You were a mountain of a man, shaved head, blue eyes, and tatted from head to toe. I was in line ahead of you, a petite Shebrew, wondering if there was cause for concern. I sneaked a peek at your neck for a swas or SS symbol over the carotid artery (seen them there twice). And what did I see? “Emet!” I blurted, reading the large Hebrew lettering spelling out the word for “truth.”

You looked at me strangely, then smiled. “Yeah, I forget other people can read it, too.” You blushed a little, “My grandma reminded me of the irony before she passed.” “The irony” referred to Leviticus’s commandment forbidding Jews to have tattoos.

“You completely flew under my Jewdar!” I said.

(Conversely, I look like an age-progression of Anne Frank and sometimes have born-again Christians tell me how much they love the Jewish people.) You laughed, “I get that a lot. I grew up in north Idaho, so I had to push that part of me down.”

I nodded, “Couer d’Alene was skinhead country.”

“Yeah, but I returned it again through Kabbalah.

You know, embracing the light.” We both chuckled. A bit more chit-chat as I paid for my stuff, then we wished each other well. You gave me a great gift that day: a little hope that we don’t have to be divided simply by virtue of our appearances.

And that’s the emet.

One Man’s Trash

As tenants of the historic Morse Mansion— one of the few Queen Anne Victorians left in Santa Clara and the only one in the city listed on the National Register of Historic Places—members of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority are more than a little guarded about who’s allowed on the property. So it raised some alarm when one sorority sister watched a middle-aged man traipse onto the property and proceed to dump a bunch of electronics and documents into the They mansion’s trash bin.

Did

The Santa Clara What?

University student who SEND TIPS TO witnessed the incident FLY@ last month snapped a METRONEWS. photo of the trespasser COM to share with fellow sorority sisters and one of the Old Quad neighbors, who recognized the uninvited guest as none other than accused sexual harasser DOMINIC CASERTA. “It weirded them out,” a source familiar with the situation tells Fly. “And I can see why: The man did not look well.”

The Old Quad neighbor advised the sorority sister to lodge a complaint with the city to report the illegal dumping by one of the city’s former elected leaders.

She reportedly obliged.

Caserta—a councilman and aspiring Santa Clara County supervisor whose political career was derailed in May of 2018 by revelations of his allegedly longstanding history of sexual harassment and bullying—has laid low for the better part of this past year while ostensibly plotting litigation and, as of earlier this month, dealing with his divorce.

But Fly’s been hearing about more Caserta sightings around his abode, which happens to lie kitty corner from the sorority house.

That spatial positioning must be awkward for Kappa Alpha Theta, considering how no small number of the high school girls he taught over the years have accused him of unwanted touching, hugging, hair-stroking and chest-ogling.

Caserta’s young coed neighbors would be well advised to not only lock the dumpster, but to draw the blinds.

CANNABIS RISING The pot industry is divided on whether the industry should be unionized.

Kushy Jobs Union organizers woo Silicon Valley’s weed workers as pot industry grows

BY JONAH RASKIN

C

AN UNIONS organize cannabis industry workers, some stoned, some sober, others undocumented and still others with college degrees? It’s tricky.

The upsides: a unionized industry could help improve wages and working conditions for men and women who labor in California’s cannabis fields, warehouses and shops. Unions could also assist the industry as a whole by rendering it more transparent, and by insisting on standards that contribute to the health and safety of employers, employees and consumers.

The downsides: a wobbly workforce that’s still laboring underground in many cases and that doesn’t really need the union dues on top of the onerous tax burden that comes with compliance.

With the industry’s increasing

corporatization, there’s also more pressure to please investors by managing labor costs. Meanwhile, there’s not one or two, but three unions angling to ramp up their rolls with the Silicon Valley cannabis labor pool.

The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW)—the only labor group to officially back Proposition 64, which legalized adult use in 2016 and launched the system of regulation and taxation that’s now in place—is one of the unions pushing to organize weed workers in Silicon Valley. “We’re still considered the major union pushing the regulatory and legislative efforts in the state,” says Jim Araby, the UFCW’s executive director for the Western States Council and the point person for cannabis-sector unionization in California.

The Cannabis Workers Rising campaign in the South Bay, however, is still in its infancy. Araby is still

conducting outreach with workers and conversing with cities—Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and even Milpitas, which recently voted to ban commercial pot sales—about creating a regulatory structure that grows the industry.

Under the state law, all pot businesses with more than 20 employees must sign a labor peace pact as a condition of qualifying for renewed licensing this spring. In San Jose, where regulations mandating vertical integration created some of the state’s largest dispensaries, that requirement applies to all 16 permitted storefronts.

Despite a tight deadline, organizers expect a long adjustment period for the industry, which has undergone dramatic transitions from the black to gray markets—where workers had little recourse against problems like harassment, wage theft and other symptoms of power disparities—to today’s heavily regulated legal reality.

Elsewhere throughout the Bay Area and beyond, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), whose drivers already transport legal weed throughout the state, is pushing out into the fields and warehouses of the region’s agricultural swaths.

It’s a challenge to obtain accurate information about where and what

8 uncomfortable dealing with people in the underground economy. Once the Teamsters unionized workers, it helped legitimize the industry.”

Heidelbach carries on Broad’s legacy. Over the past three years, she has staked out the Emerald Triangle, made up of Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity counties, for organizing pot workers. The Emerald Triangle has for decades been the heart of the California cannabis industry— though it’s losing ground to Salinas, Monterey and Santa Barbara, where municipalities are eager for tax revenue from the emerging economy.

Heidelbach is presently focused on working conditions in the Emerald Triangle and beyond, where the pot workers are often pleasantly stoned.

But many are also unhappy with the long hours, the repetitive work and the demand to turn out product quickly. “A lot of trimmers and dispensary workers are treated unfairly,” Heidelbach says.

“At one place, I was told, ‘We’re good to our workers, but you can’t talk to them.

They’re idiots.’”

Along with the condescending tone directed at workers, Heidelbach has also gotten an indifferent, if not cold, shoulder from big commercial operators. One local industry spokesman who insisted on anonymity says the weed industry is now so squeezed by taxes that it can’t survive further squeezing by the Teamsters.

The new taxes that are part of the Prop. 64 legalization regime have made it nearly impossible for individuals without big financial backing to enter the market. Immigrant trimmers are also pretty wary of the uptick in union agitation. Rosa (not her real name) is 25 and from Central America; Santiago (not his real name) is 29 and from South America. She has a passport and a visa; he has no legit papers. What they make in four months here lasts a year back home. Three years ago, they earned $25 an hour as trimmers. By 2018, the wage had dropped to $15.

Working conditions are onerous but Rosa and Santiago haven’t sought union representation and say they won’t strike or rock the boat. Santiago worries about Rosa. “She has trimmed on remote farms where growers hit on her,” he says.

“There’s little, if any, protection.”

Jennifer Wadsworth also contributed to this report.

the Teamsters are actually doing in the Bay Area on the cannabis front— in part because there’s competition between rival local labor organizations that nobody in the union-advocacy movement wants to talk about, at least on the record.

It’s understandable that the union doesn’t want to tip its hand and invite sabotage at the hands of “right to work” agitators. And it’s a touchy prospect going in: Some cannabis companies are still underground or straddle a gray border that divides the legal and the illegal. For its part, the UFCW asks that the Teamsters kindly step back.

