Rod Harmon From the Editor

Come to find out, rockers are a light-fingered lot

Like many people, I was anxious to pick up Bob Dylan's new studio album, "Tempest," when it was released Tuesday. But the reason for my anxious state was born

less from a need to listen to new material from Dylan than from a curiosity as to what piece of music he would flagrantly pilfer this time around.

I wasn't disappointed: "Early Roman Kings" on "Tem­pest" has the same melody and chord structure as "Hooch-ie Coochie Man" by Muddy Waters, just as "Someday Baby" from 2006's "Modern Times" was a direct lift from Muddy's

classic "Trouble No More." And, just as he had with "Someday Baby," Bob neglects to give proper credit.

Don't get me wrong -1 love Dylan. I have most of his studio catalog in my CD collection, minus the drek from the '80s.

But - and Dylanologists will prob­ably send me hate mail for saying this - there's no denying that he's always been something of a klepto­maniac, both literally (a colleague in Greenwich Village once called the

cops on him because he had lifted his record collection; Johnny Cash had to go to Woodstock to retrieve his guitar shown on the cover of "Nashville Skyline" because Bob "forgot" to give it back) and creatively (on his debut album in 1962, Dylan "borrowed" Dave Van Ronk's arrangement of "House of the Rising Sun").

But Dylan isn't alone here. Some of rock music's biggest, most legendary stars have stolen from others. And I'm not talking about sampling or using a lyric here or there, I'm talking about blatantly taking the structure of the same song and calling it their own.

Here are five examples of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers poaching other's work without giving credit:

The Beach Boys, "Surfin' USA": When it comes to rock­ers using Chuck Berry riffs in their songs, the list is endless (see The Rolling Stones' early catalog). But the boys of summer didn't just take a riff from Chuck, they took an entire song - "Sweet Little Sixteen - and added new lyrics. Chuck sued, and now he's listed as a co-writer.

Led Zeppelin, "Boogie with Stu" - Zeppelin was notori­ous for borrowing from old blues songs, but for this track off "Physical Graffiti," they took Valen's "Ooh, My Head" virtu­ally riff for riff, lyric by lyric. Following a trip to the barrister, Valens' mom received royalties from "Physical Graffiti."

Madonna, "Express Yourself" - When Lady Gaga ripped off this song for "Born This Way," the Material Girl's fans immediately cried foul. Madonna even does a mash-up of the two songs in concert as a tongue-in-cheek dig at the would-be usurper of her queen of pop throne. But what

Madge doesn't mention in the mash-up is how the chorus of "Express Yourself" sounds exactly

like "Respect Yourself," a 1971 hit by The Staple Singers.

Metallica, "Enter Sandman" - Lars Ulrich was so incensed that Metallica songs were leaked on Napster that he was one of the first to file suit against the pioneer file-sharing site. Guess he wasn't all that concerned that his band's best-known song rips off "Tapping into the Emotion­al Void," a 1989 song by the punk-metal band Excel.

Bruce Springsteen, "Radio Nowhere" - Bruce was once called "the new Bob Dylan," so maybe it's no surprise that this song off "Magic" sounds a lot like Tommy Tutone's 1982 hit "867-5309/Jenny." Was that you, Boss, or just a brilliant disguise?

Don't take my word for all of this - hear it for yourself. Click on this story at www.pressherald.com/life/go and listen to the songs side by side.

It's all right, ma, they're only stealing.

The State Theatre hosts indie rockers Dr. Dog in concert Tuesday.

By RAY ROUTHIERStoffWriter

oin an indie rock band, see theworld.

"We'd always wanted tocome to Alaska, so when wefinally got an offer, we saidyes," said Toby Leaman, bassplayer for rock band Dr. Dog,via phone from Fairbanks onSaturday. "It wasn't an obvi-ous addition to our tour route,

but it worked for us."Dr. Dog has been touring and record-

ing for more than a decade, so Leamanenjoys opportunities to take the tour busoff the beaten path once in a while. On

the way to Fairbanks, he and his band-mates drove through Denali NationalPark and a few other scenic locations.

"Tomorrow, we're going to see somehot springs," said Leaman, 33, a nativeof West Grove, Pa. "We only have twoshows in five days here, so it's nice."

Leaman has learned to appreciatetime on the road. He needed to, ashe and the other members of Dr. Dogspend a lot of time there.

The band has had a "slow burn" ca-reer path, as Leaman puts it. It's beensteadily building up a fan base withenergetic live shows and word of mouth- its latest release, "Be the Void," hitNo. 6 and No. 8 on Billboard's indepen-

dent and alternative charts, respec-tively - but Dr. Dog is certainly not yet ahousehold name.

And that's just fine with the band,which will headline a show at Portland'sState Theatre on Tuesday. The concertwill open with Portland's own SpencerAlbee and the California-based rock/soul band Delta Spirit.

"The way I look at it, we're lucky to bedoing what we're doing," said Leaman."We've never had massive airplay oranything. But in the time we've been do-ing this, we've seen a ton of bands comeand go. And we're still here."

tion. You can findmore informationat facebook.com/AntisepticBand.

