ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

ARIES Mar21–Apr19 “When I was young,” wrote French author Albert Camus, “I expected people to give me more than they could— continuous friendship, permanent emotion.” That didn't work out so well for him. Over and over, he was awash in disappointment. "”Now I have learned to expect less of them than they can give,” he concluded. “Their emotions, their friendship, and noble gestures keep their full miraculous value in my eyes; wholly the fruit of grace.” I'd love to see you make an adjustment like this in the coming months, Aries. If you do, the astrological omens suggest you will experience a blessing like Camus'.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Some earthquakes happen in slow motion. These rare events occur 22 to 34 miles down, where tectonic plates are hotter and gooier. Unlike the sudden, shocking jolts of typical temblors, this gradual variety can take many days to uncoil and never send dishes flying off shelves up here on the earth's surface. I suspect your destiny will have a resemblance to this phenomenon in the coming months, Taurus. Your foundations will be rustling and rumbling, but they will do so slowly and gently. The release of energy will ultimately be quite massive. The realignment of deep structures will be epic. But there will be no big disturbances or damages.

GEMINI May21–June20

MAY 28-JUNE 3, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

I suspect that some night soon you will have a dream of being naked as you stand on stage in front of a big audience. Or maybe not completely naked. There's a strong possibility you will be wearing pink-and-green striped socks and a gold crown. And it gets worse. In your dream, I bet you will forget what you were going to say to the expectant crowd. Your mouth will be moving but no words will come out. So that's the bad news, Gemini. The good news is that since I have forewarned you, you can now do whatever is necessary to prevent anything resembling this dream from actually occurring in your waking life. So when you are called on to show what you've got and make a splashy impression, you will be well-prepared.

Week of May 28 Virgo. I'm not sure what exact form it will take. A resuscitation? A resurrection? A recovery? The revival of a dormant dream? The thawing of a frozen asset or the return of a lost resource?

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 For German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld, the good news was that he was nominated for the Nobel Prize 81 times. The bad news is that he never actually won. Actor Richard Burton had a similar fate. He was nominated for an Academy Award seven times, but never took home an Oscar. If there is anything that even vaguely resembles that pattern in your own life, Libra, the next 12 months will be the most favorable time ever to break the spell. In the next few weeks, you may get a glimpse of how it will unfold.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 “I should have kissed you longer.” I hope you won't be replaying that thought over and over again in your imagination three weeks from now. I hope you won't be obsessing on similar mantras, either, like “I should have treated you better” or “I wish I would have listened to you deeper” or “I should have tried harder to be my best self with you.” Please don't let any of that happen, Scorpio. I am begging you to act now to make any necessary changes in yourself so that you will be fully ready to give the important people in your life the care they deserve. If you do so, you will be free of regrets later.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “Longing, what is that? Desire, what is that?” Those are questions Louise Gluck asks in her poem “Prism.” Does she really not know? Has she somehow become innocent again, free from all her memories of what longing and desire have meant to her in the past? That's what I wish for you right now, Sagittarius. Can you do it? Can you enter into beginner's mind and feel your longing and desire as if they were brand new, just born, as fresh and primal as they were at the moment you fell in love for the first time? If you can manage it, you will bestow upon yourself a big blessing.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

When I slip into a meditative state and seek insight about your future, I have a reverie about a hearty sapling growing out of a fallen tree that's rotting on the forest floor. I see exuberant mushrooms sprouting from a cowpie in a pasture. I imagine compost nourishing a watermelon patch. So what do my visions mean? I'm guessing you're going through a phase of metaphorical death and decay. You are shedding and purging and flushing. In the process, you are preparing some top-notch fertilizer. It won't be ready for a while, but when it is, a growth spurt will begin.

You could really benefit from engaging with a compassionate critic—someone who would gently and lovingly invite you to curb your excesses, heal your ignorance, and correct your mistakes. Would you consider going out in search of a kick-ass guide like that? ideally, this person would also motivate you to build up your strengths and inspire you to take better care of your body. One way or another, Capricorn, curative feedback will be coming your way. The question is, will you have a hand in choosing it, or will you wait around passively for fate to deliver it? I highly recommend the former.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

“Dear Diary: Almost everything that was possible to change has changed these past 12 months. I am not kidding and I am not exaggerating. Getting just one of my certainties destroyed would have been acceptable; I long ago became accustomed to the gradual chip-chipchipping away of my secure foundations. But this most recent phase, when even my pretty illusions of stability got smashed, truly set a record. So then why am I still standing strong and proud? Why is it I'm not cowering in the corner muttering to the spiders? Have I somehow found some new source of power that was never available to me until my defenses were totally stripped away? I think I'll go with that theory.”

Now would be an excellent time for you to dream up five new ways to have fun. I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with your existing methods. It's just that in the next few weeks, life will conspire to help you drop some of your inhibitions and play around more than usual and experience greater pleasure. The best way to cooperate with that conspiracy is to be an explorer on the frontiers of amusement and enchantment. What's the most exciting thing you have always wondered about but never done? What interesting experiment have you denied yourself for no good reason? What excursion or adventure would light up your spontaneity?

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 About 32,000 years ago, squirrels in northeast Siberia buried the fruits of a flowering plant deep in their burrows, below the level of the permafrost. Then a flood swept through the area. The water froze and permanently sealed the fruits in a layer of ice. They remained preserved there until 2007, when they were excavated. A team of scientists got a hold of them and coaxed them to grow into viable plants. Their success has a metaphorical resemblance to a project you will be capable of pulling off during the next 12 months,

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Now is an excellent time to transform your relationship with your past. Are you up for a concentrated burst of psychospiritual work? To get the party started, meditate your ass off as you ponder this question: “What fossilized fixations, ancient insults, impossible dreams, and parasitic ghosts am I ready to let go of?” Next, move on to this inquiry: “What can I do to ensure that relaxed, amused acceptance will rule my encounters with the old ways forever after?” Here's a third query: “What will I do with all the energy I free up by releasing the deadweight I had been clinging to?”

Homework: I dare you to give a compliment to someone you've never praised before. Tell me about it at Freewillastrology.com.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: SANCTUARY CAMP Our census count and [Eugene’s] are done similarly, so we should not be counting their [homeless population] at 10,000, and ours at 3,500—but rather theirs at 1,750, and ours at 3,500.

