- Brian Howard introduces us to Tom Culton, proprietor of Lancaster County's Culton Organics, who grows a staggering 63 varieties of garlic »»
Sun., Nov. 8, 2 p.m., free, Painted Bride, 230 Vine St., 267-402-2055, firstpersonarts.org.
According to Vicki Solot, executive director of First Person Arts, Hartman will try calling in from prison to answer audience questions on Sunday, but if the jail's on lockdown, it may not work.
I started working on writing songs last summer, here in New York, in the middle of the hottest month. I was in a pretty bad state emotionally, right in the middle of a breakup. The initial idea around the album came about in New York, but the good parts, the inspirational parts, happened later, when I was living in Paris — both cities were really important to the album.
Sun., Nov. 8, 2-10 p.m., free, begins at Paddy Whacks, 150 South St., phillysnuggiecrawl.com.
On the eighth day, God created the Snuggie. Nah, just playing — the Slanket came first.
Loose Canon
Great journalism is no longer profitable.
As creditors of the bankrupt Inquirer and Daily News
sharpen their knives, our dailies could be decimated. Should that
happen, the government and foundations should jump in and pump
up public media.
Feedback
What You Say
"Why does the City Paper have such a zealous penchant for using excrement in both its column titles and its pieces?"
Tom Culton, with a reading from the gospel of garlic.
The garlic you're likely most familiar with, the stuff in the netted
bags at Acme, is called, fittingly and blandly, California White. It
became the industry standard thanks to its uniform bulb size and
resistance to disease, says Culton. It's fine — but it's far from the
last pungent word on the topic.
BOOK REVIEW: Anita Chu's Field Guide to Candy
The author breaks candy down into digestible categories ("chocolate,"
"sugary sweet," "creamy/sticky/chewy, etc."), with an easy-to-reference
full-color photo key neatly wedged in the middle of the book, like the
nut part of a Jordan Almond.

Displaced by Hurricane Katrina, EgoPo lets Beckett be their guide to Philly greatness.
"I've been asked many times if I thought Beckett would approve of our version of Endgame,"
says Savadove about the late playwright's notorious legal actions
against productions that strayed from his vision. "From my knowledge of
other productions, his own direction of his plays, and his approval of
our other productions of his work, I think that he would be very
pleased that we are able to speak to an American audience without
changing a single word or stage direction."

The book explores the unique experience of growing up black and gay
below the Mason-Dixon and suggests the Southern mind-set may be broader
than some think.
Agenda Lead
Human guinea pig A.J. Jacobs dishes on why he goes to extremes.
Jacobs tries to understand the world by immersing himself in
extraordinary circumstances. For his latest, that meant pretending to be his child's female nanny looking for online romance,
outsourcing his daily errands to women in India, and attempting to
persuade the Sex in the City actresses to help him propose to his long-suffering companion.

The Building Wanted Blood
You could call it a bad omen that the roof blew off the five-month-old
Spectrum during the Ice Capades in 1968, but I think the arena was just
asserting itself.
The Boss, The Who, Bowie, U2 ...
Hexy, Laettner, Moses, Wilt ...
More (in)famous characters who lit up the Spectrum.
Is a draconian law forcing innocent men out of the country?
Over the last 13 years, the federal government has deported more
than 1 million immigrants following criminal convictions — a number
that has escalated dramatically in the last decade. But what if the men are innocent, and the law doesn't care?
Man Overboard!
Forget the public option — gimme a SEPTA plan.
Why is it, I wonder, that one union can be out there clamoring to keep
their amazingly generous health care terms while another, like the
scrappy Taxi Workers Alliance, barely has a pot to piss in?
Amorosi on the news, nightlife, gossip and bitchiness beats.
Beans says Hova ratted him out and put money over friendship. He's
nearly crying by track's end. Can't help wonder if those near-tears
ain't about more than 12 bars.
I started working on writing songs last summer, here in New York, in
