Cage Match A celebration of John Cage (“Fall Arts,â€? Aug. 29) here in Santa Cruz, 2012 ‌ R.F. Ferrell met Mr. Cage (I called him John) at Reed College in 1969 when he was visiting Professor of Magic.

Medical Memories Seeing “Tess is More� on your recent Wednesday cover (Aug. 8) brought many medical memories to mind. How many years ago did our doctors stop making house calls? Fifty years or 60? I can remember during childhood illnesses our mother asking us to stick out our tongue.

Another test Mama did was placing her hand upon my forehead to see if it was warm. If heated, in went the thermometer. Fortunately for us we only owned an oral one! Nails were another barometer of good health. Pink meant well, pale meant sickly, according to our paternal grandmother. My maternal grandparents had a very popular cure-all called a “panacea� for most of our childhood illnesses. It was a stop at the local ice-cream store. They brought our cough-racked bodies, often pimple-marred from measles to poison ivy, an ice-cream combination: orange sherbet and chocolate ice cream in large containers, as we were a family of five children. When one got sick, it spread; united in expressions similar to Ms. Dunn’s and holding our tummys in both pain and anticipation, NaNa dished out the ice cream, while Grandpa looking benignly on. Headaches are also an unpleasant memory.

As I can see Tess’ brows knitted almost together with her eyes closed appearing to have a whopper of one. Cavities grew as we patiently awaited our medical to once again cover our dental and optometrist needs. Oh, sure! They cover you if you want a tooth extracted, forsaking a more expensive root canal. So [Georgia Perry’s] editorial regarding “Elder Abuse� being widespread in your current tabloid is much verdad aqui. Her closing argument of “We all become vulnerable at some time in our lives. Guardianship abuse is elder abuse,� should read: “We all become valuable at some time in our lives. Our Guardian Angels protect us from elder abuse.� Good health to all. Kathleene Singer Watsonville

Tired Stereotype [RE: “A Fine Fall Frenzy,� Aug. 29] I was disheartened when I read the section featuring an upcoming show at Cabrillo Gallery called “Art: A Bridge Beyond Borders/El arte es un puente sin fronteras,� a mixed media show featuring artists from Mexico and California. I quote the authors’ reason for encouraging readers to attend the exhibit: “Sometimes, just enjoying a burrito is not enough.� Ouch. Would you ever consider informing the community about an African-American artistic exhibit by pointing out that eating fried chicken and watermelon is “sometimes� not “enough� to get a true sense of Black culture? How about encouraging people to attend an Indian cultural event by telling Santa Cruzans to put down the curry? Whether this was an attempt at humor or an accurate reflection of the deep ignorance of the four writers who put their names on this piece is irrelevant. It is disappointing you chose to demean the artists and the intention of the exhibit by pulling out a tired stereotype. I plan to attend the exhibit in the next few weeks, and I wanted to thank you and let you know that this insult was not unseen by others in the Santa Cruz community. J.M. Holiday

Currents YES, WE HAVE NO GMO BANANAS Santa Cruz food activist Mary Graydon-Fontana is part of the opposition to Prop 37.

Food Fight GMO advocates say tomato, Prop. 37 supporters say nope BY JACOB PIERCE

I

T LOOKS like a tomato. It’s red and round and a little sweet, with a bitter, savory aftertaste. Underneath its thin skin is fish DNA to prevent it from freezing prior to harvest. Is it a tomato? Mary Graydon-Fontana wouldn’t say so. “I don’t think that’s a tomato,� she says. “That’s a different species that they’re taking it from.� Graydon-Fontana, a retired thirdgrade teacher and food activist, thinks all genetically engineered foods, like the aforementioned “fish tomato,� should come with labels or signs that identify them as genetically modified organisms—or GMOs—because she doesn’t think they’re safe to eat. That sentiment is at the heart of Prop 37, often referred to as the “GMO-labeling measure,� which will appear on November 6 ballots and would require food companies

to feature a label that reads “Partially Produced with Genetic Engineering.� More than 40 countries, including Japan and all the European Union members, have mandated labeling on GMOs, even though they have never been conclusively linked to any health problems. “I’m very, very careful about the food that I buy and we’re lucky here,� Graydon-Fontana says of the organic food community in Santa Cruz. “You can be pretty sure, but you can’t be totally sure unless they’re labeled.� The most common genetically modified crops are corn, soy, canola and sugar beets. Eighty-five percent of corn grown in the United States is genetically modified, as is 90 percent of all US-grown soy. Many of these crops are ingredients in processed foods not necessarily found on the produce aisle.

