E3B:/<2A E/B163@ Mark Silberstein says the quality of water in the slough has actually improved over the last two decades.

the Salinas Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;water loaded with fertilizers and pesticidesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;collects in the harbor during low tide and is pushed upstream and distributed throughout the sloughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterways when the tides return.

John Haskins, a water quality specialist at the reserve, says this phenomenon is a onetwo punch on the environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the Salad Bowl of the U.S. draining into the harbor, then being pushed up into

every part of the estuary,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water quality, I believe, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest problem facing the reserve right now.â&#x20AC;?

Farmers in the area are used to having fingers pointed at them when it comes to environmental concerns. They argue, however, that the amount of fertilizer and pesticides they use is negligible, and that farming practices on the Central Coast are the most environmentally friendly in the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These days the profit margins are so slim that

you can only use the bare minimum of fertilizer and pesticides if you want to turn a profit,â&#x20AC;? says Mark Munger, vice president of Marketing for Sundance Berry Farms, a national chain with a strawberry farm a few miles from Elkhorn Slough.

Whether the farmers are to blame or not, every expert interviewed

by Santa Cruz Weekly maintains that there is no â&#x20AC;&#x153;silver bulletâ&#x20AC;? when it comes to improving conditions at Elkhorn Slough. They say environmentally conscious farming practicesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which include planting wild grasses between crop fields and runoff streamsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will need to combine with a yearly detection program for invasive species, added restrictions on water use for surrounding residents and farmers, and a rebuilt Salinas River mouth thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more natural, so as to tame the violent tides.

Only then can this diverse ecosystem end its reign as the problem child of Monterey Bay. 0

The 7.1 temblor wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the Big One. In fact, people now refer to it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Pretty Big One.â&#x20AC;? The Pretty Big One killed 66 people, caused $7 billion in damages, destroyed downtown Santa Cruz, portions of San Francisco and Watsonville, scores of homes in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and left more than 10,000 people homeless.

An NBC television crew is rumored to be waiting for Vice President Dan Quayle to arrive. The Vice President of Disaster is coming to the scene of a Disaster.

Later, G. and I retrace our steps thinking that Quayle, if he has in fact arrived, will by now have left. But he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even appeared. Next we learn that Gov. George Deukmejian will avoid a mob scene and detour to the demolished Warehouse Liquor Store on Soquel for a photo opportunity. A policeman says the Duke will appear for about 90 seconds, make no comment to anyone, and then leave.

Dan Quayle or George Bush may or may not come with the Duke. Quayle, Bush and the Duke apparently want to be seen â&#x20AC;&#x153;seeingâ&#x20AC;? the disaster area so they can be seen later in the day on television seeing the disaster area.

The Sun Also Goes Down aZg

I

T WAS HARD not to take the earthquake personally. That October Tuesday, my newspaper, The Sun, which I had started three years earlier in a surge of journalistic urgency and entrepreneurial folly, was on deadline, preparing to go to press the following morning. That week we were running a dining feature and were trying out some new food writers, including the editor (me), who contributed a short piece on the pleasures of cooking with olive oil, garlic and onion.

But I was distracted by less appetizing realities: our business manager, Cherie Maitland, had informed me earlier in the day that we, as a business, were broke. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough money in the bank to cover payroll.

As publisher and principal shareholder in the corporation I had founded and raised the capital to launch, and as the one who had gone back again and again to investors in search of additional operating funds, I was in despair as to how our staff of 15 was going to receive, as due on Friday, paychecks that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bounce. As an employer, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine a more distressing scenario than to leave my companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workers up a creek. It was a horrible feeling, and I had no idea what more could be done about it.

How had I gotten into such a mess?

When I returned to Santa Cruz in 1972, after being away for a year following grad school at UCSC, I discovered Sundaze, an investigative yet also highly imaginative underground newspaper that included among other things in its weekly format a full page of poetry. Sundaze was a great read because, in addition to doing the serious work of snooping out and exposing corruption in the body politic, it was also funny and unpredictable in its experimental journalism. This was a moment in the larger culture when a lot of conventional assumptions were being called into question, and the Sundaze gang, led by publisher Lee Swanson and editor Patrick Fox, was taking a local newspaper into zones of daring reportage and creativity previously unknown in Santa Cruz. As a rebellious young poet I was smitten with what Sundaze was doing, and soon I was publishing poems in there and contributing satirical prose under pen names like R. D. Pickle and The Champagne King.

An earthquake memoir

The Paper Chase The Sundaze sank in 1976, and that summer the Independent took its place. The Indy had some of the spirit of its predecessor, and some of the same people, but it resembled a more recognizable kind of radical newspaper, and appeared to have more of a normal business model. I started writing book reviews for the Indy, and the arts editor, Buz Bezore, ¨

liked my writing and soon had me doing a weekly column called Words. When editor Richard Cole departed, Buzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domain moved to the front of the paper, and he immediately installed me as an op-ed columnist with instructions to write about whatever interested me.

After initially resisting such a weighty assignment, soon enough I was hooked, and when, a few years later, the Indy folded and was succeeded in 1981 by the Express with Buz at the helm, I was on board from the beginning.

