ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of June 18
ARIES Mar21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Apr19
LIBRA Sep23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct22
If you were alive 150 years ago and needed to get a tooth extracted, you might have called on a barber or blacksmith or wigmaker to do the job. (Dentistry didn't become a formal occupation until the latter part of the 19th century.) Today, you wouldn't dream of seeking anyone but a specialist to attend to the health of your mouth. But I'm wondering if you are being less particular about certain other matters concerning your welfare. Have you been seeking financial advice from your massage therapist? Spiritual counsel from your car repair person? Nutritional guidance from a fast-food addict? I suggest you avoid such behavior. It's time to ask for specific help from those who can actually provide it.
In accordance with the astrological omens, you are hereby granted a brief, one-time-only license to commit the Seven Deadly Sins. You heard me correctly, Libra. As long as you don't go to extremes, feel free to express healthy amounts of pride, greed, laziness, gluttony, anger, envy, and lust. At least for now, there will be relatively little hell to pay for these indulgences. Just one caveat: If I were you, I wouldn't invest a lot of energy in anger and envy. Technically, they are permitted, but they aren't really much fun. On the other hand, greed, gluttony, and lust could be quite pleasurable, especially if you don't take yourself too seriously. Pride and laziness may also be enjoyable in moderate, artful amounts.
TAURUS Apr20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May20 â&#x20AC;&#x153;My music is best understood by children and animals,â&#x20AC;? said composer Igor Stravinsky. A similar statement could be made about you Tauruses in the coming weeks: You will be best understood by children and animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and by all others who have a capacity for dynamic innocence and a buoyant curiosity rooted in emotional intelligence. In fact, those are the types I advise you to surround yourself with. For now, it's best to avoid sophisticates who overthink everything and know-it-all cynics whose default mode is criticism. Take control of what influences you. You need to be in the presence of those who help activate your vitality and enthusiasm.
GEMINI May21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June20 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nikhedoniaâ&#x20AC;? is an obscure English word that refers to the pleasure that comes from anticipating success or good fortune. There's nothing wrong with indulging in this emotion as long as it doesn't interfere with you actually doing the work that will lead to success or good fortune. But the problem is, nikhedonia makes some people lazy. Having experienced the thrill of imagining their victory, they find it hard to buckle down and slog through the gritty details necessary to manifest their victory. Don't be like that. Enjoy your nikhedonia, then go and complete the accomplishment that will bring a second, even stronger wave of gratification.
CANCER Jun21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jul22 Boston's Museum of Fine Arts has a collection of Japanese art that is never on display. It consists of 6,600 wood-block prints created by artists of the ukiyo-e school, also known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;pictures of the floating world.â&#x20AC;? Some are more than 300 years old. They are tucked away in drawers and hidden from the light, ensuring that their vibrant colors won't fade. So they are well-preserved but rarely seen by anyone. Is there anything about you that resembles these pictures of the floating world, Cancerian? Do you keep parts of you secret, protecting them from what might happen if you show them to the world? It may be time to revise that policy. (Thanks to Molly Oldfield's The Secret Museum for the info referred to here.)

SCORPIO Oct23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov21 Scorpio novelist Kurt Vonnegut rebelled against literary traditions. His stories were often hybrids of science fiction and autobiography. Free-form philosophizing blended with satirical moral commentary. He could be cynical yet playful, and he told a lot of jokes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over,â&#x20AC;? he testified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see from the center.â&#x20AC;? He's your role model for the next four weeks, Scorpio. Your challenge will be to wander as far as you can into the frontier without getting hopelessly lost.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec21 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make a name for the dark parts of you,â&#x20AC;? writes Lisa Marie Basile in her poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paz.â&#x20AC;? I think that's good advice for you, Sagittarius. The imminent future will be an excellent time to fully acknowledge the shadowy aspects of your nature. More than that, it will be a perfect moment to converse with them, get to know them better, and identify their redeeming features. I suspect you will find that just because they are dark doesn't mean they are bad or shameful. If you approach them with love and tenderness, they may even reveal their secret genius.
CAPRICORN Dec22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan19 Pet mice that are kept in cages need to move more than their enclosed space allows, so their owners often provide them with exercise wheels. If the rodents want to exert their natural instinct to run around, they've got to do it on this device. But here's a curious twist: a team of Dutch researchers has discovered that wild mice also enjoy using exercise wheels. The creatures have all the room to roam they need, but when they come upon the wheels in the middle of the forest, they hop on and go for prolonged spins. I suggest you avoid behavior like that, Capricorn. Sometime soon you will find yourself rambling through more spacious places. When that happens, don't act like you do when your freedom is more limited.
AQUARIUS Jan20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb18
In the next two weeks, I hope you don't fall prey to the craze that has been sweeping Japan. Over 40,000 people have bought books that feature the photos of hamuketsu, or hamster bottoms. Even if you do manage to avoid being consumed by that particular madness, I'm afraid you might get caught up in trifles and distractions that are equally irrelevant to your long-term dreams. Here's what I suggest: To counteract any tendency you might have to neglect what's truly important, vow to focus intensely on what's truly important.
It's transition time. We will soon see how skilled you are at following through. The innovations you have launched in recent weeks need to be fleshed out. The creativity you unleashed must get the full backing of your practical action. You will be asked to make good on the promises you made or even implied. I want to urge you not to get your feelings hurt if some pruning and editing are required. In fact, I suggest you relish the opportunity to translate fuzzy ideals into tidy structures. Practicing the art of ingenious limitation will make everything better.
VIRGO Aug23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sep22
PISCES Feb19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Mar20
Writing at FastCompany.com, Himanshu Saxena suggests that businesses create a new position: Chief Paradox Officer, or CPXO. This person would be responsible for making good use of the conflicts and contradictions that normally arise, treating them as opportunities for growth rather than as distractions. From my astrological perspective, you Virgos are currently prime candidates to serve in this capacity. You will continue to have special powers to do this type of work for months to come.
It's always important for you to shield yourself against our culture's superficial and sexist ideas about sex. It's always important for you to cultivate your own unique and soulful understandings about sex. But right now this is even more crucial than usual. You are headed into a phase when you will have the potential to clarify and deepen your relationship with eros. In ways you have not previously imagined, you can learn to harness your libido to serve both your spiritual aspirations and your quest for greater intimacy.

HUMAN RITES Brant Secunda is a shaman and founder of Dance of the Deer Foundation, which leads spiritual retreats
around the globe, and works to preserve the cultural traditions of the Huichol Indians.
Deer Diary
B
efore the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, more than 10,000 people lived on California’s coast between Big Sur and San Francisco. Dating back some 15,000 years, the Ohlone, as we call them today, wove baskets and traded abalone shells, hides, fish, and the brilliant red pigment made from cinnabar, which they quarried in Santa Clara County. Sadly, our knowledge of these early Santa Cruzans doesn’t extend very deeply beyond the physical artifacts
they left behind. As we surf their former fishing waters and careen down the roads paved over their burial grounds, the legacy of Ohlone cosmology remains largely a mystery. But for shaman and healer Brant Secunda, the spiritual bond our ancestors had with Earth is crucial— not only to the future of our planet, but to our own physical health. And if anyone can make this claim, it’s him. At the age of 18, Secunda forged a relationship with the Huichol Indians, the last tribe in North America to have maintained their
pre-Columbian traditions, thanks in part to their location deep in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico. “I thought I was going there to learn how to make pottery,” says Secunda, who nearly died of dehydration on his solo five-day trek to find the Huichols. The now 61-year-old Secunda believes he would have perished if the shaman Don José Matsuwa had not dreamt of his distress and sent villagers to find him. “When I got there,” he says, “the Huichols said ‘well, you’re about 50 years too late"—to

make pottery, that is. Though their clay craft had faded with the times, the ancient healing traditions the Huichol people are known for had not, and the self-proclaimed “wild New Yorker” began to soak them up. He embarked on a 12-year shamanic apprenticeship under Matsuwa, which began with a five-day fast from food and water. It was a radical rite of passage that would turn into a lifelong devotion, and when Matsuwa died at the age of 110, it was Secunda, his adopted grandson, that he named as his replacement. “The goal of Huichol shamanism is to complete yourself as a human being; to become a whole person, not a fragmented person,” says Secunda, his blue eyes sparking. Secunda teaches the daily rituals that encourage positive dreams, and how to connect to the spirit of nature through sacred dances, watching the sun rise and set, and going on pilgrimages to healing places: the rivers, caves and mountain peaks that seem to throb with the life force, which the Huichols call “kupuri.” “There is a special energy here,” Secunda says of Santa Cruz, his home base when he’s not traveling to teach shamanic workshops. Like in Chinese medicine, the Huichol shaman works with the source of the illness, and tries to bring a person into balance and harmony. But Secunda, who performs healing ceremonies on cancer patients, doesn’t claim direct responsibility: “We say that no human being can really heal,” says Secunda. “We work with the energy of the person. But only the spirit can really heal. So in our case, we send the deer into the body, visualize the deer going into the body of the patient, and the deer does the healing, on behalf of the shaman.” The deer is the most sacred of animals for the Huichols, the symbol for the heart, intuition, and higher self, says Secunda, He founded the Dance of the Deer Foundation to help preserve the cultural traditions of the Huichol Indians in Mexico.

