FOOD & DRINK // BREWMASTER
BY STEVE LONSWAY
This month’s beer report was derived
from a recent purchase at our local beer
outlet. The brew team of Stone Arch Brew
House are hopheads at heart so we wanted
to focus on more of a malty brew for this
article.
To get off our normally beaten path a
bit, we chose to go with a Belgian-style that
accents the maltiness of the brew. Another
reason this was purchased is that every
year, to celebrate our anniversary, we brew
a Grand Cru. Ours is named Inaugural
Brew Grand Cru and when we release it
each year on January 11th, we bring out
samples from our previous batches. We
offer lateral tastings of the Grand Cru
and this past month we offered four years
worth. It is astonishing the changes that
transpire during the years of cold storage.
It really adds complexity to an already very
complex beer and really rounds out the
smoothness. So with the Inaugural Brew
Grand Cru fresh on our minds, we chose
to report on Ale Asylum’s Mercy Grand
Cru.
The blue, black and white label of the
Mercy made the purchasing decision a bit
easier. Three very unique, demonic figures
standing as if on guard with arms crossed
almost daring you to buy it. Above their
confident heads is a brief description of the
beer that resides within. A nice touch for
those who may not be all that familiar with
the Grand Cru style.
As we poured the long neck bottles
into our snifters (which is the glassware
we would recommend for this style), very
little head appeared on the surface. The
carbonation is evident in taste but not so
much in its appearance. As we worked our
ways through the samples, there was little
evidence of lacing.
The appearance was pleasant in the
glass. Deep mahogany amber with off-
white, almost khaki colored head.
In the nose of the Mercy Grand Cru,
several very distinctive notes were recorded.
We detected plum, dates, fig, banana,
clove, cherry, brown sugar, dark fruits, malt
and strong
B e l g i a n
yeast tones.
As a Grand
Cru style
d i c t a t e s ,
complexity
in the nose
is a must and
Ale Asylum
did not leave
us hanging.
The fla-
vors detected
by our team
were even
more com-
plex than
t h e n o s e
produced.
The same
dark fruits,
fig, clove,
and cherry
tones came through in the flavor as well as
red wine, spiced fruit, fusel alcohol, candy
sugar, caramel, and intense fruitiness.
The Mercy Grand Cru finishes with an
obvious warming sensation, very tart and
a little on the sharp side. As time passes, a
whisky smooth finish was experienced, and
a bit of a CO2 prickle at the very end.
Food pairings for this beer should start
with dark fruits, aged cheddar cheese, brie
or better yet, bleu cheese. A beef stew or
shepherds pie would certainly work as well
as a rich cheesecake for the dessert aspect.
Head brewer Craig personally paired it
with that days Stone Cellar lunch special;
Uphoff Farms ham and brick cheese on a
pretzel roll, and he claimed it was destiny.
A good music pairing would most likely be
an old 90’s jazz band with sharp horns on
vinyl.
On to the makers; Ale Asylum. Housed
at 2002 Pankratz Street in Madison, Wis-
consin you will find the makers of the
Mercy. With an industrial motif you can
enjoy their tasting room and unique menu
items that focus a bit more on simplicity
and aggressive flavors. The menu is a bit
limited, but all items come with a sug-
gested beer pairing. They will fill growlers
as well as sell their six packs and have a
decent array of Ale Asylum gear available
for purchase as well. They do offer tours
every Sunday on the hour between noon
and 5:00 p.m.
Founded in 2005, Ale Asylum outgrew
their original facility and has since moved
into a 45,000 square foot building on Pan-
kratz Street at a cost of $8 million. With
the goal of going statewide in distribution
they are experiencing crazy growth as many
other craft brewers around the country
are experiencing. With their new facility,
larger tanks and super-fast bottler, they
are set for success. Of course it helps they
make awesome brews and have captivated
their customer base, or “inmates” as they
are called.
FINAL WORD: Have Mercy! You
will not regret that decision.

FOOD & DRINK // A’BRAVO
BY PATRICK MARES
We blew into A Bravo’ on a cold and
blustery winter night. The atmosphere in
the establishment was a nice counterbal-
ance to the wind outside. While the
weather may have kept some folks home,
there were a few of we hearty souls provid-
ing a nice background buzz.
As a dangerously smooth spiced hot
rum warmed us (and was the best use of
cinnamon I’ve found in recent memory)
July Beaudwin, co-owner and hands-on
manager for the restaurant, provided a his-
tory lesson.
“A Bravo’ was originally located in
the old Larson Canning Factory office,”
Beaudwin said. But after seven years, the
promised upgrade of the space never hap-
pened.”
Originally, July had partnered with her
sister Greta, but after the move, Mary Faye
and Dana Demara joined the team.
Fay in particular brings a skill set not
always present in a cookery, balancing
the books and the paying of finances and
vendors.
“When we started, A’ Bravo had
only nine tables,” Fay said “now we
have thirty. That’s a big step up. It’s
full service lunch and dinner, plus an
incredible Sunday brunch, and we
have a full bar.”
The staff has input as well.
“We invite all who work for us
to offer their opinions,” July said “to
help decide the season’s upcoming
recipes and menu items. We think
it’s a good idea to get
everyone’s thoughts. We’ll
brainstorm together, and
we’re all really proud of that.
Plus, it’s fun, and afterward,
everyone feels fat because we
eat a lot of what might get on
the final menu. Hey, we have
to taste it to know what we’re
talking about with our custom-
ers...right?” (laugh)
Seared Ahi Tuna
The seared Ahi picked up more of the
smokey grilled flavor than I’d typically
associate with this dish. Solid, and differ-
ent from the pack, its no wonder this is a
staple.
Sesame encrusted ahi tuna over jas-
mine rice, spicy spinach, with a sesame
vinaigrette & spicy peanuts & almonds.
Suggested wine: Ponzi Pinot Gris
Lobster Mac & Cheese - The Best Ever
This lobster pasta was just perfectly
but-
tery, complementing
the prominent chunks of lobster within.
An incredibly creamy blend of four gour-
met cheeses and lobster pieces, served
piping hot with truffle toast on the side.
Bianca Pizza
Cutting out the tomatoes is a bold step
for pizza. Once again, more savory than its
traditional cousin with red sauce.
Grilled flatbread topped with a mild
garlic cream sauce, mozzarella, prosciutto,
fresh basil chiffonade and finished with a
drizzle of truffle oil, a sprinkle of panko,
then baked.