Food companies have poured big money into defeating the measure— over $25 million, compared with $3 million for the “Yes� campaign. Monsanto, which is based in Missouri and produces GMO seeds, has donated $4.2 million to defeat the measure. Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Nestle have each donated over $1 million. The “Yes� campaign’s biggest donor so far is Mercola.com Health Resources, which is based in Illinois, with a $800,000 contribution. The Organic Consumer Fund, based in Minnesota, has donated a halfmillion dollars.

‘Natural’ Concerns Opponents like Paul Betancourt say the measure is clouded with provisions for special interests, protecting meat, dairy, and alcohol—none of which would have to be labeled under Measure 37.

“Take the wheat I grow this year,â€? says Betancourt, who owns a farm in Fresno, where he grows almonds, as well as GMO crops like cotton and corn. “If I feed it to dairy cows or beef cows, it’s exempt. If I turn it into vodka, it’s exempt. But if I bake a loaf of bread, I have to label the loaf of bread. That doesn’t make sense‌ If this is really based on a right to know, then it ought to label all those involved.â€? Kathy Fairbanks, spokesperson for No on 37, has raised concerns about the wording of the initiative that defines “naturalâ€? and prohibits GMOs from being labeled as such. Fairbanks and other have speculated that, regardless of the measure’s intent, the wording of the measure might prevent other processed foods from being labeled “natural.â€? Betancourt too worries the almond paste made from his non-genetically modified almonds would not fall into the “naturalâ€? category. According to the Legislative Analyst’s Office, under the measure, plantiffs don’t need to prove they were harmed in order to sue. Fairbanks says that if Prop 37 passes, it could result in a flurry of lawsuits. “We think it’s misleading to California consumers and will allow more lawsuits and higher costs in grocery bills,â€? Fairbanks says. While California never tried to pass a bill in the legislature, several other states have tried to pass bills mandating labeling on GMOs—most recently Connecticut and Vermont— and they have all come up short. Wittman says the stakes are high and California Right to Know may never be able to mount this much volunteer support—or money—ever again. For Thomas Wittman, who is working with Graydon-Fontana on the California Right to Know Campaign, the stakes couldn’t be much higher. He says the GMO food market threatens organic foods with contamination from cross-pollination. “This is really the fight of our life for our food,â€? Whitman says. “We’ll never get this opportunity again.â€? 0

Election season is here, and Santa Cruz city council candidates are planning their campaign kick-off parties, most of which are happening this week. Rumor has it CeCe Pinheiro is still looking for speakers. The community television executive was spotted literally chasing down a passerby outside the Weekly offices, hoping to score a commitment to speak at her event, Friday, Sept. 7 at 5pm at the Galleria Building, 740 Front St. The unidentified male apologetically told Pinheiro he had to watch his kids that day. For his part, Mayor Don Lane has locked down former Mayor Mike Rotkin, who will be performing live music (!) at Lane’s event, Thursday Sept. 6 at 5pm at the Darling House, 314 West Cliff. Set list is under wraps, but we’re sure the UCSC Marxist Theory lecturer won’t disappoint. “Back in the U.S.S.R.,� anyone? Food wise, India Joze will have his hands full by catering both Micah Posner’s party, Sunday, Sept. 9 at 2pm at the Resource Center for Non-Violence, 612 Ocean St., and Steve Pleich’s laid-back affair, “probably the last weekend in September� at India Joze, 418 Front St. Richelle Noroyan’s going Hawaiian for her event, to be held Monday, Sept. 10 at 5:30 at Pono Hawaiian Grill, 120 Union St. Twenty eight-year-old surfer Jake Fusari is encouraging younger, politicallycurious demographics especially at his event Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 6pm at Louie’s Cajun Kitchen, 110 Church St. “I want to invite anybody,� Fusari told the Weekly over the phone. But this isn’t a house party, kiddos: “I’m going to try to keep it pretty for—not formal, but professional,� he added. Pamela Comstock’s event was Tuesday, Sept. 4. It promised “Team Pam� “swag,� which we hope means we’ll soon be seeing rhinestone-studded yard signs popping up around town. (Swag swag.) With an outdoor party at Abbott Square, Cooper and Front Streets, on Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 4:30pm, Cynthia Mathews will be accepting donations both in the form of checks and pennies tossed into the fountain with wishes for her success.