How did Anti-septic come to be,

and has the lineup changed over theyears?

The band was formed in 1998 becauseI had been playing bass in a band withEd Gaines and Doug Wood called Rotorsto Rust, but I was writing a ton of songsthat did not fit into what Rotors to Rustwas doing. I then asked Ed's youngerbrother (Wesley), who had been playingdrums for a couple of years, to work onmy songs with me. Wes suggested thathis friend Brad play bass.

What's Antiseptic's recording his-tory? Are there CDs out there? Digitalreleases?

We have been recording songs since1998, and have made a few CDs in verylimited quantities, most of which havebeen handed out at shows. Many of theirare/were available for download atextrasolarupdating.blogspot. com. Weare going to record at Acadia Record-ing Studio with Todd Hutchisen inOctober, and expect to release ourfirst official CD by December.

When did you first learn to play theguitar? And when did you first startwriting songs?

I started playing bass guitar when Iwas 15, and still consider myself moreof a bass player, and I have been writ-ing songs since then.

What musicians inspire or haveinfluenced you?

Donovan, John Frusciante, Alan andRichard Bishop, Bob Dylan, Butthole

Koray and Nirvana.

How did you develop your distinctsinging style?

I have to do the best that I can withwhat I have.

REVIEW

This 'Woodenball' gets knocked outta the park

By KRISTIN DiCARA-McCLELLAN There are many descriptive words that come to mind when

thinking about the new CD "Woodenball" from the pop/rock/ Americana band Toughcats, and right at the top of the list (as trite and general as it may be) is "catchy."

From beginning to end, the 10-song CD from the North Haven/ Vinalhaven band has melodies and riffs that linger with the lis­

tener for hours. TOUGHCATS - "WOODENBALL" Produced by Joe Nelson

Based on a four-star scale

The lead/title track sets the mood with the sounds of some­one rowing a rowboat, and the water creates the mood of relax­ation, movement and continuity. It's subtle, and that made me turn up the volume. Clever le­

veraging? Maybe, but it doesn't really matter; the listener would more than likely turn it up anyway.

Immediately after the rowboat reverberations, a cheerful and poppy guitar lick comes right out of the blue, followed by lead singer Jake Greenlaw's comforting and sultry voice: "Running to the Woodenball/ What a way to end a fall/1 don't want to bend a kneel When you are out to sea."

I'm not sure what any of it means. But that seems to be a moot point, as the sonic quality and catchy melodies of each of the individual components within the song make for a feel-good, soothing vibe.

The 10 tracks are all very distinctive, yet fit together under an umbrella of similar resonance. The songs are never wordy: "Some Old Days are Gone" only has one line. I'm not sure how they got away with that in a three-minute song, but they did.

Sounding somewhat like The Connells and at times The Beatles

or The Beach Boys, Toughcats hint at it all but stay true to their roots of who they are: An original act.

"Woodenball" will be released as a physical CD on Tuesday then digitally in October, "to encourage people to think about supporting their local music store before heading to Amazon or iTunes." This is a sentiment many local bands share, and it is a refreshing one.

So, kudos to Toughcats. You guys have achieved a level of musi-cality that most musicians aspire to rise to, and the sounds echo­ing from the top are clear as a clarion call, crisp as the autumn days descending upon us and absolutely, positively rolling in and rolling out, catchy.

"I 'm not a big fan of bands w h o

sound exact ly the same live as

on the record. We usually look at

p laying live and recording as t w o

very d i f ferent th ings."

Toby Leaman, bass player for rock band Dr. Dog

Two New Classes DR. DOG Continued from Page E5

Dr. Dog began with Leaman and guitar­ist Scott McMicken playing together as teens in West Grove. When they started recording, the band was basically just the two of them, so there was lots of overdub-bing and layering of sounds in the record­ing studio. Partly because of that, the band got an early reputation as sounding like a '60s hard-rock outfit.

Leaman admits that he and McMicken were influenced heavily by Jimi Hendrix. But the artist who really made him want to be a professional musician was Tom Waits - a musical legend with a devoted fan base, but an artist who has never had a hit single and whose albums rarely crack the mainstream Top 20. Kind of like Dr. Dog.

"I was about 12 when my uncle bought me my first (Tom Waits album), and it sort of freaked me out," Leaman said. "It took me about two years to figure it out. I couldn't process it. It must have been the way it was for Native Americans when they saw the first Europeans and their

ships." Leaman says that people who come to

a Dr. Dog show should expect most of the songs to sound different than on record. The earliest recordings consisted of just himself and McMicken, but the band is usually a five- or six-person outfit nowa­days.

"I'm not a big fan of bands who sound exactly the same live as on the record," said Leaman. "We usually look at playing live and recording as two very different things."

Will goes ashore in a huff, and when he returns, the boat'sbeen moved and his family's gone. A rough encounter withcorrupt Spanish cops has him convinced powerful forceshave nabbed them. But who?

Since Dad is a CIA agent and not some embassy culturalattache, as he's always said, that could be anybody.

