OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I generally find ’90s nostalgia even more baffling than ’80s nostalgia, but I’ll concede that the end of the century did give us a few worthwhile things, like the rise of alternative culture. The riot grrrl movement was a truly revolutionary part of punk’s breakthrough decade (think of what a different world we’d live in if Bikini Kill had made it big instead of the Offspring), and one of its accomplishments was flipping the male gaze back on itself and giving

women a new way to reclaim how their bodies were looked at. The subsequent burlesque revival, with its emphasis on empowerment, wasn’t the most important thing to come out of that, maybe, but it was fun. What I like about Anne-Marie Harrison’s cover story this week about burlesque is that it explains how that revival has continued to evolve in unexpected ways (embracing, for example, the LGBTQ community). It also charts the earlier history of the art form, and how the showgirls who performed in a decidedly different time are celebrated today as pioneers. Enjoy! STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

BUMPY RIDE

Re: “Building Up”: Between the Housing Element, the General Plan 2030 and the upcoming Corridor Plan to create sacrifice zones, there is no need to have community input and neighborhood knowledge. The actual community is officially locked out. The poster of corridor high-density housing, 1111 Ocean St., gives us units of approximately 600 square feet rented at over $2,000 a month. The public hearing on 1800 Soquel was another rubber stamp event by and for and about the city and developers to get revenue for the city and profit for the developers. All the city needs is more bulldozers! In the name of affordability, there is insignificant affordable housing in the pipeline. In the name of real transportation, the Metro will no longer be offering real transportation for workers and students; however, dense high-story buildings are counting on buses, as they are allowed fewer parking spaces. And it sounds like there is no responsibility or learning about damage done from the city on unintended consequences of their approved and built developments. We, the actual community, are having a bumpy ride into the vision of our elected officials, city department heads, planning commissioners and developers, who probably all live in a single-family residence in the sacred zones.

So please pass the speed bumps! And click on your safety belt! We are all on a bumpy ride. PATRICIA SCHROEDER | SANTA CRUZ

JUDGE FOR YOURSELF I am very surprised and disappointed with the “virtual” review of Vaxxed. You wrote a long scathing review of a movie that you never watched. Why? The professionals who made this movie and were in the movie are risking their careers to speak out against a CDC/Big Pharma cover-up. The least you can do is go see it and judge for yourself. I found the movie to be very informative. It held my attention as it revealed the cover-up. DONDI GASKILL | APTOS

As it explicitly stated, the write-up in question was not a review, because the film was not screened in advance. As with all our previews—with which our regular readers are all-too-familiar—the purpose is to provide hype-free and irreverent context for those unfamiliar with the film and filmmaker. — Editor

SUSTAINABLE NOTION Thank you for the accurate, succinct article “Fast Food Notion” (GT, 5/4). It is hoped the message prompts individuals to do further research in order to make sustainable, healthful, and ethical choices. LAURA PARKS | BONNY DOON

DONOR BACKING

DECKED OUT

The Backpack Project has started taking collections for the 2016-17 school year. In addition to accepting school supplies, the group is taking donations, with a goal to distribute 850 backpacks. Each $25 donation fills one bag. Drop-off spots include The True Olive Connection, Felton Nails and Scotts Valley Market. Donors may contact kidzbackpacks@gmail.com with questions or PayPal donations. Mailed donations go to P.O. Box 97, Mount Hermon, CA 95041-0097.

A new urban planning trend of “parklets” is all the rage in West Coast cities like San Francisco and Portland, Oregon. Construction crews re-appropriate parking spots to put in patios. Sometimes it takes Santa Cruz a while to catch up to the bigger cities, but we now have our own parklet too, located on Cathcart Street at Hula’s Island Grill and Tiki Room. There will be a ribbon cutting at Hula’s at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, May 13.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of May 11 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Russian writer Anton Chekhov was renowned for the crisp, succinct style of his short stories and plays. As he evolved, his pithiness grew. “I now have a mania for shortness,” he wrote. “Whatever I read—my own work, or other people’s—it all seems to me not short enough.” I propose that we make Chekhov your patron saint for a while. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you are in a phase when your personal power feeds on terse efficiency. You thrive on being vigorously concise and deftly focused and cheerfully devoted to the crux of every matter.

Once every year, it is healthy and wise to make an ultimate confession—to express everything you regret and bemoan in one cathartic swoop, and then be free of its subliminal nagging for another year. The coming days will be a perfect time to do this. For inspiration, read an excerpt from Jeanann Vernee’s Genetics of Regret: “I’m sorry I lied. Sorry I drew the picture of the dead cat. I’m sorry about the stolen tampons and the nest of mice in the stove. I’m sorry about the slashed window screens. I’m sorry it took 36 years to say this. Sorry that all I can do is worry what happens next. Sorry for the weevils and the dead grass. Sorry I vomited in the wash drain. Sorry I left. Sorry I came back. I’m sorry it comes like this. Flood and undertow.”

TAURUS Apr20–May20 “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” Approximately 30,000 sites on the Internet attribute that quote to iconic genius Albert Einstein. But my research strongly suggests that he did not actually say that. Who did? It doesn’t matter. For the purposes of this horoscope, there are just two essential points to concentrate on. First, for the foreseeable future, your supreme law of life should be “creativity is intelligence having fun.” Second, it’s not enough to cavort and play and improvise, and it’s not enough to be discerning and shrewd and observant. Be all those things.

GEMINI May21–June20 In Western culture, the peacock is a symbol of vanity. When we see the bird display its stunning array of iridescent feathers, we might think it’s lovely, but may also mutter, “What a show-off.” But other traditions have treated the peacock as a more purely positive emblem: an embodiment of hard-won and triumphant radiance. In Tibetan Buddhist myths, for example, its glorious plumage is said to be derived from its transmutation of the poisons it absorbs when it devours dangerous serpents. This version of the peacock is your power animal for now, Gemini. Take full advantage of your ability to convert noxious situations and fractious emotions into beautiful assets.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 “Clear moments are so short,” opines poet Adam Zagajewski. “There is much more darkness. More ocean than terra firma. More shadow than form.” Here’s what I have to say about that: Even if it does indeed describe the course of ordinary life for most people, it does not currently apply to you. On the contrary. You’re in a phase that will bring an unusually high percentage of lucidity. The light shining from your eyes and the thoughts coalescing in your brain will be extra pure and bright. In the world around you, there may be occasional patches of chaos and confusion, but your luminosity will guide you through them.

“Dear Smart Operator: My name is Captain Jonathan Orances. I presently serve in the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. I am asking for your help with the safekeeping of a trunk containing funds in the amount of $7.9 million, which I secured during our team’s raid of a poppy farmer in Kandahar Province. The plan is to ship this box to Luxembourg, and from there a diplomat will deliver it to your designated location. When I return home on leave, I will take possession of the trunk. You will be rewarded handsomely for your assistance. If you can be trusted, send me your details. Best regards, Captain Jonathan Orances.” You may receive a tempting but risky offer like this in the near future, Leo. I suggest you turn it down. If you do, I bet a somewhat less interesting but far less risky offer will come your way.

“Some things need to be fixed, others to be left broken,” writes poet James Richardson. The coming weeks will be an ideal time for you to make final decisions about which are which in your own life. Are there relationships and dreams and structures that are either too damaged to salvage or undeserving of your hard labor? Consider the possibility that you will abandon them for good. Are there relationships and dreams and structures that are cracked, but possible to repair and worthy of your diligent love? Make a plan to revive or reinvent them.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 According to the British podcast series “No Such Thing as a Fish,” there were only a few satisfying connubial relationships in late 18th-century England. One publication at that time declared that of the country’s 872,564 married couples, just nine were truly happy. I wonder if the percentage is higher for modern twosomes. Whether it is or not, I have good news: My reading of the astrological omens suggests that you Scorpios will have an unusually good chance of cultivating vibrant intimacy in the coming weeks. Take advantage of this grace period, please!

