Frankly, though, the original players highlighted in your story made the Quakes what they’ll always be remembered for and what really is most important to the history of this franchise. Thanks for the entertaining piece of writing. My only complaint about the modern-day (MLS) Earthquakes: Why the hell didn’t they keep their original colors? Relating to your team through it’s tribal markings should never be undervalued in the historical context. PS: love them Shakers Arturo Villaseùor San Jose

Down Under I have read a few reviews of The Cove—yours was the best yet (Aug. 5). Lots of us have known about the dolphin killing for years, but it takes a special movie to get it out into the public domain. I have been attempting for the last six years to get the New Zealand government to take legal action against Japanese whaling in the southern ocean, but because it could endanger trade, they prefer “talking.� The posed question is:

“What actions can individuals do to show their horror at what Japan does to cetaceans?� Simply, stop buying anything made in Japan or made by a Japanese company.

Oakland Stompers during their one and only season (1978) and quickly realized that the vibe was entirely second-rate compared to those balmy evenings and afternoons in the southern tropics of San Jose’s Spartan Stadium (“Goal Oriented,� Cover Story, July 29). The Quakes were the legitimate ambassadors to the furgol-loving masses bringing us Beckenbauer, Pele, Mueller, (did Cruyff ever play at Spartan? If he did I missed him, ahhh . . .) and, of course, Georgie Best.

Thank you for the spotlight on shuffleboard! (“Shuffle Along,â€? Club Scene, Aug. 5) I have enjoyed playing at the Old Wagon and recently won their ďŹ rst team tournament. Many of the kids do not know how to play let alone know the rules. I try to help when I can. Some of the guys I keep seeing again and again and notice their game has been getting better. I expect the competition will heat up in the next tournament. Beyond the competition, the game brings smiles, cheering, loud yells, high ďŹ ves, laughter, and like you said, strangers bonding in the simple game of shuffleboard. Scott Paul San Jose

Listen to the Letter The Doobies have sold over 30 million records and remain one of the most popular live acts around. They have roots all over the valley and still have strong ties to the area. Co-founders Tom Johnston (San Jose State) and Pat Simmons (Leigh High School) formed the Doobies out of their 12th Street house downtown. Not only did Johnston pen such classics as “China Groveâ€? and “Listen to the Musicâ€? in the basement but came up with their name at the kitchen table. It became a central jam site for local musicians (including Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac when both were SJS students). The band’s early local gigs [were] at the Gaslighter Theater and Bodega (in Campbell), Ricardo’s Pizza and the Hell’s Angels hangout the Chateau LibertĂŠ in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The San Jose rock & roll museum is working with the band to make their long-overdue induction a big event. KFOX DJ Greg Kihn insists that the name of Mineta Airport be changed to Doobie Brothers International. San Jose should be proud of the greatest retro icon from what is considered the most creative period of music ever. Tim Pasetta Santa Clara

J!Tbxzpv Bitchen Camaro Guy I know it’s 5 o’clock in the morning, and I know you need to get to your very important Lockheed job, but you really don’t need to go Jackie Stewart on everybody else on 101 north from San Jose to Sunnyvale. I ďŹ gure you’re going at least 120 mph. If you weren’t such a jerk about changing lanes, I probably wouldn’t have noticed you, because I travel at a pretty rapid rate to my place of employment as well. But you, sir, make me want to call the cops. And I really don’t say that often. Slow down a bit, maybe just to 100. Your engineer projects will still be there. Best regards, Fellow Driver

Rosy Days

L

AST WEEK saw yet another intradimensional moment in San Jose history as the Rosicrucian Order AMORC held a special ceremony commemorating the 100th anniversary of H. Spencer Lewis’ initiation into the Rosicrucian tradition in Toulouse, France. It was in 1909 that Lewis made contact with the European leaders of the Rosicrucian Order, and on Aug. 12 of that year, he officially received the mandate to lay the foundation for the order’s resurgence in North America. So, in 1915, Lewis launched the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC) in New York and then briefly moved the headquarters to San Francisco and Tampa, Fla., respectively, before eventually relocating to San Jose in 1927, where AMORC’s head office has been ever since. On the 100th anniversary of Lewis’ original initiation last Wednesday, AMORC actually opened up the temple in Rosicrucian Park to the general public for this special meditation and ceremony. The temple is nowhere near as exciting as one would expect from a secret order, but the place was built in 1949 and boasts décor resembling that of ancient Egypt. A triangular altar sits in the middle of the place, and the “Guardians” wear ceremonial aprons and walk only in right angles as they move through the facility. Now, I am not a Rosicrucian, nor am I proselytizing, but I can at least tell you this much: They are not a religion or a sect but a community of spiritual seekers and philosophers who study and practice metaphysical and natural laws governing the universe. Their teachings, which they trace to the mystery schools of ancient Egypt, offer a nonmainstream route to esoteric Western spirituality and include lessons on the structure of matter, human consciousness, psychic centers, the nature of the soul, intuition, the space-time continuum, vibroturgy, radiesthesia, karma, sacred geometry and other esoteric subjects. AMORC’s members include people from all creeds. In fact, some Rosicrucian members do not subscribe to any specific religious beliefs at all. That said, a gong signaled the beginning of the ceremony and we all proceeded to fill the pews and watch a History Channel–style biography of H. Spencer Lewis and his original 1909 trip to France to get initiated into the Rosicrucian tradition. Following this, we listened to an audio recording of Julie Scott, grand master of the English Grand Lodge for the Americas, which led everyone in a group meditation, helping to visualize the most positive aspects of politics and government, economics, education, health care and healing, religion and mysticism. Scott lives here in San Jose, but was away in Toulouse, taking part in a similar commemorative ceremony The temple is nowhere with other Grand Masters from the throughout the world. near as exciting as At the San Jose temple, the one would expect meditation/visualization asked everyone from a secret order, to actively participate in the positive but the place boasts transformation of our society and the world, in both mystical and material décor resembling that ways: “One of the ways that we will of ancient Egypt accomplish this is through the Mystical Law of the Triangle—by bringing two things together, thereby producing a third. There are many applications of this principle. One very powerful formula from an old Rosicrucian exercise is combing thought and projection, which manifest change. We energize and enliven our thoughts by projecting them powerfully into the world. We accomplish this by experiencing our visualization fully, including imagination and emotion. We then give it power through our breath and by the use of vowel sounds, thus sending the vibrations of our visualization into the world.” The recording then led everyone in chanting of specific vowel sounds—owm, rah, mah, ohm—to help “visualize the power of our government being used for good,” to “envision an economic system that uses money as an expression of divine love and sharing,” and “envision education that inspires our young people, educating the whole self and encouraging new ideas.” In the end, I will finish by leaving things open for the conspiracy theorists, since according to AMORC’s own history, H. Spencer Lewis also originally went to France to accompany his dad, a genealogist who was doing research on behalf of the Rockefellers. So Mote It Be!

Steve Jobs: The Stonking Big Profile The aptly named Bryan Appleyard had an interesting profile in the PRINCE OF DARKNESS !Jo!b! nbttjwf!Mpoepo!Ujnft!qspß!mf-!Tufwf! Times of London. He wrote about Kpct!jt!qpsusbzfe!bt!b!tfdsfujwf! Steve Jobs without actually being fhpnbojbd/!Cvu!ifÖt!PVS!tfdsfujwf! fhpnbojbd/! allowed to talk to the man and the resulting tale sounds more like a profile of the Bilderbergers than a fluff piece on a popular company. However, what Appleyard did come away with was a picture of a company so strange and dysfunctional it makes most Communist dictatorships look like fantasy football leagues. One of the best paragraphs describes Apple’s development style:

“The answer is that, along with computers, iPhones and iPods, secrecy is one of Apple’s signature products. A cult of corporate omerta—the mafia code of silence—is ruthlessly enforced, with employees sacked for leaks and careless talk. “Executives feed deliberate misinformation into one part of the company so that any leak can be traced back to its source. Workers on sensitive projects have to pass through many layers of security. Once at their desks or benches, they are monitored by cameras and they must cover up devices with black cloaks and turn on red warning lights when they are uncovered.” But will we listen? Will we ever tear down this cult of personality? Probably not. Apple does what Apple does and we—though increasingly fewer of us—walk in lock-step. For better or worse Jobs’ strange strategy worked. Comparing Apple with other computer companies is almost impossible. Through force of will and a strange internal culture, Apple has left the map entirely and is operating in its own rarified astral plane. —JOHN BIGGS, CRUNCHGEAR.COM

Ridden Out of Town Scooter shop owner says San Jose’s bureaucracy forced him to move By Jessica Fromm

‘W

E are sorry to say the city is forcing us to move. For now we will be open by appointment only.” So reads a small sign taped to the locked front door of Moto Amore in downtown San Jose. The small scooter sales and service shop, located in the old Tenth Street Pharmacy building, officially started its move to Santa Clara last Monday, following months of what owner John Bettencourt says has been an uphill struggle dealing with San Jose’s code enforcement bureaucracy. “Have you ever heard that the city is not friendly to downtown small business? Well, every word of