Kennedy wished someone would have talked to him about it. “There wasn’t any formal or informal communication,� Kennedy, director of Greenways to School, says. “It was only after the fact that we found out.� Until about six months ago, Santa Cruz Police took bikes that were deemed abandoned or stolen and gave them to organizations like the Bike Church, Greenways to School and Barrios Unidos, who in turn gave them to kids in need of new rides. In exchange, kids often did volunteer work. After a few months with no bikes forthcoming, Steve Schnaar, a Bike Church member, started making public records requests and asking around. He found that police had decided to instead entrust The Bike Dojo, a downtown business, with the distributions—partly a cost-saving measure according to the police department. In an email, police chief Rick Martinez told Schnaar it took the nonprofits too long to prepare for bike deliveries. “Storage of bicycles, staff time for delivery, along with the cost of delivering and disposing of metal has been a significant drain on city’s limited resources,� Martinez wrote to Schnaar in June. As part of the new distributions, Martinez said the Bike Dojo works to register and license the bikes—something he accused the Bike Church of not doing enough. His email to Schnaar, which was obtained by the Weekly, even accused the Bike Church of “supporting bike thieves� because so many bikes ended up unregistered and back in police hands. Schnaar says the Bike Church didn’t have any agreement with the city to keep track of that information. “We used to provide serial numbers, and they stopped asking us for it,� Schnaar says. “We could have started providing it again.� Martinez is on vacation and could not be reached for comment. Emails show too that Santa Cruz vice mayor Hilary Bryant had vouched for the Bike Dojo as a valuable community business, a point she confirmed with the Weekly. It’s worth noting because Hillary Bryant’s husband Dave Shuman’s business Cruzin Pedicabs partners with the cycling gym. Shuman’s pedicabs are parked in the Dojo garage, and Cruzin recommends the Dojo for safety checks. Bryant says her role in the change was “limited.� “Nobody’s profiting from this,� Bryant says of the city’s new partnership. “[The nonprofits] want to get bikes in the hands of children, which is the same thing Project B.I.K.E. wants to do.� 0

Wellne STICKING POINT Tonya Fleck-DĂ­Andrea of Santa Cruz Naturopathic Medical Center prepares a B12 shot.

Happy Hour Gets a Boost B12 shots could be the Red Bull alternative BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

S

EVERAL WEEKS AGO, an adventurous friend of mine told me about a local medical center’s “B12 Happy Hour� shots. No, not the kind thrown down the gullet and finished with lime, she clarified, the kind that is injected: 1,500 watersoluble migrograms of the coveted B vitamin delivered directly to the tender tissue of the rump—$17 between 3 and 6 in the afternoon

every Wednesday. Not knowing that B12 supplements, the most effective treatment for seriously anemic and B12-deficient people, are being injected into healthy, fit rumps across the country, I pictured a dingy clinic, full of rusty needles and questionable “B12� concoctions administered by shaky hands. Could feeling “amazing,� with “a

natural (not jittery) boost in energy,� improved moods and the rosy cheeks my friend attributed to a “vitamin f lush� be worth the risk of the unknown? Awaiting the syringe in a sundappled waiting room last Wednesday, a resounding “yes� washed over me. The B12 Happy Hour at the Santa Cruz Naturopathic Medical Center on Chesnut Street is a steady stream of perfumed professionals and welldressed 30- and 40-somethings, pausing to sip anti-stress Rose tea, eye the bowls of organic cherry tomatoes, get injected and continue on their way. The elementary school teacher to my left was a B12-shot veteran, having started the routine after a colleague tipped her off. “She was the only teacher last year who didn’t get sick, so I asked her how she did it, and she told me about these shots,� said the woman.

