Several listings in the March 18 “Best Of” issue were cut off or included incorrect information.

The correct address for Southern Kitchen, 3rd place winner for “Best Breakfast” of West Valley readers’ choice, is 27 E. Main St., Los Gatos.

Also, the category for “Best Thrift Shop” should have read “Best Vintage Clothing Shop.”

The Best Vintage Clothing Shop winners include: 1st, 23 Skidoo (342 E. Campbell Ave., Campbell); 2nd, Moon Zoom (1630 W. San Carlos St., San Jose); and 3rd, Black and Brown (850 The Alameda, San Jose). The Best Thrift Shop winners include: 1st, Crossroads Trading Company (1959 W. San Carlos St., San Jose; 1008 Blossom Hill Rd., San Jose); 2nd, Happy Dragon Thrift Shop (245 W. Main St., Los Gatos); and Goodwill (multiple locations). Metro regrets the errors.

one of his favorite stouts in old whiskey barrels.

Aged and Infused

A

FEW SUMMERS AGO, Hermitage Brewing Company’s head brewer Greg Filippi poured a batch of his flagship coffee-black stout into freshly dumped barrels of Kentucky bourbon. He then tucked the oaken vessels away in a cellar corner to let the osmosis transpire.

Vanilla-rich whiskey crept from the used wood casks into the malty dulcet of Hermitage’s signature 2-Tun Imperial Stout, putting a bold spin on one of the San Jose brewery’s perennial favorites.

“It has a very solid bourbon whiskey character to it,” says Filippi, who deemed the limited-release brew “fucking awesome” in his written notes after the first tapping. “It’s in the aroma, which completely floods the palate when you drink it. That chocolate lingers in the finish, dancing with the sweet bourbon in perfect form, the way only years together can produce.”

The batch of single bourbon barrel-aged 2-Tun will be available starting today after tappings at Hermitage in San Jose and Tied House in Mountain View. But with only 40 gallons made, this particular barrel-aged brew will see a very limited run.

“Two-Tun is a big strong malty high-alcohol beer that’s really just perfect for putting in a barrel and aging for a long time,” says Filippi, who suggests pairing it with a medium-rare porterhouse steak and a nice cigar.

The new chef at Tied House—David Porter, formerly of Marche in Palo Alto—will pair the special edition 2-Tun with a new entrée. The Poulet Bonne Femme: free-range chicken with pearl onions, house-smoked bacon, smashed potatoes and sauce veloute ($18.95).

“It’s one of several new menu items,” says Carolyn Hopkins-Vasquez, spokeswoman for Hermitage and Tied House. “He’s working to revamp our menu while keeping true to our laid back roots.”

She called the bourbon-aged 2-Tun “a truly rare, special beer,” and a fitting complement for the restaurant’s reinvented culinary offerings.

A growing number of beer makers are buying old barrels that held not just whiskey, but wine, brandy and rum. Residual vim and microflora change the character of a brew, imbuing porters and stouts with layers of flavor—overand undertones of tart, tannic, sweet, spiced, vanilla. Barrel aging can also soften a brew’s finish over time, which lends well to food pairings.

Filippi says he keeps a steady stock of barrel-aged brews, spacing out tappings to showcase each limited-run batch.—Jennifer Wadsworth TAPPING AT HERMITAGE, 4pm Wednesday (today), 1627 S. Seventh St., San Jose.

WRESTLEMANIA 31 ®

The Show of Shows, The Grandest Stage of Them All, The Showcase of the Immortals—WrestleMania 31 is here and it’s about to flip Silicon Valley on its head. More than 1 million people watched last year’s event on WWE Network and Pay-Per-View, and this year’s installment brings the baddest men and women on the planet to compete this Sunday, March 29, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

Roman Reigns will take on Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title, but that’s just the cherry on top of Sunday’s special event (see page 8 for more match info).

