OPINION

A MESSAGE FROM GOOD TIMES’ CEO As Good Times goes to press, a disaster of unprecedented proportions is unfolding in Sonoma and Napa counties, where our sister paper, the North Bay Bohemian, is published. We’ve shut the Santa Rosa office due to the smoke. Employees have evacuated their homes, one of which may have burned to the ground. With thousands of homes and businesses destroyed, a rebuilding effort will be needed to put lives and communities back together. It’s reminiscent of the 1989 earthquake that devastated Santa Cruz for years afterwards.

For those who want to help, we’ve established a fund that will distribute all proceeds to the nonprofits on the front lines of the Sonoma County and Napa County relief efforts. Please go to rebuildsonomafund.org and assist if you can. Natural disasters are unavoidable, and too often we feel helpless when we hear that lives and homes are lost. In this case, through the Rebuild Sonoma Fund established by Good Times’ owners, and administered by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, readers can make a difference and help our Bay Area neighbors by getting money directly to the impacted areas, without administrative overhead.

METRO’S RECOVERY

Re: “Fare Question” (GT, 9/6): Three years ago, Santa Cruz METRO was in dire financial straits, with insolvency being a real threat within a couple of years. As a result of the Great Recession, METRO received $26 million less in sales tax revenue than forecasted from 20082014. This required METRO to spend almost $22 million in reserves and other non-recurring revenues to maintain its level of bus service. Due to this economic downturn, METRO was unable to maintain and upgrade its bus fleet. Of its fleet of 100 buses, almost 60 need to be replaced now. Despite these enormous challenges, and contrary to inaccurate assertions in a recent Grand Jury report suggesting that METRO was not doing a good job, METRO is back on its feet financially. It has been a hard three years at METRO with financial belt-tightening, a 19 percent service reduction in September 2016, and difficulties meeting service needs during the 2016-17 harsh winter. However, with community support, including voters’ passage of Measure D and UCSC and Cabrillo College students’ funding of student bus pass programs, we are on a path to long-term financial viability, as long as outside factors remain fairly constant. This summer METRO adopted a new balanced two-year budget and a fiveyear plan, which will not draw on limited

remaining reserves. In addition, the agency saved over $1 million in last year’s $50 million operating budget, which we can now re-allocate to rebuild financial reserves to appropriate levels, as well as begin to improve the bus fleet, which is threatening to become the limiting factor in METRO’s ability to provide bus service the community needs and wants. The costs of running any agency continue to increase, which puts METRO at risk of financial difficulties. Currently, there are no opportunities for significant increases to bus service levels. In the nearterm, METRO looks to provide additional capacity incrementally in the most needed corridors and expand daily hours of service where possible to increase the rider’s ability to access jobs and other trips which don’t fit into traditional morning and afternoon commute periods. The loss of a community bus service which provides over five million trips annually would have a major impact to the economy and the environment. Every weekday, approximately 17,000 trips are made between homes and jobs, schools, medical, shopping—primarily by people with limited transportation options. Almost 80 percent of METRO riders do not have access to private transportation and they use METRO at least five days a week. Over 750,000 of METRO’s annual boardings are by senior and disabled riders along with another 85,000 who use METRO’s on-demand, accessible-van service ParaCruz. >8

The goal of transportation is to get people moving, and an exciting plan is now in the fast lane to better link the Westside of Santa Cruz to the downtown area. The Santa Cruz Planning Commission voted unanimously on Thursday, Oct. 5, to approve permits for Segment 7 of the Rail Trail, which will put a 12-16-foot-wide trail on the coastal side of the railroad tracks from Natural Bridges Drive to La Barranca Park, around Neary Lagoon.

FishWise, a nonprofit based in Santa Cruz, has now entered the global scene as a coordinator for the Seafood Alliance for Legality and Traceability—a global initiative bringing together the seafood industry, governments and nonprofits to address environmental and humanitarian issues within the worldwide seafood supply chain. The alliance, announced at the Our Ocean Conference in Malta, aims to tackle illegal fishing and strengthen sustainable fisheries management.

It’s based on facts and it keeps you thinking.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of October 11 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 In his book The Logic of Failure, Dietrich Dorner discusses the visionaries who built the Aswan Dam in Egypt. Their efforts brought an abundance of cheap electricity to millions of people. But the planners didn't take into account some of the important effects of their innovation. For example, the Nile River below the dam no longer flooded its banks or fertilized the surrounding land every year. As a result, farmers had to resort to chemical fertilizers at great expense. Water pollution increased. Marine life suffered because of the river's diminished nutrients. I hope this thought will motivate you to carefully think through the possible consequences of decisions you're contemplating. I guarantee that you can avoid the logic of failure and instead implement the logic of success. But to do so, you'll have to temporarily resist the momentum that has been carrying you along. You'll have to override the impatient longing for resolution.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Are you primed to seek out new colleagues and strengthen your existing alliances? Are you curious about what it would take to infuse your best partnerships with maximum emotional intelligence? From an astrological perspective, the next nine weeks will be a favorable time to do these things. You will have opportunities to deepen your engagement with collaborators who cultivate integrity and communicate effectively. It's possible you may feel shy about pursuing at least one of the potential new connections. But I urge you to press ahead anyway. Though you may be less ripe than they are, their influence will have a catalytic effect on you, sparking you to develop at an accelerated rate.

GEMINI May21–June20 "I was satisfied with haiku until I met you," Dean Young tells a new lover in his poem "Changing Genres." But Young goes on to say that he's no longer content with that terse genre. "Now I want a Russian novel," he proclaims, "a 50-page description of you sleeping, another 75 of what you think staring out a window." He yearns for a story line about "a fallen nest, speckled eggs somehow uncrushed, the sled outracing the wolves on the steppes, the huge glittering ball where all that matters is a kiss at the end of a dark hall." I bring Young's meditations to your attention, Gemini, because I suspect that you, too, are primed to move into a more expansive genre with a more sumptuous plot.