“The UFCW has a Cannabis Workers Rising Campaign,” UFCW spokesman Jeff Ferro says. “We would hope [the Teamsters] respect our jurisdiction.” The United Farm Workers (UFW) also aims to organize a share of the industry. “If you’re a cannabis worker, we want to talk with you,” says UFW national vice president Armando Elenes.

Another Teamster spokeswoman who requested anonymity says the union is aware of competition from the UFW and UFCW. One difference, she says, is that Teamsters don’t want to be organized-labor militants. “We aim to be an advocate for the industry, not a thorn in its side.”

Organizers note that there’s still some lingering bitterness in California’s Central Valley between the UFW and the Teamsters, who tried to elbow out Cesar Chavez’s organization in the 1970s. But it was a different Teamsters in the ‘70s—in bed with organized crime and with corrupt ex-convict Jimmy Hoffa as its leader. The union has taken great pains to reform its image and organization since its mid’70s lowpoint, when Hoffa disappeared and was presumed to be killed by the Mob. He still hasn’t been found.

It’s a different union today, even if it is headed by James Hoffa Jr. Kristin Heidelbach heads the Teamsters Cannabis Division in the state capitol, travels widely and provides a recognizable name and face to an industry that has historically been reluctant to go public. Heidelbach worked closely for more than a decade with her mentor, Barry Broad, a Teamsters lawyer from 1985 until his retirement last year. For much of his career, Broad focused exclusively on cannabis issues. “Government officials,” he says, “had been

TRAILBLAZER Teresa Guerrero-Daley, who ushered in a new era of accountability for San Jose’s law enforcement, died last week surrounded by family and loved ones.

San Jose’s First Police Auditor Dies at 67

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH Teresa Guerrero-Daley—who served for more than a decade as San Jose’s first independent police auditor— died of cancer Sunday in her family home. She was 67.

While campaigning for the bench in 2004, Guerrero-Daley would tell voters that she dedicated her life’s work to the ethical administration of justice. A native Spanish speaker who was once terrified of public speaking and almost didn’t graduate from high school, she went on to earn a juris doctor from Lincoln Law School and became the first female special agent for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration assigned to San Jose.

In that role, she worked on many an undercover operation to crack down on possession, transport, import and manufacture of illegal drugs. Later, as an attorney who ran her own practice, she tried complex cases, including a death-penalty jury trial. From 1993 to 2005, Guerrero-Daley helmed the office of San Jose’s Independent Police

Auditor (IPA), where she ushered in a new era of accountability for local law enforcement. At the time, San Jose’s model was pioneering.

Calling the job challenging would be an understatement. As the city’s inaugural IPA, Guerrero-Daley faced plenty of criticism. Despite the backlash—and no small degree of sexism—she managed to weather the storm for well over a decade while proving to be what former Mayor Susan Hammer once described as a “fair, honest and impartial leader.”

Colleagues say Guerrero-Daley brought that same ethos to the bench, serving as a trial court judge from 2005 until her retirement in 2017. In 2011, inspired by her own struggles as a teenager and moved by the difficulties she saw youth facing in juvenile dependency court, she founded the nation’s first middle school education court, a program designed to improve academic outcomes for foster kids.

Despite the demands of her career,

Guerrero-Daley managed to make time for community service. She co-founded the Silicon Valley Hispanic Foundation and the San Mateo County La Raza Lawyers Association.

She also served on a number of nonprofit boards, including that of the Arts Council of Silicon Valley. Though not an artist herself, she would often say that she loved being around creative people.

In a Facebook post earlier this week, retired judge Ron Del Pozzo described Guerrero-Daley as a dear friend. “Even though I knew she only had a short time to live, the pain of her loss is deep,” he wrote. “Teresa was like a sister to me and so many others who knew and loved her.”

Guerrero-Daley is survived by her husband, Frank Daley, a retired policeman, and their four sons, Peter, Ernie, Edward and Jason. The family will host a memorial service at 11:30am on May 13 at Redemption Church, 105 Nortech Parkway, San Jose.

High-rise Developer Lowers Building Height Amid Backlash A developer has scaled back plans for a massive high-rise office building in Santa Clara after residents and the City Council voiced concerns the project would be too tall.

Kylli Inc., a subsidiary of Chinese developer Genzon, originally submitted plans for an expansive mixed-use community that included a 600 foot high-rise building, which is about 50 stories tall. It would have been the tallest building in the South Bay—by far.

The developer’s new plans for the property at 3005 Democracy Way have reduced the height of the building by 30 percent to 400 feet tall. The adjustment came in response to concerns from local residents and city officials were concerned that the original plan wouldn’t fit well with the city.

“We heard that the height was the topmost concern,” Randi Gerson, vice president of real estate for Kylli, said.

“Through careful reconfiguration, we were able to address that concern in a significant way ... while still retaining the amenities that the community was asking for, like a grocery store, cafes and shops, a public school and daycare centers.”

The rest of the project, called Mission Point, is an expansive development that includes 3.65 million square feet of office space, 400,000 square feet of retail, eight acres of parks and open space, a new hotel, daycare facilities, a public school and 6,000 housing units. Fifteen percent of the housing units will be affordable, a Kylli spokesperson said.

Andrew Crabtree, Santa Clara’s director of community development, said it’s the largest project in the city’s pipeline, and because it’s still in the early planning stages, its effect on traffic and transportation still needs to be evaluated.—Rachel Sandler

ETERNAL WANDERER Exhibits at Chaplin’s World pull visitors into the silent filmmaker’s work.

Wandering eye Columnist tramps through Chaplin’s world, from San Jose to Switzerland

BY GARY SINGH

I

N 1915, WHEN Charlie Chaplin made his short film A Night Out, the Tramp’s exploits included some footage in downtown San Jose, at the Alcantara building, the red brick structure at Post and Market streets. It wasn’t Chaplin’s only appearance in this neck of the woods, of course. Some 20 years later, Chaplin would also visit his good friend John Steinbeck, while the author was writing The Grapes of Wrath in Los Gatos.

This means without even leaving my own neighborhoods I can walk in the Tramp’s footsteps.

Yet this wasn’t enough. It’s never enough. So, last month, it was time to “expand my outreach,” as the power-networking gurus say, and go straight to the source: Chaplin’s World, a museum unlike anything I’ve ever visited, in Corsier-surVevey, Switzerland, on the property where Chaplin lived the last 25 years of his life before passing away on Christmas night 1977.

Inside Chaplin’s World, one of the text panels gave me the best description of this column that I have

ever read: “The Tramp is the eternal wanderer, at home on both country roads and in city streets. On his travels ... he mixes with all levels of society and has met thieves, drunks, fake pastors, penniless girls, insolent kids, street vendors, factory workers and the cream of society.”

But there was so much more.

Upon entry to Chaplin’s World, one first sits in a small theater to watch a short film about Chaplin’s life, after which the screen rises, allowing one to enter a mock London street environment, emulating where he grew up, with scenes from The Kid playing behind windows. The rest of the museum emerges in similar fashion, modeled like a series of film studios, with space after space resembling scenes from films like Gold Rush, The Circus, Modern Times, The Floorwalker, The Great Dictator or The Bank, while film montages play on screens. Text panels explain various stories behind the films, and viewers thus immerse themselves in Chaplin’s World, so to speak.

