Here's what you'll miss if you don't pick up a City Paper this week:

FEATURES!

A.D. Amorosi previews an upcoming "ficto-memoir" by local poet, painter and actress Ronnie Norpel. Norpel is one of a big club that has cursed a sports team, but in this case it was our beloved Phils. He writes, "Constitutional Blues â part personal history, part novel â [is] a love letter to Phillies fans 'to lift the curse off the team,' she says. 'Besides, Chase [Utley] and that gang never did anything to me.' "
Shaun Brady reviews Greenberg, while Cindy Fuchs takes on Chloe.
Patrick Rapa tops off the five bigger-than-you-can-get-outside-of-Texas acts that rocked him at SXSW 2010 and why, such as: "Waiting to get in, I tried to explain to some She & Him fans who Superchunk is. They named their favorite Zooey Deschanel movies."
Shaun Brady interviews cult director and pop culture fanatic John Waters, who says "You can be angry till you're 20, you can be pissed at your parents till you're 30, after that, shut up."

COLUMNS!

Robin Rice Re:Views "The Hermamphrodites: Living in Two Worlds," a sculpture exhibition at Wexler Gallery that could spin your hat round. Rice writes: "The fleshy colors and rounded shapres are pretty if you can ignore the undeniable creep-out factor in the suggestion of unidentifiable organs..."
Rodney Anonymous thinks we should aid Brazil because the Pecadores' "newest release on Wave Records, Rogai Por Nos (Pray for Us), is a twisting, hissing, slithering beast that's equal parts wicked electronica and sample-driven voodoo ceremony.

AND THEN THERE'S ...

Kaleidoscope quick hits on Undeclared, the scoop on AMC's Breaking Bad, Panic Years' new EP, and the 1992 party. Yeah boyyy!
Arts Picks on the Community Education Center's NY Dance Exchange, Fallen Angels and Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell.
Movie shorts on City Island, Hot Tub Time Machine, How to Train Your Dragon and Terribly Happy (Frygtelig lykkelig)
Music Picks on Miles Kurosky, Sugar Town, Lawrence Arabia, Love is All, Last Emperor and Wye Oak