ART ATTACK Beach Flats residents vent over the loss of a mural, but is the city to blame?
JUNE 18--24, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
BY AARON CARNES

First installed 21 years ago, the Beach Flats Community Mural featured snapshots of Latino families, and a balance between everyday life and the surreal. Two weeks ago, the mural was painted over by the city of Santa Cruz, with plans to have a different one installed in its place a week later. But today, those plans are at a standstill. While city staff say they went above and beyond the call of duty to work with the community, neighborhood residents like Reyna Ruiz, former director at the Beach Flats Community Center, are expressing frustration over the loss of their mural, and say they felt out of the loop in the decision-making process. It’s unclear at this point when the communication breakdown happened, or where to go from here. “I thought that the neighborhood would have been invited to that conversation about their public space and about the mural that was there, because it’s not just a decoration on a wall,” says Ruiz. “The neighborhood as a whole never had an opportunity in a public forum to even talk about that first question—what do you want to do with the mural?” Shortly before the mural got painted over, Ruiz made several frustrated Facebook posts about the art piece she loved. Her posts created a groundswell of concern culminating in a weekend meeting at Beach Flats Park with residents, two city councilmembers and city manager Martín Bernal. The sudden opposition blindsided city staff. City spokesperson Keith Sterling says the city tried to make the community part of the discussion and had put out fliers in the neighborhood a year ago, informing the residents that workers would be painting a new mural over the old one. They received no opposition from residents at the time. “Anytime there’s going to be a significant change like this, we >16

Saving West Cliff Santa Cruz engineers hope an innovative approach will stop Westside sinkholes BY ARIC SLEEPER
F
or years, Santa Cruz has defended itself from the ocean’s power with shields of armored rock, mending holes in the collapsing bedrock with riprap—boulders of varying size. But in the ceaseless battle between the city and the sea, Mother Nature has gained some more ground—or more accurately, taken it away. Our most recent problem is a sinkhole, 15 feet wide and 28 feet deep, at the rear of an 88-foot-long cave that runs parallel to West Cliff Drive. Located between Woodrow and Columbia streets, the sinkhole is the fourth in a series of problems that has plagued the location for decades. The most recent crumble happened on March 1, just in front of
the last repair—a 2009 fill-in of the third sinkhole in the last 27 years. On March 1, a combination of high tide and high surf surged through the sea cave and up the ramp of riprap left from previous fill-ins, causing the bedrock to collapse along with the soil above it, according to Rodney Cahill of MesitiMiller Engineering. “The high-energy wave environment scoured the last piece of critical material from the roof of the sea cave, causing a collapse of the cave,” says Cahill. “And then subsequent wave activity removed the loose soils and smaller rock from previous repairs.” This particular ocean cave near Woodrow also happens to lie on
a fault line—another factor in its continual collapse over the years. Abandoning the conventional riprap countermeasures, city staff, with the help of Cahill and other engineers and geologists, have devised a new plan utilizing concrete to plug the sinkhole, along with a curved wall within the cave that will minimize wave damage. Workers will work on the hole from above and below, resulting in some street closures on West Cliff Drive. “This is a different approach, a more long-term fix for this specific location, so that it doesn’t continue under the road, and weaken the road,” said Mark Dettle, director of Santa Cruz Public Works, at a recent city council meeting. >14

IN NATURE’S WAKE <12 “We’re trying to work with Mother Nature. You’re not going to be able to win. She wins in the long-term, but we’re trying to slow it down.” Vice Mayor Don Lane approves of the innovative solution, but fears that the possibility of rising sea levels as a result of climate change could lead to more collapses in the coming years. “I hope that we’re just lucky enough to keep West Cliff Drive as it is for the foreseeable future,” says Lane, “but the reality is, in the decades out, I think West Cliff will be vulnerable to losing some of its footprint.”

THE BLUEPRINT
14
Cahill and others at MesitiMiller surveyed the sea cave with consultants from Zinn Geology. Cahill, who also worked on the seawall for Jack O’Neill’s East Cliff Drive home, created the specifications for a curved wall—a unique design that has never been used before. At a total cost of $250,000, the city contracted Monterey Peninsula Engineering to fill the sinkhole and build the curved wall, which serves as a shield for the concrete plug behind it. But the engineers found that the specifications they had outlined in March were obsolete before construction began. “We actually found that the sinkhole had enlarged during the period of time from the initial survey in March to the current construction,” says Cahill. “We had to take new measurements and update the map so that we could modify the repair to complete the construction.” Once construction did begin on June 3, the first step was to remove the sand that had washed up inside of the cave. Workers then placed sandbags at the 20-foot tall mouth of the cave, creating a berm to block waves from entering the construction site. The crew will pump concrete grout inside the cave, solidifying the existing boulders from previous repairs. Next, working from the surface of West Cliff Drive, they will
fill the sinkhole with concrete up to about 10 feet below street level. Workers will also place soil over the concrete plug for the remaining 10 feet, to match the terrace deposits that surround it. To build the new curved wall, the construction crew will first use dry concrete to create a flat wall approximately 35 feet into the cave, and then disperse concrete from a high-pressure hose to shape the ocean-facing curve. The wall will come inward at the center and curve outward at its top and bottom, to repel the waves back toward the ocean.
SEA CHANGES While construction is under way, West Cliff Drive will be closed from Columbia Street to Woodrow Avenue, but will be open in the evenings and on weekends when no construction is being done. If all goes according to plan, meaning no large storms or
unintentional collapses occur during the sinkhole repair, the process will be completed before Fourth of July weekend, according to project manager Steve Wolfman, associate civil engineer for the city’s Public Works Department. As for the future of the plug and the curved wall, Wolfman and the other engineers involved in the repair foresee the concrete lasting far beyond the lifespan of previous riprap fills, and it may in fact hold up longer than the surrounding bluffs, which according to Zinn Geology are eroding at a rate of about 1 foot per year. This means that the sea cave may no longer be a cave in the future, and the artificial curved wall, which will essentially be hidden inside the hollow once it is completed, may one day be exposed. Vice Mayor Lane hopes this project is not just a temporary fix and feels the city needs to develop
CHOOSING THE LADDER A new plan for the sinkhole involves a wall inside the cave. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER
a long-term plan for the eventual fate of West Cliff Drive. “I hope that it works in a more lasting way,” says Lane. “I can’t say that I’m confident in the long, longterm because I think that it’s just such a vulnerable place where the power of the ocean usually wins.”
NEWS BRIEFS SIZE MATTERS Where were the campaign commercials for the June 3 election? Not on Santa Cruz televisions, that’s for sure. And the reason appears to be that our local TV market is too big, extending down to Monterey County and well into the Central Coast, with 220,000 total homes, according to Nielsen Holdings as of 2012. That means that in a small election, it usually isn’t worth a campaigner’s money to cover so much ground over the airwaves— even at the county level, longtime campaign manager Bruce Van Allen tells GT via email. “The broadcast market regions are far larger than our city or even county jurisdictions, so the ads go to lots of viewers who can't vote in the race being advertised,” writes Van Allen, a former Santa Cruz mayor who recently declared his candidacy for City Council.
Okay, so who needs commercials anyway? Without them, candidates have more incentive to chat up voters in person, and take forums seriously. But the wide reaches of our TV markets might also explain why we don’t see much pre-election polling, which, in other regions, is often done by TV stations. “Its’ a very expensive proposition to spend that kind of money on one small town, for one small issue,” KSBW news director Lawton Dodd says. Dodd says he’s no fan of election polling, anyway. “I’m not sure the public is served well when you see a poll every day,” he adds. “It’s a way of keeping score when you want to see the results before the election’s complete. They just tell you the way things are today and not where they’re going to be, and they might keep people away from the polls.”
CAMP OUT What’s in a name? Often some unnecessary political baggage, according to Brent Adams, the architect behind Santa Cruz Sanctuary Village—formerly known as Santa Cruz Sanctuary Camp. Adams changed the name of his proposed housing encampment for the homeless because “camp” sounds more rundown and transitory. The newest plan is to create a gated pilot camp with tents, as well as a separate “village” site with cabins and very low rent, Adams explained downtown at his recent tent sidewalk party to raise awareness about his plan. Adams, whose proposed Super Massive Slumber Party event for April was denied clearance, had a few setbacks with this June 14 tabling session on the corner of Pacific Avenue and Cooper Street, because he
didn’t get permits for the bringyour-own-tent event. No matter, Adams decided, and changed the event on Facebook to happen at Abbott Square instead. But Nina Simon, director of the Museum of Art and History, which manages the square, countered that Adams couldn’t host an event there either without permits or notice. The city’s event staff then said he could hold the event on Pacific after all, but he would be responsible for the plastic table as his “display device.” Each of his four co-organizers would be responsible for a tent. “We want people to go, ‘Are people camping here tonight?’ ‘No, we’re in solidarity with the homeless people,’” Adams said, as the organizers broke down the table and tents at the end of the day. “It’s more of a conversation starter, but to be honest, I don’t know if the tents did anything.” JACOB PIERCE

