RE: SHERIFF SMITH HEADS TO RUNOFF FOR FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS, THE FLY, JUNE 6

Well, 57 percent of voters voted for someone other than Laurie Smith. And the race has pretty visibly turned into a “Laurie or someone else” sort of thing. So it will be interesting to see how much of the other 26 percent of non-Laurie votes Hirokawa can consolidate. He needs 75 percent of those other votes, basically. Which if we were using ranked voting like San Francisco, and he got all the second-place votes like Leno did, he'd be the clear winner. Time will tell. TRAVIS CLARKE VIA FACEBOOK

You and your weak cohorts rolled up at the corner of San Carlos and Third streets and chose to unload pellet gun shots at me and my friends before “speeding” off. Were you my ex-girlfriend, and now after our breakup you’re some wildin’ gangsta? Baby, I'm sorry I kept the George Foreman grill. Or maybe you were just some Warriors fan engaging in extreme post-championship revelry? Whoever you were, I'm flattered to be a part of your drive-by shooting. Really I am. I'm just some average, ethnically ambiguous white guy, so I can see how it would be easy to mistake me for 50 Cent or Tupac. What an honor to stand alongside them in the annals of gunplay lore. And, it only cost me an elbow abrasion that I would describe as “weak AF,” as the kiddos say. But next time you wanna have fun stormin’ the castle, I suggest you bring something better than what mommy bought you at Toys R Us.

SUSAN ELLENBERG advances to the runoff in Santa Clara County’s District 4 supervisor race with a commanding lead over her six primary opponents, including her yet-undetermined general election challenger. But while ex-San Jose council-mates DON ROCHA and PIERUIGI OLIVERIO jockey for the coveted No. 2 spot in the county race, candidates have already lined up to fill Ellenberg’s Area 2 San They Jose Unified board seat.

One is a relative What? newcomer to local politics: JOSE MAGAÑA, SEND TIPS TO a K-8 instructional FLY@ METRONEWS. coach, San Jose Library COM and Early Education commissioner and the only Latino in the running. Born to a teen mom and a jailed dad, his compelling personal history inspired his career path and drive to create a more equitable school system. The other contenders—HELEN CHAPMAN and PETER ALLEN—have a lot in common, not least an ambition that’s pitted them against one other in past elections. Allen ran against Chapman in the 2014 primary for Oliverio’s council seat and endorsed her in the runoff, which she lost in the general to Councilwoman DEV DAVIS. Both aspiring trustees have worked for SJUSD. Chapman spent 16 years researching test scores for the district before becoming D2 Councilman SERGIO JIMENEZ’s policy aide, while Allen—until the end of this month, at least—handles SJUSD’s communications. Both espouse admiration for the woman they want to replace. Chapman knocked on doors for Ellenberg’s 2014 campaign. And though Allen endorsed her opponent that year, he says he’s since come around after seeing how effective she’s been on the board. That respect, he says, has only deepened after spending so much time with Ellenberg as his wife, ANGELICA RAMOS-ALLEN, manages her supervisor campaign. Finally, Chapman and Allen are neighbors. “I have a feeling we’re going to see a lot of each other,” Chapman says with a laugh.

OFF BEAT Rich Tran came under fire this week after Milpitas released a report detailing claims of inappropriate conduct by the young mayor.

Bad Rap Milpitas mayor slammed by colleagues over claims of sexism, awkward hugs BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

ILPITAS MAYOR Rich Tran campaigned on a promise to clean up City Hall from the top down. Not a year into his first term, he felt he delivered on that vow when notoriously combative City Manager Tom Williams resigned amid allegations of abusing taxpayer money and lying to cover his tracks. So it came as a shock to the 33-yearold mayor when his colleagues called him part of the problem. Then, in a somewhat bizarre turn of events, a woman he never met slammed him

for rapping what she took as low-key sexist lyrics. The Milpitas City Council on Monday issued a sharp rebuke, describing Tran as unprofessional, disrespectful and, essentially, a black eye on a community struggling to repair its tarnished reputation. “Service as an elected official is not a mere hobby, it carries accountability,” reads the statement signed by Vice Mayor Marsha Grilli and council members Bob Nuñez, Anthony Phan and Garry Barbadillo. “It is a professional and personal calling to help make our entire community better, more tolerant, and a more positive place everyone can call home. We ask Mayor Tran