A moving, hilarious taleof a life on cruise control

Aguy walks through a closed second-floor window...

That's not the start of a joke. It was,however, the impetus behind "Sleepwalkwith Me," a one-man stage show, comedyalbum, book and now feature film fromcomedian, monologist and now movie di-rector Mike Birbiglia, which opens Fridayat the Nickelodeon in Portland.

A few years ago while on tour in WallaWalla, Wash., Birbiglia had a nightmare

that a nuclear missilewas heading straightfor his hotel room. Alongtime sufferer ofa rare sleep disorder,he dreamed that heleaped out of bed andright through that

Dannie Da r Line closed window, land-ueimu renting ing on the lawn andI n H i P F i I m then in the emergencyl l i u i e r i l l l l room, where he re-

ceived 33 stitches. Andsome great material for his stand-up act.

Birbiglia's stand-up, always autobio-graphical, has a dreamy, sleepy-eyed,everyman persona belying masterfulstorytelling skills that can turn a seem-ingly mundane tale into something spell-binding. (He's like Spalding Gray crossedwith Joel Hodgson of "Mystery ScienceTheater 3000.")

The stage version of "Sleepwalk withMe" chronicled the comic's struggles tofind his voice, navigate his relationshipwith his longtime girlfriend (played in thefilm by Lauren Ambrose of "Six Feet Un-der") and cope with a worsening conditionthat causes him to act out his dreams inoften unpredictable ways.

The film version, which was directed byBirbiglia and co-written with Ira Glass("This American Life") and others, is atrimmed-down version of the stage pro-duction and shaped into a more straight-forward narrative in which Birbiglia'sproblems stem from his unwillingness toconfront things head-on.

He doesn't fully commit himself to hiscareer, his relationship or, you know, find-ing a way to make sure he doesn't jumpout a window in his sleep - and finds outthe damage that results.

Addressing the camera directly, hisshared understanding of his own foolish-ness is both funny and sad. "I know," heassures the audience after a particularly

egregious misstep, "I'm in the futurealso..."

Like most one-person shows, it's ajourney of comic and personal growthwith some killer jokes throughout, andBirbiglia (or his lightly fictionalized filmversion, Matt Pandamiglio) lends eachdevelopment an utterly endearing layerof self-deprecation, even when his actionsaren't particularly laudable.

If there's a knock on the film, it's thatfirst-time director Birbiglia doesn't yetpossess comedian Birbiglia's storytellingvirtuosity. His decision to visualize someof his more unusual sleepwalking dreamsyields some surreal laughs, but somesequences (like those with his parents,played by the undeniably talented CarolKane and James Rebhorn) lack the snapof his carefully crafted anecdotes, comingmore as service to the film's streamlinedplot.

But I'm being picky. "Sleepwalk withMe" is a moving, hilarious and deeply per-sonal comedy about one guy's realizationthat just going along as if everything's fineis a one-way ticket to, well, lying in yourunderpants on the glass-strewn lawn of acheap hotel.

RELEASES NEW ON THE SHELF

"SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN," star­ring Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth. This gorgeous-looking update and slight tweaking of the beloved fairy tale is all about the peripheral players, with Charlize Theron handily steal­ing every scene as the wicked queen with a performance that in hindsight probably should have been the central focus. As it stands, we're stuck with the ever-pouty Stewart ("Twilight") and the dashing enough but otherwise less than distinctive Hemsworth ("Thor") as the titular heroine and rescuer, respectively. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and brief sensuality. Running time: 2:07

Suggested retail price: $29.98; Blu-ray $34.98

"WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECT­ING," starring Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez. While certainly not the first book that springs to mind when considering ideal candidates for film adaptation, the go-to book for expectant moth­ers and terrified fathers everywhere provides the loose framework for this likable, star-studded comedy. Rated PG-13. Running time: 1:50

Suggested retail price: $29.95; Blu-ray $39.99

"THE BIG BANG THEORY: THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON," starring Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki. Sheldon, Leonard and the rest of the geeky gang continue their spirited pursuit of scientific innovation and far less assured pursuit of the opposite sex in this consistently hilarious and incredibly popular sitcom. Special features include a gag reel and a retrospective featurette. Not rated; contains mild language and crude humor. Running time: 9:12

Suggested retail price: $44.98; Blu-ray $54.97

"SPARTACUS - VENGEANCE: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON," starring Liam Mclntyre and Katrina Law. The second season of this acclaimed blood 'n' guts, 'n' sex gladiator series applies the old "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach in all areas save one unavoidable aspect: The replace­ment of the late and lamented Andy Whitfield with relative newcomer Mclntyre ("The Pacific"), who finds his footing in short order and proves a more than worthy successor in the lead role. Not rated; contains graphic violence, strong sexual content and nudity. Running time: 9:16

