LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
A report in the prestigious British medical journal BMJ says that almost 1 percent of young pregnant women in the U.S. claim to be virgins. They testify that they have conceived a fetus without a sexual encounter. That’s impossible, right? Technically, yes. But if there could ever be a loophole in natural law, it would happen for you, Aries, sometime in the coming weeks. You will be so exceptionally fertile, so prone to hatching new life, that almost anything could incite germination. A vivid dream or captivating idea or thrilling adventure or exotic encounter might be enough to do the trick.
In the latter part of the 18th century, American rebels and rabble-rousers used to gather regularly in the basement of the Green Dragon Tavern in Boston. There they plotted the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere's ride, and other dissident adventures that opposed British rule. That's why the Green Dragon became known as the “Headquarters of the Revolution.� I think you and your cohorts need a place like that, Libra. It's high time for you to scheme and dream about taking coordinated actions that will spur teamwork and foster liberation.

As you weave your way through the next chapter of your story, I suggest you take inspiration from the turtle. You may even want to imagine that the turtle is your animal ally, a guide that helps you access the gradual and deliberate kind of intelligence you will need. Moving quickly will not be appropriate for the leisurely lessons that are coming your way. The point is to be deep and thorough about a few things rather than half-knowledgeable about a lot of things. There's one other turtle-like quality I hope you will cultivate, too: the ability to feel at home wherever you are.

“When one has not had a good father, one must create one,� said philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. What does that mean? How might you go about “creating� a good father? Well, you could develop a relationship with an admirable older man who is an inspiring role model. You could read books by men whose work stirs you to actualize your own potentials. If you have a vigorous inner life, you could build a fantasy dad in your imagination. Here’s another possibility: Cultivate in yourself the qualities you think a good father should have. And even if you actually had a pretty decent father, Scorpio, I’m sure he wasn’t “perfect.� So it still might be interesting to try out some of these ideas. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to get more of the fathering energy you would thrive on.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “If I seem free, it’s because I’m always running.� So said Sagittarian musician Jimi Hendrix, widely regarded as one of the most inventive and electrifying guitarists who ever lived. Does that prospect have any appeal to you, Sagittarius? I don’t, of course, recommend that you keep running for the rest of your long life. After a while, it will be wise to rest and ruminate. But I do think it might be illuminating to try this brazen approach for a week or two. If it feels right, you might also want to mix in some dancing and skipping and leaping with your running.

Diamonds are not rare. They are so numerous that if they were evenly distributed, you and I and everyone else on the planet could each have a cupful of them. And if you are ever in your lifetime going to get your personal cupful, it may happen in the next 11 months. That's because your hard work and special talent are more likely than usual to be rewarded with tangible assets. Strokes of luck will tend to manifest in the form of money and treasure and valuable things you can really use. Be alert for the clues, Cancerian. One may appear momentarily.
In the next 11 months, Capricorn, you will be given some choice riddles about the art of togetherness. To solve them, you will have to learn much more about the arts of intimacy—or else! It’s up to you: Either work your ass off as you strengthen your important relationships, or else risk watching them unravel. But don’t take this as a grim, sobering assignment. On the contrary! Play hard. Experiment freely. Be open to unexpected inspiration. Have fun deepening your emotional intelligence. That approach will work best.

America's biggest winery is E & J Gallo. It sells more wine than any other company, and has been named the planet's “Most Powerful Wine Brand� four different years. Ernest and Julio Gallo launched the enterprise in 1933 after studying the art of winemaking in pamphlets they found in the basement of a public library in Modesto, California. I foresee a less spectacular but metaphorically similar arc for you, Gemini. Sometime soon—maybe it has already happened—information or inspiration you come across in a modest setting will launch you on the path to future success. There is one caveat: You must take seriously the spark you encounter, and not underestimate it because it appears in humble circumstances.

According to the legends about Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table, the boy who would ultimately become King Arthur didn't know he was heir to the throne while he was growing up. His future destiny was hidden from him. The wizard Merlin trained him but made sure he never found out he was special. When the old King Uther Pendragon died, a tournament was staged to find a replacement. The winner would be whoever was able to withdraw the enchanted sword that was embedded in a large stone. Quite by accident, our hero got a chance to make an attempt. Success! I have reminded you of the broad outlines of this tale, Leo, because at least one of its elements resembles your destiny in the next 11 months.
VIRGO Aug23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sep22 When a crocodile slams its jaws shut, the energy it summons is powerful. But when the beast opens its jaws, the force it exerts is weak. That's because the muscles used to close are much more robust than the muscles used to open. I'm wondering if an analogous story might be told about you these days, Virgo. Are you more prone to close down than to open up? Is it easier for you to resist, avoid, and say no than it is to be receptive, extend a welcome, and say yes? If so, please consider cultivating a better balance. You need both capacities running at full strength in the coming days.
AQUARIUS Jan20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb18 Hypothesis: The exciting qualities that attract you to someone in the first place will probably drive you a bit crazy if you go on to develop a long-term relationship. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you should avoid seeking connections with intriguing people who captivate your imagination. It does suggest you should have no illusions about what you are getting yourself into. It also implies that you should cultivate a sense of humor about how the experiences that rouse your passion often bring you the best tests and trials. And why am I discussing these eccentric truths with you right now? Because I suspect you will be living proof of them in the months to come.
PISCES Feb19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Mar20 In 1961, Paul Cezanneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s painting The Artist's Sister was on display at a museum in Aix-en-Provence, France. Then a lucky event occurred: It was stolen. When it was finally recovered months later, it had been ripped out of its frame. An art restorer who was commissioned to repair it discovered that there was a previously unknown Cezanne painting on the back of the canvas. As a result, the appraisal of the original piece rose $75,000. Now both sides are on view at the St. Louis City Art Museum. I foresee a comparable progression in your life, Pisces. An apparent setback will ultimately increase your value.

CRASH FOR CARPOOLS One man spins his wheels trying to bring an unsuccessful transportation program to light BY ARIC SLEEPER
BIT BY BIT Bar Smith and Tom Beckett of Makesmith CNC, with the CNC 3-D router they built themselves.
3-D Revolution
Two UCSC students carve a niche in the world of 3-D printing with an affordable new device BY DAN BECKER
I
t’s so transformative to design something on the computer, and then be able to make it into a real object,” says 23-year-old Bar Smith, inventor of what could be the world’s most affordable CNC router. Operating like an automated sculptor, Smith’s CNC (short for computer numerical control) device allows people to carve items out of raw materials like wood, plastic, foam and brick after they’ve designed the piece on a computer. Similar to a 3-D printer, which lays down materials and builds pieces from the ground up with lasers, a CNC router instead uses metal bits to whittle the material down into the desired shape. And the router can create both two- and three-dimensional pieces, “so there
is an unlimited number of things you can make,” says Smith, who graduated from UCSC last month with an electrical engineering degree. The desktop device could be used to carve phone cases, chess boards, nameplates, or just about anything from material soft enough that it can cut and small enough to fit on the machine’s working surface, Smith says. At just over a cubic foot, this router costs less than $200, putting it at a tenth of the price of machines with similar capabilities—a big accomplishment for a 23-year old and his friends. And possibly for the entire world of 3-D printing: the invention has been met with global enthusiasm, and in May, Makesmith CNC—the start-up he founded with
Thomas Beckett—garnered 800 percent of its Kickstarter funding goal to manufacture more of the devices.
THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS A couple of years ago, Smith, a softspoken engineering student with shaggy blond hair, wanted to turn models he made on his computer into physical objects he could hold in his hand. But Smith’s success story began with a dilemma: a budget too tight to keep up with his ambitions. And the story of how he ended up with $80,000 in funding to distribute his invention to clamoring engineers, hobbyists and designers is a testament to patient perseverance.

