Crawl Space Don't be a pretentious, bourgeois person about it— don't crawl up my a** on the bicycle trail! Of course I raised hell with you! Remember that song by The Police? “Don't crawl up my a** on the bicycle trail!” I'm here to exercise, too. Can you please slow down and pay the person in front of you some respect? If you are in a car what happens if you follow too closely? If I had slammed on my brakes we would have had a three-way collision. Catch your breath and stop messing with people. Keep two bicycle-lengths in front of you; two bicyclelengths behind you. Maybe my advice will save your life someday, but how would you know if you never crawled up anyone else's a** on a bicycle? That's my point exactly.

ONE OF YOUR MENU ITEMS IS CALLED “RISTRETTO.” WHAT’S THAT? The ristretto is a concentrated espresso shot. It’s pretty strong, but luckily because it’s a good coffee, you’re not grimacing. You just need to love your coffee, but again, it’s a smooth coffee. Espresso actually has less caffeine than your drip coffee at home. I guess the reason for that is, the caffeine is derived from how long it sits in the water. And so when you’re doing an espresso, it goes through your machine within maybe 10 to 20 seconds. Whereas your drip coffee, the water is dripping through the beans for so long it’s deriving more of the caffeine. I try and educate people on that because they think the espressos are stronger and they’re afraid to get that second shot.—Aaron Carnes BEL BACIO CAFE 350 W. Julian Street #4, San Jose. 408.645.7776

Panoramic View “Don’t Stop Believin’” is more a staple of the karaoke bar than the concert hall—and it’s rarely played on a harp. But such a performance is partly the point of the Silicon Valley Arts Coalition’s 10th annual Arts Panorama, which showcases the unique offerings of small local arts groups. The American Harp Society, Silicon Valley chapter, will play the Journey favorite at the Arts PanSVAC Arts Panorama orama, which is also a fundraiser for the 18 groups that are members of SVAC. Jan 24, 6:30pm, $25 The coalition formed in 2001 with the aim of increasing visibility and building audiences for its Le Petit Trianon member organizations, and promoting arts eduTheatre, San Jose cation. “This is not only our only fundraiser of the year, it’s our way of showing our member organizations’ talent,” says Susan Zerweck, chair of the event. This evening of art, music and wine, plus a silent auction takes place at the Le Petit Trianon Theatre Jan. 24 for $25 a ticket. “We figure the more you save on tickets, the more you can spend in the silent auction,” Zerweck jokes. The bidding for the silent auction will be conducted throughout the evening and winners will be announced at the end of the night. The top item up for auction is a four-pack of Disneyland parkhopper passes. Also on the block is the chance to conduct the Mission Chamber Orchestra (a coalition member) along with event tickets, handmade art and even services such as a car tune-up at Walt’s Automotive. Vivace Youth Chorus, directed by Peggy Spool, opens the evening, and the Harp Society will follow with “Don’t Stop Believin’” accompanied by vocalist Evelyn Rumsby. Closing out the night will be the performances by the South Bay Guitar Society and Lyric Theatre, presenting selections from its upcoming production of The Mikado. Other performers will include Palo Alto Philharmonic Duo, Nova Vista Symphony Ensemble, South Bay Philharmonic performing an original composition from the National Association of Composers (NACUSA), Mission Chamber Orchestra Ensemble, Sweet Adelines Quartet and San Jose Wind Quintet. —Rachel Schemel

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Actor Casey Affleck appreciates the nurturing power of his loved ones. “My family would be supportive,” he says, “if I said I wanted to be a Martian, wear only banana skins, make love to ashtrays, and eat tree bark.” I’d like to see you cultivate allies like that in the coming months, Aries. Even if you have never had them before, there’s a good chance they will be available. For best results, tinker with your understanding of who your family might be. Redefine what “community” means to you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Author John Koenig
says we often regard emotions as positive or negative. Feeling respect is good, for example, while being wracked with jealousy is bad. But he favors a different standard for evaluating emotions: how intense they are. At one end of the spectrum, everything feels blank and blah, even the big things. “At the other end is wonder,” he says, “in which everything feels alive, even the little things.” Your right and proper goal right now, Taurus, is to strive for the latter kind: full-on intensity and maximum vitality. Luckily, the universe will be conspiring to help you achieve that goal.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): At her blog other-wordly. tumblr.com, Yee-Lum Mak defines the Swedish word resfeber this way: “the restless race of the traveler’s heart before the journey begins, when anxiety and anticipation are tangled together.” You might be experiencing resfeber right now, Gemini. Even if you’re not about to depart on a literal trip, I’m guessing you will soon start wandering out on a quest or adventure that will bring your heart and mind closer together. Paradoxically, your explorations will teach you a lot about being better grounded. Bon voyage! CANCER (June 21-July 22): How does a monarch