Five years after that, with the Express in a deathward spiral due to problems with the IRS among other pathologies, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;having put up my little Soquel Valley farmhouse as collateral for a loan to buy new typesetting equipmentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was called in by the board of directors to try to rescue the business. The board removed the current management and installed me as editor/publisher, but too late, and in a matter of weeks we had to put the paper out of its misery.

By then I had discovered that making a newspaper was serious fun, and at that timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;before the Internet and its myriad digital gizmosâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the printed word in a lightweight, disposable (or recyclable) form was by far the most vital medium for information and community dialogue on everything from politics

and culture to entertainment and food, from arts and ideas to gardening and health. By 1986 Santa Cruz, having been transformed over the preceding couple of decades from a sleepy conservative out-of-the-way town to a vortex of progressive politics and off beat artistic activity and University-fueled intellectual vigor, had shown that it needed a paper like the Express as an alternative to the Sentinel on one hand, with its sclerotic Republicanism, and the Good Times on the other, with its â&#x20AC;&#x153;lighter than airâ&#x20AC;? philosophy of publishing nothing that might trouble a potential advertiser.

The Express had been a paper you could actually enjoy reading because Buzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genius as an editor was to find good writers and turn them loose to write.

Now what would we do, writers and readers alike, without the Express?

Having saved my house from foreclosure by paying off that loan, I should have had the good sense to retire from the newspaper business and go back to being a poet. But I was in too deep; like most of my colleagues, I was addicted to newspapering. Immediately a group of ex-Express staffers began conspiring to create the incarnation of Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next alternative weekly. Somehow I got it in my head that if the new paper was adequately capitalized, organized and

j

A/<B/1@CH 1=; october 14-21, 2009 1=D3@ AB=@G

run like a real business rather than some kind of clubhouse, it might actually have a chance of succeedingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that is, surviving.

And so, The Sun was born. We published our first issue on Sept. 11, 1986, just a few months after the Express had gone down, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d taken over the lease of its offices upstairs at the corner of Cedar and Union streets, above what is now CaffĂŠ Bene. From my corner desk I had a fine view of the passing show outside, and as I slammed out editorials on my 1974 Adler manual portable (the same machine on which I am typing this) I could watch the parade of local characters enacting their daily dramas.

I loved the job despite the stresses of losing money week after week, and not being able to afford a health plan for the employees, and having to put up with angry politicians and activists and merchants who regularly complained that our agenda wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in line with theirs, and the various other aggravations of running a small business. In addition to writing and editing I was the boss, and therefore the rabbi in residence, the house shrink, the authority figure, the mediator, the person on whose desk every crisis landed.

On Oct. 17, 1989, the crisis was that we were out of money. Only a deus ex machina could save my assâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or whip it definitively.

San Andreas Waltz That afternoon our ace reporter and managing editor, Elizabeth Kadetsky, had asked me to pick up the prints of some photos she needed for a story she was finishing. At 5:04pm I was standing at the counter of Bay Photo Lab in Soquel when the shaking started. As a California native who had experienced many earthquakes, including the Northridge tremor of 1971 that jolted me out of my bed in Malibu, I was accustomed to taking them in stride, but this time the agitation was violent and prolonged enough to send the halfdozen people in the shop darting out into the parking lot to avoid being hit by falling objects. I stood there as the ground was rocking and rollingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not knowing the epicenter was just a few miles away in Nisene Marks State Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; then had to crouch into a four-point position to keep from being knocked off my feet.

When the shaking finally stopped after what felt like minutes, my first impulse was to re-enter Bay Photo and ask for the printsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we were still

on deadlineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but the manager said no way: their equipment was all on the floor. Driving back into town, as I approached Santa Cruz I could see pillars of smoke arising here and there.

Highway 1 northbound was closed past the Fishhook, so I took the Ocean Street exit and was surprised at how many plate-glass windows had shattered.

Clouds of whitish dust were hovering over the Pacific Garden Mall, and by the time I made it back to the office it was clear that what had just happened was not your average earthquake.

Inside the office the worst thing was that the water cooler had fallen over and Brooke Towne, our office manager, had cut herself on the broken glass.

Otherwise everyone was in one piece, if acutely rattled. Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with whom I was living at the time because, after working at adjacent desks for a year, we had fallen in loveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;had of course instinctively dashed out into the chaos of Pacific Avenue with her notebook and pen to report the story. The power was out, buildings had collapsed, parts of town were burning, everyone was spooked and we were obviously not going to make our deadline, so we called it a day and, rather than seek her out on the battlefield, I awaited the return of my reporter-inamorata.

Broken Hearth She turned up as the sun was going down, and we tried to drive home to our place in Soquel Valley, but roads were closed and we had to take a detour up Highway 17 and then across various back routes through the mountains over to Old San Jose Road. When we finally made it to our house on Hoover Roadâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; a mile-long private lane with some dozen families in residenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we found a domestic disaster: the Gold Rushâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;era redwood farmhouse, the one that had withstood the quake of 1906 and various storms and floods in the years since, had been knocked askew from its wooden foundation and appeared, in the dimming twilight, to be slightly tilted.

