Listen to the Bosses

Ale Fellow, Well Met

The Arab world must give up their terrorizing culture of hate for peace with the Western world, Israel, and Jews worldwide.

Americans have expressed to the government that we want to stand with Israel. President Obama needs to listen to his â&#x20AC;&#x153;bosses,â&#x20AC;? the American people.

I was thrilled to see an article about the tradition of brewpubs in our areaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;until, that is, Richard von Busack tried to draw a distinction between beer and ale (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beer Here Now,â&#x20AC;? Bars & Clubs, June 10).

Richard, Richard, Richard.

Beer is the broader category. Ales and lagers are the two main types of beer. (There is a third: lambic.)

Ale is the older style; it uses topfermenting yeast, is best served at room temperature, and is typically found in the British Isles and U.S. brewpubs. Among the types of ales are pale ale, porters, and stouts.

Lager uses bottom-fermenting yeast and is served cold. It originated in Germany, but is now found all over the world. The major American beers (Bud, Miller, Coors) are all lagers. Among the types of lagers are pilsners and Marzens.

Von Busackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most egregious statement: â&#x20AC;&#x153;barley wine is a beer, not an ale.â&#x20AC;? Actually, barley wine is both.

I suggest he study the following: http://beer.about.com/od/beerstyles/ a/BeerStyles101.htm. Until then, stick to movie reviewing.

Budget Heartbreak I was appalled and heartbroken when I heard about the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest proposed budget.

There will be teacher layoffs and larger class sizes if schools lose billions of dollars. Talented students may be unable to attend college if the Cal Grant program is axed. About 70,000 abused and neglected children will suffer if

$200 million is cut from foster care programs.

Lawmakers must do everything possible to minimize the severity of these cruel cuts. Simply saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? to new taxes isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a budget solution; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cop-out.

The budget must look at the services we all need and how to pay for them. Californians need a balanced budget solution that includes new revenue.

Ghost World Thanks for the story (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ghost,â&#x20AC;? Cover Story, June 3).

Robert [Guerrero] is a total class act and is taking a bad rap from the commentators at HBO regarding the last ďŹ ght. I never doubted â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ghostâ&#x20AC;? would reach the promised land, even before he made his pro debut in Monterey at the Riot at the Hyatt.

When Mayor Chuck Reed released his budget message last week, one of his cost-cutting measures (â&#x20AC;&#x153;efficienciesâ&#x20AC;?) was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Change in the Downtown policing model.â&#x20AC;? Soâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;looks like the adoption of Lt. McGradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Club Cop,â&#x20AC;? Bars & Clubs, June 10) will do more than help downtown survive and heal SJPDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also save the city money.

Way to go Chuck, Larry and Chief Davis. While SJPDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critics are being attacked, you guys were willing to listen to what they were saying and make some changes.

J!Tbxzpv Badge Prude Thanks to you, I have the grumpiest and unďŹ&#x201A;attering picture for an ID badge out of all the employees. How was I supposed to know that the dress code here looked down upon anything remotely ďŹ&#x201A;attering and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;God forbidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; . . . with style. So what, my rufďŹ&#x201A;e blouse was sleeveless.

That does not give you the right to tell me â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You better put on that sweaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for my picture, alluding to my shoulders, which were apparently baring just way too much â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;skin.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Er, eh hem! â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You better?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This is 2009, lady.

The Cambrian Era

I

WAS recently invited back to one of the precincts that defined a good portion of my youth—those retail monstrosities occupying the legendary intersection of Camden and Hillsdale in Cambrian Park. Local sign maker Jere Avila has just given the hookah room at Blunt’s Tobacco Shop a new intergalactic paint job, which is best viewed in 3-D using ChromaDepth® glasses. I advise you to check it out. It’ll take you to a different planet.

Of course, returning to that area jarred some childhood memories, which forced me to do some soul-searching. You see, 25 years ago, this same beloved strip mall housed a defunct porno theater, the Cambrian Twin, plus a weird place called the Grecian Health Spa and one of the first Liquor Barn franchises, a pre-BevMo storehouse specializing in potent potables from around the globe.

In the mid-’80s, the theater reopened as a 75-cent nonporno establishment called the Hillsdale Twin and soon became the stomping ground for punk rockers, thrash-metal dudes or anybody beyond the pale of mainstream. If you grew up in that part of town, there was absolutely nothing else to do, so we just went to the theater and saw Re-Animator time and time again. Next door sat a Chinese fast-food place left over from the porno theater’s tenure, aptly titled Fook Hing.

Even better was when Liquor Barn first opened. I remember walking through the aisles as a teenager, often staring for lengths of time at the varieties of booze from all over the world—the rums, the whiskeys, the beers, the wine, everything. It felt like an exotic, far -away place I had never visited—(all they sell is booze!)—and I opened up like a flower whenever I walked into that store. The entire world was there to greet me. The missing exotic half of myself instantly emerged. Although BevMo franchises eventually sprouted up across the landscape like weeds, nothing can replace the pure exoticism of the original Liquor Barn stores. Cambrian Park in the mid-’80s was textbook suburban-wasteland America, and for me Liquor Barn was a hall pass to get out.

Everything on that stretch of Camden/Hillsdale just sort of blended together like raw sewage into one gigantic strip mall. Cask & Flask Liquors was then and still is a fixture at Camden and Leigh. While in high school, I worked there as a stock boy—one of those hurry-up-and-wait jobs where you replenished shelves for 45 minutes and then did absolutely nothing for an hour. Stock, dust, sweep, sit, walk around, vegetate, fidget and then repeat—drudgery the likes of which would drive even the most assiduous employee completely bonkers. Every stock boy who worked there pilfered bottles at one time or another.

An old drunk lived down the street, Cambrian Park in the and it was my job to deliver a fifth of mid-’80s was textbook Canadian Mist to the guy at least twice suburban-wasteland a week. He was a regular, so they didn’t America, and for me mind making house calls. He’d phone for another bottle, and I’d bag it up Liquor Barn was a and tromp down Leigh Avenue to his hall pass to get out home. He would then give me a $20 tip. That was my job at 17: running booze to an alcoholic down the street.

On a sweeter note, by far what defined the childhoods of many was Gemco—the quintessential pre-’90s one-stop discount department store, located where Target is now. Just like Costco, Gemco was membershipbased; you had to flash your card upon strolling through the entryway. Kids were required to enter with their parents, and just about every aspiring teenage prankster alive tried to sneak in by randomly following behind an adult and pretending to be that person’s kid. It was easy.

Gemco had it all: A dive snack bar, a sporting-goods section, electronics, appliances, a watch repairman older than dirt, a pharmacy with a separate entrance and a book section in the front corner, which is where I would usually hang out while my parents were shopping. Many folks would just dump their kids in the snack bar, but I always preferred the book section.

I thank Mr. Avila for reconnecting me with such convoluted times, and I especially want to thank all my friends on Facebook who chimed in with their own twisted memories of the Hillsdale Twin.

CNN Debates Twitter’s Relevance, Ignores World Events Over the weekend CNN’s Howard Kurtz asked America the burning question, “Are we going overboard with this Twitter business?” Meanwhile, CNN virtually ignored an event overseas with the potential to alter world history, an event reported extensively by Twitter users.

NO NEWS VS. GOOD NEWS !

On Saturday, as things turned from bad to worse in Iran as thousands of protesters took to the streets in anger to revolt against the sham election in that country, CNN, a cable news network that rose to prominence largely because of its reporting of strife in foreign lands, was virtually silent about the uprising on television and on the web. As pointed out by ReadWriteWeb’s Marshall Kirkpatrick, “hours after Iranian police began clashing with tens of thousands of people in the street, the top story on CNN.com remains peoples’ confusion about the switch from analog TV signals.”

CNN’s lack of coverage of the burgeoning revolution in Iran and the highly questionable re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, arguably America’s leading bogeyman at this moment in time, didn’t go unnoticed on Twitter, where the hashtag “#CNNFAIL” spread like wildfire and was one of the site’s trending topics for a large portion of the day. —THE CAJUN BOY, VALLEYWAG .GAWKER.COM

Attack of the Gadfly Former Los Gatos Town Council member launches a last fight against Town Hall By Jessica Fromm ITH a public career on the Los Gatos Town Council marked by controversy and open hostility toward his fellow councilmembers, Steve Glickman now seems to want to retire from politics with as much tumult as possible.

As the main financial backer of two initiatives currently being floated, Glickman has caused tempers to flare around the idyllic community. Citizens are picketing at the Farmers Market, and shouting at Town Council meetings about him and his initiatives.

Glickman says he’s “kind of cleaning up some unfinished

business” with his initiatives, each of which seem custom made to provoke a ruckus. One would institute term limits on his former council colleagues, and the other would force a delay in the building of a longawaited and widely supported new library.

Glickman is taking it quite personally, insisting that he is being targeted. “There are people in the town do not think well of me, and some of this is a visceral dislike of me,” he says. “It’s just an excuse to attack me, because they truly, deeply hate me.”

Glickman officially retired from public life last December with a

surprise announcement that he was giving up the council seat he’d held for eight years. Still, he sees it as his duty to follow up on the two scourges he’d railed against on the dais: “monument building” and the “insurmountable power of council incumbency.”

While he is backing both ballot initiatives financially, he says that only the one that purposes term limits was his idea. He says the other, much more controversial initiative, which proposes limits on capital spending on projects that cost more than $7 million without voter approval, was brought to his attention by supporters in the community.

According to Los Gatos Mayor Mike Wasserman, the only project that could ever be impacted by that ballot measure is the new library project, because the town has no plans to ever engage in a project of that size. However, the library is not mentioned in the initiative that Glickman wrote.

“What is irritating and angering people,” Wasserman says, “is that when they wrote up the initiative, it didn’t say that this will apply to the new library, and that project has been in the works for several years.” Glickman, however, believes the library is the tip of an iceberg—a plan to build a massive civic center.

The fight has been taken to the streets with a series of public clashes between library supporters and the paid signature-gathers Glickman has hired to collect the 1,871 registered voter signatures needed to place the measure on the ballot. Steve Pinney, manager of Lunardi’s Supermarket, was involved in an incident involving the petitioners three weeks ago.

Pinney says they misrepresented themselves when they asked for permission to collect signatures in front of his store.

“The gentlemen came into the store and asked me if I minded if he set up a table to register voters, and I told him that would be fine, knowing that he has a constitutional right to do that anyway,” Pinney says.

“Then about an hour later . . . this gentleman is asking people to sign petitions. I had no idea that there were petitions involved.”

Evidence on YouTube Library supporters say the petition gatherers are lying to citizens as well. To prove it, one videotaped a conversation he had with a man collecting signatures at the downtown Farmers Market.

on YouTube, shows one of the petitioners, who knew he was being filmed, making statements that go from vague to flat-out false.