Here’s a guide to WrestleMania Week and everything to expect. ®

1 HULK HOGAN SLAMS ANDRE ™ THE GIANT

™

Hands down, WreslteMania 3 is the most memorable moment for superfans. Many doubted Hogan’s ability to take on Andre the Giant and keep his title, and Hulkamaniacs cringed when the reigning champion tried to body slam his 540-pound opponent only to have Andre crush him. Despite the setback, Hulk’s fans rallied, and their hero used the crowd’s intensity to finally body slam The

Giant, cementing his iconic status in WrestleMania.

2 BRET HART ™ ASSAULTS STONE COLD ™ STEVE AUSTIN Over the hill and on the verge of embarrassing himself, Bret "The Hitman" Hart took a chair to the injured knee of rising star Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13. He sadistically continued attacking Austin even after the ref declared him the winner.

For 36 years, Ric Flair was a permanent installment in wrestling culture, but his time on the top couldn’t last forever. The Nature Boy’s™ fall came at WrestleMania 24, when The Heartbreak Kid™, Shawn Michaels, dethroned the icon. The match was by no means a knockout, as the opponents went back and forth. Michaels had to deliver the Sweet Chin Music twice—saying, “I’m sorry, I love you” before the second one—to topple Flair. The 16-time World Heavyweight Champion took the loss in stride and retired with dignity.

No titles were exchanged, but The Rock only further cemented his status as one of the best ever.

HOW TO

Not everyone wakes up in the morning with a gold-medal sneer.

According to Roman Reigns™, one of the baddest superstars in the world, his fearsome, spine-tingling sneer was developed through hard work and determination cultivated over a lifetime. A former defensive lineman at Georgia Tech during his college days, Reigns says the gridiron and other sports upped his lip curl game.

“I can't say I’ve caught myself staring in the mirror doing that,” he says with a laugh. “I have to attribute it to all those sports, playing football, being very competitive.” So there you have it—dedicate your life to inspiring trepidation inside the lines and eventually it will translate to telegramming fear one cold stare at a time.

REIGN MAN Roman Reigns™ takes a moment before answering the question. It catches him off guard like a smack to the face, but he’s quick to recover. He was in Atlanta, Georgia, and a voice on the other end had the most important of messages.

Lesnar™. Matches at this level feature few, if any, weaknesses.

“I got the call that I was going to be having my little girl,” Reigns says.

“She is the most important thing in my life.”

Behind the muscles and the madness of the traveling show that is WWE®, Roman Reigns is first and foremost a family man.

“That’s the thing. If you don’t go on to the Internet and do your research, you may not know these things watching Monday Night Raw® or SmackDown®. I’m a real man. I don’t just—poof—appear on Monday. I have a whole life I have to go through to get to this point. The motivation I have, the things I’m fighting for, when people understand that they’re going to be like, ‘holy crap, he’s just like me.’”

Well, maybe not just like you. In order for Reigns to provide the life he wants for his family, he’ll need to step into the WrestleMania® ring this Sunday at Levi’s® Stadium and take the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title. The obstacle: He’ll have to use his unique blend of strength and athleticism to dethrone 286-pound block of destruction Brock

Brock Lesnar

“For me, it’s not about targeting his weaknesses— it’s knowing his strengths,” Reigns says.

“He’s like every other man in the world. He bleeds.

He’s human. He knows pain. It’s knowing where his strengths are and countering them.

“I want not only the intensity to be higher than any match we’ve ever seen, but I want people to get lost in that intensity. I want the world to know what I’m willing to do, to fight for the things that I need.

“When I beat Brock Lesnar in Levi’s® Stadium, I think the world is going to know who I am.”

Competition is a lifestyle more than an occupation, which is why the effort to be the best can sometimes leave the Bella Twins— who square off against the tagteam duo of Paige™ and AJ Lee™ in a WrestleMania® 31 Divas match—divided even when they’re conquering.

“I just feel like Brie is going to get back at me one day,” Nikki admits. For the time being, though, any sibling rivalry will need to be put on hold, especially if Nikki is going to achieve her personal ambitions.