The annual Deck the Halls holiday
experience at the Oshkosh Public Museum
has truly become a community event.
In staying true to its mission, the
Museum provided free admission to 526
children under age 18 during this exhibi-
tion and over 1,500 adults took advantage
of the reduced admission rate. In addition,
over 200 local students and caregivers vis-
ited as part of a group field trip.
Holiday decorations reminiscent of
the times filled the historic Sawyer home
from November to January, and the life-
size Christmas Village exhibit windows
showcased a collection of toys on loan from
volunteers and community members.
The 2016 Christmas Village exhibit
theme is “miniature holiday trees,” and
once again the Museum is reaching out to
the community to help decorate the display
cases. Contact Curator Debra Daubert
at 920-236-5767 or email ddaubert@
ci.oshkosh.wi.us for more information if
you are interested in donating a decorated
tree.
An exhibition opening premier for Be
the Dinosaur™ will be held on Monday,
February 1. The Museum will be open from
10 am to 4:30 pm for this special event,
and Joseph E. Peterson, Ph.D., Assistant
Professor of Geology at UW-Oshkosh, will
present “Behaviors of Dinosaurs” starting
at 3 pm.
Dr. Peterson has been studying various
injuries in Cretaceous dinosaurs over the
last ten years. He will discuss his research
on these injuries, or “paleopathologies,”
and how they can provide insight into the
paleobiology and behaviors of dinosaurs.
The lecture is free with general admission
and open to the public. Light refreshments
will be served. Pre-registration is requested
by contacting Karla Szekeres at 920-236-
5763 or email kszekeres@ci.oshkosh.wi.us.
Be the Dinosaur™ is a groundbreaking
fusion of state-of-the-art video game tech-
nology and traditional exhibits featuring
full-size dinosaur bones, a paleontology
field station, a Safari Jeep and much more.
Unleash your wild side and experience the
largest and most complex restoration of an
extinct ecosystem ever created. The exhibit
will be on view until May 16.
Regular hours at the Oshkosh Public
Museum, 1331 Algoma Boulevard, are
Tuesday-Saturday from 10 am−4:30 pm
and Sunday from 1 pm−4:30 pm. For more

ENTERTAINMENT // DOBIE MAXWELL
BY DOBIE MAXWELL
There comes a point when I think it’s
acceptable to ask just how much technol-
ogy do we really need? I think that point
is now. I can’t speak for anyone else, but
I’ve been deeply over my head with all of it
for several years now. Five year old kids can
run circles around me, and I know it.
Email was pretty cool, I must admit. I
think I bought my first computer in 1996
or right around there, and it was a desktop
behemoth somewhat akin to the old wood
grain TVs our grandparents had. I had a
dial up AOL connection and I thought I
was George Jetson. The future had arrived.
I reconnected with old friends online,
and made new ones. I was fine with that
level of business and had it not gone any
further I would be a happy man today. I
was never into video games or at the cut-
ting edge of needing to have the latest
gadgets, and that’s where I got trampled by
the herd.
Cell phones were another hurdle. I
scratched and clawed against getting one
for years, as I just couldn’t see a practical
need to carry a phone with me for any
other reason than my car breaking down.
With my luck with cars I should have been
one of the very first on the planet to have
one.
I finally relented around the year 2000
and signed up for a cell phone when I was
working in radio in Salt Lake City. The sta-
tion had a group discount plan, and I still
remember joking on air about how stupid I
thought it was for everyone to have to haul
them around like modern walkie talkies.
I found nothing wrong whatsoever
with how the old system was with a phone
at home, and others located at strategic
locations that could be used by anyone
who needed them. Why would we all need
to carry our own? Well, I guess none of us
actually need to, but it sure has caught our
fancy.
Who walking the earth in the 21st
Century could imagine life without a cell
phone? I left mine at home the other day
and needed to call someone, and actually
tried to find a pay phone. Good luck with
that search. I might as well look for two,
and if I’d happen to find them I’ll bet
Jimmy Hoffa will be talking to Amelia
Earhart. I am officially a member of the
last dinosaur generation.
That’s funny to me, as my grandparents
used to look at me as Mr. Spoiled Brat
with all the new technology they never
had – including indoor plumbing and run-
ning water. I heard about all their struggles
growing up, ranging from milking cows to
cutting wood for heat, and I’d laugh about
it.
Now everyone is laughing at me. I
was at the cell phone store the other day
because my, ‘what is supposed to be a smart
phone,’ wasn’t functioning properly. It
turns out the phone was totally fine, rather
I was the moron for not knowing how to
program it.
Phone - smart. Owner - not. How
ironic.
The latest obstacle I’ve been fighting is
Twitter. Everyone seems to be on it, but I
can’t for the life of me see why. Short blasts
of meaningless tripe from Ashton Kutcher
or Nicki Minaj aren’t a priority in my life,
but neither was all the other stuff I now
couldn’t live without.
I think I need to be very careful before
I totally poo poo the idea, but I’m too busy
with Facebook and Linkedin, and trying to
keep track of everything else I’m not able
to keep under control. Life has passed me
by.

‘TWITTER SHMITTER’
Unique Autobiography of Comedian/
Radio Personality Features Bad Luck,
Bikers and a Childhood Best Friend Who
Committed TWO Bank Robberies. No
Joke!
Whatever “normal” is, long time
nationally touring comedian Dobie Max-
well isn’t it. His life is an amazing story of
constant turmoil. Dobie has an incredible
talent for being in the proverbial “wrong
place at the wrong time”…ALL the time
- which is fascinating and funny if it isn’t
YOU.
Some people get a rough start in life,
but Dobie’s start takes the cake, and then
some. Born to a drug-abusing mother and,
“Outlaws” motorcycle gang member father
in Milwaukee, he was estranged from two
siblings and raised by his paternal grand-
parents from five months old who divorced
when he was 11. By the time he finished
high school all Dobie had was his best
friend.
The two became closer than their actual
blood brothers, and were each other’s
trusted “go to” surrogate family support-
ing each other through thick and thin
including Dobie’s early years as a standup
comedian, local radio personality and pro
wrestling promoter. They were inseparable.
Dobie was fired from his radio dream
job, and called his friend to arrange a cross
country road trip to Las Vegas to cheer
them both up. His friend had lost his job
as head of security at a local bank, and
before their trip he decided to ROB that
same bank – and stash the money in the
trunk of a rental car they used for their
trip. Oddly enough, he never told Dobie
until almost a year later.
The FBI suspected his friend, but
could never prove it. Dobie was sworn to
secrecy because if he talked he would be an
unwitting accomplice. Flush with the thrill
of getting away with it, his pal robbed the
very same bank AGAIN - this time in a
Gorilla Gram outfit. Who would possibly
rob a bank in such a wacky manner? Why,
a comedian of course! The FBI thought
that it was Dobie.
Dobie was faced with a horrible choice;
turn in his best friend or go to federal
prison for a crime he did not commit. Like
it or not – and he did not - Dobie became
the “Monkey in the Middle.”
“Monkey in the Middle” has every-
thing from heartache to high adventure, to
all out hilarity. The publisher is Eckhartz
Press (www.eckhartzpress.com) and the
official date of release is Monday March
14th, 2016 – Dobie’s birthday. There will
also be a live standup comedy show along
with a reading at Zanies Comedy Club
at 1548 North Wells Street in Chicago.