to remember that, and to please not disappoint the people of Milpitas in the future.” The public call-out stems from claims of sexual harassment and age discrimination by the young mayor. A newly released report by Kramer Workplace Investigations concluded that Tran “more likely than not” made inappropriate age-based comments about 53-year-old Williams and “engaged in conduct of a sexual nature” by awkwardly hugging a female department head and asking a staffer if she had any single friends. The firm led by attorney Karen Kramer sustained the allegations because Williams seemed more credible than Tran, whose testimony was directly contradicted by other witnesses. It should be noted, however, that a separate investigation cast Williams as an unreliable witness because he said things that were demonstrably false to justify him misusing his city charge card, disobeying a council directive and physically and verbally intimidating an employee to try to hide his wrongdoing. Williams has

8 emailed councilors a YouTube clip of Tran performing a woefully offbeat rap to mildly gender-essentialist verses about a woman with ladylike posture who punches “like a guy” as further proof of his misogyny. “I don’t know if this was in his official capacity as mayor or recorded prior to his election,” she wrote, “but that shouldn’t matter because it highlights a pattern of misogyny and male privilege on his part. … Please do the right thing and remove him from office, because I can’t bear to raise my two daughters in a city run by Rich Tran.” Upon reading her critique, Tran shakes his head. “Wow,” he says. “This is from my rap days in 2010, [at a] benefit concert for the Friends of Hue Foundation. Raised $10,000 that night for an orphanage. [The] song was about Vietnamese women empowerment. My mom was there.” As for the other allegations, Tran says, they’re politically motivated. He says that Nuñez, for one—who’s hardly in a position to take the moral high ground, given the way he left East Side Union High School District—wants to challenge his re-election. As for the rest of the council, he says, they’ve had it out for him from the get-go. “I came here with a target on my back,” he says. But Tran says he doesn’t feel betrayed. No one on the council endorsed his run for office, so he had no illusions of camaraderie. “I don’t have any ill will towards anybody in City Hall,” he says. “I understand that this is politics and I am more disappointed that it has gotten to this point. I’ve never attacked anybody on this personal level.” Though proud enough of his Milpitas roots to tattoo the city’s name on his right forearm, the mayor says he’s ashamed of its politics. “I’m embarrassed by my hometown for having the worst politics in the county,” Tran says. “I’ve had everything thrown against me, but there’s no police report, there’s no formal complaints and I continue to be transparent in the community.” But for the mayor, the council’s opinion matters less than the public’s. “It’s all the residents that put me in office,” Tran says. “Over 8,000 of them. That’s who I answer to.”

also been tangled up in litigation over age discrimination, harassment and wrongful termination. But Williams—who has since returned to public sector work in Millbrae—isn’t Milpitas’ problem anymore. He’s been replaced by an apparently far more diplomatic successor in Julie Edmond-Mares, who has since re-hired Steve McHarris, a planning official who fled Milpitas a few years ago to escape Williams’ wrath after filing a complaint about the city manager’s misconduct. With direction from the council, the new city officials are trying to mend an agency demoralized and divided by more than a decade of dysfunction. Thus, the attention has shifted to Tran. In the statement issued earlier this week, the council calls his behavior a distraction from the city’s efforts to sort things out. “Looking forward, we trust that the mayor has learned and grown from this painful experience over the past year,” the council writes. “We hope he now understands that words have consequences, and that as mayor representing all our residents and all our employees, he must adhere both to a much higher standard than for a private person, and to a standard that we have not fully seen from him.” But the outspoken mayor says the incidents detailed in the 2017 report, which the city unveiled this past week, were taken out of context to support Williams’ narrative. The uncomfortable embraces, he says, were “side hugs.” Tran explained to an investigator last year that he was “not raised to shake hands,” and that he intended to continue hugging people at events unless they’re not “huggers.” Those rationalizations didn’t fly with Kramer. “Mayor Tran failed to acknowledge the conduct attributed to him and maintained that he has not done anything wrong,” she wrote in her 45-page report. “He stated during his interview that it is his goal to be the ‘best mayor in the nation,’ and that the citizens of Milpitas are happy, so he is happy and is sleeping at night.” Soon after the council sent its scolding news release this week citing Kramer’s findings, other critics chimed in.

