f you live on the Westside and Japanese food is among your favorite cuisines, you’re in luck. Thanks largely to Eric Nakamura, who in 2001 opened his flagship Giant Robot novelty store on Sawtelle Boulevard near Olympic, other vendors followed suit with Asian restaurants, markets, dessert spots and more pop culture places. Shoring up West L.A.’s Japanese destinations a short drive south is Mitsuwa Marketplace. Occupying a former Safeway for 21 years now, Mitsuwa is Mar Vista’s great treasure: a supermarket with a food court and a few stores built within it catering to Japanese tastes. A circle of eateries compete for your cash (including
Sanuki Sandou, which makes a mean bowl of thin-sliced beef udon) and, for about $7, rewards you with a generous bowl of yumminess, fraught with cooked veggies, roasted seaweed, and meat, tofu or tempura of choice. Other bonuses: the ample free parking lot, and, at the market, you can cherry-pick extras to go with your meal, from gyoza to sushi rolls. There’s also tasty beverages, be it a cold can of Kona or some sickeningly sweet drink with Hello Kitty or a Mario Brother on it. (If your unrefined palate prefers an Arizona iced tea or the like, Mitsuwa is CVS-adjacent.) The market eateries are cash only.

& The Report is in. Saint John’s Health Center is the only hospital in Los Angeles to receive the “highest rating” for hip and knee replacement.
In their September 2013 issue, Consumer Reports published their ratings for hospitals based on faster recovery times with fewer complications. As a result, Saint John’s has the distinct honor of being named the highest rated hospital in Los Angeles for hip and knee replacements.

Best sushi house to enjoy ‘dessert’ Hama Sushi, Venice
213 Windward Ave., Venice; Hasmasushi.com 310-396-8783.
H
ama Sushi is a Venice institution. Next year will mark its 35th year in operation and if you don’t blink, you’ll see it pop up in the original “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo,” the 1999 surprise hit comedy starring Rob Schneider. Since taking over Hama Sushi in 2004 from its founding owner (who used to have a sushi academy located next door), Esther Kim has become a driving engine in her restaurant and in her community, boasting local artists on the restaurant walls, handing over her bar to film screenings, and her parking lot to live concerts. Originally from Seoul, South Korea, Kim has been equally involved in embellishing
the menu, which includes adding some Korean touches to the menu, such as the bulgogi. More significantly, she has hired very experienced sushi chefs and allowed them to create (Kenny’s Lobster Roll, Florence Roll) and she has expanded the hours to include daily lunch and happy hours and weekend happy hours that run from noon to 7 p.m. There’s little doubt you’ll find a strawberry sushi roll - comprised of shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado, snow crab, spicy mayonnaise and strawberries, and topped with a sweet sauce and sesame seeds-anywhere else. Couple this “dessert sushi” with a ginger martini from the bar and you’re in Hama heaven.
PAGE 18 THE ARGONAUT September 26, 2013
The strawberry sushi roll is one of the original delicacies being created at the venerable Windward Circle restaurant.

C
ontrary to conventional thought, the Westside has an abundance of delicious pizza riches. The choices, in fact, are
myriad. However, for that fat slice of Manhattan-style pizza, Joe’s Pizza may hold the best hand. Open into the wee hours (midnight on week nights, 3 a.m. on weekends) and smack in the middle of that part of downtown Santa Monica where locals and tourists collide, the nononsense shop, not even a block away from the beach, offers the kind of savory, cheesy slices East Coast transplants write home about. You may struggle to secure a table in this tight little space, but at least you’ll be well-rewarded… by the slice.
A heavenly slice of New York-style Neapolitan from the Broadway-based pizzeria.

hey say you’ve got to kiss many frogs before you find Mr. or Ms. Right. Well, you’re on your own searching for amphibians, but we know there’s no shortage of reptiles at Brennan’s Pub, where turtle racing has been a Thursday night tradition since the venerable pub opened in 1972 (only a few years after the creation of Marina del Rey itself). Here’s the deal: there’s a large circle painted on the ground on the back patio. Just before 9 p.m., you can buy a beer, find a seat on the bleachers, and then cheer on your favorite little green
guy like a maniac. The turtle that exits the circle first, wins. (Since they’re turtles, this, of course, might take a while.) And please, this is California, not Nevada, so no wagering! Of course, there are other reasons to hit Brennan’s beyond rooting on Speedy, Sparky or Flash: The pool table, dartboard, and the live entertainment, featuring such acts as 1970s tribute band Dazed ‘N’ Confused (Sept. 28), pop singer Doña Oxford (Oct. 19), Jack Daniel’s Comedy Classic every Monday at 8 p.m., and The Mandrakes, Brennan’s house band, every Thursday night.