The floor was far enough out of level that I could barely force open the kitchen door, and we beheld on entry a gaping void in the center of the house where the granite fireplace had stood.

The chimney had plunged through the living room floor and was now a pile of masonry in the basement. An acrid smell of charred brick, spilled kerosene, dead ashes and mortar dust pervaded everything. My library was mostly on the floor, or in the basement among the ¨

fireplace stones, pictures had flown off the walls, and from the kitchen shelves dishes and glasses and food had been flung all over the room. Dusk could be discerned through the big hole in the ceiling.

I felt oddly calm, beyond shock or distress, as if floating above the catastrophe.

With dead wires everywhere and telephones out, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to work the next day, but Thursday I posted a note on the office door calling for a meeting Friday morning. It was clear to me the paper could not survive this cataclysm: aside from our own fiscal problems, our downtown advertising

base had been devastated, so even if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had the means to make it through the immediate aftermath, the businesses we depended on for cash flow had crises of their own to cope with. So I broke the news to the staff that we would put out one last issue and call it quits.

I asked each of our writers to cover the earthquake from a personal angle, geared to their particular beat, and told our regular visual artists to give me images of their own visions.

Spectacular Sunset Over the course of the next five days we put together The Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best issue

ever, a document that in its unabashed subjectivityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;each contributor offering a unique perspective on what had happenedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;caught in words and pictures a true-to-life account of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most apocalyptic event since the 1955 flood. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still proud of that issue, which I recently reread to find completely gripping in its immediacy, and of the team of writers and illustrators and ad designers and salespeople who rose heroically to the occasion, despite whatever personal trauma they had experienced (and, during production, re-experienced whenever the building trembled with an aftershock).

Elizabeth wrote the feature, a diarylike account of the days immediately following the quake; Geoffrey Dunn turned in an op-ed piece on the people of Santa Cruz as its resilient heart and soul; Venise Wagner, our bilingual South County correspondent, reported on the damage in Watsonville; Roz Spafford critiqued the media for their ghoulish pursuit of the story of the two workers, Shawn McCormick and Robin Ortiz, killed under the collapsed walls of the Coffee Roasting Company across the street from our offices; Robin (Somers) Schirmer examined the psycho-emotional fallout of the event; I wrote in my column about the hit my home had taken and the strange relief I felt about losing my business; Rob Brezsny, in addition to his usual astrology column, wrote a dreamlike account of a temblor in the collective unconscious; and arts editor Mark Zepezauer reported on the earthquakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural repercussions.

Artists Futzie Nutzle, Tim Eagan, Elizabeth Williams, Karl Vidstrand and Diana Moll and photographers Chip Scheuer, Holger Leue and David Alexander delivered some of their most arresting images. Our art director, Mott Jordan, made a witty adjustment to our banner so that the final N in SUN was knocked off-kilter, and Kevin Jewell and Scott Dunn, our ad and editorial designers, dealt elegantly with the largerthan-usual 36-page issue, which our sales staffâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Diana Mayo, Kathy Edwards, Jeff Howitt, Pablo Reiter and Yvette Cadeauxâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;had made possible against all odds. Traffic coordinator Elisa Pederson coolly managed the hectic flow between the advertising and art departments.

Perhaps most remarkable, our typesetter, Rosemary Balsley, swiftly transcribed the text of the entire issue with scarcely a single typo.

We also had nearly three full pages of letters, some reflecting on the quake,

some responding to stories in recent issues, some lamenting the newsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; already going aroundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that this would be the last our readers would see of The Sun. We ran 21 letters in all, evidence of our key role as, among other things, a community bulletin board.

In my full-page editorial, headlined â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sun Also Rises,â&#x20AC;? I tried to downplay the loss of our newspaper, putting it in perspective next to the greater tragedy of lives lost and the millions of dollars in physical destruction suffered by so many, and by the economy as a whole.

I also optimistically invoked the history of local weeklies that had arisen one after another over the previous 20 years, assuring our readers that sooner or later another paper would take the place of The Sun.

Going, Going, Gone But in trying to contain my own sorrow and disappointment over my failure as a publisher, and to console our readers who had avidly picked us up each week and appreciated our sharply distinctive take on the news and the life of the community, I wrongly compared the loss of The Sun to that of the several cafĂŠs that had been flattened, suggesting that a newspaper, like any other cultural institution or public venue, was an important gathering place but not an irreplaceable one.

The truth is, almost any newspaper, even now, plays a vital role in the life of a community, and the loss of such a publication gravely wounds that communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political, cultural and intellectual health. I had come out of the peaceful Soquel hills into the turmoil of downtown media wars to found The Sun because I felt that Santa Cruz, with its literate citizens and liberal politics and abundant artistic talent, deserved something better to read than was then available. I wanted to evolve from a soloist composing my own improvisations into a conductor who could coordinate the various excellent players I had worked with over the years, and any new ones who might turn up, into a tight journalistic ensemble, an orchestra that could both echo the sometimes cacophonous music of the community and help refine it into a more harmonious sound, setting a tone of rational discourse and creative thinking.