WALK OF THE TOWN The Anti-Man-About-Town heads to the coast of Italy to experience the ‘idiosyncratic cosmopolitanism’ of Trieste.

Sea Sight

Walking among the ghosts of literary greats in the Italian coastal town of Trieste BY GARY SINGH

HE AUTHOR James Joyce harbored a love-hate relationship with his hometown of Dublin, so he exiled himself to Trieste, a city at the tip of the Adriatic Sea, in what’s now Italy. Since I’ve already written about Joyce’s birthplace and gravesite, Trieste was the next logical destination.

Although Trieste is where Joyce wrote Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, as well as The Dubliners and significant portions of Ulysses, he was

not the only one whose ghost began to follow me around. An unapologetically trans-ethnic type of place, Trieste was for centuries the main port city of the AustroHungarian Empire. After World War I, it became part of Italy. After World War II, it became a free independent territory administered in two different zones, one run by the Americans and the British, the other run by Tito’s Yugoslavia. Then, in 1954, the two zones were split, with the northern zone going back to Italy—the current-day Trieste— and the rest going to Tito, but an area that’s now part of Slovenia and

part of Croatia. All of which forced generations to migrate every which direction, resulting in progressively unclassifiable flavors of nostalgia and identity. By today’s geography, this is an area where Italy, Austria and Slovenia all bleed into each other with borders that make no sense to anyone. You meet Italian nationals with Slavic names or Slovenes whose mother tongue is Italian. You meet people longing for Austria who were never even Austrian and there even exist people fighting to bring back the independent Trieste. The travel writer Jan Morris referred to Trieste’s “idiosyncratic cosmopolitanism” and how it exists in a state of “permanent hiatus,” terms I just love because the city seems to operate outside the linear passage of history in regards to the ways that cities are normally defined by language, authority, allegiances or relationships to larger regions. In fact, while exploring Trieste one immediately realizes the sheer idiocy of defining anyone’s identity solely by nation-states or borders because such a perspective

simply can’t apply to Trieste. Today the city effortlessly embroiders threads of Italian, Slavic and Germanic history, as well as the politics, religion and architecture of all those demographics. It is a city where everyone’s identity is formerly a part of some other identity, a place simultaneously everything and yet somehow existing between everything, a multidimensional space of intersecting transitions. It’s also a coffee capital and still a major port city. Pulled along by the flow, I walked throughout the city over the course of a few days, but James Joyce was not the only author haunting me. There were many more. Sir Richard Francis Burton, the 19th-century explorer and blasphemous troublemaker, lived in Trieste, working as the British consulate when he translated The Kama Sutra and The Arabian Nights. While a wealth of markers and itineraries exist to re-imagine Joyce’s time in Trieste, practically nothing remains of Burton’s life. Nor does hardly anything remain of the provocative French novelist Stendhal, who briefly operated in Trieste, working as the French consulate. But here’s what blew me away the most. The American diplomat Alexander Wheelock Thayer wrote the first definitive biography of Beethoven, working on much of it while serving as the U.S. consulate in Trieste, likewise in the 19th century. Thayer is even buried nearby. In yet another example of synchronicity as cosmic performance art, I found out right before I traveled to Italy that Thayer’s old passport, some of his correspondence, letters and artifacts, as well as his uniform from when he served as U.S. consul in Trieste, including his jacket, pants, gloves, hat and sword, are stored in the vault at the Beethoven Center at San Jose State University, in my own neighborhood, right down the street from where I live, a facility inseparable from my alma mater, the SJSU Music Department. As a result of such spacetime continuum-shattering vibrations, I can safely say that walking around in Trieste for a few days made me want to be an international diplomat. I must have a future in foreign service. I wouldn’t wear a uniform, but someday my clothes will also be acquired by the Beethoven Center. Long live an international Trieste!