The museum occupies one

structure, while the second building, Manoir le Ban, where the family actually lived, is likewise transformed into a multistory exhibit space, filled up with even more photographs, exhibits, facts, figures and timelines. It is here that a wall-size multimedia display lets you click through portraits of all the 20th-century figures Chaplin befriended—everyone from Einstein to Gandhi. There’s also a restaurant, aptly called The Tramp, with an old-school Hollywood vibe.

It all sits on Chaplin’s original 10acre estate with amazing views of Lake Geneva and the Alps.

Of course, there’s a dark side.

During the McCarthyism era, Chaplin was banned from living in the United States by the conservative slobs in charge, who considered his lifelong sympathy for working class people, humanitarians and pacifism to be unpatriotic and worthy of investigation. With his family in 1952, Chaplin was aboard the Queen Elizabeth from New York to London, en route to attend the premiere of his film, Limelight, when the barbarians in DC revoked his return visa. After essentially building the American film industry, and living and working in the US for 40 years, he was no longer allowed to do so. To some, Chaplin was an ungrateful immigrant—an insult that slobs often hurl at various targets even today. As a result, Chaplin relocated his whole family to Switzerland, where he lived what, according to him, were his best years.

Later, Chaplin was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1975. Six of his films are preserved at the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress, and to this day he holds the record for the longest standing ovation at an Oscar ceremony, at 12 minutes.

After spending time in Chaplin’s World, one can even wander through the quaint village of Corsier, past markets, restaurants and theaters he frequented, and even follow placards to his gravesite. His last wife, Oona, who gave birth to eight of his kids and who died in 1991, is buried right next to him.

Standing there at the graves of Charlie and Oona, I felt nothing but gratitude for San Jose, California. At least the city hasn’t thrown me out. Yet.

GREEN HOUSE Coastal Sun farm, located in Watsonville, grows their medical-grade cannabis next to organic turmeric, tomatoes and blueberries.

Eating Green Cannabis farm tour goes behind the scenes of Santa Cruz marijuana production

BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

P

ENNY ELLIS IS pretty much a farm tour queen. She co-founded Santa Cruz’s Open Farm Tours five years ago to bring consumers and farmers closer together, and her passion for agritourism has recently led her into some new territory: cannabis tours. Although she admits to being a marjiuana novice (both in practice and in theory), she says the techniques and sustainability of cannabis farming are more relevant than ever.

“When people go out and meet farmers and see where their food is grown, it makes a big difference,” Ellis says. “And that applies to cannabis, too. I really believe that people getting out and meeting the growers and asking questions, that’s a really important part of the whole picture.”

Since many of the practices that apply to organic agriculture also apply to the cannabis industry, Ellis created the tour to help make consumers more aware of the practices behind cannabis farming since legalization. The three farms that will be featured—Coastal Sun, Bird Valley Organics and

Lifted Farms—are all established commercial growers that supplied medical marijuana dispensaries prior to legalization.

“A lot of the farms are really excited to be coming out of the shadows, because before legalization they were living underground for so long and hiding everything; it didn’t feel legitimate,” she says. “That’s got to be hard. So this is really a big deal for them.”

The staff of Therapeutic Healthcare Collective will also talk about the necessary role that dispensaries play in the cannabis community as a source of education and access. After the tour of the three farms, there will be a farm-totable, family-style dinner prepared by local chef Dare Arowe featuring some terpene-infused dishes and beverages. While terpenes are a nonpsychoactive component of cannabis, they are responsible for the aroma and mellower effects, such as anxiety and stress reduction.

Arowe, a rising star on the Santa Cruz dining scene with a penchant for mixing Asian and Southern cooking.

The farm-to-table menu features a variety of light seasonal options—from roasted onion salad, with arugula and golden beats to a fresh crudo with eanglish pea and wasabi foam, togarashi, goat yogurt and herbs.

The main course blends Arowe’s influences, as she plans to serve roasted pork belly and braised short ribs along with grits, slow cooked shelling beans, braising greens and charred cauliflower.

Don’t be fooled by the event’s promotional video, with its cameos of joints the size of dinner plates, dabs and delicious-looking whole-hog barbecue.

For Ellis, the focus of the event is on the education and appreciation of cannabis farming. While the dinner is bringyour-own-4/20 friendly, the organizers will not be selling or providing cannabis, and consumption is not allowed on the tours.

“I’ve learned so much it’s unbelievable. There is a massive amount to cannabis production,” Ellis says. “After I heard about the history of cannabis, especially in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, it was fascinating.

To hear about the strains that began in Corralitos, like Blue Dream, I didn’t realize that this area played such an important historical role.”

When Ellis began planning the cannabis tour, she was in contact with eight farms. But once conversations around security began, she says some of the farms were concerned and ended up opting out.

“The three farms on the tour now are very secure; there’s always people there, and it’s not like you can just go and walk around,” she says. “But security is always a concern because the crops are a lot of money, and it’s not unusual to get poachers, especially with outdoor growers.”

“Right now there are so many misconceptions about cannabis.

There is still a stigma around it, and it’s gotten a really bad rep, but in reality there are so many things that we don’t know about it,” Ellis says.

“We want to turn that around so people can see it as something that can be really good in their lives.”

FAMILY BAND Following three generations of Sherman family songwriters, ‘A Spoonful of Sherman’ is playing at 3Below.

Sweet Memories ‘A Spoonful of Sherman’ revels in some of the most iconic Disney tunes of all time

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

T

HE SONGS OF Walt Disney are embedded so deeply in the average person’s cortex that trying to analyze them is like trying to figure out if your mom is pretty or not. Most weren’t Disney’s songs per se, but the work of a team of sibling songwriters— Robert and Richard Sherman.

Robert’s son, Robert J. Sherman has organized a selection of these tunes in the theatrical production A Spoonful of Sherman, which garnered strong reviews during its original run in London. It is now making its U.S. debut at 3Below.

It’s conclusive evidence that the

Shermans’ tunes were often far better than the movies they were in. Some were appealing sugar-frosted pop with nonsensical sesquipedalian words.

Others, like the somber Mary Poppins hit “Feed the Birds,” as powerfully sung

by Susan Gundunas, are a spear right through the heart.

This 3Below production features a five person cast, with Barry Koron on piano making it six. They’re dressed in Main Street U.S.A. raiment, with Stephen Guggenheim and F. James Raasch in checkered suits, straw boaters and black sleeve garters.

The three female vocalists—Theresa Swain, Shannon Guggenheim and Gundunas—went Eisenhower-era in polka dots and crinoline.

Spoonful of Sherman covers the family’s three generations of songwriting talent, looking back to Al Sherman, father of Robert and Richard. The tradition continues up through three of Robert J. Sherman’s songs from 2015’s Love Birds. The show starts with some of Al Sherman’s 1920s tunes; top of the heap is the exuberant “Best of Buddies,” performed by Guggenheim and Rasch.

The team of Richard and Robert Sherman began when these college boys were challenged by their father Al to write a tune the kids would pay a nickel for at the jukebox. Together, they did “You’re Sixteen” which charted twice, first by Johnny Burnette (1961) and then by Ringo (1973). The Shermans spent the JFK years coming up with upbeat pop for Annette Funicello and Hayley Mills. Employed for years as Disney house songwriters, responsible for all the catchiest tunes at Disneyland, Robert and Richard scored Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and also a new musical of Cinderella, The Slipper and the Rose. The latter is the source for some retrieved treasure: Shannon Guggenheim’s peak here is a song of renunciation, “Tell Him Anything,” and there’s a robustly morbid tune “What a

Comforting Thing to Know” about the denizens of a royal mausoleum.