Brie and Nikki Bella™, a.k.a. The Bella Twins™, won’t be by their Bay Area lonesome when they enter a raucous Levi’s Stadium® for WrestleMania® 31. In tow will be almost a few dozen of the Bella clan, which Nikki describes as a rowdy, fun-loving group with no shortage of swagger. Born and raised in San Diego, the Bella Twins also have connections to the Central Valley and Bakersfield, as well as family in San Jose and San Francisco. While the twins have never been camera shy, their turns on the hit reality show Total Divas® has been an adjustment for some of the family.

“As far as my family goes,” Nikki says, “they’re still getting used to it—especially my cousins.”

|

That drive to win doesn’t always translate well outside the ring. Whether it’s battling for sisterly supremacy with sibling Brie, or a battle of wits with boyfriend and 15-time WWE® champion John Cena™, Nikki just can’t back down sometimes. Case in point: not too long ago, during the filming of her hit reality show, Total Divas® on E!, Nikki doused her beau in a shower of suds just moments

“I was kicking his butt in that game,” Nikki says, “and when he came back I just couldn’t take it any more.”

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER

In 1995, Madusa shocked WCW audiences when she dumped her WWE Women’s Championship title in the garbage on live TV. Everyone remembers this, but the blond firecracker had humble beginnings in the Midwest and honed her skills in Japan before returning stateside.

After her successful stint overseas, she entered WCW as a member of Paul Heyman’s Dangerous Alliance and then made a name for herself in 1993, when she joined WWE as the face of the made-over Women’s Championship.

How do you synthesize Arnold’s life in less than 100 words?

The Austrian-born American is an actor, model, producer, director, activist, businessman, investor, writer, philanthropist, politician, and—most importantly—a former professional bodybuilder. The former California governor started weight training at 15 and won the Mr. Universe title by age 20, going on to win the Mr. Olympia contest seven times.

He has penned several books and articles about bodybuilding, but Hollywood is what Alundra rocketed the Blayze Terminator into the fourth dimension.

™

RIKISHI

™

The mammoth Samoan from San Francisco emerged from the Anoa’i wrestling family and made his debut in the early ’90s with his cousin.

The duo, known as the Headshrinkers, split up when Rikishi left WWE in 1997, but he returned two years later with a new name and look, as well as a love affair with eccentric hip-hop dance routines.

Above all else, he delighted fans with his signature move, the Stink Face, where he would sit on his defeated opponents’ faces.

He’s also well remembered for driving the car that hit “Stone Cold” Steve Austin at the 1999 Survivor Series. He later teamed up with Scotty 2 Hotty to win the 2004 WWE Tag Team Championship.

The toothless and tattooed Kiwis set the bar for weird in WWE. Before joining in 1988, Butch and Luke were known as The Sheepherders. Despite the softer name, the duo carved out a niche for themselves with their vicious tactics in Hawaii and Portland.

They entered WWE licking the faces of any fans who dared to get close and quickly made enemies with The Powers of Pain, The Bolsheviks, The Nasty Boys and The Natural Disasters. Their enduring popularity allowed them to appear on the TV show “Family Matters” in 1994, where they fought Urkel.

They never won the World Tag Team Championship, but Butch & Luke always won over fans’ hearts.

Despite what goes on in the ring—and sometimes outside of it—WWE has a bit of a soft side.

Throughout WrestleMania Week the biggest superstars and divas will visit places like the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, Ronald McDonald House, Heritage Home, private parties for Make-A-Wish, Be a Star, an event for the Special Olympics and more. ®

With the love of his family and WWE Superstars, as well as the tremendous care by Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, Connor battled cancer like a true warrior for as long as he could, and his charisma made him a local celebrity in Pittsburgh. Connor’s spirit inspired WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon and WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events & Creative, Paul “Triple H™” Levesque to launch “Connor’s Cure,” a fund dedicated to furthering Pediatric cancer research. Donations can be made

Steve Michalek said he and his family will be “forever grateful for the gift that WWE, its Superstars, Divas and executives gave to Connor.

