Vee doesn't want to pretend that they haven't thought about branding. It was sort of important to independent artists, no matter how it could come across as overly -- uh -- commercial? It was weird, Vee knew, mixing you identity with your art and also yourself as a product. They experienced it often, and helped design their friends' business cards sometimes.

If Jeremy didn't have ideas, Vee might just have to play with colors until they hit some idea that Jeremy liked.

"Is it hard to form a band? I guess so, right? The way you all have to be on the same schedules." Like D&D or game nights. "How do you feel about warm colors, cool colors, or really loud colors?" Vee asks, getting some ideas together. Yes, they wanted to sit in on the jam session, but coming with some colors in their bag -- markers or paint pens -- might be helpful.

"Where do you usually practice?"

MADISON – Organizers of an upcoming Dane County parade banned politicians and candidates for office from marching, despite previously allowing incumbents and current officials to participate.

Restrictions on the Sunday event were put in place after complaints were lodged by conservatives who wanted GOP candidates to participate since Middleton-area elected officials are all Democrats.

Some comments made on social media, including one that suggested Republican candidates should walk in the parade anyway and bring firearms, prompted organizers to ban all politicians from the event, according to a statement by the Middleton Good Neighbor Festival. 

Republican candidate for Dane County Sheriff Anthony Hamilton in a radio appearance last week called the parade policy “a very clear violation of the law,” and called upon his supporters to push back against the city, sparking the debate.

“The Middleton Good Neighbor parade has forbidden any Republican from walking in their thing this week coming up... only incumbents, and I would like to reach out to all of your listeners and have them call the Middleton Good Neighbor organization and the city of Middleton and protest the decision," Hamilton said.

Festival president Nancy Vickery said one threat that prompted the new policy was to have Middleton “blown off the face of the Earth." Vickery said she faults Hamilton for fueling animosity toward the city during his interview with conservative radio show host Vicki McKenna.

“I would say I blame him,” Vickery said. “For a law enforcement officer to come out and try to start something to incite people to come and cause problems, I think that is pretty sad.”

Vickery added the restrictions placed on candidates for office in the parade were intended to limit campaigning at the event and were not based on partisan affiliation. She said Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson was invited to participate.

Hamilton disavowed calls for violence made by others after he pushed back against the parade policy. He said advocates for such courses of action were not supporters of his and described openly carrying firearms at the parade as “an exceptionally bad idea.”

“Those people did not represent me at all," Hamilton said. " So, anyone that made any commentary about showing up armed or anything like that, stay in your basement. We don't want you here. Keep your ideas at home."

Democratic state Rep. Dianne Hesselbein, who represents Middleton, cast doubt on the possibility of violent acts unfolding at the Good Neighbor Festival and said she consistently felt safe in public appearances at similar parades

“I've always felt safe being in any of the parades that I've been in, whether it be Verona or Waunakee or Mt. Horeb,” Hesselbein said. "I've never felt nervous in any way.”

A Middleton Police Department official also said they have seen little evidence to indicate any armed rallies or attacks will take place this weekend. Capt. Jeremy Geiszler described threatening comments online as "vague" and lacking "specific threats."

Regardless, Geiszler said the department is keeping tabs on the issue and said he does not condone open carrying at the Good Neighbor Festival, though the practice is legal in Wisconsin. 

“Our number one hope is that nobody shows up open carrying,” Geiszler said. “We’re definitely taking it seriously, we’re monitoring the situation. We would obviously discourage people trying to do that, trying to escalate the situation.”

While the decision to remove political figures of all stripes from their parade stemmed from a desire to safeguard against violence, Vickery said Middleton will likely keep the ban in place in an effort to depoliticize the event entirely.

Vickery said the excessive presence of candidates for office in a community event detracts from the entertainment value of the parade, particularly for children and families.

"We didn't want a bunch of politicians in the parade," Vickery said. "That's not entertaining for people. A bunch of kids will be sitting there watching the parade with all these people walking by they have no clue who they are."

Both Hamilton and Hesselbein expressed frustration with the full candidate ban put into place, with Hamilton again calling on the Good Neighbor Festival to allow both challengers and incumbents to march.