want people to know about it,” says Sterling. “We take steps to try and reach as many people as we can. That’s what we do. It’s always hard to reach everyone. But we did do the fliers.” Ruiz does not recall any outreach efforts a year ago, and says residents she’s spoken with don’t either. She was aware that something needed to happen with the mural—it was in disrepair—but she figured the city would hold a public forum before making any final decisions. “The way this mural came to be, there was a big ceremony to welcome it,” says Ruiz, who now works as program director for Barrios Unidos. “There wasn’t even any goodbye. The important thing about
that mural is that it is a work of art that has Latino content in a public space. I didn’t think it would ever get taken away. [These are] the kind of things you take for granted.” The new mural’s artist, Mariah Roberts, feels stuck in the middle. She had collaborated with about 100 members of the Beach Flats neighborhood—a lot of them children—to design the new mural, which is already finished and ready to install. Now she is trying to stay out of the fray and just wants staff and residents to sort everything out before they use her mural—assuming using her mural is even what people want at this point. She does hope her piece finds a home somewhere in the Beach Flats.
“I believe public space and public art can offer opportunity, no matter how difficult, to have necessary public conversation,” Roberts wrote in an email to the city council and arts commission. “I am hopeful that we can find common ground where all feel respected, reflected and involved.” Sterling, who began working for the city last month, says the reason staff did not preserve the original mural was that the grant they received from the Mural Matching Grant Program only supported installing a new mural—not fixing an existing one—and the artist has to be on its approved list, as Roberts is. “There are no closed doors, no final decisions. We want to make sure the community is fully engaged and on board
with what we’re doing,” says Sterling. “I think when they see the outreach that’s been done, we’re hoping that they’ll see that we really have made an effort. If they have more concerns and they want us to re-evaluate, we’re certainly going to listen to that to see what we can do within the restraints of the funding grant that we have. This is something we intend to be in the community for a very long time.” Ruiz doesn’t believe the Mural Matching Grant Program is a good enough reason to arrive at a decision for a community mural. “I think it’s up to the neighborhood,” Ruiz says. “We have to come up with a resolution that is more inclusive. Nothing is off the table.”

COMEDY
More than 30 years ago, promoter Jon Fox began booking Sunday night comedy at the defunct Albatross at Pleasure Point. He later moved the showcase of touring road comics to its current home, the Crow’s Nest—making it one of the longest-standing comedy rooms in all of California. <21 been doing comedy for three years when I quit my day job. Everyone I started with began quitting their jobs and making money.” But the early ’90s found the comedy bubble bursting as clubs closed up and opportunities to perform became slim. In 2014, though, new comics are hitting the stage every night, throughout America. I’m one of those comics who will drive hours to perform five minutes of comedy to a room full of strangers. But I also promote comedy shows. Thus, I was pleased when Good Times scribe Jacob Pierce gave me the moniker of “the czar of underground comedy in Santa Cruz.” Honestly, I was on the fence about the title; my people ran away from the czar—and I’m not about to unleash a pogrom on local comedians—but I’ll take it. Comedy runs through my genes, literally. My grandfather and his brothers ran the Hotel Anderson in Monticello, New York, in the heart of the Borscht Belt during the 1950s. According to Sid Caesar’s 1982 autobiography, “Where Have I Been?” the Hotel Anderson was where the legendary pioneer of

Still, there have been enough comics in Santa Cruz crazy enough to shatter their egos—and enough people who want to witness them doing it—that this city has been a hub for stand-up comedy for more than three decades. And it’s flourishing here like never before. Santa Cruz is part of a new comedy boom, the likes of which haven’t been seen since the 1980s. In any given week, there are several open-mics around town featuring local and Bay Area comics, and bigger names are beginning to stop off in Santa Cruz. In April, Bill Cosby appeared at the Civic Auditorium—his second time in Santa Cruz—and in May, Demetri Martin made his first appearance there. Just recently, the socially conscious truth teller Doug Stanhope performed a sold-out show at Don Quixote in Felton. Amongst younger comics, there is an inside story everyone knows: from the 1980s through the early ’90s, any comic with a 15-minute act could tour the country and earn enough money to buy a house. Bay Area comedy legend Larry “Bubbles” Brown confirms, “I had

COMEDY <23 comedy got his first start. People always ask about my name. DNA is an acronym, but my given name was bequeathed upon me from my great-uncle Nachum, the booker of the Hotel Anderson. True to my namesake, I’ve put on over 3,000 events in the last 20 years, throughout Northern California. Everything from strange, not-so-family-friendly circuses and late-night theatre productions to concerts, festivals, and yes, comedy. Over the years, I’ve learned a couple of basic formulas for putting on a solid show. One is that there needs to be an atmosphere of respect. Two is that beyond all the egos and mental illnesses that artists are known for, putting on a show is entertainment. The audience needs to sense, on a basic level, that everything is safe (or at least, controlled chaos) so they don’t feel compelled to flee. If all this is done right, they leave thinking, “That was great, I need to tell people about this and come back.”

He introduced the first unedited stand-up comedy to cable television when the fledgling Showtime network began broadcasting footage from the finals of the SFICC—a move that helped launch careers for people like Dana Carvey, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams and Patton Oswalt. You cannot sum up our town’s comedy history without a tip of the hat to Richard Stockton. In 2007, Stockton started the wildly successful Planet Cruz shows at

As deeply involved as I am in the local scene, I’m not reinventing the comedy wheel—stand-up comedy has a long legacy in Santa Cruz. More than 30 years ago, promoter Jon Fox began booking Sunday night comedy at the defunct Albatross at Pleasure Point. When the Albatross went out of business 15 years later, he moved the Sunday night showcase of touring road comics to its current home, the Crow’s Nest—making it one of the longest-standing comedy rooms in all of California. Fox’s reputation is steeped in legend for having started the Punchline in 1978 San Francisco, one of America’s most famous comedy clubs. The silver-haired smooth talker has been providing a forum for stand-up comics ever since. He’s mentored people like Mitch
the Kuumbwa Jazz Center, which featured amazing stand-up comics. While the show is on hiatus, Stockton is manifesting his dream of taking his one-man show on the road. The acclaimed Are We There Yet? is Stockton’s personal take on the dreams of the hippies and the materialism of the Boomers.
The Laughter Renaissance Currently, there are seven venues providing stand-up comedy gigs in Santa Cruz, five nights a week. From anything-goes open-mics to crafted showcase performances, the opportunity for local comics to constantly work on their sets is expanding. Santa Cruz comics like Tyler Hinz, Michael Montgomery, Chad Opitz, Trevor Rogers, Dave “Supe”
ing is an arduous task. Booking the show—and, in the case of showcases, crafting a line-up and getting everyone there—can be stressful. Hosting the show, making sure it runs on time, and giving comics the “light” to let them know they are almost done is hectic. Then there is the task of coming up with new material each week as host—all for little money, or no money, or losing money. It is time-consuming and it takes mastery, or an OCD, to wear all the hats at the same time without freaking out. A room takes at least a year to find its footing, establish a routine and find a groove. Often venues and locations don’t have the patience to wait it out, and promoters may not have the patience to grow a healthy room—which leads to rooms
popping in and out like sub-atomic particles. Since it gets confusing to know where to go each night, I, along with Half Moon Bay comedian Phil Griffiths, developed a website that highlights all the comedy in Santa Cruz and the central coast: standupsantacruz.com. Despite the challenges, Santa Cruz has been enjoying a fairly consistent lineup of new rooms with an open-mic format. On Mondays, Stoney Godet hosts a show at Surf City Billiards which allows everyone to get a chance at the mic. The Red Room has become a favorite place for stand-up on Tuesday nights, hosted by Ben Switzer. George Kane endures an open-mic format Wednesdays at The Mediterranean in Aptos, and also crafts a showcase twice a month at Iveta Café on the Westside. And on Sundays and Thursdays, locals are refining their acts at The Blue Lounge and Britannia Arms in Capitola, respectively—both hosted by Big Bill, Stoney Godet and a guy named Hamburger. Joe Hughes is on the trail to find a new venue to replace his successful shows at It’s Wine Tyme in Capitola, and other spots are becoming hip to the comedy wave as well, including The Tannery, where I host a monthly comedy show on the last Wednesday of every month. Coming up in October, the first ever Santa Cruz Music and Comedy Festival will take place downtown, and I’m hoping to line up 10 comedy shows at 10 venues all in one night.
The Dark Underside Cliques are not uncommon in comedy scenes. Comics of the same caliber tend to gravitate toward one another, pushing each other to be better. The fact is that the high majority of stand-up comics are slightly (some more than others) unhinged. We all have a perverse need to be heard on a microphone. Sometimes after a show you

COMEDY <21
Somewhere in a comic’s mind there is this chatter: These jokes suck. Nobody cares. These people are looking at me like I’m insane. based on cues from the audience, and to observe the universe at large and translate life experiences into something hilarious on stage. Night after night. I watch comics like some people watch racehorses or baseball players. I want to find new talent that I can use in bigger shows, and I want to give people opportunities. Santa Cruz is like a breeding ground, a place for comedians to refine their acts so that when they go to the Bay Area scene they at least fit in. The Blue Lagoon show was originally started by Lindsay Blaz, and every Thursday night for the last six years I have tried to create a professional production, one that would be similar to something you would find in a major city. Why? I believe stand-up comedy might be the last vestige of pure information in America. As the information sourced through the Internet becomes more edited, redacted and censored as time goes on, live stand-up comedy shows are the litmus test for unbridled thought. Something powerful happens when an audience and comic are on the same page—when bubbling laughter erupts into uproarious hilarity. Yes, stand-up can be as dangerous as surfing Mavericks, with comics routinely ending up in the bone yard, with a crushed soul. But in its highest form, it can challenge belief systems and change how we all relate to each other. Within those sacred moments, healing begins.