Lane County has a population of about 350,000. Santa Cruz County is about 250,000. Santa Cruz’s population is about 65,000, and Eugene's is about 100,000. Why does Santa Cruz have so many more homeless than Eugene? Furthermore, Lane County's homeless population is shrinking (down from 3,971 in 2010) while ours is growing (2,771 in 2011)? While this might seem like a solution, what is driving our homeless growth? Perhaps we should figure that out before anything else. —XANTHIPPE

INSIDE OUT A Brief History of gay pride in Santa Cruz

MAY 28-JUNE 3, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY JOHN LAIRD

10

As we prepare to celebrate the 40th annual Santa Cruz Pride this coming weekend, now the largest regular political gathering in Santa Cruz County, it’s hard to believe that those first marches in the 1970s required security to protect the gutsy few out Santa Cruzans and their allies who walked down Pacific Avenue. It was a different time, locally and nationally. Locally, in the late 1970s the university enrollment was at just over 5,000, downtown Santa Cruz was dead after 6 p.m., the Miss California Pageant would still call Santa Cruz home for another few years, and the Board of Supervisors and City Council had conservative majorities. Across the country, it was illegal to be gay in most states. The movie Milk from 2008 showed police hassling San Francisco gay bar customers in this period. When I was elected to the Santa Cruz City Council 33 years ago this coming November, there were but about 10 openly gay elected officials throughout the United States. The first public stirrings of the local gay community happened at both UCSC and Cabrillo College. Lesbian and gay counseling and support groups were organized. The first gay pride celebration was in 1975, with the effort to get a gay pride resolution passed at the Board of Supervisors becoming a major public controversy–and the resolution passing with the bare majority. The first actual parade happened in 1976, and the first years of the parade brought out many anti-gay demonstrators. A long organizing campaign against the 1978 “Briggs Initiative” to outlaw openly gay teachers was led by CUDBI– Community United Against the Briggs Initiative. Gay beach volleyball began the next year. The arrest of gay men entrapped by undercover Capitola police officers in 1980, and the subsequent publishing of the names and home addresses of those arrested in local newspapers, led

An A-to-Z guide to what our legislators have been up to in Sacramento | BY TOM GOGOLA ABALONE and other shellfish harvesting is a key California industry, and Assemblymember Wesley Chesbro, D-Santa Rosa, has introduced a joint resolution that aims to enhance state efforts at building a commercial aquaculture infrastructure. Chesbro offers support for a clean, healthy marine environment that protects shellfish beds and provides "access to additional acreage for shellfish farming and restoration." It also pushes for greater cooperation between industry, environmental, and federal and state officials to develop a permitting process that's "efficient and economical for both shellfish restoration and commercial farming."

from people just trying to make the earth a greener space by pedaling to the corner deli instead of firing up the Escalade. But there's a fine public-policy rationale behind Concord Democratic senator Mark DeSaulnier's proposal, which would open the door to localities to slap a point-of-sale tax on adult bicycle sales and use the money to fund and maintain bike trails. (SB 1183)

underworld Corporate Campaign Cabal can throw at a candidate. Growing public outrage over these supremely undemocratic moves is reflected in Assemblymember Bob Wieckowski's House Resolution 37, which puts fellow lawmakers on the spot by asking that they support his resolution, which proposes the notion that democracy is by, for and of the People. Radical thought, that. (HR 37)

CAMPAIGN finance reform is one of those pro-democracy conceits that the U.S. Supreme Court has thrown under the bus, favoring a money-is-speech approach to financing elections that gives the advantage to deep pockets over empty ones. Citizens United gave undue power to corporations' ability to influence elections, and the recent McCutcheon ruling dispensed with limits on how much cash Daddy Warbucks or his

'FISH' is one of those words

you used to see on the restaurant menu, and you'd say, "I'll have the fish." What kind of fish? Didn't matter, you were ordering the fish. Restaurants are a lot more specific these days, but Big Grocery has a bad habit of mislabeling the monkfish— or did. Public awareness of the rampant mislabeling of fish, or "fish fraud," courtesy of a 2013 report by the conservationist organization Oceana, has led to a push by Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Pacoima, to mandate accurate labeling of the fish at your local grocer. Guess what? There are all sorts of different fish out there, some tastier than others—and some more endangered or otherwise overfished than others. (SB 1138)

GMO labeling isn't just something that's being promoted on your bottle of Dr. Bronner's soap. California voters rejected a 2012 push, Proposition 37, to require the labeling of genetically modified Os; thanks for that, Big Ag. Now, Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa, has taken up the call with another proposed GMO-labeling law. (SB1381)

HOUND DOGS aren't just the subject of an Elvis Presley song; there's a legal designation set up by state Fish and Wildlife people to differentiate between regular dogs and licensed hound dogs that are used to chase off bears or other beasts, especially when said beast wanders onto ranchland in search of a BLM employee or a quickie burger. Assemblymember Tim Donnelly, the Tea Party GOP candidate for governor, has offered a bill that repeals the state-mandated designation, so that any ol' dog can go right ahead and chase a bear, so you can shoot it—in the name of sport. Sport hunting bears and bobcats with hounds was banned in 2012. Just let it go, Tim. (AB 2205)

IMMIGRATION is this amazing thing that helped stand up the United States of America as it strode into "its century" (the 20th) and needed a whole bunch of new people to man the ramparts of industrial capitalism. These days, people come to this country because they think: “Democracy, Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwiches, Real Housewives of New Jersey. What's not to love?” Then they get here, and Louie Gohmert wants to beat the crap out of them. As we wrote about previously in these pages, Watsonville’s own Assemblymember Luis Alejo has offered a bill that would ask that Homeland Security lay off on the deportation of undocumented immigrants who file their taxes. Might not be an easy battle. (AB 2014) JUVENILE JUSTICE is a big issue these days, as states grapple with progressive notions like "restorative justice" in an economic climate that often leaves young people of limited means with few options beyond Burger King or a life of crime. The "schools-toprison pipeline" continues to plague lawmakers' best efforts to undo or undermine that awful dynamic, and Assemblymember Nora Campos, D-San Jose, has offered an amendment to the state penal code that requires corrections officials, when seeking grant monies for jobtraining programs and the like, to include at-risk youth as a target

N

population. (AB 1920)

KLANSMEN of the Ku Klux variety won't like it much, but 2014 marks the 60th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision that set the stage for desegregation in schools and universities. A resolution introduced by Assemblymember Shirley Weber, D-San Diego, reads, in part, "The United States Supreme Court's decision became the legal impetus to school desegregation throughout the United States, and led to one of the most profound social movements in the history of the United States." (ACR 140)

LOW-INCOME people get thirsty, too. And yet they are often faced with immense water bills that they can't pay, or can only do so after a visit to the local payday lender. Assemblymember Mariko Yamada, D-Davis, has offered a bill that would set up a low-income water rate assistance program to provide subsidies and water bill discounts. (AB 1434)

MARIJUANA is very popular in California, sources say, but the state's medical dispensary laws are a hodgepodge of bong-spillage messy whereby localities have created laws that don't carry over into the next bud-unfriendly burg. Now Sen. Lou Correa, D-Anaheim, has introduced a bill offering a platform for statewide regulation. (SB 1262) NALOXONE: ever heard of it? There's a reason why you haven't—California pharmacies have been forbidden from dispensing the opioid-overdose medication to families of heroin addicts. While we appreciate that the preferred stupid-drug of choice in these parts is meth, heroin's the sleeper in this unfortunate bid for bragging rights to which drug can ruin more lives. Naloxone is said to be an effective way to save you from an overdose croak-out. Cut to the scene where John Travolta plunges a needle into Uma Thurman's heart in Pulp Fiction. The proposal by Assemblymember Richard Bloom, D-Santa Monica, is a far-lessdraconian life-saving measure. It's a pill. (AB 1535)