PREPARING FOR THE BEST

READY PLAYER FUN

Y AFTERNOON begins with a leisurely stroll through downtown Campbell, but the quiet is soon interrupted as I step through the door of the former Gaslighter Theater. I am immediately greeted with the sounds of bells, whistles, laughter—and a very distinct “wakka, wakka, wakka...” that I hadn’t heard in years.

I peer into the corner and witness a group of young adults sipping on cold draft beers while playing fourplayer Pac-Man Battle Royale, then I almost trip over a pack of young kids darting across the room. They move from machine to machine like bees pollinating flowers, but instead of buzzing, they laugh and are enthralled by these 8-bit relics of days past. Welcome to one of the South Bay’s newest gastropubs. LvL Up, which recently opened in downtown Campbell, is part of a trend that’s slowly been spreading across the country. It fuses our childhood (arcades) and adulthood (bars) into one homogenous, dreamlike place that you pray you’ll never have to leave: a bar-arcade. Barring the ubiquitous Dave &

Buster’s, the concept dates back to 2004, when a group of friends in Brooklyn first opened a bar that served craft beer and also housed classic arcade games. Appropriately named Barcade, the venue saw great success in the northeastern U.S., where they’ve opened up seven locations. A planned expansion out West has its sights set on Los Angeles in the near future. Thinking on it now, the combination seems to be almost a no-brainer, but as with all things, being the first also means your brand becomes the Kleenex of tissue paper. Barcade has successfully defended their name in court, as other such establishments have attempted to use that term in their respective monikers. Closer to home, there have been several places in the Bay Area that have followed this formula of games and brews—one of which is Brewcade in San Francisco. The one nagging question I had when I first began looking into this concept was, why did it take so long for us in the South Bay—the birthplace of video games and bars with coin operated game machines—to finally get our first bararcade? I reached out to the proprietor of Brewcade, Shawn Vergara, and asked him this very thing. “Unlike a traditional bar, opening an arcade-bar poses many unique

challenges when it comes to the games,” Vergara explains. “With the games becoming more expensive and harder to come by, curating an eclectic inventory takes time and money.” But as with all things, when it rains it pours, now that LvL Up is officially off the ground, another bar-arcade is in the process of beginning to open up in the little hamlet of downtown San Jose. From the people that brought us Paper Plane comes miniBoss, which is slated to open in early fall of this year in the old Toons nightclub location on East Santa Clara Street. Co-owner George Lahlouh is ecstatic about this new venture— especially when it comes to what they will have to offer in terms of games. “We will have an assortment of arcade and pinball machines— about 32 to 36 in total,” he says. “The majority of the games are late ‘80s-, early ‘90s-era games such Street Fighter 2, NBA Jam and some of the earlier stuff being games like Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Tron.” Lahlouh also revealed to me that they will actually have two establishments in one; to go along with miniBoss will be a walk-up counter service restaurant aptlynamed SuperGood to help fill the almost 5,800 square feet of space. “Although we will operate

GAME ON Pinball and cocktails— the perfect combination—at the newly opened LvL Up in Campbell.