When asked if the initiative will affect the library, the man dances over the question, saying yes, then no, mumbles something about term limits, then says the petition only deals with shopping centers.

“That’s a whole bunch of politics; ... propaganda,” the man says, adding that the petition has nothing to do with the library.”

“So I can sign this, and our library still gets built?” says the video taker. “Yes, yes,” says the signature gatherer, looking away nervously.

A library supporter named Donn Waters brought the You Tube video to the June 15 Town Council meeting. Showing the video live, he called on the council to stop “renegades of malcontent [that want] to derail the building of our new library.”

Waters went on to ask for Glickman’s petition permit to be withdrawn for “illegal activities” and for him to be punished.

After Waters spoke, Los Gatos Town Manager Greg Larson said that inappropriate campaign behavior and misinformation can be criminally investigated by the district attorney’s office, and he asked for any evidence of such activity to be reported to the Police Department.

Glickman, who has seen the YouTube video, said that he has fired that particular paid signature gatherer.

Furthermore, he alleges that his paid petition gathers have been physically assaulted and robbed. According to a police report, one of Glickman’s paid petitioners was collecting signatures at the Los Gatos Safeway on Pollard Road. She was asked to leave by the manager after a costumer complained she was harassing patrons. As the woman was walking back to her car, she says, the customer who had complained came up behind her and grabbed the clipboard from her hand, which contained signed petition papers.

Sgt. Kerry Harris says the police are investigating the robbery, but, without any other witnesses and no surveillance video, there is not a lot they can do to find the suspect unless more information comes forward.

The Los Gatos community has been discussing the possibility of a new library since the 1980s. The current location was built in 1964, when the population of Los Gatos was 9,000, and currently serves a population of 30,000 and has fallen into disrepair.

Surprisingly, Glickman says that he supports the building of a new public library, insisting that it’s the principle of the thing that matters. “If we put it to a vote, I encourage people to vote for a new library, but they are the ones who have to make the choice,” he says.

Since 2002 there have been six focus groups, two community forums, a design charrette and seven council meetings, as well as five specific public meetings, a community

forum and three neighborhood meetings where the new library was the only focus.

“Well, come on, the only people who came to the meetings were the Friends of the Library,” Glickman says. “Of course, the Friends of the Library have gone bananas.

They are a group of sweet little old ladies who have been dreaming of a new library for decades. Now it’s sort of within their grasp. And along comes this initiative. And they are good-hearted ladies that want a new library, and they want to build it with public money. But, you’ve got to ask.”

Wasserman says that there has already been extensive polling and public meeting to establish that the vast majority of people in Los Gatos want a new library, which will be funded by the town’s redevelopment agency.

“I have no idea why Glickman is doing this when he knows it’s not the truth,” says Wasserman. “He says, Well, I just want the people to vote on it. They already voted on it 10 times. It’s a waste of energy, it’s a waste of money.”

If Glickman manages to collect enough signatures to get his initiative on the ballot, it could delay the library project up to 12 months and cost the city $500,000, Larson says. With the possibility of $500,000 less available to build the new library, the council would have to either downscale the project to reduce the cost, or to supplement the costs with other resources, be it public money or private money.

Glickman makes no apologies for adding significant costs to the project. “People say, Oh, what about the election, that’s expensive. I say, I’m sorry, I think that is called democracy.”

Pressed, he also seems to back-pedal from his avowed support of the project, offering his opinion that the council is building the library for the wrong reasons.

“This is not just the library,” he says, “it’s their first phase of the civic center master plan. It’s monument building.”

Mayor Wasserman, however, sees everything surrounding Glickman’s initiatives as ludicrous.

“You write the ballot initiative. The only thing it applies to is the library, and yet you don’t put ‘library’ in there? Why didn’t he have the guts to say ‘Please sign the initiative if you want to put the building of a new library to the people?’ Because he would lose that,” Wasserman says. “People are signing the petition to put the initiative on the ballot under false pretenses. ... I don’t know about you, but that’s not right.”

Only time will tell if Glickman will keep his promise not to stir up the pot anymore around Los Gatos after these initiatives pass or fail, but to Wasserman, that time can’t come soon enough.

“I would have liked to see him, when he got off council, volunteer to be on a service club, a Lions or a Rotary, or maybe volunteer to be a Little League umpire.”

Wasserman says. “Instead he is causing negative vibes out there, and what does he have to gain?” M

A Man David Sedaris dishes about quitting smoking, using the Internet, being unemployed and homophobia INTERVIEW BY MOLLY ZAPP

M E T R O S I L I C O N VA L L E Y JUNE 17-23, 2009 COVER STORY

E CAUGHT up with author David Sedaris during his swing through the Bay Area this week in support of his latest book, the paperback edition of When You Are Engulfed in Flames (Black Bay Books; 336 pages; $15.99).

METRO: How’s not smoking coming along?

DAVID SEDARIS: I haven’t thought it about it for weeks. I think it’s like a lot of things—you’re just afraid of what might happen if you do it, and then you do it and think, gosh, what was I was so afraid of ? Not that I wish I quit 10 years ago or 30 years ago. It’s just that it wasn’t as difficult as I thought.

How has this affected your self-described compulsive behavior to touch things—heads, purses, briefcases, etc.?

I started doing something else. It was sort of like— almost like focusing on a muscle, and then sort of antagonizing it until you’re in great pain. I tend to favor the muscles of my legs. I can sort of walk in a way that I can lean on an ankle muscle, then I can start hobbling on one side. That’s what I do instead of smoking.

In the story ‘The Smoking Section’ from ‘When You Are Engulfed in Flames,’ you write it so that the pack-aday crowd, recent quitters, wake-andbakers and those who haven’t smoked anything since a joint 20 years ago in college can all feel like they get the joke.

[16] COVER STORY

O ur 25 t h ye

I think I’m lucky that way, because I go on these tours so often. The month of April I went to 30 cities—a city every day—no, 29; I was off on Easter. I could actually see my audience. I try to have it dark when I do the reading; I try to have it light for Q and A. When I sit down and write, I don’t know how to make those people happy.

In one row, there’s a 70-year-old woman sitting next to a Chinese couple sitting next to a 14-year-old girl with her parents sitting next to a pair of lesbians. . . .

I tend to think more of myself when I’m writing. There was something that I

wrote a couple months ago, and it made me laugh very hard. I don’t laugh at the typewriter or the computer now very often. I was laughing at a word choice.

What I’d written was so completely ridiculous, but at the heart of it was losing weight. Again, probably everyone in that row had tried to lose weight. Once that was established, I could go anywhere, but it was ultimately about drinking your own breast milk. How many people in that row had done that? I look forward to reading things out loud, and I have new things that I’m going to be reading on this tour that I’ve never read before. I look forward to that and I’ll make notes about what works and what doesn’t work.

Have you used the Internet yet?

Yes. I got email last June because I was 19

DAVID SEDARIS 16 going on my book tour, and then at the same time I had to organize a trip to Brazil for a literary festival and somewhere I was going after Brazil—it was going to be too complicated to do it over the phone, so Hugh set up an email account and showed me how use the Internet.

I think that my world that way is pretty small compared to other people’s.

I do sort of see what the fuss is about, in good ways and in bad ways. I’m glad that I didn’t have the Internet when I started writing. I started writing when I was 20 and didn’t show a word of it to anyone until I was 28. I had the sense to keep it to myself. Now the temptation with blogs and such, they’re just getting it out there; maybe it would have been best to keep it to themselves.

I’ve never Googled myself, never read anything about myself or my sister Amy I’ve never Googled myself, never read anything about myself or my sister Amy, but I know from looking on other things. . . . You can watch Billie Holiday singing “Strange Fruit,” and there will be comments, and I’m like, “Comments? You can judge her?” And on these boards, it all degenerates to “You’re a faggot!” “No, you’re a fag, not me.” Sometimes I think, “Do you honestly have an opinion of this?”

Sometimes I think it gives people a sense of power. People will comment on the veins of Madonna from their home, and I wonder, “Do you really care, or does it make you feel powerful to be at home and say crummy things about people?”

I like the trail that the Internet created.

For example, I was watching one of those Douglas Sirk movies, and I noticed that Rock Hudson towered over everyone, and I typed in “How tall was” and I saw “How tall was Jesus,” and I’m like, “Sure,” and half an hour later you’re somewhere you didn’t expect to be. It doesn’t work that same way in books, does it? Even if you have an encyclopedia, the trail isn’t that crazy. I like that aspect of it.

But I’m not on the computer now.

I don’t do that while on the phone.

Generally, if I’m on the phone, I don’t mind doing something with my hands.

Ironing is good, whittling would be fantastic (I need to pick that up again), but reading or the computer, no.

How do changes in technology, changes in the speed and ways in which people communicate and share information, affect your role as an author and entertainer?

It’s interesting to me now how you can be onstage and you can see people in the audience, you can see their lights come on and it’s their telephones, or maybe they’re tweeting or blogging. For me, especially when I’m on the lecture tour, I don’t really—I can’t control it and I can’t stop it, but I don’t want people in the next town to know what I’m going to do. I don’t want them to know what the next story is about.

I used to write people letters and didn’t really think about what was in them until they started being sold on eBay. Now I don’t write anything too juicy. I would never get onstage and say anything bad about another writer, but sometimes in talking with an audience member in the booksigning line, I would say, “Actually, I can’t stand such-and-such.” I don’t do that now, because I don’t know if they’ll blog about it.

The publishing industry is in turmoil.

Oprah is using the Kindle. Where do you see the future of the printed word going?

When they told me about the Kindle, I thought, “Yeah, right,” but I travel a lot, and now I see them on planes. Then my publisher just sent me a letter saying they’re aggressively going after these filesharing sites. I don’t know how to get free stuff on the computer. I know how to download songs on iTunes, but I don’t know how to get them for free, and I don’t want to, because then I couldn’t feel so selfrighteous about paying for them.

Generally if I’m going to buy, say, a movie, I buy it new, because if it’s used the people involved don’t get any money, and I don’t see why they should do it for no money. When a book comes out, I buy it in the bookstore. I’m happy that people get stuff out of a library, but when people come up to me and say that they got [my work] on tape and made copies for everyone they know, I think, “Why would you say that?”

Publishers are coming up with all sorts of things, coming up with these electronic book contracts they want you to sign.

Somebody sat me down for a meeting about Google books, and five minutes in, I said, “Here’s what I hear from you: meow, meow, meow.”

Many of your essays hark back to when you were younger, un- or underemployed, renting rooms, hitchhiking and otherwise fairly poor.

JUNE 17-23, 2009 M E T R O S I L I C O N VA L L E Y

DAVID SEDARIS 19 broke feel as amusing as you make them seem now?