Local business owner and activist Paul McGrath unrolls a scrolled piece of paper onto the ground, revealing a gray and white bar graph, 18 feet long. The chart on white paper has two bars, one that goes on for several yards, and another less than an inch long. It’s dramatic, but it shows the disparity between the projected figure for a transportation program’s driving reductions (the long bar) and the actual reduction in vehicle miles traveled (the shorter one). “I’ve been trying to bring attention to this because something is seriously wrong,” says McGrath, a sustainable transportation advocate. The Santa Cruz Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) received a $120,000 grant in 2008 from the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District, also called the air district, to add a carpool incentive program to its existing Commuter Solutions initiative. The incentive program was experimental, and the air district hoped that, once the RTC worked out the kinks, it would serve as a model for the rest of the region to replicate in the future. In its grant proposal, the RTC projected that the incentive program, Cash for Carpools, would reduce the amount of vehicle miles traveled in the county by approximately 8.2 million in two years. The actual reduction of miles traveled when the program ended in December 2013 was 21,000, according to the RTC—less than a quarter of a percent of its goal. “What they claimed they were going to achieve was massively exaggerated,” says McGrath, whose company RideSpring competed with the RTC for the same grant. “It was completely unrealistic.” McGrath has vocalized—and sometimes yelled—his concerns >14

Searching the Internet two years ago, Smith realized he would have a hard time affording the parts to build the machine he wanted, let alone purchase a fully assembled device. The confines of his budget forced him to economize on his project in a way professional designers are not familiar with, he says. Many people, even some professors, scoffed at his idea to build a CNC router, given his modest financial means, Smith recalls. He brushed them off and continued to work. “Anytime you’re doing something that no one’s done before, people just assume that it hasn’t been done because it can’t be done,” Smith says. Egged on by the skepticism of both professors and some online peers, Smith sought to build pieces
of the machine to prove to them, and himself, that a more affordable router was feasible. “In the first year, I thought ‘Well, I probably can’t build the whole machine but I can at least prove that I was right about this specific part being possible,’” Smith says. “And then someone would be like ‘Well, this next part won’t work.’ And I thought, ‘OK, well, I’ll make that part work just to win that argument.’” Smith’s friends attest to Smith’s hardheadedness. “That’s just what Bar is: ‘Well I’m going to try it out regardless,’”says Tom Beckett, Smith’s business partner, with a laugh. “That’s Bar.” And as Smith worked in his room, he realized that he was coming closer and closer to completing an entirely homemade CNC router. “Eventually I was like ‘Well, it’s
mostly done, so I should just probably finish,’” Smith says. At first Smith figured he would just build enough routers for himself and a few friends. “Then I thought ‘Well, maybe we should do a Kickstarter—then we could make a lot of them,’” Smith says. “‘That would be fun.’” Smith consulted Beckett, his housemate and fellow UCSC student at the time, and the two planned for the future. What had been a hobby for Smith had quickly turned into a business venture. “We sat down and said, ‘OK, if we’re going to do this, how do we get started?” says Beckett, who minored in information and technology management. “So we just sat at the laundromat and just drafted the list of ‘Here’s what we need to get. We don’t have the exact path, but we can start.’” >16

NEWS BRIEFS CHANGING COLORS When Kaleidoscope owner Sheryl Guidera talks about her toy shop and bookstore potentially closing, it’s hard for her not to tear up. A fixture of Santa Cruz for 40 years, the toy shop has been an educational store that parents and teachers have come to rely on. But Guidera, exhausted from working day and night at the store, is ready to retire. “Every day I wake up and I love it,” says Guidera, who took over from the original owner in 1983, “but I want to travel with my husband.” Recently, Guidera has seen how online sites such as Amazon.com have attracted her business. Guidera believes the store, located on Bay Avenue in Capitola, often serves as a showcase for merchandise that people will eventually
buy online (a practice called “showrooming.”) If someone were to buy the store from Guidera, she sees this as a perfect chance to explore online opportunities. “This is a big challenge,” Guidera says, “because the Internet has come in and it’s really hurt us.” At this point, Guidera is waiting to pass on the baton to someone new. With a staff of just 10 people, Kaleidoscope has already been on sale for about six months, but Guidera has no intention of waiting around another six months and wants to retire before summer ends. For now, Guidera just anxiously hopes for someone in the community to step up and help continue what has been her baby for three decades. “We need more locals to support other locals,” she says.

OUTGROWING HOME A chapter in Santa Cruz’s underground scene ended when the Food Not Lawns cooperative on Laurel Street closed down—or at least moved—this month. The house, which the owners decided to put on the market, had long been a space for Free Skool events and an informal music venue. Food Not Lawns focused on growing food and building community, both for housemates and for visitors. “Our goal was to have food we could eat and be a supportive community for each other and whatever projects we wanted to dream up,” says Wesley Somers, who lived at Food Not Lawns during its last year. (Somers has lived in a couple of other intentional communities in Santa Cruz that have since disbanded or moved, including the Cesar Chavez
Co-op, once on Beach Hill.) Peter Cook of Lighthouse Realty, which will manage the sale, says the homeowners decided to sell for “personal financial reasons.” “We had put it off for a few years because we enjoyed having them as tenants,” Cook says, “but the real estate market’s stronger now.” When they left, Somers and some other housemates took the Laurel Manor and the Food Not Lawns signs with them to a new home in Upper Ocean. There, they hope to continue some of the missions of the old co-op. “We have this new house that has space for a garden and space for community events and workshops,” he says, “and that’s our intention to keep doing that. I don’t know what other systemic things are going to be left over from the Food Not Lawns house of yore.” JACOB PIERCE

about what he considers a fraudulent grant application for an unsuccessful program at various RTC and air district meetings. In boisterous presentations, he has often refused to end his rants at the end of the three-minute speaking window. RTC commissioners called for a recess and walked out on McGrath on one occasion, and has had security personnel escort him out at others, as they did on June 26, when McGrath attempted to present his 18-foot graph. “I have been kicked out of some of them,” says McGrath. “I am angry about this, and I’m angry because I see an agency whose job it is to implement effective traffic pollution reductions taking steps to prevent that from happening.” McGrath, an engineer hailing from the

United Kingdom, launched RideSpring, in 2004. The company provides businesses with an incentive program that encourages its employees to carpool, walk, bus, or bike to work, using gift cards to local businesses as the incentive. RideSpring clients have included both public entities such as the City of Santa Cruz, and private companies like Gap. In 2008, McGrath hoped to add Cabrillo College to that client list. After RideSpring provided the community college with a free, six-month trial, the institution applied for grant funding to pay for and continue RideSpring’s services. Unfortunately for McGrath and the college, the RTC had applied for the same Assembly Bill 2766 grant, which is derived from a $4 vehicle registration
fee to fund clean-air projects, and is distributed by the air district. The air district awarded the grant to the RTC for its proposed rideshare program, effectively ending RideSpring’s work with Cabrillo. But McGrath says losing a client is not the primary reason for his tireless campaign. “I definitely wanted to sell Cabrillo,” says McGrath. “But at the same time, it was overwhelming to me that the system was broken, and my main focus now is the actions of the RTC.” The RTC spent more than a year developing the Cash for Carpools program and a website, before officially launching in June 2010. But the program was fraught with problems, according to Karena Pushnik, senior transportation planner at the RTC. In an emailed statement to GT,
Pushnik says the air district’s strict datagathering requirements for the program served as a hindrance to participants. The company which provided the initial data tracking system for the website stopped doing so, and Pushnik states the method the RTC ultimately employed was not user-friendly. She also points out that the incentives provided to the participants in the RTC’s program were not enough to overcome the burden of the data-gathering required. In 2012, McGrath composed a report stating the RTC was wasting public funds, and sent it to public officials, but never received a response. He continued to bring the issue to meetings and public hearings even after January 2014, when the air district, seeing the lack of results, terminated the AB 2766 funding a month before the grant expired. In the end, the RTC used $33,736 of the $120,000 grant, and the unspent money went back into the air district’s grant pool. The RTC spent an additional $27,684 on the project, which it did not bill to the air district. Overall, more than $60,000 was spent on a pilot program that produced less than 1 percent of its projected results, and no longer exists. So, where are the other transportation activists rushing to support McGrath? Several sustainable transportation advocates who once supported McGrath, have distanced themselves in recent years and were unwilling to speak to GT about his efforts. Some blame McGrath’s outspoken criticism of the RTC and what they call questionable methods. Last April Fool’s Day, for instance, McGrath fabricated an apology letter to Cabrillo College from RTC executive director George Dondero, using the RTC letterhead and Dondero’s forged signature. Although Cash for Carpools is now defunct, McGrath remains focused on bringing the program to light because he perceives it as an indicator of an enduring, cyclical problem. “I see this not just as an isolated project, but a long term chronic problem,” says McGrath. “This program was supposed to be a fix of the old program, and I see this cycle of programs that fail and need more money. This is just the latest in a decades-long problem.”