“I think parades are kind of an American tradition where candidates for election get to have an open, contact and open with voters, and I would prefer that they allow all candidates, but I respect their opinion,” Hamilton said.

Hesselbein said she is willing to step aside for this year’s parade in order to comply with city rules and regulations, but was discouraged by the festival's departure from a longstanding tradition.

“If my not being there, and being banned from the committee makes that happen, then I'm okay with that,” Hesselbein said “I’m disappointed, but that's their decision and I will abide by it.”

@jere-me--oh-my

To some this might have seemed like a dismissal, but Cruz took it for what she had known Jeremy Johnson to inhabit, which was the four C's. Calm, cool collected, and chill. And, yes, cool and chill were two totally different words with different meanings in this context.

She admired this about him, and wished she get some of it to rub off on her so that she could, as he had suggested just earlier, slow down sometimes and relax. Not put too much thought on the future and instead focus on the here and now.

"Too true," she agreed with a firm nod. "Like a warm slice of pizza, for example?"

For the week of 5 May 2019

Quick Bits:

Age of Conan: Bêlit #3 throws a few road bumps in the way of Bêlit’s plans as the Kushites renege of their deal and her drunken “Captain” continues being a jerk. I’m really liking this exploration of Bêlit’s early days from Tini Howard, Kate Niemczyk, Scott Hanna, Jason Keith, and Travis Lanham.

| Published by Marvel

Archie #704 throws some roadblocks in the way of Archie and Sabrina’s relationship through the form of a “Bachelor”-like charity programme set up by Cheryl. I love the even more stylized pastel colour palette from Matt Herms.

| Published by Archie Comics

Batman & The Outsiders #1 is an entertaining debut from Bryan Hill, Dexter Soy, Veronica Gandini, Clayton Cowles. I’ve not read the arc in Detective Comics that feeds into this, but this first issue provides enough information for new readers now to be lost and gives good incentive to check out what’s come before. Great art from Soy and Gandini, with an interesting look inside a team and a compelling start to a mystery about the last survivor from a metahuman generating factory.

| Published by DC Comics

Bettie Page #4 concludes the QE2 aliens caper. Love the art from Julius Ohta, Ellie Wright, and Sheelagh D.

| Published by Dynamite

Bronze Age Boogie #2 continues the strangest Doom Patrol story as the Martian invasion angle has taken hold in the future and a motley crew of heroes bands together to try to stop them. Stuart Moore, Alberto Ponticelli, Giulia Brusco, and Rob Steen are playing with some interesting cross-media influences to tell a highly entertaining tale. It’s rounded out with the usual goodies in the form of prose, letters, and what’s probably my favourite of the back-up strips so far, Major Ursa, from Tyrone Finch, Mauricet, Lee Loughridge, and Rob Steen.

| Published by Ahoy

Conan the Barbarian #6 sees Jason Aaron, Mahmud Asrar, Matthew Wilson, and Travis Lanham tell a story of Conan’s frustrations as a mercenary in the skirmishes between Turan and Stygia. People constantly underestimating Conan is always a fun story.

| Published by Marvel

Deadly Class #38 sees Marcus and Maria return to King’s Dominion. It’s kind of messed up seeing the new status quo, but at the same time the tension that Rick Remender, Wes Craig, Jordan Boyd, and Rus Wooton build here between to old Legacy kids and Marcus & Maria feels like it’s going to explode, suggesting something even worse for the characters is coming soon. It’s very captivating.

Detective Comics #1003 reveals the identity of the Arkham Knight. It’s not really anyone you could have possibly guessed, but an interesting addition to Batman’s rogues gallery. Also the cult surrounding the Arkham Knight is certifiably insane. Gorgeous artwork again from Brad Walker, Andrew Hennessy, and Nathan Fairbairn.

| Published by Marvel

The Empty Man #7 goes full Clive Barker as we get an explanation for what the Empty Man really is and how he continues to manifest himself upon reality. I know I keep saying it, but the body horror brought about in the art from Jesús Hervás and Niko Guardia just can’t be stressed enough. Every issue they seem to outdo themselves with creepy and intriguing designs.