“They made him smile and encouraged him to continue fighting. His visits backstage, and his time in the ring with Daniel Bryan, brought Connor true joy and undoubtedly extended his life, giving us more time with him. Now, with this award and Connor’s Cure, Connor’s legacy will live on.”

This and other charitable endeavors are more examples of how WWE’s superstars try to be champions for others in and out of the ring.

“It’s probably the greatest thing we do.” Bryan said.

WRESTLEMANIA 31

“Meeting Connor and being able to spend time with him was awesome and inspiring,” Daniel Bryan said.

“Every time I met him he had a smile on his face, this glow about him.”

MARCH 2015 |

Macho Man™ was one of the greatest performers in WWE® history, winning 20 championships during his 32-year career. WWE considers the raspy-voiced warrior to be one of the greatest champions of all time.

From his catchphrase “Ooooh Yeah!” to his rippling muscles and highflying acrobatics, Savage brought "a higher level of credibility to the title through his amazing in-ring performances.” His real-life wife, “Miss Elizabeth™” Hulette, managed his career, which was defined by his intensity and flamboyant garb in and outside the ring. Savage will receive the award posthumously.

"Connor Michalek had a profound impact on so many people,” said McMahon. "His spirit and love of life were so strong, you would have never known he was sick. I can think of no better way to honor Connor, than by recognizing him with our highest honor, the first fan to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, as a Warrior.”

JOHN CENA

™

The legacy of WWE® Hall of Famer Andre the Giant™ will loom large at WrestleMania® 31, as a legion of Superstars will enter Levi’s® Stadium with the goal of winning the 2nd Annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The prestigious over-thetop-rope Battle Royal—a tribute to the iconic “Eighth Wonder of the World,” who was also known as “The King of the Battle Royal”—premiered at last year’s WrestleMania 30. Superstars duked it out for the right to win a gigantic trophy created in Andre’s likeness. The wild brawl culminated when Cesaro™ unforgettably bodyslammed the 425-pound Big Show™ over the top and to the floor to become the inaugural victor.

METROSILICONVALLEY.COM

The first meeting between these two warriors took place in February at WWE Fastlane, where The Super Athlete, with the aid of Lana and a low blow, retained his U.S. Championship after John Cena passed out in the accolade. In the following weeks, Cena demanded a rematch against The Hero of the Russian Federation, only for Rusev to repeatedly deny him the opportunity to go one-on-one. Cena has had nothing short of a legendary 13-year career in WWE, not only becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion 15 times, but also winning the United States Championship, as well as several tag team championships, the Royal Rumble Match and the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Can Rusev defeat Cena once again? Will Cena give Rusev his first decisive loss in WWE? And what role might Lana play in this epic clash?

Bray Wyatt has been calling out Undertaker for weeks, promising that he will take The Deadman’s soul on The Grandest Stage of Them All. The New Face of Fear will get his wish, as The Phenom has accepted his challenge in what may be, perhaps, the most frightening showdown in WrestleMania® history. For the better part of a month, Wyatt had been broadcasting mystic missives, leaving the WWE® Universe to wonder to whom (or what) he was speaking. At WWE Fastlane®, Wyatt made his message a little clearer. Using Undertaker’s iconic imagery for his own twisted purposes, Wyatt had druids drag him to the ring in a casket, from which he emerged with a devilish smile to issue the challenge.

Claiming Undertaker had become mortal since his Streak came to an end at last year’s Show of Shows, Wyatt said he was no longer afraid of The Phenom, and that it was his mission to send The Deadman “home.”

Opening Reception: APE–POP The Alternative Press Expo (APE) returns to the South Bay for the first time in 15 years when the 2015 edition of the event opens its doors on October 3-4 in downtown San Jose. APE–POP is a series of Pop-Up shops, gallery events and happenings that kicks off with a showing of primarily San Jose based artists at Anno Domini during the South FIRST FRIDYS Art Walk on April 3rd. Participating artists include: Mark Badger (Doctor Strange, Excalibur), Crab Scrambly (Everything Can Be Beaten, Your Skeleton is Showing), John Hageman Jr (Woodland Welfare Manifesto), Donny Foley, Michael Foley, and Jef Bambas (Model: A) will be showcasing their artwork along with having books and prints of their work on hand to sign.