Moods of hilarity and sadness, ably segued, reflect the contrasting personalities of the brothers. The 2009 documentary The Boys: The Sherman Brothers’ Story told of the alienation underneath the partnership. In an after-show appearance, Sherman said he didn’t even think that “the boys” was a way Disney referred to the Shermans— “These were all big men. They’d been vets, and Walt was a vet, too.”

The younger Richard never left the states in his Army uniform. The elder Robert Sherman had a bad war. He was with, I think, the Rainbow Division when they liberated Dachau, before getting shot in the kneecap by the Nazis.

Robert was a novelist and a painter and an anglophile whose time in England helped his work on Mary Poppins.

Props recalling Poppins are on the stage at 3Below, such as a paper kite and the magic nanny’s macaw-headed bumbershoot. Certainly, a “Spoonful of Sugar” is a delight, staged with Raasch whistling and pantomiming the part of Julie Andrews’ partner, the mechanical bluebird.

Jungle Book (1967) was the last cartoon Walt Disney supervised, and it’s surprising how much texture even the obscurer tunes have. Everyone knows the orangutang’s song “I Wanna Be Like You,” and it works its customary delight here. The less known “My Own Home” is sung in the movie during a scene that’s like a cute animated version of Pather Panchali. As performed by Swain, it takes inflections of Gershwin-like poignancy. Similarly, Jungle Book’s venue of vultures warbling “That’s What Friends Are For” is a highlight here, with the ensemble enfolding even the pianist Koron in the musical group-hug.

With more than 50 songs, either complete or in snatches, it runs long; the book repeats points. It plays for Disneyish enthusiasm, which could use a curbing. Clearly Robert J. Sherman has gold here, and a little polishing could make it shine even more.

DOPE POSE Marijuana pairs well with yoga and other workouts, according to two San Jose fitness and cannabis enthusiasts.

As marijuana continues its journey into the mainstream, a pair of fitness instructors aim to open a cannabis-friendly gym

BY JULIA BAUM & NICK VERONIN

F

OR THE BETTER part of a century, cannabis users have been painted in an unfavorable light as stoners and slackers. Here, in the highly progressive and counter-culturally informed Bay Area, it’s doubtful that many continue to cling to the harshest of these stereotypes or believe that responsible marijuana will unravel the underpinnings of civilized life as we know it.

But the perception that smoking a joint or eating a space cake is a one-way ticket to an evening on the couch still persists. Judy Ann Kekki and her partner Jean Paul Aceves want to change that.

While the pair of San Jose residents regularly harness the calming effects of cannabis to relax at the end of the day, they also turn to the plant’s active ingredients—THC, CBD and a variety of other organic compounds known as “terpenes”—to boost their energy and increase their focus, all in the pursuit of a better workout.

Kekki is a yoga and meditation instructor. Aceves is a fitness enthusiast with a passion for jiu-jitsu and other high-intensity sports. And both believe that marijuana is an excellent complement to physical activity.

Together they run occasional classes that pair cannabis with either a slowmoving yoga flow or a meditation session, holding one or two sessions of each class every month.

So far, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. “It’s so funny, they almost feel like they're in awe that something like this exists,” Kekki says of first-time attendees. “A lot of people have not tried the three together and when they do, they have their own profound experience.”

Pairing psychotropics and yoga poses is not new—even on the commercial level. Dee Dussault, a former Bay Area resident and the author of the 2017 book Ganja Yoga, has been hosting courses like this since 2009. She even has her own franchise of sorts; her website provides links to 14 “certified ganja yoga instructors.” Most are located on the West Coast.

However, it seems that Kekki and

Aceves may be the first to openly advertise such a course in the South Bay. They currently use Instagram and the Meetup app to spread the word. At the moment that’s all they do, as they want to make sure class sizes remain small and that they don’t run afoul of the law. All events are held on private property with permission from the landlord, and no cannabis is sold. Rather, participants are invited to bring their own pot or choose from a variety of free sponsorprovided products on site.

“We have to do it this way until the policies and laws change,” she says. “I just make sure it’s on a private event

basis; I don't accept walk-ins; I don't sell any cannabis, so we walk that fine line.

It’s as if I’m inviting them to my home, just smoking out with my friends.”

Kekki says that a few athletes come to her classes, including a regular group of powerlifters who defy disparaging stoner stereotypes. “It just goes to show that there are people in the fitness industry using cannabis,” she says. “A lot of active people are coming to my classes, and that's the stigma we're trying to break.”

It all makes sense to Aceves.

He is a champion of the power of

cannabis to help during high-stress workouts as well as with recovery.

At every one of his and Kekki’s classes, he spends the first hour consulting with attendees and offering them advice on how to dial in their perfect dose. There are many factors he considers, including the ratio of THC to CBD, the strain—sativa, indica or hybrid— and the method of delivery.

He calls it “cannabis performance facilitation” and he aims to make a career of it, explaining that he and Kekki hope to eventually open their own gym. “Not a dab lounge or someplace for people to come and smoke,” he cautions. “We want a gym that acknowledges the endocannabinoid system.”

Aceves is not a research scientist, though he works hard to understand the available science that supports his practices and he firmly believes that he is on the bleeding edge of a coming revolution—the open blending of marijuana and exercise.

“Who knows—in five or 10 years it might be like 24 Hour Fitness,” he says. “I can’t imagine a world where

I’m not allowed to use cannabis, let alone go work out and lead a healthy lifestyle.”

Kekki also sees the business potential behind her practice. She and Aceves have even come up with a name— INEX, a play on the constant reminders to inhale and exhale that regular yoga practitioners will recognize.

But this project is also a very personal one for Kekki. In the wake of her brother’s suicide a few years ago, she has found that yoga and meditation in combination with cannabis use help center her and brighten her days. She believes that cannabis-infused meditation and yoga can help all people transcend trauma, maintain a healthier mental state and build long-lasting friendships.

“I have a lot of regulars now and everybody's sharing their trials and tribulations, so we really are healing together,” she says. “It’s really healing for me, the power of this plant.”

T’S HAPPY HOUR at the MeloMelo kava bar in downtown Santa Cruz on a warm, early spring afternoon, and I’m looking to “wet my whistle” as Dean Martin might have said. But there isn’t a drop of scotch or gin or even beer to be found here—it’s not that kind of place—so I saddle up to a suitable barstool, motion to the barkeep and order a tall frosty glass of CBD-infused brew on tap.

“Blood orange or lemon ginger?” she asks.

“Lemon ginger,” I say, as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world. It’s

white, fizzy, opaque, kind of like a Tom Collins without the maraschino cherry. It’s also pretty refreshing.

CBD is shorthand for cannabidiol, a once obscure chemical compound found in cannabis that is having its moment in the pharmacological spotlight. If chemicals were pop singers, CBD would be Cardi B. Unlike its cousin THC, which is responsible for many of the best known psychoactive effects of marijuana, CBD is marketed as non-psychoactive. This might not be strictly true. Consuming CBD can alter one’s mood, dull pain and make a user drowsy, but it won’t produce the kind of head high familiar to those who have ever smoked a joint.

HIGH TEA Some maintain that CBD is most effective when combined with THC. These teas by Kikoko have both compounds.

It’s not going to make jazz sound any better or make your tie-dyed Gaelic knot tapestry dance.

So what’s the point of taking CBD? That depends on who you ask.