What I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have known at the time was that the end of The Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or more precisely the Loma Prieta earthquake itselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was a watershed ¨

1=D 3 @ AB= @G j B 6 3 A C < / : A = 5 = 3 A 2 =E < moment in local history after which nothing would be the same. The Pacific Garden Mall, an elegantly landscaped meandering one-lane oneway street where pedestrians and trees far outnumbered cars and little locally owned shops dominated the commercial ecology, would not return to its funky, intimate, villagelike form. And when, in time, the dust cleared and the new buildings were up and the street was straightened back into just plain Pacific Avenue, and the Gaps and Borders and Starbucks and multiplex megacinemas moved inâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and meanwhile the hightech gold rush boomed and Santa Cruz real estate became unaffordable for anyone who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive a BMWâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the town would evolve into another stage of maturity.

Spirit of Santa Cruz For better and worse, downtown changed into a distinctively Santa Cruzian but more conventional smalltown urban model. It feels like a much bigger town now, and though one still runs into familiar faces, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to be anonymous, as in a city. Even if The Sun had survived the seismic shakedown, the city it served was so transformed that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether we could have sustained the kind of intimacy we shared with our readers. The civic atmosphere was altered, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no telling what kind of paper we would have become.

There are those old-timers who complain that Santa Cruz isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the way it used to be before the quake. But quake or no quake, nothing is ever the way it used to beâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ask whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left of the retirees who, in the 1960s and 70s, saw their peaceful little town overrun by college students and transplanted professors and blissed-out hippiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of loss people just have to learn to get over. As journalists during a 20-year period of major creative agitation, we certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think our job was to preserve the status quo, even if the status quo, such as it was, seemed pretty cool at the time.

What we were trying to doâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at papers like the Sundaze and the Independent and the Express and The Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was to give back to Santa Cruz the best of itself and be a bonding force for its anarchic spirit, keeping the community on its toes while opening peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds to unimagined possibilities.

Those papers were fun to read, and as an editor (and publisher) I felt it my duty to make our pages indispensable sources of â&#x20AC;&#x153;newsâ&#x20AC;? you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anywhere else.

We caught hell from the left almost as often as from the right because our angle of vision was truly independent. (Our marketing slogan was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Independent. Locally Owned.â&#x20AC;?)

Would-be but never-were advertisers constantly complained that we were too serious, too political, too irreverent, too intellectual, too literary, not businessfriendly enough, too demanding of readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time and attentionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;never mind that some 50,000 people kept our pages open long enough to read them and thus give the ads more exposure than if skimmers were just flipping through to check the show times. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the material ambition to fully realize that a newspaper is more than a public service or vehicle for spirited debate, but is also a commercial enterprise that ultimately lives or dies by how it makes its way in the marketplace.

Though my father had been a successful salesman and eventually CEO of his own company (so presumably I had some entrepreneurial genes), I never did fit that model, and clearly I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fooling anyone, least of all my fellow business owners. I was a writerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;worse, a poetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; with all the defects of those sorry species.

So as I watched from my office window the swarms of tourists and voyeurs observing the ruined buildings being razed by gigantic machines and carted away on the backs of enormous trucks, I had to admit I was lucky to have lived through this cataclysm.

It was exciting to be part of such a historic ordeal and to have something useful to offer as a record of an unforgettable moment: an account in print that, 20 years later, surely at least a few locals still have stored in their private archives.

As I put my house back together over the next months, and closed down the business, and prepared to resume a more purely literary agenda, I felt grateful for the privilege of having ridden out the epic rise and fall of the most ambitious and costly project Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever embarked on, and for the honor of putting out our final issue as a testament to our purpose.

Though we failed commercially, and thus failed in our long-term effort to serve the community as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hoped to, for those three years we reflected and affected the life of our town in all its complex character.

And out of our ruins rose what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reading now.

OST-QUAKE Santa Cruz wasted no time coming up with irreverent slogans about the disaster it had enduredâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; bumper stickers like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shift Happensâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All Our Faultâ&#x20AC;?

To the Island How to run a music festival that works 0G 5/03 ;3:7<3

S

AN FRANCISCOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Treasure Island Music Festival is a festival for people who hate festivals so much that they recoil at reading the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;festivalâ&#x20AC;? so many times in this festively laden festival of a sentence.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to it every year and have consistently been amazed by how other music festivals can suck so bad while Treasure Island, slated for Oct. 17â&#x20AC;&#x201C;18, always rules. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why.

7b¸a A[OZZ Most music festivals have

multiple overlapping stages, which is terrible for die-hard fans whose favorite bands play at the same time.

At Treasure Island, there are only two stages, so a quick walk across a 100-yard stretch is all it takes not to miss a note.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to get close to the front, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where the Hell Am I?â&#x20AC;? iPhone app to find your friends.

0O\Ra @SOZZg 2] 6O\U =cb EWbV 4O\a This is a selling point for a lot of

festivals, but it rarely delivers. In the last two years at Treasure Island, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen Jack White and Spiritualizedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jason Pierce hanging out and talking, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the members of CSS in line for the Ferris wheel, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen Okkervil Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Will Sheff wandering around drinking a beer, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen Spoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Britt Daniel on the side of the stage watching Built to Spill, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen M. Ward waltzing through the crowd. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s without a VIP ticket. Which reminds me.