Suggested retail price: $49.98; Blu-ray $59.99

NEW TO BLU-RAY "KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE," star­

ring Grant Cramer and John Vernon. This singular fusion of silly slapstick and genuine terror is a cult fave from 1988 that effectively preys on the widespread fear of clowns, somehow manag­ing to garner both low-rent laughs and real scares. Containing some of the most innovative make-up effects of the 1980s, "Klowns" remains a terrific throwback to the creature-feature drive-in flicks of the 1950s, and furthermore can boast easily the catchiest theme song of its decade courtesy of The Dickies. Rated PG-13 for language and some seriously frightening clowns. Running time: 1:28

Suggested retail price: $16.99

"PRODUCED BY GEORGE MARTIN," docu­mentary. An intimated and well-populated ode to the life and vast work of celebrated British record producer Martin, whose initial forays into orchestral and children's music eventually led to arguably the most important and essential artist/ producer collaboration in the history of popular music when he made the acquaintance of a little

band called The Beatles. Special features include more than 50 minutes of additional interviews. Not rated; nothing objectionable. Running time: 2:28

Suggested retail price: $19.98

V IDEOPORT PICKS "ELLES," starring Juliette Binoche and Anais

Demoustier. Unflinching, often unpleasant and always compelling, this no-holds-barred Parisian import from writer-director Malgorzata Szu-mowska concerns Anne (Binoche), an unfulfilled wife, harried mother and respected journalist who finds herself drawn more intensely than she'd expected into the lives of her current interview subjects: A pair of young prostitutes (Joanna Kulig and Anais Demoustier) whose matter-of-fact attitude towards their occupation of choice both intrigues and disturbs Anne.

Unflattering parallels between the lives in question are soon raised, and while this may irk more than a few viewers, irking appears to be at least one of Szumowska's intentions with this uncompromising film. Ultimately, the best reason to give "Elles" a spin is Binoche herself, a fearless performer who throws herself into the role with everything she's got, going places most actors wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole. Rated NC-17 for explicit sexual content. Running time: 1:39

Suggested retail price: $29.95; Blu-ray $34.95

"WHERE DO WE GO NOW?" starring Claude Baz Moussawbaa and Leyla Hakim. There would be an obvious challenge inherent in the act of fashioning a light comedy out of the bloody conflict between Christian and Muslims in the Middle East, but writer-director Nadine Labaki and her collaborator Thomas Bidegain appear to have done just that. "Where Do We Go Now?" gently posits the notion that if more women were in charge, there might be fewer wars and conflict in general.

Finally pushed to the breaking point after years of conflict in their village and fatal disputes over often petty arguments, a group of women go to extreme and often hilarious lengths to distract their hot-headed spouses from clashing, resorting to such schemes as sneaking hashish into their food to inspire giggly camaraderie and even bussing in a troupe of exotic dancers from the Ukraine to very successfully take their mind off of their differences. Rated PG-13 for thematic drug material, some sensuality and violent im­ages. Running time: 1:50

Suggested retail price: $30.99; Blu-ray $45.99

Frank Langella and the android voiced by Peter Sarsgaard in "Robot and Frank."

Laugh, cry as robot gives ahand to man losing his grip

By COLIN COVERTMcClatchy Newspapers

The time is the near future. Phones areslicker. Libraries are closing becausebooks are obsolete. People still eat cornflakes and drive regular cars and there'sno cure for Alzheimer's.

Frank (Frank Langella) is too proudand stubborn to admit that his forgetful-ness is getting to be a problem, so hisson gets him a caretaker. A robot. "If youdon't mind my saying so, Frank, I thinkI could be a big help to you," it remarks.Frank resists, but it's the robot or theretirement home.

After a contentious period of adjust-ment, the calm-voiced, infinitely patientlittle helper has Frank eating healthier,more focused, better connected to life.In fact, he's feeling so confident thathe wants to slip back into his old line ofwork: cat burglary. And he makes hisautomated assistant his partner in crime.

"Robot and Frank" is an absurdistcomedy that's also a moving drama aboutthe human experience and a touchingportrait of old age. It's seriously emo-tional, occasionally deeply sad and evenpessimistic, but very funny.

The film owes a large measure of itssuccess to Langella's perfectly modulat-ed performance. He captures the plightof an intelligent man who's beginning tolose his grip. Much of the film is a one-man show, as he interacts with the visor-faced android (which speaks in the soft,tranquil tones of Peter Sarsgaard.)

One can only marvel at the emotionaldepth this talented actor brings forth.Burglars by and large are not personableor charming, and Frank is no exception.He is serious and gruff, almost a bit ofa heavy. He's distant from his children(played by James Marsden and Liv Tyler,each of whom has made a turbulent sort

REVIEW"ROBOT AND FRANK," starring FrankLangella, Peter Sarsgaard, SusanSarandon, James Marsden and LivTyler. Directed by Jake Schreier. RatedPG-13 for some language. Runningtime: 1:29

of peace with this difficult old man).He's perversely admirable for his

daring, his skill at larceny and his law-less code. He only steals diamonds and"nobody gets hurt except the insurancecompany." And the more Frank denieshis growing vulnerability, the more pro-tective we feel toward him.