OCTOBER 11-17, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

Statistical evidence suggests that Fridays falling on the 13th of the month are safer than other Fridays. The numbers of fires and traffic accidents are lower then, for example. I find this interesting in light of your current situation. According to my analysis, this October's Friday the 13th marks a turning point in your ongoing efforts to cultivate stability and security. On this day, as well as the seven days before and seven days after, you should receive especially helpful clues about the future work you can do to feel even safer and more protected than you already do.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 Too much propaganda and not enough real information are circulating through your personal sphere. You're tempted to traffic in stories that are rooted more in fear than insight. Gossip and hype and delusion are crowding out useful facts. No wonder it's a challenge for you to sort out the truths from the half-truths! But I predict that you will thrive anyway. You'll discover helpful clues lodged in the barrage of bunkum. You'll pluck pithy revelations from amidst the distracting ramblings. Somehow you will manage to be both extra sensitive and super-discriminating.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 A journalist named Jenkin Lloyd Jones coined the term "Afghanistanism," which he defined as "concentrating on problems in distant parts of the world while ignoring controversial local issues." I want to urge you Virgos to avoid engaging in a personal version of Afghanistanism.

In other words, focus on issues that are close at hand, even if they seem sticky or prickly. Don’t you dare let your attention get consumed by the dreamy distractions of faraway places and times. For the foreseeable future, the best use of your energy is HERE and NOW.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 "I am more interested in human beings than in writing," said author Anais Nin, "more interested in lovemaking than in writing, more interested in living than in writing. More interested in becoming a work of art than in creating one." I invite you to adopt that perspective as your own for the next twelve months, Libra. During this upcoming chapter of your story, you can generate long-lasting upgrades if you regard your life as a gorgeous masterpiece worthy of your highest craftsmanship.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Scorpio actress Tara Reid told the magazine *Us Weekly* about how her cosmetic surgeries had made her look worse than she had been in her natural state. "I'll never be perfect again," she mourned. I bring this up in the hope that it will inspire you. In my astrological opinion, you're at a tuning point when it's crucial to appreciate and foster everything about yourself that's natural and innate and soulfully authentic. Don't fall sway to artificial notions about how you could be more perfect than you already are.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 I didn't go to work today. I woke up late, lingered over a leisurely breakfast, and enjoyed a long walk in the autumn woods. When I found a spot that filled me with a wild sense of peace, I asked my gut wisdom what I should advise you Sagittarians to attend to. And my gut wisdom told me that you should temporarily escape at least one of your duties for at least three days. (Escaping two duties for four days would be even better.) My gut wisdom also suggested that you get extra sleep, enjoy leisurely meals, and go on long walks to spots that fill you with a wild sense of peace. There you should consult your gut wisdom about your top dilemmas.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 A snail climbed to the top of a big turtle's shell as it was sleeping under a bush. When the turtle awoke and began to lumber away in search of food, the snail was at first alarmed but eventually thrilled by how fast they were going and how far they were able to travel. "Wheeee!", the snail thought to itself. I suspect, Capricorn, that this little tale is a useful metaphor for what you can look forward to in the coming weeks.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 "If these years have taught me anything, it is this," wrote novelist Junot Díaz. "You can never run away. Not ever. The only way out is in." That's your plucky wisdom for the coming weeks, Aquarius. You have arrived at a pivotal phase in your life cycle when you can't achieve liberation by fleeing, avoiding, or ignoring. To commune with the only kind of freedom that matters, you must head directly into the heart of the commotion. You've got to feel all the feelings stirred up by the truths that rile you up.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 J. Allan Hobson is a scientist of sleep who does research at Harvard. He says we dream all the time, not just at night. Our subconscious minds never stop churning out streams of images. During the waking hours, though, our conscious minds operate at such intensity that the lower-level flow mostly stays subliminal. At least that's the normal state of affairs. But I suspect your dream-generator is running so hot right now that its stories may leak into your waking awareness. This could be disconcerting. Without the tips I'm giving you here, you might worry you were going daft. Now that you know, I hope you'll tap into the undercurrent to glean some useful intuitions. A word to the wise: The information that pops up won't be logical or rational. It will be lyrical and symbolic, like dreams.

EXERCISE

CAUTION. Wearing a bike helmet is not only required for youth under 18, it’s recommended for adults as well. But helmets are not enough to prevent serious injury; you should ride your bike defensively and be alert. As a California cyclist, you have the same rights as drivers, but also the same responsibilities. Stay safe and help give cyclists a good name by: • Stopping at red lights and stop signs. • Using hand signals before turning.

OPINION

METRO continues to need and welcome the support and partnership of other agencies in the county, as well as the support of the community. Together we can ensure a future where METRO provides a viable bus service alternative option to that of the private automobile for those who need the bus service, as well as want it.

any question that the effects of our ever changing and disrupting climate have affected the severity of the massive hurricane in Houston? Can we continue to ignore the signs and await further “proof” that the climate is changing, faster, and more dramatically? This is the one issue which unites all life on this planet. Humans are the species responsible for these changes, and humans can have an impact on their mitigation. No other political or environmental issue compares in importance. Wake up people, call out loudly for attention to this crisis.

WELLNESS

LITTLE CROP OF HORRORS Studies are showing that carbon dioxide levels are depleting nutrients and protein in our produce. Several studies have shown that rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are affecting the nutrients in our food.

Crop Risk

tandard nutrition recommendations for a healthier diet usually start with the advice to eat more vegetables and whole grains, and less junk food. But what if the vegetables and whole grains that we are supposed to be eating are actually becoming junk food? The problem sits at the intersection of nutrition and climate change: rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are depleting our produce of nutrients, and it could have severe consequences worldwide. While climate change may occasionally be a controversial topic despite all the scientific evidence, one fact that is undisputed is that atmospheric CO2 levels are

historically high and continuing to rise. According to the scientifically renowned Scripps Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Keeling Curve, which measures atmospheric CO2, the latest reading, taken on Oct. 6 at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, showed that levels are slightly over 400 ppm (parts per million). According to Scripps data, from at least 10,000 years ago up until the mid-1800s, the atmosphere had a pretty stable CO2 level of around 280 ppm. But then the Industrial Revolution really started cooking and about 150 years later, here we sit at 400 ppmâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;many scientists believe that in the next 50 years levels will reach 550 ppm or more. Not only a major cause of ocean

acidification, which is itself catastrophic to marine ecology, rising CO2 levels may also have drastic effects on land. According to an emerging body of scientific evidence, growing CO2 levels is not only increasing the amount of carbohydrates and sugars in many of our staple crops, but also decreasing their protein and mineral content. Perhaps the first and still one of the most internationally prominent researchers to look at the problem, mathematical biologist Irakli Loladze, Ph.D., published a paper in 2014 that was a landmark study in the field and examined the link between rising CO2 levels and nutrient levels in plants. His meta-