The two posted a listing to Kickstarter, setting their goal at $10,000 to fund the purchase of two large laser cutters for manufacture of Makesmith CNC’s router for sale and distribution before Beckett left for work one morning. “I got back nine hours later and our project was funded,” Beckett says. The incredible success of the Kickstarter campaign did not stop there. By the end of the month-long fundraising period, the campaign raised more than $80,000 from over 400 backers in more than 40 countries. “I was completely terrified,” Smith says. “We were both working in restaurants and when I sat down and did the math I was like ‘This is the amount of money I would make if I did what I’m doing for the next, like, many years.’” Currently, the team is waiting on large laser cutters to arrive so that they can begin manufacturing the CNC router kits and ship them out to the backers on Kickstarter who pledged $195 or more to the fundraising. “We’re trying to keep up with the people who want [the router],” says Justin Beirold, a former Cabrillo student, currently studying at UC Berkeley and doing marketing for Makesmith. “At this point we’re not even trying to attract people to our product. Right now, people are just coming to us, like ‘This is awesome, I want one.’” One interested customer could be MakersFactory, a 3-D printing company in Santa Cruz. “Our laser cutter isn’t even able to do soft metals, which is in the range of five to fifteen thousand dollars,” says Joe Allington, a teacher and designer at MakersFactory. “The fact that you’re able to work with materials hardier than what some powerful laser cutters can manage with a machine that’s under $200 would be pretty exciting.” But the enthusiasm surrounding Makesmith’s router is best summed up by the group’s favorite message from a supporter: “It was from Japan,” Smith says. The email just said: ‘Can’t speak much English. Maximum stoked.’”

CCABRILLO ABRILL L O FFESTIVAL’S ESTIVAL’S M MARIN ARIN ALSOP ALSOP IS IS BACK BACK TO TO ‘ROCK ‘ROCK TTHE HE B BOAT OAT OF OF TRADITION’ TRADITION’
Thiis year’s Cab abrillo Festival program sh howcase o s what what has become an Alsop sig gnat ature—a rich diversity of comp mposiing styles and a diverse array of feat featurred instruments. “I’m seeing many ny orchestras really ly interested in alt lternat atiive presentat ations for fo their listenerss,” she says. “Not just violin concerto os, but ut banjo, guitar, saxo xophone—tthese add a new dimension to the peerfo formance. After all, great at music is great mu at music, mu regardless of instrum ment ntation.” Alsop pointed out thaat her own early ly con ncerts invariab ably ly showcased cross-over thinking. “I was feat fe aturin ng artists using unexpected instrum ments. Or classical artists playing jazz. j It changes things up,” up she says. “And our festival fe does that, changess things up—it up has to rock the boat att of tradition.” Alsop has her prioritiees. “We We should reconsider
everything—that at’s wh whaat we try to do with the fe festival. There are very fe f few rules that at can’t be broken.” Indeed, rule-breaking rules this season’s Cabrillo Festival off Contemporary Music, bringing more than we bargained for, fo and d all the musical mu adventure we expecct. Here are a few in-depth glimpses of this season’s line-u up. p
BANJO BENT
Béla Fleck is a world-class artist with a remarkable name and a awe-inspiring specialty. He wriites and d perfo forms genre-defying claassical music on a banjo, the belov ved vernacular instrument of bluegrrass Appalachia. With 15 Grammys under his belt, Fleck recently responded to a commission from the t Nashville Symphony with a con ncer-
to for fo banjo and orchesttra entitled The Im Impostor, dedicated d to banjo maestro Earl Scruggs. I caught up with Fleck for fo a brief Q Q& &A befo fore his festival fe opening perrfo formance on Aug. 1. GT: Why do many listteners have trouble grasping the e banjo as a serious instrument? Béla Fleck: Preco onceptions are based on w whaat one has h heard up till the time of new inpu ut. The folks fo who haven’t heard banjjo play serious music may never haave thought it would be worth listen ning to. I find thaat people seem to be rrefreshed by hearing the banjo plaayed in a contemporary way. In my m opinion, bluegrass is also serious music, bu ut it has some baggage—m mostly accumulated from movies liike Bonnie and Cly lyde and Deliveran nce.

<30 and confident abandon. The redwood stage, as well as its company of players, practically levitates when he’s on board hatching his plan to seduce two middle-class matrons of Windsor out of their husband’s wealth. Once the wives, Mistress Ford (Julie Coffey) and Mistress Page (Greta Wohlrabe), get wind of his scheme, Falstaff himself becomes the target of the caper. The central plot is cross-cut and sabotaged at every turn by a cast of supremely witless boobs—the Welsh parson Sir Hugh Evans (a dazzling display of physical humor by Kit Wilder); a French physician (the hysterical William Elsman, who channels both Peter Sellers and Sasha Baron-Cohen in mangling the King’s English); and a “helpful” go-between, Mistress Quickly (Carly Cioffi, energetic and brisk in her verbal butchery). The play builds its treasure of ambidextrous trickery thanks to a few key and brilliant performances. Playing at least two different sets of helpful nitwits are Brandon Blum, Mike Ryan, and Lucas Brandt as the immortal trio of Pistol, Nym and Bardolph—committing logo-larceny with every utterance, and matching the wordplay with physical pyrotechnics. The show-stopping scene in which Falstaff is spirited away in a wicker laundry basket is brilliant in every dimension. But Blum and Brandt's priceless body
language provides the coup de grace of drop-dead hilarity. Cross Laverne and Shirley with Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett, and you have the flashy duo of Coffey and Wohlrabe, who dispatch the men—husbands, village idiots, and of course Sir John—with impeccable timing and obvious relish. Yet if I had to single out one moment of almost unbelievable comedic delirium, it would be the stunning scene in which Mistress Ford’s husband (Mark Anderson Phillips) disguises himself and approaches Falstaff with a plan for entrapping both the seducer and his merry prey. Phillips tears up the redwood glen with an arsenal of vocal acrobatics, lurches, stutters, tics, and twitches John Cleese would kill for. The opening night audience was flat-out undone by this actor’s chops. Kudos to the entire company, and as for the robust and ribald Ziman—whose well-timed wit and well-placed corpulence commands this play from start to finish—as the play says, the world’s his oyster! Shakespeare at his silliest, naughtiest, and wisest—to see this Merry Wives is to enjoy the birth of fifth grade humor, scripted by a genius. Santa Cruz Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare, directed by Kirsten Brandt, runs through Aug. 10 at the Festival Glen at UCSC. For tickets, go to santacruzshakespeare.org.