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “Some days I feel like playing it smooth,” says a character in Raymond Chandler’s short story “Trouble Is My Business,” “and some days I feel like playing it like a waffle iron.” I suspect that you Sagittarians will be in the latter phase until at least May 24. It won’t be prime time for silky strategies and glossy gambits and velvety victories. You’ll be better able to take advantage of fate’s fabulous farces if you’re geared up for edgy lessons and checkered challenges and intricate motifs.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Author Rebecca Solnit says that when she pictures herself as she was at age 15, “I see flames shooting up, see myself falling off the edge of the world, and am amazed I survived not the outside world but the inside one.” Let that serve as an inspiration, Capricorn. Now is an excellent time for you to celebrate the heroic, messy, improbable victories of your past. You are ready and ripe to honor the crazy intelligence and dumb luck that guided you as you fought to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. You have a right and a duty to congratulate yourself for the suffering you have escaped and inner demons you have vanquished.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 “To regain patience, learn to love the sour, the bitter, the salty, the clear.” The poet James Richardson wrote that wry advice, and now I’m passing it on to you. Why now? Because if you enhance your appreciation for the sour, the bitter, the salty, and the clear, you will not only regain patience, but also generate unexpected opportunities. You will tonify your mood, beautify your attitude, and deepen your gravitas. So I hope you will invite and welcome the lumpy and the dappled, my dear. I hope you’ll seek out the tangy, the smoldering, the soggy, the spunky, the chirpy, the gritty, and an array of other experiences you may have previously kept at a distance.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.” That’s from a Coleman Barks’ translation of a poem by the 13th-century Islamic scholar and mystic known as Rumi. I regard this epigram as a key theme for you during the next 12 months. You will be invited to shed a host of wishy-washy wishes so as to become strong and smart enough to go in quest of a very few burning, churning yearnings. Are you ready to sacrifice the mediocre in service to the sublime?

Supporters of Measure S say it would bring libraries into the 21st century BY MATT RENDA

G

rowing up, 23-year-old UCSC senior Emmanuel Garcia remembers days when he ate only one square meal. The son of two Mexican immigrants who came to the United States to provide their children more opportunity, Garcia attended a resource-strapped elementary school in a poor area of San Diego. The school rented space from a Baptist church and hosted science class in a decrepit house

built at the turn of the century. His parents, he says, did not emphasize the importance of education. And although Garcia took academics seriously, his school didn’t have a cutting-edge computer lab, and his parents, he says, were too poor to afford computers or a personal collection of books. The local public library became his refuge and a tool of his educational advancement. “Growing up, I used the library for most of my school work,” Garcia

says. “Even up to high school, I printed out my essays there, I would research my papers there and check out my books there.” In February, Mayor Cynthia Mathews, an avid library supporter, approached the UCSC College Democrats about the need for the community to fund a major facilities overhaul for the library system, and Garcia, a member of the club, asked Mathews if he could join >13

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | MAY 11-17, 2016

A dinner of dolmas, tofu pot pie and Chicagostyle deep-dish pizza has drawn an eclectic turnout of academics, ravers, techies, and artists. Even a toddler and a white blazer-and-aviators-clad financial adviser are in attendance at the bonfire hosted by husband-and-wife Nadia and Dmitry V.—both of them therapists and Russian émigrés. It’s now the witching hour on a lateApril Sunday in San Jose, and we’re about four-and-a-half hours into a potluck raising money for a kilo of pure MDMA. Or, as it’s colloquially known, molly or ecstasy. “It’s great to have a whole night just devoted to psychedelics,” Dmitry says. “There needs to be a coming out in this community.” Despite the talk of “coming out” for the cause, few people wanted their full name associated with the gathering. One attendee remarked on the dilemma of wanting to do her part to legitimize the psychedelic scene with her open support, but being afraid of the stigma associated with drugs that are as criminalized as cocaine. Indeed, the federal powers that be regulate acid and psilocybin mushrooms as closely as they do crack and heroin. The fundraiser marks one of hundreds around the globe to benefit the Santa Cruz-based Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), an organization devoted to researching the therapeutic value of psychedelic drugs and cannabis. Their primary goal of these psychedelic dinners is to collect $400,000 to buy 2.2 pounds of pharmaceutical-grade MDMA as a potential legal treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. MAPS spokesman Brad Burge says that’s how much it costs for an entirely new supply approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). MAPS has been using a batch of MDMA made in the 1980s by Purdue University chemist David Nichols. But regulators want to keep their eyes on the entire manufacturing process before it signs off on third-phase clinical trials for up to 400 patients. As part of the research, patients take a carefully measured dose of MDMA and spend the day talking about their trauma with therapists. Psychotherapy in >14

NEWS SHELF LIFE <11 the campaign for Measure S, which heads to the ballots on June 7. “Libraries have had a positive impact in my life in helping my education greatly,” says Garcia, who has been working on the campaign and wants to go to law school. “I found that I had almost a responsibility and a duty to make sure that other people have the same resources that I had.” The measure, which has no formal opposition, asks Santa Cruz County property owners to approve a flat tax of nearly $49.50 per year to provide approximately $67 million to the library system for critical repairs and upgrades to the system. “We have 10 branches and each of the branches need repairs to a greater or lesser extent,” says Interim Library Director Janis O’Driscoll. System leaders performed their most recent renovation beginning in 2010, when it transformed a former Scotts Valley roller rink into a library, but the leaking roof endangered both the branch’s book collection and the library’s computer equipment, O’Driscoll says. The Capitola branch has three temporary classrooms that were installed 17 years ago. The Felton branch is located in a ramshackle former church built in the 19th century, and the walls don’t meet flush anymore. The bond measure, which needs two-thirds voter approval to pass,

would fund new facilities for both Capitola and Felton. The downtown Santa Cruz branch, the flagship of the system, requires a comprehensive renovation, O’Driscoll says, as the plumbing is substandard and the building is heated by an ancient boiler that is the only one of its kind remaining in California, meaning parts have to be specially manufactured when things break down, which is often. But it’s not simply maintenance, says Mathews, who wants the system to upgrade its broadband and wiring to keep up with the demands of the modern-day library user. “Libraries are just used differently than they used to be,” says Mathews, who is working on the Say Yes to Measure S campaign. Libraries in general have moved beyond the 19th-century model of the Dewey decimal system, stern librarians insisting on quiet and the smell of deteriorating glue lingering among the catacombs of encyclopedias. In the Internet-dominated 21st century, one of the library’s important roles, Mathews says, is providing universal access to the World Wide Web—particularly for those who cannot afford computers or monthly payments for broadband access, just as Garcia couldn’t as a child. “We need to be able to rewire the branches to take advantage of the new technology,” Mathews says. “We

want to be able to provide the people who use the Internet with faster speeds and greater capacity.” O’Driscoll says the library continues to keep pace with the times in terms of its offerings, providing access to e-books, audio books, music, DVDs, and podcasts. There is even a database of local musicians that library members can audiostream on the library’s website. Santa Cruz Public Libraries, which announced new executive director Susan Nemitz this month, is busier than ever. Circulation increased 4.5 percent from fiscal year 201314 to 2014-15, O’Driscoll says. Additionally, about 113,000 people checked something out at one of the branches during March 2016—more than half of the 219,000 people that comprise the library service area. Fifty-five percent of the people who live in the service area own library cards, O’Driscoll says, which shows that the library has adapted and kept pace with demand. That doesn’t include Watsonville, which has its own branch, run separately from the 10-branch system in the rest of the county. The residents of Watsonville would not be voting on the bond or paying for it should the measure pass. Measure S will not only fix roofs and finance new construction, it will also pay for upgrades to make branches more compatible with a changing mission that >16

MARKET VALUE “This is exactly what we needed,” says Deke Ramirez, owner of Deke’s Market and In Mah’ Belly Deli, holding a giant, novelty-sized check for $59,000, as his wife, Kimberly, tears up across the room. “We were at a point where we were going to consider selling the market, because we were at a loss of resources and experience. And this is

gonna put us in a whole new direction.” Ramirez, who struggles to find the time and money to grow his 7th Avenue grocery business, was the winner of the second annual Small Business Makeover Challenge at NextSpace in downtown Santa Cruz on Wednesday, May 4. The award comes in the form of donated services from other local business people, including consultants, a

certified public accountant and a social media coach. A panel of local entrepreneurs grilled the three finalists, including Drew Goling of the Santa Cruz County Veterans Memorial Building, which is looking to bolster its reputation and increase facility rentals. The other runner-up was Santa Cruz Skin Solutions and Integrated Wellness, which is preparing for big-time transitions, including a

move to Scotts Valley. Noga Vilozny, a color coordinator and executive coach who donated a sixmonth $13,000 package, praises the panelists’ pick and thinks Ramirez will be very “coachable.” “It was really a very unusual thing in Santa Cruz,” Vilozny says of the event. “I almost felt like I was watching a TV show, like Shark Tank. It was very suspenseful.” JACOB PIERCE

DEMENTIA DUALITY 11,000 people a day turn 65, and 1 in 3 seniors dies with dementia. The duality of emotions dealing with them and the disease are heartbreaking. Picture someone you love, and then imagine a time when you wanted to bean them. Right? It appears to me that the very people we love the most often confound and frustrate us, probably because we care. We have a stake in the future with them. But what about the parent who has dementia and a dim future? They are as demanding as a toddler, taking hours to do the smallest thing. You want to go to the market with them to get them out of the house, but to do that simple thing, you must: 1. 2. 3. 4.