| Published by BOOM! Studios

Eve Stranger #1 looks to be another winner for Black Crown. This first issue sets up the titular character as a secret agent who seems to need to reboot her memory every week. Why, exactly, is left unknown, but that’s part of the fun. David Barnett, Philip Bond, Eva de la Cruz, and Jane Heir do a wonderful job here with the action and intrigue. Also it’s great to see Bond doing more espionage tinged action, his art always looks so great telling these kinds of stories.

| Published by IDW / Black Crown

Excellence #1 is a thoroughly excellent debut from Brandon Thomas, Khary Randolph, Emilio Lopez, and Deron Bennett. The world and character building in this first issue is impeccable and the art from Randolph and Lopez will just blow you away. Incredible development of a magic-based society and the class structure therein.

| Published by Image / Skybound

The Flash #70 begins “Year One” promising new insight and occurrences during Barry’s origin story. Given that the last time this happened his mother was murdered, changing the timeline and resulting down the line in Barry trying to fix it with Flashpoint, anything’s possible. The real draw, though, is the stunning artwork from Howard Porter and Hi-Fi. Porter is really giving this his all and it shines through wonderfully.

| Published by DC Comics

Hawkman #12 brings Bryan Hitch’s tenure on the series to an end with the conclusion to “Cataclysm”. This is an excellent, action-packed final confrontation between the legion of Hawkmen and the Deathbringers, setting up a whole Hawkman for possibly the first time and hints as to worse things waiting on the horizon.

| Published by DC Comics

Infinite Dark #6 amplifies the terror and chaos as the dead-ish things exposed to the void start spreading fear and panic throughout the station. Ryan Cady, Andrea Mutti, K. Michael Russell, and Troy Peteri ratchet up the horror here.

| Published by Image / Top Cow

Invaders #5 raises more questions after we thought some things were coming into focus in the previous issue, as Chip Zdarsky, Carlos Magno, Butch Guice, Alex Guimarães, and Travis Lanham continue “War Ghosts”. The tension here on the brink of all out war between the US and Atlantis is incredible, and there are more interesting twists that suggest something far more sinister occurring.

| Published by Marvel

Jim Henson’s The Storyteller: Sirens #2 features a gorgeous adaptation of the story of Chinese mother goddess, Nuwa, by Chan Chau with letters by Jim Campbell. The artwork is amazingly beautiful supporting a very sweet tale.

| Published by Boom Entertainment / Archaia

Justice League Odyssey #9 opens up an interesting thread that Starfire, Cyborg, and Azrael may be unduly under the influence of Darkseid. Dan Abnett is setting up some simmering conflict between Jessica Cruz and the rest of the team here, along with quite a few occult catchphrases thrown in to help amplify the mood.

| Published by DC Comics

Lodger #5 is the end to this excellent crime drama from the Laphams and it is all kinds of messed up. We learn what really happened to Ricky’s family and...yeah. This has been a strange, at times disturbing, ride and they stuck the landing.

| Published by IDW / Black Crown

Murder Falcon #8 is the epic conclusion to this series as Jake and Murf take on Magnum Khaos. Between this series and Extremity, Daniel Warren Johnson has proven himself time and again as a master storyteller and it shines through with the heartrending end to this story. This one goes up to eleven.

| Published by Image / Skybound

Red Sonja & Vampirella Meet Betty & Veronica #1 is an interesting mash-up of the three properties from Amy Chu, Maria Sanapo, Vinicius Andrade, and Taylor Esposito. Some nice fish out of water humour as Sonja and Vampirella acclimate to Riverdale.

| Published by Dynamite

Savage Sword of Conan #5 concludes “The Cult of Koga Thun” from Gerry Duggan, Ron Garney, Richard Isanove, and Travis Lanham. Some interesting twists in this finale of what has been a highly entertaining adventure.

| Published by Marvel

She Could Fly: The Lost Pilot #2 sees Martín Morazzo cut loose again with some of the designs and presentation for Luna’s dreams and schizophrenic episodes.

| Published by Dark Horse / Berger Books

Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Boba Fett #1 features some incredibly rich artwork from Marc Laming and Neeraj Menon. Great detail throughout this story spotlighting Boba Fett’s cold, silent amorality.