The worst feeling on earth is being unemployed and not doing anything about it. Maybe you got the newspaper and maybe you looked through the want ads, and after you take this nap, you’re really going to call about that job, you really are. You really would have done it when you got up from the nap, but then somebody called and you rode your bike over and now it’s past 5 o’clock.

I don’t know how to get free stuff on the computer. I know how to download songs on iTunes, but I don’t know how to get them for free, and I don’t want to.

If I’m going to buy a movie, I buy it new, because if it’s used the people involved don’t get any money, and I don’t see why they should do it for no money.

When a book comes out, I buy it in the bookstore.

There’s no depression like that, that unemployed depression on the couch, that imagining, “Even if I got the job today, I wouldn’t get a paycheck for two weeks.”

When you get old you think, “I was young, you’re supposed to do that when you’re young.” It would be worse to be that way at 52. I can look back on it now and sort of make fun of myself for it. No one was worse at getting a job than me.

How has your considerable shift in wealth affected your writing and selfimage?

Opportunity changes a lot, right? To have opportunities is probably the biggest change in my life. In the past week, say, a French newspaper asked me to write something, a French magazine asked me to write something, an American magazine asked me to write something, I’m closing my story with an editor at The New Yorker, I met today with an old editor at Esquire who now works at GQ. I never could have contacted those people and said, “Could I write something?” They contacted me.

I tend to think of all the people who are much better writers than I am and don’t have those opportunities. It doesn’t make me think that I’m great or anything; it does make me think that I’m lucky.

One thing that hasn’t changed since I’ve been writing is that I haven’t tried any less. I haven’t gotten to the point when I think, “Yeah, that’s good enough.” I haven’t written anything for money. A French magazine asked me to write [what essentially added up to an advertisement].

It didn’t feel right to me. I’ve never written that way before, and I don’t really see the point, and I’m not in a position where I have to start.

Often strangers will give me their writing. This guy in Manchester, England, he worked in a bookstore where I was giving a reading, and I talked to him off and on all night. It took him a long time to admit that he wrote, and then I pestered him some more and I finally got him to agree to send me something.

It was fantastic; it was original and surprising, it was just as if he had reinvented language. I kind of knew it was going to be. Compared to people who come up and say, “‘Here’s this thing I wrote. I took a creative writing class; how do I get this published?” and I already know it’s going to be no good. It was shocking to me when I moved to New York, went to a play and half the audience had invitations for their own plays—you can see people just promoting themselves.

I was just so appalled and sickened by that self-promoting behavior. You’re going to get a lot further when it’s someone else’s idea that you’re good. Let yourself be someone else’s discovery.

What aspects of your life are off-limits to write about?

I don’t write about sex because it’s not really my subject. I love it when other people write about it, but it’s not my subject, and I don’t want anyone I’ve had sex with to write about it. Plus, you’re in front of an audience, and they picture wherever you’re writing about. I’m 52; no one in the audience wants to picture that.

write political things. I’m not an original thinker that way.

I don’t reveal other people’s secrets.

Everyone in my family has things they don’t want the world to know. I don’t write those things. I try not to write those things about everyone—things that would prevent them from getting a job.

I didn’t write about political things. Not because I didn’t feel that way, but because it felt like pandering. Say you’ve got 3,000 people in the theater. Two thousand, nine hundred and eighty voted just like I did.

It’s incredibly easy to get them to cheer, too easy. Often, they want to sit in a room and feel like they hate the same people their neighbor hates, and they want to hear John McCain being made fun of.

I just got a letter (regarding a New Yorker essay on the 2008 presidential race) saying, “I was going to come see you in Zurich, and then I read that garbage in The New Yorker. To make fun of a patriot and a soldier who gave so much to this country. . . .” But that’s not the reason that I don’t

In your essay, ‘Chicken in the Henhouse,’ you essentially wrote about homophobia, both in larger society and internalized. Comparing yourself to a straight male stranger who casually spoke with a 10-year-old boy, you wrote, ‘Because he was neither a priest nor a homosexual, he hadn’t felt the need to watch himself, worrying that every word or gesture might be misinterpreted. He could unthinkingly wander the halls with a strange boy, while for me it amounted to a political act—an insistence that I was as good as the next guy.’ That was published in 2004. How has the increased visibility of the queer rights movement in this decade, and its corresponding anti-gay backlash, changed the way you can conduct yourself in public?

[24] COVER STORY

JUNE 17-23, 2009 M E T R O S I L I C O N VA L L E Y

DAVID SEDARIS 23 That was a time when the Catholic Church was in the news. This happens when pedophilia comes up. People tend to associate it with homosexuals. I was just watching Milk on the plane—in the 1970s they were trying to get gay teachers fired—that was just a particular period when you felt paranoid, just watched very closely. But that same group of people would say, “We need to protect our children,” and yeah, you do need to protect your children from pedophiles, but not from me. And the majority of pedophiles are heterosexual anyway.

Say you’ve got 3,000 people in the theater. Two thousand, nine hundred and eighty voted just like I did. It’s incredibly easy to get them to cheer, too easy.

Often, they want to sit in a room and feel like they hate the same people their neighbor hates, and they want to hear John McCain being made fun of.

That was a period when I think every gay man I know felt particularly like he was being watched, being judged more harshly than in years. It’s amazing to me— interesting watching that movie Milk as well—just how much things have changed in my life. When I was growing up, I don’t think I believed that anyone was homosexual, that anything that bad could have befallen anyone besides me. There wasn’t anyone gay on TV, you couldn’t go to the library in Raleigh, North Carolina, and read about homosexuals, except maybe in some book on deviant behavior.

When I go on tour now, there are these college boys, and I say, “Where did you

meet?” and they say, “We’re high school sweethearts.” [Growing up], the thought that you could be [same-sex] high school sweethearts—you would have felt the need to turn that person in to the police. There’s no way you could have enjoyed yourself.

You can have those 3,000 people in the theater, and 10 percent of my audience is gay. It’s interesting to me that those other people are relating to me as a human.

When I write about [boyfriend] Hugh, they’re relating to it as a way to connect with another person. Perhaps it’s because of the way I write about it—maybe if I did write about sex, people would think, “No, I can’t relate, you’ve lost me there.” But I don’t not write about sex because I’m afraid of losing them.

Other writers who are gay are almost always referred to as ‘gay authors’ instead of ‘authors’—that is, always with the modifier. Though you often discuss your relationship with Hugh and write about coming out in your latest book, almost all articles written about you refer to you as simply ‘author’ or ‘American humorist.’ As a writer, what is the impact of being labeled or not being labeled as a ‘gay author’?

Twenty years ago, I would be in the gay section of the bookstore just because I used the word “boyfriend.” No offense, but that’s not where I wanted to be. I wanted to be with the other books: I didn’t want to be with that ghetto. It’s always interesting to see where people put my book. Sometimes somebody puts my books in the gay and lesbian section; that’s the decision of the bookstore.

Again, it doesn’t bother me in any way to be called a gay writer. I mean, I’m gay and I write. I don’t know what the difference is between a gay person who writes and a gay writer—is it just that gay writers write about sex? I don’t know, really.

Last time you were in the area, you read ‘Undecided’ from The New Yorker, where you compared the thenpresidential nominees to an airplane food selection between ‘the chicken’ or ‘the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it.’ Since his inauguration, how has ‘the chicken’ been faring so far?

I was talking about that at lunch. My dad—you can’t say anything about George Bush: George Bush never make a mistake. . . .

There are things that Obama has done where I thought he could do better, like his appointment of [Chicago political fundraiser Louis Susman as] the ambassador to the United Kingdom. But how quickly he changed the perception of Americans abroad. How quickly he improved the life of every American living overseas. People hear your accent at a store, and they give you a thumbs up: “Obama!”

It was instantaneous. M

Salon Society HEN MOST people think of serious art, they don’t think of shears, blow dryers and styling mousse. That’s exactly what Angel Llewellyn, director of the Sophisto Society for the Fashion Arts (SSFA), is trying to change. To Llewellyn and the many South Bay stylists and artists involved in SSFA, hairstyling is the ultimate in personal artistry.

Opened two months ago, the SSFA is an innovative collective of hair stylists, makeup artists, nail designers, piercers and other members of the local image industry who collaborate every week to network and share ideas. “I saw salon culture diminish since the ’80s. The artistry in our category diminished. So, I felt like we needed to start something, to start it back,” says Llewellyn. “What I’m trying to feature here is stylists, I’m creating a venue for stylists, and I want to draw them in in a positive way.”

By sponsoring educational hair shows at SSFA’s headquarters off of West San Carlos Street, Llewellyn hopes to inspire a Warhol factory sort of environment where San Jose’s stylists and artists can come together to share ideas, techniques and approaches. “It’s not everywhere you can bring in artists and go ahead and ask them questions. You can’t walk into somebody’s salon and be like “Hey!” and start chumming it up, yet alone most hair dressers don’t hang out with each other now,” says Llewellyn.

Llewellyn held her first big event at SSFA on June 8. It was an interactive technical haircutting show hosted by local celebrity stylist Paulo Candido, a former contestant or Bravo’s reality TV show Shear Genius and owner of San Jose’s Ego Mechanix Hair Salon.

Part of SSFA’s now ongoing “Motivational Mondays” series, more than 40 South Bay salon owners and stylists attended the show to watch the ever charismatic Candido show off a haircutting technique called “Beyond the Fringe.” At the show, Candido was quite the showman, demonstrating the unconventional approach to hairstyling that made him famous while spewing out jokes and answering questions at a rapid-fire rate.

Candido, who has known Llewellyn in the San Jose salon scene for years, said that he leapt at the chance to participate in SSFA. “I want people to know about this whole environment we’re creating here, this whole network of hairdressers,” says Candido. “It’s like a little tiny hair show setup. So, we don’t have to wait for those two to three times a year where it’s in New York or L.A. or wherever. We can have that show right here in San Jose with people we know and trust and respect. We can pull together, and exchange ideas, and feed off each other and inspire each other. It’s a really great thing that we’re starting.”

A Chicken On Every Plate ;Za^eZ 7j^igV\d

San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Vietnamese restaurant Com Ga Nam An ďŹ&#x201A;aps its wings with stellar chicken dishes

HEN THE Republicans promised â&#x20AC;&#x153;a chicken in every potâ&#x20AC;? if their man Herbert Hoover was elected in 1928, they could not have foreseen the clever intro the phrase would give me for my review. But a chicken in every pot is indeed what you get at San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Com Ga Nam An. Not only in every pot but in every bowl and on every plate. Chicken is all they serve. It is every a chicken loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to love.

The restaurant opened in February and took over the spot formerly occupied by Quang Da, one of Silicon Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s few central Vietnamese restaurants. I was sorry to see it go, but Com Ga Nam An is good addition to this stretch of Vietnameserestaurant-dense East Santa Clara Street. The new place now has a brighter and cheerier look. Like the menu, the dining room is clean and spare. (Confusingly, there is a Com Ga An Nam on Story Road, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not related.)