get them bathed get them dressed arrange their hair feed the dog and assure them it will be fine alone for an hour 5. get them in the car 6. reassure them the dog will be fine while they are gone 7. reassure them the house is locked 8. reassure them you will be RIGHT back 9. go back for the sweater because you suddenly remember the market is cold 10. get some water in case they get thirsty from the meds 11. finally get to the store. The time donated to this simple act of charity takes hours and a huge psychic toll. Then the guilt sets in...

general and PTSD therapy in particular focus on exposing a patient to distressing thoughts to eventually desensitize them. MDMA’s capacity to suspend a person’s fight-or-flight instinct, which shifts into overdrive in people suffering from PTSD, allows them to face their traumatic memories until those thoughts lose the brunt of their power. “The immediate effects of MDMA make people feel intimate, so there’s that bonding, that connection,” Burge says. “People tend to become more present, which lends itself well to therapy, of course.” In his Pulitzer Prize-winning causa sui The Denial of Death, Ernest Becker points out that humanity goes to just about any length to avoid contemplating one’s own mortality—even if that means feeling less alive in the process. People wounded by trauma, to a great degree, develop a heightened death-awareness. Becker derided psychedelic drugs as a Dionysian excess. “Modern man is drinking and drugging himself out of awareness,” he wrote. Ironically, though, MAPS seems certain that a particular strain of chemical fix can help confront rather than escape one of

the greatest agonies of the human condition: consciousness of our inevitable demise and the fatality of life, a sense heightened to a debilitating degree by trauma. “On some level, psychedelics push you to the brink of understanding that you’re mortal,” one of the dinner guests explained at the San Jose event, after a colorful telling of her most memorable, most jarring psilocybin trips. “You know? You’re forced to confront those fears. A lot of people are wound really tight, or stuck to this world. Sometimes you have to force your way outside of yourself to realize that to be unafraid of death means accepting that they’re part of nature and that there’s a lot more possibility than you imagined.” Some may find it odd to hear MDMA classified as “psychedelic,” although Burge explains that while all hallucinogens are psychedelic, not all psychedelics have hallucinogenic effects. The drug may not be a hallucinogen, he says, “but definitely has psychedelic, mind-manifesting, or mindexpanding impact.” The first two rounds of clinical trials have gone exceptionally well, with success rates up to 83 percent, according to psychiatrists involved in the research. After a few rounds

of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, several patients who took part say their symptoms of trauma have all but vanished. Doctors hesitate to use the word “cure,” but four years past the first double-blind trials, the results look promising. Think, on the other hand, of the status quo in which doctors prescribe daily medication to dull symptoms indefinitely without getting to the root of the problem. “It took a lot of work on the part of MAPS to get to this point, to be on the brink of FDA approval,” Burge says. “MDMA had been legal until 1985 and had been used in therapy. When it was criminalized, that put all the legal, aboveground therapeutic use to a stop. It also stopped major funding overnight. That probably set us back 30 years. There’s a lot of catching up to do.” Psychopharmacological scholar Rick Doblin founded MAPS a year after the ban, in 1986, to research the clinical benefits of psychedelics and cannabis. While trippers generally remain discreet about their activities, especially of recreational use, MAPS has made a point of operating scrupulously above board. Under Doblin’s purview and guided by his Harvard University-honed expertise in public policy, the nonprofit has published journals, statistics, action studies

and methodical protocols that slowly chipped away at some of the counterculture stigma attached to psychedelics. The method took a few decades but seems to be paying off. To date, MAPS has raised more than $26 million, largely from individual donors and small foundations, to study psychedelics and educate the people about their risks and benefits, while it continues blazing trails throughout the drug research industry. Last month, MAPS announced the firstever study into medical cannabis with the full approval of U.S. regulatory groups. The nonprofit received a $2.2 million grant from the state of Colorado to fund research on veterans suffering from PTSD in a groundbreaking study that has the support of both the FDA and the Drug Enforcement Agency. “We’ve had to combat years of negative propaganda, negative science to prove that there are legitimate contexts for these type of substances,” Burge says. “We’re always trying to bring more people into the fold by informing not just people who are already involved in psychedelic circles, but also the ones who may be on the fence or don’t know enough about it yet.”

focuses on making new media more readily available to all segments of the population. The measure stipulates that bond money cannot be spent on computers or other related equipment, but must be restricted to capital improvements that address supportive infrastructure, such as better wiring and more open and inviting building formats. The campaign has racked up a litany of endorsements from elected officials, educators, organizations, and prominent community members. Supporters are taking nothing for granted, particularly as the ballot is crowded with other public entities looking for tax approvals to secure funding boosts. “Anytime you do a measure, at least 20 percent of the voters will vote against it just because it’s a tax,” Mathews says. “So we have a really narrow margin. But the tax is a modest amount and it’s a flat amount.” Unlike some bond measures, Measure S would keep the amount at $49.50 per year and will end after a 30-year period. “This bond measure was put together after a careful study of the actual needs of the library system,” Mathews says. Those needs, Garcia says, include providing 21st century services to those who can’t afford them. “Access to computer resources is something needed in the 21st century,” he explains. “It’s not so much a luxury, it’s a necessity. And libraries are democratic institutions. Anyone can go in there, anyone can access the materials.” Garcia credits libraries with helping him make it this far—to the precipice of graduating from a major public university with a degree in political science and legal studies. He wants to ensure that others will not be denied similar opportunities. “I feel indebted to future generations because I was given a wonderful opportunity to use the resources at the library,” he says. “I’m grateful for what I have, but I want future generations not to have just what I have, but for their chances to grow.”

STORMINGTHE TASSEL As Santa Cruz showgirls prepare to travel to the mecca of burlesque, the local scene—with its combination of saucy sex appeal and badass empowerment—is thriving By ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

hen Bay Area burlesque performer Viva LaFever was in sixth grade, she beat up the biggest kid in school— because she could. Six years later he was her prom date. “I never had a problem putting men in their place,” says LaFever, 67, erupting with laughter as she describes her younger self: a toughas-nails kid who learned her fighting chops from her Italian father. As an adult stepping onto the burlesque stage of the New Follies Action Theatre in San Francisco’s Mission District in 1971, (now the Victoria Theatre), that same pluck served her well—especially on the nights she volunteered to spend in a Seattle jail, working her way up to manage the Follies within just a few months of starting out, and that one time she performed solo in a bowling alley in Sparta, Wisconsin near an air force base. Or the night when two men demanded to know if she had once been a stripper: “I said, ‘No, I was the stripper.’” Now a retired newspaper delivery woman for the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner, with a brain aneurysm and a knee in need of replacing, LaFever does an average of 250 situps every day (more on game days— she’s a Steelers fan) to prepare for this year’s annual Burlesque Hall of Fame (BHOF) performance in

Las Vegas, the mecca of burlesque. LaFever is one of their coveted “Living Legends,” and she hasn’t missed a single show since returning to the stage in 2005. “It makes me want to work really hard. I want to impress these kids and show them that getting old doesn’t mean you’re dead,” says LaFever. Back in the ’70s, audiences were mainly comprised of males “looking to get their rocks off” and performers were hyper-focused on maintaining a “perfect” figure, says LaFever. But neither the sleazeballs nor any feminist critique could make LaFever doubt herself, she says. “It was a different kind of feminine power. It wasn’t like I was there for their pleasure, I was there having a good time, making good money, and they had to pay to see me,” says LaFever. “I viewed that as my own little women’s movement.” Local performer Cyanide Cyn says that when she’s under the bright lights and layers of glitter wearing only a G-string and pasties, debates over feminist theory don’t matter. “I am choosing to be a powerful, beautiful, sexual being in the way that I choose, and not in the way that somebody else perceives me when I walk down the street or pump gas in my car or grocery shop. That’s when they seem to think it’s OK to make me feel sexualized, and that’s not when I feel sexy,” says

Cyn. “There’s a lot to be said about taking the power to stand there and be on stage in a place that I feel very powerful. That’s who I am and what I have to offer—and it is an art form.”