Santa Cruz expat Yoodoo Park reduces indie-pop to its essence in GRMLN BY AARON CARNES
T
he first GRMLN EP Explore is really short—like 16 minutes long—and that includes seven songs, with each tune coming in at about the two-minute mark. Santa Cruz expat Yoodoo Park, the lone figure behind GRMLN, actually recorded a bunch more songs, but paired it down to what he felt was the most interesting material, both in terms of the amount of songs and the length of each individual song. The EP was a surprise hit via the Internet in 2012. Music bloggers picked up on it. Carpark Records
reached out to Park to issue it on vinyl. The music is an odd take on garage-rock, with clean channel guitars, stiff drums, and dreamy, muddled vocals, with everything recorded really rough around the edges. But at its core, it’s a short, concise, and catchy pop record. “I want to make music that’s poppy sounding, but I still want to make music that is a little bit grungy. It’s like a mixture of both— not completely just pop,” says the 21-year-old Park. But there was no intention for the songs to make it on any album.
Park recorded the music in his bedroom—some songs while still in high school, some while in college— and uploaded it onto Bandcamp with no thought that anyone would even hear it. But it caught on. “It wasn’t even a side thing,” says Park. “It was just for me, experimenting, that kind of stuff.” Though Park currently resides in Southern California, he’s jumped around to San Francisco—and, for a couple of years during college, Santa Cruz. After Carpark released the album, Park assembled a band so he could
start playing shows. By that time, he had new material for a follow-up record. He used his band to record the songs, rather than 4-track everything himself again. The album, Empire, was released last year, and is heavier and faster, with an almost pop-punk flair to it. “I changed the musical direction pretty often,” Park says. “I get bored of doing one thing. Within the next year I’ll probably change again. It’s more natural for me to keep changing.” The songs and the overall album length are still short, clocking in at 24 minutes. And just like with Explore, Park cut any song he didn’t think was up to par, and melted each down to its most fundamental pop essence. “The way I make songs is I make a catchy melody, or catchy chorus, or a catchy guitar riff,” he says. “We create out of that. I was trying to get to the point. I wasn’t really thinking about anything,” This Sunday, GRMLN hits Santa Cruz on what is the band’s first official headlining tour, having played a handful of tours in the main support slot. GRMLN comes to town with a lot of new material, and an album is expected out this September called Soon Away. Judging from the couple of songs that have already been released, Soon Away should sound musically like Empire, but with longer, more complex arrangements. Plus, Park says the lyrics and sound are darker. “I feel like it’s moody. That’s just the way that I see it, the way I interpret my own music,” he says. “It’s darker, in general—lyrically for sure, and sonically as well. There’s definitely been a lot of life changes for me, for sure. I think there’s a lot of dark stuff because there’s a lot of weird stuff that’s happened to me. When the lyrics are like that, it’s easier for the music to be darker as well.” Park says that he’s already working on newer material. “When Empire was released, we already started playing newer songs that hadn’t been released,” Park says. “We get bored of playing the same songs over and over again.” GRMLN will perform at 9 p.m. Sunday, July 27. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

Andrew Jackson Jihad’s darkly funny anthems have gained a cult following, one text at a time BY STEVE PALOPOLI
36
I
n 2010, a friend sent me a text that just said “Andrew Jackson Jihad.” Not many bands can inspire this kind of text, because it reveals the ultimate confidence the sender has in his or her recommendation. It had no context, no description; in fact, no relevant information whatsoever. And yet, I instinctively knew not to wait for another, more explanatory text. I also knew not to text back “This is a band, right?” or “What about them?” or any response at all. I didn’t feel the need to seek out their music, or even Google them. Deep down, I guess I knew this was a sleeper-cell text. It
required no action at that moment. Everything, this text promised, would become clear in due time. That time finally came when I saw Andrew Jackson Jihad open for Against Me! at the Catalyst a couple of years ago. Right away, there was something about them that reminded me of what I love about the Mountain Goats: punk energy channeled into a mostly acoustic fury; smart lyrics that begged for repeat listens, just to let me wrap my mind around them; and a constantly off-kilter delivery from lead singer Sean Bonnette that doesn’t always allow the listener to be sure if he’s being dead serious, completely sarcastic or somewhere in-between.
This was especially true on fan favorite “Survival Song,” which in the course of explaining the many ways Bonnette supposedly learned how to survive, contains the lines “and I fed false information to the audience” and “we just handed you a giant load of gibberish”—theoretically negating his own song entirely. (Or does it? See? Brain go ouch.) Even more unexpectedly, it breaks momentarily into Woody Guthrie’s “Do-Re-Mi.” For some reason, that was the moment my friend’s text popped back into my head. “Oh, right,” I thought. “Andrew Jackson Jihad.” With AJJ returning to Santa Cruz
to play the Rio on Tuesday, July 29 (they also played a great show at the Crepe Place last fall), I asked Bonnette what inspired the Guthrie interpolation that messed with my brain. “That’s a thing I would largely credit to hip-hop,” he says. “It’s kind of like a sample.” Andrew Jackson Jihad’s music is often labeled folk-punk, and some influences on the Phoenix-based band—primarily the duo of Bonnette on guitar and Ben Gallaty on upright bass—are more obviously apparent, like Neutral Milk Hotel, Silver Jews and most of all the aforementioned Mountain Goats. But Bonnette says that hip-hop has actually been a model for his songwriting in many ways, not the least of which is the sheer number of jokes he tries to pack into his songs. (This starts with the titles, which include “The Michael Jordan of “Drunk Driving,” “People,” “People II: The Reckoning,” and “People II 2: Still Peoplin’.”) But he thinks that “I kind of overdo it.” “Rappers get it right,” he says of the humor balance. “I’m trying to get it right.” Then, conversely, there’s the dark subject matter of their songs, many of which take at least a peek, and sometimes a long stare, into the dark side of human existence. (“Do, Re and Me” on AJJ’s new record Christmas Island, for instance, is not another Guthrie shout-out, but rather a song about the Heaven’s Gate suicide cult.) The songs “Murderer” and “Lady Killer,” both from the point of view of the titular protagonists, seemed to have forever linked Andrew Jackson Jihad to “songs about serial killers” on the Internet, but Bonnette doesn’t seem to mind, or attach too much importance to the subject matter he takes on at any given time. If he writes a song about a vampire, he says, it may be because he really wants to get inside the state of mind of a monster. “Or,” he says, “I could have just watched a vampire movie, and want to entertain myself by writing a song about vampires.” Andrew Jackson Jihad perform Tuesday, July 29, at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz. Tickets are $12 advance, $15 at the door.

WALLACE NICHOLS, BLUE MIND The founder of OceanRevolution.org, Wallace Nichols is a research associate at the California Academy of Sciences and author of Blue Mind—an investigation into how proximity to water sources might just make us happier. While most of us know the hydrating benefits of the good ol’ H2O, Nichols is on a mission to reconnect coastal dwellers to a slower, minimalist lifestyle, and rediscover the emotional connection to the oceans. Dan Haifley, executive director of O’Neill Sea Odyssey, and Santa Cruz County Treasurer Fred Keeley will read parts of Nichols’ book. Snacks will be provided by Ninkasi Brewing, Pizza My Heart, Shopper’s Corner, and the Picnic Basket, but bring your own beverage containers to help make this a zero-waste event. Info: July 25.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND Alice in Wonderland is one of those stories that can quickly take on a very existential, philosophical tone, and oftentimes life can feel a lot like chasing a Mad Hatter through a world of talking caterpillars and tea parties.

THURSDAY 7/31 LECTURE AND WRITING PRACTICE WITH MAX STROM “There’s an app for that”—well, not this time. One of the few things that can’t be found at the tips of your fingers is fulfillment, as author Max Strom asserts in his book There is No App for Happiness. Strom will lead a seminar to address those little anxieties that are inescapable, those voices that keep you up at night, and work through ways to refocus inwards and strive for personal growth. Challenging people to see the world differently is a motive for this seminar, with Strom’s method of “Inner Axis” as a guiding principle towards accessing the internal depths of emotional life, as well as human’s potential for healing.

