoes Helen’s costume revealher size. Being that the playis about a fat woman, thecostumes should make theactress look fat.

LaBute’s edgy, modernstyle is matched by Thomas’sound design. During eachscene change, Tom changesclothes in a spotlight, whileMika or the Dave MatthewsBand continues the momen-tum. The lighting design is

simple, keeping the focus onthe action.

Aly K. Howard’s simple setdesign works well with theplay’s action: a tall cafe tablefor lunch or a bed for pillowtalk. Each scene is set on arolling platform for smoothscene changes. The restau-rant scene lacks definition,though. It appears to be aprivate dining room, butthrough dialogue, the audi-ence learns that Tom andHelen are dining at a res-taurant. The complex beachscene is well-executed withrealistic dunes and sea oats.

Footlight’s “Fat Pig” is anintriguing analysis of men’sand women’s different per-spectives on modern dating.Relationships are difficultenough without obsessingover physical appearanceand the opinion of the restof the world. LaBute blamestelevision and magazines.The blame lies much closerto home: in the mirror.

Footlight’s “Fat Pig” will be performed throughSaturday at Footlight Players Theatre, 20 Queen St.Tickets are $10-$15. Visit www.footlightplayers.net formore information.

J azz is a cultural prod-uct of the New World.It was born in North

America, the result of an in-tuitively syncretic process.

That description seemsconvoluted, I know, andover-the-top academic aswell. But it’s not hard to un-derstand.

Syncretism is a philosophi-cal term that means thecombining, or amalgama-tion, of apparently oppositesets of beliefs or practices.That melding results in anew form that establishesand reveals a unity amongthe elements being com-bined.

With regard to arts andculture, eclecticism wouldbe a decent synonym.

In the case of jazz music,enslaved Africans mergedmusical practices from theirhome continent with thoseof another continent, Eu-rope.

The epicenter of that evo-lution was the SoutheasternUnited States.

The same kind of thinghappened in the Northeast-ern states, or estados, inBrazil.

The disparate musicalpractices there were thoseemanating from SouthAmerican natives, enslavedAfricans and Europeans.

Again, very similar to jazzin origin.

One of those Northeasternestados is Pernambuco. It’scapital city is Recife, a portcity where the Beberibe andCapibaribe rivers flow intothe Atlantic Ocean.

Born there was singer/songwriter Duda Lucena,who now lives and works inthe Charleston area, wherethe Ashley and Cooper riv-ers flow into the AtlanticOcean.

While there is not a largeworld music scene here,Lucena has established hisart and craft, not entirelybut in large part, on the jazzscene.

He is an authentic Brazil-ian player, falling mostlyinto the category of MusicaPopular Brasileira, Brazilianpopular music, a style thatemerged after bossa novaand one that included othermodern influences, such asjazz.

It brings forward classicBrazilian urban forms suchas samba, maracatu andbaiao.

Lucena’s music embod-ies all that is Brazilian. It’ssmooth, has an ethereal liltand it swings.

His phrasing takes fulladvantage of the beautyand intricate articulation ofPortuguese, a language thatseems to have been made forsinging.

He renders his originalmaterial and Brazilianstandards in an endearing,heartfelt way that makesthe listener part of what he’sdoing.

An excellent example ishis new recording, “DudaLucena Quartet,” a seven-track disc that features hisoriginal, “Sol,” and songsby Brazilian masters JoaoDonato, Gilberto Gil, Dja-van, Caetano Veloso and thelegendary Antonio CarlosJobim.

Joining guitarist and vo-calist Lucena in the quartetare three of the best jazzplayers in town: KevinHamilton on acoustic bass,Quentin Baxter on drumkit and Gerald Gregory onpianoforte.

Quentin engineered the

CD. Local artist and musi-cian Roberto Soviero did thepainting for the cover art.

The recording is availableat amazon.com, DigStation.com, iTunes and CDBaby.com.

Lucena’s web site is www.dudalucena.com.

This ensemble can beheard 7-11 p.m. Wednesdaysat the Charleston Grill atCharleston Place Hotel. Ithas established itself as oneof the anchors of the venue’sweekly live entertainmentcycle.

Lucena is scheduled to per-form solo at Blu Restaurant& Bar, 1 Center St. FollyBeach, 9 p.m.-midnightFriday.

He’s also slated to be partof jazz guitarist Tyler Ross’Jazz Guitar Ensemble con-cert 8-9 p.m. April 2 at theCollege of Charleston Si-

mons Center for the Arts.The quartet has evolved

over several years now andit’s running on all cylinders.The record is great but Lu-cena and the band are evenbetter live.

In various configura-tions, Lucena has workedGennaro’s, the Pour House,Charleston Music Hall, Pic-colo Spoleto Festival at Mis-tral, the Diana WorthamTheatre (Asheville, N.C.),Pawley’s Island Festival,Footlight Players Theatre,Big Sur Spirit Garden (BigSur, Calif.), Sala Baden Pow-ell theater with the Outros-sim Musical Movement (Riode Janeiro, Brazil), Los Ca-bos Jazz Festival (Los Cabos,Mexico) and the CenpesTheatre of the PetrobrasCompany (Rio de Janeiro,Brazil).

For those who have been

watching and listening tothe band from it’s begin-ning several years ago, asymbiosis is emerging. Andwith this live record, it’s ap-proaching full flower.

Since playing together,Lucena, a classically trainedguitarist, has become morejazzy. Hamilton, Baxter andGregory are more Brazilian.

There’s a confluence.It’s vibrant and getting bet-

ter all the time in terms ofits sound and its ability totransport the listener to thatplace good art takes you.

Lucena is very personableand it comes through in hismusic.

Like his music, he’s easygo-ing and soft-spoken. He’squick to smile and verycharming.

I wrote of him a few yearsago:

“Duda Lucena is a creative

person fueled by an energythat is natural. The forcefield he creates is formed bytendencies that are organicand humane. There is a lotgoing on in his mind, heartand soul, but the purity ofhis efforts create an aurathat can only come from areal artist: one that is pur-poseful, focused and mov-ing toward the light.”

Not too long after meetingand hearing him, I knew hehad it. Whatever that “it” isthat denotes the consum-mate artist, one who comesat you from his own spacebut is a fellow traveler at thesame time.

A t the beginning of theyear when I was work-ing on a calendar of

running and fitness eventsfor 2011, the new one that in-terested me the most was theMullet Haul trail runs, whichwill be held Saturday atCharleston County Park andRecreation Commission’s

Mullet Hall on Johns Island.Unless you are a horse

person, you may not be veryfamiliar with Mullet Hall.It’s an equestrian center on738 acres that has served pri-marily as a location for horseshows and the PRC’s HarvestFest in the past decade.