Like Quang Da before it, Com Ga Nam An specializes. Its specialty happens to be chicken. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tired of encyclopedic Vietnamese restaurant menus whose number of dishes approach triple digits. It can take a half-dozen visits to ďŹ gure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good. I much prefer places that stake out a niche and go for it.

Com Ga Nam Anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-proclaimed specialty is Hainanese chicken rice.

(Com ga means chicken rice in Vietnamese). The dish originated on the southern Chinese island of Hainan and is popular throughout Southeast Asia. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very simple: steamed chicken hacked into a few pieces, a mound of steamed rice (often enriched with chicken broth or chicken fat), some sliced cucumbers and other raw vegetables, and a few dipping sauces.

This is chicken stripped down to its essence, but I confess I ďŹ nd it hard to get excited about the concept. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just steamed chicken and rice.

Nam Anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version ($8.50) is pretty good, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what I would order.

The best part for me was the rice. It is steamed in chicken broth, which imparts a rich, pleasantly oily quality to the rice. The bowl of light chicken broth served with it is good, too.

What I would order, however, is just about everything else on the short menu. After spring rolls, pho is probably the best-known Vietnamese dish. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big fan of the beef noodle soup, but more often than not I would take instead a bowl of pho gaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;chicken noodle soup. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lighter and leaves me feeling satisďŹ ed and nourished. Nam Anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version is stellar ($7.50). Keeping with its minimalist aesthetic, the broth is light, clean and sparkling fresh. The ďŹ&#x201A;at noodles are

a few sizes smaller than linguine and reportedly delivered fresh daily. They keep their snap and vigor throughout the meal. As for the chicken, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available with or without skin. Go for the skin. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to eat it, but the fat underneath melts and enriches the already delicious broth. A squeeze of lime and a few pinches of fresh herbs and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a beautiful bowl of soup.

Pho ga is a fairly common dish, but mi ga (egg noodle chicken soup, $7.50) is less so. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made with the same broth base as pho ga but with the substitution of thin, vermicellilike egg noodles. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a subtle difference, but equally good.

Com ga nuong xa ot (grilled lemongrass chicken with rice, $7.95) is a winner, too. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ďŹ nd this dish at most Vietnamese restaurants, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a standout here. The boneless thigh meat is juicy and tender and encrusted with an aromatic, tangy crust of lemon grass. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even better dipped into the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magic red sauce.

Language is a bit of a barrier here, and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the name of the pale red condiment, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just call it magic red sauce. I wish I could buy a bottle of it.

It tastes like Sriracha with a little lime juice, sugar and rice vinegar added in.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sour, sweet and spicy all at once. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just great.

So too is the tangy green-onion

sauce served with the com ga. Then again, I really like Com Ga Nam Anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of nuoc cham, the ubiquitous Vietnamese ďŹ sh sauce/lime juice dipping sauce. Only here itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made with the addition of soy sauce or maybe black vinegar. They wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me. Whatever is in it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good.

Nam An serves two simple but good salads. Goi ga ($9.50) is the lighter of the two and my favorite.

Thinly shredded white cabbage is tossed with onion, mint leaves and chunks of steamed chicken. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the electric, lime-based dressing the makes this salad come to life. Goi ga xe phay ($12.95) is heavier on the chicken, pieces pulled off the whole bird and sprinkled with fresh Vietnamese coriander, red bell pepper slices and onions. The tangy dressing is different on this one and not quite as good as the ethereal lime on the goi ga.

I said Nam An only serves chicken.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite true. The restaurant does offer some beverages, wine and beer included. Mung bean with pandan leaf is a creamy, refreshing glass of green goodness ($2.75). I liked the fresh soy milk ($2.50), too. But the real standout is the iced coffee (cafĂŠ sua, $2.95). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet, intensely coffeeďŹ&#x201A;avored and ďŹ endishly caffeinated.

The chicken and wicked iced coffee will call me back soon. Go, Hoover!

Terroir Alert

A

LICE FEIRING is upset about terroir.

Or rather its absence. And her new book, The Battle for Wine and Love, or How I Saved the World From Parkerization (2008, Mariner Press; 288 pages; $13.95 paper), is a sassy riff on Feiringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismay with winemaking tricksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially in California, and especially since the dawn of the numerical ranking system popularized by Robert Parker Jr. in the mid-1980s.

Terroir, a tongue-bending French term for the unique space/time signature of a vineyard, is certainly the reigning buzzword in wine circles. Everybody uses the term, but few winemakers have the cojones to actually allow its natural expression. As Feiring sees it, terroir is most evident as an absence, a ghost that haunts the big, jammy, over-oaked, malolacticized, micro-oxygenated wines cranked out in the New World.

Why are these â&#x20AC;&#x153;fruit bombsâ&#x20AC;? made? Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re immediately drinkable. Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re rich and fat with ďŹ&#x201A;avorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;think Hawaiian punch with high alcoholâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and because Robert Parker Jr., the shaman of wine desirability, bestows his inďŹ&#x201A;uential imprimatur (90-plus points) on wines that are big in fruit, thick in texture and rich as syrup. Given the high ďŹ nancial stakes of the expanding market for Big Wine, others have rushed to do the same. Once Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ratings became the Big Wine gold standard, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;paradigm of a great wine shifted to one big, jammy, oaky fruit bomb and the whole industry adjusted accordingly,â&#x20AC;? Feiring complains.

On her literary way to wine wisdom, through tireless and charmingly annotated tasting, Feiring noticed the vapidity and sameness of wines made in California, mostly by graduates of the hallowed UC-Davis oenology program. Compared to the nuanced minerality of so many French wines, California oeno-entrepreneurs produced confections that blew away both the palate and the pocketbook. So, as her readable pages recount, Feiring set out to ask winemakers and educators just what the hell was happening.

She learned about oak and yeast, the two big gateway drugs to winemaking abuse.

Small, new oak barrels yielded wines whose native originsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that terroir that everybody said they really and truly wantedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;were obliterated by aromas and ďŹ&#x201A;avors of vanilla, toast, coffee and butter. More Betty Crocker than RomanĂŠe-Conti. And who knew that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designer yeasts produce such ďŹ&#x201A;avors-on-demand such as strawberry, cocoa and cherry? We learn about tannin additives and reverse osmosis to reduce alcohol, and behind-the-scenes lore about additives, enzymes and acids. By Chapter 4, I felt queasy about how much manipulation wines endure just to gratify the unsophisticated public.

When Feiring begins her chatty meetings with European winemakers, eating, cavorting and tasting, she begins to lose me. By the penultimate chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a long, selfserving and bitter â&#x20AC;&#x153;interviewâ&#x20AC;? with the villain of her book, Parker himselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Feiring has lost the coherent threads of her argument. Nonetheless, the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s richness of wine lore and revelation, even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with her purist condemnation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;jammy fruit bombs,â&#x20AC;? make it an absorbing read.

Our Man in Spain

F

OR Spanish-food lovers in Silicon Valley the pickings are pretty slim. But ?:;;G:N L:>HH hopes to change that. Weiss graduated with top honors from Mission Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitality program two years ago. He went on to Cornell Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prestigious hotel-administration program, where he has spent the past two years. He says that his education at Mission College and his experience cooking with Lion and Compass chef and mentor HI:K: 8=6C prepared him well for the rigors of the program.

Ever since he traveled to Spain several years ago, he has loved Spanish food and has aspired to open a Spanish restaurant of his own in Silicon Valley. Back when he was a student at Mission College, department head L# =6O: 9:CC>H remarked on Weissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drive and focus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised to see his name out there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very ambitious.â&#x20AC;?

Weiss is taking another step toward his goal as he heads off on a year-long scholarship to cook in Spain in August with some of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest names. The scholarship was awarded by the Exterior Cultural Ministry of Spain and is given to only 12 young cooks around the world, only two of whom are from the United States.

Weiss, 32, apparently has a knack for being in the right place at the right time.

While at Cornell, he made a connection with Spanish cooking superstar ?DH: 6C9G:H, who runs several acclaimed Spanish restaurants in Washington, D.C. Weiss spent a summer working for Andresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organization THINKfoodGROUP and things went well enough that Andres wrote Weiss a letter of recommendation that helped him win the scholarship.

While in Spain, Weiss will intern at Restaurante Adolfo with chef Adolfo MuĂąoz in Toledo and at Calima with chef Dani Garcia in Marbella. After his year in Spain and after he ďŹ nishes up his last semester at Cornell, Weiss says he wants to come back to Silicon Valley and open his Spanish restaurant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping to bring back [all my experience] when I come home,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a California boy all the way. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going anywhere.â&#x20AC;?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m holding him to it. We need more good Spanish food around here.

Jai Tanju’s ‘Skater’ wins top honors at Metro’s inaugural Photo Exhibit during South First Friday

HE VOTES have been tallied, and the people have spoken—the winner of Metro’s inaugural photo exhibit is San Jose photographer Jai Tanju for his black-and-white photograph of an unknown French skateboarder, appropriately named Skater. The theme of the first group show is “I Live Here.”

During the opening for the exhbit, which was one of many events on June 5 during South First Friday and the SubZERO festival, visitors had the opportunity to vote for the photograph they felt best fit the theme. Thirty-seven submissions from 20 artists were accepted and are on display in Metro’s new lobby gallery through the end of July.

Tanju’s winning entry, Skater, presents a vertigo-inducing bird’s-eye-view of a skateboarder in the middle of a “very stylish” backside ollie off a banked brick

wall adjacent to a San Jose State University high-rise parking structure that wraps around the corner of Tenth Street and San Fernando Avenue in downtown San Jose. This area is known by local skateboarders as “the bricks.”

With his dog Frida in tow, Tanju discussed photography, skateboarding and San Jose’s local charm. Tanju, whose passion for San Jose ignited his career as a street photographer, said that Skater embodies his deep love for the city. “When I heard the theme, I just thought of San Jose,” Tanju said. “The San Jose ‘bricks’ is a home spot, and it really reminds me of downtown.”

A skateboarder himself, Tanju said he waited 10 years to capture this image. He always met with failure because of the skatestoppers that were installed in order to prevent skateboarders from testing their skills on the structure.

A series of serendipitous events in the summer of 2003 finally allowed him to capture his prized shot. It all began when Tanju took a bicycle ride down East Santa Clara Street. He noticed a group of skateboarders piling out of a van. One of the skaters was a Frenchman whom Tanju had met years before during his travels abroad.

“They got out of the van, and I just happened to know one of them,” he recalled. “We started to talk, and they’d been going from Los Angeles to San Francisco and got off at San Jose by accident.”

Tanju invited the group to stay in his downtown home, and later he showed them “the bricks.”