D7> BWQYSba /`S\¸b E]`bV 7b Yes, this

is an asset, because it means youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not tempted to shuck out the extra money.

Oh, sure, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hell-bent on sitting far away from the stage on bleachers, go right ahead, but most will want to save the extra $60 and be part of the action. ;W\W[OZ 1]`^]`ObS /RdS`bWaW\U The corporate-rock days of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s were utterly depressing, reaching a low point when Elliott Smith went on tour f lanked by Miller Genuine Draft

03/@ 3AA3<B7/:A Grizzly Bear eats a nutritious breakfast each day, because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rock Treasure Island into the sea on an empty stomach.

banners on either side of the stage. That sort of garbage still exists in weird Live Nation pockets of the world, but not at Treasure Island, where corporate logos are limited to Heineken, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sale.

Any moron putting on a festival could do some simple math and calculate a dramatic surge in ticket sales by commingling genres and spreading the lineup over both days. Thankfully, since its inception, Treasure Island has booked electronic and hip-hop acts on Saturday and indie rock bands on Sunday, making it easy for the Justice fan to not have to suffer through Tegan and Sara. <] 2O[\ 1O`a All attendees park for

free at AT&T Park in the city, and the shuttles that run to and from the island are efficient, free and ultra-fancy inside.

BVS 0O\Ra 2]\¸b AcQY Festivals

are often dumping grounds for hasbeens like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but Treasure Island consistently finds relevant bands. This year is a wellcurated mix of rising stars Grizzly Bear, Passion Pit, MGMT, Beirut and

Girl Talk alongside familiar favorites like the Flaming Lips, Yo La Tengo, the Decemberists, DJ Krush and the Walkmen, among many others. Believe it or not, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weakest lineup in its three-year history, which is saying something.

G]c E]\¸b 5Sb 0]`SR Instead of agonizing while Bob Mould lulls nostalgia hounds to sleep, why not hit up the myriad tents full of strange art projects and interactive games? A full-on 1980s video arcade debuted in 2007, and last year, I spent a half-hour winding a piece of yarn around a series of nails with complete strangers.

Now if they could simply supply free tap water and not sell tickets through Ticketmaster, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be the best festival in California.

THE TREASURE ISLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL runs Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sunday, noonâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;11pm, Oct. 17â&#x20AC;&#x201C;18, on Treasure Island, smack-dab in the middle of the San Francisco Bay. $65 per day.

7< 4:756B ;3/:A LUNACY Productionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Les Etrangers: A Feast of Stranger Delights is both bizarre and breathtaking, an airborne cabaret that takes us along for a ride with beautiful aerial acrobatics in an intimate atmosphere. Like a Dr. Seuss acid trip, last Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance at Cypress Lounge whisked the audience away on a journey to a dream world where flamingo trees grow and brides-to-be pole dance to Doris Day. Each of the half-dozen cast members portrays a different version of the strange and wacky. As an acrobatic cat swings about in the air, a woman with a fur hat and a cigar in her mouth picks a fight with a balloon, all to a remix of â&#x20AC;&#x153;People Are Strangeâ&#x20AC;? by the Doors.

There is certainly nothing normal about this performance, which is what makes it so fun. The audience is on its toes watching each and every movement, and not only to make sure the dancers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall on their heads. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough talent and high-class chaos here to match that of a Lady Gaga music video. In sum: insanely entertaining. (Rula al-Nasrawi)

LES ETRANGERS is performed Wednesday, Oct. 14, Friday, Oct. 16, and Sunday, Oct. 18 at 8pm at Cypress Lounge, 120 Union St., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $60 with three-course meal or $20 without, available at www.brownpapertickets.com. (831.459.9876)

At long last, the Burning Man Project and Santa Cruz toss back their feather boas, doff their aluminum hats and shake hands. On Saturday, Oct. 17, UnScruz! hosts the first annual Santa Cruz Burning Man Decompression Party, lining Locust Street with mutant vehicles, performance art and music, all leading to a climax with fire dancing in the street. Finally, Santa Cruzans have the chance to experience the famous festival without disappearing from their lives for a week, though some may wonder if this defeats the point. Dressing the part is not required but is encouraged by $5 off admission. Saturday, Oct. 17, noonâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;10pm. Tickets $15 street clothes/$10 Burnerwear. Locust Street between Cedar and Center streets. :WdS =OY 4O`[S`a ;O`YSb &*i] 6kZ VcY EdgidaV 9g^kZ# Hjc! .Vb"&eb# ;gZZ ZmXZei WgZV`[Vhi #

:==>/>/:==H/ ANYONE who thinks Santa Cruz isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of the most cuttingedge fringe music towns in the world has obviously never been to the International Live Looping Festival. Like a geeky science fair shacked up with an underground indie fest, the one-of-a-kind event attracts the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best names in sound loopingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an art form that uses software and sequencers with live instruments to create complex and textured music on the fly.