MISCHIEF & MAGIC Cyn, 38, is co-producer of the local burlesque group, Sin Sisters, that performs every month at the Catalyst. Cyn produces the shows with her blood-sister, Balla Fire, who founded the troupe with another performer in 2011. Cyn says that the Sisters’ success as the longest-running show at the Catalyst has a lot to do with attitudes in Santa Cruz. “We live in a town that’s really open to it. There are other areas where I’d be more concerned with my daughter’s friends’ parents knowing about it, but there have been times where I’ve looked out and seen other PTA moms standing out there,” says Cyn. “The look of shock when they realize ‘Oh, you’re one of them,’ and they are having just as much fun as I am.” Santa Cruz’s burlesque scene is small enough that locals are excited to come out, says Cyn—unlike in the wider Bay Area, where there are so many options, audiences are waiting for a “big moment” instead

of enjoying the whole experience. “Not everything is just about taking off a piece of clothing. You can’t just be waiting to see my butt every time—my butt is pretty amazing, but it’s not just about my butt or someone’s boobs,” says Cyn. “Anytime somebody yells ‘show me your boobs’ I’m like ‘That’s it, performance done.’ That’s not why I’m here. If I choose to show you, then lucky you. And if I don’t, that’s still not why I was here.” It’s a sexy experience, says Cyn, but it’s also a lesson in consent. “MC Honeypenny starts the show every month by asking, ‘What does consent look like?’ which I think is really powerful because so many people don’t have that conversation,” says Cyn. “We are not a petting zoo.” “Look, but don’t touch” is the rule, and anyone who violates it will swiftly be shown the door, although they’ve never had any problems,

says Cyn. As an art form, she says, burlesque is funny, it’s sexy, it’s shocking, it’s glittery. But ultimately it’s fun—and that means fun for the person on stage, as well.

HISTORY OF FRINGE Burlesque was born of society’s pentup desire for guilty pleasures and the grey area of the law. Unlike stripping, it has always included a comedic element; the Italian word burlesco is derived from burla, meaning “joke, ridicule or mockery.” Some say ancient comedy like Aristophanes’ Lysistrata was the earliest burlesque, but most historians credit Lydia Thompson, a British dancer, with creating the more modern form. Growing up alongside vaudeville, burlesque started as a ribald variety show that included “leg” shows, parody, comedy, minstrel, and minimal costuming—which in 1868,


Modern burlesquers like Cyn say that the only real differences between stripping and burlesque are the amount of glitter and the height of the heels. But Jacki Wilson writes in The Happy Stripper that the real contrast is in burlesque’s showgirl, who adds an element of “witty, parodic, erotic ‘tongue-inchic’ irony. The burlesque performer looks back, smiles and questions her audience, as well as her own performance, a performance that is comic, outlandish and saucy—a highly camp, mostly vintage spectacle.” Toward the late ’70s and early ’80s, laws surrounding nudity were being challenged all over the West Coast, says LaFever, who remembers that in Seattle the price was higher if they stripped all the way, knowing they’d be arrested. LaFever was always an activist, later becoming president for the Teamsters Union, so trying to change the nudity laws by getting arrested never seemed like a big deal to her, she says. The more lax the laws became, however, the more “risqué” started being replaced by downright dirty. “That’s why I dropped out,” she says. “What it had devolved into, to me, really was not burlesque.”

ART OF THE TEASE When burlesque made its comeback in the early ’90s as “neo-burlesque,” with Dita von Teese leading the way, it evolved to emphasize empowerment. “I’m a curvy woman and a woman of color, so I’m not the standard mold of beauty that society often bombards us with,” says 33-yearold Vyxen Monroe, who performs with the Sin Sisters and also heads her own troupe, the Wily Minxes. “The burlesque community in Santa Cruz and the Bay Area is a really safe space and has always been a very welcoming all-inclusive scene. There’s no body shaming. It’s all about celebrating if you’re petite and tiny or flat-chested or big and beautiful. It’s all gorgeous, it’s all applauded, and it’s all amazing.” For Cyn, that’s the kind of model she wants for her 13-year-old daughter.

when Thompson brought her British Blondes group to New York, exposed wrists, ankles, and maybe even shoulders. It was political satire and sex, precisely what repressed high society of the late Victorian era needed. The prohibition era created a need for escape, which burlesque fulfilled. Once striptease became a staple of the art form and crossed over to film, a parallel Hollywood emerged with performers like Gypsy Rose Lee, Tempest Storm and Dixie Evans at the fore. The new burlesque pays homage to the performers who pushed the envelope during a stricter era, which is why Burlesque Hall of Fame features two separate events for the “Burlesque Living Legends,” like LaFever and Ellion Ness, who are both revered among Bay Area performers, says Cyn.

“She sees each of these women who other people could probably pick apart, and they exude confidence at all times. They’re not airbrushed. We have cellulite. We’re real women with real bodies,” says Cyn. “As much as other people can pick out our flaws, we know how powerful we are, we know how beautiful it is what we do. Even if everything fell apart tomorrow and I wasn’t performing, it’s all been worth it because of the confidence that she’s gained from it.” Neo-burlesque has also opened the doors to the LGBTQ community— which makes sense, says Monroe, since communities considered “fringe” by societies often band together, especially in the arts. “There’s a wide range of gender fluidity that you can play with in a show,” says Monroe. “As a queer woman myself, it’s cool to have a piece of myself reflected back to me and to have like-minded people, people like me, around me heightens my sense of safety. You have ‘boylesque’ performers, gay men, you get straight men, you get transgender men and women—it’s another way for them to get really empowered about their bodies.” It’s all about performance, says Cyn. “It all counts. There really is no line; I won’t allow anything on my stage that is misogynistic. I won’t allow anything that is racially motivated. I don’t do cultural appropriation on my stage,” says Cyn. “But other than that, if you feel like it’s art and you can stand up for what you’ve created, bring it.”

LaFever fell into burlesque when she “accidentally” moved from Pennsylvania to San Francisco in 1971. A friend said she knew where LaFever could get a job paying $1.50 an hour. “At the time secretaries were making 90 cents a week, so I said, well, I can do that,” says LaFever. “I drank half a bottle of wine before [going onstage]. I was just not really girly. I was a tomboy but I knew I could do it, having a music and athletic background. My music that week was Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Hey Joe’

and Janis Joplin’s ‘Turtle Blues.’” Unlike in LaFever’s day, when she’d do six shows a day, six days a week, burlesque is a passionate hobby for most and therefore attracts people from all different backgrounds with all different day jobs. It’s why Monroe wanted to bring classically trained dancers together to form the Wily Minxes—a combination of technique and tassel. “I like to think of the way we present choreography as a group as being a bit ribald and mischievous and frisky—and a little cheeky with how we’re going to wow ya,” says Monroe. “Like how we choreograph how we take off the clothing: We try to go for the extra oomph in unclasping our bras while we’re chaîné-ing around, or taking our undies off in a somersault. It makes it more fun for the audience.” A classically trained dancer herself, Monroe has seen performers come from gymnastics, theater, even ballet backgrounds, with some performing burlesque en pointe. Monroe was picked to perform at this year’s Burlesque Hall of Fame in the highly selective “Movers, Shakers, and Innovators” showcase with her fellow Sin Sister, Valerie Veils, who brings her contortionist background to their duet. BHOF is, as Cyn puts it, “the biggest glitter-fest ever,” and being asked to perform is a huge honor. After spending hours sewing their own costumes, gluing on their own rhinestones, and driving endless miles to shows across the country in between daytime jobs, they don’t just do it to feel sexy (although it’s a plus), Monroe and Cyn agree. It’s about the sisterhood. “We aren’t just a crew that performs together. We are family,” says Cyn. “I’ve been there for the birth of some of my sisters’ children. We’re the first people we tell when we get engaged or divorced, when shit is falling apart. They’re really my sisters.” SIN SISTERS BURLESQUE performs

closer for this most transitional of seasons, in which the company moved from its previous incarnation at the tiny Center Stage downtown to a revitalized new one at the Colligan Theater at the Tannery. Wilson’s gently humorous two-

character drama also deals with transition from one stage of life to the next. A co-production between JTC and Santa Cruz Shakespeare, directed with sensitivity by Mike Ryan, the play is an offbeat—and at times, oddly charming—courtship

between a man and a woman beyond the first blush of youth belatedly coming to terms, against all odds, with the possibility of love. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize when it was first produced in 1980, the play is set at the end of World

Or rather, as he tells her, if she did tell him “no,” he would take it. But for all her hand-wringing and high dudgeon, she never quite tells him outright there is no hope for them. And through this loophole, Matt slips in to reasonably and respectfully plead his case. If you’re going to spend 97 minutes (no intermission) with only two characters, the audience had better feel invested in them. JTC stalwart Reber delivers wry, witty charm as Matt; his centerpiece story of his refugee family’s escape from Eastern Europe for the (false) promise of safety in the West is an expertly timed comic riff that’s also heartbreaking. It takes a bit longer to warm up to Sally, simply because, like Matt, we don’t understand why she’s so angsty, but West plays her with affecting poise. The 42-year-old, never-married Matt, and 31-year-old borderline spinster Sally have much to reveal and accept in themselves and each other as the story plays out. Still, some plot points are a bit sketchy, like what exactly happened in the boathouse last summer, and how, and who the various Talleys are up on the hill who are so often talked about, but never seen onstage. Also, that Matt addresses the audience at the beginning—especially when he repeats the entire first page or two of his opening remarks, in double time—doesn’t serve any useful purpose. Still, this is a strong production of a play whose virtues are more thoughtful than dynamic. The Jewel Theatre Company’s production of ‘Talley’s Folly’ plays through May 29 at the Colligan Theater at the Tannery. For ticket information call 425-7506, or visit jeweltheatre.net.