as a single entity, we want our guests to feel like they’re getting two different but complementary experiences in one place,” Lahlouh explains. “The food program will be led by Chef Winson Duong, who currently runs our food program at Paper Plane. I don’t want to reveal too much—but really great stuff is in store here, so get excited!” LvL Up has nowhere near the square footage that miniBoss will, but they do an excellent job in making full use of their space. They have over 25 classic arcade games, as well as six pinball machines. “The plan from the very beginning was to have some of our arcade games on rotation,” explains Ares Clough, the marketing director for LvL Up. “The film industry has done a good job hyping up certain games (i.e., Rampage), so we’ll be keeping a close eye on upcoming films to make future game rotations relevant.” Rotating games might sound easy when you’re talking about switching out cartridges, but to rotate full-sized arcade games you need someone with a giant collection to make that all possible. Enter California Extreme, an annual arcade game convention—and one of the largest purveyors of classic arcade and pinball games on the West Coast. All games are leased through them and this helps to take care of any ancillary maintenance, new acquisition costs and helps to keep the business fresh. Now with games out of the way, LvL Up could focus on a real hook to draw the crowd. Co-owner and former Café Stritch chef David Ramsay was on board to curate a menu to elevate them from a simple bar to a gastropub. “Chef Ramsay really wanted a focus on high-end pub fare. From Baby Back Sticky Ribs to our Ahi Shoyu Poke Salad, our menu is incredibly diverse. We have the full menu planned out and are working our way up to it,” Clough says. “We didn’t want to overwhelm the kitchen, so we’re gradually adding more to the menu as the weeks go on. We are a little over half-menu right now and hope to have the full menu available within the next few weeks.” To go along with their kick-ass menu,

co-owner and mixologist extraordinaire Josh Schulenberg, has crafted several signature gaming-themed cocktails, such as the Hadouken, Over 9,000?! and Elder Scroll. Beyond the arcade games, food and drinks the one thing that caught my attention early on at LvL Up was the family-friendly atmosphere. I was anticipating an adult-only crowd. The presence of young kids was an unexpected, but pleasant, surprise. LvL Up’s policy is all ages are welcome before 8pm, and then it becomes adults (21+) only. They also provide patrons with a multitude of board games, which friends and families eagerly participated in while noshing and sipping as they sat on their parklike wooden benches and tables. “We’re more than the arcade,” Clough states. “We definitely want to provide entertainment for our patrons—but more than that the owners jumped into this concept with the intention of providing a nostalgic experience through immersion.” As with all new concepts, there’s always potential for failure, as patrons can be fickle folks that fear to tread into uncharted territories. Several gaming-type restaurants (i.e., uWink, AFK Gamer Lounge) have opened in the South Bay and closed for various reasons. Lahlouh seemed confident stating, “The emphasis here is on ‘fun’ and really tying in the food and drinks to feed that atmosphere. As much as we would like to think we will be swimming in a vault full of quarters like Scrooge McDuck, we are realists and understand what really pays the bills are the food and drink.” He further elaborates, “We know as long as we keep those our primary core objectives, we will position ourselves to be successful.” I never really got my answer why it’s taken so long for a bar-arcade scene to show up in Silicon Valley, but everything happens for a reason, I suppose. “What we are certain of is that the timing is more right now than ever,” Lahlouh professes. “All of us ‘80s/’90s arcade kids are all grown-up, but the kid is still in there somewhere. Fast forward 20 years, swap the soda pop for a refreshing craft brew—and let’s party like it’s 1989!”

ROUND UP Of all the gin joints in all the cities in all the world, you can now order a cocktail—plus tacos and a sandwich—from your seat at the Pruneyard Dine-In Cinemas.

ENTERTAINMENT VALUE Local theaters reinvent themselves, with a little help from booze BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

HE CONCEPT OF of drinking at the movie theaters has come from de trop to deluxe. Any history of drinking in a theater should begin in the late 1960s, when box offices tanked and the ushers, who once would have evicted the flask-wielders, were all laid off. Many will recall the familiar sound of an empty bottle rolling loudly down the raked floor toward the screen. Particularly welcome during kissing scenes, the ruckus lightened the spirits and was always applauded.

The upgrading of this once-illegal experience was a long time coming. In the 1980s, the Vegas MGM Grand Hotel dazzled the tourists with a white-carpeted theater, where patrons could push a button and send for a round while watching old standards like A Day at the Races. Opposition to the great idea of bringing drinks to the moviegoer can be summed up by Jeremy Bagott of the Fresno Bee, who posited that bringing liquor into the mix would negatively impact impressionable

