L etter s Ideas Without Accountability Re: Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s Push for Electric Cars So, before Garcetti goes off on another failed initiative, shouldn’t he be held accountable to produce something that works? Zero traffic deaths, road diets, homeless housing … with this latest news, his next initiative will be to remove the unexpected animal excrement from the streets after we’re back on horse-drawn carts. Is anyone going to hold these people responsible for any results? That would be you, the press. Please do your jobs. Bill Hart Marina del Rey

Tighter Belts are Back in Style

Anticipating flattening revenues and possible recession, Santa Monica plans job and spending cuts to pay down its pension obligations By Gary Walker Santa Monica may be a progressive city in terms of environmental and housing policies, but its budget outlook leans conservative. Foreseeing a potentially dangerous collision of shrinking tax revenues and staggering employee pension liabilities, the city’s financial officers want city council members to adopt a belt-tightening strategy that means cutting jobs and programming to reduce overall spending. City Hall is proposing a 2019-21 biennial fiscal year budget that would eliminate 29 jobs (most of them unfilled), realign some city departments, restructure or eliminate the Breeze Bikeshare Program (facing stiff competition from electric scooters), end city subsidies for the Los Angeles Marathon and Twilight Concerts on Santa Monica Pier, and save $90,000 by ending radio broadcasts of council meetings on KCRW, among other cuts to save tens of millions of dollars. Savings would be used to pay down a 30-year city pension liability, estimated at $448-million, on an accelerated 13-year cycle. The pension pay-down “would save the city $106 million,” said Santa Monica Finance Director Gigi Decavalles-Hughes. The city’s budget proposal anticipates a flattening-out of city tax revenues as

Santa Monica City Manager Rick Cole wants “a government that runs better but costs less.” digital business models increasingly disrupt brick-and-mortar retail. “The threat of a recession looms ahead after the longest sustained economic expansion in our nation’s modern history. Profound technological, economic and demographic changes are reshaping our lives, affecting both the public and private sectors and rendering old ways of doing businesses and delivering services increasingly obsolete,” reads a budget proposal report. City officials aim to publish a final budget proposal on May 23 and expect the council to adopt a final budget by June 25, ahead of the July 1 start of the 2019-20 fiscal year.

Santa Monica is one of only a few municipalities in California with a Triple AAA rating by all three national credit agencies. City Manager Rick Cole emphasized during an April 24 budget briefing that the city is presently in very good fiscal condition due to decades of solid fiscal stewardship, and he hopes to continue that legacy. “Our overriding goal is to operate a government that runs better but costs less. Our city has been managed very prudently over the last 30 years, and our job is to keep it that way,” Cole told reporters last week. Decavalles-Hughes said the city sets

aside $21 million from its capital budget for infrastructure maintenance for current and future facilities. This annual set-aside, Cole said, has helped Santa Monica remain a prosperous city. “After all of our bills are paid our net worth is over $1.6 billion, which is the second-highest per capita in the Southern California. Contrast that with Inglewood, which has a net worth of minus $64 million. The difference is the over the last 30 years we have steadily been investing in our facilities and equipment and minimizing borrowing,” Cole said. Last month the council indicated support for a local mental health facility as well as a new transitional homeless building with social services on site. Cole said the budget does not contain specific funding for either of those, but at council direction both remain very possible. “We see them coming into fruition either with state, county or federal money, or local money if we’re able to secure matching funds. The goal is to put the resources together regionally,” he said. The possibility of raising additional revenue through ballot measures during the 2020 is also a possibility, Cole said, but made clear that his office is not currently considering any new taxes, and that putting any such initiatives on the ballot would require city council approval.