War II. Yet its view of “otherness” in a homogenous society, and the immigrant experience—particularly the persecuted desperately seeking a better life—remain timely. The play can be a bit problematic in other ways, however, especially for those unfamiliar with Wilson’s other two plays about the Talley family. References to offstage characters and family dynamics make us feel at times that we’re not getting the whole story. Talley’s Folly takes place in 1944, in a dilapidated old boathouse (the “folly” of the title) on a lake in Missouri. (Nicely evoked in Rick Ortenblad’s busy, atmospheric set, complete with boats, a pier, a gingerbread roofline, and curtains of hanging green water plants.) Looking somewhat out-of-place is Matt Friedman (Christopher Reber), fastidiously dressed in his three-piece brown suit, fedora, and spectacles. A Jewish accountant from St. Louis, Matt has come to this moonlit, rural Midwestern outpost with one purpose: to visit Sally, daughter of the well-to-do Talley family that lives on the hill overlooking the lake. “This is a waltz,” he tells the audience of his plan to reconnect with Sally. Chased off by Sally’s brother and his friends, Matt awaits her return from work in the boathouse, where the two of them apparently spent a week together the previous summer. But when she comes home from her job as a nurse’s aide in a hospital, tending the war-wounded, Sally (Monica West) is more angry than eager to see him. She can’t believe he presented himself to her conservative, xenophobic family, and tries to give him the brushoff, but he won’t take “no” for an

The ‘Screaming Eagle of Soul,’ Charles Bradley, talks about pain and the healing power of music BY KATIE SMALL

26

A

former James Brown impersonator may seem like an unlikely champion of authentic soul, let alone someone to breathe new life into the genre. But if you have to suffer to be a soul singer—Brown himself once said it’s the word “can’t” that makes you one—Charles Bradley has paid his dues. At age 67, Bradley has overcome homelessness, illness, illiteracy, and broken relationships. Following the murder of his brother, he was nearly driven to suicide after repeated encounters with racism and police brutality. The documentary Soul of America recounts Bradley’s difficult life. After spending decades impersonating

Brown under the stage name Black Velvet, Bradley was discovered by Brooklyn’s indie-soul powerhouse label Daptone Records, home-base for fellow late bloomers Lee Fields and Sharon Jones. These days the dynamic performer is doing Bradley, not Brown, his style more reminiscent of Otis Redding than the Godfather of Soul. In his five years with Daptone, Bradley has released three studio albums and toured extensively over Europe and the U.S., quickly gaining a multigenerational fan base. He credits his current success to his difficult past, which he draws on to fuel his lyrics and performances: “I really feel that if you wanna be good at singing, you have to go through

some heartaches and pains and the stresses of this world,” says Bradley in a phone interview. “Some people can sing and it sounds great, but they got no feelings behind it. I wanna hear something that makes me say, ‘Wow, that person really feels what they singing, they been through some hardships in life.’” Bradley’s dramatic performances have earned him the nickname “The Screaming Eagle of Soul.” His deeply wrinkled face is expressive in the extreme, stretching into raw kabukilike contortions. He puts his all into it: “All of my songs got a moment of truth. I’m tryin’ to show all my brothers and sisters that I’m just gonna do what I like to do, and I like to do it with

honesty, and I’ll give you the best of me,” says Bradley. “This is what I’m doin’ right now, and back when I was in the kitchen cookin’, and when I was shinin’ shoes—no matter what I was doin’, I put my feeling into it.” For Bradley, every performance is an opportunity to connect with his audience. “At my shows I’m lookin’ at so many personalities,” he says, “and I’m lookin’ at all these people, and all of them are very different from me, but I respect all of ’em!” The singer recounts an incident at a recent show on his U.S. tour where he locked eyes with an audience member: “I was onstage, and I was lookin’ at the person lookin’ at me, and this person is just cryin’ like a baby! I said ‘Oh my god, what is wrong with this guy?' So I get out, I walked off stage, I went into the audience, but when I try to get to him, everybody got at me and cornered me and I couldn’t get out!” he says. “But I kept movin’, kept movin’ till I got to this guy. And he came up to me and he grabbed me and he still cryin’ like a baby, and I say, ‘My God, what’s wrong there?’ And he said, ‘Man, my brother just got shot last night, and I know what you mean now.’ And boy, we both broke down cryin’.” A friend had given the man a ticket to see Bradley, whose ballad “Heartaches and Pain” vividly describes the night Bradley’s own brother was shot. “When he told me what happened, I broke down, he broke down ... I can’t just walk away from him like that. I sat there in the audience, and wait till he finished [crying]. And it was so emotional. It wasn’t about no show. It was about a human being so hurt,” says Bradley. There’s no doubt Bradley’s suffering has made him a soul singer, but there is purpose to his pain. “What joy do I get outta hurt? Nothin’. But what joy I get is when people have a hurt moment inside them, I’d like to share it and talk to them, and maybe my own deepness and my hurt inside me, maybe it can help,” he says. “Maybe you can look inside you and find things in you that you never seen. And maybe I help you to open up to it.” Charles Bradley performs at 8 p.m. Monday, May 16. Catalyst Club, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/ door. 429-4135.

Tickets:

Adults $38 / Seniors & Students $32 Preview $24 all tickets

The scene is an ornate, deserted Victorian boathouse in Lebanon, Missouri, circa 1944. Matt Friedman, a Jewish immigrant now living in St. Louis, has arrived to plead his love to Sally, the daughter of the prosperous Talley family. Bookish, erudite, totally honest and delightfully funny, Matt refuses to accept Sally’s rebuffs and her fears that her family would never approve of their marriage. His attempts to overcome her defenses bring secrets to light that each of them have long held close. The soul-baring cost of love is weighed closely in this Pulitzer Prize winning play as two wounded outcasts seek to find common ground and a chance at happiness.

LOCAL BAND

BLACK BIRDS Five years ago, the members of the Black Birds were just starting college in Santa Cruz and looking for a band to rock out in on the weekends. Now, they are mostly all out of college, and still rocking hard. Fortified with an hour of original material, and a couple of hours of covers, they play the Crow’s Nest Saturday. “We were all in the same dorm area together. We started playing music together. It took off from there,” says guitarist/vocalist Nick Crow. “We decided to stick around and play some more music together. We’re having a good time.”

MAY 11-17, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The group initially connected over their love of the Beatles (hence the band’s name), but the music is more hard rock, with influences like Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Queens of the Stone Age, and Pink Floyd. But the element that shines through the most are those ’70s powerhouse blues-rock power chords.

34

Early in their career, they released a self-titled EP. (They had a sax back then.) Last year they recorded a new one, which is now being mixed and mastered. There’s still an emphasis on hard rock and funky punk, but they are also weaving in straight-up blues elements—they even have a song called “Muddy Waters.” “We didn’t expect it to go this long, but we’re glad it did,” Crow says. “We wanted to get rich and famous and travel the world by now, but we’re having a good time doing it and we got to play some cool places and we got some good feedback.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9:30 p.m. Saturday, May 14. Crow’s Nest, 2218 E Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz. $7. 476-4560.

WILD REEDS

THURSDAY 5/12 FOLK

JEFFREY FOUCAULT In a recent blog post, singer-songwriter Jeffrey Foucault writes, “I fished every day for a week straight and forgot about working. I didn’t miss it.” He goes on to describe the rugged shape of his hands, time disappearing, and standing in the spring runoff. In reading the words, one can’t help feel spacious and grounded—and so it goes with Foucault, who has been writing and singing for so long that he’s closing the distance between himself and the greats who paved the way for him: Townes, John Prine, Steve Earle, Bob Dylan, Greg Brown and more. CAT JOHNSON

INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $18. 335-2800.

SKA

RODDY RADIATION Apart from Jamaican artists in the 1960s, U.K.’s the Specials have been the most influential (and arguably) best

group to wave the ska flag. Guitarist Roddy Radiation was never the Special who got the most attention, but he penned three of their best tunes: “Concrete Jungle,” “Rat Race” and “Little Rich Girl.” Within the Specials’ diverse cast of characters, he was the punk—in fact Elvis Costello, who produced the Specials’ first record, thought he was too punk. Since the Specials dissolved, Roddy’s had an on-again, off-again career involving both ska and punked-up rockabilly—and, at his best, a combination of both styles. Check him out with his own group, and marvel at just what an amazing, underrated guitarist he is. AARON CARNES

INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $8/adv, $12/door. 479-1854.