| Published by Marvel

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #32 begins “Unspeakable Rebel Superweapon” as Aphra and her young protege steal the titular MacGuffin. There’s some interesting flashbacks to Aphra’s youth and it’s great to see Caspar Wijngaard doing more Star Wars art, even if just the flashbacks.

| Published by Marvel

These Savage Shores #4 is a sumptuous feast. Ram V, Sumit Kumar, Vittorio Astone, and Aditya Bidikar are elevating the artform of comics which each subsequent issue. The epistolary narrative, the horror and mythological themes, the plays upon the nine-panel grid, the shadowy character designs, the lush and spooky colours, the overlap with historical events, the unique approach and detail in each character’s missive...just one of these elements would result in an entertaining tale, this comic mixes all of them into a superlative package. You’re doing yourself a disservice if you’re not reading this series.

| Published by Vault

The Unstoppable Wasp #7 throws Nadia a birthday party, wherein she learns of her relations to what seems like half of the Marvel universe. Also, issues a death threat to Tony Stark. It’s cute, from Jeremy Whitley, Alti Firmansyah, Espen Grundetjern, and Joe Caramagna.

| Published by Marvel

War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas #1 sets up the conflict in the Pacific with Sindr while introducing a swath of new international characters to the Marvel universe. Also, Amadeus Cho continues to be a massive idiot, even at his shrunken size. Great art from Gang Hyuk Lim and Federico Blee.

| Published by Marvel

Wonder Twins #4 sets up the twins with a pair of dates, allowing for some hilarious misadventures. Also, Polly seems to have a weird obsession with testicular cancer. Mark Russell, Stephen Byrne, and Dave Sharpe continue the fun, even though this one kind of takes us away from all ages material.

| Published by DC Comics / Wonder Comics

Wyrd #3 opens up the messy can of worms of Wyrd’s past further as a figure out of the past he can’t remember emerges for a “meet”. Great tone and atmosphere for this story from Curt Pires, Antonio Fuso, Stefano Simeone, and Micah Myers.

| Published by Dark Horse

X-Force #7 begins “The Counterfeit King” from Ed Brisson, Dylan Burnett, Damian Couceiro, Jesus Aburtov, and Joe Caramagna as past and present threaten to collide. Some nice character development for the team as they wait for Deathlok to do his thing.

2018 Year End Compilation

Top Ten Theatrical Shows

2018 really saw me stretch my wings and explore New York City theater on a level I’d never thought possible before. Much love and thanks for all the +1 invites, guys! You know who you are.

10) The Brobot Johnson Experience, The Bushwick Starr

A one-man musical that’s a dizzying blend of Afrofuturism, 80s hip-hop chic, and DIY theatrical kitsch, “The Brobot Johnson Experience” was supremely weird yet inspiring and downright delightful. Audience participation has never been so much fun! 

9) Hello, Dolly!, Sam S. Shubert Theatre

Seeing Bernadette Peters in "Hello, Dolly!" should be medically classified as theatrical serotonin.

8) Long Day's Journey Into Night, BAM Harvey Theater

Eugene O'Neill. Jeremy Irons. Lesley Manville. Oh my, yes.

7) Bernhardt/Hamlet, Roundabout Theatre

“When a woman does nothing, she’s nothing. When a man does nothing, he’s Hamlet!” A profound, endlessly revelatory meditation on the symbiotic yet destructive relationship between works of art and artists, Theresa Rebeck’s “Bernhardt/Hamlet” is both a passionate tribute to one of the greatest actresses who ever lived and an exploration of why a four-hour play about a passive, moody Dane has captivated and frustrated our species for centuries. Oh, and Janet McTeer was EXPLOSIVE!!!