In the end we all return to the earth by Shannon Amidon.

Amidon delves further into encaustic painting, layering and collage, as she explores the process of healing; the persistent duality of life and death, and the mix of emotions elicited from experiencing the birth and death of loved ones in a brief span of time.

Jose Silicon Valley ponders the collision of dance and technology.

BALLET WASN’T SUPPOSED to become Amy Seiwert’s passion. When she was six, she planned to pursue gymnastics like her sister, so she had a real problem with her mom enrolling her in a dance class. Back then, the tomboy equated ballet with pink and tutus.

“I kind of went kicking and screaming,” she recalls by phone. “Then I took my first class and got to run around and jump. It wasn’t what I thought it was going to be, and I loved it. I was hooked immediately.”

Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley hopes Bodies of Technology, premiering March 27, will help audiences make a similar discovery. Far from another revival of a well-known classic, the program promises to be a creative collision—a “celebration of dance in the digital age,” according to José Manuel Farriño, Ballet SJSV’s artistic director.

Bodies of Technology Mar 27-29, $25-$110 California Theatre, San Jose balletsj.org

Bodies of Technology will feature two world premieres and a revival of Jessica Lang’s Eighty-One, presented by the company in 2013.

“This Might Be True,” Seiwert’s world premiere, will integrate a visual system orchestrated by software artist Frieder Weiss that will project changing visuals on her dancers. Using a computer, a camera, a projector and “a lot of VGA cables,” Weiss’ program responds to a dancer’s movements in real time.

Russian-born Zuri Zhukov is behind “User’s Manual,” Technology’s second world premiere. A dancer and choreographer who’s spent time with Mariinsky Ballet in St. Petersburg, San Francisco Ballet and Royal Swedish Ballet, his contribution will be grounded in the notion of making the artificial appear organic.

“I’m trying to imagine the movement of an artificial being constructed from steel and silicon with a chip in their head and access to information (on the) Internet,” he explains. “They can examine the movement that is hanging in the cloud.”

His title was inspired by the Jóhann Jóhannsson composition, “Printer,” which he uses during his piece’s second movement. The track recites user manual instructions for an IBM 1401 data processing printer alongside spare vibes that build to a wave of sweeping strings.

As his musical decision helps explain, he wanted to examine his piece “from a point of view of development.” His first and third movements will be composed by San Francisco chamber duo Living Earth Show.

As part of the evening’s program, Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley will also be reprising Jessica Lang’s Eighty One, a 2013 world premiere from the company. After Friday and Saturday evening performances, Bodies of Technology will conclude with a Sunday matinee performance at 1:30pm.—Brandon E. Roos

SOFTCORE ‘Get Hard’ pedals TV screen values, limpness all over the place.

Director Etan Cohen might as well be trying to herd cats.

My Bodyguard DIMINUTIVE COMEDIAN Kevin Hart has enough star power that he can play the Oracle Arena, but what he’s got certainly isn’t visible in Get Hard. It’s like someone trying to retrieve the alleged magic of Stir Crazy with a smaller and more fearful Richard Pryor and a paler, moister version of Gene Wilder.

in this movie, but it hides. An example: the gardener who wears a series of hand-medown T-shirts left over from King’s various social functions and celebrations (“Too Big To Fail Palooza” reads one). Cohen throws the bookworms in the audience a smidgen of bone when someone mistakes the name “Balzac” for “ballsack.”

Obnoxious rich jerk James King (Will Ferrell) has it all: a mansion in Bel Air, a hot wife Alissa (Alison Brie) who runs around in thousand-dollar lingerie, and a squad of grossed-out Hispanic servants.