$100,000

Estimated cost of structural changes to the old 10th Street Pharmacy

[11]

the form of a signage grant through the San Jose Redevelopment Agency (RDA) last October. He says the RDA (which could not be reached for comment as this story went to press) changed his grant to one dealing with the overall facade, and the bid was put into limbo. More than a year later, he says, the huge golden mortar and pestle and big yellow letters reading “Tenth Street Pharmacy” still adorn the building. “Daily, I had people walking in asking if we are pharmacy,” Bettencourt says. Bettencourt, who has no employees and mans the showroom and repair shop alone, says San Jose code enforcement then started demanding frequent inspections last spring. He says the last inspection occurred on the morning of April 24, 2009, when six city employees came to look around his shop and said he would have the results of their findings within a week. Three months later, on July 2, a city compliance order was delivered to Bettencourt, detailing that he had until Aug. 15 to obtain several special use permits. He says this included a permit to change Moto Amore from a “retail” to “service” space, and that he needed to make structural modifications to the building that would cost upward of $100,000. “It’s not possible to do anything in San Jose city in less then a month,” Bettencourt says. As he scrambled to obtain the proper permits, he says, he hit wall after wall of bureaucracy as he was shuffled from city office to city office. He says he was stood up for appointments at the San Jose code enforcement office, then a building department officer said that he needed to be paid $225 an hour to answer his questions, and after that people from the planning department said that they weren’t even sure if he needed to change his permit after all. “They really squeeze out small businesses by doing that,” he says. “The only people that can deal with this sort of thing are companies that

it is true,” says Bettencourt, 39. “It’s one thing to say you need a permit, but it’s another thing to make it impossible to get one. I’m like, ‘I’m trying to give you my money, and you’re making it as difficult as possible.’ It’s very frustrating, and I’m just done.” Bettencourt opened for business a little over a year ago, filling the 4,100square-foot glass-paned showroom with shiny, candy-colored Vespas and vintage scooters, with a repair shop in back. At the time, the opening was received with much adulation and excitement from the San Jose Redevelopment Agency, which has

long been trying to make San Jose one of the most business friendly cities in Silicon Valley. Moto Amore’s grand opening even prompted the Mercury News’ Sal Pizarro to write a story about the new business moving into the empty commercial space. “When I moved in, everybody was happy, and the city was very happy,” Bettencourt says. “[City Councilmember] Sam Liccardo came in right after I opened and he talked about how happy they were to see a few businesses opening on Santa Clara.” Bettencourt says that his problems with the city started when he tried to apply for a few thousand dollars in

have lawyers to sit around and do this, and I’m trying to run my business.” With the August deadline approaching fast, Bettencourt finally decided to break his lease. “Nobody has been any real help, and the result is another empty building in an area they say they want to clean up,” he says. Liccardo says his office has received several inquiries from citizens who have seen the sign on Moto Amore’s door—but he reports that he and his staff have attempted to contact Bettencourt, and couldn’t track him down. “I tried calling them myself, but there was no pickup,” says Liccardo. Ragan Henninger, Liccardo’s chief of staff, says she has never received a call from Bettencourt.

I Don’t Need No Stinking Permits Henninger says the code enforcement office conducted the inspection of Moto Amore because neighbors complained of gas fumes. The city later determined that Bettencourt’s scooter repairs were industrial work, which violates his location’s permit, and that prompted the compliance order. Michael Hannon, a code enforcement official, says the city tried working with Bettencourt. “We first started getting complaints about the business back in February, so it’s not like we’ve been overly aggressive in trying to close John down,” Hannon says. “We gave him six weeks ... the repair of scooter and vehicles is allowed, but you have to obtain a special use permit from the planning division before you can begin doing that kind of work. He has to understand that there are certain zoning regulations that he has to comply with.” Bettencourt, however, insists that the business tax certificate that the city issued him in February of 2009, which specifies

Moto Amore as “General Automotive Repair” shop, is proof enough that he can conduct scooter repairs. Bettencourt might have had more help before San Jose’s recent cuts to city services. Scott Knies, executive director of the San Jose Downtown Association, says that a few years ago the city set up a Small Business Ambassador Program to help owners like Bettencourt navigate the city’s complicated permitting processes. “It certainly is a quagmire for a small business owner who may be wading into all the regulatory requirements,” Knies says. According to Liccardo, San Jose’s June budget cuts gutted the Small Business Ambassador Program, and as of June 30 it was largely eliminated. “That is what that program was designed to do, was to help small businesses manage their way through the bureaucracy of city hall,” Liccardo says. “I’ll be the first to admit it can be unbelievably daunting at times, and incredibly frustrating for a lot of small business people.” Bettencourt says the city did refer him to the Small Business Ambassador Program, but that other then a website, it no longer exists. “It’s a sham,” Bettencourt says. “They have no power, they can’t actually do anything other then give you a number to make an appointment.” Liccardo admits that the program is deeply flawed, though he says the city has been working with the planning, building and code enforcement departments so business owners like Bettencourt do not fall through the cracks. Liccardo says that with the economy being so tough on small businesses, the last thing he wants is for the city to get in the way. “I’d love an opportunity to talk to the guy and to find out what’s actually going on ... I’m frustrated myself just listening to all of this.” M

SLAVE LABOR GRAPHICS 17 In some respects, Slave Labor Graphics is a family business. In a wire cage at the back of the store, Vado’s mother works, silently processing orders. Showing me the photo of himself that Metro ran in 1994, Vado pointed out his late father standing in the background behind him—his dad had also worked for Slave Labor Graphics. Vado is a first-generation American. His parents were Italian immigrants who gave him comics to learn to read English. After early exposure to the medium, Vado ended up writing for the comic books. For a time, he penned the adventures of DC’s Justice League member Booster Gold, a sort of crooked, self-promoting version of Buck Rogers, as interested in fame and money as he is in crime fighting.

As he prowls his warehouse, an unruly-haired figure dressed in rumpled shorts and a Tommy Bahama shirt, Vado can’t ignore the tailspin in which the comics industry currently finds itself Now in his middle years, after decades as a publisher, with two children graduating college, Vado’s business stands at a crossroads that confronts many publishers in an industry facing an uncertain future. During its 23 years of existence, Vado’s Slave Labor Graphics has printed hundreds of titles—some optioned for the movies. At present, Vado is working on a big project that hopes to remind the world of one of San Jose’s true monuments And as long as he has some extra space, he’s also planning to exhibit art and to have a little fun with a downtown warehouse while there is fun to be had. As he prowls his warehouse, an unrulyhaired figure dressed in rumpled shorts and a Tommy Bahama shirt, Vado can’t ignore the tailspin in which the comics industry currently finds itself. Founded in 1986, Slave Labor Graphics persists as one of the oldest independent comic-book publishers in the United States. It has survived in a field known for Eastern Front–like levels of attrition.

Slave Labor’s ornery motto—“Too stupid to quit, too mean to die”—is even the title of a collection SLG published to salute its 20th year in business three years ago. Unlike Vado’s retail comic-book shop on Bascom Avenue, where I interviewed him in 1994, this newer warehouse boasts two rooms of exhibition space. The building’s center is a small performance stage with an Astroturf floor and a chandelier made from a necklace of plastic skulls. A mosaic of cardboard sleeves from ’80s albums lines the stage wall, pasted up to deaden echoes off the wall. Bands play once a month during the First Friday tours of downtown San Jose art galleries. Slave Labor Graphics is sponsoring Zombie-O-Rama ’09 on Aug. 26—a pre-movie zombie crawl “with dead music” before the free sundown screening of Shaun of the Dead. Details are at zombieorama.com. Vado looks around at the performance space and comments, “It’s good that people are coming downtown. But the current thought is that getting them down here requires some kind of an event or a new Marshalls or something. San Jose needs to get in touch with its popculture roots every day. This city needs to embrace the crazy.”

>:K +:KD>M BG $NGGR GBF:EL The problem of plummeting sales has been hitting Vado as hard as it has other publishers. I noted the vinyl collector toys on sale in the front room of the shop. Recently, such collectables helped comic shops and publishers survive. Today, the market is glutted. The scene at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego didn’t give Vado much optimism. The emphasis on film adaptations of comics and science fiction is eclipsing the conventions’ first purpose: promoting comic books. “The general feeling at the convention,” Vado reported, “is that it has reached its turning point. First to go were the dealers. The next guys to go are the smaller publishers. The recession has come to the comic business. Business on Saturday was the worst it has been in a long time. Traffic was good, but the average sale was much, much smaller.” The days are over when an independent creator—say Harvey Pekar, a good example of someone working completely outside the loop—would order a run of 10,000 books and then figure out a way to sell them. “The sale of a couple of thousand copies of an independent comic book is a great success now,” Vado said, shrugging. “There are fewer comic-book stores around since Amazon; indie comic-book shops are closing everywhere. The Chinese 20

SLAVE LABOR GRAPHICS 19 Evan Dorkin’s squat, square, beetle-browed pair have a little list, as that song goes in The Mikado. These “dairy products gone bad” pursue a permanent rageaholic crime wave against social types they cannot suffer to live. Give them their due: they were far ahead of the curve in being opposed to bottled water: “‘Evian’ is ‘naive’ spelled backwards! And so are you if you buy that bottled toilet water! Drink gin instead.” Vado recalls some of his other favorite publications: the autobiographical series Tales From the Heart, firstperson memoirs by African Peace Corps volunteers; “and Dr. Radium was a great comic,” Vado says sadly. “It deserved a better fate.” Among the most popular of SLG’s books are the cartoons of Jhonen Vasquez’s Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Squee!. Vasquez’s art epitomizes 1990s gothic comics: a brute but bug-eyed style, thick-lined, as if gouged out of the paper.

!HFB<L WGW !HFBQ Besides Vado’s prominence in this field, San Jose’s place in the world of comics needs some retrieval. Vado believes that the Comics Collector Shop—Bob Sidebottom’s long-defunct cubbyhole on East San Fernando Street—may have been the first nothing-but-comics comic-book store in the United States. (The Comics Collector shop currently run by Phil Schlaefer in Sunnyvale is named in honor of Sidebottom’s cramped little store.) In Mountain View, Lee Hester’s shop, Lee’s Comics, serves as a national model for allthings-to-all-markets comic-book vending. And soon, film adaptations might give San Jose publishing a little publicity. Slave Labor Graphics has sold three separate options to Hollywood. Emo Boy by Stephen Edmond is reportedly in development with Jaime King (Sin City) and with YouTube celeb Lucas Cruikshank as the superpowered yet sad title character. James Turner’s series Rex Libris has

also been sold to film industry agents. Considering the successes of National Treasure and the Da Vinci Code franchises, there’s serious filmic potential in Turner’s comic books about Libris, last surviving Library of Alexandria librarian, disguised as a mildmannered Midwestern book jockey. As a licensee of Disney—“Our attempt to bring things up to the next level”—Vado is particularly proud of the Slave Labor series Wonderland, about the magic land after Alice left. It’s a property bound to get even more attention after the Disney/ Johnny Depp/Tim Burton film of Alice in Wonderland is released next spring. Another of Slave Labor’s Disney licensee comics is The Haunted Mansion, based on the Disneyland ride. Work on this comic book led Vado to a particularly ambitious project, Winchester, to be published this October.