Frank's first foray back into criminalityis a rare-book heist intended to impressthe kind local librarian (Susan Saran-don). There's a warm and poignant in-terplay between the co-stars. You mightpredict that they will fall into a saccha-rine late-life romance, but ChristopherFord's canny script and Jake Schreier'sdeft direction make the relationshipricher and more intelligent than that.They also create an oddly affecting bondbetween the testy old man and his placidsurrogate caretaker.

Frank decides to rob the house of apatronizing technology consultant who'stransforming the library into a sterilevirtual-reality museum. It's an act ofpoetic revenge on a man who's wipingout the community's memory banks, butit boomerangs on Frank and his faithfulrobot in a way that hits painfully close tohome.

The underlying theme of this marvelousmovie is the pain of losing connections- to family, to the past, even to cherishedobjects - but it never loses its connectionto the audience.

puertos, past the Benettons and in Audis, Land Rovers and BMWs. I half expected Cavill to crack, "Whaddaya know, it IS the ultimate driving machine!"

The bad guys - and it's hard to think of any real "good" guys here - want a briefcase. Will falls in with leggy Lucia (Veronica Echegui) in pursuit of that briefcase, and those who have it or want it - an assemblage that includes a sneering, hooting Sigourney Weaver, who seems to be the only member of the cast having a good time.

It's a bad script, full of wheezing torture scenes where Will is slapped silly and forced to sum things up for his torturers - "I've told you over and over again ..."

The chases are jerky, jumpy affairs in the "Bourne" mold, but not staged or filmed with nearly as much verve. Direc­tor Mabrouk El Mechri, who did the witty/ violent Jean-Claude Van Damme "come­back" film "JCVD," doesn't have enough game to make this tired plot fresh.

"The Cold Light of Day" is a loose varia­tion on the "fish out of water" thriller, with Will unable to speak Spanish (he shouts "ENGLISH!" at the hapless Spaniards, as if that'll help), in over his head and as likely to fire off a round into his foot as hit a bad guy. But most everybody here seems out of water, starting with Willis. If he learned anything about sailboats in "Jackal" back in the last century, he forgot

Not that he'd know those terms either. Questions keep popping up. Where did

Dad get a car? How did he get the drop on those bad guys in the middle of nowhere? Who still uses a Blackberry? Wasn't that door Sigourney closed just ripped off her Range Rover?

And Cavill, game though he is, doesn't have the presence to make us ignore all those and go along for the ride. "The Cold Light of Day" just doesn't stand up to the scrutiny of the cold light of you-know-what.

y now, we should not be surprised when the FreeportPlayers take artistic chances.

"I don't see how we can survive if we don't," said thecommunity theater's managing and artistic director,Elizabeth Guffey. "If we are not doing things we feelpassionately about, there is no point. That involves

taking chances. We did 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' a fewyears ago, and nobody came. But we did it."

Last year, the company staged an original piece by Freeportresident Gar Roper, "Chanson: The Lives and Music of Edith Piafand Jacques Brel." That show drew good-sized crowds.

This week, the company opens a showcase of work written byMaine playwrights, "Can U Rel8?" - eight short plays by JohnCariani, Ray Dinsmore, Linda Britt, Cullen McGough, E.B. Cough-lin and Guffey.

It's bold programming for any theater, and especially for a corn-

munity theater. Generally, community theaters present plays and musicals with lots of name recognition.

But Guffey likes to take chances. She strives to balance her schedule with a mix of shows that she knows will draw big crowds with those that may be less famil­iar but are richly rewarding artistically.

"Our strategy is trying different things and seeing what people like," she said.

"Can U Rel8?" falls into the "richly rewarding" category - and Guffey expects it will also draw good crowds. It previews Thursday, opens Friday, and runs through Sept. 30 at the Freeport Performing Arts Center.

Guffey thinks audiences will enjoy the short-play format. Each piece lasts about 10 minutes, and collectively, the plays add up to a full night of theater.

"I like the genre quite well. It's the short story of plays, tight and focused," Guffey said. "For the audience, it's nice to have that variety in an evening.

"It's a big investment of your time to come in and see a show you have no familiarity with. But there is bound to be something in the evening that you enjoy. It's a little like the Maine weather: Wait 10 minutes, and it will change."

When she put the evening together, Guffey did not set out to highlight Maine playwrights. She was simply looking for a grouping of short plays that worked well together. As she made her decisions, she realized that all the plays she liked hap­pened to be written by Mainers.

"What I was looking for were things that would be interesting for the actors and that would be entertaining to the audience and something they could relate to - and that had a certain charm to them," she

said. Guffey's first pick for the series was

"A Wish Upon a Star" by Cariani, a Tony Award-nominated actor and playwright who grew up in Presque Isle and now lives in New York. He is best known for writing "Almost, Maine" and "Last Gas," both of which received their premieres at Portland Stage Company.

Cariani wrote "A Wish Upon a Star" as a vignette for "Almost, Maine," but cut it from the original production. It is a tender conversation between two strangers, Guffey said.