“It just happened to be that one summer when I saw the French guys that somebody had taken off the skate-stoppers on this one bank,” Tanju said.

“It was weird, because that’s usually a spot where we would be

kicked out by the San Jose State police, but we ended up skating for hours that day.”

Practically a lifetime resident of San Jose (his family moved to San Jose when he was in the fourth grade), Tanju began documenting his love of the downtown area some 15 years ago after he took a semester-long photography class at West Valley College.

Tanju’s photography can be found in skateboarding magazines, a number of selfpublished books and online at Film Por Vida, a photo exchange blog (http://filmporvida.blogspot .com/) he created three years ago in order to swap photographs with friends and strangers across the globe.

Despite the age of digital cameras and photo-enhancing software, Tanju remains a purist, preferring to shoot his downtown subjects with a black-and-white ))

film camera. Tanju said it’s more satisfying to develop film by hand, and he is currently in the middle of transforming his garage into a darkroom.

Although his experiences have taken him across the country and around the world, Tanju faithfully remains in his hometown. “What always brings me back to San Jose is the people and my friends,” he explained. “I think that’s really our gem here in San Jose.

It’s not the city or any one landmark, but it’s more the people who live here. I think people love San Jose or they don’t, and I’m definitely a lover of San Jose, especially downtown.”

THE METRO PHOTO EXHIBIT runs through July in the lobby, 550 S. First St., San Jose. The theme for the next show is ‘Life in Motion’ and submissions are due July 29. See metroactive.com for details.

Mayan Bard

Arclight Rep moves â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dreamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to Mexico for Shakespeare on the Square Festival XCHANGING the traditional ivy crowns for feather headdresses and playful Elizabethan forest nymphs for mischievous Mayan jungle spirits, Arclight Repertoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shakespeare on the Square Festival production of A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream interprets one of Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular comedies through the lens of vibrant Central American culture. Though sincere in its efforts to translate the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English pleasantry into Mexican ethos, the Mayan folk themes feel more tacked on than not. The Mexican connection is primarily achieved though differences in costume choice, and with pipe music and folkloric dancing interspersed awkwardly throughout.

Of the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three worlds (supernatural, aristocratic and peasantry), the strongest and most comically pleasing by far was that of the merry band of amateur actors. Arclight presents them as a Stetson-wearing, cerveza-slewing bunch who congregate out in front of the local farmacia to practice their parts in a ridiculous version of Pyramus and Thisbe.

With his booming voice and commanding presence, Mark Gelineauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over-the-top portrayal of Bottom was thoroughly entertaining. Gelineauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comic timing as the weaver turned actor turned ass was amusing throughout, whether he was taking his role as the tragic Pyramus way too seriously or scratching his newly sprouted donkey ears while being doted on by the ďŹ ckle Tania, queen of the Ushmals (a very physical Sarah Shoshana David, ďŹ&#x201A;itting around stage, dancing and swinging her hips).

Puck, the central role of any production of A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream, is played more darkly then usual by Brittney Mignano. Her Puck hisses and spits at her dispatcher, the roughish King Oberon (GreyWolf, also double cast as Theseus), as he sends her to do his bidding, more of a spirit of chaos and vengeance than cheekiness. The diverse set who make up the group of mismatched lovers were enjoyable in their various inherently silly parts. Fiona Lawson was particularly commanding as the exasperated Helena, enthralled with the fussy Demetrius (Ravi Soundararajan), while Amy Wares presented a spoiled, almost bratty Hermia, squealing and in love with the poetically inclined Lysander (Marc Tabor).

Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story takes place in ancient Athens, but the time frame of this production seams to vary greatly in interpretation. Though the scene is supposedly set in present-day Piste, Mexico, and the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, some characters dress and act like Mayan warriors (Amazon queens inhabiting the modern Central American countryside?), some appear in traditional attire via the Mexican revolution, while others are clad in modern miniskirts and suits. The result is a confusing aesthetic mishmash of Mexican culture, which further muddles the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already complicated perception of place and time. Though acted with earnestness, the cultural and artistic identity of Mexico never quite congeals with Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of summer frivolity in this production.

The Breeders

Dave and wife Vendela lay an Eggers in Gen-X family values sitcom ‘Away We Go’

By Richard von Busack

H

ERE IS YET another movie that seeks to be the next Juno. Director Sam Mendes’ Away We Go, an on-again, off-again road picture, concerns Burt (John Krasinski), an insurance broker whose work consists of taking occasional business calls.

His mate, though not his wife, is the dour, nervous Verona (UC–Santa Cruz alum Maya Rudolph). Verona apparently has Phoebe Gloeckner’s job as a medical text illustrator.

The two are living in a semiheated single-wide trailer in order to be close to Burt’s parents. Then comes the news that Burt’s father and mother (Catherine O’Hara, Jeff Daniels) are moving; they’ll miss their grandchild’s birth and first two years of life.

Verona’s parents are both dead and can’t help. What follows is a series of sketches as these two alterna-plumed worry-birds seek nesting grounds.

They take their act to Phoenix, Tucson, Madison and Montreal. The destinations sour on them fast.

The Tucson episode, in which Verona bonds with her sister (Carmen Ejogo), exists to make the finale pay off. That’s good to remember, because it doesn’t add up otherwise.

Allison Janney plays a mad Phoenix housewife with a manic-depressive streak and copper-dyed hair, a taste for greyhound races and an afternoon snort. Her husband (Jim Gaffigan) is her scratching post, and he’s given up entirely; he mutters, “America is shit, but I guess that makes the rest of the world flies on that shit.”

Janney makes something happen in Away We Go. That happening has

been called “overacting” already, but her lancing, obscene patter gives this movie some snap. She’s a relief from Burt and Verona, two furry creatures who are the moral and physical center of this movie’s universe: the one, a moody pregnant child bearer; the other, a plaid-on-plaid goof who’s so soft-shoe that he might as well be wearing footie pajamas.

In Madison, things get angry. Burt and Verona visit LN (pronounced Ellen). She is played by Maggie Gyllenhaal as a superficially nice New Age Nazi. One the one hand, she is overprotecting her child—refusing to put him in a stroller because the boy might feel as if he’s being pushed away—on the other hand, she’s letting the toddler sleep in her bed, where he can witness his mom having sex.

Though it’s set in Wisconsin, I’ll wager that this segment is about Berkeley— co-screenwriter Dave Eggers’ home once—where it is possible to see children who are breast-fed until they have their own library card.

The natural comic payoff to this episode should be the kid’s revenge, but the kid doesn’t push back. For a movie about children coming into the world, there is not much sense of children themselves, as creatures independent of their parents. As in Mendes’ Revolutionary Road, the kids tend to stay out of the picture.

In Montreal, Burt and Verona meet up with friends raising a perfect multicolored Trapp family of adoptees. The jazz clubs and merriness of the summer-wrapped city conceal secret sadness. This sorrow is expressed

by Melanie Lynskey, who does an

interpretive pole dance to music by the Velvet Underground. Her character, Munch (odd name; Lynskey is nobody’s munchkin), delivers the film’s key line. To be a parent, she says, “You have to be so much better than you ever thought you could be.”

Away We Go gives us the Goldilocks take on raising children. Some parents are too controlling, and others are too negligent; with luck, Verona and Burt will be just right. If the film has something that resonates, it’s about the feeling of uninhabitability of America during the end of the Bush years. No surprise that Canada looks like more fun, but even Canada has its discontents: Munch’s husband selfcriticizes about having been too selfish to start a family in his 20s when his sperm was fresher or something.

That’s a variant of what the right is saying on the blogs and editorial pages: Get busy, you young girls!

The film is co-written by Vendela Vida, editor of the West Coast literary magazine The Believer, in collaboration with her husband, Dave Eggers. Their script stresses platitudes like “A family is made out of love” or “Kids need to be protected from too much information.” During a cafe scene, we get a demonstration model of syrup on sugar cubes—that’s how sweet they think a family should be.

It was thought that Eggers spoke for a generation called X—young people with great wells of feeling and yet with terrible fears of being slapped down for expressing their emotions.

Thus they wore an ill-fitting mask of cynicism, through which wide, dewy eyes were always visible. As

these aging children foal their own offspring, they fear becoming the kind of parents they’ve been lambasting in print, movies and music for more than a decade.

Eggers is a diligent author, well known for his public service work.

But underneath his transcendence is a reverse snobbery against anyone carried away with hostility or critical thinking. While the film’s hostility against Gen-X extremes in childrearing makes its point, I’m still angry about Eggers line denouncing “the screaming bumper stickers” he saw in Berkeley. Is it wrong to make some noise about the way the world is run?

Especially if you’re planning to bring new kids into it?

Then there is Mendes—a director who supervises outsized, theatrical performances. The text and the actors can sometimes support that biggerthan-life approach, as in Revolutionary Road. Unfortunately, Away We Go, a sitcom for hipsters with guest appearances by wacky relatives, may be dismissed as another dud like Revolutionary Road, which is far from a dud, and which is willing to offend with its passion and argumentative force. It was acid, not sugary. Kate Winslet’s one-way escape from the traditional life in Revolutionary Road is here replaced by a pride-of-ownership last shot in Away We Go; what’s the address, Reactionary Road?

AWAY WE GO (R; 98 min.), directed

by Sam Mendes, written by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, photographed

by Ellen Kuras and starring John Krasinski, opens June 19.

Funny Farm

In Iranian feature ‘The Song of Sparrows,’ a poor man learns about business in the city

N

OT EVERY FILM can get away with the simple view of the peasant life, such as is presented in The Song of Sparrows. The movie doesn’t dwindle into one of those tales reminding us that money just confuses poor people, who are destined to be poor. Iranian director Majid Majidi (The Color of Paradise, Baran) created this funny and appealing story of one man’s mishaps. Despite its many episodes, the film has a flow. The theme is perhaps specifically Islamic—it counsels the acceptance of whatever Allah decides to throw in your path, whether it’s a bag of gold or a stumbling block.

Fortunately, in this movie, acceptance isn’t the same thing as being blind to the difference between fate and the injustice caused by men.

The first shot is one of earth’s strangest sights: the gaping, carmine-lipped face of an ostrich. She and her fellow hens live on a ranch in the veldtlike foothills. They are bred for the egg and plume market, and they are not easy to wrangle. The straw boss Karim (Reza Najie) tries to gentle them (he calls them “pretty birds” as he feeds them), but one ostrich makes a run for it.

Karim loses his job because of the escape. Additional trouble comes when his daughter drops her hearing aid into a nearby cistern, clotted with mud and weeds. A new unit will take months to deliver, and she won’t be able to attend school until it arrives. After riding his Arshia motorcycle into the city to try to get the hearing aid repaired, Karim is mistaken for a taxi driver. Welldressed strangers with cell phones (they seem to have no problem getting their electronic equipment) plop into the seat behind him and order him around. This new gig turns out to be good money. And Karim discovers a pile of urban ore—leftover bits and pieces from construction sites, which he hauls back to his house.