FRIDAY 5/13 METALCORE

MEMPHIS MAY FIRE After a decade of music, Memphis May Fire is still pulling tricks out of its sleeves. Earlier this year, the band announced that its fifth full-length album will be dropped later this year, and then embarked on a month-long,

nationwide tour. Not bad for a band who has survived the not-so-accepted metalcore genre. Matty Mullins’ dynamic vocals range from brutal death metal screams to crescendoing harmonies with Kellen McGregor’s backing vocals. MAT WEIR INFO: 7:30 p.m. Catalyst Club, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $23/door. 429-4135.

FOLK-ROCK

WILD REEDS Hailing from Los Angeles, Wild Reeds blends folk and roots with rock and ethereal pop to create a down-home sound with a bit of L.A. edginess to it. But the remarkable thing about this band is its impeccable sense of harmony. Fronted by Kinsey Lee, Mackenzie Howe and Sharon Silva, Wild Reeds is a showcase for the trio’s tight, perfectly placed three-part harmonies that break from tradition to create something a little darker, heavier, and less predictable. Highly recommended if you like the Be Good Tanyas. CJ INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ TRIO Quincy Jones has proven to be a savvy mentor for Alfredo Rodriguez. Since first hearing the conservatory-trained Cuban pianist at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2006, the legendary producer has helped turn Rodriguez into one of the most visible and creatively unfettered Cuban musicians in the U.S. Based in Los Angeles, the pianist has released a series of increasingly expansive albums, with the new Tocororo incorporating sounds from South India, Argentina, Spain, the Middle East, and beyond. His exceptional trio will be joined by special guest Ganavya Doraiswamy, an extravagantly gifted Carnatic vocalist also steeped in jazz. ANDREW GILBERT

Kyle Jester might’ve been born in San Diego, but he picked up some of his chops while living in Chicago. Now that he’s back in the Bay Area, Jester cooks up hot licks that continue to keep the original blues and R&B genres alive. One night with him and listeners are taken on a journey through time with original numbers that sound straight out of the ’50s and ’60s, and a few familiar covers. Set in the ambiance of the Pocket, this is the closest anyone will get to the roadhouse jams grampy always talked about. MW

er. So it makes sense that Foreverland, the area’s leading MJ tribute band, is a 14-piece ensemble. The group covers Jackson’s entire career, starting with the Jackson Five. Sure, nothing will ever compare to the real deal, and there will never be another King of Pop, but for anyone looking for a close second, Foreverland makes for a great night out. AC

Live & Local brings together some of the area’s great vocal talents for a celebration of the rich history of women in jazz. Featuring Gail Cruse, Vicki Coffis and Ann Whittington from the popular trio Back in Time, as well as the genretranscending Ruby Rudman; celebrated blues, funk and soul singer Charmaigne Scott; and Stella D’Oro, who fronts Santa Cruz’s own Stella By Barlight, the evening is warming up to be a fantastic musical trip from swing-era classics up through contemporary jazz.

FILM

MEOW MIX UP A little kitty named Keanu is at the center of this smart, uproarious action comedy.

Here Kitty Kitty MAY 11-17, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Comedy duo Key and Peele play with race, kittens in their new film ‘Keanu’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

40

I

n something like Quentin Tarantino’s version of That Darn Cat, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele make a sublime comedy team in their new film, Keanu. The poster doesn’t lie: it’s centered around a little mewling kitten, a “gangsta pet” sought by horrible and dangerous men. The two comedians play cousins. Key is Clarence, an anxious suburban family man in a madras shirt. At first glance, he’s like Dwayne Johnson’s frailer little brother. Upon further examination, he’s a beige Chevy Chase. The word protean describes Key; he’s facially bland enough that he can pose as hundreds of characters, as he has

over the five seasons of the duo’s hit Comedy Central show, Key and Peele. When Clarence’s wife and kids go away for the weekend, giving this exec a chance to stretch his legs, he’s called up by his cousin, Rell. Peele is the cuddly furry-brained type, honoring the tradition that a good comedy team is one person trying to keep order, paired with a partner whose grip has long since gone. Rell has just been dumped by his girlfriend, who told him he wasn’t going anywhere in life. “I don’t even know what that means!” he whines, through a mouthful of bong smoke. Heaven sends Rell a stray silver tabby, scratching at his door. The cat completes him—they share milk

from a saucer. It turns out Keanu the kitten is the lone survivor of a bloodbath. Two monstrous gangsters, the Allentown Brothers (also played by Key and Peele) shot and carved up a lair full of drug-dealing rivals in the best John Woo style. After burglars strike Rell’s house, the kitty vanishes. Clues lead to a gangsta named Cheddar (Method Man). To impress this downtown criminal and his cohorts, the cousins pose as the deadly Allentowners. The deception is complicated by the way Clarence talks: as Rell says, “like Richard Pryor imitating a white guy.” Key doesn’t really have the voice of the nervous Caucasian whom Pryor frequently imitated on

stage in his long-since-played-out “white guys be like this, black guys be like that” routine. That snippy, quacking white-guy voice of Pryor’s plagues me—I hate when I hear it coming out of my own mouth. With help from Cheddar’s skeptical moll Hi-C (Tiffany Haddish, a standout) the two run a crew of drug dealers. Their first customer is a drugged out starlet: the one and only Anna Faris, playing herself. Raccoonfaced from too much mascara, waving a samurai sword and eager to play mind games, Faris is delightfully bizarre. It’s poignant to hear her recite her resume: “I was in Scary Movie 1, 2, 3 and 4. Not 5. Too old.” K and P’s longtime collaborator, director Peter Atencio, wreaks this film out of a Los Angeles flavored with bits of New Orleans. A thug team-building session is staged in a graffiti-covered park, where someone has spray-painted the phrase “Hollywood Fuck Off.” If this was the comment of a neighborhood local disgusted by camera crews, Atencio is careful to leave in the shot. Keanu is just that generous. Like the baby in Raising Arizona, Keanu the kitten stirs up everyone’s emotions without having any of its own. Wearing a bitty do-rag and tiny bling around its neck, the little mite is a symbol of fragile, finer feelings threatened by the heavy boots of the urban world. Another instance of tenderness: the prelude to a thwarted kiss on a rooftop between Rell and Hi-C, during a fireworks party. The explosions give the would-be gangbanga PTSD after the gunfights he’s been witnessing. And Haddish, like Faris, gives this endearing trifle everything she’s got. But is it that trifling? The subject gives these two prime comedians something to sink their teeth into. Both biracial, Key once observed he and his partner are “code-shifters” with the color line. Keanu teases the idea of how the movie-fed characteristics of race are just one more role for actors. Similarly, race is just one more thing everyone believes in, even though there’s no science to prove it. KEANU Directed by Peter Atencio. Starring Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. R; 98 min.

Lorene Scafaria directs. Rose Byrne and J.K. Simmons co-star. (PG-13) 100 minutes. MONEY MONSTER George Clooney and Julia Roberts reunited on the big screen! Unfortunately, it’s under slightly stressful conditions as Clooney plays a financial TV host who is held up on air by a crazed investor who takes over the studio. Jodie Foster directs.

NOW PLAYING CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different

current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https://groups. google.com/group/LTATM. A BIGGER SPLASH IMDB may have given this only a 6.5/10, but we give the trailer alone a solid 9/10. That mystery! That intrigue! And with Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton (She’s a rock star. No, really, she’s literally playing a rock star. You guys!), plus the really pretty love interest from The Danish Girl, can you really go wrong? Dakota Johnson is in it as well: we’ll allow it. Luca Guadagnino directs. Matthias Schoenaerts co-stars. (R) 124 minutes. APRIL AND THE EXTRAORDINARY WORLD Stuck in the age of steam without the hope of innovation and under the rule of Napoleon V, France’s minds begin to disappear. Avril (voiced by Marion Cotillard) goes out in search of her missing parents with help from her talking cat and an unlikely ally. French with English subtitles. Christian Desmares, Franck Ekinci direct. Marion Cotillard, Philippe Katerine, Jean Rochefort co-star. (PG) 106 minutes. BARBERSHOP: THE NEXT CUT Calvin’s Barbershop is threatened when the surrounding community takes a turn for the worse, but the hair-cutting heroes band together to make a permanent change. And with Ice Cube, Nicki Minaj, Common, Eve, Cedric the Entertainer, Sean Patrick Thomas, Anthony Anderson, Regina Hall, and Lamorne Morris (only the best character on New Girl, hey Winston!) at the helm, they’ll surely be able to make their neighborhood safe again. Malcolm D. Lee directs. (PG-13) 112 minutes. CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR A bunch of superheroes! Captain America and Iron Man fight! Marvel things! Anthony Russo, Joe Russo direct. Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johanssen co-star. (PG-13) 146 minutes. CODE OF HONOR Hey, so Steven Seagal is still making action films. Michael Winnick directs. Craig Sheffer and James Russo co-star. (R) 106 minutes. COMPADRES Garza is a Mexican cop who, when his girlfriend is kidnapped by a drug cartel, turns not to his own unit, but instead to a pale, red-haired,