Common claims include that it will reduce inflammation, help manage anxiety and combat insomnia. Some go further, touting CBD’s ability to fight cancer, for example. But hard evidence is scant.

It is a truism of contemporary capitalism that markets operate on a different time horizon than science. And there is no more vivid illustration of this phenomenon than the current CBD craze.

One need not travel to Santa Cruz to sample CBD. It can now be found in hundreds of consumer products including tinctures, oils, capsules, topical creams, lip balms, salt soaks, vaporizer mists and soaps. It’s been added to chocolate bars, coffee, candy and cocktails. Jack’s Knob Polish is a CDB-infused “personal lubricant,” and Bed Bath & Beyond carries a variety of CBD remedies—including a line of canine-oriented cannabis products sold under the brand name Dog Whisperer.

This avalanche of commercial

opportunism is centered on a chemical that is still in a weird legal limbo. Almost every state in the country has some laws governing legal cannabis use, and a few allow legal use of CBD, which can be extracted from the hemp plant. A member of the cannabis family containing very little THC, hemp has been cultivated for thousands of years for a variety of practical applications, including the production of paper and textiles.

Marijuana is legal for recreational consumption in 10 states, including California. However, under the federal Controlled Substances Act, cannabis is still designated Schedule I—meaning it is highly addictive and has no medical value—unlike cocaine, a Schedule II drug that is still sometimes used as a local anesthetic during ear, nose and throat surgery.

Complicating the picture further is the recently passed federal farm bill, which legalized the production of industrial hemp, the nonpsychoactive variant of cannabis (which has a noble role in early American history). The San Benito County Board of Supervisors has taken notice and is exploring opening

up the region to large hemp grows.

But to what end? The only controlled study that has proven CBD’s therapeutic effectiveness comes from the UK company GW Pharmaceuticals, which has developed a prescription CBD tincture called Epidiolex, recently approved for use in the US by the FDA. But that study was tightly focused only on the treatment of two rare but severe forms of epilepsy, and makes no claims on the treatment of anxiety, depression, chronic pain or any other ailments.

Josh Wurzer is a chemist and a pioneer in the field of CBD research.

In 2008, he was the director of the first quality control lab measuring medical marijuana, Oakland’s Steep Hill. Shortly thereafter, he and a few partners started SC (Science of Cannabis) Labs. His lab measures strains of commercially grown cannabis for a variety of organic compounds, including CBD, as well as for pathogens such as E. coli, pesticides and heavy metals.

Wurzer says the ambiguous legal status of cannabis is hampering efforts to give it the proper study that might validate the health claims behind it.

“If I’m a cannabis researcher,” he says, “and I want to do any kind of research in an organization that gets federal funding, I’m very limited to the cannabinoids I have access to.”

The feds maintain a farm to grow cannabis for study at, of all places, the University of Mississippi. “But the diversity of that plant material is very limited,” says Wurzer.

Even if there were studies confirming CBD’s potential healing properties, that doesn’t mean the bag of CBD gummies you buy on Amazon is going to do anything for you. California law requires mandatory testing on all cannabis products, but that only applies to products sold in licensed dispensaries, which use companies such as SC Labs to give consumers precise chemical profiles of nearly everything they sell. Products sold at grocery stores, health food stores or on line do not necessarily use such testing, and this lack of regulatory structure has created a kind of anything-goes environment on the commercial market.

What’s more, there is evidence to suggest that ingestion of CBD through the digestive system is inefficient, if not useless. “CBD has almost no oral bioavailability,” is the way Wurzer puts it. He says that the most efficient ways to get CBD into the bloodstream are to inhale it, dissolve it in your mouth or administer it as a suppository.

CBD research is a rapidly evolving field and the range of possibilities for CBD’s effectiveness is still wide. Wurzer has faith in the promise of CBD’s potential to help with any number of medical issues. At least, he says, taking CBD is not going to hurt you. “The upside is the super-low toxicity. We have still yet to have a documented case of THC or CBD overdose leading to any kind of death. You can’t say that about aspirin or ibuprofen.”

Back at the MeloMelo kava bar, my bartender tells me that my 12-oz. beverage has 25 milligrams of CBD in it, which means nothing to me.

When I finish my non-intoxicating drink, she lays a much more meaningful number on me. The final tab? $7 (with a tip, $8).

I left the place, as promised, with a lighter spirit, though it could have just been the effects of a lighter wallet.

MAKING BANK California’s weighing legislation that would create cannabis-friendly banks and credit unions and allow pot businesses to pay taxes and fees in cryptocurrency.

CRYPTO CHRON

BY JULIA BAUM

I

T’S BEEN A rollercoaster ride for California dispensaries as they’ve navigated numerous changes since legalization went into effect. But one thing that hasn’t changed is the cashonly status of most weed shops that can’t accept electronic card payments because banks still refuse to do business with them.

State lawmakers are not giving up on the issue. SB 930 died in the Assembly Appropriations Committee last year but state Sen. Bob Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys) recently revived it as SB 51, which would basically the same as proposed before and create a framework so private banks or credit unions could issue checks to dispensaries for paying taxes, rent and other business expenses. Dispensaries could also buy state and local bonds to help earn interest on their deposits.

Running a cash-only business can be a pain in the ass and even the state seems to agree. Last year former state Treasurer John Chiang said the statute “stalemate” has made cannabis businesses “targets for violent crimes and putting the general public in danger” by forcing them to handle large quantities of cash, and “also created a nightmare for state and local government revenue-collecting agencies.” The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration does not accept cash payment unless an exemption is requested. One concentrates manufacturer told Pot Shots that he must schedule an in-person appointment to pay Uncle Sam. The federal ganja ban has made most banks reject dispensaries as customers but the Blue Wave on Capitol Hill is working to make Congress 420-friendly. Change at the federal level is crucial to enact any meaningful reform since the Treasurer’s Office estimated that a state-backed cannabis bank would cost around $35 million to start and it’s unlikely that it would

Some California dispensaries are already using cryptocurrencies like Litecoin and PotCoin—a newly introduced bill would allow them to pay taxes this way.

California dispensaries and other marijuana businesses are already on board and using cryptocurrencies like Litecoin, Paragon, PotCoin, CannaCoin and PayQwick, so the practice isn’t unheard of, even though it’s not common yet.

Silicon Valley dispensaries haven’t kept pace with these developments, ironically, but that’s not to say some haven’t tried. Several years ago, Harborside on North 10th Street reportedly dabbled (or at least considered) in using the CanPay app, which uses a closedloop system of banks already doing business with the weed world. Now, however, all San Jose dispensaries only take hard cash or charge merchant fees that are higher than their customers.

be approved by the feds. Luckily, Congress introduced H.R. 1595 last month, which aims to create protections for banks working with legit marijuana businesses.

But whether the Democrats’ bill makes it through the GOPcontrolled Senate is another story, so the Golden State continues to pursue other solutions. In a move befitting tech-saturated San Francisco, Assemblyman Phil Ting introduced a bill last month that would let pot shops at least pay their city and county taxes in cryptocurrency. Some

POT GOES PROFESSIONAL Joe Montana invests in San Jose dispensary BY JULIA BAUM

E

ARLIER THIS YEAR, former 49ers quarterback and NFL legend Joe Montana put up some serious green. The great No. 16 was part of a larger investment group, which also includes former Yahoo! CEO Carol Bartz, that infused the locally owned Caliva dispensary with $75 million.