Immediately comes a reversal of fortune and James is sentenced to ten years in prison for financial malfeasance. Now a pariah, he buddies up with Darnell (Hart) who supervises the garage team that washes his Audi. Terrified by fantasies of the prison rape he’s sure he’ll soon endure, King hires Darnell on the grounds that he’s pretty much the first black man he’s laid eyes on. King wants this quiet family man to give him lessons on how to survive in San Quentin.

With its inexpensive, television-like visuals, Get Hard looks like it’s been knocked around by a series Get Hard of writers who didn’t have much appetite for the story.

R, 100 min.

The film’s class-card playing, Opens visible from the beginning valleywide. in split-screen contrast between the idle wealthy and the simmering lower depths, quits when James proves street gangsters and Wall Street thugs have a lot in common-suddenly both sides are happy with one another. The movie tries to force a hug between fans of the damp Ferrell and Hart doing his motormouth bits, in one-manshow versions of Boys in the Hood and Oz played for King’s benefit. This isn’t the dawn of a deathless comedy team here— physically, they can barely meet each other’s gazes. Repeatedly, Hart gets cleaned and jerked like a human barbell by Ferrell.

Has any African American performer been picked up and held so much since Sammy Davis Jr?— Richard von Busack

It’s clearly a treat for people who can’t stop giggling at the thought of prison buggery.

Get Hard induces a case of claustrophobia when it gets stuck in King’s mansion.

Darnell and his associates make it over into a sort of elementary school version of a maximum security prison. There is wit

RetoXx TRAP SHOP with Sean Blak

YOU KNOW THAT stereotypical vision of a German you have in your head?

Straight-laced, ultra conformist, following rules to the letter? Well, according to Dave Laney, founder and frontman of the Hamburg-by-way-of-Chicago punk band Auxes, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got it all backwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is one thing that is pretty strong in the German psyche,â&#x20AC;? Laney says, calling from his home in his adopted countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second largest city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so critical about how somebody looks or what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing all the time. It lends itself to a kind of freedom. People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to turn 30 and have a job at a bank. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more open to alternative ways of living.â&#x20AC;?

Auxes

May 30, 9pm, Free Caravan Lounge, San Jose auxes. bandcamp.com

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect for Laney. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been playing music for the better part of 20 years now, and he says he feels no pressure to be living â&#x20AC;&#x153;the so-called adult life.â&#x20AC;?

Laney says that the non-judgemental nature of German society has helped the European nation become a bastion for artists, noting that his new home not only boasts a world-renowned electronic music scene, but also a thriving punk circuit.

British Pub

Restaurant

Upon moving to Germany, Laneyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who made the leap to be closer to the woman he eventually marriedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;fell in with a collective of like-minded punk rock devotees.

They regularly threw DIY shows and worked together to keep the scene alive.

Earthquakes

Through the connections he made in the collective he eventually met musicians to play in his project Auxesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which he had started in 2007 with the goal of creating a â&#x20AC;&#x153;band that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be broken up.â&#x20AC;?

w/ author Gary Singh

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea with the band name, Auxesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short for auxiliary, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the name for a special component on a mixing console,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would always be a band where the members could revolve. As egomaniacal as that sounds, I wanted to start the band in a way that challenged the ideas of what a band could be.â&#x20AC;?

Wed. & Sun. KARAOKE w/DJ Hank Live Music 10pm

And for the ďŹ rst four years of Auxes, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly how it worked. All told, some 15 to 20 people have helped Laney perform his jagged, post-punk tunes, which recall the gruffness and ferocity of Titus Andronicus crossed with the bright indie-punk bounce of Modest Mouse and shimmering melodic sensibility of early Built to Spill and Dinosaur Jr.

THU DJ CLAY 3/26 FRI The Spazmatics - SF 3/27 SAT DJ Dinero 3/28

These days, though, Laney has ďŹ rmed up Auxes lineup, which he is bringing to the Caravan Lounge this Monday. The trio is currently touring behind their August 2014 release, the energetic Boys In My Head. They share the bill with White Lies from L.A., Helen Blood, Oxygen Destroyer and VWLS.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Nick Veronin