will hear comics saying (or posting) that they “killed”—comedy parlance for “had an amazing set and everyone laughed until they fell on the floor in convulsions”—even if all anyone else witnessed was a stutter-stop diatribe where some people in the audience were vaguely not disinterested. There is no group of people in the world more delusional than stand-up comics. But this delusion is actually a safeguard against the comic completely breaking down. Somewhere in a comic’s mind there is this chatter: These jokes suck. Nobody cares. These people are looking at me like I’m insane. Maybe I am crazy. Why do I think that these people want to hear my thoughts when I don’t even want to hear them anymore? I have made a lot of horrible decisions in my life. This is the worst. If doubt is the dragon, delusion is the sword that slays it. Years of continued hard work shift the elusive fantasy of “killing” to the reality of understanding the delicate craft of stand-up. Fact is, some people who have never done stand-up can get on stage and have excellent sets. There are so many variables in comedy. A joke might work one night with one crowd, but the same joke might bomb another night with a different crowd. The craft is to keep doing it, and the art is to be able to listen to your inner workings—to be able to change your wording at the last minute,

COMEDY <28 And without his persistence, the Blue’s room might not have survived either. “This is the one who started it all,” comedian Chad Opitz says. “Nobody would be getting any time initially if this one did not exist. And it was so good that it made people want to start their own rooms.” Here are three local comics who are making names for themselves, leaving their marks on Santa Cruz and using open mics, like the one at the Blue Lagoon, as platforms for their next level.
Brendan Lynch: Santa Cruz’s Angriest Comic rendan Lynch looks clean-cut tonight at the Blue Lagoon in a plaid collared shirt and zip-up sweatshirt, his beard and curly black hair trimmed shorter than normal. He sets his iPhone to record as he yells at the audience. “This is the most important set of my life!” Lynch says. A college-aged guy in the audience, one who’s probably seen him before, squeals with laughter. This is what happens when fans see Lynch get onstage—they shriek in nervous anticipation of his angry, dry wit before the comic even starts. They think they have a connection with him. They’re not always right. “That’s not a joke, you fucking idiot,” Lynch shoots back. And for once, Lynch isn’t really joking. The comedian who grew up in Santa Cruz and now lives in San Francisco has been recording his own seven-minute sets around the Bay Area for weeks now. What the crowd doesn’t know is that Lynch is getting ready to do a segment for Comedy Central that will air this summer. When he listens to the recording later, he’ll break it apart and try to learn something. Lynch launches into a set about why he’s afraid of balloon animals, what’s wrong with goatees, and why

one should never dine and dash from a Kenyan restaurant. But it’s Lynch’s intensity, and the way he talks to his audience, that sets him apart. I remember once watching him stray from his prepared material to yell at a guy with a T-shirt for the ’90s band Soundgarden. The audience was howling. After a minute of unrelenting badgering the man for his questionable fashion and music sense, Lynch paused and asked, “Did your shirt come out of a ‘Black Hole Sun’?”—referencing the band’s 1994 hit. Silence. You can’t help feeling bad for a comedian in this moment, and wonder whether or not he’ll recover. “The fact that that joke bombed proves how lame [that shirt] is,” Lynch said. The crowd roared with laughter all over again. Although there’s something nerve-racking about sitting in Lynch’s audience when you see his act, it isn’t as menacing as it sounds. Still the abrasive approach is paying off for Lynch, who was named one of SF Weekly’s comics to watch last year and the runner-up in last fall’s San Francisco Comedy Competition. Not that such information is readily available. The notoriously aloof comedian has no website. It’s impossible to find a good recent photograph of him online, let alone a video. With a Comedy Central appearance around the corner, it would seem to be a good time to open up. Still he’s refusing to do interviews with any reporters, including myself. (My theory is he wants us to write things like “Lynch is the most mysterious comedian I’ve ever seen” and “Sources tell me he lives in a cave.”) I have not been immune to Lynch’s antics myself. He’s hassled me from the stage with his intense, menacing gaze. But each time I chat with him after a set at the Blue, Lynch could not be any more polite. As for who the real Brendan Lynch is, I’ll just have to guess and wonder, and, until he opens up, I guess the rest of the world will, too.
MIKE MONTGOMERY
Mike Montgomery: Get Uncomfortable
T
“There’s a lot of misdirection involved,” he explains after his set. “And if you can build people up, it’s like you build up all the air in the balloon. And then you relieve the pressure, and they get to laugh. Comedy a lot of times is a weird balance between tension and release. You can build them up because they get that a lot in normal life, but what they don’t get is the release. They get to laugh about it.” Montgomery, a U.S. Navy veteran, is currently a communications student at Cal State East Bay, keeping his nights open for comedy. He keeps his act loose, drafting up a rough outline before each set, but he only follows it about half the time, he says. He likes being onstage because it’s one of the only times the racing thoughts in his brain slow down for a couple of minutes. That’s his meditation. “If people are laughing, and it’s a good show,” he says. “I don’t really think. Sometimes I don’t even think about what I’m going to say next.”

he weather’s getting warmer, and Mike Montgomery can’t get enough of it. He loves warm weather, he tells an apprehensive crowd at The Tannery’s Art Bar, because that’s when girls start walking around in cut-off jeans shorts. “I bet you know what I’m thinking when I say that: I miss my dad, “Montgomery explains as he opens his set. “My dad ruined that for me. He wore cut-off jeans shorts my whole life. We called them his Daddy Dukes.” Montgomery’s opener, which develops into increasingly funny stories about his father, illustrates a line that he walks throughout his act: creating an awkward moment by acting like he’s launching into an egotistical diatribe— as if he were a red-headed, more sexist Dane Cook. Then Montgomery relieves that tension with a funny surprising turn that makes fun of himself more than anyone else.

Chad Opitz: Absurd Bearded Wonder had Opitz first began his performing life as a musician, a keyboardist playing originals like “I Married a Necro” with electronic drumbeats. But he had a hard time getting music gigs, and decided to try stand-up comedy one night at the Blue Lagoon. The whole comedy thing quickly proved more complex and interesting to him because it always poses new challenges. “You constantly have to learn new things and do things in a different way with different audiences, and I really like how the response is immediate,” Opitz says. “If something doesn’t work, you know right away. That’s very different than music. With music you don’t really know if you’re doing great. People are just sitting there watching. Then they clap at the end and watch the next song—clap. It’s a much different performance.” And growing as a comedian, Opitz says, often boils down to breaking down variables for what’s working and what isn’t: did people not laugh at something because it clashed with an earlier joke, or because I screwed up the delivery?

Is the crowd uptight, or is the joke just not funny? “It’s a lot of times it’s pretty confusing,” Opitz admits. In his routine, Opitz, who has a bushy brown beard, has many jokes that start with an amusing premise that builds on itself—soon getting taken to absurd extremes. His humorous observations about how cool electronic cigarettes look, for example, segues into visions of robots smoking them in bed after having robot sex. For good measure, he explains what robot sex smells like, for those who don’t already know: “Have you ever held onto a bunch of pennies for a while?” That’s a line that always gets laughs. “I think people have done that and know that smell maybe. They’ll react to it,” he says. Opitz does stand-up two to five times a week these days after first trying his hand at it two and a half years ago when the only spot in town to try out new jokes was the Blue. “Now there’s just so many more opportunities to get time,” Opitz says. “In the past year, I feel I’ve grown way more than in the first year, because there were just not many other places to go.” Q

Recently, I had a young man tell me “Fat people are lazy and have no will power”. It’s a good thing I am not a violent person because I wanted to punch him!! After all these years at The Healthy Way and a half century of my own personal issue with weight, I am here to tell you the weight challenged are some of the most determined, most committed individuals I know! The culprit of this obesity crisis we face is the American diet with 80% of items in the grocery store now containing sugar in one form or another. For those who suffer with weight issues, I see them as victims.... their bodies just can’t metabolize certain foods, and as a result, they “wear the problem”, while others seemingly “get away with it”. But make no mistake, junk in.... is junk in and eventually all health will suffer from it. Remember, it’s about Skill Power, not Will Power and about Substitution not Elimination and as long as I’m on a roll here...it’s Progress, not Perfection! Please go see, Fed Up, the new documentary by Katie Couric. We eat and send to other countries “the world’s most deadliest diet.” This film should be required viewing for all who eat in America because it clearly demonstrates what’s driving the “greatest public health epidemic of our time.” As the film portrays, we are headed for big trouble if we don’t turn this situation around. The cornerstone of The Healthy Way is blood sugar stabilization and we will help you implement the necessary dietary changes without a lot of stress or strain to your lifestyle.