youth: “Over time, kids will learn to associate cocktails, tap handles and brass foot rails with movie-going as they sit near drinkers in darkened auditoriums.” Brass foot rails have got to be a hazard in a dark theater. This upgrade is due to a downturn: a drop in the number of tickets sold. Thanks to Peak Television, no one wants to leave their living room, so theaters have been re-creating that living room with wide overstuffed leather recliners and distinguished drinks. Paying $5 for a bag of popped kernels may be too much, but nobody minds paying for a more interesting type of corn—mashed, distilled and aged. Some of the local chain-plexes are selling ale, most making sure that no one steps into the lounge area with their plastic cups. 3Below has its own beer and wine concessions. But the new Pruneyard in Campbell is the fanciest picture and pub experience in Northern California. The experience is overseen by Drew Steven Johnson, former drink manager of the Alamo Drafthouse. While that San Francisco theater is a landmark, it features a logistical distraction, the help scuttling like coal miners as they bring you the round you buzzed for. The extra space between seats at the Pruneyard makes all the difference. I rang for one from the specialty drink menu tied to Ocean’s 8—a $8 Twist at the End cocktail (vodka, two kinds of citrus, Lillet to sub for vermouth and bit of Cherry Heering, all served in a tiny ice bucket). Those worried about the kids, note that they carded me—me, a man who will never view the happy side of 50 again. The swiveling tray was comfortable, with a deep sturdy cupholder in it. And Ocean’s 8 was a cocktail in itself: a tribute to the ’60s caper movie, made with maximum wit and chicness, and an invigorating hint of lesbian possibilities (“I am not your partner… yet,” says Cate Blanchett to Sandra Bullock). It exemplified the summer rule: Make it the same, only different. But then, show me a movie that a drink won’t make better.

THE PREPPERS Craft cocktail lounges, like The Cedar Room, rely on a skilled prep team to squeeze fresh juices and carve perfectly cubed, crystal clear blocks of ice.

GET FRESH

VER THE PAST several years, the Silicon Valley has been blessed with a burgeoning craft cocktail scene. While plenty of neighborhood bars and dance clubs serve up bulletproof standards, like rum and coke or gin and tonic, the discerning sipper now has many more options.

The “craft” in these upscale drinks comes not only from higher quality hooch and bartenders who pay closer attention to their jiggers. It also is due in large part to a behind-the-scenes prep effort, which involves freshsqueezed juices and hand-carved ice. Drew Johnson, bar manager at The

Pruneyard Dine-In Cinemas and the adjoining Cedar Room craft cocktail lounge, wants moviegoers ordering off the in-theater menus to feel like they are getting a better version of what they might like to make themselves at home. For example, a Moscow mule made with freshly pressed ginger, which his dedicated prep team creates in-house every day. But when patrons come in just for a drink at the Cedar Room, he wants to give them something they wouldn’t even dream of whipping up in their own kitchen. That means having all kinds of interesting flavors on hand— from top-shelf whiskeys and gins, to super-fresh mixers and garnishes. The prep team at the Cedar Room works from about 8am to 4pm every day to fresh-press enough juice for the evening. They also spend a fair

21 Manzano, bartender at 55 South, a craft cocktail lounge in downtown San Jose. He estimates the 55 South prep team takes about two hours every day to squeeze their fresh juices. Another hour goes into garnishes and fresh herbs, like orange peels, lemon peels, cucumber wedges and mint. Speaking of mint, Manzano explains that every batch of fresh mint is given an ice bath before the stems are placed into a cup of warm water. This combo of cold and hot helps keep the mint super fresh. Manzano’s bar has also invested in a state of the art water softener, which ensures that the ice that melts into the drinks—as well as the plain water served to customers—is as pure and devoid of adulterants as possible. “It elevates the experience to another level,” he says. —Nick Veronin

amount of time cutting ice—which is the secret to ensuring every cube is precisely cubical, free of impurities and crystal clear. To do this, they start out with massive blocks of ice, which have been frozen slowly so that the impurities in the water have time to bubble up to the surface or sink to the bottom. Then, using a combination of ice picks, cleavers and razor sharp knives, they shape the ice one chip at a time. Johnson didn’t invent any of these processes. In fact, he says, any craft cocktail bar that takes itself seriously will go the extra mile to ensure all its ingredients are fresh. “We’re far past those days where you could just go to the store and get sweet and sour mix and that could be your citrus at the bar,” Johnson says. “It’s a lot of work,” agrees Curtis

POUR PLEASURE With taprooms opening all over Silicon Valley, there’s plenty to smile about.