The human body needs B12 to create energy, and according to many doctors, it’s one of the harder-toabsorb vitamins by diet or capsule form. Injected, the vitamins bypass the gastrointestinal system and get absorbed immediately into the blood stream. “They’re water-soluble nutrients so there’s no toxicity associated with them,� said Tonya Fleck-D’Andrea, naturopathic doctor and founder and director of the SCNMC. A strengthened immune system and increased energy are two of many benefits attributed to the shots, and Fleck-D’Andrea says they are also known to effectively treat everything from anemia and depression to anxiety, obesity, nerve pain, dementia and even acne. How? B12 contributes to the health and function of the adrenal glands and helps stabilize blood sugar. “Our adrenals are our stress glands, those little glands that sit on top of our kidneys, and they help us respond to stress. What most people notice is better sleep, a deeper sleep and more energy ... sometimes you can get a real ‘woo hoo,’ and other times it’s much more subtle,� said Fleck-D’Andrea. The majority of clients coming in for B12 shots aren’t really changing anything else in their routines but do end up noticing a big difference in how they feel, according to FleckD’Andrea. N.D. “What’s so great is that people who come in just for happy hour, they’re not changing anything else in their lives, often times they’re just coming in for the B12 shots, so the shifts that they’re reporting, they’ll say, ‘Since the B12 shots, I feel so much better,’� said Fleck-D’Andrea, who recommends patients come once a week for four weeks in a row in order to restore health in the adrenals. Walking through Trader Joe’s shortly after, I did feel a bit of a “woo hoo!� And, placebo effect or not, it may be enough to tempt me back next week.

My SowCalled Life

California is losing farmers and farmland at an alarming rate, threatening the supply of local and organic crops even as demand for them increases. But a new generation of young farmers in Santa Cruz County is taking on a risky business to reclaim their home soil BY GARRETT MCAULIFFE

S

arah Wood has been traveling the country for the past two years, volunteering at urban homesteads and organic farms in exchange for fresh food and a place to stay. Along the way, the 24-year-old has gathered knowledge and skills she hopes will one day translate to having a farm of her own.

This year, she’s joined the family at Green Oaks Creek, a 63-acre organic spread not too far north of Santa

Cruz, up Highway 1. She plans to work through the end of the growing season. “I’ve been feeling the need to live a certain way,� Wood says, as she chops up beets and greens for lunch after a morning of harvesting carrots and cauliflower. “It’s true of many folks I meet. You have this big boom of people looking for origin, tradition, roots, connection to the earth and to food. It’s as though there’s nostalgia for a life we’ve never experienced. We’re going out to see if that’s possible.� Wood is one is one of a new breed of

young farmers, many of whom grew up in cities and suburbs with little or no experience working the land. Stephanie Jennings and her husband, Paul Pfluke, who own and run Green Oaks Creek Farm, had the benefit of an inheritance to get them started. For others who want to make a life of it, finding a path from working on a farm to having one’s own operation can be incredibly daunting. But with nearly half of all American farmers likely to retire in the next 10 to 20 years, according to the Center

for Rural Affairs, cultivating a new generation of food producers seems more critical than ever.

Generation Gap The organization Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms, or WWOOF, has been expanding to countries around the world since the 1970s. Sarah Potenza and a group of friends she met while apprenticing at the UC Santa Cruz Farm & Garden launched the American version in 2001, first in California, before quickly

expanding to the rest of the country. “There’s a big disconnect in the last few decades,� says Potenza, the current director of WWOOF-USA. “The older generation has not been passing land and knowledge on to the younger generation.� Considering the rapid decline of the nation’s farms and farmland over the past century, these are legitimate concerns. California alone lost 2,500 farms and 6.2 million acres of farmland in the last 20 years. “If a farmer wants to cash out, they

are generally going to make a lot more money selling to a developer,� says Eric Winders, a regional coordinator for California FarmLink. “We need more farmers, and we need them pretty desperately if we want to maintain our strong local food system.� The independent family farmers that long dominated American agriculture have become an increasing rarity over the past half century. Unlike many areas of the country, smaller farms can still be profitable here, and agricultural zoning protects farmland

in Santa Cruz County to an extent. Nonetheless, pressures to develop land are a constant and could lead to more than just the loss of a way of life. More and more of our food production is outsourced to countries like China, Mexico and Chile due to a pressing consumer demand for cheaper food, regardless of quality or safety. If we continue to lose farmland, that reliance on imported food will only increase. “Do we really want to see more frozen strawberries from China?� asks Bill