DIVA RISING Kuumbwa Jazz will present a performance by Angélique Kidjo at the Rio on Thursday.
High Spirits World-music legend Angélique Kidjo performs at the Rio on the heels of a new album and book BY BRIAN PALMER
HOT TICKET
Her uplifting and empowering songs have touched the hearts of millions, and she is an international symbol of what female musicians can and should aspire to. But the native of the West African country of Benin faced many obstacles growing up in the ’60s and ’70s before sneaking out
of the country overnight to make a life for herself in Paris. In her new memoir, “Spirit Rising: My Life, My Music,” Kidjo—who performs Thursday, June 19, at the Rio—talks about the struggles she faced being a forthright and insatiably curious young woman (attributes which sometimes got her in trouble) and
because she wanted to be a singer— an ambition which was frowned upon by some. But once music took hold of her, nothing was going to stop her from chasing her dream. “I remember when I bought the album Pata Pata by Miriam Mekeba, I thought, ‘So it is possible for an African woman to be a >38

the world and sing for the whole world,’” she tells GT. “I knew at once I wanted to do the same thing.” Instead of listening to those who mocked her and her dreams, she chose to let the people who did support her give her the strength she needed to press on. “My public has always given me the strength to fight the odds I have encountered,” Kidjo says. “I’ve always felt a special connection with the audience. When you hear from even one fan that you’ve changed [their] life through your music, it gives you so much energy! You just can’t give up.” That theme runs through her memoir. Even after getting away from an oppressive dictatorship in Benin, her struggles continued. Money was tight, food was scarce and it was difficult living in a lessthan-welcoming community which was sometimes antagonistic towards her because of her ethnicity. But instead of channeling all of this into angry music, she chose to focus on bringing more light into the world. “In Benin, the way we say things— the tone, the expressions, the sayings we use—all these elements are very subtle and powerful,” Kidjo says. “You have to be careful with words. We used to live in an oral tradition, so this is why words are more powerful there. In French you say, ‘Words will fly away, but written words will stay,’ but because our culture was just oral, it carried extra weight for the worse and for the better. I try to use my lyrics to empower people, not to bring them down.” “Spirit” also shows how Kidjo
empowers people outside the realm of music. She has been an ambassador for UNICEF for many years, specifically their programs that seek to give girls opportunities they otherwise would not have. She was so moved by the organization’s efforts that she eventually started her own foundation, called Batonga, to provide African girls with as many of those same opportunities as possible. “I have received so much beauty and culture from [Africa], and was so lucky to be able to express myself, so I want every girl in Africa to have the same chance,” Kidjo says. “The Batonga Foundation gives scholarships for secondary education in four countries. You can’t stay still when the world is so imbalanced. At one point in my life, I wanted to be a human rights lawyer, so this fight has stuck with me, even through my music.” But while “Spirit” focuses on a number of heavy themes and shows the incredible impact Kidjo has had on the world’s cultural and musical landscape, it ends with a series of recipes from her native land, and hints at Kidjo’s original idea for the book itself. “[It] was supposed to be a cook book with glimpses of my life in between,” Kidjo says. “The book took another turn, but I didn’t want to give up the idea of the recipes, because cooking is a true passion for me, right behind singing. I spend hours in the kitchen, more hours in fact than in recording studios!” Angélique Kidjo performs at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, June 19, at The Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., in Santa Cruz. Tickets are $55 gold circle, $40 general.

Bridget Henry’s printmaking metaphysics
M
adonnas and hangmen, lilies and hunters, drowning maidens and con artists—such archetypal imagery saturates the woodcut prints made by Bridget Henry. Her themes seem channeled from dreams. Or inspired by the coastal setting of her studio. A loose collection of vintage buildings, Campo Verde lies between artichoke fields and the ocean. Romantically ramshackle yet carefully painted, polished and restored, it is not only the sweet remains of a wild coast hippie zeitgeist, but also the setting
where Henry, one among several artist residents, makes her work. A specialist in reduction woodcuts, Henry's richly inked prints are loaded with inspiration from Jungian archetypes, folkloric archaeology, and the odd Tom Waits song. "I was always attracted to old woodcuts," Henry says."I quickly realized that this was my language." In a converted washroom of former migrant-worker housing Henry draws, sands, carves, and prints the wooden blocks that form the foundation of her work. In the center of the space is the etching
BY CHRISTINA WATERS press, the key to all of her results. "I saved up for it," she says proudly. Holding up a work in progress—a fisherman in a tree casting his net for a giant fish waiting below— Henry explains her process. Once satisfied with an initial drawing, she transfers it to the surface of the wood. Carefully registering printing paper with wooden surface she rolls on the first color. "The background comes first." Then she carves again into the wood, leaving uncut the surface she wants printed in the next color. Pulled through the press, the paper now has two colors of the
design on its surface. Henry carves the next phase. Mixing inks on a slab of glass, she will apply the third color to the woodcut surface using hard rubber rollers, re-register the original sheets of paper, and roll the prints through the press again. And over and over, carving, inking, and pressing until the image has emerged in its full, multi-colored glory. Henry came to Santa Cruz in 1985 from her native Southern California. "It was so beautiful that I decided not to go directly back to school," she recalls. "I wanted time to travel and be free." After a few years at Cabrillo, where courses with Howard Ikemoto inspired her printmaking metaphysics, she transferred to UCSC, studying with Paul Rangell, Bob Chiarito and Don Fritz. She ultimately scored a Staff Research Assistant position in printmaking at UC Santa Cruz, a dream day job that gives her freedom to make art. "I don't have a car payment, I'm not putting children through college. I have a great life," she says, beaming. "I can travel, eat well— living out in Davenport has been a big part of that." Thanks to Open Studios exposure, Henry's sensitive graphic eye has been on recent public display, on an Oakland museum exterior wall and in a wraparound installation on the downtown Santa Cruz public library. The project, she says, opened up her visual vocabulary and resulted in an installation of 17-foot-long paper panels upon which the word "Home" had been computer-printed from Henry's original woodcuts. "We had an audience watching us paste up the panels the whole time," she recalls. Henry never waits for inspiration. "It took me a long time to get to this point of readiness." Currently she is exploring a set of prints with fairy-tale images. "I have done “Little Red Riding Hood” at different ages. I'm interested in stories as a way to see how people move through different characters in their lives." An obsessive reader, Henry reveals that she might have liked to be a detective. "I'm curious—I want to uncover things." It shows in her work.

Third Friday’s ‘Art That Moves’ showcases scribbler’s unorthodox philosophy BY AARON CARNES

D
rawing rewires your brain,” Rob Court says. The owner of Scribbles Institute in Santa Cruz, Court has a lot to say about creating art. He coaches several students a week—adults, teenagers and children, all with their own reason to improve their drawing skills. Some just want to become better artists, others are looking for a new hobby, and some are even looking to expand their brain’s creative capacity to help them in their day jobs—mostly people in the tech industry, Court says. But you don’t need to sign up for one of Court’s classes to get a taste of what he does. He will be
participating at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History’s Third Friday this month, with the theme “Art That Moves.” Court will have a table set up to teach passersby how to draw people in motion— particularly athletes such as surfers, skateboarders, snowboarders, and cyclists. As people drift in, Court plans to work with each of them individually, at their level; whether they’ve never drawn before, or have been doing it for 20 years. Aside from the specific focus on movement, this is precisely what Court does in his weekly classes at Santa Cruz’s Scribbles Institute. There are no lectures and no
textbooks. It’s a unique teaching environment. “I immediately read what level each individual is at, and I work with each individual,” Court says. “If they’re someone that’s been in art in the past, and they want to get back into drawing, I just pick up at that level.” Court keeps his classes small, usually between four and eight people. Court has a curriculum, but it’s designed for each specific student. During their weekly twohour class, Court walks around to each person and coaches them, but tries to steer away from the typical, rigid class structure. “It’s a very different setting than a classroom,” Court says. “We
have nice music going. We chat for a while. It’s a social evening. People come here after work. They are stressed out. They like it. It’s something we all look forward to and form friendships out of.” People can pay for several classes at once, but they’re not required to attend those classes in consecutive weeks. He sends out a weekly email to his students, and they simply reply “yes” or “no” to whether they’ll be attending class that week. If they says “yes” he’ll prepare that person’s lesson. “It’s really flexible. If they can’t make it that week, it’s cool. It’s no problem,” Court says. It’s only been about seven years that Court has officially been teaching, but he’s been a professional commercial artist for more than 35 years, including graphic design and illustration work. One of those clients was Disney. Court’s first foray into teaching seven years ago was as a guest lecturer, conducting weekly art classes at different schools. Initially, he attempted to do a uniform art lecture. “I could just see that I was losing them in the first five minutes, so I just started drawing with each kid,” says Court. “I built my program specifically from that, so I could be with each person. I learned from it and they learned from it, so it’s really sharing the experience. There’s a lot of struggle and frustration in drawing, but it’s very relaxing and rewarding.” He still works with schools, but now offers private lessons at his studio for people of all ages. Though Court may be late to the teaching game, he feels like it’s something he’s a natural fit for. “It’s more coaching than teaching,” says Court. “It’s just something I naturally do. If I have some experience and knowledge, it’s just sharing the knowledge as a coach. I’ve always done it as a kid. I organized kids in the neighborhood and helped them do stuff. It’s just a natural thing.” INFO: Third Friday: Art That Moves, Fri, June 20, Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. 5-8 p.m., $5 general, $3 students, seniors and kids.