Mullet Hall also has about

20-plus miles of trails thatwind through a classic SeaIsland landscape of moss-draped oaks, towering pines,farm fields and open mead-ows, which are ideal for across country run.

Last fall, PRC special eventsguys Matt Rosebrock andOliver Sendall were brain-storming ideas following thesuccess of the Folly BeachChallenge, an adventure tri-athlon, and came up with theidea of trail runs of 10 milesand five miles at Mullet Hall.

“We wanted to continueoffering people somethingdifferent to do and we didn’twant to do a 5K,” says Rose-brock. “Mullet Hall is reallybeautiful, and we felt that itwas still somewhat of an un-tapped resource.”

Because it’s primarily anequestrian center and notopen for running and biking,only those on horseback haveused trails. Those trails, bythe way, were recognized in1995 by Secretary of the In-terior Gale A. Norton with aNational Trails Designation.The honor is given to exist-ing trails to promote com-munity partnerships and tofoster innovative ways to “en-courage physical fitness.”

Rosebrock adds that MulletHaul will be “one of the firstopportunities for people toscope it out.”

Personally, I have not seenthe trails at Mullet Hall,but I’ve seen photographsand trust Rosebrock. Andfor those wondering aboutdodging droppings along thetrail Saturday, Sendall as-sured me the land mines arefew and far between.

The event starts at 10 a.m.Saturday (see box for details).

Finally, trail optionsGo almost anywhere in the

United States with a runningscene like Charleston’s andthere are options for trail

running, but only within thelast year or so has an off-roadmovement of sorts startedhere.

The big plus came inSeptember with the Fran-cis Marion Dirt Dash, ahalf-marathon and 5K ondirt roads in the FrancisMarion National Forest nearAwendaw.

The second annual eventwill be Sept. 10.

The organizer, Chad Haffa,was so buoyed by the interestin Dirt Dash that he decidedto put on a new trail run, theEagle Endurance Almost-9-Miler trail run April 9 at theFrancis Marion’s Buck HallRecreation Area near Mc-Clellanville.

And out on Capers Island,Barrier Island EcoThonDirector Brett Carlsen or-ganized the Caper’s IslandEcoRun trail runs last sum-mer and will likely organize

something this year.Haven’t heard from Carlsen

yet, but hey, trail guys,they’re laid back.

That and more are in theworks. Get the latest onwww.postandcourier.com/blogs/running_blog/.

Underrated TV shows you should be watching

Y ou hear about howpopular “30 Rock,”“Mad Men” and

“Modern Family” are allthe time. But there are a fewshows out there that aren’t aswell publicized or followed,except for devoted fans.

“The IT Crowd” has beenone of my favorite shows forthe past couple of years. Toquote “I Love You, Man,” it’s“just delightful.” The firstfour seasons of the show are

on DVD (some seasons arewatch instantly on Netflix),and the show airs on IFC.

The show follows Roy, Mossand Jen, all members of akooky company’s tech team,whose automatic responseto any computer question is,“Have you tried turning it offand on again?”

But Jen knows nothingabout computers, even list-ing in her job interview thatusing a mouse is part of hercomputer experience.

The British show is quirky,silly and an easy pick-me-up. With just six 25-minuteepisodes, you can watch thewhole season in about thetime it takes to watch one“Harry Potter” movie.

At first I thought “Portland-ia,” a show that just wrappedup its first season, was just a

viral video. A friend sent methe video “Dream of the 90s,”(YouTube it), which spoofsPortland, Ore.’s residents.

But, it turns out that “Port-landia” is actually a dry hu-mor spoof show, also airingon IFC. I don’t get that chan-nel, so I’ve been watching oniTunes, and cracking up. Anearly episode of the show fol-lows two characters from arestaurant to a farm so theycan get to know the animalsthey are going to eat at lunch.

The show stars SNL’s FredArmisen and singer CarrieBrownstein and has a fewguest stars, including SelmaBlair, Steve Buscemi andsinger Aimee Mann.

In Mann’s episode, shetakes a job as Armisen andBrownstein’s cleaning ladybecause the music industry is

struggling.“Portlandia” just got picked

up for another season, sohere’s to hoping it’s still sillyand goofy.

After a bit of convincing,I started watching NBC’s“Parks and Recreation.”

I’ve never been fond of AmyPoehler, and it seemed like anot-funny knock-off of “TheOffice,” so I wasn’t optimis-tic. The first season isn’t mag-ic, but the second and thirdseasons make up for the firstseason’s growing pains.

And Poehler’s character,Leslie Knope, grows on you.She’s just a super wannabedo-gooder, who really wantsto work in government, butdoesn’t have the best luck.And she’s surrounded by abunch of sarcastic slackers.

Even though AMC drama

“Breaking Bad” has beengetting some good attention,including a 2010 best actorEmmy for Bryan Cranston,it’s still pretty underrated.

In the show, high schoolchemistry teacher Walter(Cranston) finds out he hasterminal cancer and decidesto manufacture drugs so hecan provide for his family

after he dies.Unlike “Dexter” and

“Weeds,” where charactersare fairly successful at pullingoff illegal activities, disasterconsistently strikes for Walter.

The show is somewhat hardto get into because it’s bestappreciated if you watch thewhole season at once. But it’sworth it.

The skinny on the latest trend in jeans

I n the immortal words ofBob Dylan, “The times,they are a’changin’.”

It’s doubtful he was talk-ing about denim when hewrote those lyrics, but whenit comes to the end of theSkinny Jean Era, he couldn’tbe more right.

For the past several years,skinny jeans (along with theeven skinnier cigarette jeanand the so-skinny-it’s-ridicu-lous jeggings) have held swayas the cool jean you couldn’tlive without.

Never mind that they wereso tight, you almost couldn’tbreathe in them or fish even astick of gum out of one of thepockets.

So perhaps it was inevitablethat a new denim silhouettewould appear. And sincefashion loves to borrow fromthe past, this silhouette isstraight out of the Disco era.It’s high-waisted, wide-leg,floor grazing with some seri-ous flares.

After years of wearing pantswhere the zipper starts wellsouth of the navel, the “high-waisted” aspect of thesenew jeans might be kind ofintimidating, but if worn thecorrect way, this is a look thatcan actually make someonelook taller and thinner.