6) The Damned, Park Avenue Armory

Based on the screenplay for the Luchino Visconti film of the same name, Ivo van Hove’s production of “The Damned” tells the story of a Weimar-era aristocratic family’s self-destruction in the face of the rise of Nazism. I’ve seen a lot of difficult, challenging theater, but this was by far the single most exhausting production I’ve ever sat through. Most of this is due to van Hove’s use of time—much like Tarkovsky and Antonioni, he uses time as a cudgel with which to interrogate unspeakable emotional and psychological interiors. I’ve never seen a theatrical production attempt something like this before, and I’m not entirely sure van Hove succeeded. Much of this was due to the venue’s size—as my buddy Steve Kopian pointed out, the Park Avenue Armory is too big for such a “small” story—and the decision to have the imported cast speak their lines in French instead of English. For those of us qui ne parlons pas Français, the only way to follow the labyrinthine story was through the use of subtitles flashed on screens above the stage, and since van Hove’s complex staging used multiple points of action across the Armory at any given moment, it was inevitable that certain plot points and character moments would be missed. (Unless, as Steve knowingly teased, you’d seen the movie. Which I hadn’t...) Still, the production’s genius is undeniable. I haven’t felt this disturbed and discomforted by a work of art in some time. I’ve seen the gimmick of using Steadycams to simultaneously record and project a stage play across giant screens before, but never this successfully and brilliantly. In fact, it didn’t feel like a gimmick at all.

5) The Band's Visit, Barrymore Theatre

You know, I’ve seen a lot of musicals. And in that time I’ve learned that characters in musicals always WANT something. But this might be the first time I’ve seen a musical about characters who want something to WANT. Some of them even get it. But not all. And that’s important. And true. And heart-breakingly beautiful. What a gift of a show.

4) The Ferryman, Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre

Set in a rural Northern Ireland farm during The Troubles, "The Ferryman” is a sprawling 3 1/2 hour play that won just about every award a play can win across the pond. The first two acts played almost like a John Ford family drama, complete with broad semi-comedic stereotypes for the minor family members like the long-winded Virgil-quoting grandfather, the coquettish daughter obsessed with American culture, and the great aunt who drifts in and out of dementia to tell stories of banshees and lost loves. The third act, however, veers hard into Eugene O’Neill territory, channeling not just his uncompromising bleakness but also basically reimagining the last act of his masterpiece “Long Day’s Journey into Night” by quietly watching as a disillusioned middle-aged married couple unloads decades of resentment in the wee hours of the morning over a bottle of whiskey as an insane old biddy wanders about in the background muttering to herself. Then again, I’m not sure O’Neill ever ended one of his plays with a Shakespearean flourish of violence that sees three different characters killed in the literal final 60 seconds. Is it good? Undeniably. Is it perfect? No. But I wish more plays were willing to take so many chances.

3) Rags Parkland Sings the Songs of the Future, Ars Nova

“Stella Charlemagne” and “We Are and We Are and We Are.” I can remember those two songs as clearly as when I first heard them in this magnificent play. And considering that the music hasn’t been released on CD or streaming, that means they’ve been lodged in my head after a single listen. I can’t remember 95% of the songs I hear in any given musical, even the ones I like. But the fact that these two have stuck with me speaks more to the power of this wonderful musical than anything else I can think of. Hopefully this show will show back up again. Soon.

2) The Jungle, St. Ann’s Warehouse

Interactive theater usually goes one of two ways. It’s either some of the most impactful, moving art you will ever experience or some of the most hilariously miscalculated and terrible. I’m pleased to announce that Joe Murphy & Joe Robertson’s “The Jungle,” currently playing at St. Ann’s Warehouse after it’s run in England at the National Theatre and the Young Vic, is the former. Based on the true story of the Afghan Café, a restaurant in the refugee camp occupying Calais, France, it transforms the theater into a cafeteria and impromptu meeting place for the smattering of residents and European volunteers desperately struggling to keep their self-governing community from falling apart. This may have been the finest stage acting I’ve ever seen—and I should know seeing as how I was literally sitting at the table that served as the stage for much of the production. In particular, the monologue that opens the second act where a refugee from Darfur recounts his experiences surviving genocide and being smuggled across the Mediterranean in an overcrowded boat is going to haunt my nightmares for the rest of my life. This is one of the rare works of art that should be considered essential viewing for all mankind. It reminds us what it means to live and survive as human beings.

1) Angels in America, National Theatre

“Greetings, Prophet!”