It certainly looks to be a solid investment. Caliva, which employs 440 workers and sells its own line of flowers and cannabis oil, is one of San Jose’s pot powerhouses. The deal also underscores the growing mainstream appeal of the cannabis industry, and points toward Silicon Valley’s eagerness to get in on the action.

Caliva has lofty goals. According to Bartz, who was also tapped to sit on Caliva’s board of directors, Caliva aims to take over the Golden State’s weed market, which represents more than a third of the national cannabis

economy, and become the “first true large-scale consumer product company in the U.S. cannabis industry.”

Montana’s statement following the announcement of his investment highlights his personal concern to help athletes find alternative treatments for chronic pain—ones that hopefully don’t lead to physical dependence.

In his statement, Montana said he hopes Caliva will work to develop “quality health and wellness products that can provide relief to many people and can make a serious impact on opioid use or addiction.”

Montana and Bartz—in their 60s and 70s, respectively—are among a growing demographic of Baby Boomers turning to ganja to treat chronic pain or other illnesses or conditions. They’re also not entirely new to the world of cannabis.

Two years ago, Montana was part of a $4.1 million investment in Herb, a company that produces and distributes weed-centric news and entertainment.

For her part, Bartz recently admitted to using marijuana medicinally—for knee pain.

14 BUNK Many vape pens and their accessories are designed to be tossed after use.

E-WASTED

Electronic vape pens and accessories pose a growing pollution problem for cannabis industry

BY JULIA BAUM

G

OING GREEN FOR the good of the planet seems like a given in the ganja industry, which historically has touted itself as an advocate of overall health and wellness.

But new regulations that rode in last year on the back of legalization are now actually hindering their efforts to do good by Mother Earth.

One of the most problematic emerging issues is what to do about properly disposing or recycling common vape pen batteries and cannabis oil cartridges. The popularity of vaping has increased over the past several years for a number of reasons; for one, the nearly nonexistent odor smells very little like regular pot smoke, making pens a favored choice for discretely puffing in public. They also contain high levels of THC—some well over

90 percent—which makes them a favored choice for those looking for a one-hitter-quitter. Other advantages cited less frequently include not dealing with lighters or matches (which makes it easy to get a good hit at a windy place like the beach).

Some national surveys report that between 9.9 to 39 percent of adults have used cannabis vape pens, and BDS Analytics, which specializes in cannabis industry data, found that concentrates make up 71 percent

of the market’s overall sales in California. However, the growing use of vape pens has also created piles of pens and cartridges in landfills, where the offending items usually end up because their various parts, even those made from recycled materials, aren’t eligible for regular curbside waste collection.

Vape pens and cartridges fall under an unusual category of recycling materials—like light bulbs—which must be disposed of at a hazardous waste facility. The only problem is that the state Bureau of Cannabis Control doesn’t allow them to be disposed of at just any old facility.

Even though empty cartridges always have a negligible bit of oil that can’t be used, the state still counts that as marijuana waste and dictates that a company specializing in marijuana waste management must handle it, such as “a regular organic waste collection route used by the local agency, a waste hauler franchised or contracted by the local agency, or a private waste hauler permitted by the local agency.”

One of the most prolific producers of cartridges in the state, Bloom Farms, which stocks its merchandise at San Jose dispensaries Lux and Natural Herbal Pain Relief, used to collect discarded cartridges in drop-off boxes at some dispensaries but no longer does since the state clamped down last year. Other California product manufacturers like OMG Farms had also developed their own recycling program prior to January 2018, and would even refurbish old pens. The program included incentives like giving dispensaries discounts on their next order based on how many devices were previously collected, OMG Farms brand or otherwise.

But the toughest challenge might be what to do about electronic waste from the lithium-ion batteries that are used and, ultimately, unrecyclable.

OMG Farms hasn’t been able to recycle their products in more than a year and still sells disposable vape pens that also wind up in the garbage, but the company also continues lobbying regulators to re-legalize their recycling program for the benefit of customers, dispensaries and, most importantly, the environment.

Mobile apps connect cannabis consumers with retailers BY JULIA BAUM

I

N THE WAKE of legalization, mobile platforms for pot lovers continue cropping up. Here are just a few of the startups that seek to stake their claim in the growing cannabis industry by connecting users with businesses and each other.

Founded in San Francisco, Eaze leads the pack of pot delivery apps and has been dubbed the “Uber of Weed.”

Weedmaps has been around longer and works differently. While it can connect users with delivery services, it also boasts a substantial global index of other cannabis businesses— including doctors and dispensaries.

Leafly offers similar features, plus user reviews of pot strains.

Even newer apps seek to incorporate lifestyle trends into their platforms.

Tökr aims to help users figure

out the best strain and method of consumption for their unique needs.

Whether an individual is training for a marathon, seeking pain relief, or looking for a better night’s sleep, Töker has a product to recommend.

Releaf tracks a user’s buzz in real time and includes a profile page where they can keep tabs on their favorite buds.

Massroots wants to be the Instagram of weed. It’s community of users share images of nugs, glassware and plants.

SimLeaf gives users a platform to test out theoretical grows before sowing any seeds.

Then there are the Marijuana matchmaking services, such as 420 Singles, Joint Lovers, BlazeMeet and 420 Friends.

Of course, many of these apps also have business-oriented services and collect data so they can provide cannabis sellers with the 411 on their customers’ 420 habits.

DELIVERANCE State law opens up California to pot delivery services

BY JULIA BAUM

C

ANNABIS DELIVERY services could be blooming soon in Silicon Valley now that state officials lifted restrictions early this year. Now all persons 21 and over can have marijuana delivered right to their doorstep anywhere in California.

Before the announcement, delivery services had been a patchwork network restricted to operating within certain jurisdictions.

Now people in the South Bay’s

prohibitionist cities—like Milpitas, which banned pot clubs and personal outdoor growing last year—can order weed from home. “This means if a city has current ban, deliveries may legally take place,” wrote Sean Kali-Rai, CEO of the Silicon Valley Cannabis Alliance. “However, banned cities will not receive tax revenue.”

Whether Milpitas council members will revisit the issue at a later date is unknown, but they should consider it, given how San Jose racked up $10.5 million in 2017 and another $13 million in tax revenue last year, and expects higher numbers still in 2019.

The dirty downtown has lost its long-serving punk rock ambassador, 34-year-old Robbie James “Pickles” Matthews. Robbie welcomed everyone he met with fire and grace. How many of us wandered in lost and found our beating heart in his simple hello? How many of us know each other because of Robbie? His magic was pure… proper. It was the simplest of spells—rooted in family, friendship, togetherness, community, mutuality, fun—LOVE. Forget what you know about these words. They are not nouns. They are verbs… like life. Our value is not in our words, it lives in our actions. Derp-a-Dur-Ba-der.

Robbie appreciated the finer things in life. He found good friends in bad places, thoughtful conversations in stray cats, melodies in bargain bin boxes and through walls of smoke in the dead of night following nothing but the rhythm. He tasted fine foods in the experimental flavors of a bag of chips and savored the last Lifesaver gummie as if it could be his last. Quality drinks lived on every shelf and the sweetest fruits were those cultivated by his own two hands. The most exciting road was wandered by moped and led home from nowhere. Robbie knew that the best things in life are not things at all but experiences. He did not squander his magic on the daily hassle of decorum or the ritual of daily death that puts a short handle on our long souls. No time for 9 to 5. It was never an option. Robbie embodied the free spirit of the downtown San Jose family to which he belonged, and the SxJxDx will feel his loss immensely because not only have we lost Robbie but also all those he would have welcomed into us with open arms.