NOT LIKE WHAT HOMER SIMPSON YELLS Jerome Holder (left) and Jonathan Pryce in ‘Dough.’

vaguely Trump-reminiscent American teenager. Enrique Begne directs. Omar Chaparro, Joey Morgan, Eric Roberts co-star. 102 minutes. CRIMINAL Kevin Costner as a convict who has no feelings? How strange, he’s generally so emotive. Ariel Vromen directs. Kevin Costner, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gardot co-star. (R) 113 minutes. GREEN ROOM With a slew of brilliant young indie actors, including Imogen Poots, Anton Yelchin, Alia Shawkat and Joe Cole (seriously, these kids have done some terrific under-the-radarflicks very much worth Netflixing), this terrifying thriller looks like something that even a scaredy cat film blurb writer might sit through. Add Patrick Stewart to the mix in a very twisted punk rock tale about maniacal skinheads and you might just get something terrifyingly good. Jeremy Saulnier directs. (R) 95 minutes. HARDCORE HENRY You, yes you, are Henry—a crazy superhuman who has been resurrected from the dead without memory of your former life. Now you have to have your wife from a warlord who wants to bio-engineer soldiers. It’s a first-person action film from Henry’s point of view. Pro-tip: to avoid freaking out, it’s probably best to not do any drugs before watching this film. Ilya Naishuller directs. Sharlto Copley, Tim Roth, Haley Bennett costar. (R) 96 minutes.

THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER’S WAR Everyone is super fierce, excellently CGI’d and wearing the best in fairytale attire (especially Emily Blunt as Freya and Jessica Chastain as badass huntswoman Sara) in this sequel. Charlize Theron’s faux English accent is still a little hard to swallow, but we’ll let it go because Chris Hemsworth may be getting shirtless in this one. Plus, no Kristen Stewart in this pre-Snow White rendering. Cedric Nicolas-Troyan directs. (PG-13) 114 minutes. KEANU Reviewed this issue. Peter Atencio directs. Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Will Forte co-star. (R) 98 minutes. THE JUNGLE BOOK Did anyone think just how terrifying a live-action version of The Jungle Book would be when they saw the 1967 Disney classic (and no, the 1994 version doesn’t count even if Westley from The Princess Bride was in it)? All adults are invited to be equally excited for this fantastic reinterpretation brought to life with newcomer Neel Sethi as Mowgli and the various jungle animals voiced by Hollywood heavy-hitters Billy Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong’o, Christopher Walken, and Scarlett Johansson. Jon Favreau directs. (PG) 105 minutes. MOTHER’S DAY A heartwarming tale about love, life, and motherhood. Or, whatever. Gary Marshall directs.

Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Julia Roberts co-star. (PG-13) 118 minutes. RATCHET & CLANK For those who might’ve gotten overly excited at the movie title, it’s not that kind of ratchet. Instead it’s an animated film based on the video game series featuring a Lombax with a dream, a nefarious space captain, a robot and a mechanic. Kevin Munroe, Jericca Cleland direct. James Arnold Taylor, David Kaye, Jim Ward co-star. (PG) 94 minutes. SING STREET From the man who brought Once and Begin Again into this world, it’s another promising coming-of-age tale but this time with all the horrendously fantastic fashion of Dublin in the ‘80s. Add in teen aspirations of love, fame, and just making it out of high school alive and it’s a heartwarming tale that doesn’t make you want to puke (we hope). John Carney directs. Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, Aidan Gillen, Maria Doyle Kennedy co-star. (PG-13) 106 minutes. ZOOTOPIA Thank goodness it’s become OK for adults to watch kids’ movies (it has, right?). We’d gladly take a cunning bunny cop with her fox informant trying to uncover a conspiracy in a city of adorable animated animals than watch Gerard Butler do … well, anything, really. Byron Howard, Rich Moore, Jared Bush direct. Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba co-star. (PG) 108 minutes.

Fine dining at Hotel Paradox’s Solaire, plus garden-to-table edibles at Bonny Doon’s Flower Festival BY CHRISTINA WATERS

W

hen I travel by myself for arts-related business, I make sure to locate a hotel that is not only within walking distance of key attractions and close to train stations, but also offers an adjoining restaurant. After a long day of walking and shopping (or hiking and beaching if you’re in Santa Cruz) it can be comforting to simply dine in. A good hotel restaurant has to offer a wide range of dishes, ideally a full bar plus discerning and local wines, comfortable seating, and

soothing visuals. A swimming pool view can’t hurt. And Hotel Paradox’s Solaire Restaurant has all of the above. Coastal sophistication, a smart grey interior, an intimate bar with fireplace—Solaire has a lot to recommend itself, and not just for visitors or business travelers. This is a sweet spot to spend an evening out even if you actually live just a few miles away. And from what we tasted last week, the menu that chef Ross McKee originally designed continues to evolve. Beautifully presented

non-tricky dishes. Starting with fresh francese bread and three accompaniments (horseradishlaced cheddar, oil and balsamic, and butter topped with salt crystals) to the generous pours of well-priced wines, we found ourselves lulled into contentment throughout the meal. My main course of fresh diver scallops involved three full-figured, perfectly sauteed scallops joined by witty visual doppelgangers in the form of roasted cipollini onions ($30). The shellfish, presented on a shallow tide of pureed parsley root

(delicious!), were topped with frisee and dotted with delectable Virginia ham. The scallops were perfection, practically quivering with moisture, yet golden crisp on the outside. Infant branches of frisee punctuated the rectangular plate. An abundant entree of king salmon, farm-raised under ecosavvy conditions, offered lots of moving parts, including a topping of shaved fennel ($24). The thick fillet arrived surrounded by fresh mussels, tomatoes, succulent cipollino onions and fingerling potatoes. Both entrees were incredibly generous in proportion and incredibly satisfying. For starters, we split an arugula and chicory salad ($14) luxurious with a tart citrus vinaigrette, tiny mandarin orange sections, and a terrific goat cheese that played counterpoint to each bite of tangy greens. My companion liked his rich Doña Paula Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina ($11/glass), but I preferred my Cigare Volant 2011 from Bonny Doon Vineyard ($12), a true regional classic with its own bold complexity and the grace to partner even delicate scallops. The dessert menu here is temptation in and of itself. Many classics are artfully deconstructed, such as a reimagined strawberry “shortcake” with crème mousseline, or a banana brûlée with chocolate and rum caramel. Next time. Sweet spot, Solaire.

EAT YOUR FLOWERS

The College of Botanical Healing Arts throws its second annual Flower Festival and Feast, from 1-5 p.m. on Sunday, May 22. Set on a 17-acre private propery in Bonny Doon, the event features the inimitable gardento-table culinary creations of Jozseph Schultz, who will utilize edible flowers in the afternoon of hors d’oeuvres followed by a sit-down meal. Tour the garden, watch steam distillation demos, check out the essential oil blending bar, and, of course, the wine bar. Live jazz and bossa nova is courtesy of Trio Passarim, with vocals by singer Jeannine Bonstalle. Speakers during dinner include Roy Upton and Elizabeth Birnbaum of the Curated Feast.

Lawman Ramen Noodling around at pop-up BY AARON CARNES

D

owntown Santa Cruz isn’t exactly crawling with noodle joints. But Fridays will bring one more now that Assembly’s POPUP is featuring Lawman Ramen every week. Chef Amy Aja, the brains behind the operation, is also a line cook at Assembly. Lawman Ramen (the name is simply a joke that sounded catchy) functions as a separate entity, but it’s got the stamp of approval from Assembly founders Zach Davis and Kendra Baker. Aja spoke with us about her bowls of ramen, and why it’s a good thing for downtown Santa Cruz.

How does Lawman Ramen work? AMY AJA: It’s what I like to call a “house pop-up.” I have the same two bowls every week. Sometimes I do them a little differently. I use natural ingredients. So everything I use I get from the farmers market. I feel like doing it once a week gives people something to look forward to. I take a lot of pride in what I do. It’s a passion for me. It’s something that everyone enjoys, whether it’s a hot day or a cold day. It’s always fresh and it’s always filling, and it can bring a lot of flavor profiles in all at the same time. I wanted to provide this for the people of downtown Santa Cruz, so you don’t have to go over the hill to San Jose or Oakland to get good ramen.