TAP TAKEOVER RAFT BEER IS nothing new. The movement, which began with the bottling of San Francisco’s Anchor Steam in the 1970s and took flight with the likes of the San Jose-born Gordon Beirsch and the Chico-spawned Sierra Nevada, has accelerated over the past decade, as cities like San Diego and Portland have become destinations for beer lovers seeking the perfect hoppy concoction or sour cider. While Silicon Valley has a way to go before catching up to other beer meccas, it has lately made a serious push in this department. Over the past year alone, three new taprooms have sprouted just south of downtown San Jose—first came the brewpub Uproar Brewing Company,

followed by Camino Brewing Company and Clandestine Brewing. One thing’s for sure: It’s a great time to be a beer lover in the South Bay.

ASIAN FUSION The fried shrimp curry at Kizuna comes with large, ultra-crispy shrimp and a heaping helping of gravy-like curry.

Curry On Kizuna puts a Japanese spin on an Indian staple with multiple saucy offerings BY JOHN DYKE

HEN DINERS HEAR the word “curry,” they would be forgiven for automatically turning their minds to Indian food. While curry did originate in India, it was later introduced to Japan by—who else?— the British. While the smell of Japanese curry in unmistakable, the flavor and sauce has been transformed by the Japanese to suit their tastes; it tends to be more like a thick, hearty gravy and

the flavor is sweeter, and relies on a different combination of spices. A fair share of Japanese restaurants serve-up some version curry, but I tend to try and only order it from places that specialize in this dish—as their curries are generally far superior. One such place is the newly opened Kizuna. It’s located on San Jose’s west side. The restaurant’s small, curated menu specializes in simple homestyle Japanese dishes, mostly of the fried variety. We decided to the chicken karaage

($7) app, fried shrimp curry ($12.50) and the kakiage udon ($12). First up was the karaage and it was really quite delicious. The batter was nice and light and it came out piping-hot and fresh. They also provided a pretty generous portion that would’ve been a proper app for three or four patrons. As is traditional though, their karaage doesn’t come served with any dipping sauces—just some fresh lemon to squeeze on top. Next, the two main entrées were served and the udon came out with giant pieces of crispy vegetable tempura served over the clean, light broth and al dente noodles. We were a bit puzzled, because inside the veggies were pieces of shrimp that weren’t mentioned in the menu. I’m not sure if this was by accident, or if this was standard, but it is worth posing the question for those of the vegetarian and vegan persuasion. Lastly, the curry came out and it looked divine. While there were only three shrimp on the plate, it was

worth noting that they were gigantic and featured a deliciously crispy panko-crusted exterior. As for the curry itself, it was thick, hearty and had strong overtones of cloves and nutmeg in its beefy base. The sauce contained shredded pieces of tender beef and made for a very hearty meal when combined with their fluffy white rice. This would be a great meal anytime—but on a cold dreary winter day it would be perfect. In the culinary adventure that is life, it is important to seek out variations and see how similar foods have evolved from culture-toculture. While Japanese curry may never achieve the culinary fame of its Indian forefather, it is definitely a dish worth sampling.

FRESH CATCH The Wrapped Fish in San Jose brings poke into the fold of burrito fusion.

Five To Watch

IX MONTHS IS usually considered the earliest a new restaurant, bar or coffeeshop can receive a fair review. Each month, Metro spotlights five of the newest places we think are worth a look-see.

THE WRAPPED FISH 422 W Capitol Expy, San Jos. 408.440.8912 One of the food world’s most bizarre fusions—Japanese sushi and Cal-Mexican burrito—can now add one more culture into the mix: Hawaiian poke! The Wrapped Fish features house signature, and custom-built pokerritos, poke bowls—and even poke nachos to order.