Local session drummer and known sonic terrorist Rick Walker has, for nine years running, organized the festival, which hits Pearl Alley Studios and Metamusic in downtown Santa Cruz Oct. 15â&#x20AC;&#x201C;18. He explains how clone-liness is next to godliness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Live looping allows any musician to clone themselves onstage and create a full band sound,â&#x20AC;? says the flamboyant and exclusively nocturnal Walker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything from West African dance music to rock to classical, psychedelia and hip-hop have used loops.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different about this movement is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all done live.â&#x20AC;?

About 50 artists will perform at the weekend festival, including the rhythm section of the legendary Parliament Funkadelic, Jim Thomas of surf rock icons the Mermen and German electronica cult hero Michael Peters. A bevy of technological wonders will also be on display including custom looping gadgets and software as well as Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wii-remote-turned-stage-light-projector, and the music will be nearly uninterrupted with artist performances stacked back-to-back all weekend. (Curtis Cartier) THE Y2K9 INTERNATIONAL LIVE LOOPING FESTIVAL hits repeat, beginning with a local artist show on Thursday, Oct. 15, at 7:30pm at Metamusic Records, 320 Center St., Santa Cruz. The main festival runs Oct. 16â&#x20AC;&#x201C;18 at Pearl Alley Studios, 120 Pearl Alley. Shows are $10 at the door and show times vary. See www.y2kloopfest.com/ for more info.

(1976) This last part of director Alan J. Pakulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible Paranoia Trilogy from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s combines everything he learned making the first two: it nails both the character-driven, intimate feel of Klute and the shadowy bigpicture politics of The Parallax View. It was also his biggest hit, and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting now is that unlike most rippedfrom-the-headlines tales, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the least

bit dated three decades later. Its Watergate plotline has Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman as Woodward and Bernstein, cracking the case little by little thanks to dogged persistence and an assist from Deep Throat, but now it seems less like a film about Nixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conspiracy and more like a timely-as-ever warning about the importance of always questioning the official story.

(R; 150 min.) Idealism done gone wrong again.

A look at the rise of the Red Army Faction, an anti-American, antiNazi terrorist group led Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin that gained notoriety in Germany in the late 1960s and 1970s for kidnappings and bombings. (Opens Fri at the Nick.) / 1:=19E=@9 =@/<53 (1971) You

brutal, vicious, beautiful, compassionate, lyrical, funny, sad, cynical and hopeful all at once.

Certainly, in the way it combines literate science-fiction with pitiless social satire and dumps the combination into your basic story of a working-class punk who may or may not be beyond redemption after he takes up the thug life, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never see a film like this again.

(PG-13; 101 min.) Remake of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s cult-horror favorite will have to work hard to be accepted by fans who loved the originalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loopy story of the ideal Reagan â&#x20AC;&#x153;family valuesâ&#x20AC;? man gone wrongâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the only perfect family he could imagine was a dead one. This version appears to take a more Fatal Attractionâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; type thriller angle, with the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publicity asking â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is he really the man of her dreamsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or could David be hiding a dark side?â&#x20AC;?

min.) There are some great kisses in it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an unusually flowery film from this thorny director Jane Campion, suggesting the troubled relationship of Fanny Brawne (Abby Cornish) and the poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw) as an idyll of hyacinths and daffodils, birdsong and butterflies surrounded by slums. Circa 1820, Keats is loved by Fanny, an independent-minded girl who made some money through sewing and design. Acting as a brake on this romance: Charles Armitage Brown, Keatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; friend, fellow poet and self-appointed watchdog.

Paul Schneiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salty and scene-stealing performance as this ironist matches Keatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;Character of Charles Brown.â&#x20AC;? The sad fact is that poetry read onscreen seems flat, and the better the poetry is, the flatter it sounds.

Campionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach is far more interesting than the customary Merchant-Ivory or Jane Austenâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;industry adaptation. Bright Star has blood and sweetness in it, but the limpid, flowerchildish nature of this vision may make some viewers sneeze from the pollen. (RvB) 1/>7B/:7A;( / :=D3 AB=@G (R; 128 min.)

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 20 years since Michael Moore made Roger & Me, about the layoffs that devastated Flint, Mich. The only thing that has changed today is that Flint is worse, and its woes have spread throughout the United States. Moore makes a nationwide tour of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wreckage. He follows the collapse of the real estate market and sits with the victims of a family farm eviction in upstate New York. When Moore is at his best, it is not as defense lawyer but prosecutor. And whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been worthwhile since 1989 is his tendency to sass back to corporate spokesmen instead of taking their statements at face value. (RvB)

min.) Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a greeting-card writer, has his heart broken by a girl he knew for about two years. She was called Summer (Zooey Deschanel). As Tom recalls this tale in random-accessed moments, we begin to see the bigger picture.

(500) Days of Summer is allegedly an antiromantic film, but the result is yet another alterna-date movieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a little brighter, a little more referential, than usual. The scenes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on so long that they wear out their welcome. And yet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so full of negative spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;places where jokes could have been planted, places where the characters could have been deepened. If only director Marc Webb had spent as much time thinking how to fill in the blanks as he spent murmuring, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be Annie Hall for our generation.â&#x20AC;?