What’s your approach to ramen? Getting into culinary arts, my strong point was Japanese food. Cooking is kind of a way to stay in touch with not only my community, but also the world. As far as ramen, I have been cooking it at home for a long time. Ramen is the way I connect with the Japanese culture just as cooking other things is a way to connect with other parts of the world. Each week I do a vegetarian bowl, and I do a pork bowl. The pork bowl is very creamy and savory. The broth is pork-based. It gets emulsified to make it creamy. I use air and fat brought into the broth, which almost brings it to a frothy, creamy texture. The shiitake broth, the vegetarian one, I start with the kombu dashi that I make in house. Kombu is basically kelp. We also have a vegan option, a bowl of soba noodles, so that everyone can enjoy the ramen, even if it’s in a slightly different way. The noodles are egg-based. What ingredients will people find in their ramen from week to week? Some of the things I use are everything from fresh radishes to daikons and watermelon radishes to carrots and greens such as rainbow chard or kale or beet greens. POPUP, 1108 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz, 316-0790.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL WINEMAKERS!

issed By An Angel Wines is a relatively new operation. I first tasted their wines just a short time ago when they were pouring at an event. Winery owners Larry and Lisa Olivo don’t have their own tasting room, but have set up shop in the Heavenly Roadside Café in Scotts Valley—where they pour their wines every weekend. Larry is a third-generation winemaker, but the first in his family to market commercially. His “Charismatic” Cabernet Franc 2011 ($32), made from a bountiful harvest in Amador County, is a seraphic mouthful of distinctive taste with sweet aromas of plum and violets. Low-tannin and food-friendly, this well-made Cab Franc also reveals exotic flavors of blackcurrant, cassis, cedar, and cocoa. KBAA is open from 1:30-5:30 p.m. most Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at Heavenly Roadside Cafe, but it’s best to check in advance, as a couple of private events are in the works.

Tragically, the Olivos’ daughter Amanda passed away in 2007 at the age of 22, and Kissed By An Angel is so named to honor her memory. Visit kissedbyanangelwines.com or call 234-6253 for more info.

JAZZ WITH A TWIST Jazz with a Twist will be playing at Aptos’ cozy Cantine Winepub from 7-9 p.m. Friday, May 13. Head to Aptos Village to taste some good wine and soak up the dulcet sounds of Joan Lowden on bass and vocals—singing as a duo with guitarist Carl Atilano—and percussion by Michael Strunk. Jazz with a Twist plays regularly at local venues such as It’s Wine Tyme in Capitola, Crow’s Nest, Bocci’s Cellar, and the Jack O’Neill Lounge in the Dream Inn— all in Santa Cruz, as well as Ella’s at the Airport in Watsonville. What could be nicer than listening to some cool jazz, glass of wine in hand? Visit basslady.com or email info@ basslady.com for more information.


H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES PREPARING FOR THE GEMINI FESTIVAL

The Gemini Festival of Humanity occurs Saturday, May 21. I am writing about it ahead of time so everyone can be aware, and, if they choose, begin to prepare this week with the New Group of World Servers. We always prepare beforehand beginning with information that leads to knowledge leading to Right Choice and Right Action. The Festival of Humanity occurs when the Sun is in Gemini at the time of the full moon (a timing mechanism for humanity). The Gemini Festival is the third of three spring festivals (Aries, Taurus, Gemini) that prepare humanity for the remaining nine festivals and the rest of the spiritual year (till Aries next year). The Gemini Festival has many names—Festival of Humanity, World Invocation Day, Christ Festival (representing humanity to His Father), and Festival of Synthesis. We are asked at the festivals, especially during the Gemini Festival to “play our part together and with strength for the purpose of world salvage.”

These three festivals (of Love, Will and Intelligence) form the foundation for the new world religion which will eventually supercede all great Eastern and Western religious festivals. The present world religions will eventually be replaced by a “new world religion,” incorporating the inner essential teachings of all religions. The new world religion will be that of Invocation and Evocation (asking/receiving)—the calling forth, receiving and anchoring (radiating) great spiritual energies to benefit humanity and build the new Aquarian culture and civilization. The Purpose of the festivals is, “the protection, liberation and stimulation of humanity,” through the distribution and transference of extraplanetary spiritual energy so right steps (Right Thinking, Right Choices) can be taken always, leading humanity “out of darkness into light, from death to immortality, from the unreal to the Real and from chaos to Beauty.” (More next week).

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

With the four planets’ retrograde it’s a time of great change for everyone, and especially for you personally. You will find yourself breaking with the past, attempting new endeavors, different ways of presenting yourself to the world. All interactions will take on different sounds, shapes, hues and meanings. Everything becomes unconventional, including your appearance and how others see you. Dress in ways you’ve always imagined.

Your daily work environment, routines, schedules and also your health may become unpredictable moving toward irregular. Some Librans love this, for it allows for more freedom. Others need the structure that reliable and regular agendas impose. You might become angry, impatient and nervous. You sometimes learn the hard way. Through loss. Gather (and add to) your beloveds. Go to church. Listen to Gregorian chant. Pray.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Someone or something is asking you to adopt a different value system, one that is not your usual and regular way of being. You resist. However, it’s important to listen, for what’s being asked affects your future. There are consequences to not listening. Perhaps you don’t know what they are yet. It’s a good idea to ponder upon these things. The old ways are in the way, everywhere.

You’re inventive and creative. At times you realize the need for more self-control. You’ll learn this eventually. Self-knowledge sometimes comes through being reckless and foolhardy at first. The most important aspect of relationships now is communication. In fact, communication is the relationship. Don’t fall back on old ways anymore. When desire arises, lift it up to the Soul. Then desire becomes aspiration. Aspiration means filled with life.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of May 11, 2016

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Flashes of insight become commonplace and grow each day. They give you information concerning decisions and what authoritative action is best. More and more your actions are unique. This could lead to opposition from others, especially those in charge. They don’t understand your choices. Each day you seek more independence. You are not afraid anymore.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Resources, money, finances, investments, and legal issues become a focus in your life. They are important at this time for organizational purposes. Do not allow yourself to become erratic or out-of-control. Your keen intuition tells you to keep track of all money, market and precious metals’ ups and downs, and to realize sudden changes may occur in business and relationship interactions. Stay poised, alert, awake, and observing.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 A new, unexpected and expanded self identity is forming. Careful! Some Virgos may unexpectedly marry without much thought. Some will divorce with even less. Other Virgos will be aware that strange things may occur around and within their relationship—erratic behaviors, a seeking of independence, possible major upsets, and unexpected changes. Some Virgos will take this in stride. Know there’s a season for just about everything.

There’s constant change to your home life. There may be a sense of confusion, an “I don’t know what I’m doing or where I belong anymore.” You wanted freedom, you wanted different and unusual living conditions. Family traditions, counter to your needs at this time, are still important. The foundations of your entire life have become unreliable and changeable. This persists. It’s very difficult. It will pass.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Thinking and communication take on dreamy intuitive multiple dimensions. Gradually, spontaneously, unexpectedly (Uranian words) you begin to have advanced new thoughts. Very few will think like you. A sense of aloneness develops until you find your group. Sometimes the garden devas become your group. Off you go, at a moment’s notice. People smile as you speed by, running at the speed of Light.

When you hear someone in need here are some words to say to them, “How can I help? Let me know how I can help you.” Are you able to do this? In the wisdom teachings the disciple is always asked to “look for the need” in all situations and to assist in filling that need. In this way the Aquarian task of serving others (humanity) is always in the forefront. A great sense of purpose follows. When one serves, one is also always “served” (helped) in return.

Happy Hour Tues.-Thurs. 5-7 pm Fri. 4-6 pm

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You develop a need to be independent and completely free, working best by yourself. Your environments, home and professional, must be orderly, clean and clear so that your investigative mind can work with ease and skill, unhindered. You need the company of creative people. This brings comfort. You need natural beauty, color and flowers. Zinnias, marigolds, moon flowers, honeysuckle. Plant them.

Instructions

Preheat the broiler and set an oven rack in the top position. Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and cook until softened and fragrant, a few minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Do not brown. Add the dry Sherry, soy sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar and water; bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer gently until just slightly thickened, 8-10 minutes. Add the sesame oil and butter and stir until the butter is melted. Set aside. Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper and place on a broiler pan (or rack on top of a baking sheet). Broil the steak to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Using tongs, transfer the steak to a cutting board; cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes to let the juices settle (don’t rush this step or the juices will gush out of the steak when you cut it). Cut the steak into thin slices across the grain and serve with the sauce. Pair with the Abras Malbec 2012 The 2012 Abras Malbec is a big wine that is loaded with stunning and long-lasting flavors of tart cherries and minerality.