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | OCTOBER 11-17, 2017

Science wakes up to how CO2 levels are threatening vitality of our produce BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE

analysis included more than 7,500 observations across 130 species of plants. Results showed that an increase in atmospheric CO2 resulted in not only lower mineral and protein levels in the plants, but also more carbohydrates in the form of starches and sugars. In 2015, another meta-analysis published in Nature by Dietterich et. al, also demonstrated that elevated CO2 levels resulted in decreased amounts of minerals like zinc, iron, calcium, and potassium in many of our staple crops such as wheat, rice, barley, legumes and potatoes. These studies also found that protein levels dropped significantly in many crops as well. Much of the data gathered in these analyses comes from FACE (free-air carbon dioxide experiment) studies, which compare crops grown under normal and current conditions against a similar nearby crop grown under elevated CO2 levels. And while the curtain is only now being pulled back on this global phenomenon, when its ripple effects into other already problematic areas are considered, the situation becomes even more concerning. Many people, especially those living in developing nations, consume much of their protein from plants. Rising CO2 levels causing a drop in plant protein levels worldwide would mean hundreds of millions more people at risk for protein malnutrition. The same goes for minerals like iron and zinc, for which worldwide deficiency is already a major problem. Perhaps the glimmer of hope in all of this news is that the scientific community is becoming more aware of the problem, and starting to research it thoroughly and look for solutionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;such as breeding more nutritional crops that may mitigate the effects of being grown in a CO2rich environment. Hopefully, a more complete picture of how rising CO2 levels affects the levels of protein, minerals, vitamins and other nutrients in plants will emerge. But at this point, the field of research is in its infancy, and there are far more questions than answers.

Everybody’s Business After a summer of closures, will Santa Cruz ever be the same? BY JACOB PIERCE

itting on the concrete steps of 418 Cedar St., John Glenn lights up a cigarette. Glenn—no relation to the famous astronaut—is spending a Sunday repairing a well-known yellow Victorian that he owns. Black letters, painted high on the wall, read “Dr. Miller’s,” a sign harking back to the structure’s days as a dental office. Glenn and his friend Vic Brooks, a contractor, are working on the building, which was formerly Caffe Pergolesi, the popular

downtown café, known for its cheap organic coffee and laid-back vibes, that closed in late August. Recent months have seen the closures of other high-profile Santa Cruz businesses, as well—Goodwill’s Bargain Barn, Mr. Goodie’s Antiques, Logos Books & Records, Jedzebel, and Seven Bridges Organic Homebrew Supply. When Pergolesi owner Karl Heiman announced that, after 44 years, his café would close for good, it seemed to fit right into the trend—but that didn’t make it

any less depressing. Activist Wes Modes told journalist Bradley Allen—who broke the news about Pergolesi via Facebook—that everyone knew the reason for the closure, saying, “You can no longer afford to live here. You’ve been priced out and so have all your favorite places.” But Glenn, who owns the property, says he didn’t raise the rent or evict anyone. Glenn claims Heiman wasn’t doing his share of maintenance, and so he offered his tenant a >14

“Americans cherish immigration in hindsight, not so much in the present day,” immigration advocate Ali Noorani tells me. Actually, he’s relaying something that Doris Meissner, President Bill Clinton’s Immigration and Naturalized Service commissioner, told him once, but the point is clear: as much as the United States is a nation of immigrants, it is also a nation of people trying to prevent immigration. That tension is as old as the country itself, Noorani says, but anti-immigration sentiment seemed to reach a fever pitch this past year, culminating in a wave of fear that helped carry President Donald Trump to the White House last fall. However, Noorani, who was born in Santa Cruz and raised in Salinas, says that antiimmigration rhetoric isn’t the only problem. The left has gotten more extreme in its positions too, he says, and any concern that many ordinary Americans might express about immigration gets immediately labeled as bigotry. Noorani doesn’t think these two polarized positions represent most Americans’ day-to-day views, which is why he traveled the country and interviewed 60 people, mostly conservatives in positions of power— business owners, farmers, law enforcement officers, church leaders—who are grappling with this issue. “I think that the majority of Americans live between two poles on this issue,” says Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum and author of There Goes the Neighborhood: How Communities Overcome Prejudice and Meet the Challenge of American Immigration. “One pole is they believe we’re a nation of laws. We need to have secure borders and a strong sense of security. The other pole is to be part of a more compassionate nation.” Noorani still believes that Americans can make positive changes in how they treat immigrants and integrate them into the fabric of society. It will take an entirely new approach to the ongoing debate, >18

NEWS EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS <13 month-to-month rental agreement, which Heiman declined. “It was all in the lease. I don’t want to throw darts, you understand? That’s what I want to put on the record. He wasn’t asked to leave by me,” Glenn says. Heiman, for his part, says there is no asset value in a business that doesn’t have an annual lease. An 1886 Victorian like the old Pergolesi building requires a lot of upkeep, Heiman says, and he claims that Glenn had been slow to make repairs that the lease required him to make on his end. Both men declined to

send GT a copy of their agreement. Glenn has no timeline for filling the building, which he cannot tear down because it’s listed as historic, and he says he has no idea what kind of business will open there next. The minutiae is relevant because the demise of this beloved café has come to epitomize, for some locals, an unwelcome shift toward a Santa Cruz that is not even affordable for its longtime businesses and residents. So if the reality of Pergolesi’s closure is somehow more complicated, what does that say about the narrative surrounding

it and the other shuttered businesses? Are the closures really all connected? And if we learn the causes, will anyone be able to do anything about it? Glenn and Heiman both point to an isolated problem that plagued the old café: the homeless, who would loiter at the corner of Elm and Cedar streets by Pergolesi. Heiman says he was never able to get city councilmembers or the police to do anything about the issue. Of course, one could still argue that the transient issue is, in fact, connected to increased >16