5BG<A>LM>KWL $HEER The Winchester House is a place everyone thinks they know. In collaboration with Los Angeles artist Drew Rausch (his partner on The Haunted Mansion), Vado is writing a comic book about the house’s inner mysteries.

“It’s a project that’s been knocking around in my brain for a long time,” Vado explains. “It probably comes from having tried unsuccessfully to get a job at the Winchester House when I was 16. When we were doing the licensing for The Haunted Mansion, I found out that some of the Disney people had come up here to visit the Winchester House the 1960s. Some of the elements of the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland are taken from the house—the ballrooms, the organs, the long hallways, the séance room. I thought there was a story in it, so I started researching.” Vado continues, “The commercial wisdom is that Sarah Winchester was a rich crazy woman. There was a lot of tragedy in her life, deaths on both sides of her family. Very early on, she watched as her husband died of TB. That she started going to spiritualists isn’t that unusual; lots of people did that at the time.” The more Vado learned about Sarah Winchester, the more impressed he became. “Because she’d been touched by tuberculosis it makes sense that she’d leave the cold wet climate of New England. Right before she left, she gave a $2 million

donation for a TB hospital. Who knows how much that is in 2009 dollars? Sarah Winchester could have used a publicist. She could have been one of the most famous women in the world.” When Sarah Winchester moved West, she became a successful farmer and rancher. “She devised labor-saving devices,” Vado says. “She was living off of $20 million, her 50 percent share from the Winchester Repeating Rifle fortune. And she was still making more money selling fruit that she was from her investments. Originally, her home was seven stories high, but the top got knocked off in the 1906 quake, which is why there are doors and staircases to nowhere in the Winchester House. Of course, all that history interferes with the marketing of a crazy woman’s haunted mansion.” Previewing Winchester in San Diego this year, Vado found out how many people remember it: “And people who haven’t been there want to go.”

SLAVE LABOR GRAPHICS 23 aren’t accepting submissions,” Vado says. “And we’re focusing on the people we’ve already got working for us.” This September, SLG has a new comic out by Dustin Higgins and Van Jensen, a project Vado calls “a natural”: Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer. But one of the smartest pickups that Slave Labor has made in 20 years is hiring former San Jose cartoonist Jamaica Dyer. Dyer has an October publishing date for the comic-book version of her online comic Weird Fishes, with a subsequent gallery show of her art at SLG’s headquarters in November.

‘Like jazz, comic books were born here, and yet it’s an art that’s done better and gets more respect overseas. Comics have a hold. I think if people only knew it, there’s a comic out there for them, comics of every range and scope.’ Dyer is a post-gothic artist, whose watercolored art is closer to Raoul Dufy or Odilon Redon than to the raven-black inks of a Jhonen Vasquez. The 24-year-old Dyer grew up in Santa Cruz and got her BFA at San Jose State University. A month ago, Dyer moved to San Francisco, where she freelances on the TV commercial adventures of the shockingpink-haired Erin Esurance. Still, the Santa Cruz locations are clear in Dyer’s art. “I lived right next to the Boardwalk for two years,” Dyer says. “I liked it, but it’s kind of surreal, that screaming outside your window all day from the roller coaster.” The fantasy in Weird Fishes is slightly Sendak and very intimate: Bunny Boy and Devour are a pair of truant children trying shyly to get on one another’s wavelength. Dyer’s stories are of shape-shifting and dreamy fantasy, of being small enough to ride on a duck’s bill.

Dyer describes her art: “The book is basically looking at the fantasy that children have of seeing something alive shining in a pond. You’re at the point where you’re getting too old to just be playing with animals, so you start imagining monsters instead.” Her characters fantasize creatures seen in aboriginal art: “She sees this shadow monster on a nature show, and it infiltrates her imagination.” Dyer started her comic strip Devour the Child at SJSU’s Spartan Daily in late 2005. “The main character in that story was a little girl and a goldfish, and the little girl was a little bit mean-spirited. It got really surreal after a while.” She wasn’t deluged with feedback: “Most people didn’t comment on the strip,” Dyer says. “They’d say, ‘Oh, I saw your strip. It was . . . funny.’” Dyer’s first published piece outside of the strip was a story in the anthology Spark Generator #2, in which artists did tributes to those who inspired them to do work. The then-17-year-old Dyer’s story was about director Tim Burton—in particular, his Batman Returns (1992), the most romantic Batman movie ever made, and probably the most romantic one they’ll ever make. “This is the movie that changed my life.” Dyer said. “I was too young to be watching it. It was the most violent thing I’d ever seen. I fell in love with Catwoman.” Slave Labor Graphics’ editor Jennifer De Guzman got in touch with Dyer about publishing her comic; now Weird Fishes will be joining the works of a small press on the border between graphic art and funny-animal mayhem.

5A:M )>>IL !HFB<L EBO> I wondered if Vado agreed with cartoonist Dan Clowes that there is a special destiny for comic books—an indefinable essence that keeps them from being made obsolete by other media, even if they ought to be gone by now. “It’s an old art form,” Vado says. “If you think of it, it goes back to cave paintings and hieroglyphics. Like jazz, comic books were born here, and yet it’s an art that’s done better and gets more respect overseas. Comics have a hold. I think if people only knew it, there’s a comic out there for them, comics of every range and scope.” “My sons weren’t comic-book readers, they were musicians,” he adds. “They only started reading comics recently. And they said that the medium seemed like percussion to them, that there’s a rhythm to it.” Maybe that’s it: Comics can be synthesized online, but the reading of a comic book, of swishing the pages, of lying curled up with one, is as satisfying as the slap of a hand against a conga drum.

HILE SOME WOMEN chose to show serious skin during the summer months, others have opted for a more conservative yet equally sexy look. Enter the long, ankle-to-floor-length dress known as the “maxi.” The maxi was unearthed from the 1970s vault last summer, appearing on celebrities such as Jessica Simpson and Eva Longoria. It was showcased as an alternative to the sheer tops, shirtdresses and graphic miniskirts that also became popular during the spring and summer of 2008. Designers and consumers alike couldn’t get enough of this stylish garment, and it’s back again as a 2009 summer must-have. Although all things “mini” are welcome in summer heat, the long skirt on the maxi allows for free, wispy movement and coverage on areas that many women aren’t willing to flaunt. Legs, hips, thighs and tummies are discreetly safe from public view underneath the long skirt. Thanks to this flattering structure, even pregnant moms-to-be Heidi Klum and Grey’s Anatomy’s Ellen Pompeo have been seen sporting the look. For the nonexpecting, it’s best to make sure that this comfy, billowy frock doesn’t get one mistaken for being pregnant. Tube-top dresses like DCAN =:6GIH HD ;>C: show off long necks and defined collar bones, and bold patterns like G68=:A E6AAN’s Flora Maxi Dress in a peacock print place attention on the dress more than on what’s being covered up. Hollywood-based store <NEHN%* has been popular with young L.A. starlets such as The Hills’ Lauren Conrad and High School Musical’s Ashley Tisdale for their bold maxidresses in tie-dye designs and organic fabrics. The versatility of this bohemian-tinged trend is also a plus. Busy dresses can be downplayed for everyday outings with the use of flip-flops and minimal jewelry, or they can be taken up a notch into nighttime glam with the right pair of heels and chandler earrings for a more sophisticated ensemble. Women lacking long stems will have the more difficult task of finding a maxi that won’t swallow them whole. The trick to this is to find a dress that is form-fitting on top, and has a smaller skirt that stays closer to the body. No one wants to be tripping over her dress all night, so if a pair of wedges doesn’t stop the hem from dragging on the floor, a simple trip to a tailor to bring up the bottom is a great option. Maxidresses are a comfortable, trendy and versatile piece that can be worn to the beach or on an evening out. With so many different cuts, patterns and materials available this summer, there should be a place in every women’s closet for at least one. Andrea Muniz

Hold the Chips ;Za^eZ 7j^igV\d

San Jose’s Mendoza serves tasty and unusual Mexican—not Mexican-American—dishes By Stett Holbrook

SHOULD HAVE known better. I was eating lunch at San Jose’s Mendoza Taqueria a few weeks ago, enjoying a meal of uncommon dishes made in a central Michoacan style, when I let it slip. “Can we get some chips and salsa,â€? I asked our waitress. The thumping jukebox came to an abrupt stop, and everyone in the restaurant stopped talking midsentence and swiveled their heads to look at me in disbelief. An icy silence hung in the air. It was as if I had asked for a plate of grilled baby hearts. “No,â€? she said, as a icker of scorn crossed the face of my once pleasant waitress. “No se sirven aqui.â€? Translation: Chips and salsa aren’t served here. OK, I embellished that scene a little bit, but I did ask for chips and salsa, and the waitress did say they don’t serve them, but she was actually quite nice about it. Mendoza Taqueria is not your typical Mexican restaurant. It’s typically Mexican, not MexicanAmerican, and that means northof-the border gringo standards