or Cam Grey—one half of the indie duo Uh Huh Her—making the band’s new album, Future Souls, felt like a return to their roots. “It was like going home,” Grey says. “We had previously done Nocturnes and an acoustic EP, so we’d kind of gone into this weird world that I’m not really used to— acoustic and/or rock. I wanted to get back to our electronic roots. EDM is taking over, and that’s where we started, so I wanted to make a
fun, sedated dance record.” Compared to other dance records, Future is definitely on the chilledout side of things. “It’s Chemical” has a down-tempo sensibility with sensual, jazzy keys, and tracks like “Time” and “Shiiine” are laid-back electro-pop. There is a feeling throughout Future that Grey and bandmate Leisha Hailey are comfortable and having a good time. “We didn’t put too much pressure on the writing process—it was really fluid,” Grey says. “We built a studio
in our house, so that allowed us to go at our own pace and not have any pressure to go to a big studio like we did in the past, where we were rushing to do a million different things because of a budget. It really freed things up for us.” Creative freedom is important for the duo, so building that studio proved to be a crucial decision. Having once been part of a major label, they know all about the pitfalls that can come along with that, and how others can negatively
influence the creative process. Going their own way and secluding themselves during recording was essential to making the album they wanted to make. “When you’re signed or working with producers, you’re subject to being scrutinized by outside opinions, and more often than not that hurts people because they second-guess themselves,” says Grey. “I read The Artist’s Way, and it says you should always create your own space for yourself so everything can flow better, so that was our intention behind having our own little work space.” But Future doesn’t simply flow, musically, by maintaining its subdued, dance-centric vibe throughout; while it does have a lighter, almost happy-sounding feel, the content is less than sunshiny. Future is less about having a good time and more about wondering what all of this means. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve been plagued by an existential crisis,” she says. “I really wanted to get that out. This record is the perfect reflection of all those thoughts about the existence of human beings and all the little creatures on the earth and what does that mean? What the hell is going on? All those perplexing questions.” Dealing with the reality of such heavy themes was not even the most difficult part of the album-making process for Grey. “I’m a composer first—I’m such a producer in that way—and when I work with content it’s hard for me to say what I want to say,” she admits. But despite the difficulty she has voicing her thoughts, and the fact that she is engaged in such deep contemplation about weighty issues like the meaning of existence, Grey still knows how to laugh. “It’s kind of hypocritical in a way, the more I think about it,” she laughs. “I’ll say life is futile in one breath and then it’s the most beautiful thing in another, so I’m just having a crisis!” Uh Huh Her will perform at 9 p.m. Friday, June 20 at the Catalyst Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $15/ advance, $18/door. For more information, call 423-1338.

MUSIC CALENDAR FITZ & THE TANTRUMS
LOVE YOUR
LOCAL BAND
Pawn Shop Soul Pawn Shop Soul isn’t the first band to cover obscure soul songs from the ’60s and ’70s, but they do offer a few new twists. For one thing, they throw a few Latin tunes into their set. Secondly—and more importantly— they are an all-instrumental band, all instrumental covers mind you, which makes them even more far-out than the average crate-digging, left field soul cover band.
JUNE 18-24, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
“We confound even a lot of musicians because a lot of this music is really obscure,” says Steven Baird, baritone sax player and band manager. “I wanted to look for tunes that nobody else found, stuff that got overlooked by the mainstream, but still is very rich and exciting material.”
54
Admittedly, most of the band members aren’t fanatical vinyl collectors, they just love music. In fact, Baird is responsible for at least 90 percent of Pawn Shop Soul’s set list. He didn’t necessarily intend for the band to be instrumental, he just wanted the horn section and the organ to be up front and center. Even if Pawn Shop Soul does get a vocalist— which they’re open to—the vocals will have to share the spotlight with the horns. Because they have evolved into an instrumental, horn-fronted band, they tend to stay away from down-tempo soul songs. “Some slow songs are great when you have a vocalist up front for people to focus on,” Baird says. “When you have a horn-fronted band, you have to keep things at a higher energy to get people on the dance floor.” BRIAN PALMER INFO: 9 p.m. June 20, Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz, $8/adv, $12/door. 479-1854.
WEDNESDAY 6/18 ROCK
TOMMY AND THE HIGH PILOTS People don’t often throw around words like inspirational when describing rock 'n' roll bands, but really there is no better adjective for Santa Barbara rock band Tommy and the High Pilots. They play mid-tempo rock tunes with an ’80s pop feel, triumphant guitars—and man can their singer really belt out some infectious, emotional melodies. It’s feel good music that is a bit Coldplay, a dash Maroon 5, a splash Bon Jovi and just a pinch of twang. Their singer claims he never sings about himself, but draws from tales he picks up on when strangers tell him their life stories. So be warned anyone that makes it backstage. AARON CARNES INFO: 9.p.m. Catalyst Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/door. 423-1336.
THURSDAY 6/19 ALT-ROCK
VISION Burger Records is hot right now. A
small, vinyl and cassette-friendly (yes, cassette) record label out of Fullerton. The project is to today's underground what Kill Rock Stars or K Records was to the 1990s. Vision, a recent addition to the label's roster, is also a throwback—this time to the days when Joy Division and the Jesus and Mary Chain ruled the airwaves. Expect moody, post-punk-inspired rock. Also on the bill: the Cobalt Cranes, a grungy garage outfit from Los Angeles. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.
FRIDAY 6/20 FUNK
THE NIBBLERS If you like your funk and soul to be sweaty and dance-inducing, then pay attention because The Nibblers will be right up your alley. This Sacramento-based band has a penchant for marrying rock, funk and R&B together in undeniable fashion, to say nothing of the New Orleans-style horn section that accompanies their songs. And when Lynn Michael Palmer starts singing, you’ll be enthralled by the low,
soulful notes he hits. In addition to winning a Sacramento Area Music Award (SAMMIE) in 2010 for best funk/R&B band, they have also played for the likes of Al Gore and shared the stage with Trombone Shorty. After listening to them it is easy to see why. BRIAN PALMER INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $8/adv, $12/door. 479-1854.
FOLK POP
JOSH ROUSE Josh Rouse has had a very prolific career. Starting with his 1998 full-length debut, Dressed Up Like Nebraska, the singer-songwriter folk pop artist has released 10 albums, five EPs and mini-albums, as well as a handful of live album downloads. Rouse, who was born in Nebraska but now lives in Spain, has a disarming way with words and melodies that you cannot help but appreciate. 2013’s The Happiness Waltz includes a number of warm songs that straddle the folk and pop genres with ease, and are reminiscent of James Taylor.

BE OU R GUEST HOP 'N' BARLEY BEER & BBQ FESTIVAL For some, music festivals offer a great excuse to get loose and drink up. The music is fun and all, but it's really all about the brews. The Hop 'n' Barley Festival skips the part about drinking being a perk and gets straight to the point with an out-and-out celebration of beer. Yes, there will be music, including performances by the Naked Bootleggers, Thrive, and the No Good Redwood Ramblers, but the focus of the day is the beer, with more than 100 different brews represented, tastings, and a home brew championship. | CAT JOHNSON

Puerto Rico isn’t actually that far away from Jamaica, yet it’s rare to hear about reggae bands calling Puerto Rico their home. There is Cultura Profetica, who debuted with some old-school reggae sounds in 1996. Man these guys love Bob Marley! They recorded their first album in Jamaica, with Marley’s sound engineer. They even recorded a tribute album to Marley in 2007 and sound strikingly similar. When they’re not singing Marley tunes, they sing primarily in Spanish, and it’s usually political. They’ve released several albums, and have included bits of bossa nova, ska and jazz, though they stick closest to that old-school full band ’70s reggae sound with the horns and the percussion. AC
Michael Fitzpatrick, this buzzy Los Angeles-based band’s music has been burrowing its way through your ears and into your mind for several years now. Their fusion of neo-soul and indie-pop sensibilities has led to appearances on all the late-night shows, and last year’s More Than Just a Dream has yielded two #1 alternative radio hits—“Out of My League” and “The Walker”—and it debuted at #26 on Billboard’s Top 200.