Ringe, president of the educational non-profit Agri-Culture. Still, Ringe, who is also a licensed realtor, thinks that the value of farmland could eventually surpass that of developed land, and that the new wave of young farmers can overcome the bleak outlook for transitioning farmland. Potenza believes the growing enthusiasm for organic and smallscale farming will help them do so. The number of WWOOFers in the U.S., who pay a $30 annual fee to access a

network of organic, host farms, has skyrocketed in the last four years, from 3,000 members to more than 20,000 today. “Many farmers are natural teachers. Our organization provides a good first step to learning sustainable agriculture,� she says. The average size for a farm in Santa Cruz County is 47 acres, a mere one-tenth of the national average. For WWOOFers, that means a plethora of smaller farms to choose from. But learning to farm is a far cry from starting a farming business. Buying land is extraordinarily risky for young farmers, especially for those with no financial parachute in case the business goes under.

Field of Dreams David Evershed, Sky DeMuro and Zoe Hitchner are well aware of the challenges. On a recent weekday afternoon, the three friends are walking the squash line of the Everett Family Farm in Soquel, where they lease seven acres. “This is the first time we’ve been in charge,� says DeMuro, a down-toearth 34-year-old who apprenticed for two years at Pie Ranch, which sits on the San Mateo coastline next to Green Oaks Creek Farm. “It can drive you nuts—the amount of hours we work for the money we make. We’re still trying to figure out how this could work in the future when we have families and bad backs.� Twelve- to 15-hour days are common during the summer growing season. “Leasing this land’s not preparing us financially,� DeMuro says, “but we’re honing our farming skills. There’s really no way to make money while learning.� Like Potenza and the other founders of WWOOF-USA, the three met at UCSC while taking part in the six-month apprenticeship program in ecological horticulture. After dedicating years to learning the trade, they have finally begun looking for land to settle and work together as a partnership. Starting a successful farm requires a vast array of skills from growing food and driving tractors to running a small business. On the Central Coast, where the cost of land can be astronomical, pooling resources

is a great option for many. “There’s no way any of us could do it alone,� DeMuro says. “A partnership really makes sense around here.� Rich Everett, who owns the property that David, Sky and Zoe lease, has been inviting young farmers to manage part of his farm for the past 10 years. The unique arrangement provides novice farmers with ready-made avenues for selling produce—to restaurants, grocery stores and farmers’ markets—under the Everett Family Farm name. Establishing such a reliable customer base can be one of the most difficult tasks for beginning farmers, especially in this area. “I think it’s safe to say this is the most competitive local food market in the country,� says Darryl Wong, who has co-owned Freewheelin’ Farm with Kirstin Yogg and Amy Courtney for the past six years. With strong local awareness around issues of food and farming, Wong believes the organic market will continue to grow. But he says traditional channels, like farmers’ markets and CSAs—a weekly share of seasonal produce often sent directly to customers—have become saturated. “We have such wellestablished, high quality organic farms here. It’s tough if you’re new on the scene.� Everett agrees. “We’ve been around for more than 10 years, and we still can’t get into some of the farmers’ markets we’d like to.� He believes it may be financially easier to get a toehold in other areas of the country, but nowhere is it simple. “Farming is not for the faint of heart,� he says. “You have to have that love for it or else you’re going to burn out.� “Here you really have to get creative,� DeMuro says. She’s seen friends on the East Coast who were among the first organic farmers in their communities. “They have much more freedom to grow what they want.� DeMuro and her partners plan to stay one more year at the Everett farm, while continuing their quest for a viable chunk of land. “We see more year-to-year leases and single-acre plots. It’s really hard to find anything the right size with housing available.� They are hoping a combination of loans, borrowing from friends and