Stephanie Solomon atBloomingdale’s says the key isto try on several pairs of jeansand knowing how to style

them correctly.“The biggest mistake would

be to not tuck (a shirt) inbecause that way you’re los-ing that silhouette. Once thewaist is defined, it elongatesthe leg.”

She suggests a peasantblouse or tank top as two op-tions that work well.

The right footwear is alsocritical.

“The flare needs to bedraped over the top of theshoe, that’s important. Itcould be a platform, it couldbe a flat, but never a pointedtoe stiletto. It’s the wrong bal-ance,” Solomon says.

Usually I try to avoid“Keeping Up With the Kar-dashians,” but I saw a recentphoto of Kourtney where shegot this new high-waisted,flared jean look so right. Shewas wearing the 7 For AllMankind Georgia flares I’m

currently loving and pairedthem with a pink blouseshe’d tucked in and a thinbelt to help define the waist.

Jessica Alba wore hers witha tank top, skinny belt andwedges while Audrina Pat-ridge chose a tucked-in long-sleeved tee, belt and plat-forms. All three demonstratea long fluid silhouette thatlooks really fresh this spring.

The other high end jean Ireally like is J. Brand, whichhas done several versions ofthe flared jean. For budgetconscious types like myself,the Gap has some good op-tions already in stores.

Remember, though, fit andproportion are important.Once you find the right pair,however, you’ll be able torock these jeans right intoFall because this wide-legtrend looks like it’s stayingput for a while. DREAMSTIME.COM

Charleston Style concierge helps you master your closetBY DENISE K. JAMESSpecial to The Post and Courier

W e’ve all been there:facing the tangleof clothing in our

closets and trying to figureout what to wear for work,a cocktail hour, a Saturdaystroll. It can seem so dismalthat we whine, “I have noth-ing to wear!” even thoughwe know the problem is nota lack of resources.

Lee Heyward grew up inCharleston, witnessing howwomen of all ages some-times need “coaching” toput their best style foot for-ward, so she started a busi-ness, the Charleston StyleConcierge.

“I am a style coach, not astylist,” explains Heyward.“The difference is, I don’tjust dress you — I help you

understand what to wear.”Heyward’s own back-

ground is in merchandisingand sales. After working foran equestrian apparel com-pany, she found that her truepassion was helping womenfeel confident in what theywear.

“I’ve enjoyed doing this forthree years now,” she says.“I provide personal shop-ping for people, I ‘edit’ theirclosets for them, I help themget rid of what they don’t

need and properly use whatthey have. For example,most women ‘categorize’their clothing into thingslike work clothes and playclothes — I can teach you toget more out of your ward-robe by avoiding that.”

One of the ways thatCharleston Style Conciergeeducates about style isthrough “Fashion Femi-nars” at the Mary MojoBoutique in Mount Pleasant,meant as a sort of workshop

for helping women achievestyle confidence.

“Kathryn Poe of MaryMojo really appreciated theconcept when we starteddoing the Feminars,” saysHeyward. “Our businessesand our clients really seemto mesh, and it’s been a greatpartnership so far.”

The first Feminar for 2011is on Wednesday at MaryMojo, and the title is “Make

Your Wardrobe Bloom.”“This is the most interac-

tive session we’ve ever done,”says Heyward. “For the firsttime at a Feminar, we areinviting each participant tobring a few items from herown wardrobe — maybethat item that she findstricky to wear and could usesome pointers for.”

The March, the Feminarwill focus, naturally, on new

spring trends and how tomake them work for eachgal’s personal style and ward-robe. It costs $20 to attend,but the best part is that youcan bring a friend for free.

“The goal is to help youmake your own ‘real world’fashion out of the newtrends,” explains Heward.

Other Feminars comingup this year include a Mayworkshop, “What to Wear toa Wedding.” In September,a fall fashion event will takeplace, and in December,mark your calendar for anaccessories-focused session.Register at fashionfeminar.com.

“It’s my job to be honestwith you about the state ofyour personal style,” saysHeyward. “I can help withthings that a good friendjust can’t tackle.”

Diana Rossto headlineconcert clublaunch

BY JACK MCCRAYSpecial to the Post and Courier

A new, upscale livemusic alternativewill splash onto the

Lowcountry entertain-ment scene Monday whenMotown legend Diana Rossrolls into town, poised tokick off the Charleston ver-sion of a popular party clubbased in Charlotte, MusicWith Friends.

MWF is a membershiporganization, says founderLarry Farber, that aims toprovide up-close-and-per-sonal, high quality musicin small, classy venues for a

limited number of people.The Charlotte site is the Mc-Glohon Theater.

Farber and his folks have en-gaged the venerable 420-seat,newly renovated Dock StreetTheatre as the site here.

Ross, who also has actedand was former lead singerfor The Supremes, is plan-ning to perform tunes fromher vast repertoire of hitsongs, complete with a 13-piece orchestra with horns,rhythm section and percus-sion.

MWF puts on three showsa year. Membership inMWF, open year-round, en-tails two things.

First, you pay a one-timefee at $500 per seat. “Youown the seat for the life ofyour membership,” saidBecky Mitchener, develop-ment director, who is basedin Charlotte but spends timein Charleston these dayssetting up the club here. Sec-ond, you pay a membershipfee of $1,500 per person peryear.

The membership fee isbased on the calendar yearand is pro rated, depend-ing on when you join. Forinstance, someone joiningafter the Ross show will pay$1,000 for the remainingtwo shows. Additional seats

can be purchased on a show-by-show basis.

As happened at a Jan. 25pick-your-seat reception,MWF staff meet with andguide patrons through thetheater to select their seats.MWF (www.musicwith-friends.com) membershipsare available at (704) 247-3266 or [email protected]. The club’s rep-resentative in Charleston isChris Allen, (843) 697-8031or [email protected].

“We poll our members forchoosing artists,” Mitchenersaid. “We send out about 15names, they vote on theirtop five, and that’s who we

pursue.”Past performers include

Steely Dan, Crosby, Stills andNash, Gladys Knight, TonyBennett, George Benson/AlJarreau, Sheryl Crowe andSmokey Robinson.

Farber said an hour anda half before the concert,the club hosts an elaboratecocktail party with foodand members get to minglewith VIPs. “It’s been a hugeselling point,” he said. “Thishas become the network-ing event and social eventin Charlotte.” Concerts lastabout 90 minutes. Compli-mentary parking passes fora lot nearby will be sent to

members.Local businessman Can-

tey Hare has been a MWFmember since its inceptionin 2007.