GUINNESS MYSTERY

On the morning that surfers paddled out to honor Jack O’Neill, it quickly became obvious that the turnout would match the outsize legacy of the legendary wetsuit innovator, who had passed away at age 94. A huge crowd of a couple thousand surfers gathered, forming a circle in the waters off 38th Avenue on Sunday, July 9. O’Neill’s former trainer Rocky Snyder looked on from the Team O’Neill catamaran nearby, and, during his quick remarks, proudly yelled into a microphone that attendees had “shattered” the world record for the biggest paddle out ever, a record set by surf enthusiasts from none other than Huntington Beach—Santa Cruz’s arch rival in the surfing world—just a few weeks prior. Huntington Beach’s number for its paddle was 511 surfers. Huntington Beach’s attempt, sure enough, was good enough for Guinness World Records. But it was still only one fourth, at most, of what Santa Cruz would draw a few weeks later. Someone at O’Neill Wetsuits did officially submit the Santa Cruz event for the Guinness record too, says Brian Kilpatrick, the vice president of marketing,

although he can’t remember who sent it off. Regardless, the amusing chain of events surrounding the effort might just push this old rivalry between two cities that both proudly claim to be “Surf City” to new heights. Down in Huntington Beach in June, the executive director of the local surfing museum there had organized a paddle out to celebrate the sport’s induction into the 2020 Summer Olympics. (Organizers also hoped that the stunt might help the city secure the honor of hosting the event when the summer games eventually come to Los Angeles.) Committed paddlers had floated around for hours in the water, trying to join hands in one full circle. Holding hands, after all, is a customary part of paddle-out protocol. But hand-holding is more difficult for a larger swarm, like the one of 3,000 or so that gathered in Santa Cruz a month later. Some Team O’Neill organizers, riding surfboards and personal watercrafts, tried to get paddlers to all join together, but it quickly became obvious that such efforts were futile. In the days after the Santa Cruz paddle, Guinness World Records spokesperson Sofia Rocher told GT that it could

take up to 12 weeks to respond. As of Sunday, Oct. 8, though, it’s been 13 weeks. So we followed up with Rocher and asked: What gives? Were the Guinness bosses in the middle of a drunken argument about Californians and hand-holding? Were judges scouring the Encyclopedia of Surfing and pondering the true definition of the term “paddle out?” Demurring, Rocher responded that she was “unable to confirm whether or not there have been issues with the evidence received.” Hmmm, we didn’t ask about evidence. But since Rocher brought it up, we had to wonder if there was a problem with the evidence submitted by someone at O’Neill. Kilpatrick tells GT that originally the team had been excited to go for the record while planning the paddle. But then it became clear that Guinness would want each surfer tagged with a number and even have organizers keep track of every surfer who went in or out the water that day—all things that Huntington Beach organizers did at their event. “At a certain point, it was like ‘Let’s forget it,’” Kilpatrick remembers. “We’re not trying to break a

record, we’re trying to honor Jack.” Fair enough. Still, one would think there’s plenty of proof that Santa Cruz demolished the record, given that there are dozens of high-res photos of the Pleasure Point paddle, but apparently, photographic evidence is no longer an accurate way to measure crowd size. (Seriously, though, who the heck is in charge of recordkeeping over at Guinness—Sean freakin’ Spicer?) Kilpatrick grew up in Santa Cruz, often known to locals as “Surf City.” He admits that it was tempting to hunt down a surf record set by Huntington Beach, where the visitors bureau officially trademarked the term “Surf City, USA” and eventually went so far as to famously sue a shop on the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf over the store’s “Surf City” T-shirts. “But that’s neither here nor there,” Kilpatrick says. More to the point, we can’t blame So Cal wannabes for their obvious superiority—at least when it comes to shamelessly seeking validation. Heck, if Santa Cruz had crappy waves, we would probably be indoors chasing records and trademarks, too. JACOB PIERCE

costs, in a county with both a welldocumented housing crisis and a growing homeless population. Heiman says the factors are complex. “I hate to say the word ‘homeless,’ because there are about 10 different demographics that go into homelessness,” Heiman says. “There’s the family that lost their home. There’s the vet that’s homeless. There are the mentally ill that are homeless. Our problem was just the people who were drunk and would hang out all the time by the café.” Heiman, who serves on the Think Local First board and still owns Mr. Toots Coffee House in Capitola, says people have been telling him that Santa Cruz will never be the same after the attrition this summer. “I heard it from another person today,” he says. “A business owner said that everything is changing and going away. I’m sure there are lots of reasons for all of it. I’m just not sure everyone has the same reasons.” At least on the surface, the reasons for the closures don’t appear to be connected. The Bargain Barn moved to Salinas, where it tripled its floor space. The owners of Mr. Goodie’s Antiques retired, as did Logos owner John Livingston, reluctantly leaving behind an operation that he says had not been profitable for years. The owner of clothing store Jedzebel did not agree to an interview, nor did the management of Seven Bridges, although it’s been no secret in the brewing community that the cooperative had always been difficult to run, in part because of its commitment to certified organic products. Another business, the sushi restaurant Mei Garden, closed after selling its Ocean Street property. Next door, its tenant Coffeeville, which had developed a fervent following in less than two years of business, had to move out as well. Coffeeville, Pergolesi and Jedzebel all closed the same day—Sunday, Aug. 27. It’s possible that if the recent summer seemed bleak for local businesses, that’s because it really was, at least according to Teresa Thomae, the director of the county’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC)—and she doesn’t see things

getting better. Thomae says the recent shift in the Santa Cruz economy is more than just a matter of perception, and the threats facing the local economy are real. The underlying trends right now, she says, are increasing rents, mixed with the growing threat that online sales pose to local retail. “I still think that locally owned small businesses are going to have a place here,” she says. “They always will. But with the reality of what square footage costs, it’s getting harder and harder for anyone with a small business to survive.” Thomae says that many businessowning baby boomers are looking to retire, and she hopes employees are ready to step up and try to buy local institutions when the time comes, something she wants to facilitate through the SBDC. Thomae is currently developing a retail outreach program with the Downtown Association and Santa Cruz economic development director Bonnie Lipscomb that will launch in November. Also, retail expert Robert Gibbs will be returning to Santa Cruz at the end of October for a few days, Lipscomb says, to update his 2010 business analysis, on a contract of about $10,000, aiming to provide some guidance. Meanwhile, more chains have found their way to Santa Cruz. A few blocks north from the old Coffeeville location, a Starbucks opened in July. A few blocks further, a Habit Burger Grill and a Dunkin’ Donuts are on the way. Coffeeville owner Kendra Mcqueen is currently working with the Watsonville Planning Division to open a new Coffeeville location in the East Lake Village. She looks forward to hopefully opening soon down in Watsonville with Mike Goble, her life and business partner, although she hopes the South County town doesn’t change much. “It really has a lot of potential. It’s a neat little town,” she says. “Everyone I know from when I grew up who has purchased a house has purchased in the South County. We’re getting priced out—not to diminish what’s already there in Watsonville, because I really value the history and what’s there.”