OIL AND GAS FRACKING is bad juju all around. Anti-fracking forces are finding a home in Sacramento, where Holly Mitchell and Mark Leno, Democratic senators both (from Los Angeles and San Francisco, respectively), have offered a bill that would put a moratorium on the practice of oil and gas extraction, which, if you've been living under the Monterey Shale, uses vast amounts of fresh water on the way to marginally reducing the price of energy. Then there's that whole bit where fracking has been causing earthquakes in Ohio. (SB 1132)

'PAID SICK LEAVE' sounds like a basic right that any worker should enjoy. Not so. Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, has a bill that compels employers to offer at least three days of paid leave for workers. Gonzalez says on her website that "providing employees with paid sick leave could reduce healthcare costs by allowing workers and their family members time to visit a primary care physician to address an illness rather than rushing to an emergency room to seek care due to their fear of missing work." (AB 1522)

QUICK, what do you think is the most California-centric of all possible "awareness weeks" on a vast roster that includes the Armenian genocide and colorectal research? Oh, come now: it's Compost Awareness Week, which was adopted by the state legislature on May 8. (HR39) REVERSE MORTGAGES can provide a chunk of welcome cash to seniors or others, but the industry is growing faster than regulators can keep up, with vulture lenders circling in the post-subprime crash to push offers on seniors that sound great until you read fine print loaded with fees and other weird charges and stipulations. The state is getting tough by putting in protections such as those offered in Riverside Democratic Assemblymember Jose Medina's bill, which would "prohibit a lender from taking a reverse mortgage application or assessing any fees" until a week or more after a prospective reversemortgage applicant has come forward. (AB 1700)

SUGARY DRINKS

are one of those "nanny state" issues that folks like Sarah Palin like to tout when they need a whip dog for their anti-government hysteria, itself grounded in a fantastical vision of apocalyptic Ayn Randian selfishness whereby "Don't Tread on Me" extends to your right to a pair of wrecked kidneys. A bill offered by our own Sen. Bill Monning, D-Carmel, would slap a label on sugary drinks warning of obesity and a host of rather unpleasant diseases. Maybe this one will fare better than his anti-food-trucknear-schools bill. (SB 1000)

"TRAFFICKING IN HUMANS" spans a range of human behaviors under the state penal code, some more odious than others. Among other new penalties related to child sex trafficking, an amendment to the California penal code stiffens penalties for solicitation of prostitution by tossing a would-be john in the county lockup for at least two days. Currently, there's no mandatoryminimum sentence for solicitation, which can get you up to six months. Watch how you respond to those Craigslist ads, fellas. The bill is sponsored by a trio of senators, Ted Lieu, Jerry Hill and Holly Mitchell, Democrats all. (SB 1388)

"UNSAFE HANDGUN" is either an oxymoron or a redundancy, depending on your view of the Second Amendment. Assemblymember Roger Dickinson, D-Sacramento, is trying to add altered semiautomatic pistols and single-shot pistols to a state roster of "unsafe handguns" that can't be sold or otherwise transferred between non-familial parties, closing what's known as the "singleshot exemption" loophole. The gun lobby is naturally not happy about this. (AB 1964)

VIVA LA HERMANA ESTADO! California and the Mexican state of Jalisco enjoy a sister-state relationship that's been re-upped in a senate resolution offered by Sen. Ben Hueso, D-San Diego. Are you wondering how many Californians get deported from Jalisco each year? (SCR 82)

WE’VE COME A LONG WAY Former mayor John Laird has has seen a massive shift in the political landscape since Santa Cruz’s first Pride event.

to over 200 people protesting the actions at a Capitola City Council meeting. Santa Cruz County was the first in the nation to adopt a gay non-discrimination policy for its own employees in 1975, and the City of Santa Cruz and Metropolitan Transit District’s domestic partners benefits programs were among the first in the nation in the mid-1980s. In 1983, I had my own 15 minutes of fame as one of the first three openly gay mayors elected in the United States. Gay bars were an integral part of the culture in that time. The Dragon Moon, Mona’s Gorilla Lounge, the Blue Lagoon, Faces and others were among the few places gay men and women could meet openly in public. The HIV epidemic shook the local and national gay community. The Santa Cruz AIDS Project was organized as a local response, and at one point had as many

as 600 regular volunteers. Lesbians and gay men, who had struggled over issues of equity in the 1970s, were bound together by the epidemic in the 1980s and 1990s. Fast-forwarding to now, there are no exclusive gay bars left in the county. We have two openly gay school board members now, but there has been no fanfare because it is not as unique as it once would have been. Our county clerk and Board of Supervisors were in the forefront of the fight for marriage equality. Proposition 8–the 2008 ballot measure against marriage equality–failed in Santa Cruz County with a resounding 71 percent no vote. And with Supreme Court action last year, marriage equality has come to California permanently–and as of this writing, has expanded to eighteen states across the country. There’s not a walk of life in Santa Cruz County that doesn’t have an open LGBT

person somewhere in its organization. There are hundreds of children of gay parents in the county. And while it was a few hearty activists that organized gay pride in the early years, the Diversity Center–a thriving core of the LGBT community celebrating its own 25th anniversary this year–has taken on the responsibility for making sure the celebration happens each year now. The movie Bridegroom, screened last week at the Del Mar, chronicles the difficulties faced by a surviving member of a young couple when he was barred from the funeral of his spouse, and shows us there are still things to do. But we have come a long way since those early gay pride celebrations. I love to tell a story from a few years ago at the parade, when I was getting ready to ride in an open convertible as the area’s state legislator. Ahead of me a few contingents was the medical marijuana float, with

a giant joint puffing smoke as it went down the street. The sheriff and his top deputies had been placed near that float in the parade’s order–and they walked back and asked if they could march by me during the parade. It was the perfect circle. Thirty years ago, security had to protect the parade in more difficult times. Now I had become the safe port in the political storm. That’s progress. And many worked hard for this progress, at a time when we believed strongly we were right, but with no assurance that we were on the right side of history. Don’t take this progress for granted–and fight for those who still face the obstacles chronicled in Bridegroom. Come celebrate the 40th Santa Cruz Gay Pride. John Laird is a former mayor of Santa Cruz, and was a member of the California legislature. He now serves in Governor Brown’s cabinet, as Secretary of Natural Resources.

is a big industry in L.A., but there's a whole world of porn out there that includes a porn-mecca warehouse in San Francisco that's open for tours. Setting aside feminist arguments against porn for the moment, can we agree that porn is here, it's oftentimes queer, and it's not going anywhere? As such, many are asking for porn to be disease-free, thanks, and we'd like for actors in the industry to have worker-safety protections. Porn actors in L.A. already have to slip a jimmy as part of that city's antiHIV (and other infectious diseases) campaign, and if you want to open a porn studio in Milpitas, the "porn condom" bill from Assemblymember Isadore Hall, D-Compton, would extend those protections statewide. It would also require regular testing for STDs. (AB 1576)

YOU REALLY THOUGHT we'd get through this list without working in a mention of L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling? Well, check yourself before you wreck yourself. If you happen to see that racist fool skulking around a game and feel compelled to give him a smack, Assemblymember Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, has offered a bill that slaps a fine from $8,000 to $16,000 on anyone convicted of fan-violence assault or battery. (AB 2457)