The risk of this job gives the film suspense; the traffic is god-awful, and the chance of collision seems high. Sometimes, people overpay him; sometimes, they cheat him out of his fare. Karim carries items of huge fragility on the back of his precarious motorcycle; at one point, he lashes a small refrigerator to his torso. The entrepreneurial spirit overcomes him when he starts hoarding salvaged junk at his house, selfishly refusing to let his neighbors use it. Meanwhile, his children become entrepreneurs of a sort, trying to turn the muddy cistern into a goldfish farm.

This very droll movie suggests that an ostrich can be a bird of happiness— the fugitive bird is glimpsed in the neighborhood, leaving an egg or two or a feather as a sign it was there. Majidi’s kid wrangling is deft, especially in a passage that gets under your skin: watching an angelic waif waving a makeshift tin-can incense censer among the cars stuck in street traffic, as Karim debates feverishly whether or not he can spare some small change.

It’s just such little things that make this movie: the absurd arguments or the patter of a roadside fruit peddler (he butters up Karim as a man of good taste: “I love those who know the best”). One can’t argue with the picture of the poor man’s life presented here: most things get spilled, some things get saved.

Richard von Busack THE SONG OF SPARROWS (PG; 96 min.), directed by Majid Majidi, written

by Majidi and Mehran Kashani, photographed by Turaj Mansuri and starring Mohammad Amir Naji, opens June 19 at Camera 3 in San Jose.

The Proposal (PG-13; 107 min.) Sandra Bullock returns in a romantic comedy with Ryan Reynolds.

Plus (check your demographics tables here) Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson and Betty White. (Opens Jun 19.)

Sleep Dealer (PG-13; 90 min.) In the near future, Memo (Luis Fernando Pena), the son of a Oaxacan peasant, leaves for Tijuana to work for Cyberbracero, a company that sells the

virtual labor of sleepless men and women who are plugged into neural ports; they do every kind of virtual work from highsteel construction to nannying to fruit picking. Memo’s one friend in the city is Luz (Leonor Varela), a blogger who sells her memories online; she receives an inquiry about Memo from a mysterious interested party. Director Alex Rivera’s science fiction film is politically intelligent, but it has a bigger debt than Mexico itself, first to William Gibson and later to the visuals of the film Minority Report. The background is plausible and satirical-—Memo leaves his home because of the privatization of water, where a machine-gun-bearing droid sells water by the liter to starving peasants. Still, there are economies of scale we can’t really understand: Why pay $100 American to irrigate a dying milpa?

Why build a terrifically expensive robot to pick fruit, when working -class labor is more disposable than metal, servos and rotors? The witty neologisms—a group of “coyoteks” offer to drill Memo some new holes—help this overnarrated film, and the CGI is effective. And in a science fiction cinema currently dominated by transformer robots, this looks like the work of Felipe K. Ricardo, Philip K. Dick’s Latino cousin. (Opens Jun 19 at Camera 12 in San Jose).

Revivals American Madness/The Devil and Daniel Webster (1932/1941) Walter Huston plays a bank president who nearly goes down with the company after an ex-con he appointed apparently mulcts some money. An early Frank Capra comedy, bursting with populism. BILLED WITH The Devil and Daniel Webster a.k.a All That Money Can Buy. William Dieterle’s terrific YankeeExpressionist version of Faust concerns a farmer who almost loses his soul to Mr. Scratch (Huston); the hearty Edward Arnold shines as Sen. Webster, and Simone Simon is the devil’s tasty girlfriend. As good a patriotic film as has ever been made in the United States; it’s clear-eyed about our history, about the paths and wiles of great flawed men and the legacy of cutthroats. Bernard Herrmann’s score is a standout; the four-handed version of “Pop Goes the Weasel” (we all know Satan loves the violin) is reputed to be one of the first overdubbed recordings ever made.

(Plays Jun 17-18 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) Bringing Up Baby/Holiday (Both 1938) The greatest painkiller this side of a martini. With a wildcat as her familiar, Katharine Hepburn’s crazed heiress Susan stalks a beautiful fool of a paleontologist (Cary Grant) who prefers to play with the intercostal clavicle of a brontosaurus when he could be hunting leopards in Connecticut with a croquet mallet and a fishing net. Stanley Cavell, a Shakespeare-loving film critic, calls Howard Hawks’ comedy “the extended allegory on the question of sharing the loss of chastity.” On the one hand, that’s a line as funny as the one Susan rattles: “The love impulse of the man frequently reveals itself in terms of conflict.” On the other hand, if lust is a panther, seeking what it may devour, Bringing Up Baby gives us the reverse view: Hepburn purring like a pussycat, even as Grant flees, moaning, “I don’t like leopards!” BILLED WITH Holiday. Grant and Hepburn (as an heiress striving to breathe free) strike a blow for nonconformity. (Plays Jun 19-22 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) Mamma Mia! (2008) Rather a lot of damned Abba in it, but if people want to have lukewarm Swedish mayo poured in their ears, so be it. Denatured Latin beats and ESL lyrics run rampant as lovely but dim 20-year-old Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) invites three men who might have been her father to her big fat Greek wedding as a surprise for her mom, Donna (Meryl Streep). Coincidentally, two members of Donna’s former band (Julie Walters, Christine Baranski) have arrived for the wedding with the three contenders for the parenthood: Harry (Colin Firth), the globetrotting sailor Bill (Stellan Skarsgard) and architect Sam (Pierce Brosnan). Streep is the standout, an expert song-saleswoman; standing on a cliff, she gives “The Winner Takes It All” Streisand-level force. (Plays Jun 18 at 8:45 in Redwood City at Old Courthouse Square; bring your own lawn chair and blanket; free.) (RvB)

48( Niles Film Museum Regularly scheduled programs of silent and independent film. Jun 19 at 8pm: Les Blank. The El Cerrito–based filmmaker is a giant, one of America’s most important documentary makers; he has made several definitive accounts of the old America before the Internet and coast-to-coast radio chains. His Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers (1980) is the best movie anyone will ever make in Gilroy; Burden of Dreams (1982), an account of Werner Herzog’s nigh-nervous breakdown on the set of Fitzcarraldo, is essential viewing for any film student. Jun 20 at 7:30: The Secret Game (1917). Charles Ogle, best known as the first actor to play Frankenstein’s monster, is an agent of the Beast of Berlin, Kaiser Wilhelm II; fortunately, a secret agent (matinee idol Sessue Hayakawa) smells a rat. Directed

by William de Mille. Also: The Hollywood Kid (1924). San Jose’s own Vernon Dent—a regular collaborator with Harold Lloyd and a regular opponent of the Three Stooges— stars in this behind-the-scenes comedy that includes Billy Bevan, Ben Turpin and the spectacularly ill-fated Marie Provost.

And: Smithy (1924). Laurel sans Hardy in a service comedy. Frederic Hodges at the piano. (Plays Jun 19-20 in Fremont at the Edison Theater, 37417 Niles Blvd.) (RvB) Queen Christina/The Gay Divorcee (1933/1934) “Precisely, the story of a woman who grew up in the belief that the world is a place of solitude, then suddenly discovers the power to communicate with its enchantments,” writes Tom Milne in his book on director Rouben Mamoulian. Greta Garbo plays Queen Christina of Sweden, the 17th-century monarch who refused to marry. This (scarcely accurate) romance hazards a guess as to why. Recently enshrined in Bertolucci’s The Dreamers. BILLED WITH The Gay Divorcee. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in their wittiest film comedy.

Aboard an ocean liner, Fred is mistaken

by Ginger for a professional divorce “corespondent” (see Evelyn Waugh’s A Handful of Dust for a detailed description of that occupation). Later come the immortal dances, particularly the acme of elegant romanticism onscreen, “Night and Day.” For comedy relief from the romantic tension: Erik Rhodes’ pre–Roberto Benigni performance as the original tasseled Italian loafer; also Alice Brady, Eric Blore, Edward Everett Horton, and Betty Grable (in silk pajamas) doing “Let’s K-nock K-nees.”

(Plays Jun 23-25 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008) Anthony Head, Sara Brightman (!) and Paris Hilton (?) co-star in a songfilled frolic about forcible internal organ removal; destined, one hopes, to be remembered as the other movie that has the plot of Canary. (Plays Jun 19 at midnight in Campbell at Camera 7 and Jun 20 at midnight in San Jose at Camera 12.) (RvB) To Catch a Thief (1955) Your ultimate French Riviera jewelthief movie, with Cary Grant wrongly suspected of having restarted his former career as a cat burglar known as, naturally, as “The Cat.” Grace Kelly plays an heiress desired either for herself or for her jewels.

The film features fine supporting work by the pert gamine Brigitte Auber and

by John Williams as the stalwart copper.

Alfred Hitchcock’s famous routines here include the use of fireworks to represent a love scene and a famous double-entendre picnic, where it’s not clear what exactly is on the menu. The VistaVision photography

by Robert Burks makes this the most azure movie ever about the Côte d’Azur.

Lara Price favors the crowd with a tune beforehand. (Plays Jun 17 at sunset in San Jose on Post Street between Market and First; bring blankets and lawn chairs; free; www .sjdowntown.com/Starlight_Cinemas.html) (RvB)

Swingers Will the Thrill brings his act to San Jose

L

OCAL cinéastes who feel they can’t buy a thrill are in for luck when Will “The Thrill” Viharo commences his Thrillville screenings in San Jose. The first local Thrillville, on June 18 at 7:30pm, features 1964’s The Horror of Party Beach, accompanied by live music

by Aardvark and the Rockabilly Models and an appearance by horror host Mr. Lobo. For 12 years, Will the Thrill has been running his THE RUBBER-SUIT MURDERS “cult movie cabaret” in various Bay Xibu!fmtf!xpvme!bo!bupnjd!cfbtu!!

Area venues. He describes it thus: mjwf!pgg!cvu!cmppe@!Nblft!qfsgfdu!!

“Think of your worst nightmare tfotf!up!vt/ come to life, but with the possibility of free and pretty useless prizes—a cheap vintage Vegas lounge act from hell.” Viharo began by hosting Blue Velvet for a Saturday midnight show. “I quickly moved into vintage grindhouse/drive-in territory,” he recalls, “booking a lot of old AIP classics. On May 31, 1997, I met my wife and lifelong lovely assistant, Monica “The Tiki Goddess” Cortes, at a screening of Jailhouse Rock.

She showed me her tattoo—a Navajo symbol that says “Elvis”—and the rest is history.”