FDA approved Joint Fluid Therapy restores the body’s natural lubricants within the knee joint. As osteoarthritis occurs, knee cartilage slowly deteriorates and joint fluid loses its shockabsorbing qualities. Performed under ultrasonic guidance with hyaluronate, Joint Fluid Therapy delivers targeted medicine to worn out cartilage. This brief, in-office injection often relieves pain and restores function naturally without the need for major surgery.

Best place to run the wind through your hair Drybar
4712 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey; 310-844-0686; thedrybar.com
L
et’s be honest: men are not going to get this one, but the ladies understand. It’s a salon, but not exactly. No haircuts at Drybar, just a place that blow-dries your hair to perfection. Savvily marketed, Drybar has a menu of $35 blow-outs named after cocktails: the Cosmopolitan (“loose curls”), the Manhattan (“sleek and smooth”A, the Mai Tai (“messy, beachy”), the Straight Up (“simple and straight”), and the Southern Comfort (“big hair, lots of volume”). Pop-ins welcome, wash included. Famously, the line of celebrities who have either frequented or invested in this chain is nearly as long as the wait to get a blow dry: Rose McGowan, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Cindy Crawford,
Emma Roberts, Zooey Deschanel, Maria Shriver and Nicky Hilton are among the big names endorsing Drybar. “We want to be the Starbucks of hair,” said company spokesperson Hilary-Chan Kent. With locations all over California and nationwide, Drybar is well on its way. But don’t take their word for it. Ask customers of the Marina del Rey Drybar such as Jenny C., who gushed on Yelp: “This place is so much fun! The stylists are friendly and great with their service. Really, I just love sitting at this place. The bright yellow and white decor. The TV playing my favorite silly girl movie. The mimosas that sit in front of you. The iPod docks or iPhone chargers if your juice is low. I mean, for an hour of $35 pampering, what more can you ask for?”

Best spot to likely rub elbows with a billionaire cartoonist Hi De Ho Comics
1431 Lincoln Blvd., Santa Monica; 310-394-2820; hidehocomics.com
B
ack in 1976, when Hi De Ho Comics opened in Santa Monica, comics’ direct market was nascent and the shop even predated Hollywood’s Golden Apple Comics. Although owners Saleem Aaron and Cory Ives bought the venerable comic book shop from founding owners Mark and Bob Hennessey a few years back, the young owners grew up patronizing the place back when it was located on Santa Monica Boulevard at Sixth Street. Hi De Ho has gone through a few changes under Aaron’s and Ives’ watch. The store moved in 2010 to a much bigger space on Lincoln, and they beefed up programming at the shop to include game and comedy nights, film festivals and parties with authentic taco makers. The cherry on the sundae is that the
Hennesseys have continued to help run the shop since selling it, so between the current owners and the Hennessey Bros. on hand, there is always a wealth of knowledge in-house come Wednesday. Centrally located in downtown Santa Monica, Hi De Ho has its share of celebrity customers, most notably Matt Groening, creator of “Futurama” and “The Simpsons,” who has been buying comics there since he lived in the Venice Canals. With no real comics shop in Malibu (Groening’s current address) and his Bongo Comics (publisher of titles based on his TV shows) walking distance from Bergamot Station, Hi De Ho continues to be Groening’s neighborhood store. If it’s good enough for Groening, one of the most successful cartoonists alive, you should be able to find what you’re looking for, too, right?
Bob Hennessey poses with Gumby at a November 2010 comic book signing at the Santa Monica business he co-founded with his brother Mark Hennessey (not pictured) in 1976.