ZIP LINES AND BARS were singled out in a report by the state auditor's office this year, when it was revealed that over $600,000 had been spent at the Veterans Home of California in Yountville on such frivolities, when meanwhile, the state has thousands of homeless vets on its streets. Assemblymember Mariko Yamada, D-Davis, has offered a bill that would ramp up accountability for expenditures needing approval from the California Department of Veterans Affairs, with an emphasis on regulating the outside-contracting services that led to the Yountville controversy. (AB 1580)

Look at all the amazing benefits losing just 10 pounds can make!! YOUR BODY DOESN’T HAVE TO WORK AS HARD Research demonstrates that for every pound of fat you lose, you run up to 4 seconds faster per mile; with 10lbs gone, that’s up to 40 seconds off your mile time. Bending over, tying shoes, getting your jeans on‌all improve with just a 10 pound loss. IMPROVE YOUR MOOD: Given our sugarrich society, serotonin levels are historically depleted—at an alltime low. This causes depression and adrenal exhaustion. Clean up the diet, eat less sugar, lose 10 pounds and you will feel more confident and have more energy! Plus your body image and self esteem will get a big boost because 10 pounds really shows. STAY BALANCED: Just a small amount of excess weight may alter hormones in a negative way... ask anyone with PMS. Losing 10 pounds can aid with menstrual and amenopausal distress, as will as making it easier to get pregnant since ovulation can improve. SHRINK YOUR FAT CELLS: Yes, you’ll actually make the cells smaller. 10 pounds off an “applesâ€? mid section decreases the likelihood of heart disease. DODGE DIABETES: You know that extra pounds can lead to prediabetes and diabetes. But shedding 5 to 10 percent of your weight can slash that risk by nearly 60 percent!! JOINT HEALTH Your risk for injury diminishes and your joints will suffer less wear and tear. Every pound of body weight translates to about 4 pounds of force on your ankles, knees and hips when you’re walking, so 10 extra pounds on your frame means 40 more pounds of pressure on your joints. Most people lose 10 pounds in 4 to 6 weeks at The Healthy Way! By the end of June‌ beginning of July YOU could make this wonderful change for yourself.

Allucquére “Sandy” Stone, a transgender woman, came out in Santa Cruz before people had many role models like Grace and Wachowski. Now living mostly in Texas, she was the only visible trans person in town at one time in the 1970s. “It was interesting. It could be ugly, but it could also be glorious,” Stone says. “One of the reasons I chose to transition in Santa Cruz was that I anticipated that Santa Cruz would be possibly more supportive than, say, Dubuque or Toledo, and I turned out to be correct. I felt very much at home and nurtured by the women’s community of Santa Cruz.” At times, though, radical feminists and other fringes among the women’s rights activists have questioned her womanhood, she says, and Stone did have to overcome notions that she brought a perspective of male privilege to women’s issues. Now in her seventies, she says the biggest issues facing the trans community today are ensuring equal status for transgender people, protection and enforcement under such laws and recognition for trans people of color. Progress is slow, but continuing. California became the first state last year to allow school

huge monthly party celebrating the local creative community, First Friday is now a cornerstone of Santa Cruz’s cultural scene. But 10 years ago, before it was a wildly popular event, it consisted of little more than galleries in empty storefronts, a tiny walking tour, and a bus painted to resemble a cow that

shuttled art appreciators around. Still, First Friday co-founders Kirby Scudder and Chip believed there was an opportunity in Santa Cruz to match up artists with an appreciative local audience. First Friday was created around the core idea of promoting artists, something of which this area has no shortage. In fact, the event stemmed in part

from the pair asking themselves how, in such an art-rich town, there could be so few galleries. “Santa Cruz was clearly ripe for such an event,” says Chip. “We have all of the elements—we have a community that really likes to participate, we have a growing community of people interested in culture, we have an incredible

climate, and we have an incredible pool of creatives here.” Chip and Scudder set about testing the market with the series of events—and cow-bus tours—that would eventually become First Friday Santa Cruz. As the event celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, it’s clear that their hunch about the local art

‘It’s really exciting to see the vibrancy, and think back to when Kirby and I were standing there waiting to see if 10 people were going to show up for the art tour.’ —Chip and an exhibit titled “Love’s Body,” featuring artworks, oration and music inspired by the words and life of Santa Cruz’s own Norman O. Brown. Schoen says the new gallery is, like the original Felix Kulpa Gallery, an experiment. First Friday is an essential part of the experiment. “I sell more art that night than any other time,” he says. “It’s a regular thing I can depend on. This is my idea of trying to get a business to succeed, and I can’t do it without it.” Another exhibit that First Friday organizers are particularly excited about for June 6 is “Faces of Santa Cruz” at the Art Loft, located at 1319 Pacific Avenue, above Pacific Thai. The show features David Dennis’ large-scale portraits of Santa Cruz County residents, including local public figures, and people who were at one point homeless, but are now housed and supported by the 180/180 program. There are dozens of additional exhibits at a variety of venues including shops, museums and a growing number of galleries. First Friday’s 10th anniversary celebration will continue with a street fair in the fall. As for the future of the event, Chip says that for as big as it’s gotten, it has still just barely tapped into the potential that exists in Santa Cruz. But the mission of supporting artists in Santa Cruz is something that organizers have worked to keep as the main priority as the event has grown. “The best case scenario is that First Friday stays authentic to the artists,” he says. “That’s a key piece of the event. For the arts economy to work, you need to support the artists.”

scene was correct. But as the event has grown, it’s become a focal point not just for art, but for all types of cultural activity, including ribbon cuttings, openings, parties and other events. Some of the First Friday anchor venues over the years— many of which have been involved from the very beginning—include Artisans, Santa Cruz County Bank, Stripe, Felix Kulpa Gallery, Pure Pleasure, the library, the MAH and Michaelangelo Studios. Robbie Schoen, director of the Felix Kulpa Gallery, has watched First Friday grow in size and significance over the years. “It reminds me of the situation at the MAH,” he says. “I’ve been working there for at least eight years, and finally there’s momentum now where it’s just getting better and better, like a rocket to the moon. The same thing is happening with First Friday. Who doesn't want to be a part of something that’s getting better all the time?” Combining the cultural variety of a big city with the neighborly feel of a small town, First Friday now brings crowds to the streets of Santa Cruz. Chip admits it’s not only satisfying, but kind of a relief. “It's really exciting to see the vibrancy, and think back to when Kirby and I were standing there waiting to see if 10 people were going to show up for the art tour,” he says. “There was a time not too long ago where the vibrancy just didn’t exist at the level it does now.” First Friday’s 10th anniversary celebration begins this summer, and for the June 6 edition, a new gallery, Felix Kulpa II, located at 209 Laurel Street, will join the festivities. It will host a preview of the new space,

Santa Cruz’s Camper Van Beethoven take California fetish to BottleRock | BY STEVE PALOPOLI