The Freeport performance will mark the first time "A Wish Upon a Star" will be performed publicly, and sets the tone for the rest of the evening. Cariani has a knack for revealing the extraordinary importance of ordinary moments, and the other plays on the bill offer similar revela­tions: A young couple receiving life-chang­ing news; a parent going on her first date since her divorce; a mother and daughter watching a movie together.

A playwright herself, Guffey met Cariani at a playwriting workshop he taught at the Stonington Opera House. She met some of the playwrights whose work will be fea­tured in the Freeport show at that event, and others at various theater festivals and functions around Maine.

The roster of playwrights ranges from veterans such as Cariani to newcomers such as Coughlin, a 16-year-old from Cape Elizabeth. Her piece, "The Way It Is," rep­resents her first attempt at writing a play.

"They (the plays) are not big comedies or sad dreams. There are thoughtful relationship pieces in there, and there is some humor in there," Guffey said. "But it's a nice mix."

For unique drinks, iterary touch, book a visit to LFKuy n

"T

By EMMA BOUTHILLETTEI he nerves sit ceremoni-ous, like tombs ..."

From where I sat atLFK's arched bar, that was all Icould read of the typewriter keysalong the bar's length that spellout an Emily Dickinson poem.Rather than disrupt others sip-ping drinks at the bar on a recentnight, I read the rest of the poemprinted full-length on the back ofthe food menu.

That poem is just one of themany things you'll find at LFKthat aptly pays homage to liter-ary types. Short for LongfellowFellowship of Knights, the baroverlooks Portland's LongfellowSquare and the statue of Henryhimself. You'll spot a number oftypewriters - some functional,others for decoration - aroundthe bar once you enter. And it'shard to miss books stacked onshelves for your reading plea-sure.

When I walked into LFK, Ithought it was like a bar meet-ing a coffee house. Instead ofa television hung over the tapsfor the sports enthusiast, therewere rather large tables at whichpatrons could gather and sharediscourse. And the tall stoolsalong the length of the bar werecozy. It seemed more fitting tograb a drink and read a bookthan to cheer on your favoritefootball team.

When I stopped in, there hadbeen a "tap takeover" by Vic-tory. Another such takeover isscheduled for Oct. 10, whichwill feature beers from SixpointBrewing. Normally, the bar hasabout a dozen brews on tap,and more offerings in cans andbottles. There is also a list ofred and white wines, but I'd

recommend taking a peek at theeclectic drink menu.

I'm sure that if you'd ask for aCosmo, the bartenders at LFKcould make one. However, thedrink menu features unique mix-es for $9 apiece with names suchas "The Introduction," which is amix of Tangueray, Aperol, lemonand bitters served straight up.

I was going to try the bar'snamesake drink - a bourbon mixwith Old Granddad, orange andapple juices, and ginger beer

- but wasn't sure I'd like it.Instead, I opted for "L-

Squared," made with MaineMead Works Lavender Mead,lemonade and a splash of soda. Itwas hands-down one of the mostrefreshing drinks I've had, andwas perfect for the warm late-summer's eve.

Thanks to a Living Social dealI bought earlier this summer, Ihad some more money to spendat LFK. Another drink wouldhave been tempting, but I wanted

to be able to get home safely so Iordered some dinner.

As unique as the drink menu is,so are LFK's food offerings. Mostdishes cost $9 or less, and areyummy combinations that canmake your mouth water. One thatcaught my eye was the "Ham &Brie." It was a hearty sandwichof ham and Brie cheese servedon a baguette with a side of po-tato salad and a pickle.

When I ordered it, Iwas expecting a fancy take ona grilled cheese, and it turnedout to be a fancy cold ham andcheese sandwich - still delicious,just not what I thought when Iordered it.

Sen. Collins visits breweries, finds out lawmakers can helpSusan Collins spent about two

hours touring three Portlandbreweries last week

While the U.S. senator fromMaine did enjoy some beer atAllagash, Maine Beer Co. andGeary's - nowhere near a fullbottle at any one of them - herprimary purpose seemed to beto pick up some informationabout what is becoming a majorbusiness in Maine.

Part of what she learned isthat federal tax policy can have a big ef-fect on helping Maine businesses grow.

Both Rob Tod, founder of Allagash, andDavid Kleban, one of the founders ofMaine Beer Co., said that federal leg-

islation allowing accelerateddepreciation on equipment wasa major factor in allowing themto undertake major expansions.

Allagash did some major ex-pansions within the past year,and within a week or so is goingto begin construction on a new

TOITl AtWGll 75-barrel brewhouse located infront of its existing plant, where

What AleS YOU there is now a parking lot. Anew parking lot will be built onthe side of the Allagash plant

closer to Riverside Street.Tod told Collins that demand for the

beer requires construction of the newbrewhouse, and that the company plansto keep its current 38-barrel brewhouse

in operation.Allagash has also installed a new bot-

tling system capable of bottling 10,000bottles an hour, although it is running itat 5,000 bottles right now because that isas fast as the manual packers can keepup with it.

Maine Beer has also done some expan-sions in the past year, but the big newsis that it has broken ground on a newbrewery in Freeport, which is expected tobe completed in March.