DIVERSE VIEWPOINTS Ali Noorani, who was born in Santa Cruz, comes to Allterra Solar on Thursday, Oct. 19, for a discussion about

his new book, ‘There Goes the Neighborhood: How Communities Overcome Prejudice and Meet the Challenge of American Immigration.’

OCTOBER 11-17, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

EVOLVING DOOR POLICY <13

a topic he’ll address at a discussion about his 2017 book at Allterra Solar at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 19. “As seemingly ugly as things are right now,” says Noorani, who’s based in Washington D.C., “there are a lot of folks of good will who want to find a different way forward. I can’t help but to be optimistic about that.” Noorani says that while politicians usually never get past their basic talking points, most Americans simply care about how immigration is affecting their communities directly. Some have made compromises, and others are coping with the changing face of their neighborhoods. Noorani never vilifies his subjects, but instead tries to understand their struggle and tend to their concerns. “There’s one big thing that I learned in the process—that for the majority of Americans, the immigration debate isn’t about politics

and policy, it’s about culture and values,” Noorani says. “I think underneath the economic anxieties that people feel come with immigration, is a cultural anxiety, and a fear that the country is changing. What does that mean for them and their children?” Conversations with police officers revealed that most of them want to develop trust with undocumented immigrants so that all people will feel comfortable reporting crimes. The whole point, Noorani says, is to encourage more civil debates and find areas where all Americans can find common ground. “I wanted to bring out some of those anxieties and try to understand them a little better,” Noorani says, of his book, “but also try to understand how those anxieties can be addressed. I worked really hard to develop a level of trust with folks.” Noorani’s optimism isn’t blind, and he says that sometimes it’s “hard to get out of bed every morning and go to work”

knowing the challenges he faces every day advocating for immigrants. But looking around at the rest of the world and seeing this as an issue everywhere, he sees aspects of American culture that make for a more positive debate. “We have institutions to help people integrate in the U.S., to help Americans to understand how things are changing,” Noorani says. “Those institutions are churches, the media, schools. And our institutions have had years of practice doing this. It doesn’t mean it’s perfect or it’s easy. But we’re certainly not starting from scratch.”

Ali Noorani will discuss his new book, ‘There Goes the Neighborhood: How Communities Overcome Prejudice and Meet the Challenge of American Immigration’ at Allterra Solar, at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 19, at 207 McPherson St., Santa Cruz. The event is free. For more information, visit allterrasolar.com or call 425-2608.

Ladies, Can We Talk? Are you one of the many women who are suffering from stress urinary incontinence, the problem of involuntary leaking. Do you suffer with dryness, atrophy, or laxity?

I highly recommend Dr Lonna Larsh and her staff to any woman struggling with leakage. I know several woman who have gone the surgical route with mixed results and I never wanted to do that but I was getting to the point where it seemed my only option. After the consultation I decided to undergo the FemiLift procedure. I am happy to share that I am midway through my treatments and the leakage has almost totally stopped. I no longer have to even considering surgery. It is truly amazing! Other added bonuses are increased sensation and tightening and toning. My kegels are stronger and deeper and I even have more awareness and control of the muscles. - Christina A, Aptos CA

echoes throughout the gallery. “Sometimes people approach me about projects—that seems to happen organically,” she explains. “People really want to show their work, so I’ll pick something that I’m interested in; for example, an installation.” She plots out the gallery schedule a year in advance, and closes each year with an invitational. “End of the year is the spirit of giving. Why not give art?” Radius may be a nonprofit, but it’s still a business. What feeds her? “The changes and the variety. We’re open Wednesday through Sunday, noon to five, and I try to be here during those times,” she says. “Organizations like Catamaran will rent the space for receptions. I’m here for most of those events.” Her 18 years of art biz experience pays off. “The vocabulary is natural to me.” Hazels says she still does contractual work for nonprofits when need and opportunity arise, but admits she still needs to make art. “I exhibited here at Radius recently with three other artists—I did pieces about windows and reflections, water and clouds.” Admitting that she has a desire to do “big things,” Hazels says that gallery success would mean being able to pay artists commissions. But for now, it’s crucial to make people respond—and laugh. “The next show is wild,” she promises. “I want people to come in with fresh eyes.” The Radius Gallery is at 1050 River St. #127.

DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN The Coffis Brothers and their band the Mountain Men will give locals a taste of their new record when they play Moe’s Alley on Friday, Oct. 13.

Petty Cool

OCTOBER 11-17, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Taking inspiration from the late Tom Petty, the Coffis Brothers are making their mark beyond Santa Cruz BY CAT JOHNSON

amie and Kellen Coffis picked up harmony early. The brothers behind local group the Coffis Brothers and the Mountain Men grew up singing children’s music onstage with their mom, who exposed them to a variety of harmony groups, including the Everly Brothers and the Boswell Sisters. The experiences helped make music second nature. “Harmonizing has always come easily and naturally to us,” says Jamie. “I see some people struggle with that, but it’s an innate ability with us because it’s been ingrained from such an early age.” As adults, the brothers and their band have emerged as rising stars of the local music scene. They’ve carved

a musical niche for themselves, expanded their fan base throughout California and now Jamie is a DJ at KPIG. Though their band gets the generic “roots music” descriptor, the sound is closer to 1970s rock, with keyboard-driven tunes, two guitar parts, catchy hooks and singalong harmonies. Lyrically, the band covers love, making it through hard times, changing perspectives, life and loss. Comprising Kellen on guitar and vocals, Jamie on keyboards and vocals, Kyle Poppen on lead guitar, Aidan Collins on bass and vocals, and Sam Kellerman, who replaced longtime drummer Henry Chadwick, the group draws comparisons to the Southern California-based band Dawes, but its primary influence

stretches back well before that. “Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have given us the outline,” says Jamie of their appreciation of uncomplicated tunes that stand the test of time—Petty’s “Free Fallin’” is the song that pops to his mind. “That’s kind of our playbook.” The two recently saw the late Petty in concert and marveled at the experience. “Everyone sang along to every song,” says Kellen. “You can sing along even if you don’t know the song.” Kellen took up the guitar at the age of five, under the guidance of local guitarist Steve Palazzo, who encouraged the youngster to sing while playing. “I still have old guitar charts that are handwritten by Steve,” he says.