Editor’s Pick Best makeover for your bike:
Performance Bicycle, Santa Monica 501 Broadway, Santa Monica; (310) 451-9977; performancebike.com/santamonica
S
ooner or later, even your bike could use a makeover from the typical wear and tear, those many miles of the rubber hitting the road or from the dust and cobwebs formed while in storage during the colder months. Just like a car needs a good oil change or tune-up once in a while to keep it in top performance shape, so does your favorite two-wheel ride. Even a mishap or two like a popped tire will
have your bike aching for a fix-up. When these services are needed, look no further than Performance Bicycle in Santa Monica. With a very own maintenance area steps away from the sales floor, this shop will gladly take your bike in for a repair. Whether it’s new tires or a tuneup, the friendly staff are at your service and could have your two-wheeler looking all healed rather quickly depending on the type of maintenance.
Performance Bicycle in Santa Monica is a go-to shop for your bicycle needs, whether it’s for a tune-up, new tires or other maintenance.

Best 9-hole wonderland Penmar Golf Course
1233 Rose Ave., Venice; 310-396-6228
O
f all the public golf courses in the city of Los Angeles, very few are as convenient and well-suited for a few hours on the links as Penmar Golf Course. At 9 holes, this course, which opened in 1962, is just the right size for a game that won’t take up your whole day and will let you test out your swing before heading off to the more advanced courses. You don’t need to be any Tiger Woods to step on this turf, and in fact,
you might be paired with some other players around your skill level, which could be a good conversation topic as you move from hole to hole. Penmar is situated under the flight path of Santa Monica Airport, making for good views of planes taking off, and its proximity to the ocean allows for a cool breeze, a nice addition to your round especially during the summer. If you have some time before teeing off, head into the café for one of the best grilled hot dogs around.
Penmar Golf Course in Venice is a well-situated and convenient course on the Westside to test out your golf game for 9 holes.

Best place to live out your hoop dreams near the sand Basketball court at Dockweiler State Beach Playa del Rey
T
his partially hidden gem of concrete just off the beach in Playa del Rey allows hoopsters to enjoy the feel of the ocean while driving for a twisting, Tony Parker-like layup, pulling up to enjoy a Kobe Bryantesque 18-foot dagger or showing off your
playmaking skills. This court combines the best of Southern California: sand, sun and hoops. Due to its location, it doesn’t attract a lot of visitors, so don’t worry about who’s got next. Just lace ‘em up and watch the sand.
The basketball court on Dockweiler State Beach is an ideal spot for players to get their LeBron James on.

DUCK Familes frequent the Venice Canals and other areas near the beach.
Editor’s Pick
Best place to see traffic light-obeying duck families Venice Canals
S
eeing a family of ducks swim in a lake or pond is not unusual. But watching them waddle along a bike path or even crossing the street as a family unit is another thing. Near the Venice Canals, families of ducks often go for a leisurely swim before they do things that ducks do in a beachside community. One of them seems to be crossing busy city streets.
Ca$h Lawn in your
LADWP will pay you to remove your healthy grass and go California Friendly®! In place of water-thirsty and high maintenance turf, put in California Friendly® plants, mulch and permeable pathways to save money while conserving water. Residential customers can receive up to $2 per square foot of healthy turf removed. Commercial customers can get $1 per square foot.

Best Of the Westside
A family of these yellow featheredclad Venice residents was once seen waddling along near the corner of South Venice Boulevard and Pacific Avenue, mom and dad with little ones in tow. As they approached the corner, the light was red and believe it or not, the ducks waited until the light turned green before crossing the street. So there you have it: Venice ducks are also good pedestrians.