Alec Porteous, who works in Collins'Portland office, said two depreciationlaws that Collins has supported for a longtime have benefitted the local breweries.

One lets smaller companies write off upto $125,000 in equipment purchased this

year rather than spreading it over time.The other lets larger businesses depreci-ate half of the expenses this year, and therest must be depreciated over time.

"It is great to see how federal tax policycan help make Maine businesses grow,"Collins told me and Hollie Chadwick ofYankee Brew News, the two reporterstagging along on the tour. "These brew-eries are great Maine businesses. Notonly do they employ Maine people, butthey help bring tourists to the state andimprove the economy that way."

Accelerated depreciation is not the onlyfederal legislation in which the brewerswere interested.

Open Lighthouse Day offers a great opportunity to get a close-up look at some genuine Maine icons.

From staff reports ver wonder what the view is like from the top of your favorite lighthouse? Or what the inside of a 100-year-old keeper's house looks like?

On Saturday, we'll all get a chance to peek inside some prominent symbols of Maine's allure and history during the Fourth Annual Maine Open Light­house Day.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (some sites have slightly different hours), 22 light­house sites will be open to the public. For many of the lighthouses, it's the only time of the year that people are allowed inside the structures.

Admission to the towers and their accompanying keepers' houses and other buildings is free, but you'll have to pay for access to some state or town

parks that house the sites. And for lighthouses located on islands, the transportation is up to you.

The Maine Lighthouse Museum in Rockland will also be open as part of the festivi­ties.

If you're trying to decide which lighthouse to visit, we've assembled a list of all of them below, along with locations, the year they were built, their height, and interest­ing tidbits you can use to impress fellow tour-takers while you wait in line.

This Lebowski also uses the

f-word, but it's 'fundraiser'

Dave Cousins' hobby, for lack of a better word, is being "The Dude."

He's got the long mane of hair, and he's got the same worn-out

sweater as Jeff Bridges' "Dude" character in the Coen brothers 1998 cult comedy classic "The Big Lebowski."

Kay KOUtnier working as a web Off Raat developer, Cousins Ul I Dcdl travels to Lebows-

ki-themed festivals around the country.

"I've been to the one in Louisville, Kentucky, which is the granddaddy of them all," said Cousins, 41, of Port­land. "When I found my sweater on eBay, they wanted $300 for it. I guess they figured with all the festivals, somebody would pay that."

Cousins, however, offered a lower amount, and got the sweater anyway.

But being "the Dude" and going to Lebowski celebrations isn't all Cous­ins does. He bowls, which of course is central to the film and the Dude's character. But he also likes to raise money for charities in his community.

Three years ago, Cousins started "Viva Lebowski," a bowling and movie screening party at Bayside Bowl in Portland. (He couldn't call it "Lebowski Fest," by the way because that's copyrighted.)

Some Portland-area venues have hosted Lebowski parties that includ­ed screenings of the film. But Cousins wanted bowling too, and a way to use the contagious weirdness of "The Big Lebowski" to do some good.

So when people pay their $20 to at­tend this year's "Viva Lebowski" on Friday, proceeds will be going to the United Way of Greater Portland.

The Maine Sui tcase Par ty mos t l y takes place in a hangar at the Por t land Internat ional Je tpo r t , bu t six lucky par ty -goers wil l make thei r way by pr ivate je t to Manhat tan for a t w o - n i g h t stay.

By AVERY YALE KAMILA StaffWriter

It's not every day that a party can vault you into the jet set. But the first-ever Maine Suitcase Party will do just that when it takes flight next Friday night.

Tickets are already selling fast to this red-carpet benefit for Camp Sunshine, which will take place in a dressed-up avia­tion hangar at the Portland International Jetport. In addition to the usual trappings of food, drinks and live music, the Maine Suitcase Party comes with an added twist.

About two hours into the event, two lucky party-goers will have their names drawn, and they and their guest of choice will quickly be on their way to New York City

"Meanwhile, we'll auction off two addi­tional seats" on the private jet, said Mark Richard, who works for Keller Williams Realty and is chairing the event commit­tee.

But the lucky winners had better be ready for takeoff. Like, right away.

The six attendees will be taken by golf

cart from the party to their cars to pick up their suitcases, and then will board a pri­vate Maine Aviation jet. After a 50-minute flight, they will touch down at Teterboro Airport outside of Manhattan, where a waiting limo will take them to the luxury Blakely Hotel in midtown Manhattan.

In addition to a two-night stay in the city, the jet setters will also receive $500 in spending money.

They'll return to Portland on Sunday in the same private jet with the same pilot.

Back at the party, the other guests will continue to enjoy desserts and cheese samplings while dancing to the music of the funk-disco band Motor Booty Affair. There will be silent auction items to bid on, as well as more raffle drawings for luxury "staycations" at the Migis Lodge on Sebago Lake and the Black Point Inn on Prout's Neck.

"All the proceeds are going to go to Camp Sunshine," Richard said.

The party committee hopes to raise about $75,000, which would allow the free camp for children with life-threatening

illnesses and their families to add another week of offerings, he said.