I

like chips and salsa, burritos and nachos don’t appear on the menu. I knew this going in, but old habits die hard, and I reexively asked for chips and salsa. Disculpame. What the restaurant does serve is a lot more interesting than what it doesn’t. Mendoza specializes in the food of Michoacan, particularly that of Apatzingan, a city in central Michoacan that has sadly become battleground in Mexico’s drug wars. But the state is known for good food, too. Order a few uchepos ($1.50 each), and you’ll forget all about the absence of chips and hot sauce. The sweet-corn tamales are a street-cart favorite. Instead of being ďŹ lled with corn, the kernels are mixed into the soft and moist masa. Peel away the green corn husks and squirt the tamale with the squeeze bottle of crema and green salsa provided. The spicy green salsa is a nice foil for the pronounced sweetness of the tamales, and the crema (a thinner version of sour cream) rounds it all out. They’re cheap and good. Enchiladas de gĂźilotes ($9.50) are a Michocan classic. Corn

tortillas are simmered in a red chile sauce and ďŹ lled with a little onion and salty-tangy cotija cheese, a fry cry from the cheddar cheese–laden version of the dish served in most restaurants. The enchiladas are folded in half and topped with a mound of shredded cabbage. Crowning the whole shaggy but delicious mess are two whole fried quail—the gĂźilotes. Coupled with the sliced avocado, pickled jalapeĂąos and roasted potatoes, the dish is about as far away from a wet burrito as you can get. Another signature item is the morisqueta ($7.25), a hearty, satisfying stew made with chunks of pork ribs still on the bone served over a tidy heap of rice and beans. Served with a stack of fresh corn tortillas, this dish will keep you ďŹ lled up all day long. The ruddy Michoacan-style mole over chicken ($13) is another distinctive dish. From the list of hand-written specials, I spied the gorditas ($1.50), and they’re another must-order. The crispy, fried masa cakes are split open to reveal a satisfyingly chewy and

moist interior. All the standard ďŹ llings are available (carne asada, al pastor, chicken, etc.), but I went for the less common aporriadillo—dried beef mixed with scrambled eggs. Doused with a little of ďŹ ery roasted chile salsa set on the table, it’s a great threebite snack. The 12-year-old restaurant is done up in classic taqueria dĂŠcor: Mexican beer posters, a map of Mexico and framed photos of what I guess are points of interest in Apatzingan. Mexican telenovelas (soap operas) fume and emote from a corner-mounted TV. The glass beverage cooler is papered with handwritten specials and items not on the menu. Be sure to give them a look. There are also two door panels hanging on the opposite wall that bear the signatures of countless customers. Outside, idling vendors selling CDs and little cheap guitars are ready to show you their wares. Pure Mexico, or at least as close as you’ll get to it in Silicon Valley.

Time for Lunch

I

HAVE RAILED against the federal school-lunch program before, so I won’t cover the same ground again except to say that the food we serve our kids in a disgrace. Given the sky-rocketing rates of obesity and Type 2 diabetes in children, you’d think the Tater Tots, high-fat processed foods and various cruel gruels would have been 86’d from lunchroom menus long ago. There’s a growing and diverse movement to change what schools serve students in favor of real, good food instead of the prepackaged, heat-and-serve dreck that dominates the menu at most schools. But school-lunch reform is proving to be enormously complex. Entrenched interests like big agriculture and school unions are proving to be formidable obstacles to reform and children’s well being. The sorry state of ďŹ nancial affairs in public schools isn’t helping either. There’s hope, however, that the White House may push for changes in what we feed our kids. Many food policy analysts are watching to see what role Michelle and President Obama will play when the Child Nutrition Act comes up for congressional reauthorization this month. But like any other social injustice, change will come from the bottom up. It’s already happening. As school starts again for students over the next few weeks, the time is right to demand a school-lunch program that beneďŹ ts kids rather than one that gives agribusiness a place to dump its surplus, publicly subsidized commodities. HADL ;DD9 JH6 is helping to organize a “national day of actionâ€? on Sept. 7 to bring real food into schools at “eat-insâ€? across the country aimed at showing support for school-food reform. The potluck lunch events will feature speakers and information on how to go about changing the school lunch program. In the Bay Area, several eat-ins are planned. In Santa Clara County, eat-ins will be held in San Jose, Sunnyvale, Mountain View and way down in Hollister. In Sonoma County, lunches are planned for St. Helena, Santa Rosa, Healdsburg and Sonoma. In Santa Cruz County, events will be held in Santa Cruz and Davenport. For more info go to www.slowfoodusa.org and click on Time for Lunch.

Mountain Highs

T

HE WINERIES of the Santa Cruz Mountains aren’t like those in the Napa Valley or Sonoma. The local wineries in the Santa Cruz Mountains often require vertiginous drives up winding mountain roads to reach their tasting rooms. Other wineries are so small that they don’t have the space or resources to dedicate to a tasting room. That’s why K>CD8GJO in Santa Cruz has become such a destination for fans of Santa Cruz Mountain wines. The 3-year-old shop carries nothing but local wines. The interior has a sleek, modern feel and offers about 150 selections from 60 local wineries. The shop features a changing lineup of wines for tasting and serves as a de facto tasting room for many wineries that don’t have tasting rooms of their own. Some of the wines aren’t available for retail elsewhere, making it a special place for local wine lovers. ?"E 8DGG:6 presides over the shop along with partner ?:;;G:N @DC<HA>:. Correa’s previous career was in fashion sales and design, but he left the business to pursue his passion for wine. After moving to San Francisco from New York, he made dozens of trips to the Napa Valley to taste wine and eventually traveled to Santa Cruz, where he sampled the wines. “I was totally blown away by these guys,� he said. One thing led to another, and he and @DC<HA>: struck upon the idea of opening a store to showcase local wines. “We just think the wines here are fantastic,� he says.

CHEF SPOTLIGHT

Jim Stump

E

XECUTIVE CHEF ?>B HIJBE breaks the mold of typical brewpub fare at the ADH <6IDH 7G:L>C< 8D. Stump has created a diverse menu of upscale comfort food that goes well beyond burgers and grilled-chicken sandwiches. The handsome woodaccented interior and open kitchen with its woodďŹ red pizza oven and rotisserie grill add to the restaurant’s appeal. Stump has plenty of culinary experience to draw on. After graduating from the California Culinary Academy, Stump worked as a chef ’s assistant for Hubert Keller at San Francisco’s Fleur de Lys and then went to become saucier at the Blue Fox. He moved south to Silicon Valley in 1989 to join Don Durante at Birk’s Restaurant in Santa Clara, where he rose from sous-chef to executive chef. From there he became executive chef at Saratoga’s Le Mouton Noir. He opened the Los Gatos Brewing Co. in 1991 with Andy Pavicich Jr. in 1991. While still involved with the restaurant, he opened A.P. Stump’s in downtown San Jose in 1997, which enjoyed a 12-year run as one of downtown’s most celebrated restaurants. Stett Holbrook Chef Spotlight is a regularly occurring feature leading up to Silicon Valley Restaurant Week, Oct. 14–21. Each week, I will proďŹ le a chef involved in SVRW. For more information about the event, please go to www.siliconvalleyrestaurantweek.com.

ACK IN THE mid-’90s, the World Wide Web was first emerging as a new medium, and several academic institutions and art collectives across the world were starting to develop ideas for a new environment called “hypertext.” CADRE, which stands for Computers in Art, Design, Research and Education, was an interdisciplinary academic and research program within the School of Art & Design at San Jose State University, and several folks decided to launch an online new media art journal called SWITCH. Staffed by grad students for academic credit and executively edited by CADRE boss Joel Slayton, the journal contained articles, interviews and project documentation not just from “art” people but also from critics, students, cultural theorists, programmers, network engineers or refugees from other academic departments on campus. In the subsequent years, SWITCH either went to on to collaborate with or interview some of the leading characters in the late-’90s art, technology and critical theory crossover scene, including Manuel De Landa, Timothy Druckery, Mark

Amerika, Stelarc and others. In addition to, or perhaps because of this, it also played a significant role in the beginnings of the net.art movement. SWITCH was not the only journal of its kind at the time, but it was the local node of a worldwide scene where new media artists from academia were now collaborating with technologists from the private sector, educators were engaging in projects with computer hackers, pre-WWW theoretical discussion lists were reinventing themselves with graphic interfaces, and new multidisciplinary collectives were emerging out of the whole primordial stew. Nowadays, thankfully, CADRE is officially a “laboratory,” not an “institute,” and SWITCH still irregularly publishes issues. But a new era of transformation has begun, seeing SWITCH further experimenting with identity issues and still bridging gaps between the virtual world and the physical world. In conjunction with the latest incarnation of SWITCH, an international exhibition, “Polar Identity,” opened at the WORKS/San José gallery on Aug. 7. Featuring six artists who explore the ramifications

of climate change—each of whom went to either the North or South Pole as part of their original project— “Polar Identity” exists both in the gallery space at Works and also online at http://switch.sjsu.edu. According to curator Danielle Siembieda, 900 folks attended on opening night, and some of the artists took part in an online chat about their work. CADRE originally put out the open call for works for “Polar Identity” earlier this year, and six international artists were accepted to be part of the show. The $1,000 first prize went to Andrea Polli, a digital-media artist and director of the Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media Program at the University of New Mexico. Polli, who also exhibited at 01SJ last year, spent seven weeks in Antarctica on a National Science Foundation–funded residency. For Sonic Antarctica, she recorded material from several areas including “the Dry Valleys, the driest and largest relatively ice-free area on the continent, completely devoid of terrestrial vegetation; and the geographic South Pole, the center of a featureless flat, white expanse on top of ice nearly 9 miles thick.” At WORKS, one sees the three-channel video with stereo sound

version of the project, which is also a radio broadcast, live performance and audio CD on the Grunrecorder label. The $500 runner-up purse went to Xavier Cortada. Using a moving Antarctic ice sheet to mark the passage of time, Cortada installed 51 flags along a half-kilometer stretch of the ice sheet, the flags 10 meters apart and marking the spot where the geographic South Pole stood during each year since 1956, when the continent became permanently inhabited. Both documentation and flags hang from the wall in the gallery. Other artists exploring the poles are Jerome Gueneau and Catherine Rannou, Andrea Juan, Erika Blumenfeld and Montreal-based Phil Boissonnet. The jurors include surveillance artist Hasan Elahi, new-media artist Robin Lasser and the French writer/curator Annick Bureaud. “The idea is that if people see this physically, they’ll go look at SWITCH virtually,” Siembieda said. “And if people see SWITCH virtually, they’ll come to WORKS to see this physically.” POLAR IDENTITY shows through Sept. 11 at WORKS/San José, 451 S. First St., San Jose. (408.286.6800)