Wildly popular Abbot Kinney Festival returns to Venice Sept. 29 By Michael Aushenker Imagine you’re standing in front of the Brig in Venice, you look west toward Main Street and all you can see is a sea of people extending down Abbot Kinney Boulevard for as far as the eye can see. Come this weekend, you won’t have to imagine it. Reality hits on Sunday, Sept. 29 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. when the Abbot Kinney Festival returns for its 29th year. If you live on the Westside, you likely know that the last Sunday of September sees the return of this revered local tradition since 1984; a day-long celebration packed with live music, food stands, art kiosks and about 150,000 neighbors and visitors - young singles, older folks and families alike. Organized and produced by the Abbot Kinney Festival Association (AKFA), a nonprofit organization with the sole goal of raising funds through the festival to reinvest back into the Venice community, the Abbot Kinney Festival has become a leading promoter of the
beachside enclave’s uniqueness and creativity. According to the association, more than $275,000 in proceeds has been invested into the community. In addition, there is the association’s Spirit of Venice Awards, handed out to individuals in creative and athletic fields as well as civic leaders. This year’s honorees: (posthumous) former Venice Boys & Girls Club Youth of the Year Oscar Duncan, Michael “Rocky” Stenger, Carol Tantau of Just Tantau and the Venice Sign on Windward Avenue. The “Spirit of Venice” ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. at the Andalusia stage. Past recipients have included Lynn Warshafsky and Jim Hubbard of Venice Arts; artists Tibor Jankay and Earl Newman; poet Fred Dewey of Beyond Baroque; Electric Lodge founder Joel Shapiro; pro skateboarder and Dogtown skate park co-founder Jesse Martinez; community advocates Betsy Goldman, Ivan Spiegel, and Diane Bush; and retired LAFD Inspector Mike Neeley and
About 150,000 people are expected to attend the 29th annual Abbot Kinney Festival on Abbot Kinney Boulevard.
LAPD senior lead officer Heidi Llanes. Also featured is a Kids Quad, on Westminster Avenue Elementary School’s campus at 1010 Abbot Kinney Blvd., which will include a pavilion where families can dance and sing along to children’s music, play games and create art. Activities planned at the quad for this year will include creating healthy snacks with Chef Gino, children’s gardening by Little Saplings, jewelry-making and tutu-crafting sessions, petting zoos and pony rides. A
designated Tot Lot will feature specialized programming and activities for the festival’s youngest visitors. Indirectly, the festival celebrates the legacy of Venice founding father and architect Abbot Kinney. The New Jerseyborn developer had a passion for arts and culture that he tried to express in his Venice of America project, a recreation of Venice, Italy set in Los Angeles. Opened on July 4, 1905, Venice, Calif. (which did not become a part of Los Angeles until 1925) featured a system of circular driveways,
gazebos and gondola-ready canals to emulate the Italian city, but, moreover, it reflected Kinney’s hunger for a major cultural Mecca. Kinney might have been proud to witness today’s Venice, which has become the epicenter of all things eclectic and eccentric as well as a progressive arts- and culture-driven community - all of which will be on full display at the Sept. 29 festival.

Let’s GLOW crazy!
The third version of Santa Monica’s signature nocturnal cultural event begins on Sept. 28
GLOW at the Santa Monica Pier, which returns on the evening of Sept. 28, has quickly become one of Santa Monica's biggest cultural events.
By Michael Aushenker Santa Monica will be a-GLOW with art as the third incarnation of the city’s signature nocturnal cultural event will transpire beginning at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28 and continuing until 3 a.m. The event is free and open to the public, with readily accessible bike valet available. Organizers liken GLOW to Santa Monica itself, representing “a union of technology, creativity and natural splendor.” Based on previous installments, organizers
are expecting approximately 150,000 people, which will, for one night at least, double Santa Monica’s population, making GLOW one of the world’s largest public art events. Originally inspired by “Nuit Blanche” in Paris, GLOW is a massive pop-up art happening still in its infancy. This year, the city of Santa Monica commissioned several artists, mostly from Los Angeles, to create 15 interactive art projects to activate the iconic Santa Monica Pier and its surrounding
beach. For a single night, this section of Santa Monica will be transformed into one massive outdoor museum, where representatives of the city promise art will exist not “just to be seen, but to be experienced.” “GLOW is a demonstration of Santa Monica’s profound commitment to the arts and its willingness to break the mold,” says Jessica Cusick, manager of the city’s Cultural Affairs Division. “The city, residents, and businesses all come together to make GLOW possible for the (Continued on next page)

benefit of the community and visitors.” Keynote artists enlisted this year include Mathieu Briand, Janet Echelman, Glenn Kaino, Rebecca Mendez and Victoria Vesna. “There are fewer artworks this year than in years past - 15 instead of 20 - but we are excited that they are larger in scale,” Cusick said. “Truly appropriate to the natural grandeur of Santa Monica Beach.” Briand’s 6:43 will precede the event’s official 7 p.m. launch at the exact time at which the sun will descend below the horizon. This large-scale installation will employ shipping containers
arranged on the beach in templelike fashion, surmounted by a ring of fire. Echelman’s The Space Between Us will take advantage of the sky and the sand, employing one of her signature, custom-made nets. Kaino’s Well, alluding to the magical properties of a wishing well, has its magic rooted in biology, with rare bioluminescent liquid harvested for this installation by a marine biologist at the Scripps Institute of Technology at UC-San Diego. Attendees will be allowed to approach the well, and tossing coins into it will generate a glow. Boyer’s Colorfields is