FILM
‘WE’RE OUT OF OPTIONS—GET ME THE A-TEAM!’ Gore Vidal definitely does not say this in the new documentary ‘United States of Amnesia.’
Graveheart JUNE 18-24, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
Witty pessimist Gore Vidal profiled in documentary ‘United States of Amnesia’ BY LISA JENSEN
60
D
espite his demeanor as a patrician observer, Gore Vidal was a political insider from a very young age. Growing up in the Washington, D.C. household of his grandfather, Thomas Gore, the blind U.S. Senator from Oklahoma, young Vidal read him all the daily newspapers. Later, he accompanied his grandfather to the Senate every day as a page, where he had a ringside seat for the way the American political system works—and fails to work. In this crucible of experience, the young Vidal formed strong opinions on the promise of American democracy, as conceived by the Founding Fathers, and the gradual corruption of that democracy by the forces of money and power. Vidal spent all of his life
as a celebrated novelist, essayist, playwright, commentator, and bon vivant trying to warn the American people of the ways their democracy was being eroded out from under them. This urgent warning continues from beyond the grave in Nichols D. Wrathall's absorbing documentary, Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia. Wrathall’s film is more than a biography of Vidal (who died in 2012 at the age of 86). It’s also a concise and engaging collection of the opinions— witty, scandalous, scathing—on American politics and society that shaped Vidal’s life. The media-savvy author was a popular talk-show guest and broadcast news commentator all through his career, and Wrathall employs a wealth of TV clips from various decades, as well as his own
extensive interview footage of Vidal toward the end of his days (aging, but no less ferocious), to tell the story of this remarkable life. The earliest footage we see of Vidal is as a 10-year-old boy, nonchalantly flying a small plane designed by his aeronautical engineer father, Eugene Vidal (who “wanted to be the Henry Ford of aviation,” his son recalls). In retrospect, Vidal, the younger, spares no sentiment on his impossible mother, but romanticizes his beloved grandfather Gore as “the only senator from Oklahoma, an oil state, who had no money, because he took no graft.” After a prep school education and a stint in the Army—which led to writing his first novel, Williwaw, on the folly of war—Vidal declined to go to Harvard, and went to Italy
instead. More novels followed, one of which, The City and the Pillar, was so notorious for its frank depiction of homosexuality that the New York Times refused to review it—or anything else Vidal wrote for the next five years. Undaunted, Vidal wrote plays, screenplays, TV teleplays, essays, a mystery series and other successful novels, then relocated permanently to a house in Ravello, Italy, in the 1960s, with his longtime companion, Howard Austen. Here, he acquired the proper distance to write the series of American history novels (Burr, 1976, Lincoln, etc) for which he is most acclaimed. His simultaneous career as a leftwing “celebrity intellectual” on U.S. TV is also well documented here. Vidal’s on-air feuds with waspish arch-conservative William F. Buckley and a choleric Norman Mailer are included. But more illuminating are Vidal's off-the-cuff observations sprinkled throughout on American culture, politics, and society—from the “false mystique” of the Kennedys (it was JFK, not Johnson, he reminds us, who committed troops to Vietnam) to the notion that Harry S. Truman militarized U.S. society. Vidal states that “the dream of every society is total control,” and suggests that American democracy is now based on “socialism for the rich,” who live off enormous government subsidies, “and free enterprise for the poor.” On the marketing of politicians, he notes that “Advertising … is the only art form America ever perfected,” and despairs over what is lost morally in the process of financing a presidential campaign. Vidal calls himself a pessimist because whenever he wants to know what motivates our culture, “I look into my own black heart.” While his opinions are often deliberately provocative, his ideas stem from a lifetime of shrewd, if sad, contemplation of the human animal. Wrathall’s film is a fascinating glimpse into that somewhat rueful, yet stubbornly principled heart of darkness. GORE VIDAL: THE UNITED STATES OF AMNESIA *** (out of four) Opens June 27 at the Nickelodeon. With Gore Vidal. A film by Nicholas D. Wrathall. An IFC Films release. Not Rated. 83 minutes.

Directed by David Michod, whose first film was the tough Aussie crime drama Animal Kingdom. (R) 102 minutes. Starts Friday.

NOW PLAYING 22 JUMP STREET Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are back as the undercover cops who bluffed their way through high school in the first
Jump Street movie. Now they’re undercover at a local college, and drifting apart into opposite jock and bohemian art scenes on campus.

He goes on the road with a food truck, selling spicy Miami-style sandwiches with his sous-chef buddy (John Leguizamo) and his Internet-savvy 10-year-old son. Sofia Vergara is his sassy ex, and while the plot plays out exactly as you expect, the actors are engaging, the story sizzles with Latin flavor, and the food looks great; trust me, you’ll come out jonesing for a fried Cubano sandwich. (R) 115 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. EDGE OF TOMORROW It’s like a sci-fi Groundhog Day. When aliens invade the Earth, an untested Army Major (Tom Cruise) is sent to the front lines, and promptly killed—except he’s caught in a time loop, forced to keep experiencing the same battle over and over again.

IDA This Polish film from Pawel Pawlikowski is a small miracle of economic storytelling, emotional complexity and astonishing scope. Both an intimate drama and an unsentimentalized look back on two tumultuous decades of Polish history as told over the course of a few days in the life of a young woman, it’s everything we want a film to be—focused, beautifully composed, surprising, and powerful. Agata Trzebuchowska is lovely as a convent-raised orphan; Agata Kulesza is superb as the
wayward aunt who reveals the truth of her Jewish family history. (PG-13) 80 minutes. In Polish with English subtitles. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen. MALEFICENT The “evil fairy” and designated villain from Sleeping Beauty gets to tell her side of the story in Disney’s live-action revision, starring a formidable Angelina Jolie. The narrative stumbles, as in an ugly gratuitous battle sequence. But more than just an unhappy romance, the heinous act committed against Maleficent that hardens her heart has enormous symbolic weight for female viewers. Robert Stromberg directs. (PG) 97 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. THE SIGNAL It’s a high-tech game of cat and mouse when three college students on a road trip across the Southwest run afoul of a mysterious genius computer hacker whom they contact online. Brenton Thwaites stars as the member of the three isolated from the others; Laurence Fishburne plays his antagonist. Olivia Cooke and Beau Knapp co-star for director William Eubank. (PG-13) 97 minutes. WORDS AND PICTURES Clive Owen and Juliette Binoche star as unlikely romantic partners who meet at an upscale prep school—
he’s an extroverted English teacher, and she’s a reserved art teacher. Yet romance blossoms as they become caught up in a debate between their students over whether words or pictures are more important. Veteran Australian-born director Fred Schepisi (The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith; Last Orders) directs. (PG-13) 111 minutes. X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST In this doomsday scenario, Hugh Jackman’s Logan/Wolverine is sent into the past to enlist the mutants’ younger selves in an epic battle for the future. James McAvoy steals his scenes as a despondent, cynical younger Charles Xavier who has to be coaxed back into (psychological) fighting trim, and Evan Peters is a riot as Quicksilver (a refreshing touch in such a dark story). But returning original director Bryan Singer can no longer maintain the focus on the personal stories that have always fueled the franchise, and the robot apocalypse finale is more exhausting than cathartic. Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Peter Dinklage co-star, alongside series stalwarts Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. (PG-13) 131 minutes. (**1/2)—Lisa Jensen.

SUMMER SUMMIT
GRAPE EXPECTATIONS The new tasting room at Wrights Station Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains will open this weekend, as a participant in the Solstice on the Summit Festival.
Celebrating Solstice
T
he longest day of the year— or the shortest, depending upon which hemisphere you're currently occupying—June 20 (or 21 or 22) brings its own peculiar charms. And festival traditions. In the far northern European climes, such as Sweden, Norway and Finland, Midsummer has been celebrated since the dawn of, well, that's actually a misplaced metaphor since there is no dawn on the solstice up there. And that's because there is no night. Trust me. It's geographical.
The "lands of the midnight sun" definitely like to whoop it up on the endless day when the party essentially never ends. Maypoles, bonfires and pickled herring are only some of the delightfully pagan ways to acknowledge the roundness of our planet, and its tilting trajectory around that fiery ball in the sky. This might be the year that you begin your own solstice tradition, keeping in mind that the actual solstice begins on Saturday, June 21, 2014 at 6:51 a.m. EDT. A bonfire on
the beach seems like a good place to start. And it's probably cheaper than flying to Stonehenge where festive crowds await the sunrise with anticipation and plenty of ale. The Druids liked to use the summer solstice as an excuse to indulge in the "wedding of Heaven and Earth," using themselves as surrogates, and I think you can figure that one out on your own. You might want to join the folks at Live Earth Farm for their annual Summer Solstice Celebration, starting at 2 p.m. on June 21. Cob oven
PORK BELLIES FOR RIGHT-MINDED CARNIVORES Love Apple Farm's longtime associate Mountain Whale Ranch now has humanely raised pastured pork available, whole and half carcasses—for restaurants and serious home butchers. You've probably tasted the luscious pork raised at Mountain Whale if you've eaten at Haven in Oakland, Main Street Garden Cafe in Soquel, or La Balena in Carmel (among many top Bay Area dining spots). Farm tours and custom classes are available if you're interested in their ranching practices, hog raising, butchering and sausage making. Right in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Come see what they're doing and ask about their "small meat CSA."

Santa Cruz Mountain wineries and Live Earth Farm welcome summer BY CHRISTINA WATERS
Think of it as a no-brainer way to travel through some spectacular parts of our sprawling wine-growing region, a mere 20 minutes from Santa Cruz, and discover some peak wine tasting in the process. I refer to the festivities of the annual Solstice on the Summit Festival, June 21-22 from noon to 5 p.m. All participating wineries will be hosting sun-soaked events and we're all invited to visit every single one of them. That includes Burrell School, MJA, Silver Mountain, Villa del Monte, the new Wrights Station Vineyard & Winery and the Summit Store. The $25 ticket gets you that ever-popular commemorative wineglass—which is your physical ticket to all wine tasting and events at participation spots. You can expect garden tours, winery tours, guest chefs catering small plates, live jazz at Silver Mountain, live Hawaiian slack key music at MJA (Hawaiian solstice?) and lots of other atmospheric touches. Check the website for details or simply visit one of the wineries and get your ticket there.

Odonata’s Holiday Bubbles BY JOSIE COWDEN
SPARKLING ROSÉ OF SANGIOVESE 2010
SLIP ON, SLIP OFF My husband and I just got back from a month in Turkey and Greece, where we did a heck of a lot of walking, especially in Istanbul, Cappadocia and Ephesus in Turkey, and up and down the winding streets of Santorini and the mountain town of Arahova, two hours’ drive north of Athens. Just before I left on the trip, I went to the FlipFlop Shop in downtown Santa Cruz, and bought a pair of Sketchers GoWalk shoes, which are light, comfortable and easy to slip on and off. And they’re washable, too. FlipFlop Shop’s owners are Susi and Marshall Ballard at 1528 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz, 316-0912. Flipflopshops.com.
INTERNATIONAL TASTING It’s always fun to go wine tasting in other countries, if only to try something different. One we visited in Pamukkale, Turkey was quite a big operation called Coskun Sarap Manzeni, which processes Anatolia’s best grapes. We tried some interesting wines, not all of them great. The store also sells a wild assortment of Turkish delight. On the Greek island of Santorini, we drove to a spectacular winery called Domaine Sigalas where we tasted vibrant regional varietals, especially Assyrtiko and Mavrotragano from the island’s unique terroir.