C

ould there be a better act to play the uniquely Northern California festival BottleRock than Santa Cruz’s own Camper Van Beethoven, with their conjoined twin band Cracker in tow? After all, Camper is the group that on their 2013 album La Costa Perdida delivered “Northern California Girls,” perhaps the ultimate NorCal anthem—meaning an anthem that’s way too laid back to actually be an anthem. “Right, it takes seven minutes to get where it’s going,” admits David Lowery, the frontman for both Camper and Cracker. “The drums come in a little bit like three times before they finally kick in about three-

and-a-half minutes into the song.” Lowery had already written his share of great California songs for both Camper and Cracker over the years; most recently, “Where Have Those Days Gone”—in which he mistakes Good Times astrologer Rob Brezsny for Thomas Pynchon in a bar in Mendocino County—but also “Big Dipper,” “Miss Santa Cruz County,” “Come On Darkness” and more. But with his latest cycle, he’s outdone himself. While La Costa Perdida was a NorCal-influenced album, the songs on Camper’s latest, El Camino Real (which comes out June 3), are all set in, or otherwise related to, SoCal. “We wrote these songs at the same time, then thematically we broke off

most of the Northern California ones for the last album, and then kind of took these songs that were Southern California, and built another album around them, by adding another five songs or something like that,” says Lowery. “There’s kind of this opus going now, this theme going. There’s also a Cracker album, which comes out next year. It’s a double disc—one is Berkeley, one is Bakersfield. One is the punk side of the band, one is the country side.” So, basically, four albums worth of California songs. And it all started because of…Joan Didion? “I think it started with me and Victor [Krummenacher] and Jonathan [Segel] reading a bunch of Joan Didion,” confirms Lowery. He

can’t remember which collection of essays specifically sparked it, but it would almost have to be the first section of Slouching Toward Bethlehem, in which Didion rips to shreds the “golden dream” of the Inland Empire—where Lowery, his Camper bandmates Krummenacher and Segel, and Cracker co-founder Johnny Hickman all grew up. “Those essays really captured the feel of it. It’s not really that flattering about the area, but that’s sort of what people from the Inland Empire are proud of,” says Lowery. “There was actually some sort of referendum on a theme for the Inland Empire, like ‘Virginia is for Lovers’ or how California is the Golden State. And we all wrote in: ‘We will kick your ass.’” The most noticeable difference between the two Camper albums is the overall feel—La Costa Perdida is more easygoing and gentle, while El Camino Real is darker and more intense, with a deep streak of paranoia that runs through songs like “The Ultimate Solution,” “It Was Like That When We Got Here” and “I Live In L.A.” Clearly, Lowery has very different views on the two halves of the state. “Yeah, but I like ’em both,” says Lowey. At the BottleRock festival in Napa May 30-June 1, Lowery’s bands will join an eclectic mix of five dozen other acts across four stages, including the Cure, OutKast, Weezer, LL Cool J, Robert Earl Keen, TV on the Radio and Smash Mouth. After recording their first album in Santa Cruz in 1985, CVB imploded on a European tour in 1990. But after reforming in the early 2000s, they’ve been back together now for over a decade. Part of the reason, Lowery says, is that they all agreed to do the band on a more part-time basis, or at least do fewer tours, which puts less pressure on them as a group. But maybe it’s even simpler than that. “Jonathan says it’s just because we’re not in our twenties,” says Lowery. “And it’s kind of true.” Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker play BottleRock Napa, which runs May 30-June 1 at the Napa Calley Expo, 575 Third St., Napa. Tickets are $149 for single-day passes, $279 for a three-day pass, at bottlerocknapavalley. com. 877-435-9849.

GOLD RECORD San Diego’s Little Hurricane play the Catalyst Thursday, in support of their sophomore album, ‘Gold Fever.’

Mine, All Mine BY BRIAN PALMER

W

hen listening to Gold Fever—the new album from San Diego duo Little Hurricane, who play the Catalyst on Thursday—there are moments when you cannot help but be transported back to California’s Gold Rush years. The album is rugged and raw, and the songs feel so earthy that you might expect dust to come out of your speakers. But the duo, made up of guitarist-vocalist Tone Catalano and drummer-vocalist CC Spina, didn’t achieve this sound through pure imagination—they went directly to the source. “We recorded the album in the

mountains, in a Gold Rush town,” says Catalano. “I didn’t want to go to a studio, because I’ve been in a lot of recording studios, and there was nothing new there. I wanted to go to a place where no one has recorded before.” That place was Julian, California, and the town left its mark on the album. “When I listen to the album, it takes me back to being in that gold mining town, sitting in that applepacking house, as we created those sounds,” adds Spina, “It’s cool we have this product that represents the time we spent there, and the town we recorded it in.”

Fever is an energetic affair. “Summer Air” is a hip-shaking rock track, while “Boiling Water” puts a bluesy spin on what might otherwise sound like your standard Americana song. “No Man’s Land” is the most blistering rock track on the album, featuring fuzzy, unhinged riffs on the choruses and alternately creepy and cacophonous drumming throughout. “That allowed us to really immerse ourselves in the process,” Catalano says, “as opposed to the first record, where we were kind of scattered, doing a few songs here, a few songs there.” “Also, being stuck in that place

Little Hurricane will perform at 9 p.m. Thursday, June 5, in the Atrium at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door. 423-1338.

Gold Rush town inspires Little Hurricane’s new album

without a TV or anything, it forced us to do nothing but focus on the songs,” Spina says, “so it gave us a lot of time to focus in on exactly how we wanted them to sound.” And so it was that Gold Fever’s 12 tracks emerged from the backdrop of their rural surroundings, rather than from any specific plans for how the album would sound. They wanted to get away and find a unique place to create the album, and to let the songs come to life on their own. Similarly, they came in without expectations for what the album’s content would be like. The resulting songs are organic and varied; emanating from the historic land, as well as out of the artists themselves. On the one hand, you have the fictional title track which attempts to visualize what it would have been like living during the Gold Rush—taking the opportunity to draw a parallel between our own money-driven society—but on the other hand, you have “Sorry Son,” which comes straight from Spina’s life experience, and has nothing to do with gold, really. “That one is written about my younger brother—who suffers from addiction, and goes in and out of being sober—from the viewpoint of my parents, and kind of telling their story,” she says. “That was an interesting way to go about songwriting, to view it from the viewpoint of someone who is close to us, rather than our own.” And while “Sorry Son”’s point of view is intriguing, creatively, it certainly was not an easy song to write. Sometimes artists write personal material simply as a way to exorcise demons, but in this case, Spina viewed it as a chance to help others as well. “There was a little bit of worry that [I was sharing something that] was too personal,” Spina admits. “But at the same time, I feel like those are the best kinds of songs, because if I’m going through it, then chances are that other people are going through it, too.”

ORIGINS OF HEALING Brant Secunda—a shaman, healer and ceremonial leader in the Huichol Indian tradition of Mexico—will give a public presentation on “Ancient Energy Medicine for the Modern World.” The presentation will focus on shamanism, which Secunda says is “the root of most modern healing modalities” because it is one of humans’ earliest forms of healing. Secunda’s teaching draws from 40 years he spent living with and studying the practices of the Huichol, a small tribe living in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico. They are said to be the last tribe in North America to have maintained their pre-Columbian traditions. The presentation will be followed by a ceremonial blessing.