Now we must learn how to do the hugging. While many of us strive for freedom yet struggle to dream, preach open mindedness from atop a throne, talk about art but never hear it, Robbie kept us honest… proper. Authenticity is not a reaction against imitation but an invitation to manifest.

Robbie was master of the invitation, our punk ambassador.

“Written by Thanayi Jackson” Robbie is survived by his mother, Laurie E. Matthews, Uncle Donald J. Matthews and wife Victoria, his Aunt Lisa A. Arges and husband Stan, Great Aunt Alice and Great Uncle Rex L. Sommerville, cousins Debra and Eden Matthews and grandparents Martha and Frank Battaglia. His extended family includes his Uncle Vince Battaglia, Uncle Jeff Battaglia, Aunt Janis Battaglia Roe and Aunt Jessica Battaglia and cousins Brian, Breanna, Connor and Brady Battaglia, and a kindred of us to whom he was the first to approach, say hi, and make us feel like we belonged. On January 30, 2019, punk died with his boots on.

Thank You to everyone who traveled near & far to attend the Pickles Fest Benefit we held at Caravan and his Memorial at Kelley Park... to all who donated to his GoFundMe, etc.

REVIEW

HISTORY LESSON Mike Leigh’s ‘Peterloo’ revistits a 1819 massacre of working class protesters in England.

Liberty or Depth IT’S CLEAR THAT Mike Leigh intended Peterloo, the story of an 1819 massacre of unarmed working people, as his magnum opus. In High Hopes, Naked and Vera Drake, among many others, Leigh has made unparalleled studies of the British class war through deep focus on the combatants, creating characters through improvisation and intensive rehearsal. He is a treasure, and has no parallel in America.

In Peterloo, a historical drama of some 20 or more characters, Leigh tries for a working class epic. But it’s a tough business trying to match the intensity of, say, the Corpus Christi scenes in Roma or that landmark for staging political violence on screen, the Odessa Steps sequence in Potemkin (1926).

The film begins and ends with a family gathering: Young Joseph (David Moorst) returns to the England he fought for. Still wearing the crimson Army tunic he wore at Waterloo, he’s PTSD-stricken and barely able to communicate. Times are hard; the mill owners in Manchester are keeping the workers wages low, and the price of food has skyrocketed because of tariffs keeping foreign grain out of England. And the entire industrial city of Manchester has no representation in parliament.

The workers are organizing a peaceful rally for Peterloo voting rights under the leadership of a renowned orator Henry Hunt (played with maximum 154 Mins. superciliousness by Rory Kinnear). This landed liberal The Aquarius and would-be champion of the people insists that no Theater, Palo Alto one bring any weapons, leaving them unarmed when the cossacks are sicced on them.

Not being a liberal like Hunt, Leigh felt no need to seriously examine the anxieties of the upper class. They’re portrayed as swine and buffoons, from the magistrates who hang petty thieves for stealing a coat all the way up to the painted Prince Regent (Tim McInnerny), cooed over by his simian mistress in his Brighton palace. (She’s Marion Bailey, unrecognizable from Leigh’s Mr. Turner). Leigh strains a bit to get women into the story and sometimes succeeds: He has a good Brechtian idea of posing a street singer (Dorothy Atkinson) to perform ballads of the hard times, as well as an unusually fervent gathering of women’s reformers, the film’s highlight.

The epic is kept at a distance throughout, from the continual stand-anddeliver speechifying to the oddly unfeeling way the reporter confers over the shambles. One character refers to the building crisis as “a powder keg” but we can never quite hear it sizzle. As per Queen Victoria’s quote about Prime Minister Gladstone, Peterloo addresses us as if we were a public meeting. —Richard von Busack

LIGHTS UP!

Thu, 8pm, $7-$40 City Lights Theater, San Jose It could be argued that actor and City Lights regular Max Tachis has gotten a leg up on his playwriting skills by appearing at this festival in staged readings of scripts by Jeffrey Lo. The actor and playwright team up again for the festival opener, Lo’s Zac and Siah or, Jesus in a Body Bag, and Tachis’ Tournament de Champions closes out “Three Days of New Plays” on Saturday. In between is a shorts program around the theme of power and Pat Pfeiffer’s drama fish, about Vietnamese refugees who get a less than warm Texas welcome. The festival also features a lineup of food trucks and visual artists, as well as some adoptable dogs. (AG)

SANTOS GUZMAN & FELA KUTCHII Thu, 9pm, Free The Continental, San Jose This week’s installment of The Changing Same features a DJ sets from Santos Guzman and Fela Kutchii. Guzman has made a name for himself by blending textures from his native Mexico with hip-hop, electronic and indie rock sensibilities that are distinctly American. Oakland selector Kutchii prides herself on keeping things both inclusive and decidedly weird on the dancefloor. Her 2017 Boiler Room set opens by weaving together hits from the Yay Area and Dirty South before descending into deeper spaces—splicing in IDM moodiness and rapid-fire jungle beats. (NV)

SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

Preacher Lawson is not at a loss for material. His family had already moved 20 times before he turned 10. He eventually landed in Orlando, where he channeled his active sense of humor and infectious energy into standup comedy. Lawson caught a big break on the 12th season of America’s Got Talent. Since then, he’s had no trouble with selling out—literally and figuratively.

The show has given him a national following, which he has used to pay his mother back for the car he crashed and bring his two brothers out to L.A. to enjoy the good life. (ER)

Pop music has changed a lot in the last 60 years, but there’s still something to be said for that little thing called melody. With an ear for classic pop, South Bay power pop group David Brookings and the Average Lookings have a knack for matching soaring melodies to jangly AM chord progressions. Hefty doses of sunshine and surf spray waft off Scorpio Monologue, their second album, which comes out the same day as their release show at Art Boutiki. A little bit Beatles, and a little bit Big Star, Scorpio Monologue is all about the enduring power of a great melody. (MH)

Thirty years in a shoebox. After spending more than a quartercentury in solitary confinement, Jack L. Morris has a lot to say.

This play animates Morris’ friendship with Sheila Pinkel, an artist troubled by the rise of incarceration in the United States.

Jack’s letters to Sheila come to life in a dynamic show of monologue, movement and song, which all work together to paint a portrait of a man determined to be positive through decades of isolation and violence. This production reevaluates concepts of crime and punishment. (ER)

ON THE ROAD Kero Kero Bonito merge sounds from around the globe.

Acting Out Channeling J-pop, grime, rock, Kero Kero Bonito bring international sound to SJ

BY MIKE HUGUENOR

A

BOUT THREE MINUTES into “Only Acting,” the lead single from Kero Kero Bonito’s 2018 album Time ‘n’ Place, the whole thing falls apart. Like a CD player trying to read a scratched disc, the track skips on a fragment. A moment later it shuts down, pulling everything into silence. Then comes the noise.

Up to that point, “Only Acting” is one of the British indie rock band’s strongest songs to date, a near-perfect example of their unique blending of

J-pop, chiptune and good old fashioned rock & roll. Opening with a shuffling drum machine beat and singer Sarah Midori Perry’s carefree singsong, “Only Acting” tells the story of an actress learning that sometimes acting is truthful, and that the truth is acting.

“I thought I was only acting, but I felt exactly like it was all for real,” she sings on the big Weezer-style chorus.

“I sure didn't know it hurt so bad, that no rehearsal could show you how to feel inside.”