STELLAR CORPSES
JULY 23-29, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
As long as he can remember, local musician Dustan Sheehan has been in love with ’50s and ’60s pop culture—specifically, old horror movies and early rock ‘n’ roll. He’s been marrying these two obsessions the past decade with his horror-punk group Stellar Corpses. They wear dark clothes, sport an upright bass and sing songs about vampires and goblins. But instead of playing traditional swinging rockabilly, they lean toward pop-punk territory.
46
“None of us are really good rockabilly musicians, so it just comes out more simplified. I think that brings the pop-punk element to it,” says Sheehan.
WEDNESDAY 7/23
But despite the scary-movie subject matter, their songs aren’t really spooky. They have more of a camp element instead. Everybody in the band likes different music, but the Misfits is the one band they can all agree on, Sheehan in particular. He’s devoted thousands of listening hours to them, dissecting their lyrics, trying to figure out which B horror movie each song is referencing.
For more than a decade, Bongo Love has been electrifying audiences around the world with what they call “afrocoustic” music—their unique fusion of afrobeat and instruments from their native Zimbabwe. Now, with a full drumset and a female vocalist as part of the mix, this vibrant band is continuing to evolve. Their penchant for performing lively dances on stage has earned them legions of fans, as has touring with the likes of Vieux Farka Touré and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The band just released their fourth album, which is self-titled, earlier this year.
Sheehan wants to have that same quality in his songs. Some are obvious, like “Cemetery Man” which is about the movie of the same name, whereas their tune “Vampire Kiss” more covertly references The Lost Boys. “There’s always an element of tonguein-cheek,” says Sheehan. “That’s my favorite kind of stuff. I don’t try to take myself too seriously, or my songwriting, or this band. It’s all about having fun.” AARON CARNES INFO: 8:30 p.m. Saturday, July 26.

3 LEG TORSO Two decades ago, when 3 Leg Torso formed in Portland, they were a ragtag orchestral trio consisting of a violin, accordion and cello. They were part avant-garde classical ensemble,
part circus band, opting to perform on street corners more often than on an actual stage. Over time, the group expanded to a five-piece band, utilizing drums, bass and keys, and has broadened their sound considerably. They are one of the weirdest chamber groups currently touring, with strong elements of Eastern European folk, klezmer and cabaret. There is a classical elegance to their music, but it’s also very playful and innovative. AARON CARNES

ROCKABILLY
ROSIE FLORES Rosie Flores' Texas origins are hard to miss, as she’s been rounding people up to the dance floor with her rockabilly and country sound for almost two decades. Armed with her guitar and an upbeat attitude, Flores brings true spunk and attitude to the stage, along with prowess as a skilled guitar player and singer. Recording albums since 1987, Flores is a rockabilly legend, performing with the aptly named "Queen of Rockabilly," Wanda Jackson. Performing at the Austin City Limits music festival, Flores is so treasured by Austin, Texas that the Austin City Council
named Aug. 31st Rosie Flores Day. SYDNEY MOORHEAD

DESTROY THE NIGHT W/ JAMES DURBIN Santa Cruz loves James Durbin. After he was voted off of American Idol in 2011, he played to an insanely large crowd of 30,000 on the Boardwalk, backed by the White Album Ensemble. He may have only finished fourth, but he’s gotten famous internationally because he brought a unique heavy metal and hardrock edge to the show—wrapped, of course, in pop music. This Friday, along with Dale Ockerman from the White Album Ensemble and several of Ockerman’s musician friends, Durbin plays tribute to two of the greatest rock bands of all time: Led Zeppelin and the Doors. They are performing a set as each band in a classic doublebill-style show. AC INFO: 8 p.m. The Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $20. 423-8209.

BE OUR GUEST AS YOU LIKE IT You could almost hear the collective gasp when Shakespeare Santa Cruz called it quits last year. But local appreciators of the bard were not to be denied. Santa Cruz Shakespeare stepped in to bridge the gap, and is currently in its first run, kicking things off with As You Like It. Featuring what GT’s Christina Waters called “a smart cast of professionals, most of whom are familiar to audiences from past seasons in the glen,” the production features sibling quarrels, murder plots, love and cross-dressing, as well as some of Shakespeare’s more famous quotes including “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” | CAT JOHNSON

I wish I could just play you a bit of Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band’s music right now. It’s not for everyone, but for those with a soft spot for deep country-blues, hard-living folk music and a no bullshit delivery, this band is a homerun. Led by the barrel-chested Reverend J. Peyton, whose voice sounds like it’s being teleported in from 1910 via a tin can, the trio out of Indianapolis plays ass-moving, uncomplicated songs about life, love and just getting through it all. Recommended if you like porch jams, well-worn overalls and dancing in cowboy boots. CJ

One of the sickest drum-and-bass combos of all time, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare joined forces in the mid-1970s, and became the go-to rhythm section for the legendary Jamaican studio, Channel One. Not content to ride the same wave for long, Sly & Robbie, nicknamed the Riddim Twins, continually evolve their sound, experimenting with electronics, dancehall and fusion, and collaborating with a wide range of musicians including Grace Jones, Michael Franti, the Rolling Stones and Ben Harper, not to mention a who’s who roster of reggae artists. The duo’s latest incarnation is with their full band, the Taxi Gang, featuring vocalist Bitty McLean. CAT JOHNSON
Association label in 2011, and has turned down offers from major labels because of a desire to make it on his own terms. His work ethic shines through in his releases, particularly on his latest album—the aptly titled By Any Means—which landed on Billboard’s Top 20 upon its release earlier this year. Known as much for his engaging delivery as he is for his insightful social commentary and electric beats, Gates is proving to be a creative force to be reckoned with. BP

FILM
SCREEN AND SCREEN AGAIN Steve James brings Roger Ebert’s autobiography to life in a new documentary.
Roger That JULY 23-29, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM
The late film critic Roger Ebert is profiled in Steve James’ lively documentary ‘Life Itself’ BY LISA JENSEN
52
Y
ou don’t have to be a movie buff to enjoy Life Itself, the fascinating documentary about the late film critic Roger Ebert. It’s not like you’re going to be subjected to a lot of obscure intellectual pronouncements on the art of cinema. Instead, the film, adapted by Steve James from Ebert’s best-selling memoir, is a lively chronicle of a robust life buoyantly lived, and the bittersweet final days of the Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic, early pioneer of the duelingcritics TV format, and courageous cancer warrior. Filmmaker James may be best known for co-directing the extraordinary 1994 documentary Hoop Dreams. A three-hour exploration into the lives of two inner city youths hoping their skills on the basketball
court will get them into the right high school and out of the projects, the ambitious film was like an entire season of a reality TV show in one giant installment. As unorthodox as it was, it was championed by Ebert and co-host Gene Siskel on their nationally syndicated TV program, Sneak Previews; they never missed an opportunity to tell people to go see it. So James comes from a position of obvious respect and friendship as he documents Ebert’s rich and busy life. Through a wealth of family snapshots and interviews with old cronies, we meet Roger as a boy in suburban Illinois. The only child of an electrician and a housewife, he was obsessed with newspapers and writing early on, and used to type up his own neighborhood “newspaper,” make copies, roll them up, and deliver
them to his neighbors’ doorsteps. He started out as a sportswriter for a local paper at age 15, then became the editor of his college newspaper— where he wrote about world events like the JFK assassination. As a Ph.D candidate at the University of Chicago, he was offered a temporary job on the staff at the Chicago Sun-Times. In an unforeseen turn of events (but typical for so many critics, including me), when the film critic at the paper retired, Ebert inherited the job. The film recounts Ebert’s stint as a regular raconteur and borderline lush at a seedy Chicago bar where newspapermen hung out, his decision to stop drinking in 1979, and, of course, the origins of Sneak Previews. Produced by Chicago's NPR station, WGN, beginning in 1975, and featuring Ebert and Siskel, his cross-
town rival from the Chicago Tribune, the show ushered in the era of the celebrity film critic. (Interestingly, as wildly popular as the show was in syndication all over the country, the last two markets to grudgingly begin airing it were New York and Los Angeles—whose film communities resented these upstart critics from the Midwest.) The complex, snarky, often combative relationship between Ebert and Siskel, on and off-camera, is a thread that runs throughout the film. But their understanding of show-biz was acute; they were frequent guests together on The Tonight Show. And Ebert parlayed his reconcilability into some 25 years of dispatches from the Cannes Film Festival, filing daily newspaper stories and broadcast snippets long before the invention of modern social media (although in later years he established popular Twitter and Facebook accounts). The other relationship that glues the film together is between Roger and his wife, Chaz, whom the lifelong bachelor married when he was 50 years old. Chaz and her daughter and grandchildren provided the stability of a family life that Roger had never had. And it’s Chaz’s strength and good humor that supports him through his disfiguring battle with thyroid cancer in the later years of his life. When surgeries rendered him unable to eat, drink, or speak, Ebert continued to write about movies on his blog. “The blog became my voice,” he wrote. Some eloquent moments come from filmmakers who credit Ebert with starting or saving their careers. Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Errol Morris says persistent praise for his first film on Sneak Previews “gave me my career.” Martin Scorsese even praises Ebert’s disappointment over his The Color of Money—not a “toxic” or “poisonous” review, notes Scorsese, just a respectful nudge—for getting him back on track creatively. In James’ affectionate telling, Ebert’s life itself was bountiful indeed. LIFE ITSELF *** (out of four) With Roger Ebert and Chaz Ebert. A Film by Steve James. A Magnolia release. Not rated. 115 minutes.