Once Kellen started writing songs and jamming with friends, Jamie took up writing as well, gravitating to the keyboards. “I just needed something to do to accompany myself,” he says. “I was an average keyboard player. I took lessons forever but never got that great. I was kind of a bad student.” He adds with a laugh, “I’ve just learned some tricks.” Casual jams grew into an official band that has developed a sound of its own. The Coffis Brothers and the Mountain Men draw from proven classic rock, but the band has a down-home feel about it. This is probably due to the fact that the brothers were raised in Ben Lomond, with its “slow life” culture, natural beauty, and mountain music scene. On Friday, October 13, the band celebrates the release of its new album, Roll with It, which was recorded at the famed Barefoot Studios in Los Angeles. Recording at Barefoot presented the band an opportunity to record on analog tools to tape, an experience that forces artists to focus on getting good takes live and not relying on digital edits. The result is a record that’s warm, nuanced and gorgeous. It’s the next step for a band that’s been grinding for years and is starting to see the hard work pay off. “Every year has been a little better than the last year,” says Kellen. “We’re starting to get fan bases outside of Santa Cruz. We don’t show up and sell 300 tickets, but we’re seeing people come out in the North Bay and San Francisco and San Luis Obispo. That hasn’t happened before.” Jamie adds that because they stay busy and the changes are slow, they don’t always recognize them. But when they look back five years, they’re “definitely doing a heck of a lot better.” “You realize that at least we’re not playing in front of two people at some shitty bar,” he says. “We’re playing in front of people, usually, and we’re getting paid a little bit, usually, and we’re playing more often, so we’re going somewhere.” The Coffis Brothers and the Mountain Men will perform at 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 13 at Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 479-1854.

While highlighting Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, Edward Elgar’s Introduction and Allegro for Strings, and Bela Bartók’s Divertimento for String Orchestra—“Stringing You Along” showcases the talent of flautist Vicki Melin, violinist Shannon Delaney D’Antonio and harpsichord Linda Burman-Hall. The nearly sold out the Jewel Theatre last year and will likely draw an even bigger crowd this year, so get your tickets in advance. INFO: Sunday, Oct. 15. 3 p.m. UCSC Recital Hall, 402 McHenry Road, Santa Cruz. espressorch.org. $5-$37.

WEDNESDAY 10/11 KATHRYN D. SULLIVAN LECTURE As the first American woman to walk in space, and the only woman astronaut to explore the ocean in a deep-sea submarine, Kathryn D. Sullivan is a champion boundary-breaker—one of the most influential women of our time—and she’s coming back to Santa Cruz. A former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) administrator, geologist, and UCSC alum, Sullivan will give a lecture, “From the Sea to the Stars,” co-hosted by the Rio Theatre and Santa Cruz Natural History Museum, just in time for the 33rd anniversary of her spacewalk. She credits UCSC with getting her to where she is now, noting that she originally wanted to study languages, but the flexibility and support of the university allowed her to shift academic focus and eventually join NASA. “I’m delighted to have a chance to get back to Santa Cruz, as the town and place and as the campus,” she told GT. “I wouldn’t even be a scientist, much less a celebrated scientist, if I had gone to college anywhere else but UCSC.” Among her many accomplishments and awards, Sullivan was chosen as one of TIME magazine’s 100 most influential people, and her name appears in the Astronaut Hall of Fame and Women Divers Hall of Fame. She says she hopes that this event will inspire others, particularly young people, to avoid settling for predetermined or short-sighted goals. She explains that many put students pressure themselves to reach a certain GPA, job or salary—what she calls assured outcomes—without thinking outside of the box. It’s this type of thinking, she says, that limits their potential. “Trying to build a life based on assured outcomes leads you to a much smaller, more incremental life than I would hope young people will dare to aim for,” she says. “The world and our country really need people that are not just aimed at small assured outcomes because you won’t solve today’s problems by chaining yourself to the assured outcomes of old methods.” Sullivan hopes to talk about voyaging, exploration, and the dire need for passion and ambition, even in times of political turmoil and conflict within green politics. While she admits that her scientific accomplishments are exceptional, she believes anyone can reach for the stars. INFO: 7 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave, Santa Cruz. santacruzmuseum.org. $18.

FRIDAY 10/13 DAY OF POETRY AND MUSIC While there are always options for literature discussions and live concerts, music and literature rarely share the same headline. But this week, Poet Laureate Dana Gioia and National Medal of Arts composer Morten Lauridsen will be leading a two-part event on the intersecting relationship between music and art. The earlier section is geared toward children (ages 8-18), and fostering an appreciation for literature and music. Later on, Gioia and Lauridsen will hold a discussion-style workshop for adults, and the Cabrillo Youth Chorus will perform poems by Gioia accompanied by Lauridsen’s music.

Show Time

Restaurant Week has become a chance for Santa Cruz County chefs and dining staff to showcase what they do best BY LILY STOICHEFF | PHOTOS BY KEANA PARKER

he first time I went out during a Santa Cruz Restaurant Week, I was dead broke. I had just started my second year at UCSC and was surviving on free sandwiches, coffee, and bagels from the coffeehouse on campus that I worked at part-time. When a friend discovered that for one week a bunch of nice

restaurants in town would offer three-course dinners for $25, I scraped together enough cash to go, eager to take a break from my mundane diet and enjoy a nice meal for once. Although I had been lured out to dinner by a good deal, the experience ended up meaning so much more. For one thing, I had my first gnocchi, which was life-

changing in itself. But everything— the excitement of going to a new restaurant for the first time, the thoughtful curation of the menu, the careful attention of the waitstaff, indulging in three courses, and, most importantly, taking the time to share a special meal with friends— left me with a great memory. It’s easy to see why locals flock to participating restaurants during

this event each year, but what sometimes goes unnoticed is how much the restaurants look forward to Restaurant Week, too. Not only because their dining rooms are full, but because they can proudly showcase their menu and their place in the dining scene to a legion of new diners. Many in the industry, I found out when I spoke with them, take the opportunity to visit other

<4 restaurants to enjoy their special menus as well. Its timing at the beginning of fall, after most of the tourists have gone home, gives us all an opportunity to get back in touch with our restaurant community by going out, sharing a meal, and celebrating one of the reasons why living here is so special. I asked each restaurant how they

prepared for Santa Cruz Restaurant Week and why it is an important community event. It’s apparent when you read their answers how excited they are to welcome new guests, show returning customers how appreciative they are of their patronage and take part in a countywide celebration of our cuisine.