It’s a little like a life-affirming version of arthouse anime film Perfect Blue, or a modern Through the Looking Glass story. Whatever it is, it arrives replete with video game-inspired

keyboards and Casio drum presets.

And though there’s still plenty to come in the surprisingly dense song (guitar solo, key change) before it all goes completely haywire, there’s already bits of weirdness that show up after the first chorus. Radio static, sub-audible acting instructions, a few freaky screams. You know, normal stuff for a lead single.

That “Only Acting” falls apart toward the end is more of a testament to the band’s playfulness than it is an act of alienating high art.

For Kero Kero Bonito, art is play, and a playful mixture is the height of art.

Mixture, quite literally, is in the band’s blood. Born to a Japanese mother and British father, Perry spent her childhood in Hokkaido before moving to London. Suddenly in a very different country, Perry spent much of her teenage years on an internet forum for Japanese expats in England. It was there that she saw a post by two London musicians looking for a singer—two London musicians she now calls bandmates.

Released by Polyvinyl last October,

Time ‘n’ Place is easily Kero Kero Bonito’s strongest release so far. For many San Joseans, the album will tick a lot of boxes. Transnational by design, bits of Britpop and grime creep in around the edges of the bright J-pop melodies, shimmering synths, and 8-bit skylines. The intro to single “Time Today” (one of their best) even makes use of the percolating alien cave sound-effect from the Earthbound soundtrack.

While they’re definitely the smaller of the two J-pop bands playing the city this week (the other being international phenoms Perfume), Kero Kero Bonito’s arrival in the city is a welcome sign that San Jose is becoming relevant for up-and-coming international touring acts. For this place, it’s about time.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): French writer Simone

de Beauvoir sent a letter to her lover, Aries author Nelson Algren. She wrote, "I like so much the way you are so greedy about life and yet so quiet, your eager greediness and your patience, and your way of not asking much of life and yet taking much because you are so human and alive that you find much in everything." I'd love to see you embody that state in the coming weeks, Aries. In my astrological opinion, you have a mandate to be both utterly relaxed and totally thrilled; both satisfied with what life brings you and skillfully avid to extract the most out of it; both at peace with what you already have and primed to grab for much more.

By ROB BREZSNY week of April 17

What would be the metaphorical equivalent to curcumin in your life? An influence that could be good for you, but that would be even better if you synergized it with a certain additional influence?

And what would be the metaphorical equivalent of that additional influence? Now is a good time to investigate these questions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "I have the usual

capacity for wanting what may not even exist," wrote poet Galway Kinnell. How about you, Scorpio?

Do you, too, have an uncanny ability to long for hypothetical, invisible, mythical and illusory things?

If so, I will ask you to downplay that amazing power of yours for a while. It's crucial for your future development that you focus on yearning for actual experiences, real people and substantive possibilities. Please understand: I'm not suggesting you're bad or wrong for having those seemingly impossible desires. I'm simply saying that for now you will thrive on being attracted to things that are genuinely available.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Beat Generation of American poets arose in the late 1940s as a rebellion against materialistic mainstream culture and academic poetry. It embraced sexual liberation, Eastern spirituality, ecological awareness, political activism, and psychedelic drugs. One of its members, Jack Kerouac, tweaked and ennobled the word "beat" to serve as the code name for their movement. In its old colloquial usage, "beat" meant tired or exhausted.

But Kerouac re-consecrated it to mean "upbeat" and "beatific," borrowing from the Italian word beato. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because you're on the verge of a similar transition from the old meaning of "beat" to the new.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "Sometimes I have

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "Scattered through the ordinary world, there are books and artifacts and perhaps people who are like doorways into impossible realms, of impossible and contradictory truth."

Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges said that, and now I'm passing it on to youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just in time for your entrance into a phase when such doorways will be far more available than usual. I hope you will use Borges' counsel as a reminder to be alert for everyday situations and normal people that could lead you to intriguing experiences and extraordinary revelations and life-changing blessings.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): All over the world,

kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in," wrote Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. I'm guessing you've had that experience, maybe more than usual of late. But I suspect you'll soon be finding ways to express those embryonic feelings. Congrats in advance! You'll discover secrets you've been concealing from yourself.

You'll receive missing information whose absence has made it hard to understand the whole story. Your unconscious mind will reveal the rest of what it has thus far merely been hinting at.

Astro

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Free Will Astrology

Committee to Boldly Promote Cancerian's Success is glad to see that you're not politely waiting for opportunities to come to you. Rather, you're tracking them down and proactively wrangling them into a form that's workable for your needs. You seem to have realized that what you had assumed was your fair share isn't actually fair; that you want and deserve more. Although you're not being mean and manipulative, neither are you being overly nice and amenable; you're pushing harder to do things your way. I approve! And I endorse your efforts to take it even further.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Many experts who have

studied the art and science of running fast believe that it's best if a runner's legs are symmetrical and identical in their mechanics. But that theory is not supported by the success of champion sprinter Usain Bolt. Because he has suffered from scoliosis, his left leg is a half-inch longer than his right. With each stride, his left leg stays on the track longer than his right, and his right hits the track with more force.

Some scientists speculate that this unevenness not only doesn't slow him down, but may in fact enhance his speed. In accordance with current astrological variables, I suspect you will be able to thrive on your asymmetry in the coming weeks, just as your fellow Leo Usain Bolt does.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo adventurer Jason

Lewis traveled around the world using transportation powered solely by his own body. He walked, bicycled, skated, rowed, pedaled, and swam more than 46,000 miles. I propose that we make him your role model for the next four weeks. You're primed to accomplish gradual breakthroughs through the use of simple, persistent, incremental actions. Harnessing the power of your physical vitality will be an important factor in your success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Curcumin is a chemical

found in the plant turmeric. When ingested by humans, it may diminish inflammation, lower the risk of diabetes, support cardiovascular health and treat digestive disorders. But there's a problem: The body is inefficient in absorbing and using curcumin unless it's ingested along with piperine, a chemical in black pepper. Then it's far more available.

rivers and lakes are drying up. Sources of water are shrinking. Droughts are becoming more common and prolonged. Why? Mostly because of climate change.

The good news is that lots of people are responding to the crisis with alacrity. Among them is an engineer in India named Ramveer Tanwar. Since 2014, he has organized efforts leading to the rejuvenation of 12 dead lakes and ponds. I propose we make him your role model for the coming weeks. I hope he will inspire you to engage in idealistic pursuits that benefit other people. And I hope you'll be motivated to foster fluidity and flow and wetness everywhere you go. The astrological time is ripe for such activities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A blogger named

Caramelizee offered her definition of elegance: "being proud of both your feminine and masculine qualities; seeing life as a non-ending university and learning everything you can; caring for yourself with tender precision; respecting and taking advantage of silences; tuning in to your emotions without being oversensitive, owning your personal space and being generous enough to allow other people to own their personal space." This definition of elegance will be especially apropos and useful for you Aquarians in the coming weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You Pisceans have been

summoning heroic levels of creative intensity. You've been working extra hard and extra smart. But it seems that you haven't been fully recognized or appreciated for your efforts. I'm sorry about that. Please don't let it discourage you from continuing to express great integrity and authenticity. Keep pushing for your noble cause and offering your best gifts. I'm proud of you! And although you may not yet have reaped all the benefits you will ultimately sow, three months from now I bet you'll be pleased you pushed so hard to be such a righteous servant of the greater good.