FILM
NEW THIS WEEK
Starts Friday.
AND SO IT GOES Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton star in this autumnal rom-com from director Rob Reiner. He plays a crusty, misanthropic realtor suddenly saddled with taking care of a granddaughter he never even knew he had. She’s the empathetic neighbor he tries to palm the child off on, hoping to resume his selfish life uninterrupted. Newcomer Sterling Jerins co-stars. (PG-13) Starts Friday.
A MOST WANTED MAN Philip Seymour Hoffman stars in this political thriller adapted from the John Le Carre novel about an illegal Muslim immigrant in Hamburg who gets caught up in the international war on terror. Rachel McAdams, Willem Dafoe, and Robin Wright costar for director Anton Corbijn. (R) 122 minutes. Starts Friday. CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES This informal movie discussion group meets at the Del Mar mezzanine in downtown Santa Cruz. Movie junkies are invited to join in on Wednesday nights to pursue the elusive and ineffable meanings of cinema. Discussion begins at 7 p.m. and admission is free. For more information visit groups.google. com/group/LTATM.
BOYHOOD Critics are going nuts over this audacious idea for a movie from Richard Linklater. It’s a scripted drama about family life and growing up in the new millennium, but it was shot over a period of 12 years while the actors age in real time. Ellar Coltrane goes from age six to 18 in the lead role. Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette costar. (R) 166 minutes. Starts Friday.
NOW PLAYING
HERCULES Dwayne Johnson stars as the muscleman of Greek mythology in this revisionist take on the classical myth, adapted from the graphic novel by Steve Moore. Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell, Joseph Fiennes, Peter Mullan, and John Hurt co-star for director Brett Ratner (Rush Hour; X-Men: The Last Stand). (PG-13) 98 minutes. Starts Friday.
BEGIN AGAIN Writer-director John Carney (Once) tries to make lightning strike again in this musical romance. Keira Knightley stars as a small-town girl struggling in the Village folk scene of New York after her rising star boyfriend (Adam Levine) dumps her. Mark Ruffalo is a scruffy, former record exec who wants to make her a star. (R) 101 minutes.
I ORIGINS Writer-director Mike Cahill and star Brit Marling, from Another Earth, re-team for this metaphysical sci-fi drama about a molecular biologist and his lab partner, studying the evolution of the eye, who stumble upon a discovery that challenges everything they think they know about reality, science, and spirituality. Michael Pitt, Steven Yeun, and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey costar. (R) 113 minutes. Starts Friday.
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. Peter Stormare and Ice Cube co-star for co-directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (The Lego Movie; Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs). (R) 105 minutes.
LUCY Starting from the premise that humans only use 10 percent of their brain power, Luc Besson’s thriller stars Scarlett Johansson as a woman whose brain is experimentally amped up to bionic levels—turning her into (what else?) a merciless warrior. Morgan Freeman co-stars. (R) 90 minutes.
CHEF Jon Favreau wrote and directed this fun feast for foodies, in which he stars as a top chef who quits his job at an L.A. restaurant over creative differences with the owner (Dustin Hoffman). 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. HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 In this sequel to the hugely popular, family-friendly animated fantasy, boy-hero Hiccup has grown into a young man, and he and his buddies are perfecting the sport of dragon racing with the flying dragons recently introduced into the culture of their Viking island. But while exploring unchartered territories with his beloved pet dragon, Toothless, Hiccup discovers a secret that threatens the new peace between humans and dragons. Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Gerard Butler, Cate Blanchett, Jonah Hill, and Kristen Wiig provide voices. Dean DeBlois directs. (PG) 102 minutes. 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. JERSEY BOYS Director Clint Eastwood makes no attempt to disguise the stage origins of his film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical. Why tamper with success? To his credit, he insisted on casting three of the Four Seasons in his film with alumni from various stage productions (including Tony-winner John Lloyd Young, who originated the role of Frankie Valli
on Broadway). These guys can all sing like the dickens, and the movie sounds great. If there proves to be more backstory than the film can handle, still, it’s an entertaining songfest with a breakout performance by Vincent Piazza as ne’er-do-well Tommy DeVito. (R) 134 minutes. (**1/2)—Lisa Jensen. LIFE ITSELF Reviewed this issue. (Not Rated) 115 minutes. (***)— 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. OBVIOUS CHILD Jenny Slate stars as an aspiring stand-up comic trying to navigate real life, in all its unpredictable messiness (a lost job; an unwanted pregnancy) with the same fearless aplomb she applies to her stage act. Gaby Hoffman and Jake Lacy co-star for writer-director Gillian Robespierre. (R) 85 minutes. PLANES: FIRE AND RESCUE The second installment of Disney’s Cars-in-the-sky franchise relocates hero Dusty (voice of Dane Cook) from the world of air-racing to a fleet of aerial firefighters protecting a national park. Ed Harris, Julie Bowen, Wes Studi, and Captain Dale Dye provide additional voices. Roberts Gannaway directs. (PG) 83 minutes. THE PURGE: ANARCHY It’s hard to imagine what would constitute “anarchy” within the premise of this-near-future horror franchise in which, one night a year, the authorities look the other way while vigilantes are free to run amok in the streets and murder at will. (Hmmm...maybe it’s not so “futuristic” after all...) Nevertheless, writer-director James DeMonaco is back with a new cast of potential
victims. Zach Gilford, Frank Grillo, and Kiele Sanchez star. (R) 103 minutes. SEX TAPE Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz star in this comedy about a married couple trying to spice up their romantic life; shooting a private video of themselves trying out every position in The Joy of Sex leads to a night of hysteria as they try to prevent their video from going viral. Jake Kasdan directs. (R) 90 minutes. TAMMY Melissa McCarthy stars in this road comedy as a mildmannered store clerk who loses her job and ditches her cheating husband to hit the road with her crusty, hard-drinking grandma (Susan Sarandon). Dan Aykroyd and Mark Duplass co-star for actorturned-director Ben Falcone. (R) 97 minutes. TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION The giganto-bot franchise gets a reboot with a new cast of humans to interact with the CGI stars. Mark Wahlberg plays an auto mechanic who finds a forgotten spare part that morphs into a Transformer—and it’s game-on once more for a planet-trashing showdown between Autobots and Decepticons. Stanley Tucci, Li Bingbing , Kelsey Grammer, and Sophia Myles co-star for director Michael Bay. Bring your earplugs. (PG-13) 166 minutes. VENUS IN FUR Adapted from the stage play by David Ives, which was inspired by the works of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (the Austrian writer who put the “M” in S&M), Roman Polanski’s two-character drama is a witty meditation on sex and sexism, and the corruption of the notion of love by less wholesome desires. Essentially a dialogue between an actress (Emmanuelle Seigner) arriving late for an audition, and a touchy director (Mathieu Amalric) in an empty Paris theater after hours, it doesn’t trade in graphic sex; instead, it’s something far more cerebral, smart, and surprising. (Not rated) 95 minutes. (***)— Lisa Jensen.