SATURDAY 5/31 – SUNDAY 6/1 REDWOOD MOUNTAIN FAIRE The Redwood Mountain Faire is a slightly hidden cultural gem of Santa Cruz County. It’s big enough to attract great headliners, but small enough that it feels like a local community event, with kids running around with painted faces, friends grooving in the sun, and a mellow, hometown vibe. If the big festivals are a bit too much, but you want to get out among the people and get your groove and art appreciation on, this little festival might be just the thing. This year’s lineup boasts a stellar batch of musical talent. Among the many acts spread out over two days are Willie Nelson’s son Lukas Nelson and his band Promise of the Real; the Brooklyn-based funk outfit Pimps of Joytime; blues great Roy Rogers; local group Flor de Caña, playing Caribbean music, Cuban Son and Cumbia; bluegrass hot-pickers Hot Buttered Rum; reggae rockers Soul Majestic; local roots supergroup Sherry Austin and Henhouse; singer-songwriters John Cragie, and Keith Greeninger with Dayan Kai; gypsy rock outfit Diego’s Umbrella; psychedelic blues rockers Achilles Wheel; local rockabilly favorites the Chop Tops; and more. To be sure, the festival is jam-packed with great acts that span the genre spectrum. Vendors and art booths range from soaps, glass and woodworking, to beads, fiddles, jewelry and photography. And, if memory serves, there are snow cones—which was pretty much the greatest thing on a hot day of dancing and socializing. Info: 11 a.m., Saturday and Sunday at Roaring Camp, 5401 Graham Hill Road, Felton. General: $20 adv, $25 gate; senior/student: $15 adv, $20 gate; kids 12 and under: free; parking: $5.

LOCAL BAND

STEEP RAVINE When local folk and bluegrass quartet Steep Ravine prepared to record their debut full-length album, Trampin’ On, they wanted to make sure it was a very different experience than the one they had recording their first EP a few months earlier.

MAY 28-JUNE 3, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

“When we recorded our EP, we turned our bass player Alex Bice’s bedroom into a studio by stuffing jackets and socks into the corners and laying mattresses against the wall, and all we ate was tortilla chips for two days,” laughs guitarist and lead vocalist Simon Linsteadt. “For Trampin’ On, [we used] top-of-the-line recording equipment, were all separated by recording booths, and since we had a professional recording engineer taking care of all of the recording work, we were able to focus 100 percent on our playing and singing, since we knew we were in good hands.”

46

Anyone who has listened to their EP knows it is possessed of a charmingly simple aesthetic, but Trampin’ On—which was released last fall—certainly kicks things up a few notches, and shows that they were indeed in good hands with engineer Jacob Winik. The album proves Steep Ravine is interested in writing great songs, regardless of genre. “When compiling and arranging the all-original material for Trampin’ On, we weren’t really concerned with going in particular directions,” Linsteadt says. “Just by chance the material was diverse, and drew from jazz, bluegrass, folk, swing and pop. Our main concern was having the album flow naturally, so the songs made sense in succession.” BRIAN PALMER

11 a.m. Saturday, May 31. Redwood Mountain Faire at Roaring Camp, 5401 Graham Hill Road, Felton. Adults: $20/ adv, $25/door; Students/Seniors: $15/ adv, $20/door; children 12 and under: Free. 216-6535.

THURSDAY 5/29 BROTHER

It is safe to say that these guys have had quite the career. Formed over two decades ago in Australia, this Celtic rock trio has released over a dozen studio and live albums, have had their music played on TV shows like ER and The Twilight Zone, and are the only indie band to have ever played at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Mixing the guitar with bagpipes, tribal percussion and the didgeridoo, this band creates an energetic, pulse-pounding live show that will have you moving in no time. BRIAN PALMER 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Highway 9, Felton. $10. 603-2294.

FRIDAY 5/30

NEIL YOUNG TRIBUTE The Wheel Company has gotten really good at putting on tribute shows for some of rock’s biggest acts. They’ve rounded up artists to pay tribute to Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and now, Neil Young, whose catalog is wellknown enough that it should make

for a fine sing-along, but deep enough that there could be some underexposed gems showcased. Among the artists joining forces for this one are Tammi Brown, the Coffis Brothers, Pat Nevins, Jessica Marks, Bear Dyken, Somer Moon and more. CAT JOHNSON 8 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 427-2227.

MARTY O'REILLY AND THE OLD SOUL ORCHESTRA A disciple of Delta blues greats like Charlie Patton and Blind Willie Johnson, Marty O'Reilly is a soulful singer-songwriter who incorporates blues sounds and subjects into his style. But he also leans into folk territory, incorporating elements of last-century underground heroes John Fahey and Nick Drake with melancholy tones and sparse-yet-engaging instrumentation. Though the divide between early blues and deep folk music isn't terribly wide, O'Reilly nonetheless bridges it in unique and reverent fashion. Also on the bill: Rainbow Girls and Run Boy Run. CJ 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $9/adv, $12/door. 479-1854.

SATURDAY 5/31

JUG BAND FEST Is there any other genre besides jug band music that makes such good use of washboards, gut buckets, spoons, kazoos and, uh, jugs? As the ramshackle instrumentation suggests, the Amazing Dr. Zarcon’s Breathing Machine, who are longtime jug aficionados, have a fun whimsical sound (and boast 10, sometimes more, members). But these guys are students of the jug band sound, which dates back to rural America as early as the ‘20s, and bring an authenticity to their songs, as well as some prominent jazz and blues influences. They headline the Jug Band Fest at the Crepe Place, along with Jailhouse String Band and Club Zayante Jug Stompers. The evening is dedicated to Santa Cruz’s late great “Boogie” Bruce Engelhardt. AARON CARNES 9 p.m. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994

BE OUR GUEST ¡FIESTA! A CELEBRATION OF LATIN CLASSICAL MUSIC On Saturday, June 7, the Civic Auditorium will be transformed into a hub of Latin classical music and traditional dance, all to benefit the symphony's music and education programs. Featuring our Grammy-nominated neighbors to the north, the Quartet San Francisco; 14-year-old classical guitar prodigy Roberto Granados; and Sandor & Parissa, two of the hot-steppers from Dancing with the Stars, the evening promises to be a dress-twirling, heelstomping good time. CJ

8:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 603-2294.

SUNDAY 6/1

TECH N9NE Rapper Tech N9ne has made a solid career out of doing things his way. Independent through and through, he’s released over a dozen full-length albums and EPs, has collaborated with artists ranging from Busta Rhymes to Kendrick Lamar to the Deftones, and has seen multiple releases debut in Billboard’s Top 10. Not too shabby for an artist with a serious aversion to mainstream label support. A dynamic wordsmith with a penchant for rapping with the quickness of a TEC-9 (obvi), Tech N9ne has proven there

are few in the game who can match his style and flow. BP 8 p.m. The Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $30/adv, $35/door. 423-1338.

GLEN DAVID ANDREWS One of New Orleans’ most prominent trombonists, Glen David Andrews will be making his first appearance in Santa Cruz with this show. Known for his electric style of play and charisma on stage, Andrews will be premiering his just-released album, Redemption, which is a revealing, soul-searching look into the life of a man who has battled demons—including drug addiction—and come out better because of it. Andrews marries his trombone with alternately joyous and tragic stories in a way that is nothing short of mesmerizing. BP 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 479-1854.