He led a group that beganexploring Charleston in2008. “It was a concept thatwas appealing after Larryhad gotten in touch witha bunch of us about it,” hesaid then. “We were tiredof concerts at huge venueswith screaming kids, park-ing problems or somebodystanding up and dancing infront of you.”

Mitchener said last weekthat seats were still availablefor the Ross show.

Diana Ross will fronta big band Monday

at the Dock StreetTheatre. Tickets are

$2,000: $500 fora seat and $1,500

for a membershipto Music With

Friends. Visit www.musicwithfriends.com, call 704-247-

Sundays inLet us entertain you.

BY MATTHEW GODBEYSpecial to The Post and Courier

G. Love andSpecial SauceTonight at The MusicFarm

After 19 years and 12 al-bums, G. Love and SpecialSauce is still one of the mostpopular bands on the alter-native music circuit withoutthe backing of a major labelor tons of radio play.

Front man Garrett Duttonhas kept the same mentalityto his music as he did whenhe first started as a Philadel-phia street musician in highschool: fun.

“Sometimes, it can be agrind out here, but, hey,you’re livin’ a dream,” Dut-ton said when I talked withhim a few years ago aboutwhat keeps him motivated.“This is what you dreamedabout when you were inhigh school, and you’re oneof the lucky people that isactually out there making agood living doing it and get-ting to make music that youlove to make.”

It’s that kind of humilityand gratitude that has madeDutton and his band one ofthe most inspirational musi-cian stories around whilealso being one of the mostentertaining live perfor-mances you’re likely to seethis year in Charleston.

The band’s newest album,“Fixin’ to Die,” was releasedearlier this year to glowingreviews from critics andfans alike. The band recent-ly performed the album’stitle track on “Conan” tokick off the first leg of itsspring tour.

G. Love and Special Saucewill perform tonight at theMusic Farm, 32 Ann St.,with The Apache Relay.Tickets are $20 in advanceand $25 the day of the showand are available at the dooror online at www.etix.com.Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Call 577-6989 or visitwww.musicfarm.com.

Jeff CoffinMu’tetSaturday at The PourHouse

Three-time GrammyAward winning saxophonistand songwriter Jeff Coffinresists the confines of labelsand categories for his musicand playing style. He refersto himself solely as a “mu-sician” and to his musicalstyle simply as “music.”

Of course, jazz is the gen-eral category associatedwith Coffin’s solo work, butwithin the classification ofjazz there is so much morethat can be understood onlywhen its heard. But, as theexpression implies, it’s closeenough for jazz.

Coffin has been the long-time saxophonist for BelaFleck and The Flecktones,appearing on every record-ing by the band, and hasbeen the saxophonist for theDave Matthews Band sincethe death of LeRoi Moore in2008.

Even with full-time posi-tions in two popular bands,Coffin still manages to re-cord and perform with hisside project, Mu’tet.

While members of Mu’tetoften rotate, the lineup forthe group’s performanceSaturday at The Pour House,1977 Maybank Highway,will be of super-group pro-portions. The show willfeature Jeff Sipe (Phil Leshand Friends, Susan Tedes-chi Band) on drums, KofiBurbridge (Susan Tedeschi/

Derek Trucks Band) on fluteand keys, Felix Pastorious(son of legendary bassistJaco Pastorious) on bass andBill Fanning on trumpet.

Tickets are $10 and areavailable at the door or on-line at www.etix.com. Doorsopen at 9 p.m., and the showstarts at 10 p.m. with theband performing two sets.Call 571-4343 or visit www.charlestonpourhouse.com.

Ryan Bailey &CumberlandBelleTuesday at the Wind-jammer

Local singer/songwriterRyan Bailey managed tocreate a buzz for himselfby catching the alt-countrywave a few years ago.

Since then, Bailey’s softertake on the collaboration ofrock and country has flunghim from the sidelines ofthe overpopulated Ameri-can alt-country scene to themain stage in the Dutchworld. Songs from his 2010debut, “Down to the Wire,”have been steadily gainingin radio play in the Nether-lands, of all places.

Bailey will help kick offthe BB&T Charleston Wine+ Food Festival with a soloperformance 6-9 p.m. to-night at Billy Reid, 150 KingSt. Bailey will perform withhis band, Cumberland Belle,and Hundred Hands Downon Friday at The Windjam-mer, 1008 Ocean Blvd. Tick-ets are $5 at the door.

Shem Creek concert benefits local familyBY SAMANTHA TESTSpecial to The Post and Courier

S unday at the Light-house on the Creek,the Charleston com-

munity will rally together tohelp the family of “a gentle-man, hard worker, dedicatedfamily man, compassionateteacher, tough coach and anhonorable friend.”

Those words come fromfriend and event organizerTrey Sedalik in honor of thelate Marshall Hoge.

Hoge, 36, passed away Nov.4 of a sudden illness, leavingbehind a wife and children,Paisley and Cooper.

Proceeds from Sunday’safternoon on Shem Creekwill benefit the Paisley andCooper Hoge Fund, set upfor their education. Theevent includes oysters, bar-becue, hot dogs, homemadechili, beer, wine, soft drinks

and a jump castle.Local band Jasmine Attic

will provide live music.“We want everyone to

enjoy themselves. Thisbenefit is a great opportu-nity to celebrate the life ofan exceptional man,” saidSedalik.

“It’s humbling. Marshallwas healthy and strong. Healways had enough energyand time to give to oth-ers. I’ve learned a lot fromMarshall’s polite manor,resolve and positive spirit. Idon’t think a work day wentby that we didn’t share ajoke. Marshall will always bemissed.”

Friends’ description ofHoge’s heart includes thefact that one of his childrenwas adopted from his sister,who died in an accident.

His passing has inspiredothers, including the band,to adopt the family during

this difficult time.“Jasmine Attic is a great

band with a big heart. Theirsound is perfect for a relaxedspring afternoon on thecreek with good friends,”said Sedalik.

Vocalist Jen Snyder de-scribes the group’s soundas a “funky, groovy, rocksound, heavy on acousticand electric guitars and har-monies.”

“Aside from our originals,we play a pretty wide rangeof rock and funk covers

from the ’60s on up,” shesaid.

She is joined by bandmembers Robert Thorn(drums and original UncleMingo drummer); JamieCrisp (bass, vocals andoriginal Big Stoner Creekbassist); Brett Lanza (guitar,vocals) and Trey Edwards(guitar, vocals).

“Almost all of us have kids,and it’s a heart-wrenchingstory,” said Snyder. “This isone of the greatest benefitsof being a musician; we can

donate our time to a cause,and all we have to do is showup and do what we love.”