13 represent one of the single largest transfers of real estate and related wealth in history. “A generation has been skipped,� says Lindsey Lusher Shute, director of the National Young Farmers’ Coalition. Shute and her husband leased land from a retiring dairy farmer in the Hudson Valley of New York years ago. “He had four children, but had made it a priority telling them not to farm. He was shocked that we wanted to,� she says with a laugh. Retiring farmers are often unable to ensure their land will remain in cultivation, as high property values make purchasing farmland beyond the reach of most beginning farmers, yet easily obtainable for corporate developers. “To have so many farmers ready to sell land at the same time, it’s a real deciding point in our nation’s history,� Shute says. “Who’s going to own that land? Who will have access to it? Will it be speculators, corporate farms or young farmers? We need enough young people to take over and policy that allows them to succeed.�

Lost in Transition The majority of the nation’s 2.1 million farmers don’t have transition plans to pass their land and business on to the next generation, according to a number of regional surveys. But in coming decades this could

At Green Oaks Creek, Sarah Wood speaks of farming with a similar reverence. The wellsupported, vibrant young-farmer movement established here has eased concerns on the Central Coast. Few involved in agriculture, whether advocates or farmers themselves, are willing to predict what the aging farmer population might mean in the coming years. For now, DeMuro and her partners are determined to make it work. “It’s like a community service, keeping a farm alive,� she says, as she stoops and dives into the row for another sunburst squash. “That drives me.� 0

HE LATEST “garage rock� movement—led by Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees and the Fresh and Onlys—is proving to be the most diverse, least-retro-sounding group of bands to have the term slapped on them in the last 30 years. The Fresh and Onlys have perhaps strayed the furthest from the garage-rock sound with the release of their fourth album, Long Slow Dance. Their early albums were characterized by a blend of lo-fi, fuzzy recordings, psychedelic instrumentation and pop-sensibilities. The new album is pop-oriented, but the production value has a textured 1980s quality, with a sound reminiscent of the college radio bands from that era— R.E.M., the Smiths and the Church. “In the past, we were always just doing whatever we had to get the songs completed. We couldn’t afford to use better microphones. We couldn’t afford to take our time making a record. With this record, we were definitely far more nuanced trying to accomplish something sonically and musically, and taking our time in doing it,� says bass player Shayde Sartin. This isn’t to say that Long Slow Dance is a complete departure for the band. The jangling guitars, mid-tempo post-punk beats and Smith-esquc melodramatic melodies were always present on their early records. But now they take centerstage with the cleaner production.

Not to mention, the underground bands of the 1980s were highly influenced by the psychedelic garage bands of the 1960s. Sartin is tired of having to justify the band’s decision to move away from lo-fi recordings since the recording quality isn’t at all what characterizes their music. “I like really produced-sounding records. Anybody that says they don’t is a fucking liar. You’re going to tell me you don’t like the sound of the Smiths The Queen is Dead? You’re a fucking liar. You’re going to tell me you don’t like the sound of Hall & Oates? You’re a fucking liar. Everybody likes a good sound,� Sartin says. What does truly characterizes the band is their converging mixture of moods and thoughtful songwriting, something they learned from those great underground bands of the 80s. “We’re always trying to do this perfect blend of melancholy, sincerity and sadness mixed with humor, lightheartedness and awkwardness. People think of R.E.M. and the Smiths as these super humorless bands. In fact they were extremely filled with humor on the tragic comedy side,� Sartin says.

Brothers Comatose Led by real-life siblings Alex and Ben Morrison, the Brothers Comatose play a rollicking brand of bluegrass that calls to mind an oldfashioned hootenanny. Since coming together with Gio Benedetti on bass, Ryan Avellone on mandolin and Philip Brezina on fiddle in San Francisco two years ago, the brothers have led the quintet to such legendary venues as the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, the Great American Music Hall and San Francisco’s Fillmore poster room, just one indication of how far the band has come and what a bright future it has.