‘Inglourious Basterds’: Quentin Tarantino takes on the Nazis and Nazi movies

By Richard von Busack

T

HAT HITLER—what a showman! Seems like every week there’s a new YouTube remix of Bruno Ganz having a Holstein over whatever. The best, probably, is the remixed führer foaming over the news of how bad the new Transformers was going to be. Quentin Tarantino’s no-doubt Oscar-winning Holocaust film Inglourious Basterds is almost as deliriously entertaining as a remixed Hitler tantrum. This new film drips with movie love, and it is not a cheat—the blazing finale is one of the ultimate Mad magazine Scenes We’d Like to See. The long, rich film showcases Tarantino’s sense of humor more than his appreciation for violence. The whole thing is held together by one boundless if undifferentiated appetite for paraphrasing movies. Inglourious Basterds is the should-have-been true story of Operation Kino: the plot to destroy the Hitler Gang through their own love for cinema. Participants in the top-secret plot, witting or otherwise, include sweetheart of the Reich Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger, never better), a mysterious Parisian movie-theater owner known as Emanuelle Mimieux but born Shosanna

Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent) and a drawling British film critic– turned-commando, Lt. Archie Hicox (Michael Fassbender), the author of Twenty-Four Frame Da Vinci, a study of G.W. Pabst. (In writing the story of this lethal critic, I wonder if QT ever heard of Otis Ferguson—“A trail-blazing beacon of film criticism” writes Andrew Sarris, quite justly. He died fighting Hitler; Ferguson was a merchant marine killed off Salerno during the attack on the S.S. Bushrod Washington in 1943.) Opposing these flawed heroes is the smiling-serpent villain, the Helmut Dantine–like Christoph Waltz, as Hans “The Jew Hunter” Walda. Waltz’s thrilling loathsomeness is as pure as something you might see in a silent film. The loose cannons knocking around this picture, turning up to cause mayhem during its five separate chapters, are the Basterds themselves. Brad Pitt’s Tennessee ridge-runner Lt. Aldo Raine leads a band of homicidal Jewish guerrillas. Each one is indebted to him for 100 Nazi scalps. Is Tarantino as interested in these scalp hunters as he is in those delicious moments of tension, right before they strike? Maybe not. More than ever, Tarantino shows a penchant for

conversation over violence, for delicious anticipation rather than delivery. Inglorious Basterds is a genuine art movie, right down to its subtitles and crimson and gold surfaces. Nothing is as rapt here as Tarantino’s swoon over a beautiful girl on a ladder, leaning on a block-wide, blazing theater marquee, polishing the letters spelling out the name of HenriGeorges Clouzot. Le Corbeau is showing during its first run. “France respects directors,” says the theater owner, “Emanuelle Mimieux.” Even Occupied France, it seems. The lady is distracted from her marquee work by the attention of a persistent, baby-faced German officer, Fredrick Zoller (Daniel Brühl). Zoller’s frontline heroism, as a sniper with a body count of about 30, is being rendered into a kind of Nazi Audie Murphy movie called Nation’s Pride. (“They think I will be the German Van Johnson,” Zoller says winningly.) Tentative romance and repulsion between the theater owner and the sniper continue to the film’s end. Then, the Basterds, uncomfortably tuxed, appear undercover in the presence of Nazi luminaries, while Raine holds forth about his youth “at the base of Piz Palü.” As they dodge a

crowdful of champagne swillers, shaky scrawled captions and arrows point out Goebbels and the rest of the Allied Forces’ Most Wanted List. Tarantino gloms on to all of our movie fantasies of the Satanic ornateness of the Third Reich. The evil is beautifully saturated and looks an inch thick. Even a standard poodle, belonging to Goebbels’ girlfriend, looks like it ought be tried at Nuremberg. As the Basterds continue their outrages, Hitler foams in his lair, vowing reprisals and revenge: “Nein! Nein! ... I will hang them by their heels from the Eiffel Tower!” Once, Russ Meyer, another director who cared little for matters of good taste, was pleased to guest-star a character playing the elusive Martin Bormann in two of his films. Like Mel Brooks, Meyer had been in a soldier in the war: one reason among many that gave them license to have any fun they wanted with those inglorious Nazi bastards. Tarantino follows their example. Personally, I don’t mind seeing the occasional Nazi getting posthumously scalped. Sic semper tyrannis, and in movie terms, their lives are worth about as much as the zombies they resemble. And remember the grindhouse creed, as expressed by

Reviews by Michael S. Gant, Steve Palopoli and Richard von Busack.

New Adam (PG; 99 min.) Hugh Dancy stars as Adam, a New Yorker with Asperger’s Syndrome, a high-functioning autistic with empathy disorders. Rose Byrne is Beth, his upstairs neighbor; except for a few melancholy jokes this gloomy-looking date movie for very, very shy people doesn’t go farther than boy meets girl. Director Max Mayer stays on topic; Adam’s love of outer-space exploration and the galaxies mirrors his own alienlike responses (it’s as if Mayer is telling us, “What’s the matter, don’t you like Mr. Spock?â€?); the reference to the children’s tale about the emperor’s new clothes is also supposed to celebrate Adam’s pitilessly honest responses to the world around him. Comic bits by Jeff Hiller as a supercilious waiter and Mark Linn-Bale as a fauxfriendly boss help this out. The subplotting of Peter Gallagher and Amy Irving as Beth’s parents is just ďŹ ller. Byrne’s channeling of the young Diane Keaton is more uncanny than anything Max does. (Plays at the Guild in Menlo Park.) (RvB) 48 Hour Film Project The local stop on a roving festival of nearly 50 cities. Four programs of independent ďŹ lms—some locally made—all shot in a two-day-and-night deadline.

Love Bites ‘Thirst’: Beware a holy vampire

A

SENSITIVE PRIEST named Sang-hyun (Song Kang-ho) gets a blood transfusion that saves him from a lethal bout of hemorrhagic fever in Africa. When he returns, a small mob of devotees herald him as a holy wonder worker. Back in his hometown in Korea, the still unwell protagonist of Thirst is taken in by a petit bourgeois family who knew him when he was a boy. The matriarch is a smug dressmaker with a successful shop. Her chronically ill son lounges around in long underwear the color of dried mustard. The son is nursed by his wife—a foster daughter turned daughter-in-law, who married the idiot heir-apparent to the shop out of a desperate lack of anything better to do. Tae-ju, the daughter-in-law, is a workhorse with no hopes; she’s a sicklooking bird herself and seems ready to keel over from that old silent-movie disease, neurasthenia. But when Tae-ju gets to know the sensitive priest, with his gentle old-young face and round glasses—so chaste, so suffering, so strangely like John Lennon—something carnal awakes in her. Sanghyun doesn’t quite realize he has an appetite for corpuscles yet. It strikes him suddenly, when he’s giving extreme unction to an accident victim. That one fast lick of his own bloody thumb opens the doors of perception, giving him all that pulp ďŹ ction vampires have: superstrength, the ability to climb walls, the ability to really see and smell the world around him. And he notices Tae-ju, married or not. The priest is far too pious to do anything about his yearnings. He feeds his hunger by sipping the IV tube of a comatose patient in a hospital. When Tae-ju at last seduces this celibate priest, the breakthrough makes him lose his faith and descend deeper into vampirism. Kim Ok-vin, playing Tae-ju the adulteress (turned, inevitably to murderess), is a phenomenal lewdling. She redeďŹ nes the terms “pale and interesting.â€? It’s the victim in her that draws a compulsive sympathizer like Sang-hyun, who can’t understand there’ll be some rage in a doormat girl if she suddenly gets a little supernatural power. The ďŹ lm’s Catholic side is waiting to be teased out; the title could derive from “Come unto me all you who thirst.â€? And thanks to his superhealing ability, Sang-hyun can allow his spiritual adviser, a blind priest, to feel his own bleeding heart through a self-made wound in his side; it’s a horror-comedy version of the legend of doubting St. Thomas. The little ideas that director Park Chan-wook throws out are all winners; for example, a vampire briskly patting a victim’s neck, like a phlebotomist trying to raise up a vein. It’s an inspired notion to add blood sucking to the source novel, Zola’s scandalous ThĂŠrèse Raquin. Thirst keeps running with these ideas into extra innings: crazed vignettes when Sang-hyun and Tae-ju have a clash of philosophy over how to treat the rest of humanity. Park’s violent Oldboy left me coldly impressed. If his direction in Oldboy was like the work of the Brian De Palma who made Sisters, Thirst is like the work of the Brian De Palma who made Carrie: the Korean director is now an all-around entertainer with a ghastly, boundlessly pervy sense of humor and a devotion to sophisticated camera work. Who composes horror-movie shots anymore? When talking about “Grand Guignolâ€?—the mix of gore and melodrama that early-20th-century hip Parisians enjoyed, the grandeur gets forgotten: here are the heightened emotions and plausible insanity that make horror great. Richard von Busack THIRST (R; 133 min.), directed by Park Chan-wook, written by Jeong Seo-Gyeong and Park and starring Song Kang-ho and Kim Ok-vin, opens Friday.