She hopes those spend-ing the afternoon with thecommunity walk away with“peace and love.”

“And the simple gratifica-tion of helping someone inneed,” Snyder said. “Theway we choose to spendour money speaks volumes.Whether we are consciousof that or not, it’s true.”

Community of local artists run Tivoli StudiosBY ELIZABETH BOWERSSpecial to The Post andCourier

T ivoli is a new kind ofart gallery in Charles-ton.

The art facility was starteda year ago by Nic Roberts.It’s a warehouse with ex-posed wooden ceilings, tilesmade of broken glass, mam-moth sunflowers and 10 orso studio spaces for localartists.

With recent open houses,Tivoli, located next to theCharleston Center for Pho-tography on Upper King,has gained momentum andexposure.

The ultimate goal of thespace is to be a place whereartists can both create andshow their art.

According to Roberts, thepoint of this is to cut out themiddle man, make the pro-cess “from palette to pay-ment” faster.

Last Saturday, Tivoli held ayard sale. They were sellingtheir art, of course, but alsoa Tony the Tiger cut-out,flashing caution lights, apopcorn popper and full-fledged streetlights for $45.

Side note: Those street-lights are much larger upclose than one would expect,and worth visiting the gal-lery just to see for yourself.

“We’re very resourcefularound here,” says Tivoliartist Mason Greenewald.

And he is. His studio isfilled with works on paper,canvases, and the most in-teresting is on what lookslike an old headboard. It’spainted in bold colors anddesigns on both sides, andhe wants to come up witha way to cut out circles andmake them spin like a globe.

Greenewald joined Tivolilast fall. In his art, MonaLisa and a figure called “BatChrist” seem to be recurringthemes.

During the yard sale,Greenewald was workingon making a grid for “Don’tWalk” signs. “I’m goingto make a sign that says‘Dance’ out of these signs.”

Like he said, “resourceful,”and pretty creative.

Greenewald works as agraphic designer for Fuzzco.

Andrew Smock, fellowTivoli artist and graphic de-signer at Hook, likes sharingspace with someone in hisprofessional field.

“I like that everyone herehas a job,” he says, “I thinkit helps with creative think-ing.”

A lot of Smock’s work isdone in pointillism, a pro-cess in which dots of vary-ing colors are applied in apattern to create an image.

My favorite is half-pointil-lism, half-devil and asks,

“Why is the devil alwayslooking down?” The answer,of course, being, “Becausehe is sad.”

Smock has worked withcrayons recently, creatingimages of tanks and NativeAmericans, and he’s beenbuilding his own canvasesout of Tyvek. It’s the paperthat FedEx packages aremade of, and Smock likes itbecause it’s “functional andconstant.”

“I always like to have stuffready to work on, and some-times canvas can be toomuch.”

With a high turnover rate,artists are in and out oftheir studios.

Smock has been therefrom the beginning though.

“I got the studio beforeI got a place to live inCharleston,” he says. “I can’t

work at home. I wouldcriticize it too much. I feelsorry for people that don’thave studio space. Youdon’t get as much workdone. It’s good to placateyourself.”

Another fixture of Tivoliis Angela Caban, a NewYorker transplanted toCharleston because she saidthe bustle of the big city gotto be too much.

Caban started StudioCaban, her company thatspecializes in fine decora-tive painting and gildingand design. The award-win-ning design firm has officesin both New York city andCharleston.

Most recently, she paintedthe murals on the wall ofUpper King’s new tapasrestaurant, Barsa. The tra-ditional portraiture depicts

dancers on a large scale, andis a good example of Caban’sbaroque and dark style.

Other Tivoli artists includeLogan Marks and Zac Mal-lard.

As well as managing thespace, working in the gar-den and creating his ownart, manager Nic Robertsis putting together a com-munity outreach program.The nonprofit venture will“introduce underprivilegedkids to the idea and world ofworking as an artist.”

Roberts says he has many

big plans for bettering thespace and making it an idealopportunity for local artists.

Topping the list is climatecontrol, followed by a roomfor screenprinting, focusingon and making the originalgarden beautiful and find-ing more artists to join theTivoli community.

“I didn’t realize how muchwork this was going to be,”Roberts said, “But nowwe’re really starting to dothings.”

They hope to have anart opening soon, and arehosting the after-party forthe Big Mix, a streetwearclothing show and paneldiscussion at Eye Level Art,during Charleston FashionWeek.

Resourceful Roberts plansto make a centerpiece out ofcaution lights to hang fromthe rafters.

A space such as Tivoli candefinitely work in Charles-ton. Smock thinks that “percapita, the city really packsa punch. Per person, peoplewho understand and appre-ciate the arts, there’s morethan your average city.”

H allelujah! I just saw some brightgreen little buds on the tree inmy backyard! It’s one of my fa-

vorite things: the beginning of spring.Charlestonians love to celebrate any

chance we can get, so this weekend isgoing to be filled with beautiful things.

Of course, there will be the mas-sive gastronomic celebration withthe BB&T Charleston Wine + FoodFestival, but we don’t like to stop our“spring awakening” there.

Make sure you satisfy all of yoursenses and give your eyes something tolight up about as well.

After all, the French Quarter GalleryAssociation put some thought into thedecision to have the first art walk of theseason on the first Friday of March.

Unless otherwise noted, most of theart openings in the French Quarterwill be 5-8 p.m. Friday and are free andopen to the public.

What better way to celebrate the be-ginning of spring than with great art,food and wine?

Madame LambertArtist Hilarie Lambert visits Paris on

a regular basis because her daughterand son-in-law live there. And, well,the fact that she’s an artist and Paris is

just a tad inspirational also might havesomething to do with it.

Her latest trip to Paris was particular-ly special as she was able to be there forthe birth of her granddaughter, Stella.

“I rented a small apartment and setup my studio in it, and I would visitwith the family in the morning, andthen take long walks before going backto my apartment to paint,” she said.“Since I had limited access to Internetand the TV is in French, I painted quitea bit.”

Lambert was inspired by the freshlittle bundle in her life as well as the lifeof Paris in general.

Her new show, “Ooh La La,” featureseveryday Parisian scenes, street ven-dors, jazz musicians and tourists, inboth large- and small-format paint-ings.

See them at a preview event 6-8 p.m.tonight at her upstairs studio-gallery,55 Broad St. Visit www.hlambert.com.

‘Cinnamonworld’There are many facets to Kenton

James, and this is very clearly seen inhis latest collection of layered paintingscalled “Cinnamonworld,” showing atScoop studios, 57 Broad St., in March.