MONDAY 6/2

OZ NOY TRIO Over the course of nearly a decade, guitarist Oz Noy has done all he can to defy expectations. He describes his music thusly: “It’s jazz. It just doesn’t

sound like it.” Anyone who has listened to his track “Steroids,” for example, will know this to be true, as the jazzy rhythms and clever time changes are anchored down by a sound that is every bit as much jazz as it is blues, funk and rock ‘n’ roll. And there’s a lot more where that came from in his genre-bending discography. BP 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/adv, $30/door. 427-2227.

WEDNESDAY 6/4

MAN OVERBOARD Not every band has a motto, but New Jersey’s Man Overboard’s is “Defend Pop Punk,” which is fitting since their style isn’t as popular as it was a decade ago. The quintet plays punk rock with punchy guitars, upbeat hooks, and a radio-friendly polish, singing a lot about girls. It harkens back to the early 2000’s emo/pop-punk boom, with bands like Jimmy Eat World, MxPx, the Ataris, New Found Glory, and of course Blink-182. In fact, Man Overboard loves Blink so much, they named their band after one of their songs. AC 7:30 p.m. The Catalyst Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 423-1336.

INFO: 8 p.m. Saturday, June 7. Civic Auditorium, 307 Church St., Santa Cruz. $30-$70. 420-5240. WANT TO GO? Go to santacruz.com/giveaways before 11 a.m. on Friday, May 30, to find out how you could win a pair of tickets to the show.

crazy, as every kid with a guitar on Haight Street knows "Truckin'” and "Friend of the Devil." Stu Allen, however, is one of the faithful who provides plenty of signal. A singer-guitarist who played with Melvin Seals and JGB, Allen and his rotating band of capable sidemen capture the spirit and sound of the Dead with clarity and heart. Saturday’s performance is the official after-party of the Redwood Mountain Faire. CJ

AWKWARD FAMILY PORTRAITS The other mutants were too embarrassed to tell Xavier he had a giant X on his face.

Strangers Out of Time MAY 28-JUNE 3, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ doesn’t play fair with its mutants | BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

52

I

t’s just not the same, the fifth time around. Merging the plot of Chris Marker’s La Jetee with the adventures of the usual gang of mutants, X-Men: Days of Future Past continues the unresolvable debate over minority acceptance, between the anxious liberal Charles Xavier and the radical Magneto. Director Bryan Singer creates a temporally and physically sprawling blockbuster, vivid in action segments, strangely remote in the intimate moments. It’s wrong, somehow, to get two great Shakespeareans like Ian McKellan (the old Magneto) and Patrick Stewart (the frustratingly benign Xavier) to await the end of the world together, and then give them nothing Shakespearean to say about it. Strange also that Magneto, or rather the ever-saturnine McKellan,

doesn’t see the ironic humor in it—it turned out he was right all along about the suicidal evil of the humans. In a dark future of gutted skyscrapers and blowing ash, most of humanity and nearly all of the mutants have been incinerated by Sentinels—world-purifying killbots with blank, scaly faces that unfold into blast furnaces. Magneto, Xavier and the last of the X-Men hole up in a Tibetan monastery. They decide to use the physicist Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) back to 1973. That was when the Nixon administration ordered the development of the Sentinels by robotics scientist Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage). What sealed the development was Trask’s assassination in Paris at the hands of the shapeshifter known as Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence). Editor/composer John Ottman

sends the material hurling forward with a soundtrack that recalls John Barry, Ennio Morricone and a bit of Brian Eno. But the film stumbles over the relations of the six or so main characters. The rivalry between Xavier and Magneto is vague: it’s like Singer would like them to be spurned lovers, bad friends, rivals in love and estranged relatives all at the same time. They argue over their influence molding Mystique—“you didn’t raise her, you lived with her,” Magneto snaps—and then you see Jennifer Lawrence, who looks like she never needed molding from any man. When past and present are contrasted—as they weren’t in the first prequel— it’s tough to see how McAvoy and Fassbender aged to become so grand and theatrical. X-Men: Days of Future Past also doesn’t seem to have a grasp on the

paranoia of the 1970s. The era seems to be all about the clothes and the soul music, not that Jackman doesn’t look funky in a brown leather jacket and a wide-collared polyester shirt. Nixon is introduced with a good old silent-comedy joke—we see his office staff lined up eagerly, and then we cut to his three dogs, also lined up and panting for attention. There’s no sense of the panic or terror Nixon inspired, as there was in Watchmen. As played by Mark Camacho, he’s a pudgy, archaic joke. Similar poor history turns up in the Paris Peace Accords scenes—they didn’t represent the end of the Vietnam War, only a new stage in it. The event is there to give Trask the Donald Rumsfeld role—to use the occasion of the loss of a war to sell arms for the next one. The previews can make a longtime mutant fan misty—they’re edited for conflict and poignancy, and Fassbender’s Magneto hovering over Washington, D.C. is an intimidating sight. But seen in 3D, the film is visually sooty, and the movie doesn’t have the end-of-the-trail sadness you can expect. Things that really hurt happen to characters that longtimers care about. Lawrence’s Mystique, in all the ash-blonde, baby-faced pre-morality of her chosen form, in floppy Carly Simon hat and maxiskirt, is as serious a femme fatale as the movies have had recently, and yet she emotes neurotic fragility. She’s suddenly exposed, screaming, in her true form in front of a wave of photographers. Wolverine is bound in construction rebar and hurled into the sky. But there’s no time to follow these characters, or to feel their panic, because it’s time to cut to the posse attacking the cornered X-Men in the future, to watch more flame-throwing. It’ll drive all the thoughts out of your head for two hours, but ultimately all you can feel is the pressure as it tries to break your heart. X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST With Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Ian McKellan and Michael Fassbender. Written by Simon Kinberg. Directed by Bryan Singer. Rated PG-13. 131 minutes.

n a particularly warm late afternoon, a friend came over for a visit and I opened up a Clos LaChance Chardonnay, which is just the ticket to enjoy over a chat – along with some good cheese and crackers. An upbeat, refreshing wine, this Chardonnay is full of tropical fruit—pineapple, banana and pear— with a flinty mineral finish. Fresh pineapple is a dominant flavor, adding a bright pizzazz to this coolclimate Chard. Fermented and aged sur lie (a French expression meaning the wine is bottled without filtering the yeasty sentiment) in French oak barrels for 10 months, it has a lovely rich mouthfeel, resulting from the expertise of our friends, the Gallic coopers. All the grapes for this 2010 Chardonnay ($22) were grown in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and handpicked and hand-sorted. One of the food pairings the winery suggests is with roast chicken with tangerines, but since I didn’t have time to whip that up when my friend arrived, a zesty piece of cheese will do just as well. Clos LaChance Winery is in the most beautiful setting—the building that houses the tasting room is stunning, and the surrounding grounds are perfect for picnics, weddings and more. There’s a bocce ball court, too, and the tasting room is open daily.

arbeque is the subject of much passion and debate. How does one best smoke meat? How long should it smoke? Mission St. BBQ is the latest barbeque joint in town, but the owners aren’t new to the game. They’ve been at it about a decade with their other establishments: Aptos Street BBQ, BBQ 152 in Gilroy, Trail Dust BBQ in Morgan Hill, and Salinas City BBQ. We interviewed co-owner Eric Ingram about the latest member of the BBQ family, and their first in Santa Cruz.