[captainjamesjoneshook]

@jere-me--oh-my

Ever since James had agreed to help Jeremy out, he had regretted it. There had been plenty of times leading up to it that he had contemplated backing out. But then he would think about how fucked up of a move that was and stop himself. For as guilty as he felt about dedicating time away from learning about hunting and from getting his body up to par to be able to walk again, he would feel even more guilty about letting down a friend.

Hopefully his father would understand that sentiment– wherever he had ended up.

It had also scared him how easy it was to be distracted by the music. He'd gone over it and rehearsed a lot leading up to the studio session, and he would get lost in it. Hours would suddenly be bled away before he even realized it, in comparison to other things he did in life that seemed to drag on and hold the clock's minute hand to hold still at gun point.

James nodded his thanks to Jeremy as he held the door open, making his way past the bassist (where he did pause to offer a fist for the other to bump and introduce himself briefly,) to get to the kit where the stool was waiting for him. He dropped into it and shook his head at Jeremy, raising a hand in polite dismissal, "Nah, you're good, mate. Do what you gotta do."

Drumroll Please || JimJams

[captainjamesjoneshook]

@jere-me--oh-my

James dragged his gaze up from the hospital bed to Jeremy for a moment before he had to look away again, knowing he might give himself away.

Because poor Jeremy Johnson was speaking from a place of blissful ignorance. Where he didn't know the whole truth of the situation. Of the person he was offering to help. And if he did, James very much doubted he would be so willing to cast such kindness his way.

"Fair enough. I do tend to eat my feelings, so, the sweets are always very much appreciated," he said, cracking a smile. Then added, with significantly more sincerity, "Thanks, mate."

Nigel Farage says Trump’s racist attack on Democratic congresswomen was ‘genius’

Nigel Farage has enthusiastically praised Donald Trump’s “go back” comments, directed at four congresswomen of colour.The US president’s remarks were widely condemned as racist after he told Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib, to return to the “broken and crime infested places from which they came”.All of the Democrats, known as the Squad, are American citizens. Three of the four were born in the country.Ms Omar, the fourth, arrived in the US as a child refugee.The president described the women as people”who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world”.“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came?” he asked.Despite the significant controversy generated by the remarks, Mr Farage said the comments were shrewd.“I thought, ‘Dear, oh dear, oh dear’. You realise, 48 hours on, it was genius because what’s happened is the Democrats gather round the Squad, which allows him to say, ‘Oh look, the Squad are the centre of the Democratic Party’,” he said.“He’s remarkably good at what he does,” Mr Farage added, in an interview with The Times.“He does things his way. But he is a remarkably effective operator.”Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had condemned Mr Trump’s remarks as “racist” at the time, challenging Boris Johnson to do so too during the Conservative leadership contest.Mr Johnson, now the prime minister, refused to, but did describe the comments as “totally unacceptable”.Former Ukip leader Mr Farage has also found himself mired in race-related controversy at times in the past.In May 2014, he was accused of a making a “racial slur” against Romanians after he suggested he would be concerned living next to a house of them.Later that year, he used an interview with radio station LBC to defend a Ukip candidate who had used the word “ch**ky” to describe a Chinese person.“If you and your mates were going out for a Chinese, what do you say you’re going for?” Mr Farage asked presenter Nick Ferarri.Mr Ferarri responded by saying he “honestly would not” use the phrase in such a context.“A lot would,” Mr Farage replied.

@jere-me--oh-my

She was glad to see her attempts at humor were not lost on him. Sometimes she didn't know if her jokes, often lame ones, would hit with people she didn't know that well, which made it all the nicer when they did. Or, at least, when someone let her believe they did. But Johnson's smile seemed sincere, like everything else about him, so she would take it.

"Maybe, yeah! Never know when it comes to paperwork," she said with a little sigh. Which was true. She had tried to prepare everything she needed but one never did know what little details would suddenly pop up for the sake of pure spite.

Luckily she had her magic in her back pocket in case time got away from her. Just would have to be careful about using it since they would not longer be in the safety of Swynlake.

"If I don't see you, good luck, yeah? Or er- wait, am I supposed to say break a leg?" she asked, suddenly worried she'd just jinxed him.