FOOD & DRINK a perfect climate for Burgundian varietals. “In the valley, warm sunny days are cooled in the evenings by ocean breezes,” says viticulturist and winemaker Steve Storrs. “These factors allow for a wine that is wellbalanced and filled with bright notes of mountain pear, ripe pippin and a long, lingering buttery finish,” Pam adds. Details at storrswine.com.
RED WINE OF THE WEEK Don’t miss the 2011 installment of Thomas Fogarty’s hugely likeable Skyline, a luscious Bordeaux-style blend with a happy $14.99 price tag. This smartly balanced wine only tastes expensive. Big tannins, gorgeous flavor, 14.5 percent. Think beef.
WHITE WINE OF THE WEEK A 2012 Sauvignon Blanc—part of the Whites line from Windy Oaks—filled with Monterey grapes. Unusually unctuous for a light alcohol creation (13.3 percent), this atypical SB offers saltiness, honeydew, and bay leaves. Winemaker Jim Schultz has worked a bit of voodoo and made a white that can stand up to charcuterie and cheeseburgers. What’s not to like? $14.99. TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL This year’s crop of fresh fruit at local farmers markets is remarkable. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER
Time is Ripe
H
ave you checked out the fruit harvests coming in lately? Well, now is the exact moment of perfection for cherries, blueberries and nectarines, which seem to be better this year than I’ve ever tasted them. Head to your nearest farmers market and scoop up some of the local fruit harvest. Nectarines are superb right now. Cherries are abundant and sparkling with crunch, richness and a touch of tart. And the blueberries. Off the hook—especially those from the UCSC Farm & Garden and available at the Tuesday and Friday produce
cart located at the foot of campus, at the intersection of Bay and High Streets. We do not remember ever having blueberries this brilliant. Also note: Live Earth Farm always has superior greens and herbs, but now in addition to peppery cresses, they’ve got plump, lemony-flavored purslane. This pretty veggie (see Shakespeare for purslane puns) makes a graceful visual statement for your next salad featuring the hot-off-the-farm Early Girl tomatoes (dry-farmed, of course, for maximum sweetness and flavor) from Dirty Girl Produce. Yes! Nature is just the best.
VITI-CULTURED Kudos—again!—to Pamela and Steve Storrs, whose new 2012 Wildcat Ridge Chardonnay from the Corralitos neck of the appellation was named “Best White Wine of Region” at the 2014 California State Fair Commercial Wine Competition. To celebrate, the winemakers are hosting a Chardonnay tasting and cheese pairing event this weekend, July 26 and 27 at the Storrs Tasting Room (open from noon until 5 p.m., located in the Old Sash Mill). The 2012 Wildcat Ridge Chardonnay hails from Pleasant Valley, said to boast
Have you noticed the designer culinary salts being artisanally crafted by Farmer Freed? Those attractive jars of salt blended with herbs, citrus, zippy spices and more are the handiwork of former UCSC Farm & Garden apprentice Emily Jane Freed. Sourcing local organic herbs, chiles, and other ingredients, Freed has placed her salt blends in top emporia around the Bay Area—locally at Companion Bakeshop, Cameron Marks and Westside Farm & Feed. This is great news for us salt lickers who can’t get enough of the mother mineral. And, the stuffed padron peppers at Soif continue to amaze and delight. As does the futomaki at Totoro.
BEER FEST Set your clock for the fourth annual California Beer Festival, coming up fast on Aug. 9 & 10 at the Aptos Village Park. Craft beers galore, live music, sliders, picnics, burgers—totally allAmerican summertime activities.

mooth with soft tannins, this velvety crimson Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 is delicious and very drinkable. Aromas of blackcurrant and creamy chocolate greet the nose, and the rich, ripe fruit that lies within—just waiting to be enjoyed. A recent wine tasting trip to Soquel’s Hunter Hill Vineyard & Winery brought this wine to my attention—and now I’m bringing it to yours. Cab always pairs well with red meat, pastas, cheese and chocolate. This one is an excellent value at $20. The winery owners Christine and Vann Slatter love to produce fine wines, and they love it even more when folks come into their tasting room to try them. Their property has evolved over the years into an absolutely gorgeous spread, and they host fun events and music on certain days. Hunter Hill also participates in a variety of off-site events, including Gourmet Grazing on the Green in Aptos Village Park on Sept. 27. Hunter Hill has also just signed up with guurgle, a website for searching out wineries, events and more. Right now, the Slatters’ garden is bursting at the seams with homegrown veggies, so their tasting room is currently doubling as a farm stand of seasonal produce. I highly recommend the summer squash, which comes in brightly colored varieties of all shapes and sizes. Also offered are farm-fresh eggs and jams of all kinds. Jewels Youhas, a pastry chef and “jammer,” has formed a small business called I’m in a Jam, and she and Christine pool their resources to make special jams with the addition of wine. Try
the olallieberry with Hunter Hill’s Barbera, and the white peach with Chardonnay. It’s all good stuff. Hunter Hill Vineyard & Winery is at 7099 Glen Haven Road, Soquel, 4659294. Tasting room hours are Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
BREWING UP A STORM My friend and I had a splendid little lunch at Discretion Brewing recently. Kudos to owner and “goodness advocate” Kathleen Genco for providing delicious brews—and to kitchen maestro Santos Majano, previously chef at Soif, for cooking up truly tasty grub. Discretion Brewing is at 2703 41st Ave., Suite A, Soquel, 316-0662. Discretionbrewing.com.
FUNDRAISING EVENT The Watsonville Winemakers’ Studios is hosting the second annual Berries & Bottles boutique winery showcase—a fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank. Featured wineries include 37th Parallel, Bruzzone Family Vineyards, Bunter Spring, Dancing Creek Winery, Domenico, Myka Cellars, River Run Vintners, RoudonSmith, Sante Arcangeli, Ser Wine Company and Wargin Wines. The event features tasting and bottle sales along with food vendors and featured artists—and complimentary strawberries. Berries & Bottles is at Watsonville Winemakers’ Studios, 18 Hangar Way, Suite C, Watsonville, from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 2. Tickets are $20/adv $30/ door, and include a souvenir tasting glass and 10 tasting tickets. Details at berries-bottles.com.

Festival de Nopal Could cactus be the food (and energy) of the future? BY JACOB PIERCE
M
GT: So, how do you cook with nopales? Manfred Warmuth: [The same as] anything you do with a cucumber or zucchini. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like recipes, but you can make stews. You put it in soup. It gives it a creamy texture because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slimy, but if you do it in the right amount, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really good. The classical Mexican one is to fry it with onions, or to add eggs to it for breakfast.
This cactus plant is huge. Was it on the property when you moved in? No, it grows very fast. With the right conditions itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the plants that produces the most biomass. They want to use it and agave also for growing biofuel. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very, very powerful plant.
What do you want for the festival in future years? We want to move the festival one parking lot over and make it bigger, and then we can actually have a tent for teaching.
Are your plants organic? What do you mean? Organic in America is a joke. One of the most stringent organic requirements is the California system, and they allow you to use blood meal, bone meal, any amount of stuff from the outside. Actually, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big problem for the world, the American organics, because the international organics have to compete with it. I have a brother who is a German farmer. Over there, some regulations force them to do green manuring. None in the U.S. force green manuring. Everything is beautiful if you look at it from a distance.

anfred Warmuth has been growing cacti for about 10 years at his house on Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upper Westside. He loves sharing his nopales, or pads from the opuntia cactus, with the community at the Festival de Nopal, which takes place downtown and celebrates its fifth year this weekend. With climate change on its way, Warmuth says, people will need to grow different produce, like cacti, that can survive in hotter, drier climates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like foods that take care of themselves,â&#x20AC;? says Warmuth, a UCSC computer science professor and native of Germany. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just plant, and you only harvest, and you hardly have to water. The main thing is the cultural problem. You have to educate people how to use it.â&#x20AC;?