A Big Yellow Warning Sign Ballona’s beautiful mustard plant superbloom is a challenge for native species By Gary Walker From the Westchester bluffs, the Ballona Wetlands look like a sea of bright yellow. Following the wettest January and February in years, wild mustard plants have become the stars of a Playa del Rey superbloom. But where many passersby see beauty, wetlands biologists see trouble ahead. “Everyone gets excited about the ‘wildflowers’ — which they are not — and they love all the yellow, but in a month or so everything will dry up and become a field of brown dead brush, which is a huge fire hazard and another obstacle to restoration of native plants and habitat for wildlife,” notes Neysa Frechette, field biologist for the wetlands protection and restoration group Friends of Ballona Wetlands. The newly ubiquitous black mustard plants (brassica nigra) are an invasive, non-native species that competes with essential native plant species for nutrients, sunlight, water and space to grow. They’re sturdy and hard to remove, PAGE 8 THE ARGONAUT May 2, 2019

The Ballona Wetlands is overwhelmed with mustard plants creating new obstacles for wetlands caretakers. “Between the black mustard plants and the garland chrysanthemum [yellow and white daisies], we could hardly even move through Area A [the wetlands near Marina del Rey] to do our bird survey,” Frechette says. The mustard plants are extremely tall this year — some as high as six feet — and more prevalent than the 2017 Ballona mustard bloom, she adds,

blaming supercharged growth on winter’s drought-busting rainfall. The 5.52 inches of rainfall recorded at LAX in January made it the second-wettest January of the past five years behind 2017, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data. And February brought an additional 4.36 inches to LAX, exceeding the 30-year monthly median by more than an inch. All that rain was a boon for some

Ballona denizens, however — particularly of the winged variety. “This amount of rain fuels the salt pan in the wetlands, where organisms will now be ready to come forth and blue herons, egrets and other shore birds can drink more often,” points out Margot Griswold, a local restoration biologist. But black mustard isn’t the only interloper taking advantage. Carnation spurge [aka euphorbia terracina], a dense weed with strong roots and carnationlike blooms, is also spreading extensively this year. “The main obstacle is that these plants out-compete native plants and are often hard to remove. They will likely never be eradicated completely. We have a constant battle against them because they seed prolifically and grow quickly, taking up space and resources from our native species,” Frechette laments. Friends of Ballona Wetlands, she says, is actively seeking volunteers to remove invasive flora and restore native species.

An Elusive Gentle Giant

Rare plankton-eating basking shark spotted twice in Santa Monica Bay By Danny Karel To spot a basking shark — a gentle giant, with gills that encircle its head and a mouth that expands to a surreal aperture — is incredibly rare. But to spot two in the course of a month, right here in Santa Monica Bay? “It was a very special thing,” said Capt. Skip Rutzick, who operates The Duchess Yacht Charter Service out of Marina del Rey. “I’ve been on the ocean 1,000 times in the last five years and I’ve seen many whales, I couldn’t tell you how many thousands of dolphins, and the very rare ocean sunfish the Mola mola — but to see a basking shark was very special.” The first sighting occurred on March 31, three to four miles east of Moonshadows restaurant along the south-facing Malibu coast. Video footage captured by First Mate Michelle Hughes shows a large dorsal fin, followed by a smaller tail fin, meandering lazily through the bright afternoon waters. The crew followed the shark for several minutes before it submerged out of sight. The second shark sighting happened in the early evening of April 20, in almost the exact same location. The crew was

Islands, which lends further credence to Wilbourn’s identification. In the early 20th century, it was possible to see schools containing hundreds — even thousands — of basking sharks swimming off the coast of California, but the population was drastically reduced after being targeted by fisheries and eradication programs. Basking sharks are currently listed as a Species of Concern by NOAA, meaning they would possibly qualify as an endangered species if only scientists could gather more information. “We really don’t know much about basking sharks, especially in the Pacific,” explained Hyde. “We know that we don’t see them very often, but we also don’t see them caught in a lot of fisheries.” While basking sharks are harmless to humans, Hyde encouraged boaters to keep their distance. “They’re often just cruising around trying to collect food,” he said. “You don’t want to get too close with your boat because you don’t want to strike them or scare them, for their own safety.” Those who spot a basking shark are asked to contact NOAA at (858) 334-2884.