ENTERTAINMENT // THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
There is a rich treasure trove of original
music being created in the Fox Cities and
some of it fits into pre-existing categories
like rock, jazz, country, pop, alt-rock, alt-
country, etc.
Then there is Miss Molly.
The Menasha-based duo, comprised of
keyboardist Molly Conrad and guitarist
Michael Theroux, incorporates so many
different and appealing elements into their
music that it fits in only one category:
outstanding.
Just a little more than two years after
the successful release of their debut album,
“Fly Tonight,” Conrad and Theroux are in
the studio putting the finishing touches on
“Snow,” which is targeted for a mid-March
release. It is a CD that developed organi-
cally into a concept album.
“We did not set out to do a concept
album,” Conrad said, “but as the songs
started coming together, we noticed that
they fit together and had a flow. We then
wrote an intro, an outro and a number
of instrumental passages that connect the
songs together.”
“The album is not just a bunch of songs
thrown together in random order,” Ther-
oux added. “I was listening to “Animals”
by Pink Floyd when we started – it has
a concept aspect to it – and our concept
started to emerge as we were recording. We
thought it would be cool to tie the songs
together.”
In addition to jazz, folk, rock, Irish and
Celtic influences, the duo cite Bruce Horn-
sby, Steve Winwood, Sarah MacLachlin,
Tory Amos, Amy Winehouse, and Willy
Porter as influences on the songwriting as
well as ethnic influences from the British
Isles, Spain, India and Africa.
The songwriting process is a collabora-
tive effort.
Conrad writes most of the melodies
and lyrics for the original songs.
“I start with piano, find chords that I
like, and the melody comes next,” she said.
“The lyrics usually flow when the melody
has been worked out.”
Theroux writes the guitar parts and
vocal harmonies as well as creating the
intros and outros, bridges and any instru-
mental passages the song might need,
much of which is initially improvised and
later worked into a solo that fits the song.
Performing as a duo developed organi-
cally as well. In 2011, Conrad wrote a song
called “Down.” Theroux heard her practic-
ing it, and joined in on guitar.
“It worked really well, so we wrote a few
more and formed “Miss Molly,” Conrad
said. “Michael was really into playing Irish
music at the time so we worked on several
traditional Irish tunes for our repertoire,
and this helped us land our first gig on St.
Patrick’s Day at Cannova’s.”
They’ve been playing as ‘Miss Molly’
for about four years now.
“Since that first show on St. Patrick’s
Day 2012 at Cannova’s in Neenah,” she
continued. “We were both playing music at
the time, but just not together. We started
messing around with some original songs
and found out we really clicked musically,
so we quit what we were doing and joined
forces. The rest is history. We still play
every other Sunday at Cannova’s.”
Conrad is originally from Appleton.
She was listening to music, taking piano
lessons and writing songs at nine years old.
“Before I got my first guitar at 10, I
was strumming on a badminton racket
and singing,” she said. “My friends and
I wrote songs together on the weekends
for fun. Our inspirations were ABBA and
Elton John as well as a lot of 80’s music
and alternative stuff. I was always in choir
and jazz vocal groups in college.”
A graduate of Appleton West, she
studied briefly at UW-Fox Valley and
the Minneapolis
College of Art and
Design before get-
ting a degree in Art
Education from the University of Min-
nesota. She played music in the folk scene
at the Uptown Bar, The Bryant Lake Bowl,
7th St. Entry and local coffee shops.
Both Conrad and Theroux teach music
in the Fox Cities area. She teaches piano
and composition at their studio in Mena-
sha while he teaches guitar, bass and several
other stringed and percussive instruments
at Island Music in Neenah.
Theroux grew up in Grand Forks,
North Dakota. He got his first guitar at
12 years old, inspired after attending a
Christopher Parkening concert with his
mother. He studied classical guitar for a
short time, but was really enamored with
70’s prog rock bands like Yes and ELP,
“with a large helping of the Stones and the
Beatles.” While in high school, he went
to the public library and discovered the
records of old blues masters like Son House
and Robert Johnson and dedicated much
of his playing to learning the blues.
He joined the Marines right after
high school and landed in California four
years later. While in Northern California,
Michael began studying Celtic, Middle
Eastern, and Indian Classical music - those
influences can be heard in much of his solo
playing.
A self-taught computer programmer,
he got a “lucrative offer” to do IT work in
Minneapolis and moved there on 2000.
Six years later, a job as a technical writer
for Plexus brought him to the Fox Cities.
He also began playing guitar in Unity The
Band at the time.
In addition to being a musician,
teacher, IT consultant, artist and researcher
who is going to school online to become
a certified homeopath, Theroux is also an
author whose new book, “Meetings With
Remarkable Kooks,” will be published very
soon. One of his previous books, “Rhyth-
mic Formative Forces of Music” is available
free at his web site, michaeltheroux.com.
In addition to releasing “Snow,” their
long-term objectives are straight forward.
“We want to keep writing, playing, and
performing music together,” Conrad said.
“We want to be an inspiration for other
musicians to write their own music and
share it with others.”