When you pour radioactive sludge on human skulls sitting around at the bottom of Long Island Sound, you can expect comeuppance. In Horror of Party Beach, a monster with a mouthful of rubber bratwursts attacks female revelers. Meanwhile, a clean-cut Nutmeg State surf band called the Del-Aires tries to make sense of the tragedy. It was one of two movies producer/director Del Tenney shot in Stamford, Conn., during the course of one fortnight, the other being the old-dark-house mystery The Curse of the Living Corpse. Viharo notes, “Tenney was a native of Iowa, but he moved to New York to work in theater in the early ’60s. His first movie [as a producer], Psychomania, was also shot in Connecticut. I imagine it was just cheap to shoot anything there, and the scenery is nice! Another favorite Del Tenney flick is I Eat Your Skin, shot in Florida. I guess he was on vacation and decided, what the hell, I’ll make a zombie flick while I’m here.” (Nee Voodoo Blood Bath, Tenney’s tropical maddoctor opus was retitled by producer Jerry Gross to make a two-fer with his hippie-maniac rabid-dog-blood injection drama I Drink Your Blood: thus “Two great blood-horrors to rip out your guts!” said the ads. Thanks as always to Michael Weldon for details.)

As for San Jose, Will says: “Yes, I know the way. . . . Monica and I go down there every year for Christmas in the Park, and one of our favorite restaurants anywhere is Joe’s. I also loved Martini Monkey at the San Jose Airport. Some of the best cocktails we’ve ever had—unfortunately it got moved behind the security checks.” Speculating over shows he’d like to do, Viharo notes, “My favorite B flick is I Was a Teenage Werewolf, which I showed once when Kit Parker had the rights, but now those rights are in limbo, and I couldn’t show it even if I uncovered a print. I’d love to show more Russ Meyer and original Toho Godzilla flicks, but they’re just too expensive to rent.”

Upcoming at Thrillville in July is the babes-in-prison film Sugar Boxx starring Meyer’s star from Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Tura Santana. Viharo, who is publicist and patron at the Forbidden Island tiki bar in Alameda, was at a birthday party for this uniquely tough actress. There he met the director Cody Jarrett (hi, Cagney fans). “Cody told me all about this film project, a faithfully re-created women in prison exploitation movie, and I told him, when you’re ready, I’ll book it. Chicks behind bars are more fun than chicks in bars!”

Richard von Busack

THRILLVILLE takes place Thursday (June 18) at 7:30pm at Camera 3 in San Jose.

Tickets are $10.

What’s Cooking?

‘Food, Inc.,’ an exposé of American agribusiness, is the summer’s most necessary movie

Y

OU COULD call Robert Kenner’s brave documentary Food, Inc. “An Inedible Truth.” Graphics turn the film’s titles into labels at a supermarket. The perfect place to start—at the market, we’re lulled by images of red barns and green fields. “The veil is drawn,” says Fast Food Nation author Eric Schlosser, who charges that our food has changed more in the past 50 years than it has in the rest of human history. If we’re paying attention, we can see it—as when we drive past the CAFO (concentrated animal-feeding operation) on I-5 that we can smell for nine miles. Defying the lawyers, one corporate chicken farmer shows us her wretched, antibiotic-packed birds piled up, so genetically breast-plumped that they are unable to walk more than a few steps. Foxes patrol these megahenhouses. Today’s industry lobbyist is tomorrow’s regulator, as sure as today’s pig is tomorrow’s bacon. And the sharecropper-waged farmers aren’t in any position to complain.

We visit Tar Heel, N.C., site of the world’s largest slaughterhouse. Hidden cameras show us the inside. Kenner tells of how Big Ag recruits bankrupt Mexican corn farmers—driven out of business by cheap American corn, thanks to NAFTA—who were solicited in their own country to do this dangerous pig butchering. Drooling packed-in steers are fattened with cheap Iowa corn. It breeds E. coli in their guts. The nigh-annual outbreaks of E. coli are seemingly the cost of business, a price paid even by spinach-eating vegetarians. Meanwhile, interviewee Barbara Kowalcyk tries to get a law passed to allow the USDA to close down toxic slaughterhouses. The law is to be called Kevin’s Law, after her young son, who was killed by a bad hamburger from a plant that dawdled for weeks over whether they should recall their tainted meat. She has to watch what she says, though; it’s a felony to libel hamburger in Colorado, and no, that’s not a joke. Prefer tofu?

Monsanto hires investigators to make sure that no farmers save the seeds from the company’s patented soybeans. Too bad that genetically engineered pollen doesn’t recognize a fence, as many farmers have discovered in court, thanks to Supreme Court justice and former Monsanto lawyer Clarence Thomas, who made these lawsuits possible.

Food, Inc. tries to end in upbeat fashion. It counsels fine-print reading, farmers markets and gardening. We can pressure the FDA to monitor megaslaughterhouses instead of harassing smaller agriculturalists; one such is the slightly messianic Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms in Virginia, who gladly allows us to watch how the chickens get it in the neck on his spread.

Alas. Anyway, his hogs sure look happy and are probably delicious. Director Kenner can’t be accused of starry-eyed idealism. These days, even Wal-Mart gets into bed with organic growers; we see two of their reps paying a visit to as perfect-looking a Vermont dairy farm as you ever saw on the side of a lunch box. The film ends with a Woody Guthrie anthem and the reminder that if the United States could make Big Tobacco come to heel then agribusiness’s wasteful and deadly practices can be stopped. You need to see this film. In 90 enlightening and enraging minutes, it gives a tutorial on what’s on the other end of your fork.

Richard von Busack FOOD, INC. (PG; 94 min.), a documentary by Robert Kenner, opens June 19 at Camera 7 in Campbell.

Third Eye’s Revenge Third Eye Blind popsters abandon Mickey Mouse, find redemption

T TOOK almost a decade, but Third Eye Blind is finally getting some payback. After building a fan base around the Bay Area, the band hit it big in the summer of 1997 with its self-titled debut album and the alt-radio hit “Semi-Charmed Life.” Frontman Stephan Jenkins wrote in the liner notes to 2003’s A Collection that he intended the song as a NorCal response to Lou Reed’s NYC anthem “Walk on the Wild Side.” But it’s safe to say few listeners even noticed the references to addiction—to be fair, most radio stations played a version of the song with the overt reference to crystal meth back-masked out.

The band’s record company took notice, and immediately began remolding Third Eye Blind as “adult contemporary,” possibly the most uncool designation since “smooth jazz.”It was about this time, around 2000, that guitarist Tony Fredianelli stepped back into the band. He had worked on some of the original Third Eye Blind demos with Jenkins back in 1992, and after the dramafest

of guitarist Kevin Cadogan being kicked out, Fredianelli seemed like the person to bring some stability and credibility back to the band. He didn’t like what he found.

“Elektra squandered our credibility by taking us to the Disney shows and just trying to get all the cash they could,” he says.

Now, however, Fredianelli is appreciating the irony in the fact that that same generation of Disney fans who first saw the group at their lowest point are now teenagers embracing Third Eye Blind as a legitimate band. One song that he wrote for the band’s recent EP, “Non-Dairy Creamer,” broke into the Billboard Alternative chart with no push from anyone. “It’s funny,” he admits. “It kind of went full circle.”

The timing, all things considered, is pretty good. Not only is Third Eye Blind on tour—its only Bay Area date is Thursday at Music in the Park—but after a five-year hiatus between albums, it has two coming out this year, Ursa Major and its companion set, Ursa Minor. It’s not a double-album, but rather two

consecutive releases. “Some songs just fit together,” says Fredianelli.

“It’s like a collage, that’s how I look at it.” The guitarist, who has his own half-instrumental solo album coming out after the 3eb albums, says he was immediately comfortable writing music for a band whose sound is perhaps too well established.

“I worked on a lot of the original songs, so I had a vision for how the guitar should sound,” he says. It will no doubt surprise those who know the band only through its hits what that vision originally was: “A Dinosaur Jr. meets Billy Corgan kind of a sound. That’s what we were thinking would be cool early on.”

“Non-Dairy Creamer” doesn’t go that far, but after a very recognizably Third Eye Blind opening, it does launch into a wall of guitar sound that J Mascis would probably appreciate. Fredianelli realizes it falls on him to reintroduce some edge to the songs, and not just because he was formerly in the speed-metal band Apocrypha.

“Stephan needs a counterbalance to some of his pop sensibilities as

a songwriter. The stuff I’ve always written is a little bit more obscure, more open tunings,” he says.

Of course, this whole redemption thing could have come around a lot sooner if Jenkins wasn’t so notoriously slow with his lyrics.

Some of the music on the new album was written as far back as four years ago. On this particular issue, Fredianelli alternates between diplomatic, and not so diplomatic.

“It’s incredibly irritating,” he admits.

“But what can you do? You can’t force inspiration. Stephen is real picky with himself, real judgmental.

He’s a Libra.”

Released from its contract in 2004, Third Eye Blind now controls its own music and don’t expect to see it showing up on the Disney Channel anytime soon.

“It’s better. There’s no label telling you you’ve got to do this or that,” says Fredianelli. “And you don’t feel like you have to take a shower so much.”

THIRD EYE BLIND performs at Music in the Park at Plaza de Cesar Chavez in San Jose on Thursday, July 18; admission is free.

Jack London once said, “Show me a man with a tattoo and I’ll show you a man with an interesting past.” These days, it’s “Show me a girl with a tattoo and I’ll show you a bored teen with saved-up baby-sitting money.” The stats on tats bear out your experience that uninked flesh is getting harder and harder to find. Thirty-six percent of 18- to 25-year-olds and 40 percent of those 26 to 40 have at least one tattoo, according to a 2006 Pew survey. Soon, the only way for a hard-bitten bikerdude to stand out from the carpooling suburban mommies will be to cover up his tats with a Brooks Brothers cardigan, Top-Siders, and a button that says “Kiss me, I’m a Republican.”

Tattoos have been part of cultures throughout history, but in the 19th century Western world, before there were electronic tattooing machines, it was royalty and the aristocracy who had them, says Vince Hemingson, documentary filmmaker and human tattoocyclopedia. Winston Churchill’s mother was said to have a tattoo of a snake around her wrist. And, Hemingson added, after the dinner parties of “the absolute creme of (English) society,” the men repaired to the drawing room for brandy and cigars, and it was “quite

common” for them to strip down and show off their tats (a scene they never get around to showing on Masterpiece Theatre).

While Hemingson believes men typically get inked to impress chicks, memorialize dead friends or to build bonds in high-risk jobs (police, firefighters and the military), he says women often get tattoos to mark emotional milestones. As for what a tat says about a woman, well, it might depend on where she has it. Research by Melanie L. Bromley, a grad student in psychology, suggests women with a “tramp stamp”—a tat on their hip or butt—are more likely to have a one-night stand. No, that doesn’t mean all will. But, the tendency seems to be recognized by men. As Vince Vaughn’s character said in Wedding Crashers, “Tattoo on the lower back? Might as well be a bull’seye.”