Story

Mid-Century ‘Modernique’ Gregory Ain’s Mar Vista Tract homes brought revolutionary architecture to regular people. 71 years later, they’re still pretty impressive … Story by Lawrence Yee Photos by Maria Martin When entertainment lawyer Amanda Seward and musician Hans Adamson purchased a modest Mar Vista home in 1994, they had little idea it was such an important part of Los Angeles architectural history. Their single-story, 1,600-square-foot home (including an addition and converted garage) is among the best-restored examples of 52 tract homes designed by modernist architect Gregory Ain for a post-war suburban housing experiment east of Beethoven Street between Venice and Palms boulevards. Homes in the Mar Vista Tract went on the market in 1948 for about $12,000, PAGE 10 THE ARGONAUT May 2, 2019

which for middle-class buyers at the time meant a $2,000 down payment and an FHA-approved mortgage. Newspaper advertisements at the time proclaimed them “Modernique” homes “Built for Living,” with convertible floorplans that offered cutting-edge modern design by a Guggenheim Award-winning architect at this relatively affordable price. Some of the features that set Mar Vista Tract homes apart from their contemporaries include separate rooms for the toilet and shower, rows of clerestory windows and high doorways to maximize natural light, recessed wall cabinets to maximize storage space, a kitchen with blinds that close or open to the living room, and folding or sliding doors that

can change a home’s footprint to create extra bedrooms in a matter of seconds — addressing a very practice housing concern during the Baby Boom. “There’s one sliding wall and one folding wall. If you have them both closed, you have two more rooms,” says Adamson. “You can have one bedroom or three bedrooms, depending on where you are in life at the time,” adds Seward. Ain’s architectural mission was, after all, to address common housing problems of the common American family. (In 1950, Ain applied ideas from Mar Vista to his 1950 Exhibition House for the Museum of Modern Art in New York, a project shepherded by

then-trustees A. Conger Goodyear and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller III). “Ain had done a lot of individual design on private homes, but what he really wanted to do most of all was tract homes and bring this design idea to the public,” explains Adamson, who has become an expert on the Mar Vista Tract’s history through extensive research. “It speaks to everyday life for everyday people, which to me is more relevant than housing for the wealthy,” adds Seward. The couple has carefully decorated their home with vintage artifacts, film posters and African pop art, but what made them fall in love with it was its inherent flexibility.

Gregory Ain’s Mar Vista Tract brought modernism to the masses A B OV E : Hans Adamson and Amanda Seward (upper right) have painstakingly restored the interior of their 1948 Mar Vista Tract home, including the kitchen that opens to the living room (lower left) LEFT:

They still marvel at the ingenuity of its kitchen, with a hidden Venetian blind and floor flap that can close or open a line of site to the living room. “Ain read that women were the primary caregivers and spent most of the time in the kitchen, so the idea was they could be in the kitchen but see out and watch their kids play,” Seward explains. While their home’s design has withstood the passage of time, parts of its foundation hadn’t when they first bought it 25 years ago. “When we moved in here, we knew there was work to be done,” Adamson recalls. “Amanda said let’s just fix the house up in two weeks, and then we can have a party. And I said, ‘You’re crazy. Two weeks is not enough. It’s going to take at least two months.’ It took five years!”

Getting to peek beneath the surface of his home’s interior made that work an unexpected delight for Adamson, however.

mirror the floating cabinets between the living room and an early 1960s addition that the original owner added. Seward

“I like the democratic way in which the homes were designed. They weren’t designed for servants.” — Amanda Seward “The guy who lived here since the early 1950s, if he changed something he always left the original under,” Adamson says. “If I took off something, the original was already there.” By doing so, he was able to restore the walls damaged by termites and even

took her research skills to UC Santa Barbara, where Ain’s original Mar Vista Tract drawings and designs are archived (many of which have been uploaded to Adamson’s website on the project: marvistatract.org). The couple even did their own research

into the original paint colors. Seward discovered some plans with Plochere Color System codes, a proprietary set of color samples first published in the late 1940s. Unable to find a reference that could match the codes with colors, Adamson finally tracked down the son of the Plochere Color System inventors. He ended up buying all the silkscreen pieces for the Mar Vista Tract and painstakingly uploaded many of the original color plans online. Seward and Adamson are sharing their home and research with the public as part of the upcoming Venice Design Series, a string of architectural tours that benefit the affordable housing creation efforts of the Venice Community Housing Corporation.