ENTERTAINMENT // DRACULA
BY PATRICK MARES
On a Tuesday night, February 2nd
L.A. Theaterworks will be bringing a radio
play rendition of Brahm Stoker’s Dracula
to the Weidner Center. Much like the
old-is-new growth in podcast audio fiction,
L.A. Theaterworks brings literary audio
to millions of listeners. Their productions
are broadcast across the English speaking
world, and even play daily on the radio in
Beijing China.
We asked Associate Producer Anna
Lyse Erikson what separates a L.A. The-
aterworks’ productions from a traditional
play.
“It’s like being backstage at a radio
broadcast,” Erikson said “for instance the
sound of Dracula biting someone’s neck is
done by an actor taking a wedge of iceberg
lettuce and crunching it in his hands,
which is kinda fun. There are a lot of
sound effects which are done by the other
actors, doors opening and closing, lots of
things.”
She said that actors in their radio plays
also address the audience directly.
“Rather than scene partners kind of
facing each other and sharing the scene
with one another,” Erikson said “the audi-
ence, being this fourth wall, they see this
interaction as the actors are actually facing
the crowd and interacting with them as
much as with their scene partners.”
The live audience adds an additional
element to a radio play: visual.
There are of course a full set and actors
garbed in costume. Behind the action is a
screen, where animated drawings by Sean
Cawelti, their video designer, help bring
the play to life.
“There is a set and video projection
projected on a screen behind the actors,”
Erikson said. “Those are animated draw-
ings that move throughout the piece creat-
ing a really cool setting for it.”
Often the troupe will record one ver-
sion of the show for distribution and offer
another version tweaked for local audi-
ences. Since in this case the recorded tour
had been captured prior to this season, the
cast has been quite free to customize the
showings for their live audiences.
This production is a mix of old and
new.
“We chose Dracula because we wanted
to do something that was appealing to
popular culture,” Erikson said “and there’s
so much being done about zombies and
vampires right now. We choose our tours,
sometimes based on their social signifi-
cance, and sometimes on their entertain-
ment value, in
the thought that
this would be an
entertaining and
fun piece for the
audiences.”
S h e s a i d
that while the
costumes would
be period, or
at least an L.A.
Theaterworks
riff on that style:
the animations,
drawings of bats
and wolves, and
things that are
very important
to the story, are
attuned, not
to historical
accuracy, but
more modern
sensibilities.
While no one
is pulling out a
cell phone on
stage, the company is more interested in
presenting a truly creepy experience than
historical minutia.
The production itself runs 90 minutes
with no intermission.
“Which means like any
video or stage production,”
Erikson said “quite a bit
had to be cut out of the
book. The adaptation by
Charles Morey focuses on
Dr. Helsing. We discovered
a great way of telling the
story, because Dr. Van Hels-
ing’s journals are really what
shape the piece. And in a lot
of ways we found that he is
really the main character as
much as Dracula.”
L.A. Theaterworks just
celebrated its 40th anniver-
sary last year. Their founding
producer initially started out
with an organization called
Artists in Prison. Over the
years
it changed, evolving into a traditional the-
ater company and then transitioning the
radio plays they do now.
“We started recording plays for radio in
the mid 80s,” Erikson said. “There wasn’t
really another American company doing
that at the time.”
Erikson herself has been with the group
for five years, managing the casting, artistic
hiring, play selections, rights acquisitions,
and overall live production for L.A. The-
atreworks’ live and in-studio recordings
and tours.
L.A.’s recent productions have included
“In the Heat of the Night,” “The Gradu-
ate,” and Jane Austin’s “Pride and Preju-
dice,” but Erikson said there’s something
special about Bram Stoker’s masterpiece.
“With the undead so in the public
zeitgeist, we thought that this would be
an entertaining and fun piece for the audi-
ences of our tour.”

Mikes Chamber Story
BY GEORGE HALAS
”Loving you is lonely work. I could use a
friend.”
For months, Trevor Jarvis sat with this
line before approaching Appleton native
Hillary Reynolds to help develop the song
into a duet. Now, a year later, Peridot has
released “Lonely Work” as their first single
with 91.1 The Avenue.
Peridot is a re-imagining of the Hillary
Reynolds Band, keeping Reynolds and
Jarvis from the HRB lineup along with
guitarist Marton Bisits.
“Over the last year, Hillary and I
had been writing all of this new material
together, and it just started to feel different
to us,” Jarvis said. “The process became
even more collaborative, my voice started
playing a bigger role along with hers, and
we reached a point where the music just
didn’t fit the band name anymore. Peri-
dot’s music is far more focused on what we
feel we’re best at which is folk music driven
by strong melodies and substantive lyrics.”
Rob Moore, vice-president of program-
ing of 91.1 The Avenue, is already a fan.
“The response we receive to Hillary and
Trevor’s music has always been notewor-
thy,” Moore said. “That’s why we are so
excited about Peridot. Sometimes new art-
ists come along who create an immediate
bond with the audience because the music
is at once both original and engaging. This
is true of Hillary’s recorded music as well
as her live performances. The fact that she
comes from our neck of the woods makes
it even more special.”
Lonely Work is accompanied by
a music video with a simple concept,
designed to marry with the song itself.
“The music video was filmed among
friends, champagne, and a small crew from
21summit Productions in Boston,” Reyn-
olds said. “We hatched the song in Trevor’s
apartment and it felt like the right place to
tell the story.”
Peridot will finish recording their
upcoming EP this winter and plan to visit
Wisconsin this spring for a concert mark-
ing its release.