Some guys draw the line at smoking, alcoholism or psychosis. For you, it’s the dragonfly on the shoulder blade. This isn’t wrong or right—it’s just how you feel.

If you’re unwilling to compromise, and willing to accept the consequences—fewer options for you—so be it. But, consider that all girls come with some fine print.

And sometimes, a really great girl will come with some not-so-fine print; perhaps some profound statement capturing the very essence of who she is—or that would’ve—if the Chinese characters up her arm didn’t actually read “Confucius has a big one.”

But, they’re just side acts; you’ll be the really big draw: “Unattached 34-year-old goes out with friends! Reads novel! Orders Netflix!” Of course, you could just tell all these buttinskys the truth: “I’m happy. Don’t need to settle. Don’t plan to.

Perhaps we could move on to what you think

is wrong with my hair?” Unconventional forms of happiness make people nervous about their choices. That’s their problem. It only becomes yours if you, maybe just a little, buy into the notion that “single” pairs up with “desperate” and “miserable.” If your life truly is awesome, let ‘em worry. It’ll give ‘em something to do when they aren’t sending the detective out after their husband or screaming at him in the grocery store.

6g^Zh (March 21–April 19): Are you secretly afraid

of feeling secure? Do you equate stability with being bored and lazy? Do you suspect that your restless pioneer spirit makes you unfit for the slow, meticulous work of building sturdy foundations?

If so, there’s hope for you to change—especially if you make a big effort in the coming weeks. The moment is ripe for you to learn more about the arts of energizing comfort and stimulating calm and exciting peace. To jump-start the process, go get a massage. As you’re being stroked by nurturing hands, brainstorm about the additions and adjustments you’d like to make in your five-year master plan.

IVjgjh (April 20–May 20): Your education is about to take a curious and interesting turn.

During the coming weeks, I expect that you’ll upgrade your street smarts and explore a whole new meaning for the term “hands-on experience.”

You’ll find out about an area of ignorance that was so deep and dark you didn’t even know about it, and you’ll take aggressive steps to get it the teaching it needs. Congratulations in advance for being brave enough to open your mind so wide, Taurus. I’m glad you’ll be hunting for a fresh set of questions. <Zb^c^ (May 21–June 20): The books of psychologist Carl Jung provide crucial insights into the nature of the unconscious mind. To the degree that I have any skill in deciphering the part of human intelligence that works in mysterious, secretive ways, I owe a great debt to him. I want to tell you an anecdote about him that may be useful.

Once, as an adult, Jung took a break from work to go strolling on a beach. While meandering, he was overcome with a spontaneous impulse to build things as he did when he was a kid. He gathered some stones and sticks and used them to construct a miniature scene, including a church. As he finished, he was visited by a flood of novel intuitions about his life. He concluded that his childlike play had called forth these revelations from his unconscious mind. I suggest you try a similar tack, Gemini: To access important information that your deep mind has been sequestering, go play a while.

ROB BREZSNY

8VcXZg ( June 21–July 22): We ask that you not divulge the climax of the epic story to anyone—at least until you’ve let it sink in for a while and felt all the reverberations it has unleashed. After that, you’ll be wise to speak about it only with skilled listeners and empathetic allies who can help you harvest the meaning of all the clues that were packed inside your adventures. One further counsel: Before you reach the absolute, final denouement of the drama, there may be a tricky turn that looks a lot like the ending.

AZd ( July 23–Aug. 22): You have cosmic permission (even encouragement) to live on the edge for the next 28 days as long as you follow these guidelines: 1. Don’t live on the edge to impress anyone; do it because you love it, or else don’t do it. 2. Don’t complain and worry about it. Enjoy it completely.

3. Don’t expect anyone else to join you on the edge.

If they choose to do so with enthusiasm, fine. But don’t manipulate them. 4. Don’t imitate the way other people live on the edge. Establish your own unique style. 5. Don’t live on the edge for more than 28 days. Much longer than that and you’ll start sabotaging the benefits.

K^g\d (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): In 1968, psychedelic rock band Iron Butterfly released its landmark 17-minute song, “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.” Cable TV network VH1 later named it as the 24th greatest hard rock tune in history. There are different stories about the origins of the title, but all agree on one point: It was originally “In the Garden of Eden.” It became “InA-Gadda-Da-Vida” through some fluke, probably caused by the lead singer getting intoxicated and garbling the words as he performed it in the recording studio. This would be an excellent week for you to induce and capitalize on creative mistakes like that, Virgo. I hope you do, because it’ll help you get into the right frame of mind to stir up a mix of excellence and improvisation everywhere you go—and that formula practically guarantees success.

A^WgV (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): Do you apologize to chairs when you bump into them? Often end up being the only one at a party who’ll talk to the most boring person? Ever find yourself starting your sentences with “I hope I’m not bothering you

but I was wondering if you would mind if I . . .”? If so, this is a good time to make a shift. That’s why I suggest you add some bite to your demeanor. Do what feels interesting at least as often as what’s polite. Look for what advances the plot as much as what fosters harmony. The point is not to go overboard, of course. You don’t want to fling insults or arouse friction. Add fire to your presentation, but don’t start conflagrations.

HXdge^d (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Evaluating Adam

Lambert after one of his exotic, virtuoso performances back in April, American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi praised him as being “confusing, shocking, sleazy and superb.” That’s a standard you could soon achieve in your own sphere, Scorpio.

But do you want to? You’ll have to care less about maintaining your dignity than usual, and be especially forthright in expressing yourself. Let me leave no doubt about what I’m saying: To be as superb as you potentially can be, you’ll have to be at least a little confusing and shocking and maybe even sleazy.

HV\^iiVg^jh (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): Metaphorically

speaking, Sagittarius, you have unearthed or are about to unearth a rare fossil. I think it’s a pretty sensational discovery. It’s a missing link that could help you make sense out of episodes in your past that have always mystified or frustrated you. I urge you to learn all you can about this fossil. Follow every lead it points to. And ask your intuition to run wild and free as it dreams up possible interpretations to its multiple meanings.

8Veg^Xdgc (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): Maybe it’s time you

did something in return for all the free advice I give you. From a karmic perspective it might not be healthy for you to continue to take, take, take while never giving back. So this week, for a change, how about if you compose an oracle for me? Or send me a nice present—nothing big or expensive, just a thoughtful token. JUST KIDDING! The truth is, I don’t care if you ever express your appreciation.

You give me a momentous gift simply by caring enough to read my words. Being able to speak with you so intimately has made me a better and smarter person. Now I suggest you do what I just did: Acknowledge how much the receivers of your gifts do for you.

6fjVg^jh ( Jan. 20–Feb. 18): “I guess I just prefer

to see the dark side of things,” says actress and comedian Janeane Garofalo. “The glass is always half empty. And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it.

And chipped a tooth.” As witty as that thought may be, I don’t recommend you make it your approach in the coming days. My analysis of the omens suggests that reality will be especially malleable.

Even more than usual, it will tend to take the shape of your expectations. So please, Aquarius, try hard to see the lovely, graceful, unbroken glass as half-full of a delicious, healthy drink.

E^hXZh (Feb. 19–March 20): I feel an expansive, permissive mood coming on—in the cosmos, that is, not me. To be honest, I’m in a more conservative mood than the cosmos. But the planetary powersthat-be have decided to float you poetic licenses, blank checks, special dispensations, and wild cards.

I just hope this free stuff won’t make you forget about the finely-crafted containers and boundaries you’ve been working on lately. Maybe I’d feel better if you promised me to keep on doing the careful, conscientious things that seem to have earned you all the good fortune that’s on its way.

Well, I’d keep him off the steroids, if that’s what you’re asking. Also, common experience suggests that where big vs. small is concerned, you don’t necessarily want to bet the rent on Goliath. Granted, David wasn’t using karate, and there’s no question the introduction of firearms into the situation tends to skew the odds. Nonetheless you do occasionally hear of martial arts adepts taking down attackers with their bare hands—including attackers with guns.

For example: • In 1996 a blind Philadelphia man used a combo of martial arts and wrestling moves to kill a guy who’d tried to rob him.

• In 2007, three masked assailants tried to hold up a group of U.S. tourists on a cruise stopover in Costa Rica only to be foiled by a military veteran in his 70s who used martial arts to kill the chump with the gun.

• In 2008 a New York subway conductor with a black belt took on three muggers and won.

• In 2008 an ex-firefighter trained in an American martial art called bojuka subdued a neighbor who pulled a .45 on him by smashing the gun butt repeatedly into the guy’s head.

• In 1989 a blind man was forced to use his martial arts training to defend himself from police who attacked him when they mistook his folded cane for a set of nunchucks.

OK, the last fellow lost his fight, and yes, he’s not much of an argument for the usefulness of martial arts training in staying out of trouble.

However, the more interesting observation is that, of the cases I dug up, 60 percent of those who used martial arts to smack down an attacker (even if only temporarily) were blind or elderly.

Sure, maybe only the man-bites-dog cases find their way into news accounts. But it’s tempting to say blind and/or elderly + martial arts training = decent chance of kicked bad-guy ass.

Generalizing from anecdotes is a temptation we need to resist, of course. But there isn’t much else to go on. My assistants Una and Gfactor couldn’t find any reliable studies in the last 30 years on the benefit of martial arts training in combat situations. For what it’s worth, though, research on the more fundamental question of whether crime victims should fight back

suggests that resistance, far from being futile, may do you some good: • A recent 10-year study of attacks on women (733 rapes, 1,278 sexual assaults and 12,235 general assaults) found that on the one hand, resisting an attempted rape lowered the odds of the perp completing the act by nearly twothirds. But on the other, it slightly increased the odds of injury and doubled the chance of serious injury.

• A study of 3,206 assaults against women between 1992 and 1995 showed that women who fought back early in the attack were half as likely to be injured, and 75 percent of women queried reported that fighting back helped. An earlier study using data from the 70s found that women who resisted had less likelihood of being raped and 86 percent sustained no serious injury as a result—which, I suppose, means 14 percent did sustain serious injury.

• Another 10-year study of victim response in 27,595 crimes (assault, sexual assault, robbery, larceny and burglary) showed across the board that resisting resulted in less injury than not resisting. Similarly, studies have found that resisting reduces the likelihood of an attempted crime succeeding. For example, the chance of a would-be robber pulling it off drops somewhere between 20 percent and 48 percent.

These conclusions remain controversial, and nobody’s saying a kid with three months of karate classes is equipped to fend off a determined mugger. The main advantages of martial arts training are the same as for any sport—physical fitness and increased confidence.

However, to the extent it encourages your son to be more aware of his surroundings and think how he’d respond if bad things were to happen—well, that’s a useful life skill for plenty of venues, not just the street.