Wizards of Aus ‘Not Quite Hollywood’ tells the story of the seamy side of Australian cinema

O

DD: Two of the largest nations of the British Commonwealth managed to find their identities through sons of the Scots clan of Kenzie. Check it out: Canada’s SCTV fulfilled its requirement for local broadcasting by creating Bob and Doug McKenzie, two idiot representatives of the Great White North. And since then, Canadians say “Eh?” ironically. But in Australia, an fictional “ocker” (dolt) called Barry McKenzie championed a distinctive Australianness in two separate movies. The amazing documentary Not Quite Hollywood gives us an excerpt of both McKenzie movies, particularly the Bruce Beresford–directed Barry McKenzie Holds His Own (1974). It is capped with the hero chundering Paris from the tip of the Tour d’Eiffel: “Owf! I have a funny feeling in my Ned Kelly [belly]. I’m gonna cry, ‘Ruth’!” This vomit spray—piquant, visceral, polychrome and under pressure— suggests the content of Not Quite Hollywood, as well as its bold attack on high culture. Director Mark Hartley’s irreplaceable documentary about the golden age of “Ozsploitation” has it all going on. Directors down under had a bruising but lucrative field day, from the opening up of censorship regulations in the early 1970s until direct-to-video saturated the grind market in 1985. The documentary starts its analysis with Age of Consent (1969). I wish the real implication of Michael Powell’s last movie had been explored. It’s referenced because of an old interview with star James Mason, mourning that Australia always promotes kangaroos and koalas to a world little interested in either beast. In fact, Age of Consent is an excellent forecast of what was to come in Australian cinema in the 1970s: naked chicks (Helen Mirren getting quite a sunburn) and a generous selection of Queensland hillbillies drinking beer and falling over. In quickly edited, delirious bursts we get concentrated doses of what regaled Australians in their drive-ins. First, no-punches-pulled documentaries on Melbourne lingerie shortages, such as Australia After Dark (complete with forbidden footage of a black mass). Even nudity wore off, and then came the roughest stuff, such as the killer-hog movie Razorback (1984): “It was a $10 million movie with a $10 pig,” comments director Russell Mulcahy. One marvels at the extremes of Turkey Shoot, a.k.a. Escape 2000 (“Utterly beyond redemption!” raved the L.A. Times). The roster goes on: giant saltwater crocs, the comatose madman Patrick, the Mad Max trilogy, filmed by an equally mad director and suicidal stuntmen. And not to be forgotten: Mad Dog Morgan. As consolation for being raped onscreen, star Dennis Hopper got so drunk that he was banned from Australia for life. I use italics, yes. This is significant drunkenness. The film critics interviewed here are marvels of intransigence: rumbling old gentlemen of the press, they stand by their original judgment that these grindhousers were leeches and insects. Interviewee Quentin Tarantino makes up for these fogys’ lack of enthusiasm. As always, one wishes more light and less heat from QT. Can’t blame the man, though. What a cornucopia of crazy Not Quite Hollywood presents! And it’s a heartening story, showing the transformation of a ’roo-ridden corner of the Empire to a nation with its own inimitable identity. As director Philippe Mora said of McKenzie and many worse examples of onscreen misbehavior: “There are always morons who see satire as documentary.” Richard von Busack NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD (R; 103 min.), a documentary by Mark Hartley, opens Friday at Camera 12 in San Jose.

**

Tyrone Power is forced onto the right side of the law when Morgan becomes governor of Jamaica, but there’s still one pirate at large: Redbeard (George Sanders). Maureen O’Hara stars in the governor’s daughter role. BILLED WITH The Mark of Zorro. The story of the enigmatic avenger of California, a land plagued by misrule and greedy landlords, then as now. Rouben Mamoulian directs the film as a series of black/white contrasts: white-hot, sun-struck villages and the black rider who awakens them. Let me count the ways: Tyrone Power’s on-the-spot decision to pose as a satin-loving pantywaist (“Swordplay is such a violent business”); our hero’s entrance, dousing a candle with a flick of his blade, making it seem as if a dark room is illuminated by Zorro’s glowing eyes; the catlike Basil Rathbone as Capt. Pasquale, nastily switching his sword back and forth in his eagerness to perforate someone, anyone, in preparation

for the lethal close-quarters duel in finale. (Plays Aug 21-24 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) Lawrence of Arabia (1962) How England gave up its best to make Iraq British. David Lean’s epic—a relic of an age when movies weren’t just big, but smart, too—tells of Col. T.E. Lawrence, the British agent provocateur who stirred up nationalist revolt in “Mesopotamia” during World War I. The plan was to protect both the Suez Canal and the oil supply from the hostile Ottoman Empire of the Turks. The Arab world as we know it was precipitated by Lawrence, and the world has been reaping the benefits and suffering the consequences ever since. What this movie is about is a man, played by the messianically beautiful young Peter O’Toole, and his friend Ali (another looker, Omar Sharif). The two battle against the sadistic Turks, particularly the Bey Jose Ferrer, whose mistreatment of Lawrence is a

little more clear in the uncensored versions. The photography in Super Panavision 70 by Freddie Young (billed as “Frederick A.”) made this a monster hit. With Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins and Anthony Quinn. (Plays Aug 21-22 at 7pm at the California Theatre in San Jose.) (RvB) The Incredibles (2004) Forbidden by law to practice his vocation as a masked superhero, the yearning dad Mr. Incredible is recruited as a private consultant, only to stumble across a plot by a new and powerful enemy. Director Brad Bird has concocted a superdrama of family reconciliation. He does this without stinting the real pain of a father who fears he’s become useless. (Plays Aug 20 in Redwood City at sundown in Old Courthose Square; free; bring lawn chairs or blankets.) (RvB) Niles Film Museum Silent films. Aug 22: Hands Up! (1926) with Raymond Griffith—a satire of the actionpacked serials in which our hero evades trouble in the Civil War and Out West. Also: The Noon Whistle (1923) with Stan Laurel and His Marriage Wow (1925) with Harry Langdon. Bruce Loeb at the piano. (Plays Aug 22 at 7:30 in Fremont at the Niles Film Museum, 37417 Niles Blvd.) (RvB) A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) Marlon Brando plays a brute who outwits a poor cracked butterfly (Vivien Leigh). Tennessee Williams’ view of this drama was that it concerned “the ravishment of the tender, the sensitive, the delicate ...”; Stanley Kowalski’s gusto for life turns this into a drama in which we sympathize with the cruel, the callous and the strong. A Marlon Brando impersonation contest begins the evening. (Plays Aug 19 in downtown San Jose at sundown at Post Street between Market and First streets; bring lawn chairs or blankets; free.) (RvB) The Women/Humoresque (1939/1946) The mother of all bitch fests: Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Joan Fontaine and the tedious Norma Shearer (as the good wife, naturally) in an all-female freeform battle over men. You couldn’t dream of calling it feminist—except in the Cosmopolitan sense—but it’s as unique as it is long. The Technicolor fashion show is a psychedelic delight. BILLED WITH Humoresque. Jean Negulesco’s fraught drama about a classy but alcoholic older woman (Joan Crawford) and the fiery young classical violinist she “sponsors”: John Garfield, the sultry but doomed pre-Method actor, here given a script co-written by Clifford Odets to sink his teeth into. (Plays Aug 19-20 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

Reviews Adam (PG; 99 min.) Hugh Dancy stars as Adam, a New Yorker with Asperger’s Syndrome, a high-functioning autistic with empathy disorders. Rose Byrne is Beth, his upstairs neighbor; except for a few melancholy jokes this gloomy-looking date movie for very, very shy people doesn’t go farther than boy meets girl. Director Max Mayer stays on topic; Adam’s love of outer-space exploration and the galaxies mirrors his own alienlike responses (it’s as if Mayer is telling us, “What’s the matter, don’t you like Mr. Spock?”); the reference to the children’s tale about the emperor’s new clothes is also supposed to celebrate Adam’s pitilessly honest responses to the world around him. Comic bits by Jeff Hiller as a supercilious waiter and Mark Linn-Bale as a faux-friendly boss help this out. The subplotting of Peter Gallagher and Amy Irving as Beth’s parents is just filler. Byrne’s channeling of the young Diane Keaton is more uncanny than anything Max does. (RvB) Bandslam (PG; 111 min.) Todd Graff (Camp) directs an alterna-kids movie about a group of misfits getting a rock band together. Vanessa Hudgens and Lisa Kudrow co-star.

FILM REVIEW

District 9 (R; 112 min.) Humans and alien refugees live in close and uncomfortable proximity in Johannesburg in dystopian sci-fi thriller by Neill Blomkamp. The story is told documentary style, as we follow the mysterious disappearance of Wikus (Sharito Copley), a human employee of Multi-National United. During a raid on the alien camp, Wikus is sprayed with some alien fluid. After this incident, we can cut and paste in much of David Cronenberg’s version of The Fly, as the smarmy Wikus begins to mutate, losing his fingernails and teeth. (RvB)

Alexis Bledel returns to an empty nest in timely yet dated ‘Post Grad’