ENTERTAINMENT // POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
Sure it would be possible to grab four
equally diverse musical acts based in Mil-
waukee, but the fact they all have recently
released albums demonstrates the ongoing
vitality of folks who have been at it for
decades. If the quote/unquote music biz
has become as harsh and cold as this Wis-
consin winter, check out these releases and
thaw your ears.
Drawing from Bluegrass, Celtic, folk,
Old Timey and all manner of acoustic
music, Frogwater is what happens when
you dedicate your life to making music.
Susan and John Nicholson have been
at it since 1997. The back cover image
of their recent cd Wide Rivers depicts an
ancient Martin acoustic hanging alongside
a fiddle, sporting a pair of fedoras. And
that image sums it up.
Capable of playing nearly any stringed
instrument, the Nicholson’s conjure land-
scapes of emotion and hint at stories with
their playing. Propulsive jigs come alive
like taut spider webs. This is music from
and for the ages. Susan’s bouncing pastoral
fiddle is supported by John’s sturdy rhythm
guitar. He returns the favor as his sprightly
plucking gets pushed by her cascading
bowed melodies to the drone of Sheila
Larkin’s pump organ. Elsewhere, “The
Travelogue Set” conjures Orson Welles’
Harry Lime moving through the streets of
Old Vienna.
If Frogwater’s music can be described as
pre-electricity, then let’s call Trolley post-
British Invasion.
Since the mid ‘90s the Milwaukee
quartet has trafficked in all manner of pop,
much of it power. With Caught in the
Darkness they spread their wings.
While still retaining that sense of mod
brashness, big hooks and fearless jangle,
the three songwriters continue to grow.
The wise guy listener might play “guess
the influence,” pointing to an Only Ones
reference or suggesting the royalties for a
certain bridge be addressed to Mr. Arthur
Lee. Yet all this does is prove these guys did
their homework.
The stew they come up with results in
an updated vibe utilizing vintage keyboard
sounds, Paul Wall and Mike Mike Perotto’s
ringing guitars and Terry Hackbarth’s
driving bass. Yet the glue that holds it all
together is John Phillip’s nuanced drum-
ming, setting the mood throughout.
The crackerjacks here is the final cut
“Take My Love,” a seemingly nice psy-
chedelic number that snakes its way down
a wormhole, turning itself inside out.
Then shedding its skin.This kind of sonic
monkey business suggests a meeting where
the Zombies and an undamaged Syd Barret
might have found audio verity common
ground. In this one tune, Trolley leapfrogs
over their days a pop hatchlings.
Xposed Foreheads, on the other hand
weren’t hatched, so much as grown in test
tubes. If you were lucky enough to survive
the heyday of MTV, welcome to your
nightmare.
Mark G.E., one-time commander
of cable-access television icon Joy Farm,
leads Xposed Foreheads’ social satire which
points back to the likes of DEVO, Oingo
Boingo and Kraftwerk. The irony here is
Joy Farm’s old lack of budget charm has
zoomed into the future where this band
can record using studio technology and
virtual reproduction of keyboards that
would have cost a small fortune back in the
day.
Not that it makes any difference to this
quintet of mischief makers. All sacred cows
are fair game on Choose To Be Human.
Social media, handheld devices, informa-
tion at our finger tips? Leave it to these
beavers to write a song called “I’m Not
Social,” whose lyrics are a laundry list of
how young moderns define social.
Local veterans Bob Jorin, Kelp Cholfs,
Carter Hunnicutt and Andy Stillin form
the nucleus of the band. Special guests
include ringers James Chance and Blaine
Reninger, along with Theresa Ala Mode
from Joy Farm. Listen at your own risk and
be prepared to think.
On Distant Planet Dr. Chow’s Love
Medicine writes Chapter Three in the
band’s history. Once characterized as “The
Rolling Stones fronted by Joe Cocker on
‘shrooms covering Frank Zappa,” these
guys prove to be an ageless express of punk/
garage energy. (Like the Trolley cd, this one
was also mastered by Neenah native Justin
Perkins at his Mystery Room Mastering
studio.)
Fronted by the antic Frank Chandek,
the band is anchored by the
rhythm section of drummer
Dan Glaser and bassist Joe
Polizzi. The low key fireworks
are provided by guitarists Paul
“The Fly” Lawson and Brian
Wensing, who may offhandedly
toss off shards of rockabilly
riffage, or a psychedelic light-
ning bolt with less than the
shrug of a shoulder.
With titles like the title cut
“61 Chevy,” and “Green Slime,”
Chow provides soundtracks to the best
B-movies you have never seen.

Southside Johnny and the Asbury
Jukes have been rockin’ the Jersey Shore
music scene since the mid-‘70s. Although
band members have come and gone, their
horn-backed brand of soul-stirring rock ‘n’
roll, blues, and R & B is still going strong.
There is a huge following of diehard Jukes
fans that thrives on the energetic, feel-good
party atmosphere that comes out at all of
their shows.
Front man/vocalist “Southside” Johnny
Lyon is often referred to as the Godfather
of the New Jersey Sound. Jon Bon Jovi has
said that Southside was his greatest influ-
ence and his reason for singing.
Lyon and “Little” Steven Van Zandt co-
founded Southside Johnny and the Asbury
Jukes in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The two
became fast friends with Bruce Springsteen
and the three of them take turns playing in
each other’s bands even today. Springsteen
wrote a number of Southside Johnny’s best
loved songs for him, including “Talk to
Me” and “The Fever.” Van Zandt’s com-
position, “I Don’t Want To Go Home” is
Southside’s signature song.
The Jukes released a live 2011 CD
Men Without Women: Live 7-2-11, which
was recorded at the famed Stone Pony
in Asbury Park. It featured covers of Van
Zandt’s original 1982 album of the same
name that he released with his Disciples
of Soul. During the performance record-
ing, Little Steven makes a “surprise” guest
appearance. Lyon came up with the idea
for the band’s first new studio CD of all
original material in five years, SOUL-
TIME! (2015), while shopping in a giant
superstore. Read on for more about that
story.
Southside Johnny and the Asbury
Jukes features Southside Johnny Lyon on
lead vocals and harmonica, Jeff Kazee on
keyboards and vocals, Glenn Alexander on
guitar, bassist John Conte, Chris Anderson
on trumpet, John Isley on saxophone,
Neal Pawley on trombone, and drummer
Tom Seguso. The band is currently touring
throughout the U.S. and overseas.
Southside recently called me from Port
Arthur, Texas.
Jane Spietz: When you were a child,
your parents exposed you early on to blues
and jazz, and took you to many concerts.
You have said that you thought all parents
had that approach. What influence did
those early experiences have on you musi-
cally?
John Lyon: It was great to be in a house
full of music. I’d come home to the sounds
of Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Count
Basie. My parents liked listening to black
music. They were fans of Big Joe Turner,
T-Bone Walker, Wynonie Harris – all of
the blues shouters. I thought all parents
did that. My parents were a little strange!
(Laughs) It also made us kids aware that
there were other cultures. What I took
away from it is that it is fun to make music,
and not a desperate attempt to make a
statement or get a point across.
JS: As a teenager, did you foresee that
you would someday have a career in music?
JL: At the time, I didn’t believe that.
Then I met Garry Tallent in high school
when we were 15 years old. Garry said that
he was going to be a musician. He later
became Bruce Springsteen’s bass player.
After Garry said that, I became acquainted
with Steve Van Zandt, Bruce and some
other guys who felt the same way. I got the
idea that if they were going to try get into
music, I was going to give it a try too.
JS: How did you first meet up with
Bruce Springsteen?
JL: Every day I used to walk over to
a club called the Upstage Club in Asbury
Park where I lived. Because there was no
alcohol served, they were open until 5 AM.
So I would stay all night long. Musicians
from all over would come here. It was one
big jam session, and we’d play blues. A
long-haired guy with a gold Les Paul was
playing there one day. He was singing a
hilarious song about how when he went
to Catholic school the nuns taught him
the blues. He was amazing. Playing great
guitar. I was thinking, ‘who IS this guy?’
Later on I walked up to Bruce to tell him
how great I thought it was. We ended up
becoming good friends. So Bruce, Steven,
the other guys and I worked on learning
different types of music and how to play
well together. It was like our college. It was
a great time. When I was singing onstage,
I could actually get girls to look at me!
(Laughs) We were paid $15 each.
JS: I was interested to learn about the
special Monopoly games that you, Steven
and Bruce used to play. You even had a
‘riot card’ to represent the1970 Asbury
Park race riots and a ‘Chief McCarthy’
go-to-jail-twice card for the Middletown,
N.J. police chief who was responsible for
the breakup of some of Bruce’s shows back
then.
JL: Yeah, we played many games of
cutthroat Monopoly. Bruce used to win
regularly cuz he would sell us his mom’s
homemade cookies for Monopoly money!
(Laughs)
JS: You all have been members of each
other’s bands throughout the years. How
do you feel you have influenced each other
musically?
JL: Bruce, Steven, and I have learned
from each other’s records and from per-
forming together. We’re always there for
each other and have a great time.
JS: Jon Bon Jovi said you were his
greatest influence from early on, and that
you’re his reason for singing.
JL: I don’t want the blame for that!
(Laughs) Seriously, Jon’s too kind. He’s
been a good friend for a long time. He
worked with me on my side project, The
Poor Fools. We did an acoustic album,
Songs From the Barn (2013). Jon always
lends me his studio if he’s not using it.
He’s spent time on the road with us. Jon’s
a great guy.
JS: How do you manage to maintain
your high energy performances year after
year?
JL: I always feel at home on stage. It’s
natural for me. When the music starts, it’s
like turning on a switch. And the best part
is when the audience is really getting into it
and havin’ fun. It just carries you along and
knocks you across the room!
JS: Your first new CD of all original
material in five years, SOULTIME!, was
released in September 2015. I read that
the idea for SOULTIME! came to you as
you were shopping in a giant superstore.
JL: That’s right. I was in the wine and
liquor section. Curtis Mayfield’s “Superfly”
came over the store speakers. I looked
around and I noticed that some of the
people around me were really boppin’ to
the music. That’s when I decided that it
was time to come up with some new music
to let people have fun and feel good again.
JS: Describe the music of SOULTIME!
JL: The idea behind SOULTIME! was
to write songs that let people take their
minds off their worries and bring joy to
them. It represents a return to the great
days of soul. It’ll make you want to get up
and dance.
JS: We are thrilled to have Southside
Johnny and the Asbury Jukes back in Mil-
waukee at Turner Hall on March 6.
JL: Get ready for a fun, wild night.
We’re gonna have a party!