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES MARS ENTERS SCORPIO: THE NINE TESTS Over the years I’ve mentioned the nine tests of Mars and Scorpio. The tests are given to everyone—unawakened, beginning to awaken, and the awakened. The purpose is to test our strength, courage, ability to adapt, discriminate and have discernment. To see if we are deceived by illusion or are “warriors triumphant, emerging from the battle.” During Leo Sun, we’re already experiencing life dramatically. With Mars in Scorpio life assumes vivid, tragic, comedic and spectacularly on-theedge-dimensions. We will be “taken to task and tested” during Mars in Scorpio, from July 27 through Sept. 14. We’re grateful Mars isn’t retrograde in Scorpio. During Mars’ last retrograde this year in Libra (March 1 – May 20), we were offered many choices. After the retrograde we made definite decisions. Now those decisions will be tested. Are they real?
Will we follow through? Mars in Scorpio will meet with Saturn in Scorpio on July 25 and 26. Saturn, dweller on the threshold, signifies the ancient residues of our past (Jung’s “shadow”). As the dweller informs us of patterns no longer useful, Mars presents the nine tests. They concern our personal relationships with sex, comfort, money, fear, hatred, love of power, pride, separateness and cruelty. The questions are: “Do we have ‘right expression’ with these? Have we strayed from the rules governing our divine design? What is still unawakened, uncontrolled and unconquered within us?” Simultaneously, we are asked to make right choices and create right relations. And to have kindness (ahimsa) and compassion. These overcome all hindrances. They help us pass the tests.
ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
What is your family genealogy, your lineage, what are your cultural roots, your heritage? Are interactions and relations with your family good? And how are you feeling these days? Your energy may be high and low, you must sleep a bit more, tend more to family and the home, and bring into your environments that which sustains, comforts, and supports you. Moods are restrained by work as service and exercise.
There may be conflicts between previous choices you made and choices others have made, between past and present ways of being. Holding onto the past is of comfort. Yet you also want to move forward. It’s difficult doing both. Perhaps you can review why you made certain decisions years ago, separating you from certain situations and people. Life often brings forth surprising thoughts, ideas, events and life changes. The idea of forgiveness and inclusion produce liberation.
Esoteric Astrology as news for week July 23-29, 2014
TAURUS Apr21–May21
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21
You may be thinking of past relationships and friends, which brings you to assessing your self-worth and what you value about yourself. You find that you must continue with plans for community development and its direction, new neighborhoods based on community ideals and the new architecture. Communication between diverse factions may be needed. Notice any values conflicts. What is right beside you is most important.
Bold and expansive steps may be taken in areas of study, ideas, education and your career. You may even travel a bit, leading to a new direction in life. Something dramatic and different occurred around work. Or will. As time passes you’ll understand the opportunity this provided. If you could do anything you wanted concerning the future, what would that be?
GEMINI IT’S May 22–June 20
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20
finances, as usual. A new beginning, a reorientation or a re-evaluation financially will be considered. Changes are occurring fast and furiously. You must keep up for you are a major spokesperson. A smaller reality must fall away so you can embrace a larger one. Usually you’re silent about such things. Who do you talk with now? The soul is brightening each day, calling your personality to evaluate.
Unexpected events will influence your dream world, intuition, and the place where inspiration comes from. You will want to review and tend to finances. It’s important to know what your relationship is with money, past, present and future. This will change, too. Also, someone or something may come along soon and from this encounter, revelations occur. You need some. Be charming and observing at the same time.
CANCER Jun21–Jul20
LE0 Jul21–Aug22 First a review of your career path and then spiritual beliefs, upbringing and remembering. The question arises, “What is most important in my life?” You will recommit to something, someplace or someone from long ago. This surprises you. You’re gradually learning from (and listening to) others. They have loved you for years, ages, eons from afar. What does your heart tell you? Who do you love?
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You will enter into regions of the mind not often explored, and discover over time what needs elimination in terms of past ideas and beliefs and what new regions of thought need developing. Hidden aspects of self will be encountered. Simply observe. The world now is filled with endings and new beginnings. You, a writer, should by now have a retrograde journal, dream journal, eclipse journal, transit journal and esoteric teachings journal—all organized.
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Allow yourself to rest more this week. Don’t overwork—if you do, something may catch you off guard, you may forget things or you may tend to too many details that exhaust. You may argue yourself to distraction. Tell everyone you need extra help. Create an agenda of tasks for others to do. Allow (and expect) them to perform those tasks. Then give them stars. In the meantime, read, lie about and languish a bit.
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 At first the days and weeks feel uncontrollable, then surprising and uncertain. Then you realize life is changing at such a rapid pace that you may as well be excited about it. This response expands your imagination and vision, elevates and vivifies your life force, and you feel divinely connected to all forms of life, all planes and kingdoms. This, by the way, is joy, a quality of the soul. Now you can nourish others with it.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You will begin to see things, life’s events, choices, in a new light, with clearer perception. This will be good. You will learn to not turn away when upset or sad, but to turn toward and make amends. You will also begin to have faith in the future, something you haven’t had for a long time (years). Something will occur that changes you—a gift, a task, recognition, a new role, a person, an idea, a state of grace or a prayer.

A new beginning is occurring. A new self-identity. A new seed planted in your heart and mind. You sense and feel this. Forces and energies unknown yet fully present call you to a greater mobility and self-discovery. Perhaps it concerns where you live and your present daily work. You have and will become more accepting, which increases self-acceptance and self-worth. Something ends as something much greater begins.

1938
Occupation: Owner/designer, Hair Design by Dianne Hobbies: Family/spending time with granddaughter, walking through the redwoods/appreciating life, cooking Astrological Sign: Taurus What do you enjoy cooking? I call it healthy fast food. I might take a piece of fish, get my cast iron pan super hot, cook that fish really fast, and it’s done. Also stir-fries. Shopper’s has the best local vegetables — organic or not — and less expensive than the Farmers Market and other stores. Shopper’s meats are phenomenal, I really like their pork steaks, sausages, bacon, seafood, and Mary’s chickens, which I’ll slow-cook in my crock pot. This past Easter, the butchers butterflied a leg of lamb perfectly for me. It was amazingly delicious. They’re great: You cannot get that service anywhere but Shopper’s.
Why not? Shopper’s is the only real butcher shop in town. Shopping local is very important to me. I don’t shop at the big chain stores — they’re too big, plus we know what we have at Shopper’s and it’s all quality. I like that I can always find what I’m looking for — cheeses, sauces, spices, coffees, and more — they don’t move items around (for marketing), plus you get to meet up with your friends in the store. I’ll ask my clients who are new to the area if they shop here. I might get, ‘I just found Shopper’s, I’m so excited!’ I tell them, ‘It’s where you want to shop. It’s local, it’s fun, and has the best prices.’
OUR 76 T H YEAR
You find Shopper’s to be family-friendly? My granddaughter Avery, and I have fun here; she cooks and appreciates looking at all the selections. I like that there’s always someone close by who’s friendly and can answer your questions. Shopper’s is a pillar of the community. I don’t know how many teens in the county have been employed here throughout the years, helping them to get started in the work world. I admire Jim (Beauregard) for keeping up with what locals want. It says a lot about a locally owned grocery store to keep on thriving for all these years, despite all the competition coming in.