described as “a live, interactive video creation that converts the behavior and movement of GLOW participants into fields of color and light.” This particular piece of art is a crowd-sourced work that allows participants to use an app with video-processing technology to synchronize locations and translate the information into specific colors onto hand-held devices and a website, reflecting changes as people move around. A large-scale video projection will display the field of users and colors. A free custom app can be downloaded at colorfield.org. Speaking of “apps,” KCRW has created an audio guide hosted by KCRW DJs. The app also features each artist discussing their work, and music for the
GLOW journey. This soundscape is available for download at kcrw. com/glow. This year’s GLOW will also cater to the physically challenged. “This will be our most accessible GLOW ever,” Cusick said. “We have put a special effort into making sure everybody can enjoy GLOW to the fullest, working with an accessibility consultant and the city’s Disabilities Commission to ensure all of the works are accessible, by placing them closer to the bicycle path and using a product called Mobi-Mat on the sand.” Cusick and her team believe that the event and the spirit of Santa Monica have, in a few short years, become
synonymous. “GLOW resonates with Santa Monicans because it is truly a reflection of our community,” Cusick said. “We are a community of artists (43 percent of our residents make their living in the arts) of innovators (the new Silicon Beach), and people who are truly passionate about the natural environment and the beach. GLOW brings all of those elements together in a new way, transforming, for just one night, Santa Monica Beach into a magical wonderland of thoughtful, interactive art.” Information, glowsantamonica.org. § Michael@ArgonautNews.com
Make your GLOW badge – In addition to all of this GLOW activity, Isa Naomi Okuyama at the city of Santa Monica’s Cultural Affairs Division has helped establish GLOW-related classes at 1405 Ocean Ave. in Santa Monica. In “Oh, the Places You’ll GLOW!,” participants can assemble their own IR interactive microcontrolled LED-lit badge that will double as a ticket to a special secret tour of GLOW.
The workshop, taught by Naim Busek and Steve Goldstein of Culver City-based Crashspace, includes soldering, assembly and an overview of the badge’s programming. Taking the finished badge to GLOW activates a treasure hunt of invisible infrared coded signals transmitted from beacons located at hidden spots throughout the GLOW site. Each coded signal will “unlock” a new LED light pattern. The
more signals a badge is exposed to, the more vibrant the badge’s LED patterns will grow. The class will take place from 7-10 p.m. Sept. 26. A bonus class has been added on Saturday, Sept. 28 from 11a.m.2 p.m. (before GLOW begins later that day). Cost: $35 for the class plus a $25 material fee. (Crashspace members: $10 off.) For more information on the classes, (310) 458-2239.

RETOUCH & CUT
Michaels said this new incarnation of The Supplement plans to play a mix of old tunes and songs from the upcoming LP (due in December), which Michaels described as “classic rock-based but heavy back to our Detroit, blues-influenced rock.” “Heroes,” a self-empowerment anthem, is a Supplement standard while “Avalanche,” off the upcoming, still-untitled album, is “a basic meet-a-girl with a Jimi Hendrix twist,” Michaels said. One Supplement song that has resonated with the group’s devotees is “To the Mourning,” dedicated to late Mar Vista fan Jay Corry, who passed away in his mid-50s from cancer. The Supplements hope that success will taste sweeter the second time around and they expect to enjoy themselves at TRiP this week.