OUTDOORS // ROB ZIMMER
BY ROB ZIMMER
It may be the middle of winter, but for
gardeners, this is the most exciting time of
year.
New garden and seed catalogs are
arriving, and the dreams and fantasies of
gardeners everywhere begin to take flower.
Gardening conferences, along with
home and garden trade shows are in full
swing, all preparing us for a year of beauti-
ful gardens, lawns and landscapes.
To feed the growing fury, plant grow-
ers and breeders, along with specialty
plant organizations, unveil their selections
for 2016 Plants of the Year.
Many gardening organizations select
plants of different categories to feature
throughout the year and promote to gar-
deners everywhere.
This year’s award winning plants of the
year are varied and colorful, unique and
unusual, representing some of the best in
the gardening world.
Here is a look at 2016’s Plants of the
Year.
Perennial Plant of the Year
Each year, the Perennial Plant Asso-
ciation selects one perennial variety as its
Perennial Plant of the Year.
This year, Anemone ‘Honorine Jobert’
takes the coveted prize.
A tall, white variety of anemone
that grows 3-4’ high and blooms in late
summer and fall, this plant features large,
3 to 4 inch blooms in pure white.
Deer and rabbit resistant, great for
moist areas in full to part sun, this is a
stunning and elegant plant for late season
bloom.
Hosta of the Year
The American Hosta Society has
chosen the adorable hosta known as
‘Curly Fries,’ as its Hosta of the Year for
2016.
Curly Fries features thin, twisted and
rippled bright green leaves that explode
outward like fireworks, growing to about
18 inches wide, making it a lively and fun
medium sized hosta.
Curly Fries will take quite a bit of sun,
where its color will become even lighter
with stunning golden highlights.
Year of the Delphinium
The National Garden Bureau also
select several featured plants each year.
This includes a perennial, annual, edible
crop and bulb.
The Bureau has designated 2016 the
Year of the Delphin-
ium, celebrating
the towering
spires of colorful
bloom that make
the heirloom
stunner a hit with
gardeners.
Delphiniums
come in many
shades of blue,
making them
highly sought-
after by gardeners.
They grow well
in part shade and
some varieties
may reach 5 to 6
feet in height.
Ye a r o f t h e
Carrot
As its featured edible crop of the year,
the National Garden Bureau has selected
the colorful carrot.
Fun and easy to grow, even for chil-
dren, carrots are available in a wider range
of sizes and shapes than ever, and in many
vibrant colors.
That’s right, carrots are about more
than just orange. Many heirloom and
newer varieties are available in red, purple,
yellow, white and blue.
Make this the year you dive deeper
into growing these nutritious crops at
home. Try them in containers, straw bale
gardens, raised beds and more.
Year of the Begonia
The award for Annual of the Year from
the National Garden Bureau goes to the
colorful and versatile begonia.
From brightly colored, jewel-like
beauties such as angel wings to the mas-
sive, metallic spirals and patterns of Rex
begonias, these plants make wonderful
additions or specimens in sun or shade.
Wisconsin Nursery and Landscape
Association selections
Here in Wisconsin, the Wisconsin
Nursery and Landscape Association has
chosen ‘Hot Lips’ Rose Turtlehead as its
featured ornamental plant of the year.
Growing 2 to 3 feet tall and blooming
with unusual, tubular flowers in hot pink,
this plant is perfect for summer and fall
color. Turtlehead prefers moist soil and
some shade.
The Association has selected elegant
Serbian Spruce as Woody Plant of the
Year, for its slender form and cascading
boughs. This conifer does well in tough
places where it will grow 40 to 60 feet tall
at maturity.
Herb of the Year
Chosen as 2016 Herb of the Year, by
the International Herb Association, the
many varieties of colorful, delicious pep-
pers will be featured all year long.
Try growing some new varieties this
year and enjoy their beauty and flavors
from summer into fall.
Hot Plants for 2016