Why should guests choose your restaurant to visit during Restaurant Week? “Aquarius is undoubtedly one of the premier dining venues in Santa Cruz for a couple of reasons. The most obvious one being that it is right on Cowell Beach and affords some of the best beach and surf views in Santa Cruz. Secondly, and more importantly, Chef Ken [Drew] is new to the restaurant (since April of this year) and is doing some great food. He is truly passionate about using products from local farms and purveyors. You can often find him at the Farmers Market on Wednesday afternoons. His style of cuisine is truly modern Californian, while he maintains the classical tried and tested culinary arts. The Restaurant Week menu has been designed to showcase his true culinary talents.” — MARK OZA, DIRECTOR OF FOOD & BEVERAGE AT AQUARIUS AT THE DREAM INN 10>

“This year we changed our approach from last year. We decided to do the $25 menu and really increase the value. We have a couple of what I call “lost leaders” on our main menu, really great dishes that sometimes get lost among the favorites, and we decided to feature those on our Restaurant Week menu. It’s a good way for us to showcase what we do here.” — MIKE GOSS, MANAGER AT CREMER HOUSE

“As we do with all of our menus, our Restaurant Week menu is value-priced, still only $25 for three generous-sized courses. Our long-time Executive Chef Jeff Westbrook has so much fun stepping outside the box to create this menu, and his enthusiasm is shared by the servers as they serve these beautiful meals.” — BLAINE NEAGLEY, RESTAURANT MANAGER AT THE CROW’S NEST

“We were thinking of bringing back some old favorites for people to try in case they forgot about them. We decided to bring back the trout, and to include slowcooked baby back ribs because I feel like over the last few years we’ve really perfected the recipe and I want to get the word out about that. We want to remind people that we still make great desserts, with the addition of a warm apple pie with the world’s flakiest, butteriest crust ever.” — ED HOFFMAN, FOUNDER AT HOFFMAN’S

“The approach we took to our Restaurant Week menu was to offer a little something for everyone; we want anyone who dines with us to feel like they have options. We’ve incorporated old favorites and special items for this menu. Having a menu that is inclusive to everyone’s dining preferences is important to us. We have created a menu that will definitely cater to any flavor you are looking for, so come on in and indulge yourself.”

“Restaurant Week is an important event in the community because it gives people the opportunity to experience new and different restaurants and meals that might be out of their comfort zone without creating a financial strain on their pocketbook. This week is the perfect time to create special memories with friends and loved ones while stimulating your taste buds.”

“What we like about this event is that it puts Santa Cruz in the eyes of a lot of people in the Bay Area. It also brings together local people to get to know our local cuisine. I think that’s very important. It makes [the event] not just local, but regional. Restaurant Week gives us a strong connection between our neighbors who live here and the Bay Area.” — MANUEL RANGEL, MANAGER AT EL JARDÍN

“It works! There’s been an amazing response in the last few years. We do two or three times the normal amount of business on those nights. It’s a nice festive atmosphere. It gets people downtown that don’t normally come out here. A lot of people don’t eat out as much as they should. There’s too many people cooking in Santa Cruz. It’s really a phenomenon how busy it is.”

“There are a lot of things going on in the country and people are struggling to find their peace again. There are tough times to get through every day, but food brings people together. There’s so much happiness and joy when they go out and experience a good meal and have fun again. Santa Cruz is like a small community, people come and go. During this week, we come back together again. It’s truly important for us to go out and have fun. This is the most beautiful, tastiest time for tourists, for everyone, even for me. It feels special again, and the customer feels like a star, like they’re very special. It’s a beautiful moment to go out and experience everyone’s creativity.” — AYOMA WILEN, OWNER AND CHEF AT PEARL OF THE OCEAN

“People get stuck in the restaurants that they go to. They go to the same places and eat the same dishes, because that’s what they know. Santa Cruz Restaurant Week is an opportunity to get out there and try new things without breaking the bank. You could try two or three restaurants for the amount you’d pay to the one you go to every week. It gets people out of their comfort zone and into new things. If you don’t like it, at least you tried it, and if you do like it now you have a new option. You can get a feel for restaurants at a discount price, but still have a full meal and have a full experience.” — DUSTIN MILLER, ASST. MANAGER AT SPLASH

“Being in such a seasonal and tourist-based area, Restaurant Week allows restaurants to cater to our own community. As students or parents, eating out can be expensive and Restaurant Week affords individuals who maybe otherwise couldn’t afford the opportunity to enjoy a three-course meal for a reasonable price. At the same time it allows the restaurants an opportunity to remind locals what makes each of us unique and special.”

“Santa Cruz Restaurant Week allows the chefs of all participating restaurants to take the stage and engage in a bit of lighthearted competition. Plus, a week dedicated to a special menu at a reasonable set price is fantastic for drawing in new clientele who might not normally go into Red! This event also prompts members of the community who would not normally leave the house to get together with friends and reintegrate some positive memories into their lives. We all get wrapped up in the stresses of life, and passing time with loved ones is so crucial. It is medicine for the soul!”

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND JUDO NO

AJ Leone remembers the first time he heard Afro-Peruvian music. Chileanborn Osvaldo Vergara, who formed the band Kombucheros in 2003 in Santa Cruz, showed it to him. “It’s just a different addictive rhythm that I got stuck on. I can’t explain it,” Leone says.

OCTOBER 11-17, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

From 2008 through 2015, Leone joined Osvaldo’s band. He also made several trips down to Peru to dig a little deeper into the music and the culture. He particularly enjoyed touring in Latin America as a solo artist.