The VCHC’s stated mission is to maximize housing affordability and strengthen the economic and cultural diversity of Westside neighborhoods, which echoes Ain’s philosophy of affordable design that inspired the Mar Vista Tract more than seven decades ago. The irony that Mar Vista Tract housed are routinely valued at around $1.8 million — more than quintuple what Adamson and Seward paid in 1994 — is not lost on the couple. “These homes have gotten chichi, and the prices have gone up. A lot has to do with the location. But I think these are a

good example of what someone was doing at the time,” Seward reflects. “I like the democratic way in which the homes were designed. They weren’t designed for servants. You can clean the house easily yourself. Even the windows are at a very human scale. It’s one story. You can live in the house in old age. “Hopefully it provides some inspiration for innovative solutions that deal with the housing issues and housing shortages that we now have.”

A Runway without Limits Otis fashion mentors encourage students to design outside the lines

By Christina Campodonico Since 1978, Otis College of Art and Design’s top-ranked fashion program has had a reputation for pushing boundaries. In 2016, the college made the bold move to relocate its department of fashion design away from downtown L.A.’s fashion district to its Westchester campus. In 2018, the department moved its annual fashion show from the Beverly Hilton to the rooftop of the campus parking garage — an edgy choice. On Saturday, the fashion department aims to break the mold once again with “Limitless,” the theme of its 37th annual fashion show gala and benefit celebrating Otis’ centennial and showcasing work from Otis fashion majors — this year not only mentored by traditional fashion designers from brands such as Ralph Lauren and Vince, but also creatives in adjacent fields such as celebrity styling, fashion taste-making and costume design. “More and more I would say students are highly influenced by influencers and stylists,” says Jill Higashi Zeleznik, chair of Otis’ fashion department. With that in

mind, she recruited celebrity stylist B. Akerlund — who has more than 100,000 Instagram followers and has worked with Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Madonna and Beyoncé — to be a mentor for one studio class this year, and couture bodysuit designer Bao Tranchi, whose skin-tight, dominatrix-inspired dresses have appeared on Jennifer Lopez, rapper Nicki Minaj, model Gigi Hadid and actress Selena Gomez, to guide a cohort of juniors. “So that’s the reason why the theme is ‘Limitless.’ I wanted the students who come into our place to feel as if that there’s a lot of different kinds of possibilities,” says Zeleznik, who goes on to describe the designers’ (also known as “mentors”) various prompts to students for the fashion show. Akerlund wanted students to think outside the box to invent open-ended head-to-toe looks (“She said… ‘I want you to feel as if you’re looking at some kind of surreal painting,’” recalls Zeleznik); Tranchi challenged students (most of whom are size 4, Zeleznik observes) to make apparel that respect-

fully accentuates the beauty and builds of plus-size models; and Eduardo Castro, costume designer for the ABC fantasy series “Once Upon a Time,” encouraged students to play with unusual materials and methods such as plastics and laser cutting. “We have a variety of different looks coming down the runway, and it’s something that we’ve never really done before,” says Zeleznik. Among those looks are a set of military uniform-inspired women’s apparel made by students in A-list fashion designer Jason Wu’s class: Reinventing the Women’s Uniform Studio. (You may recognize Wu from the near ubiquitous Chase Bank TV commercial “Jason’s Way”; he also designed the now iconic white gown Michelle Obama wore for President Obama’s first inauguration ball). The class itself is a collaboration between Santa Monica-based design and architecture foundation MADWORKSHOP and Wu, who took students to LACMA’s costume and textiles department to further research the influence of

military styles, civilian sportswear and men’s suit tailoring on women’s clothing in the ’40s and ’50s. “They gave us a really intimate view as to the different kinds of historical references,” says Zeleznik. “It was amazing from an academic point of view … that opportunity to look at what’s behind the scenes in the archives. That gave [the students] a broader view as to what they can do when they actually leave us.” But first the students, or rather the models wearing their designs, will have to strut their stuff on the Otis runway, which comes to life twice on the rooftop of the campus’ parking garage this Saturday —once at 6:30 p.m. for VIPs followed by dinner, and then again at 8:30 p.m. followed by an after party. KCRW’s Garth Trinidad deejays. Otis’ Centennial Scholarship Benefit and Fashion Show happens at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Saturday (May 4) atop the campus parking garage near La Tijera and Lincoln boulevards. Tickets are $100 at otis.edu/scholarship-benefit-fashion-show. May 2, 2019 THE ARGONAUT PAGE 13