160 min.) Quentin Tarantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holocaust film is the shouldhave-been true story of Operation Kino, the plot to destroy Hitlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gang through their own love for cinema. The Basterds themselves are a band of homicidal Jewish guerrillas indebted to their leader, Brad Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aldo Raine, for 100 Nazi scalps. Yet this is a genuine art movie. Here in cinema form is an essay about Tarantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascination with and distate for the war film.

Childsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; distinctive voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the whoop of surprise, the trill and warble when she talkedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;makes Streepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the film enthralling. Half of this film is based on the hustled-into-print book version of a blog by Julie Powell about replicating all of Childsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recipes. Amy Adams plays Julie, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a horror. (RvB) ' (PG-13; 99 min.) The

by Elijah Wood, is a doll-size creature with a zipper front and camera lenses for eyes.

As he awakes, the Age of Man has just come to a noisy end. The only living creatures are these mysterious living dolls and their hunters: killer androids made of bones and servos. The creature 9 encounters some of his fellow creatures: 2, a wise old man; then comes the ninja girl 7 (voiced by Jennifer Connelly), a warrior with a seagull skull for a helmet. Most important somehow is a ponderous, self-important bishop (Christopher Plummer).

The crew make their way through one hazard after another in this film designed for younger viewers. (RvB) >/@/<=@;/: /1B7D7BG (R; 99

min.) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;the next Blair Witch Project,â&#x20AC;? but hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing about Paranormal Activity: people were actually scared. They screamed. They were freaked out. A young couple, played by Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat, believes something unusual and disturbing is going on in their house.

Micah buys a hand-held camera to try to capture it on film, recording day

and night, which leads to a lot of genuinely creepy footage. It is certainly the scariest movie anyone will see this year. (SP) B63 A3>B3;03@ 7AAC3 (PG-13; 90 min.)

Documentary about Anna Wintour preparing the fall fashion issue of Vogue. Just in case you thought Meryl Streep was kidding in The Devil Wears Prada. (SP) AC@@=5/B3A (PG-13; 89 min.) In the near future, all human beings will be pale shut-ins, experiencing life through cybersimilacra. Late one night, the son of the man who made this technical breakthrough possible is murdered, fried by electrical surge after his avatar is killed by a strange new weapon.

Investigating the crime is an FBI agent (Bruce Willis) and his partner (Radha Mitchell).

They believe the crime is linked to a large reservation of Luddites, led by a charismatic leader called the Prophet (Ving Rhames). Based on a graphic novel. (RvB) B67@AB (R; 133 min.)

Korean director Chanwook Park has been on a roll all the way through his Vengeance trilogyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy and Lady Vengeance. The

man is a visual genius, an expert craftsman and a fascinating storyteller, and his movies are unique works of art shaped from the same core issues of power, revenge and the struggle of every human being not to fail miserably.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be interesting to see how he applies them to this story of a priest turned into a vampire by a botched medical experiment. (SP) B=G AB=@G ! 2 (G; 81/92 min.) Not actually a sequel to the Toy Story films (one is coming in 2010), but a rerelease of the first two, packaged as a double-feature and shown in 3-D. (SP) E67> 7B (PG-13; 111 min.) Drew Barrymoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when-girls-collide roller derby movie is bliss; actually, Ellen Page plays Bliss, a Bodeen, Texas, tomboy who takes the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Babe Ruthless.â&#x20AC;?

Director and bon vivant Drew Barrymore (who plays a rolling calamity of a teammate) has rescued Page from the career-killing move of repeatedly playing the smartest person in the room. The acting is superior on down the line. As the parents, Marcia Gay Harden and Daniel Stern have a fond rapport, and in a

noteworthy comeback role Juliette Lewis smolders away as the well-motivated villain on a rival team. Scriptwriter Shauna Crossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wit lets Page hold the screen like never before. (RvB) H=;073:/<2 (R; 88 min.) Under a plague of the living dead, the United States is in ruins, and the nervous collegeage hero (Jesse Eisenberg) calls the dreadful landscape Zombieland.

He joins three reluctant companions: a Twinkiesloving cowboy called Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a fast female loner named Wichita (Emma Stone) and her little sis, Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). They head to a place where they think the light at the end of the tunnel still shines: Disneyland, renamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pacific Playland.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s merit to the idea of a turkeyshoot zombie-killing finale amid colored lights and spinning rides, but the film doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get more imaginative than anything seen in the previews. Under Ruben Fleischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bare-bones direction, Zombieland is slathered with narration.

Harrelson is a fiercelooking party, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get Westernlyrical enough. (RvB)

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of October 14 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): You say you not only want to be loved, but that you also want to love?

Then learn the fantasies and symbols and beliefs that hold peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives together. Be interested in feeling the crushing weight and deep comfort of their web of memories. Every now and then, dive in and swim along in their stream of consciousness. And yes, be willing to accompany them when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re writhing in their personal hells as well as when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exploring the suburbs of paradise. All these tasks will be exceptionally worthy of your time in the coming weeks, Aries.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): Right now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like a sulking cherry tree that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bloomed for years but then inexplicably erupts with pink f lowers in midautumn. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like a child prodigy who lost her mojo for a while and then suddenly recovers it when her old mentor comes back into her life after a long absence. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like a dormant volcano that without any warning spurts out a round of seemingly prophetic smoke signals on the eve of a great victory for the whole world.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Rob: Thanks for being a continued source of careful thinking!