This collection is done in black-and-white oil paintings.

These are reminiscent of vintage se-pia-toned photos that were exposed,

one on top of another, in an old dark-room, where the end product is a mix-ture of emotions and images that seemunrelated but really are relevant to oneanother. It’s an interesting world.

Gallery owner Colleen Deihl says“the chaos and the surge of modernAmerican life are captured in layeredimages. Using multiple exposure com-position, each piece literally blendsdifferent narratives of people frommundane to alluring moments.”

Call 577-3292 or visit www.scoopcon-temporary.com.

Paula RubinoThe majority of the painters featured

at Ann Long Fine Art, 54 Broad St.,have studied at the Florence Academyof Art in Italy.

American painter Paula Rubino wasclassically trained at this school, whichteaches students the techniques of the

Old Masters.She also has studied with famed Nor-

wegian painter Odd Nerdrum, whichhas influenced her work in a veryunique direction.

Born in Trenton, N.J., in 1968 andraised in Florida, Rubino has sincelived and worked in Mexico, Italy andFinland. Her most recent body of workincludes paintings developed in Fin-land and Florida.

She will have her third solo show atAnn Long Fine Art on Friday. It’s oneworth checking out.

Call 577-0447 or visit www.annlong-fineart.com.

‘A Riff on Nests’“A Riff on Nests” is Joe Walters’ first

show in Charleston in many years.His newest collection of sculpture

and works on paper will be on displayat the Corrigan Gallery in March.

“Walters’ works come from his ob-servation of the natural world. Hemanipulates ‘unorthodox materials’ tocreate his interpretation of objects andto ‘freeze them in an instant,’ said gal-lery owner Lese Corrigan.

“Using poly-mer clay, steel,glue, sand,paint and wire,the crusty sur-faces of Wal-ters’ sculpturesmimic metalcorroded withage arrested ata point of inter-est,” Corrigansaid.

Many of hisworks are in-spired by, and

speak to, human beings’ interactionwith nature. Even his works on papermimic the rust colored look of hissculptures.

Call 722-9868 or visit www.corrigan-gallery.com.

Crosby landscapesIn his new “Landscape Strokes and

Gestures” exhibit showing at the Mar-tin Gallery, William Crosby said hestarts the canvas with a horizon line,and broad, quick strokes and gesturesthat are often applied on a very fluidcanvas.

“Slowly, and at other times rapidly,the composition is gone into, devel-oped, changed or eliminated,” he said.“Many layers are created from washesand semi-transparent areas to layers ofdense and opaque paint. I use both art-ist brushes and larger house paintingbrushes,” he said.

Carolina’s RestaurantBY DEIDRE SCHIPANISpecial to The Post and Courier

C arolina’s Restaurant,a Southern Bistro,is accurately located

on Exchange Street. In 2010ownership was exchangedbetween Richard Stoney ofCrew Carolina and JosephMeloy.

Previously, Meloy ownedRestaurant Concepts Inc.in South Florida, which in-cluded Cagney’s Crabhousein Deerfield Beach and Fer-guson’s Gator Bar & Grill andSalute in Fort Lauderdale.

Until 2008, RestaurantConcepts, Inc. owned andoperated three restaurantsand catering operations inthe Embassy Suites Hotelsin South Florida. These in-cluded Cagney’s Ocean Bis-tro, Salute Trattoria Italianaand Ferguson’s Gator Barand Grill. Meloy was also thefounder of Royal Oak Restau-rants, Inc.

It is clear that the hospital-ity industry runs in his bloodand his experiences over thelast 40 plus years is substan-tial. Family connections anda love for the area broughthim to Charleston.

He kept executive chefJeremiah Bacon on board,but in the fall of 2010, Bacongot an “exchange” of hisown kind: the opportunityfor both culinary leadershipand partnership with StevePalmer and the Indigo RoadRestaurant Group at OakSteakhouse.

With the departure of Ba-con, the position of executivechef was offered to Carolina’ssous chef Jill Mathias. She ac-cepted.

This Fargo-Moorhead,North Dakota nativeschooled in art history foundher passion for the canvas ofcookery and channeled her

interests to compositions onthe plate. She studied at John-son and Wales (Charleston);traveled to Puerto Rico, Se-attle and Martha’s Vineyard;and ultimately was seducedby the Lowcountry and theHoly City. She had worked atHigh Cotton and then joinedexecutive chef Bacon at Car-olina’s, exchanging East Bayfor South of Broad.

Having lived in the landof the Smashburger, SpaceAliens Bar and Grill andDakota Soda, Mathias haskept her menu free of lutefisk,Tater Tots, and walleye. Likeher predecessor, she valuesand respects the relationshipswith her local purveyors andworks with them to forge hermenu, its seasonal specialsand re-imagined entrees.

Perdita’s fruit de mer ($34)

remains as does the influenceof “Mama” Rose Durden’sshrimp crabmeat wontons($13). Mathias’ supply chainlinks the labors of Kuriosand Kennerty farms to herpantry. Mepkin Abbey pro-vides her mushrooms; AnsonMills, her grains; ClammerDave, the beautiful CapersIsland clams. Look for Far-rah’s goat cheeses and MeyerRanch beef. If it’s chicken,it pecked its last meal atKeegan-Filion farm.

She has articulated theHoly City’s roots in her useof sambal, preserved lemon,gastriques, lardons and tuile.She is comfortable with sof-fritto and confit; Romescoand beurre blanc; andouilleand chorizo.

The pastas are made in-house and daily specials al-

low for innovation and explo-ration of ingredients.

Her local beet salad ($14) isa keeper. Composed of mildBibb lettuce accented withnutty arugula, roasted goldenand red beets, dressed withcandied garlic vinaigrette,red onion jimmies and baconmore bits than lardon, theMidas touch is a poachedegg crumbed with Parmesancheese and “fried” to crispthese fragments and crustthe egg. The liquid gold ofthe yolk emulsifies the flavornotes into a salad symphony.

The mushroom soup ($8)celebrates the earthy harvestof Mepkin Abbey’s “forag-ing” into funghi. I requestedno truffle oil as this “condi-ment” of excess can some-times have an off-flavor.

The appetizers intriguedwith their creative composi-tions and appointments:calamari ($12) with preservedlemon, sambal aioli and ci-lantro, mint and basil; squidwith a Moroccan and South-east Asian education; andlocal clams ($14) set sail withSpanish accents of fortifiedwine and chorizo.