I

T HAPPENED to me, and it’ll happen to you; after a few years of film watching, you become less interested in the leads and more interested in the secondaries, because they were the stars of a favorite era, now playing supporting roles. Michael Keaton and Carol Burnett take smaller credits than the leads of the film Post Grad: Alexis Bledel and Zach Gilford, a pair of goodlooking TV stars misplaced on the bigger screen. The camera isn’t in love with the leads; it’s more like the camera just wants to be friends. Bledel (Gilmore Girls) is like a composite of Zooey Deschanel and Emily Blunt—the devilish chin and the wide blue eyes, maybe more lapis lazuli than Zooey’s cornflower blue. But Bledel’s part, Ryden Malby, isn’t one that can be easily played. Ryden is supposed to be a reader, but she doesn’t seem to derive any ideas from these books, besides a sort of urge to climb up in the world. (The scene of this pretty, slightly vacant girl, describing how much Bukowski meant to her, is one of the really strange moments in Post Grad.) Considering the dreadful economy, the script by Kelly Fremon has a timely idea about “boomerang kids”: college graduates who end up living at home, dealing with diminished expectations. Ryden was snaked out of her dream job by her rival Jessica (Catherine Reitman). The heroine is forced to move back home with her eccentric suburban family. Adam (Gilford), the boy next door (they almost call him that), has had a crush on Ryden since she was young, but she’s always thought of him as a friend. We don’t get a sense of this movie really moving in any direction. Director Vicki Jenson comes out of a background of animation (Shrek, among others). Sight gags aren’t really Jenson’s skill, and it’s strange how unsprung and shapeless Post Grad is. The film consists of a string of subplots. And though we get a villainess in Jessica, she never really does anything serious for Ryden to react to; she snubs the heroine but doesn’t plot against her. So, Post Grad is a chalky mix of the twentysomething love triangle and a John Hughes family movie. Ultimately, one prefers the family movie because of the performers. Keaton plays the father, a bumbler who runs a luggage shop and who wants to be his own boss in a “Buckalo Bill” novelty belt-buckle business. There’s a little aggression and raspiness in the way he plays this likable loser. As Ryden’s mom, Jane Lynch doesn’t have to do anything; she gives off an aura of sarcasm so thick that even her mildest reactions have some sort of payoff. Mostly, I was watching Burnett as the grandma. Burnett is undergoing rediscovery now. A quick look at her old work shows what the fuss was about: her Gone With the Wind parody and her version of the famous gown Scarlett O’Hara made out of the sewn-up curtains. Burnett’s Maureen arrives in a crowded auditorium with steel oxygen tank and long plastic tubes, pushing her way through the people who arrived on time. She ends up bonking a few people with a heavy purse as she sits down. When one of the sufferers complains, Burnett stage whispers, very clearly—like someone talking to an idiot toddler—”I’m dying,” before sitting back, smiling smugly and twiddling the tubes around her fingers, as if she were doing a little macramé. Whatever was in that tank, this movie could have used a huff of it. Richard von Busack POST GRAD (PG-13; 89 min.), directed by Vicky Jenson, written by Kelly Fremon, photographed by Charles Minsky and starring Alexis Bledel, opens Aug. 21.

Lorna’s Silence (R 105 min.) In urban Belgium, the Albanian girl Lorna (Arta Dobroshi) pays Claudy (Jérémy Renier) to marry her so she can get citizenship papers. He’s a junkie, but he cares for Lorna, and reacting to his emotional turmoil, Lorna makes an impulsive gesture at the risk of dooming herself. A good story, based on an authenticsounding criminal scam. Telling it, JeanPierre and Luc Dardenne violate their previous furtiveness and subtlety: those qualities that made them by miles the most interesting filmmakers in the business of charting the demands of a Christian ethos.

Porn Into Exile VooDoo Lounge brings two musical outlaws who lived double lives as smut peddlers By Steve Palopoli

HIS is the story of two men who changed music. Maybe not for the better. But maybe so. According to the official story, they couldn’t have been more different. One was a longhaired white redneck whose career as a Nashville hitmaker was shadowed by reckless behavior and accusations of racism. The other was a successful African-American R&B songwriter who had a hit of his own in the 1960s. And yet, their paths crossed unexpectedly in the 1970s, when, for reasons that will be forever known only to them, they both risked their careers to record some of the filthiest, most offensive underground records that had ever been committed to wax. And now their paths will cross again when VooDoo Lounge brings both Blowfly (Aug. 21) and David Allan Coe (Aug. 26–27) in the same week. There are other eerie similarities: both of these musical mavericks donned masks for their ’70s period of extreme output. Both were accused of misogyny

for their crude songs about sex. Both were obsessed with race and were not above using the dreaded N-word in the same song that referenced the KKK. And most importantly of all, both saw their underground songs as comedy, meant to entertain with shock and awe. When controversy came knocking, they seemed genuinely surprised that anyone was even listening, let alone taking them seriously.

The Nasty Rapper Clarence Reid was just 20 years old when, basically, he recorded the first ever rap song. It was 1965, and the song was called “Rap Dirty.” But Reid didn’t want his career as the man who wrote and produced songs for “serious” R&B artists like Wilson Pickett and Sam & Dave—and later, disco acts like KC& the Sunshine Band—to be compromised. He’d also had the hit “Nobody But You Babe” under his real name. So he came

up with the alter-ego Blowfly, supposedly after his grandmother heard his X-rated rapping and told him, “You’re the nastiest thing I ever met, you’re no better than a blowfly.” “I’m known around the world as the nasty rapper,” he proudly declared. His debut album, 1971’s The Weird World of Blowfly, is just bizarre. It features two songs about farting, one of them a spoof of “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head” and the other of Curtis Mayfield’s “Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um.” It’s not hard to imagine which song “Hole Man” is parodying. Everything else is either about scat or sex, or both. It’s funny, but a lot like the Xrated party records of the time. More original is 1978’s Porno Freak, and his best album, 1980’s Blowfly’s Party. Besides possibly inventing the genre of rap, Blowfly also laid the groundwork for graphic gangstas like the Geto Boys and Eminem, and was a direct inspiration for sex-crazed hip-hop crazies like Kool Keith.

Interestingly, “Rap Dirty” also touched on the same theme of police racism that Ice Cube would blow up years later—and even sounds a little like “Fuck Tha Police.”

Nothing Sacred Texas singer/songwriter David Allan Coe came up in the time of outlaw country—“Willie, Waylon and Me,” he would famously sing. His song “Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone)” was a No. 1 hit for Tanya Tucker in 1973, and later recorded memorably by Johnny Cash. Johnny Paycheck went to the top of the country chart with Coe’s song “Take This Job and Shove It” in 1977, a few years before the punkers in the Dead Kennedys got a hold of it. Coe’s songs are well-known to fans of real country music— “Longhaired Redneck” is possibly the definitive anthem of ’70s country (“they tell me I look like Merle Haggard, and sound a lot like David Allan Coe”). +)

But in 1978, Coe appeared to have lost his mind. The record he put out that year, Nothing Sacred, is almost certainly the craziest and most offensive album ever released by a popular country artist. That is, until his follow-up underground album, 1982’s Underground Album. Taken together, the pair of records are so over the top you have to wonder how no one talked him out of releasing them. With songs about gagging “Linda Lovelace,â€? the joys of “Whips and Things,â€? and voting segregationist as part of the KKK in “Rails,â€? the albums have left countless jaws dropped over the years. The politics make no sense—“Fuck Anita Bryantâ€? manages to be both pro-gay and anti-gay at the same time (“Throw that bitch in prison, maybe then she’ll see just how much those goddamn homosexuals mean to meâ€?). Another thing that’s made Coe’s underground records legendary is the fact that even as nasty jokes, they sound pretty incredible. “Pick Em, Lick Em, Stick Emâ€? is a misanthropic parody of Kenny Rogers’ “The Gambler.’ “Nothing Sacredâ€? is an equally brutal gospel spoof. “Fuckin in the Buttâ€? is, unbelievably, the best bluegrass song Ralph Stanley never wrote, at least musically. “Rock and Roll Feverâ€? slams the Stones for choosing rock over the Grand Ole Opry, while at the same time rocking harder than Mick and Keith had since Exile on Main Street. Perhaps because he was so much more visible than Blowy, Coe took a bigger hit for the controversy surrounding his underground records. Despite the proequal-rights and anti-racist lyrics of his other, “realâ€? songs, and his protestations that his offensive songs were just tasteless jokes (and that he had a black drummer at the time he was recording them), Coe hasn’t been able to quite shake the legacy of his most infamous tunes. Even worse for him, he is often mistakenly credited with the genuinely white-power songs of Johnny Rebel, which was the pseudonym Clifford Joseph Trahan used on racist recordings in the 1960s (and again after the attacks of 9/11), thanks to sloppy labeling on early download sites like Napster and Audiogalaxy. To this day, in big red letters on the front page of Coe’s website, it says: “DAC is not Johnny Rebel.â€?

Going along with whatever you’re told can really muck up your life (or your afterlife, if you believe in that sort of thing). Take the jihadists. They’re told they’ll go to heaven if they blow themselves and a bunch of other people up for Allah. As for what they’ll get upon arrival, it’s 72 . . . well . . . it turns out there’s some dispute about the translation: It’s either 72 virgins or 72 white raisins. Meanwhile, back at bodyworker ranch and nudie museum, you, too, were just following orders: “Back problems? Just strip down to your panties, get on your hands and knees, and bark like a dog.” No, he didn’t ask you that last bit, but if he did, I have a sneaking suspicion your response would’ve been “Pekingese or Chinese Crested?” Like too many women, you can sense trouble, but care more about not seeming like trouble. You finally hinted that you were uncomfortable, but he only had to get huffy, and your self-doubt made you quick to give him the benefit of the doubt. Being so compliant doesn’t just lead to creepy experiences but to dangerous or deadly ones. As Gavin de Becker writes in The Gift of Fear, “The first time a woman is hit, she is a victim and the second time, she is a volunteer.” Unfortunately, your actions don’t just

affect you; there’s the love child of Adolf Hitler and Freddy Krueger (also known as your 6-year-old). Not only does your new husband believe, sans evidence, in utter crap, he weaponizes it and uses it against your kid. Now, it’d be one thing if he’d pointed out little Priscilla skinning the neighbor’s cat. Instead, he announces that her “energy field” is “shocking” (pink?) and she “can’t connect with the divine.” Please. Whatever “the divine” is, she’s 6. She can barely connect with silverware. You end up in these situations because you have the ability to reason but you live like meat meandering through life. Your husband didn’t become a mean mooch; he always was one. Why are you only noticing now? Well, it’s a little hard to see when you close your eyes, cross your fingers, and hope for the best. Figure out who you are and what you value, then develop the selfrespect to stand up for it. It beats believing everybody but you is a guru. That’s the kind of thinking that’ll have you taking your daughter in to have her “aura” steamcleaned, and maybe even taking advantage of the special: Not only will they discover you have cancer, for just $3,999.99, they’ll cure it by waving a chicken foot over it while you wait.