ENTERTAINMENT // WILDWOOD FILM FESTIVAL
BY JOSHUA GROVER-DAVID
PATTERSON
Part 1: From Humble Beginnings…
In 1991, Robert Rodriguez scraped
together seven thousand dollars, partially
by submitting himself to medical testing,
and made “El Mariachi,” his first feature.
It went to multiple major film festivals
and was picked up by Columbia Pictures,
launching a career that continues to this
day.
In 1993, author Joe Queenan heard
about Robert Rodriguez’s film and decided
to do him two dollars better, by making a
film for $6,998. The movie was “Twelve
Steps to Death,” and it launched exactly
zero careers. It got into a single film fest,
the First Tarryton International Film Fes-
tival, where it won the Golden Headless
Horseman award.
Of course, the open secret, detailed in
the book “The Unkindest Cut,” was that
Queenan threw the festival himself.
The story of the Wildwood Film Festi-
val - now in its fifteenth year and founded
by Craig Knitt, Jason Buss and Tom
Thorne - is more similar to Queenan’s story
than Rodriguez’s.
“Tom [Thorne] and Craig [Knitt]
have been friends since childhood and I
came into the picture when I acted in a
film Craig wrote and directed, called ‘The
Hunt,’” Buss said. “In short, the fest came
into being because Craig couldn’t find
a fest to play the film. The fact that [we
knew] everyone would like the movie if
they could see it, combined with the fact
that we lived in the fastest growing area
of the state, made us think the fest was an
idea whose time had come.”
The first Wildwood Film Festival took
place in 2001 at The Historic West Theater
in Green Bay. In addition to “The Hunt,”
the first festival featured eight other films,
including an entry from Rob Schrab,
who wrote the Steven Spielberg-produced
“Monster House,” and more recently
directed multiple episodes of the cult TV
show “Community.”
It would not be the last time a Hol-
lywood name graced the credits of Wild-
wood. Over the years, famous faces that
have appeared on the screen at Wildwood
include Richard Riehle (the very definition
of a That Guy, he’s been in everything from
“Office Space” to “Modern Family” to
“Bridesmaids”), David H. Lawrence XVII
(“Heroes,” “Good Luck Charlie”), William
Mapother (“Lost,” “The Mentalist”), and
Kim Rhodes (“Supernatural,” “Colony”).

Part 2: Wildwood, Part 2.
And 3. And 4…
Since that first year, the festival has
moved to Appleton, and the number of
film sessions has grown – this year there
are five of them, including a special Friday
night showing of a new feature film called,
interestingly enough, “Appleton.”
“I first learned about the Wildwood
Film Festival about five or six years ago,
but I can’t say I remember how. I know
that back then, having worked on a few
film projects in the Fox Valley area, I heard
about Wildwood and remembered it and
was always interested in supporting the fest
and seeing if we could create something to
(hopefully) take part,” said Greg Cebulski,
one of the producers on the project. “Now
that we have the opportunity, I’m really
proud about being able to come home and
share this movie we made with so many of
the people there that helped us get it done.”
The words “Fox Valley” are quite
important when it comes to Wildwood.
The Wildwood Film Festival focuses on
Wisconsin filmmakers. According to the
fest’s entry form, “The Wildwood Film
Festival is a non-profit event designed to
showcase emerging independent films/
filmmakers from Wisconsin. The pri-
mary creative personnel, such as director,
producer, [or] screenwriter, should have
Wisconsin ties.”
Because of this rule, most of the films
being shown every year were made in
Wisconsin. But many have been created
in such far-flung locales as California, Ten-
nessee, New York, and Sydney, Australia.
As for the film “Appleton,” despite its
ultra-local name, the movie primarily was
shot in and around Greenville, Hortonville
and Dale, with some shooting in Appleton,
including at Appleton Central High
School.
While “Appleton” is not the first feature
film to screen at Wildwood (that would be
“The Hungry Bull,” in 2009) it should be
noted that since its inception, Wildwood
has primarily shown short films. While a
short film usually is defined as anything
with a running time of 60 minutes or
under, most films screened at Wildwood
run for less than 30 minutes.
Moreover, Wildwood has been around
long enough to see gigantic shifts in camera
and computer technology, and what both
of those mean for the life of a short film.
Consider this – the first Wildwood
Film Festival (2001) predates both You-
Tube (2005) and the iPhone (2007). Fif-
teen years ago, most people connected to
the internet via phone line, making video
downloads and uploads a process that
frequently took hours, instead of seconds.
These shifts mean that the bar for
entry into filmmaking is simultaneously
both lower and higher. In the early days
of Wildwood it was possible to know the
general skill level of a filmmaker based
on whether they were shooting on film or
video. Today, a movie shot and edited on a
smartphone can, theoretically, look just as
good as a movie shot by professionals on a
high end camera.
And while fifteen years ago the best
way to get your film in front of an audi-
ence was to try to get into film festivals,
today filmmakers can finish their work and
have it uploaded to the world and shared
on Twitter and Facebook in a matter of
minutes.
Of course, there are certain experiences
you can only have at a film festival.
In 2008, for example, Wildwood
screened a short film entitled “Jake’s
Choice,” complete with a musical score that
was performed live as the film unspooled.
Regardless of how good your TV setup is,
that would be difficult to replicate in your
living room.
Also unique to the film festival experi-
ence will be an educational session – the
festival’s fourth. The topic of the work-
shop this year will be Filmmaking 101:
Getting Started, and it will be hosted at the
Radisson Paper Valley Hotel in downtown
Appleton at 9 AM the day of the festival
– admission is free, check www.wildwood-
filmfest.com for further information.
Some film festival experiences are a
little more universal, however.
John Pata is a filmmaker whose work
has appeared at Wildwood on multiple
occasions. In his own words, he, “[Works]
part-time slinging comic books at House
of Heroes in Oshkosh. I used to co-own a
screen printing shop, but sold that at the
end of 2010 to pursue my passion of film-
making. Since then, the plan has been to
work just enough to pay my bills, allowing
myself more time to focus on the films.”
Pata’s short film “Better Off Undead”
appeared at Wildwood in 2008. He com-
pleted a feature, “Dead Weight,” in 2012,
which secured distribution.
He then returned to Wildwood in 2014
with his short film “Pity,” which won Best
Horror/Thriller. Asked about the benefits
of film festivals, Pata said, “I’ve met a ton
of incredible humans due to all our festival
experiences, and that’s been the best part,
hands down. From screening ‘Better Off
Undead,’ I met people who would then be
a part of ‘Dead Weight.’ While hitting the
festival circuit with ‘Dead Weight,’ I met
even more people, (and) quite a few would

(Run for Fifteen Years)

ENTERTAINMENT // WILDWOOD FILM FESTIVAL
join the team for ‘Pity.’ I’m sure you can see
the pattern here, but there are people I met
from ‘Pity’s’ festival run that will be part of
our next film.
“But, more importantly, I’ve made a
ton of great friends from around the world
due to the films. It’s pretty insane to think
about, but it totally rules.”