Entrees are balanced in bothassortment of shellfish, fin-fish, pork, pasta and poultry.Mathias’s Meyer Ranch rib-eye steak ($35) is topped withan herbed marrow butter.

Short ribs ($28) were melt-ingly tender; the tomatogarnish an out-of-seasonafterthought: They wereserved with soubise thatneeded a bit more cooking tosurrender the melt-down ofthe onions into the grains ofrice. Soubise is traditionallyserved as a stuffing ingredi-ent but when thinned withcream or creme fraiche itbecomes a sauce. Lately, thiscombination of rice and on-ions appears on the plate as avegetable side.

The roasted chicken landsairplane style on the plateand an olive oil pomme pureewas graciously substituted forpolenta.

Seasonal side dishes ($5)and staples of grits, fries andmashed potatoes permit thecreation of a varied vegetableplatter.

The bread basket had nocharm, so save your caloriesfor savory or sweet. Our

server delivered enthusiasmand efficiency and on a busyweekend evening, the kitchenmanaged to keep pace withthe appetites of tourists andresidents. The young supportstaff could benefit from a bitof hospitality coaching.

The Carolina Gold ricepudding ($8) remains on thedessert menu along with thepecan brittle basket ($9).

Miso has been added tothe creme brulee, a shot ofumami, to this now ubiq-uitous custard. We tried amousse ($9) of peanut but-ter and chocolate vanillaenrobed in chocolate on apuddle of vanilla sauce sprin-kled with chocolate powder.Think upscale Reese’s PeanutButtercup.

Given all the change-ups atCarolina’s, the dessert menucould better align with themenu. Maybe Mathias willimport those Door Countycherries for a tart taste ofsummer.

And in a Midwest frame ofmind and with all due respectto the Coen brothers, execu-tive chef Jill Mathias sure cancook, “yah, you betcha”!

Carrying on culture and cuisine, you betcha!

Chef Michelle Weaver’sTuna Sashimi like avacation on a plateBY ANGEL POWELLSpecial to The Post and Courier

T he “Cosmopoli-tan” section of chefMichelle Weaver’s

menu at Charleston Grillis described as “exotic andimaginative dishes inspiredby flavors found travelingthe globe.”

Her Tuna Sashimi Witha Greek Salad fits that de-scription perfectly.

Sashimi grade tuna, thebest you can buy, is flownin from Hawaii twice aweek. Weaver estimatesthat she serves 40-50pounds of tuna each weekat The Grill, three to fourounces at a time.

The dish has 17 ingre-dients that blend togetherperfectly. It is a beautiful

combination of beets, olives,basil, shallots, tomatoes,herbs and sheep’s milk fetathat works perfectly with thedelicate fish underneath.

The vegetables are freshand bright, the surface saltis perfect, and the tuna isamazing.

Though Weaver says “it’sa bit tough on the kitchenbecause there’s a tremen-dous amount of knife workthat goes into this dish,” itis wildly popular with thecustomers and one of the

dishes that she could nottake off of the menu.

She estimates that she willsell 40 of these small plateson an average weekendnight, at $16 per plate.

Though $16 might seema bit expensive for an ap-petizer, the dish is quitesubstantial because it doesnot skimp on the tuna.

It’s the perfect portion sizeand reaffirms CharlestonGrill as one of my favoriteplaces in Charleston for anappetizer and a cocktail.

T he Puka dog lives, nav-igating the waterwaysof the Pacific to settle

in North Charleston. TheseHawaiian-style hot dogs havelong been popular in our50th state, as our very ownHula Dogs aims to show.

The bar/restaurant has setup shop across from TridentTechnical College in a RiversAvenue building formerlyoccupied by Las Palmas Bil-liards and before then, thebiker-friendly roadhouse BigDeck Daddy’s.

Hula Dogs sets a different

tone: The building is paintedbright yellow and in pastels,as a pair of surfboards standsentry near the deck. Therestaurant contains a pair ofpool tables, foosball table, airhockey machine and a fewvideo games, along with alarge, enclosed rear patio.

Take your pick of hot dogs($3-$3.50): Nathan’s all-beef,black Angus, Polish and veg-gie. They are swaddled insideHawaiian sweet rolls, thendoused with your choice ofcondiments, relish or sauce.

The rolls are large bunswith holes poked throughthe center, rather than be-ing split down the middle

like typical buns. The rollbottoms are also closed, trap-ping inside the hot dogs andtoppings. Among the choic-es: mango, pineapple, papayaor spicy deli relishes.

Sides consist of items suchas macaroni salad, pineappleteriyaki steamed rice andHawaiian baked beans, alldotted with pineapple tidbits.

Hula Dogs also providesHawaiian shaved ice ($2.50-$5) in such flavors as coco-nut, pineapple, mango andcotton candy. And in caseyou were wondering, snowcones are made from crushedice, instead of the shavedice preferred by our tropi-

cal pals. Which makes for amore syrupy concoction.

Hula Dogs is a smart, origi-nal concept for our market-place, and one that could fly.Trouble is: service is spotty,slow and inconsistent, whilethe decor is scattershot anddisorderly.

A hot dog is a comfort food,and deserves to be eaten incomfort. That’s not to dis-courage anyone from visit-ing; support is warranted.But, cross our fingers, wehope these flaws are cor-rected before it’s too late.

Spotty service, eclectic hot dogs

Blind Tiger serves up agood, indulgent brunchBY ERICA MARCUSSpecial to The Post and Courier

L ast week, I wroteabout some of the bestbrunches in town to

kick off this new weekly fea-ture.

In response, some of youwrote in to share your fa-vorite brunch spots (whichis great, keep it up!). One ofthe places mentioned mul-tiple times was Blind Tiger.Because Charlestonians tendto know what they’re talkingabout on the brunch front, Imade my way over to BroadStreet for a little outdoor din-ing.

That’s the first rule of theBlind Tiger brunch: Youmust sit outside. The patiorivals any other in town withgenerous seating, clusters oftrees and a comfy swingingbench that made my close-toperfect Bloody Mary evenmore enjoyable. I was pleasedto see that they also offerbellinis, which are my favor-

ite mimosa alternative. Allthree are just $3 each.

For a sweet start, try theHomemade Cornbread WithPeach Butter. The creamybutter combines with a peachsyrup whose smooth texturenicely complements thecrumbly cornbread.

The menu had a nice va-riety of brunch and lunchoptions, including a veggiepanini, burgers, turkey cluband, unexpectedly, mussels.

My server recommendedthe Huevos Rancheros. Thedish of eggs with bistro steak,white bean salad and cilan-tro on a fried tortilla withfresh pico de gallo definitelycaught my attention, but Iwas in the mood to indulgemy sweet tooth instead.