Exactly what are you doing while you’re not calling me?” On the Internet or off, only if a guy initiates another date should you consider him a possibility. But, the Internet dating venue could be part of the problem. In a bar, there might be another cute girl or

two; on the web, there are always 10,000 more where you came from. Studies by social psychologist Sheena S. Iyengar and others suggest humans want a vast array of options, but with more than a handful, tend to choose poorly and be unhappy with their choices. And, you know what they say . . . misery loves company— providing it’s spiritual but not religious, toned/athletic, and not into games.

listened to very attentively as a child. Perhaps you were dressed in clothes you didn’t like, hugged only three times a year and fed food you were allergic to. I suppose it’s even possible that your parents were psychotic drug dealers who kept you chained to a radiator in their squalid basement. If that’s the case, Aries, I would understand if you had an urge to devote the next three decades to bewailing your bitter past and scheming up ways to wreak revenge on the cruel world. But if you have ever been curious about whether there might be better ways to allocate your time and energy, I have good news. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you now have it in your power to overcome your toughest memories and set out on a course to become almost as secure as if those bad things had never happened.

IVjgjh (April 20–May 20): Let’s say you’re listening to your favorite band on a stereo system. There is a place between the two speakers where you will hear the two streams of music blend perfectly, exactly as the sound engineer intended. This place is called the sweet spot. If you play tennis or baseball, you know about another version of the term “sweet spot.” It’s the area on the racquet or the bat where you get best results when striking the ball. According to my astrological analysis, Taurus, this will be your ruling metaphor for the next three weeks. You have arrived at your very own sweet spot—the embodiment of all that is melodious, graceful, delicious, aromatic, and effective. <Zb^c^ (May 21–June 20): Squirrels often bury the nuts they find, intending to come back and retrieve their bounty at a later time. The only trouble is, they sometimes forget where their hiding places are, and the nuts go uneaten. This, at least, is the story told by children’s book writer Beatrice Potter, and I regard her as an authority on such matters. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because you’re entering a phase when it will be wise for you to track down and accumulate extra reserves of a prime resource. As you do, make sure you remember all the pertinent details that will allow you to fully access them when you need them in the future. 8VcXZg ( June 21–July 22): For better or worse, you are at least temporarily becoming more psychic. It could be a blessing, or it might be a bit of a burden. You may really enjoy having an enhanced ability to tune in to what people are thinking and feeling, and it could prove eminently useful. Knowing what’s really on everyone’s mind might give you a significant edge as you work to turn grand fantasies into well-grounded realities. But it also might tax your empathy or tempt you to ignore boundaries that should be upheld. I hope that by informing you of this situation, I have made it far more likely that your higher sensitivity will be a gift instead of a glitch. AZd ( July 23–Aug. 22): Your strategies are very

close to working. The results you’ve generated so far are almost useful, bordering on successful, and on the brink of being beautiful. My question now is: You won’t stop here, will you? You’ve already garnered a measure of recognition. You’ve gotten a taste of victory over your old bugaboos. Will you be satisfied with these partial breakthroughs, or will you fight and kick and scratch to strip away the almosts and ascend to utter triumph?

K^g\d (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): No more rotten dessert, Virgo. No more silky danger or juicy poison. No more worthless treasures or empty successes or idiotic brilliance. Soon all those crazy-making experiences will be gone, blasted, dead. By this time next week, the bad influences that were trying to pass themselves off as good influences will have fallen away in response to your courageous drive for authenticity. You will be primed to restore your innocence and play in places where purity is the rule, not the exception. Already, the wisdom of your wild heart is regenerating, giving you the strength to overthrow the sour, life-hating influences that were threatening to smother your spirit. A^WgV (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): An epic treasure hunt will soon begin. Are you ready for it? I don’t think you are. To get yourself in shape to perform at a high level, I suggest that you open your mind wider than you ever have before. The clues that will be most helpful won’t resemble any clues you’ve ever

valued in the past, and they’ll be arriving from unforeseen sources. I’ll give you a hint about what to look for in the early going of the quest for the magic boon: What circumstance in your life has a certain metaphorical similarity to a speakeasy during the time when alcohol sales were illegal in America?

HXdge^d (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): It’s not a favorable

moment to get your honey’s name tattooed on your forearm. Maybe in November, but not now. On the other hand, it’s an excellent time to determine whether your lover is willing to have your name tattooed on his or her forearm. In the coming weeks, I also encourage you to figure out which of your allies would give you half of their fudge brownie and which wouldn’t; which authority figures would be inclined to give you precisely what you want rather than see you walk out of their lives; and which of your associates are too jealous of you to be truly helpful. Be cagey about how you apply the tests, Scorpio. See if you can subtly gauge where everyone stands in relationship to you.

HV\^iiVg^jh (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): I’d like to discuss

The Game. Do you know what I mean? I’m talking about The Unnamed Game. The Uber-Game that is so vast and all-encompassing that it’s virtually a secret. What if you discovered that one of the seemingly sacrosanct rules of The Game was really just a local ordinance, and no longer applied if you played in a different arena or at a higher level? And what if I said that in this different arena or higher level, new allies are poised to introduce you to loopholes and shortcuts you never imagined existed?

8Veg^Xdgc (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): I think you’ve been

lurking and slinking long enough, Capricorn. For now, you’ve learned all you need to know about wrestling with camouflage and subterfuge. You’ve done all you could to clean up the crooked places and bring integrity to the twisted stories. Now it’s high time for you to come out and play—to exit the claustrophobic maze and make a break for wideopen spaces. Some cautionary advice: To keep from getting pinched by trick endings, make sure all sales are final and all goodbyes are complete.

6fjVg^jh ( Jan. 20–Feb. 18): Technically, this

would be an excellent time to shuck all your responsibilities and plunge into a week-long bacchanalia, complete with rowdy feasting and delirious dancing and lunatic laughter and erotic abandon and mind-altering emotions. Realistically, though, while such an interlude might do wonders for your relationship with yourself, it could dampen your relationships with people who rely on you. Unless of course you could coax them into joining you on your binge.

E^hXZh (Feb. 19–March 20): Did you ever notice

that some people seem to be addicted to falling in love over and over again? While they may truly have a natural propensity to exult in the beauty of a great variety of their fellow humans, I also suspect that their addiction serves as an excuse for them to fall in love with themselves over and over again. At least in part, each new romantic partner is a pawn in their strategy for coming back home to themselves. Here’s what I’m inclined to ask these people: Why not simply eliminate the middleman or middlewoman? I’m not necessarily implying that you’ll benefit from this advice right now, Pisces. But then why did a soft, lulling voice in my head just suggest that I tell it to you?

DgZ# Hard to say. Were these vegetables and fruits they were actually planning to eat? Manufacturers treat wood with arsenic for the same reason you don’t want it in food—it kills things, in this case the bacteria, fungi and insects that would otherwise nibble on the wood. Although several wood treatments contain arsenic, the compound of greatest concern is chromated copper arsenate (CCA), a trifecta of dangerous chemicals that at one time (like 1990) was used on almost all the pressure-treated lumber in the United States. Although CCA is supposed to stay put, small amounts can leach out when the wood is exposed to the elements. CCA-treated garden borders aren’t the only thing leaking arsenic into the environment; the same can happen with treated-wood mulch or chips, decking and traffic sound barriers. Of the chemicals in CCA, arsenic is the most dangerous due to its toxicity and ease of uptake by plants (although hexavalent chromium, which you may remember from the film Erin Brockovich, can be pretty bad). To find out how much arsenic could end up in your salad bowl via CCA-laden garden borders, University of Minnesota researchers tested carrots, spinach, bush beans and buckwheat grown in raised beds built with CCA-treated wood. All the beds were at least 10 years old. Soil and plant samples were taken at varying distances from the wood border. In all cases arsenic levels were highest near the wood and dropped off quickly toward the center of the beds. Example: carrots grown next to treated wood contained four to 11 times the arsenic found in those grown four feet away. Complicating matters was the huge variation in the treated wood’s arsenic content—a ratio of more than 60 to 1 between the worst and best cases. So what’s the risk? In their worst-case scenario, the Minnesota researchers found that a 132-pound person who ate seven ounces of spinach would narrowly exceed the daily arsenic limit established by the

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Separate tests by the Connecticut Agricultural Station reached a similar conclusion: if you ate more than 11 ounces of fresh lettuce grown next to CCAcontaining boards you could exceed the limit. The actual amount of arsenic in play here is minute—just 92 micrograms in the Minnesota example—and let’s face it, even for greens lovers, a half to three-quarters of a pound is some serious spinach. Still, the danger was enough that CCA has been banned for most residential uses in the United States and Europe since 2004. What do you do about CCA-treated wood in garden beds now? At minimum you want to plant fruits and vegetables a foot or two away from the border. (The Minnesota researchers recommend 15 inches.) If whatever you’re growing has voluminous roots or you’re just the cautious sort, you can line the bed with plastic. Eventually, of course, you’ll want to replace the wood with something less problematic. Be warned, though: one thing you don’t want to do is try to get rid of CCAtreated wood by burning it or sawing it up. Although reports of environmental arsenic poisoning are rare, those we do see often involve dust, ash, or the like from sawn or incinerated CCA-treated wood. One case involved a rural Wisconsin family that suffered a scary list of ailments including epileptic seizures, seasonal baldness, rashes, diarrhea, headaches, bronchitis, and blackouts. They were lucky nobody died—the arsenic level in some of their hair samples was found to be more than 100 times normal. Turned out they’d been burning CCA-treated lumber scraps in their wood stove for three years.

California law requires that contractors taking jobs that total $500 or more (labor or materials) be licensed by the Contractors State License Board. State law also requires that contractors include their license number on all advertising. You can check the status of your licensed contractor at www.cslb.ca.gov or 1-800321-CSLB (2752). Unlicensed contractors taking jobs that total less than $500 must state in their advertisements that they are not licensed by the Contractors State License Board.