With the help of you and the rather ruthless teachers who are my friends and loved ones, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m learning the lessons that are most important for me to learnâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like how rigorous I have to be in figuring out my intentions, how impeccable I have to be with formulating my desires, and how precise I have to be in expressing myself. Sometimes I wish I could just go back to being an aimless street punk in Berkeley.

But in the end I prefer this tough path Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve chosen.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Hard-Working Gemini Dear Hard-Working: This is an excellent phase in the Gemini life cycle to concentrate on what you named: rigorously figuring out your intentions, impeccably formulating your desires, and expressing yourself precisely.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): The British playwright Colley Cibber, who was born 55 years after Shakespeare died, thought that the Bardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical drama Richard III needed improvement. He made extensive revisions, transposing scenes and inserting new material. For 150 years, Cibberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version was widely performed, effectively replacing Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rendition. I suggest you borrow Cibberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy for your own in the coming weeks. Take something you like and personalize it; make it into your own. Be sure to acknowledge the original, of course. But have fun blending your inf luence with the prototype as you create a useful and amusing hybrid. :3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): The corny but sometimes useful adages of folk wisdom are still being created afresh in the 21st century. Their breeding ground is no longer the tavern or marketplace, as in centuries past, but rather the Internet. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve plucked one of these funky gems out of the ethers for you to contemplate: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ark was built by amateurs, while the Titanic was built by professionals.â&#x20AC;? How exactly does this apply to you? According to my reading of the astrological omens, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a phase when a good imagination will count for more than strict logic; when innocent enthusiasm will take you further than know-it-all expertise; and when all the work you do should have a playful spirit fueled by a beginnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): To extract enough gold to make a wedding ring, a mining company must process a ton of ore. In a similar way, many writers generate a swamp of unusable sentences on their way to distilling the precise message they really want to deliver. Please keep these examples in mind as you evaluate your own recent progress, Virgo. It may seem like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving at a crawl and producing little of worth. But according to my analysis of the omens, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on your way to producing the equivalent of a gold ring. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): Were you ever a tiger in one of your past lives? If so, this would be an excellent time to tap into that power. If you have never lived the life of a tiger, would you be willing to imagine that you did? During the coming weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges, you will really benefit from being able to call on the specific kind of intelligence a tiger possesses, as well as its speed, perceptivity, sense of smell, charisma and beauty. Your homework is to

spend 10 minutes envisioning yourself inhabiting the body of a tiger.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): Your circumstances arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as dire as you feared, Scorpio. The freaky monster in the closet is bored with spooking you and will soon be departing the premises. Meanwhile, one of your other tormentors is about to experience some personal sadness that will soften his or her heart toward you. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more: The paralysis that has been infecting your funny bone will miraculously cure itself, and the scheduled revelation of the rest of your dirty secrets will be summarily canceled. I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not feeling so sorry for yourself that you fail to notice this sudden turn in your luck. It may take an act of will for you to wake up to the new dispensations that are available.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jazz music is an intensified feeling of nonchalance,â&#x20AC;? said playwright Francoise Sagan. Keep that in mind during the coming week, Sagittarius. Whether or not you actually play or listen to jazz, do whateverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary to cultivate intensified feelings of nonchalance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely urgent for you to be blithe and casual.

You desperately need to practice nonattachment as you develop your ability to not care so much about things you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be ferociously disciplined as you transcend the worries and irritations that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter much in the big scheme of things.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are two rules for ultimate success in life,â&#x20AC;? wrote L.M. Boyd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First, never tell everything you know.â&#x20AC;? While that may be the conventional wisdom about how to build up oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal power, I prefer to live by a different principle. Personally, I find that as I divulge everything I know, I keep knowing more and more that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available to me before. The act of sharing connects me to fresh sources. Open-hearted communication doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t weaken me, but just the reverse: It feeds my vitality. This is the approach I recommend to you in the coming days, Capricorn. Do indeed tell everything you know.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Writing in The New Yorker, Adam Gopnik named two characters from literature that well-educated people tend to identify with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Men choose Hamlet because every man sees himself as a disinherited monarch,â&#x20AC;? he said, while â&#x20AC;&#x153;women choose Alice [in Wonderland] because every woman sees herself as the only reasonable creature among crazy people who think that they are disinherited monarchs.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a funny thought in light of your current omens, Aquarius, which suggest that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a reasonable creature who clearly sees how much youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like a disinherited monarch.

The omens go on to say that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance you will have excellent intuition about what to do in order to at least partially restore yourself to power. >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Rob: Help! I have a sinking feeling that the man I love and want to be with for the rest of my life is almost but not quite courageous enough to be truly and deeply intimate with me. What should I do?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Downcast Piscean Dear Downcast: Ask yourself if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything you can change about yourself that will help him feel braver. For instance, is there any way, however small, in which youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re manipulative, untrustworthy, dishonest or unkind? If so, fixing that in yourself could allow your lover to feel a lot closer. By the way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent time, astrologically speaking, for all Pisceans to alter their inner states in order to alter the world around them.