Christie McCarthy Christie McCarthy always felt that she belonged in the 1960s. Short of a time machine, she

moved to Berkeley instead. A prolific songwriter who uses her music to cope with life’s constant oscillation between pain and joy, McCarthy finds growth in every album she releases. Tonight sees McCarthy partnered with Santa Cruz’s own lap steel guitar legend Patti Maxine, who first began her flirtation with Hawaiian music as a young girl in Virginia. While both women have built successful careers from their music, each gives back to the community as well, as McCarthy has become a dedicated supporter of solar energy and Maxine continues to raise funds for Guitars Not Guns.

Buckethead There are two sides to the Buckethead story. The first is that he’s a virtuoso who is utterly unclassifiable, other than to say that he absolutely shreds on the guitar. The second is that he’s the dude who wears the KFC bucket on his head and the Michael Myers Halloween mask on his face. The latter, I can’t speak to; maybe there’s a profound story behind the getup, I’m not sure. The former, however, I can attest to. Buckethead, whose real name is

Brian Carroll, challenges the constraints of genre, style and technicality and has created an immense musical universe for himself where prog, metal, blues, funk, jazz, ambient and avant-garde all coexist effortlessly. Catalyst; $20 adv/$25 door; 9pm. (Cat Johnson)

Scissors for Lefty Producing bouncing indie rock is all in the family for San Francisco’s Scissors for Lefty, featuring two sets of brothers and one cool uncle. With buzzing guitars, soaring falsetto and danceable beats, the band struts the path paved by post-punk revival staples such as Franz Ferdinand and the Arctic Monkeys. Winning their big break from a radio contest in 2007 to share the stage with the likes of Interpol and Social Distortion, Scissors for Lefty has since travelled the world and made a name for itself with exuberant tunes and live shows meant for a real good time.

Tribute to the Music of Mary McCaslin & Jim Ringer As far as folk duets go, Mary McCaslin and her late husband, Jim Ringer, can stand with anyone.

On Sunday, McCaslin, along with multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter and Dave Alvin sideman, Rick Shea, guitarist extraordinaire Nina Gerber and Austinbased singer/songwriter Ray Bonneville will pay tribute to the music of a real-life bramble and rose, playing songs both written and inspired by McCaslin and Ringer.

A musical dream team, these three artists have played with (and are included among) the greatest jazz musicians of all time including Miles Davis, Horace Silver, Keith Jarrett, Jackie McLean and more. While some all-star lineups fall apart under the weight of individual egos, word is that this trio is one for the history books. Rio Theatre; $40; 7:30pm. (CJ)

Mary Gauthier Someone once said that to write a great song, you don’t try to write about everything; you write about one thing that reflects everything. Master songcrafter Mary Gauthier is a spoton example of this approach. The Louisianaborn, Nashville-based singer/songwriter combines the open-heartedness of a poet, the honesty of a good friend and the humor of someone who has seen worse to create songs that reveal the deeper truths of the human condition. With a topical comfort zone that ranges from rollicking sing-alongs to soulwrenching personal revelations, Gauthier is a unique artist whose wordsmithing abilities are among the finest of our time.

A snarling punk band from the sunshine state of Florida, Against Me! is going through some changes. Earlier this year, lead singer Tom Gabel publicly came out as transgender and announced his plans to live as a woman by the name of Laura Jane Grace while continuing to command the stage as a 6-foot-2 frontwoman screaming into the microphone in high heels. Against Me! is currently crafting a concept album titled Transgender Dysphoria Blues to be released on its own label, Total Treble Music, telling the tale of a transgender prostitute and reflecting Gabel’s life with gender dysphoria.

New BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II (1989) Sequel to the time-travel-meets-teenflick hit is mostly remembered now for the false rumor that floated around for years that the movie had predicted the outcome of the 1997 World Series. It didn’t, of course, and it didn’t do much else, either. But it was still better than Part III. (Thu at Santa Cruz 9)

NATURAL BORN KILLERS (1994) Savages was a minor artistic comeback for Oliver Stone; its best parts echoed this landmark film, one of the most divisive of the last 20 years. Reading the making-of book, Killer Instinct, makes it clear what a bizarre headspace Stone was in at the time, and how that ended up thrown onto the screen in living color. Violence, creepy caricatures and goofy Native American stereotypes abound,

PIT STOP There’s plenty to nosh at the Olive Connection on First Friday.