GOOD TIMES: BBQ fans really get invested in how the meat is cooked. What can you tell me about your cooking process?

1066 41st Ave., (Across from O’Neill) Capitola, CA 95010 (831) 854-2225

ERIC INGRAM: We have a custombuilt smoker. We use Oakwood from here in California. We use our own rubs. We smoke our meats for about 5-6 hours—low and slow for several hours. Depending on the rub, you go hot, sweet or just bold. Or, if you wanted just the meat, you can go salt and pepper. That’s more along the lines of the Texas style. Our whole menu is a pulled from different regions: the Carolina-style pulled pork. The St. Louis-style ribs. And

the tri-tip obviously is something that California is known for. The style, as far as the smokers we use, they’re offset stick burners, the most common thing you’d see in Texas, so we lean more towards the Texas style.

What are the differences between your different BBQ restaurants? The flavor profiles are the same, but each smoker cooks differently. Each cook is going to be a little different. That’s BBQ. Inconsistencies come with the territory. In terms of menu items, we did price it a little lower for the students. We try to be conscious of who our customer base might be. We added sliders, which is new.

In addition to your already big “normal” portions, you serve “large” orders. Just how big is your large? The larges are almost double what you’re getting with the regulars. The regulars are going to be 6 oz. of meat, the larges will be 10. That’s a big sandwich. We don’t load it up with lettuce or a bunch of other stuff. It’s meat and bread. Mission St. BBQ is located at 1618 Mission St., Santa Cruz, 458-2222.

ASTROLOGY

GEMINI: A LINE OF LIGHT BEAMS

Esoteric Astrology as news for week May 29 – June 4, 2014 We’re half way through 2014, which always occurs in Gemini, sign of duality and the two brothers, Castor and Pollux, (one dimming, one growing in light, signifying personality and Soul lights). Each of the 12signs provides humanity with a distinctly different light (message), revealing twelve personality-Soul interactions. Gemini, a line of light beams, has the task of illuminating dualities, which produces tension, which produces conflict, which seeks harmony. The conflict (purposeful) is from Mercury, star of conflict. Venus then steps in, harmonizing the conflict. Duality in our world is everywhere–light/ dark, up/down, day/night, male/female, right/ wrong, etc. It is purposeful, revealing the ultimate duality of spirit (father) and matter (mother).

ARIES Mar21–Apr20 Whatever you value—physical, emotional, mental, spiritual–begin envisioning them into manifestation. The last months have been about planning. Now, till June 7, begin to envision their appearance, negotiating and cooperating with others. As you define your plans and goals, you also define values. It’s good for everyone to know where you stand. Business activities are important. Life seems more elaborate. Elaborate more.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 In the shower, around water, while driving, talking or walking, a waterfall of thoughts flows into your mind, to be instantly forgotten. They’re not lost, however. They’re embedding themselves into your imagination for later use. Others see you as constantly changing while standing still. You’re doing deep inner work not seen by many. New projects are impressed upon your mind for humanity’s welfare. Few understand.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 As more self-awareness unfolds, there’s less ability to adapt to previous ideas and ways of being. Gradually you form new alliances and realities influenced by the new Aquarian Laws and Principles. You move here and there, between old and new, ’til the more inclusive Aquarian principles anchor. Tend to the earth (Ray 3) and her kingdoms all around you. It’s your spiritual Venusian task helping in your new becoming.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

+ + + RISA’S

STARS

Gemini provides us with the conscious awareness (light) of that relationship. Gemini’s activities and communication personify duality, leading to conflict. It’s their task. Gemini’s mutable air produces BY RISA D’ANGELES constant change, movement, fluctuations and new experiences within relationships. When we perceive duality, we are able to make choices. When in a constant state of unrest, we seek harmony. During Gemini, we see changes, mutations, adjustments. Everything’s fluid. Gemini, with Mercury, builds the Antakarana (Sanskrit), Rainbow Bridge of Light from the personality to the soul. A great work occurs in Gemini. We are all the two brothers during Gemini. It’s in Gemini that we first begin to choose. the family occurred throughout your life. You made choices years ago that affected relations with family. Are those choices still in effect? Who is your family now? You reflect upon these thoughts both as a child within a family and as an adult creating your own family. What resources from childhood do you bring to your adulthood? Has gratitude found you yet?

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 The past month’s planets have brought a focus on selfesteem, childhood issues, communication, religion and their nurturing effect. What thoughts came forth, what wounds surfaced, what dissolved, what became larger than life, and how did these affect you? The past weeks have been difficult, altering your life in some way. Now there will be a drive toward new relationships. Do not be irritable, angry or pushy. Be constant, kind and patient— like Taurus, your sustaining shadow-self.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 If I write about giving, what do you immediately think about? It’s the most powerful of all actions, creating a magnetic force field directing us toward others, and directly into our future. When giving to others in small ways and large, a great love encompasses us. Alchemy happens, actually. We become free, liberated. When we give, we are then given to. It takes a great and courageous spirit to do this. Quite like your spirit, hiding.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 The ways you’ve handled money and resources has been good. However, a change now occurring in the use of money and resources will make you more aware of monetary inflow and outflow, so you can better save and prepare for the future, and adjust to coming times in ecological, innovative, informed and sustained ways. This is what “permaculture” means, as it defines and organizes natural systems. What would it mean to be a “permaculture family system?”

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

As the past continues to be present, consider it a gift allowing you to remember, forgive and release many behaviors with which, in retrospect, you may not be happy. Here’s a way to redo and correct the past, bringing love to all interactions: when an event/ interaction is remembered, redo it by re-visualizing what should have occurred. Healing in your heart then occurs—forgiveness, too—and the past is over.

Scorpio’s questions are also for you. They define past weeks and coming times which will bring forth transformations. Ask yourself what is wounding you, what feels vulnerable, what issues are you concerned with, what in your life needs care, tending and healing, what’s almost too much to handle and what’s dissolving. Know that many in your life stand with you. Answering these questions, pondering them, clarifies your present life. We love you.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 First read Leo for healing and release from past wounds. All becomes forgiven. Consider all relationships, asking yourself how they’ve changed in the past seven years. In what ways did you create that change, and in what ways have you changed through these encounters? A new internal sevenyear cycle of change begins. You will be different than before. Standing on a higher level of the spiral of life.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 Family affects you profoundly. Very deep changes within

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 A life event will occur that bridges the past with the present and future, creating within you a new self-identity and a new and better way to care for yourself while helping and serving others. You continue to need extra care, rest and tending amidst solitude. A wound slowly heals; something is taken away so that a new, greater, more loving presence comes forth. Mantrams are a sustaining solace. Here is one to recite: “The joy of the divine self is my strength. At the center of all love I stand.”

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | MAY 28-JUNE 3, 2014

If you observe carefully, you discover your mind restructuring itself, gaining new dimensions, creating new understandings of self and others. What you feared before is replaced with preparation for times to come. You’re aware of the changes accelerating daily in the world. No longer in resistance, you now cooperate with those changes. Spirit comes into matter (mater, mother) through you and your garden.