Richard said many of those buying tick­ets to the party face a unique dilemma: "You've got to make arrangements with a child-care provider either for three or four hours or three days."

But don't feel too bad. Such are the chal­lenges of those in the jet set.

out front is an open invita-tion for men of appetite tosatisfy their gastronomicaldesires: Wings, Nachos,Burgers, Tacos, Hummus,Salads, Fish & Chips.

One of each, please, buthold the hummus.

Alas, I was not so glut-tonous. I ordered a bowl ofhomemade chicken stew($5.95) and a plate of spicywings ($7.95). It was stilla ton of food, but seemedreasonable when I placedthe order. I felt hungry.

The stew satisfied me.It came with thick hunksof potatoes, celery andcarrots, corn kernels andsliced onions, with a slideof garlic bread for dipping.The chicken chunks weremassive. It was some-what zesty, creamy, hotand wholesome, and wassomething I would stronglyrecommend and orderagain.

I liked the chicken wingstoo. I'm not a big fan of su-per-spicy wings, and theseseemed about right to me.They were crispy and wellcooked, and not particularlygreasy.

I picked the bones dryand topped them off bydowning all the carrots andcelery. I had enough blue

cheese dressing for all thewings and the veggies. Theoperative words here are"tangy" and "succulent."Let's just say I spent a lotof time licking my fingers.Next time, I will try some

red meat. The Philly cheesesteak is one of the bestsandwiches in Portland,IMHO, and the classic Reu-ben looks delicious. A friendalways orders the fish andchips when we meet here.

The Downtown Loungehas a friendly, neighbor-hood feel. It's long, dark,narrow and full of charac-ter. The walls are adornedwith old baseball photos,which I appreciate. Onewall is lined with booths;the other is fronted by thebar, with a narrow walkwayin between.

It was packed early ona Monday evening, ow-ing perhaps to a show atthe State Theatre directlyacross the street that wasan hour away. I assumed alot of folks at the bar werethere for a pre-show warm-up.

My new buddy paid hisbill and scooted out before Icould finish my dinner andbeer. He might have beengoing to the show.

But I presumed he was onhis way home to get chewedout by his girlfriend.

In the past, "Viva Lebowski"has attracted 140 or so people,with about a quarter of thosecoming in costume. This year,the festivities will include anhour or two of bowling followedby trivia contests and costumecontests, with awards for "Best

Dude," "Best Walter" and otherassorted characters. Then,around 10:30 p.m., there will bea screening of the film.

There will also be drink spe-cials so you can drink like thecharacters in the movies. "Yes,there will be White Russians,"said Cousins.

And Cousins will be in his fullDude persona, complete withhis sweater and his hair.

It's not a wig, by the way. Hereally has Dude hair.

"I try to embody the essenceof the Dude as best as I can,"Cousins said.

Daniel and David Kleban said a federalstimulus program that had the SmallBusiness Administration guarantee 90percent of Maine Beer Co.'s start-uploans allowed them to get the businessstarted.

David Geary said Geary's has alsoinstalled a new bottling system, whichis more efficient, eliminates waste andimproves the quality of the beer.

But he did not specifically tie that inwith the accelerated-depreciation pro-gram. He was more interested in an ex-cise tax bill that has yet to be approved.

"Let me tell you what the excise tax billwould do for me," Geary said. "It wouldallow me to hire a sales representativefor (areas outside New England), andthat would allow me to sell more beer andhire more people here."

"I'm on it," Collins replied immediately- meaning that she is a co-sponsor of thelegislation.

Porteous said later that the Brewer'sEmployment and Excise Relief Act wouldlower the federal excise tax for smallbreweries from $7 to $3.50 per barrel forthe first 60,000 barrels of beer brewedeach year, and from $18 to $16 for every

barrel thereafter, up to 2 million barrels.This would save breweries up to $45 mil-lion a year, he said.

While Collins was paying close attentionto the business and legislative aspects

of the breweries, it was also obvious thatshe likes beer.

"I especially like drinking beer sum-mers at my camp," she said, adding thatshe also recommends Maine beers to all

the establishments she can in Washing-ton, D.C.

Collins seemed most taken during thetour when - despite wearing high-heeledshoes - she climbed some grated steps tolook down at the foam in the open brew-ing tanks at Geary's.

She drank parts of three beers duringher tour, and seemed to enjoy all of them- even though they were all differentstyles.

She had a 4-ounce pour of AllagashWhite before she started that part of thetour. Before leaving Allagash, she hadabout 3 ounces of Allagash Coolship Red,a spontaneously fermented ale that isaged for about four months on fresh, lo-cal raspberries - a wonderfully complexbeer.

At Maine Beer Co., Collins had a smallglass of Peeper, the company's flagshippale ale, which consistently wins highratings.

At Geary's, David Geary gave Collins afull pint glass of his Autumn Ale, a reallygood brown ale. That is the one glass thatshe did not finish.

But when Geary offered to take it back,saying she didn't have drink it all, Collinssaid: "I'll keep it a little bit longer."