blasts of defiance and the return of SoCal punk” while a Hybrid Magazine writer referred to Supplement as “this intersection of ‘70s hard rock and punk is always a treat and never fails to make me appreciate the punk lineage that traces from The Clash, to Social Distortion, to Rancid, to Green Day, and on into the Top 40.” Then came the body blow: just before the first CD’s release, Dano fled California under circumstances that Michaels won’t talk about. By 2012, the group was all but disbanded, despite some solid acclaim. Somehow, The Supplement sallied forth, writing material into 2013, when Supplement’s leader and main songwriter Michaels re-connected with fellow Detroit native Gyselinck and brought him aboard. Michaels recently spoke with The Argonaut from Pacifica, a facility by La Cienega and Venice boulevards known as Bad Religion’s old recording studio. He said that he has known fellow Motor City musician Gyselinck for more than a decade and the timing was right to bring in the singer, who, at times, can sound like The Cult’s Ian Astbury or Guns ‘N’ Roses’ Axl Rose. “He can do a lot of different rock styles (while maintaining their punkish roots),” said Michaels, who is excited about his group’s big return. “I’ve been in a ton of bands. If you get the right people, it’s like a brotherhood. Things are easy. When it’s with the wrong people, it’s like a bad marriage and there’s a lot of wasted energy. I’m really proud, really happy. We have no drama.”

By Michael Aushenker In the 2012 blockbuster “Skyfall,” when renegade MI6 agent Silva asks James Bond if he has any hobbies, steely Daniel Craig, as 007, spits back: “Resurrection.” The Supplement can relate. At 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27 at TRiP, 2101 Lincoln Blvd. in Santa Monica, the punk outfit returns for a blast of punk fury featuring new vocalist Chris Gyselinck. This will be the first Supplement show in two years after the band suffered a detour nearly derailing the local group. Formed in early 2011, The Supplement features exBombshell members Brian Michaels on guitar, Paul Ensley on bass, and drummer Greg Yocum. In addition to Southern California punk outfits from the early 1980s, their music has been influenced by Michaels’ and Gyselinck’s Michigan youth, most notably seminal proto-punk outfits MC5 and Iggy Pop and the Stooges. As The Supplement gained momentum a couple years back, they recorded their self-titled release with original vocalist Dano, formerly of Never Ready, in Los Angeles, in-between playing shows with such highprofile punk and post-punk acts as Fear, TSOL, The Dwarves, Cro Mags and Generators; mostly American punk groups. (Punk rock originated in England in the mid-1970s, in a reaction to the economic strife there, where it was most famously represented by the Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Damned). All was going well for The Supplement. Performer magazine highlighted the group’s “short

Q&A
We want to make our new home energy efficient. Is there a credit we can obtain for doing this? The federal government wants to encourage homeowners to make their homes as energy efficient as possible. To do so, back in 2005, Congress enacted a tax credit for “nonbusiness energy property.” This was a tax credit (subject to a $500 lifetime cap) for certain energy efficiency improvements to a taxpayer’s existing principal residence. The credit expired at the end of 2011, but was brought back from the dead by the fiscal cliff tax deal back in February. It was made retroactive to apply to 2012 and then expire at the end of 2013. So, if you haven’t used up your lifetime $500 limit already, 2013 could be your last chance to do so. You may claim a credit of 10 percent of the cost of certain energy-saving property that you added to your main home. This includes the cost of qualified insulation, windows, doors and roofs. You can claim no more than $200 in total credits for doors. You can also obtain the credit if you install specified types of “qualified residential property.” You can get a credit equal to the full cost of the equipment up to the following caps: • Advanced main air circulating fan: $50 • Natural gas, propane or oil furnace or hot water boiler with an annual fuel utilization rate of 95 or
greater: $150 • Electric heat pump water heater with an energy factor of at least 2.0: $300 • Electric heat pump that achieves the highest efficiency tier established by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency: $300 • Central air conditioner that achieves the highest efficiency tier established by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency: $300 • Natural gas, propane or water heater that has either an energy factor of at least 0.82 or a thermal efficiency of at least 90 percent: $300 • Biomass stoves that use “plant-derived fuel available on a renewable or recurring basis, including agricultural crops and trees, wood and wood waste and residues (including wood pellets), plants (including aquatic plants), grasses, residues and fibers”: $300 Such property must meet certain energy efficiency requirements for you to qualify for the credit. For purposes of taking the credit, you can rely on a manufacturer’s certification in writing that a product is qualified residential energy property. Do not attach the certification to your return. Keep it for your records. This week’s question was answered by Linda Black, Coldwell Banker Marina/Venice, (310) 804-6432.