‘Amerikkka’ Returns Street art confronting racism shows up on Abbot Kinney Boulevard By Kelby Vera A racially-charged banner spotted last fall on the Santa Monica High School campus before security guards quickly removed it has returned — this time six feet tall and nearly eight feet wide, plastered on a concrete wall along bustling Abbot Kinney Boulevard. As before, the creator of the guerilla artwork remains a mystery. Above the words “This is Amerikkka,” a young black woman wrapped in the American flag stands defiantly against a mosaic of nearly 100 smaller images, ranging from anachronistic depictions of blackface and minstrel figures to the leering faces of white American presidents. Amid prolific use of racial slurs, pointed pop culture references include a poster for the Klansmanlauding film “Birth of a Nation,” photos of Western icon John Wayne, a postage stamp commemorating Elvis Presley and multiple depictions of a lily-white Jesus. Santa Monica’s grassroots Racial Justice Coalition held a public discussion of the collage in January. Some felt antagonized by the images; others praised “This is

The guerilla artwork’s central figure confronts disturbing images of racism

Amerikkka” (likely referring to Donald Glover’s song of the same name) as a biting work of protest art. Despite its scale and provocative racial imagery, on a recent afternoon many

passersby appeared to stroll along oblivious to the piece in its new surroundings. Others simply gave it a nod before continuing on their way, barely stopping to consider it.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Your Friendly Neighborhood Super Market

Perhaps those reactions are a sign of indifference to confronting racism among affluent shoppers and tourists. Or it could be that the dividing wall flanking the shuttered 1420 Abbot Kinney Blvd. storefront (between a boutique spa and the glasses shop Warby Parker) is easy to overlook. Maybe there’s just so much artwork along Abbot Kinney these days — much of it commercial in nature — that all the visual noise just drowns it out. There was at least one fascinated passerby, however —a visitor from Amsterdam who felt a strong connection to the piece because of the Netherlands’ legacy of blackface to depict Zwarte Piet (Black Peter), a dark-skinned companion of St. Nicholas in holiday folklore. “For me it’s interesting to see the comparison between the U.S. and the Netherlands,” the woman said. “In both places the discussions are not rational — very emotional because no one wants to confront the fact they might be part of the problem.” Inspired?

“Welcome home to this beautifully appointed Spanish bungalow,” says agent Stephanie Younger. “Upon entry, you will be greeted by a warm living room accented with hardwood floors and a fireplace. To your left, an updated kitchen and dining room are thoughtfully adorned with a breakfast nook, patterned tiles, decorative light fixtures, and stylish wallpaper, giving the space a contemporary feeling, reminiscent of the western Mediterranean. Down the hall, two bedrooms provide tranquil privacy, while a master suite boasts even more character-rich elements such as a glass-enclosed shower and sliding doors to the backyard. Outside, a glistening pool is framed by colorful bougainvillea and a dramatic raised entertainer’s patio. A detached bonus space creates the perfect footprint for a guest house or private sanctuary for your own personal relaxation. Truly unique, this home brings the Spanish countryside to a highly desirable Silicon Beach location.”

Los AngeLes Times sundAy Crossword PuzzLe “WHY NOT?” By DAVID ALFRED BYWATERS

Exorcises You Can Do At Home My boyfriend dumped me and moved out of our place. I’m on the lease and can’t afford to break it, but it still feels like “our place” and that’s making it hard to move on. My hippie friend said I should burn sage or light a candle and do a “letting go” meditation. Umm, okay. Can you please explain how rituals like this are bogus and unscientific so I can get her off my back? — Annoyed As I see it, lingering emotional distress like yours requires serious intervention — like sacrificing a goat on the coffee table. (Possibly two, if one doesn’t get ‘er done.) Just kidding about the goats … you’d have to hire crime scene cleaners afterward, which could get seriously pricey. Research by Harvard Business School’s Michael I. Norton, among others, actually finds that rituals — symbolic activities we do with some goal in mind — seem to help us feel better: less negative, less anxious and more in control. Amazingly, this is even true for ritual-doers who don’t believe in the rituals — who think they’re idiotic, embarrassing and pointless. Annoyingly, researchers aren’t quite sure why rituals have this effect on us. My guess is that we confuse the real with the symbolic. Research by cognitive neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga suggests our mind is a master spin doctor, creating stories about our