butterfly escape its chrysalis when it has finished gestating? Through tiny holes in the skin of the chrysalis, it takes big gulps of air and sends them directly into its digestive system, which expands forcefully. Voila! Its body gets so big it breaks free. When a chick is ready to emerge from inside its egg, it has to work harder than the butterfly. With its beak, it must peck thousands of times at the shell, stopping to rest along the way because the process is so demanding. According to my analysis, Cancerian, you’re nearing the final stage before your metaphorical emergence from gestation. Are you more like the butterfly or chick?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I’m not sure where to go from here. I need help.” I encourage you to say those words out loud, Leo. Even if you’re not sure you believe they’re true, act as if they are. Why? Because I think it would be healthy for you to express uncertainty and ask for assistance. It would relieve you of the oppressive pressure to be a masterful problem-solver. It could free you from the unrealistic notion that you’ve got to figure everything out by yourself. And this would bring you, as if by magic, interesting offers and inquiries. In other words, if you confess your neediness, you will attract help. Some of it will be useless, but most of it will be useful.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dogs have a superb sense of smell, much better than we humans. But ours isn’t bad. We can detect certain odors that have been diluted to one part in five billion. For example, if you were standing next to two Olympic-sized swimming pools, and only one contained a few drops of the chemical ethyl mercaptan, you would know which one it was. I’m now calling on you to exercise that level of sensitivity, Virgo. There’s a situation in the early stages of unfolding that would ultimately emanate a big stink if you allowed it to keep developing. There is a second unripe situation, on the other hand, that would eventually yield fragrant blooms. I advise you to either quash or escape from the first, even as you cultivate and treasure the second. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Whatever adventures may flow your way in the coming weeks, Libra, I hope you will appreciate them for what they are: unruly but basically benevolent; disruptive in ways that catalyze welcome transformations; a bit more exciting than you might like, but ultimately pretty fun. Can you thrive on the paradoxes? Can you delight in the unpredictability? I think so. When you look back at these plot twists two months from now, I bet you’ll see them as entertaining storylines that enhance the

myth of your hero’s journey. You’ll understand them as tricky gifts that have taught you valuable secrets about your soul’s code.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Manufacturing a jelly
bean is not a quick, slam-bam process. It’s a fivestep procedure that takes a week. Each seemingly uncomplicated piece of candy has to be built up layer by layer, with every layer needing time to fully mature. I’m wondering if maybe there’s a metaphorically similar kind of work ahead for you, Scorpio. May I speculate? You will have to take your time, proceed carefully, and maintain a close attention to detail as you prepare a simple pleasure.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I understand the
appeal of the f-word. It’s guttural and expulsive. It’s a perverse form of celebration that frees speakers from their inhibitions. But I’m here today to announce that its rebel cachet and vulgar power are extinct. It has decayed into a barren cliche. Its official deathfrom-oversaturation occurred with the release of the mainstream Hollywood blockbuster The Wolf of Wall Street. Actors in the film spat out the rhymes-withcluck word more than 500 times. I hereby nominate you Sagittarians to begin the quest for new ways to invoke rebellious irreverence. What interesting mischief and naughty wordplay might you perpetrate to escape your inhibitions, break taboos that need to be broken, and call other people on their BS and hypocrisy?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) has had a major impact on the development of ideas in the Western world. We can reasonably divide the history of philosophy into two eras: pre-Kantian and post-Kantian. And yet for his whole life, which lasted 79 years, this big thinker never traveled more than ten miles away from Konigsberg, the city where he was born. He followed a precise and methodical routine, attending to his work with meticulous detail. According to my analysis, you Capricorns could have a similar experience in the coming weeks. By sticking close to the tried-and-true rhythms that keep you grounded and healthy, you can generate influential wonders. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Aquarian author
Georges Simenon (1903-1989) wrote more than 200 novels under his own name and 300 more under pseudonyms. On average, he finished a new book every 11 days. Half a billion copies of his books are in print. I’m sorry to report that I don’t think you will ever be as prolific in your own chosen field as he was in his. However, your productivity could soar to a hefty fraction of Simenon-like levels in 2014—if you’re willing to work your ass off. Your luxuriant fruitfulness won’t come as easily as his seemed to. But you should be overjoyed that you at least have the potential to be luxuriantly fruitful.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When I’m older and
wiser, maybe I’ll understand the meaning of my life. When I’m older and wiser, maybe I’ll gain some insight about why I’m so excited to be alive despite the fact that my destiny is so utterly mysterious. What about you, Pisces? What will be different for you when you’re older and wiser? Now is an excellent time to ponder this riddle. Why? Because it’s likely you will get a glimpse of the person you will have become when you are older and wiser—which will in turn intensify your motivation to become that person.