Part 3: Wildwood 15 - The Not-So-Final
Chapter:
Asked whether or not they expected
Wildwood to still be going strong after
fifteen years, Tom Thorne and Craig Knitt
gave similar, yet diverging answers:
Knitt: “There’s no way we could have
ever anticipated 15 years of the Wildwood
Film Festival! We were all fairly confident
that we were creating something impor-
tant, but we worried many times that our
scope might have been too limited. Our
audience is quite diverse yet they all seem
to appreciate the artistic endeavors of our
filmmakers.
“Here’s a scary/funny thought...in the
early development stages of our festival we
actually considered calling the fest ‘Whack-
fest’ based on my production company
‘Out of Whack Productions.’ We might
have gotten a whole different crowd if that
name would have stuck!”
Thorne: “15 years? I certainly did not
expect it to make it this far. After a tiny
showing the first year I thought maybe once
was enough. I’m very happy to see that so
much good work/talent keeps coming out
of every corner of Wisconsin.”
Of course, a fifteenth festival means
fifteen years of selecting which films to
include, a process that can be both fun and
difficult.
“I wish that I could say that it was an
exact science but it is not,” Buss said. “We
have always said that if [a film] is shorter,
it stands a better chance of being accepted.
Though it (is) easier to program shorter
films than features, that concept also came
out of the realization that when we first
started it was the ‘shorts’ that were more
enjoyable and better quality because the
technology was so different. Now that the
tech cost hurdle has dropped, the only item
separating many films now is the quality
of the story. Whether we stay focused on
shorts or open it to all lengths of projects is
something that will be up for discussion in
the future.”
Knitt said a variety of factors goes into
the choice of films that Wildwood
screens.
“We look for films that cel-
ebrate the Midwestern sensibilities
as well as some that challenge
those same ideals. We’re always
hungry for some short, sweet
comedies, but if we get a film that
has a nice story, we’ll always try to
make room for it,” Knitt said. “We
tell folks that when they watch the
festival they’ll see some films that
will blow their socks off. I’ve heard
people say, ‘I can’t believe that was
made here in Wisconsin!’ But, we also try
to include some pieces that will challenge
folks to get out there and make some of
their own films. We consider story, acting
and production value when films come our
way, but also look at the significance of the
Wisconsin connection.”
Frances Perkins, a lecturer at University
of North Texas’ Department of Radio-
TV-Film and Journalism, served as both a
judge and a participant of Wildwood over
the course of several years.
“It has been such a pleasure to watch
Wildwood grow over the years,” said Per-
kins, who entered Wildwood with her hus-
band and collaborator, Troy Perkins. “Our
first screening at Wildwood was in 2006,
and we’ve had 6 shorts show over the past
10 years. Three years I’ve been a judge in
the competition. Students of mine have
volunteered and shown their own work,
and have always been welcomed into the
Wildwood family.”
Ultimately, judging is a multi-step pro-
cess, with the founders setting the overall
schedule of films, and a separate panel of
judges voting on which films will ultimately
be awarded as the best in their category.
Featured genres have ranged from horror to
comedy to music videos to documentaries
to student films to animation, and just
about every style and classification has been
represented over the course of fifteen years.
Thorne noted, “I’m not as involved as I
used to be in the actual selection of films.
Currently, I’m more of a dispute settler; if
there is a film or two that we are uncertain
if it should play, I am sometimes the decid-
ing vote for in or out. Personally, I like to
see short comedies. The reason we don’t see
very many of those is that it’s actually very
hard to make a good humorous film.”
Filmmakers looking for a challenge,
take note – the gauntlet has been thrown.

Part 4: Coming Soon…
Much like the proverbial shark that
must always keep moving, Wildwood must
both get through the current year and pre-
pare for the year(s) to come. This is a huge
and unique challenge as a one-time event,
much less as an annual occurrence.
This year the original triumvirate has
added a couple of new members to the
board: Brian Murray and Jim Bork.
“Brian Murray was integral in help-
ing us achieve our incorporation and our
non-profit 501c3 status,” Buss said. “He
has supported us with tax and appropriate
financial services. He has obviously been
a supporter for a while so he was a natural
addition. He and I have been friends for
years. We had become acquainted with
Jim Bork when he hosted Wildwood at his
business, the Big Picture. He has been our
bookkeeper ever since. He is very aware of
the inner workings of the group as it was,
and he was also a very easy and sensible
addition.”
Thorne offered some thoughts on the
Wildwood workload. “Wildwood to me is
like any other social event. It’s fun to be
around people that like sports if you like
sports, music if you like music, and movies
if you like movies. It’s kind of like throw-
ing a big party every year. The workload
is similar to that of a large wedding. And
when the event is over, we catch our breath
and then start all over.”
Perkins summed up the hard work the
board members face each year – and just
why she thinks it’s worth it.
“Jason, Tom and Craig are true film
lovers, and that passion shows in every-
thing they do,” she said. “If they didn’t love
it so much, they wouldn’t go through the
hard work and pressure it takes to put on
a film festival! I especially appreciate the
Wisconsin connection that all films must
have. It keeps the local feeling alive and
sets Wildwood apart from other festivals in
the state.”
Since it was Knitt’s films that kicked off
fifteen years of Wildwood, it seems fitting
to let him have the last word about where
he hopes the fest goes in the future. “The
biggest thing we’d like to see is that the
festival does more than break even. We’ve
struggled a few years, but feel strongly
about what we offer creators in our state.
We’ve had incredible audiences yet there is
no way we’re compensated for the energy
and time we all commit to Wildwood.
We’re looking at partnerships that will
make those efforts pay off. We’d also
like to see Wildwood utilized more as an
educational opportunity for tomorrow’s
filmmakers of all ages.”

Part 5: The Where’s and the When’s.
In a world where the movie theater
experience is filled primarily with sequels,
remakes, too-long-too-boring dramas and
unsubtle (and often unfunny) comedies,
The Wildwood Film Festival presents its
viewers with a completely unique viewing
experience. Unless you attend a lot of film
festivals, chances are good that the movies
you’ll see at Wildwood are movies that
you’ll never get a chance to see anywhere
else.
And who knows – perhaps one day
you’ll find yourself in a movie theater, see
a name go by on the screen, and think
– “Hey! I saw that person’s film at Wild-
wood!”
The Wildwood Film Festival is playing
Friday, February 19 and Saturday, February
20.

are posted at www.wildwoodfilmfest.com.