He’s returning to Latin America for a three-month tour, starting in January, but this time with his band Judo No, a trio that encompasses some of those Afro-Peruvian influences he’s loved for the past decade, but with a much greater array of styles. It’s psychedelic, hiphop, and just whatever crazy jazz and indie influences crosses the minds of the three members: Leone (vocals, multiple instruments), Lauren Albert (vocals, keys), and Chris Gourlay (drums). “Lauren’s got a very classically trained background. She brings a lot to the table,” Leone says. “Chris has got a drum style I’ve never heard before. He was living in Chicago and played in some crazy band that was kind of like Animal Collective, it was very electronic.” AARON CARNES

INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 13. Crepe Place. 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

SARAH JAROSZ

WEDNESDAY 10/11 ALT-ROCK

THE BREAKING The first ever episode of Portlandia includes a skit where the entire joke was that Portland is a city where it’s still the ’90s. Portland four-piece alt-rock band the Breaking apparently saw this skit and thought it was documentary footage. The band bio talks about how the city has become a “cultural mecca” and “faddish,” but that they stick to the town’s roots, which is apparently ’90s brooding, introspective pop-rock. I can’t speak to whether this is an accurate depiction of the “authentic Portland sound,” but clearly the Breaking loves the ’90s, particularly the stuff with lots of minor keys and hearts firmly stapled to their sleeves. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994.

HAWAIIAN

MAKANA Usually when the topic of “Hawaiian slack guitar” is discussed, an old guy with traditional songs is at the center of the discussion. Makana is not

only young and innovative in his approach to this traditional, laid-back Hawaiian style of music, he completely redefines it. For starters, his music isn’t exactly mellow. Makana writes call-to-action worthy political anthems. He appropriately refers to his genre as “slack rock.” He’s written about the Occupy movement, Bernie Sanders, and has been a Ted Talks presenter. Many people have heard his music as the soundtrack for the film The Descendants, but I like to think “We Are the Many,” his song about the Occupy movement, is a better representation of what he’s about. AC INFO: 7:30 p.m. Kuumbwa, 320 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/gen, $40/gold. 427-2227.

THURSDAY 10/12 ROCK

DICK DALE When talking about surf music, two names come to mind: the Beach Boys and Dick Dale. For over half a century, the latter has kept his crown as the King of Surf Guitar through his relentless touring and distinct sound. He is credited as one of the first American musicians to

not incorporate heavy fuzz into his tracks, but expanded on a number of intricate scales into pop music. His 1962 classic “Misirlou” stands as such a surf rock standard that Quentin Tarantino used it as the main theme in his legendary 1994 film, Pulp Fiction. MAT WEIR INFO: 8:30 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $35/adv, $40/door. 429-4135.

NEWGRASS

RISKY BISCUITS Fresh off a gig playing the mainstage at the Strawberry Music Festival, Risky Biscuits bring the show to Felton. A roots outfit from the Sierra Nevada foothills, the Biscuits— you’ve got to love a good play on words for a band name—traverse bluegrass, newgrass, folk and Americana with tight harmonies, driving instrumentation, and a whole lot of mountain soul. The six-piece springs from traditional bluegrass, but the members add a modern twist and relaxed, playful spirit that set them apart from the pack.

SARAH JAROSZ Fans of A Prairie Home Companion recognize Sarah Jarosz as a regular on the reinvented, Chris Thile-hosted radio show. The multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter from Wimberley, Texas makes frequent appearances and impresses the audience with her stunning voice, easy handle on guitar, mandolin and banjo, and natural lyrical abilities. Jarosz has been in the spotlight since she was in her teens and she’s now what the Austin Chronicle called “one of the most stirring musicians of her generation.” On Friday, Jarosz and company hit Santa Cruz in support of the band’s latest album, Undercurrent. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $28/gen, $40/gold. 423-8209.

FOLK-ROCK

MASON JENNINGS A Honolulu-born singer-songwriter who now calls Minneapolis home, Mason Jennings weaves intimate tales with acoustic guitarwork that calls to mind Jack Johnson, Ray Lamontagne and Iron & Wine. But his penchant for historical and literary themes gives him an added dimen-

sion and sets him apart from his contemporaries. He’s perhaps best described as an artist whose medium is music. In 1997, Mason recorded his first album on an analog four-track in the living room of a rented home. He’s since dropped 20-plus records and remains a constant presence on the folk-rock landscape. CJ

SATURDAY 10/14 ROCK

SHAWN MULLINS Singer/songwriter Shawn Mullins might not be a household name, but you definitely know his work. OK, so maybe only the coolest of cool know his college radio trio, Shawn Eric Mullins with Twice Removed, but anyone who was alive in 1998 will distinctly remember his radio hit, “Lullaby.” Mullins’ work continued to permeate the pop realm through soundtracks to hit TV shows like Dawson’s Creek and Scrubs, solidifying his place in American culture. The Grammy nominated artist is touring off his ninth studio album, My Stupid Heart. MW INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 479-1854

It was a dark and windy night when Vince D’Andrea was heading home to Felton with his bass in the bed of his pickup truck. Taking flight, the bass came to a tragic end, which is why a quadruple bill of bands he’s performed with is coming together at Don Quixote’s and donating half the proceeds to the D’Andrea Bass Memorial Fund (shh, don’t tell Vince, it’s a surprise). He’ll be playing saxophone with the rockin’ roots reggae combo the Leftovers, and drums with the roots reggae band Brain Food (unless another drummer shows up, in which case he’ll take over on bass). He’s played with the eclectic group Monkeyhands and Celtic rockers North Coast Rovers in the past, too, and they joined the roster to get him back in the groove. His comrades are hoping to raise enough to equip his truck bed with a restraint system to avoid future catastrophes. ANDREW GILBERT

ROOTS

Growing out of the Los Angeles club scene, Silversun Pickups has become a staple of modern alternative music. The band got its start back in 2005 and draws easy comparison to iconic alt-rock band Smashing Pumpkins, and ’90s rock band My Bloody Valentine, with its indie-rock anthems and trippy, ethereal grooves. Like its influences, the band moves between catchy pop hooks and darker melodies and tones. The most recent Silversun Pickups offering is 2015’s Better Nature. On Saturday, Oct. 21, the band kicks off a 20-date headlining tour at the Catalyst. Also on the bill: Minus the Bear. CAT JOHNSON