behavior that make us look consistent, rational and smart. And no sooner does it come up with those stories than it turns right around and believes them. In short, our mind is under the impression that we’re not stupid — that if we do something, we must have a good reason. In other words, your friend is on to something. And you might use this to get her onto another thing: a ladder in your living room. I suggest a painting ritual — painting over your old life (in stylin’ new hues, of course) to transform the house you shared with your ex into a colorful new home of your own. Per the research on ritual, ceremony would be an essential part of this — including explicitly calling what you’re doing a “ritual” and saying a few words, the way you would at a funeral. Incorporate a ceremonial tearing-up of a photo of the two of you together, and have your friends chant, “Out, out, Steve! You are no longer welcome here!” Then have everybody accompany you to toss the pieces into the dumpster. Admittedly, this ritual will probably seem seriously silly while you’re doing it, but you can just choose to buy into it and have a good time. While you’re at it, give your friend some props. She was on the right track in helping you rid your home of the Ghost of Boyfriend Past, despite suggesting burning a small bunch of cooking herbs when it probably seemed nothing short of arson would do the job.

Tents Situation I read in Bon Appetit about this woman who takes all her dates to Olive Garden to see whether they judge her when she pockets all the leftover breadsticks. OK, whatever. But what I wanna see is whether somebody’s a good person. What kind of dates do you suggest for determining a potential boyfriend’s character and values? — Concerned Woman People often say you can discover a person’s true character from how they treat the waiter. And sure, rudeness to a waiter is a red flag, but it isn’t like we easily identify the sociopaths among us because they summon the server referee-style, by blowing a whistle. It helps to consider the roots of good behavior — moral behavior, that is: why people are good to other people. Evolutionary cognitive scientists Dan Sperber and Nicolas Baumard explain that “People may behave morally

because they intrinsically value doing so — a genuine moral reason — or in order to gain the approval of others.” But there’s a complication: We all care about our reputation and doing things that put us in the best light, which is to say both the worst people and the best people behave better when they know they’re being watched. A person’s true character will come out over time. But there’s a way to speed up the dirtbag detection process: observe a person’s behavior under harsh conditions. In other words, consider getting kidnapped and held hostage together by the Albanian mob — or, if that’s a little impractical for you, go camping or even just hike some challenging trail. When the chips are down (like if you get injured), that’s when you see: Is he there for you, or is he the type to leave you to die in the wilderness? “I’d totally make a tourniquet for you, but this is a $400 Burberry shirt. Good luck!”

Since leaving Venice, Cristina Vane has forged her own path in the blues By Bliss Bowen Since playing a farewell show at Surfside and relocating to Nashville in September, former Venice Boardwalk busker Cristina Vane has set up residencies at some Music City watering holes, started recording her rootsy debut album, played shows across the South, and ping-ponged back to L.A. for the NAMM convention and “American Idol” auditions — the latter rather unexpectedly, after someone invited her to try out. (She got sent home during the group round in Hollywood.) “It was good to be pushed in an area I was unfamiliar with … and it was inspiring to see all the talent; I was in the room with unbelievable singers, and that’s never a bad thing at all,” says the multilingual Princeton grad, speaking from her Nashville kitchen. “But the biggest takeaway was I need to keep doing what I’m doing.” That means continuing to run her career on her own terms — posting more homemade videos (#bluetip) for her 16,000 Instagram followers, working on her album, and performing live as much as possible. Last week she played Blind Willie Johnson tribute covers in Pennsylvania before running her slide guitar through originals and old-time tunes in West Virginia. This Saturday she’s bringing her National ResoRocket guitar to the Topanga Blues Festival. One of four featured, she’ll be accompanied by drummer Billy Stobo (part of the “big incestuous family” that is Venice’s OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK

Willie, Brian, Bob & Ziggy The inaugural BeachLife Festival celebrates L.A. beach culture through music By Bliss Bowen Who is the beach for? That’s a question often debated by families, artists, environmentalists and real estate developers, and one that’s being revived by the inaugural BeachLife Festival this weekend in Redondo Beach. By any standard metric, BeachLife is a major live music event. The celebration of Westside and South Bay beach cultures, kicking off Thursday night with a concert by the original lineup of X during a VIP party hosted by Dogtown Z-boy legend Tony Alva, attracts a curious array of artists. Bob Weir, Bruce Hornsby, Steel Pulse, Chris Robinson’s As the Crow Flies and an “acoustic roots set” from Slightly Stoopid are Friday’s headliners. Brian Wilson, Jason Mraz, Everclear, Best Coast, Dawes, Sugar Ray, Violent Femmes and Chevy Metal are among Saturday’s highlights. Willie Nelson and Family, Ziggy Marley, Grace Potter, Blues Traveler, Venice, Keller Williams’ Grateful Gospel, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Poncho Sanchez, Colin Hay, Chris Pierce, Matt Costa, Charlie Overbey, and Lost Beach, among others, all squeeze into Sunday’s bill. For the most part — Beach Boy Brian Wilson is a legendary exception — the music of those artists doesn’t celebrate beach culture directly. Rather, there’s a connected vibe of peace, love, understanding, and communal grooves. So what Alt-rockers Everclear and soulman Chris Pierce actively defy the SoCal exactly does beach culture represent? beach bro stereotypes that irk them ‘We Like Our Space’ cousin’s family, and we’ve grown up with more than a mile and a half away, or in Dominant stereotypes of surfer bros and my junior high years a quarter mile away. lots of different types of music and Malibu millionaires irk Everclear frontthroughout all the different shifting I could see the ocean from the top of man Alex Alexakis, who was born in cultures in Southern California.” Ocean Park Hill when I walked out my Santa Monica and plans to hit the HightLennon and his cousins, who’ll kick door in the morning.

He describes idyllic Everclear songs like “Heroin Girl,” “Santa the people a little bit older than me, like scenes: riding bikes to the beach, listening Monica,” “Father of Mine,” “Wonderful” Tony Alva and those guys.

the beach community: “I’ll put my feet upon the sand/ Begin again where I began/ Yeah, that’s just what I will do.” “You can’t help it; you’ve got salt water in your veins and you feel that tugging of the ocean because that’s the culture we grew up with,” says Lennon, who now lives in a tiny apartment by Speedway. “Not just surfing and the cliché version that people think about, but the actual people whose kids go to school here and are born and raised here and die here, and celebrations of people’s life on the beach. It’s a sincere, real world.”

‘The Way the Sea Moves’

Winemaking soulman Chris Pierce, who’ll get audiences in the groove with old and new tunes from the Riptide Stage with his band on Sunday at noon, recalls regularly jamming on reggae, blues, soul and original tunes at Patrick Molloy’s in Hermosa Beach from 2003 to 2006. Those formative experiences lead to performances and residencies at Saint Rocke and later WitZend in Venice, and half a dozen solo albums. Pierce’s roots are in Pasadena, but as he points out, being an Angeleno means the beach is part of your heritage even if you aren’t a Westsider. “You can go hiking and to the beach on the same day and be in a metropolitan area for dinner; sometimes, late winter, you can go up to the snow and to the beach on the same day. Our whole Left Coast is surrounded by water, and it’s a big part of who we are. Southern Californians, whether they know it or not, are influenced in their daily lives and the way they move by the way the sea moves.” Pierce, who’s looking forward to hearing “living legends” Ziggy Marley, Willie Nelson and Poncho Sanchez on Sunday, chuckles when acknowledging how hard friends who live by the ocean work to maintain their lifestyle. But he admires their “great sense of community and soulfulness.” “A lot of the folks I know that have been deep in the beach culture for many years are some of the most soulful, spiritual folks that I’ve ever known,” he says, “… people who care about the environment and those around them.” In keeping with that spirit, festival organizers are commendably striving to keep single-use consumer plastics to a minimum, and have enlisted forwardlooking environmental groups such as the 5 Gyres Institute, the Rob Machado Foundation, the Surfrider Foundation and Zero Hero to assist with recycling and cleanup.