Sneaky Friday Freeloading secrets of Santa Cruz’s monthly art event BY GEORGIA PERRY & JACOB PIERCE

T

The coming of “First Friday� means two things: One, another night of inspiring, innovative arts events. Two, you just paid rent. Luckily, once a month in Santa Cruz you can satisfy your inner culture vulture, while simultaneously acting like an actual vulture. Go ahead, eat that 18th cheese cube—save your groceries for Saturday night. Here are some of the best places to score free food and drink on First Friday in downtown Santa Cruz: THE TRUE OLIVE CONNECTION 106 Lincoln St., Santa Cruz

If there were a one-stop shopping destination for a variety of free food, this might be the spot. The True Olive Connection presents its visitors with a mountain of cheese cubes, charcuterie, crackers and olives. It is even the best place to pick up a “date.� (Get it? They have dates you can eat. As in, the food. Dates!). The shopoffers a 10 percent First Friday discount on its merchandise. STRIPE & STRIPE MEN 107 Walnut Ave., Santa Cruz

For one night a month, Stripe Men

is the home of a watered-down but tasty whiskey cocktail called a “mantini.� Freeloading patrons are welcome to wander the store staring at (or, depending on how many man-tinis, conversing with) the animal heads on the walls. Next door, Stripe Men’s older sister Stripe has a refreshing vodkahibiscus “Stripe-tini,� plus brie and crackers. FELIX KULPA GALLERY 107 Elm St., Santa Cruz

With wine and bite-size sweets, Felix Kulpa offers standard First Friday fare. Robbie Schoen’s gallery is famous for its phone booth water fountain and wild sculptures, and often has some of the most intriguing art downtown—both indoors and out. We enjoyed the view of the sculpture garden while munching homemade chocolate chip cookies CAMOUFLAGE 1329 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz

The second to last stop on our First Friday tour had bottles of Crane Lake wine, a variety of hors d’oeuvres and some of the friendliest catering service this side of the San Lorenzo. 0

because pastries in general aren’t easy to just whip up. It takes knowledge and patience. I’m sure most people have some sort of warm memories of childhood with regards to a freshly baked treat; i.e., it reminds them of their grandmothers cookies. I do believe that people adore our pastries because we use only real butter and sugar as well as using the freshest ingredients possible. Also we hand make each item so there is quite a bit of detail that goes into them. 6]e RWR g]c USb W\b] bVS ^Oab`g PcaW\Saa-I started in the pastry business directly out of high school. I decided to go to the Culinary Academy in San Francisco as an alternative to college. From culinary school, I was fortunate enough to get an internship at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company in the four-star dining room were I was hired on by Gary Danko and produced and plated all the desserts for the dinner service nightly. 2] g]c QVO\US g]c` ]TTS`W\Ua ]\ O `SUcZO` POaWa-We don’t necessarily

change our offerings, we tend to keep our staple items and we tend to create different items according to seasonality of produce as well as holidays. EVWQV ]T g]c` a^SQWOZbWSa aSS[a b] PS []ab ^]^cZO`- EVg- We would have to categorize them by morning pastry, desserts and cakes.... For morning pastries our croissants are most popular because they are so buttery and flaky and as far as desserts/cakes, I would have to say the top sellers like the “Royal Hawaiian� or the “Whisky Cake� are most popular due to their uniqueness. The standbys such as the “Triple Chocolate Mousse� are very popular as well. I do believe that our customers tend to indulge when it comes to dessert. EVOb bW[S R] bVS POYS`a abO`b [OYW\U aQ]\Sa O\R ^Oab`WSa T]` g]c` ab]`S- The bakers start at 2 am in order to get all our pasteries out to our

other locations and to our wholesale accounts by 5:30 am. 6]e R] g]c Od]WR Q]\ac[W\U b]] [cQV ]T g]c` ]e\ ^`]RcQb O\R PSQ][W\U bVS aWhS ]T <Se 6O[^aVW`S- I don’t totally avoid consuming

my products, I just eat them in moderation and exercise. We find that after the first year or so you kinda get tired of eating pastries so the indulgence becomes less. I personally try not to take pastries home because after dinner is the hardest time to talk yourself out of eating that most delectible brownie, mousse cake or cookie you brought home.