I opted for the CinnamonFrench Toast with currantbutter and molasses syrup.

The thick, crispy Frenchbaguette made the meal, andthe flavored butter and syrupwere subtle, so the sweetnesswasn’t overwhelming.

I also tried the smotheredeggs, another customer fa-vorite. The fried eggs, smoth-ered with mornay sauce ontop of grilled ham and corn-bread were certainly yummy,but the accompanying friteswere nothing special.

OK, so there is no sec-ond rule of the Blind Tigerbrunch, but there doesn’tneed to be. As long as you’resitting outside and indulgingin something you’ve beencraving all week, whether it’sfried eggs, gooey syrup ora spicy Bloody Mary, you’llenjoy Blind Tiger.

BY ROGER MOOREThe Orlando Sentinel

T here are these guys,see? And they’redressed in slightly out-

of-date suits, gray mostly.And they wear hats, eachand every one of them, allthe time.

They dress like “Mad Men”and they’re led by a “MadMen” star (John Slattery).But they’re not in advertis-ing, circa 1962.

No, these guys run a vastbureaucracy that clocks inevery morning and decidesour fate.

Make a move that doesn’tfollow the predeterminedpath your life was sup-posed to follow, they set youstraight.

That’s what “The Adjust-ment Bureau” does, manip-ulate events so that your life,from start to finish, followstheir plan. And nobody seesthem, nobody knows they’redoing this.

Until David Norris. Hisrun for Congress just gotderailed and he’s just meta woman who changed hiswhole world view.

An impulsive guy, actingon impulse, David (MattDamon) stumbles into theknowledge of this “Bu-reau.” And as years passand effort is expended bythat apparatus — Are theyangels, micro-managingaliens? — David battlesthem for the chance to re-connect with Elise (EmilyBlunt), who set off sparkswith him on the worst dayof his life.

“The Adjustment Bureau,”written and directed byGeorge Nolfi, the writer ofDamon’s last “Bourne” and“Oceans Twelve,” has hintsof several supernatural ro-mances, especially “EternalSunshine of the SpotlessMind.”

Damon and Blunt havespectacular chemistry, andtheir flirtations have suchsnap that you’d swear Da-mon is blushing as Bluntbats her eyes at him.

This “Inception” meets“Made in Heaven” by wayof “They Live” is also thescrewiest movie Matt Da-mon has been in since, what,“Dogma?”

David carries around thistop-secret knowledge andschemes for that momentwhen he can go “off plan.”Slattery dons his hat andsets off in pursuit as Davidtries this trick and that toescape the manipulatingoverseers and find his wayto the slender, sexy dancerhe only knows by her firstname.

That tug we’re supposedto feel, the thing that pullsthem back together and

drags us along with them,rooting for them to con-nect — it’s just not strongenough to sustain what itessentially a cute thrillertreatment of the war be-tween free will and deter-minism, the notion that wedo or do not control ourown destiny.

It’s romantic and intel-lectually stimulating andlike “Inception,” it mayhave you arguing with yourdate on the ride home. Butit plays like a movie by athriller writer who is betterat chases than at romance.Which it is.

’80s nostalgia doesn’t workin ‘Take Me Home Tonight’BY ROGER MOOREThe Orlando Sentinel

‘T ake Me Home To-night” is a 10-years-too-late comedy. It’s

’80s nostalgia vamped up bypeople who were too youngto have lived through the ac-tual ’80s.

Topher Grace, now a well-preserved 32, is Matt, therecent M.I.T. grad workingfor Suncoast Video whilehe tries to decide what to dowith his life.

Anna Faris, now 34, isWendy, Matt’s twin sister,equally directionless, alsoworking at Suncoast.

And Dan Fogler, now 34,is Barry, Matt’s burly, boozyloose cannon pal. He skippedcollege and is regretting it.

Their story? Straight out ofthe ’90s — the “Can’t Hardly

Wait” tale of a guy-who-never-confessed-to-his-high-school-crush.

Through one wild, longnight Matt, Barry, Wendyand Tori experience multipleparties, freaky L.A. partysex, cocaine, grand theft autoand a great, deadly dare.

The parties director Mi-chael Dowse stages are re-treads of everything from

“Animal House” to name-any-other-’80s-or-’90s youthcomedy.

The lesson of these moviesare all the same: that you cango back, you can make surethat you don’t live the rest ofyour life bitter that you didn’t“go for it.” But you can’t goback, no matter how manyHollywood agents say, “Youcould still pass for 22, sure!”

DEAR ABBY: Everyyear I host a familygathering. Each year,

my cousin’s wife, “Jodie,”does everything possible toensure that we all know she’supset about something.

She’ll sit on my couch farremoved from the family,grumbling under her breathto her husband. Jodie neversays more than four wordsto me the entire time, noneof which are “thank you,”then she feigns food poison-ing! (No one else gets sick.)

This has been going onlonger than the six yearsI have hosted this event.Would it be tactless to askmy cousin to leave his wifehome next year? I am notthe only family memberwho is disgusted with Jodie’sbehavior. I think we’d allhave a better time if shewasn’t there. Would that be

wrong of me? — SICK OFCODDLING HER

DEAR SICK: For a per-son to repeatedly act theway you described is notnormal. Your cousin’s wifemay suffer from emotionalproblems. Is no one in yourfamily close enough to yourcousin to express concern?While it would be tactlessto tell him to leave his wifehome, it might be less soto mention gently that youhave noticed she doesn’tenjoy herself when she vis-its and that her attendanceisn’t compulsory. Then lis-ten to what he has to say.

DEAR ABBY

Upset wife ruins all gatherings

Warning. This week’s edition of Head2Head triviahas no theme. It’s ten somewhat random questionsthat really have not much in common.

Well, OK, half are science questions, but apartfrom that, there’s no common denominator.

Long-time trivia champ Eric Pastorelli is beingchallenged by student Brendan Smith.

President Eisenhower presents his first Stateof the Union Address before a joint sessionof Congress on Capitol Hill in Washingtonin this Feb. 2, 1953 file photo. Behind himare Vice President Richard Nixon (left) andHouse Speaker Joseph M. Martin.

ERIC’S ANSWERS1. It’s mercury.2. Pine trees have sap. I just don’t

know if that makes turpentine.3. Ten pounds.4. Caesar came, saw and conquered.5. Laramie.6. A very light one.7. General Eisenhower.8. I think it might be paprika?9. Paris.10. Melbourne.