The Fourth of July is just around the corner, so it’s time to get out the bunting and plan the festivities. And what could be better than celebrating with a drop of the old bubbly? This is where Odonata Wines comes in. Their pretty pink “sparkler” is fun and festive, and just the perfect upbeat beverage to enjoy at anytime, especially with your red-white-and-blue-themed cuisine. The wine itself is like strawberry-cherry shortcake, says talented winemaker Denis Hoey, and it has a texture and tannin to it that play well with a multitude of foods. So how perfect, then, to bring out the Sparkling Rosé of Sangiovese ($28) to go with your backyard barbecue, as well as all the other munchies that abound on the Fourth. Fruit for this wine is grown in Machado Creek Vineyard in Santa Clara County, where Hoey selects the very best grapes, which shows in the quality of this well-made nectar. With its creamy refined bubbles that dance in the mouth, this rosy-bright sparkler will delight many a tongue on Independence Day. I first met Hoey about 10 years ago, before he and Claire were married. They now have two children and are doing extremely well with their wines and busy tasting room on Mission Street. Hoey now participates in the popular First Friday Art Tour, and is open every first Friday of the month from 4:30 to 8 p.m. Odonata Wines, 2343 Mission St.,
Santa Cruz, 566-5147. Odonatawines. com. Odonata is open Friday to Sunday from noon to 5 p.m., and for pizza night on Tuesdays from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Contact info: denis@odonatawines.com.

amen noodle houses aren’t exactly Santa Cruz’s culinary strength, which is precisely why former Burlingame Ramen Club owner Kaji Goto thought it would be a good idea to start one here. Kaito— which serves not only ramen, but also curry, sushi, Japanese tapas and something he calls “sushi tapas”— opened about a month ago, in the spot previously occupied by Pink Godzilla on 41st Avenue. We asked Goto some questions about his new restaurant.
GT: What are sushi tapas? Kaji Goto: Tapas are small dishes, like appetizers, and people can share them. So the idea of sushi tapas is the customer can order half orders. So it is smaller, and people can try many different kinds of sushi.
What do you think makes a good bowl of ramen? The soup. It takes time. We usually keep it boiling for four to five hours. It’s made from scratch. We usually use pork bone, chicken bone, seafood bone and lots of vegetables. All kinds of ingredients are in the broth, so it makes a lot of flavor. Ramen is comfort food. The weather is better here in Santa Cruz than in
the Bay Area ’cause it’s a little bit cooler climate, so soup is good. This is the Pleasure Point area, so a lot of people are surfing. After the surfing, they need a little warm up.
Tell me about your sake selection. People used to just drink sake hot. Still people do. But a lot of premium sake is served at room temperature or chilled. That has more flavor. Each premium sake has a totally different flavor, like wine. Hot sake doesn’t taste different—it’s just hot. Sparkling sake, it’s lighter and has less alcohol. It’s like a cocktail. Ladies like it. It’s easier to drink.
Your non-sushi tapas menu is quite extensive. What do you recommend off of it? We have the takoyaki, which is octopus. It’s like a dumpling—little bit of cabbage and flour and a little bit of water, like a pancake, but it’s not sweet. It’s usually round, like a small bowl. It’s grilled or made deep fried. And we put it on a dish and we use the takoyaki, which is like a ketchup. And there’s a spicy mayonnaise sauce and dried bonito flakes on the top. INFO: 830 41st Avenue, Santa Cruz, 464-2586.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES SIGNS OF SUMMERTIME Sun enters the sign and magnetic field of Cancer, the gate where spirit enters form, Saturday at 3:51 a.m. (Pacific time). Summer begins in the northern hemisphere. Moon/ Uranus in Aries, Sun/Mercury in Gemini (a message for humanity to bring forth all things new). The Archangel Uriel assumes his summer duties protecting Earth’s kingdoms. We find him on subtle etheric levels, teaching the devas (beings of light) in fields and meadows, where wild things are. Uriel invites us to join in summer esoteric studies. Summer solstice is the longest day of light for the year, and the sun, at its maximum light and elevation to the Earth, is still for three days. Life is green, warm and more abundant for humanity.
During summer solstice, seeds of light from the past twelve months’ new and full moon festivals, collected in our pineal and pituitary glands, gather in the third ventricle, the “marriage bed” or the “manger.” Filled with the gathered seeds of light, a new consciousness begins to vibrate within our head centers and chakras, and new tasks are set before us for the upcoming year. Each year at summer solstice, this new awareness occurs to those who are prepared. We begin a new year of seed gathering at Cancer’s new moon festival (June 27). At dawn Monday (June 23) Venus enters Gemini. Venus, uniting all separations, is our Morning Star, Phosphorus, the Light Bringer.
ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
You’re preparing for something new and vibrant, initiating a new reality. Put things in order even though it feels like a most difficult time, responsibilities seem overwhelming and hard work the only thing you know anymore. The present is preparing for a future when goals, ambitions and dreams bear fruit, manifesting into form and matter. Don’t fret if you feel obscure and unrecognized. This will change, for all good things come to pass.
It’s important to recognize personality behaviors, unconquered and unsubtle, influencing daily life so we can overcome them. Know you’ve been on a “burning ground” of things difficult and surprising, like a battle. If you stand within the light of your soul, and with the angels protecting you, a great clarity and glory unfolds. You are no longer the imprisoned princess or prince in the Tower of Babel.
Esoteric Astrology as news for week June 19-25, 2014
TAURUS Apr21–May21
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21
Through what is being asked of you and a developing sensitivity, you’re learning different and more expanded self-expression. You work hard with communication, carefully organizing all information. Something in your life has recently been difficult. There is sadness, perhaps. Revelatory messages and a “familiar” (companion) appears, a shamanic experience. You respond with poise, constancy and happiness. Life changes soon.
I suggest a comparative study of religions, including the new Aquarian religion just beginning. There’s a shadow around each of us consisting of all past life events still incomplete. In your nightly review, have the intention to complete the past so you can enter into a greater “measure of life.” As you aspire toward completions, all illusions and distortions fall away. This can be grievous and sad. Then you’re “triumphant,” hearing internally, “You’ve done the right thing.”
GEMINI May 22–June 20
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20
Many things are impacting your sense of self, your values and resources. It’s most important to have right harmony and relationships with money and home. Both must be sources of safety and security even in the midst of expansion, reorganization, and new responsibilities. Pay bills on time. You may be called to care for another’s well-being. Align with the Will-to-Good in all relationships. You need more art in your life.
How are feeling these days? Do you continue to feel overloaded with solitude and silence? Are you being called to retreat more and more (with resistance and rebellion)? When there’s great solitary inner work to be done, a great achievement is occurring. Know you’re functioning fully, completely and successfully in a new world. Your individuality is being expressed differently. Don’t think this a time of disaster. Focus in each momentary present. This was the Buddha’s last teaching.
CANCER Jun21–Jul20
LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You learned in the past several years more of who you are. Now through groups in which you participate, you’re learning what values—physical, emotional, mental, moral, psychological and spiritual—are needed in order to serve others. Stabilize your monetary situation, first by listing all resources. You work hard each day maintaining your life. If you organize and maintain order with finances and resources, you will withstand all fluctuations with the dollar and the markets.
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You have allowed yourself to embrace a wider area of life leading to new discoveries about yourself. These are transformative, breaking down narrow visions, letting you wonder how to understand all of life—and realizing you can’t. But eventually you will. You’re heading to a great zenith in your life where all ambitions bear fruit. Give yourself time. Your soul is leading you. The devas in the nature kingdom are watching you. The benefits are enormous.
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 The focus of change continues to be finances, resources and possessions. It’s important to ask yourself what’s of value in your life. It’s important also to tend to money and resources with great care and consideration. Perhaps you’re asking what are all your resources for? You have many. List them, then share them. Do this now. Sharing is the new economy. Aquarians are to bring it forth first. We are given to, so we can give to others. Then the supply continues unceasingly.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22
PISCES Feb19–Mar20
It’s important to assess your true duties and responsibilities each day, at home and at work. New avenues open and new tasks will be given, creating recognition and honor. Think of all actions as service, the task of all Virgos. You already understand this. Saturn, Teacher and Dweller on the Threshold, is nearby, directing you toward many tests. They liberate you. Read each month each labor of Hercules.
Everything’s being cleared for action! Slowly and surely things are continuing their completion cycle from the past many years. Anything not finished or concluded will seek your attention. This occurs so that at a later date, you can begin a new way of life. The energy presently available is only for completing past projects, not for beginnings. Not yet. Therefore tend to this completion phase with diligence, tenderness and care.
SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | JUNE 18-24, 2014
It’s important to understand how your inner and outer worlds relate (they are two sides of the same coin). It’s important also to view the world through a dispassionate (non-judgmental) lens. It’s easy to judge, but in our present world crisis and in the world to come, judgment creates separation and tension. What are your behavioral ideals? Who personifies these? Imitate them, acting “as if.” An inner preparation is taking place. Your mind and heart are being made new.