BURGER LOUNGE 1875 S Bascom Ave, Campbell. 408.412.9160. This SoCal-based burger chain brings its earth-friendly ethos to NorCal for the first time and lands squarely in the revitalized Pruneyard. Burger Lounge specializes in sustainably sourced items and locally grown produce. Their specialty is serving up grass-fed beef, cage-free turkey, line-caught Alaskan cod and organic salads.

PORTA BLU 200 Independence Dr, Menlo Park. 650.304.3800. Located inside the Hotel Nia—overlooking a beautifully landscaped and serene courtyard—is Porta Blu. This dog-friendly, open air restaurant is perfect for a casual lunch date or a romantic evening with a special someone. Their Middle Eastern rack of lamb with a pomegranate molasses is truly top-notch.

PUESTO 2752 Augustine Dr, Santa Clara. 408.333.9750. This La Jolla-based favorite makes its way up north and features fancy hipster and authentic tacos. They really up the ante on the humble taco by serving high-end ingredients (e.g., lobster, filet mignon, soft-shell crab) on house-made tortillas. Puesto’s drink game is strong as well, with a nice selection of wines, top-shelf tequilas, margaritas and sangria.

TAVERNA 800 Emerson St, Palo Alto. 650.304.3840. From the people that brought you Kokkari, Evvia and Village Pub comes the latest fine-dining Greek restaurant: Taverna. Features include local, seasonal ingredients to aid in capturing the best of modern Hellenic cuisine. The wine list, with more than 150 different vintages, are sure to please. The grilled octopus and any of their lamb dishes should be listed on every check.—John Dyke

Sat, 8pm, $85+ SAP Center, San Jose

Santa Cruz-based singer and songwriter Marty O’Reilly is often thought of as a folk and Americana act, but make no mistake: in his heart, he’s channeling the blues. Possessed of an otherwordly old-soul singing voice, O’Reilly and his band, the Old Soul Orchestra, have been charming Bay Area audiences for years with a deft mix of moody covers of Johnny Cash, Tom Waits and Howlin’ Wolf, and striking originals like those on the group’s mature new album, Stereoscope. With five years of touring now under his belt, the man with the worldweary voice now has something to be weary about. (WB)

Best friends and comedians Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley are two moms who actually know how to use hashtags. Their viral web series, #IMOMSOHARD, has amassed more than one million followers and hundreds of millions of video views in just two years. The duo will bring their lively and laughable observations on the trials and tribulations of momhood—including the awkwardness of wearing Spanx, the challenges of dealing with body hair, and getting through it all with sparkling wine—to live audiences this summer before starting production on their own half-hour comedy show with CBS. (AS)

Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli stops at San Jose’s SAP Center on his world tour. With 15 solo studio albums and three greatest hits albums on his list of achievements, Bocelli will serenade his audience with songs like “Because We Believe” or his rendition of “The Prayer.” In the past Bocelli has performed alongside vocalists like Celine Dion, Ana Maria Martinez and Al Jarreau. Bocelli’s award-winning performance will fill the Shark Tank as his voice crescendos in songs such as “Con Te Partirò,” leaving audience members with goosebumps. (KL)

Formed by singer-songwriter and frontman Will Sprott in 2005, the Mumlers are one of the few San Jose-based bands to have achieved success in the larger indie folk scene but have also stayed true to their hometown roots. After a months-long hiatus, the Mumlers are back in support of a worthy cause: This special fundraiser show will donate all ticket proceeds to the recovery fund for local skateboarder Gerry Juan, who suffered a severe head injury in March and has been hospitalized since. With support from South Bay-based acoustic group The Stars Misplaced and DJ Cutso, the show will also include a raffle and auction; prizes are to be announced. (AS)

PINKO PARTY Friends (George Psarras, Gabriel Marin, Donna Vivino) catch a performance by comedian Mickey (Jim Stanek) in ‘Finks,’ now playing in Mountain View.

Seeing Red ‘Finks’ follows the romance of two activist actors battling McCarthyism BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

N FINKS, PLAYWRIGHT Joe Gilford imagines the lives of his showbiz parents, Madeline and Jack Gilford, at a crucial point in the beginning of their 40-year marriage. Their fictional counterparts are Mickey (Jim Stanek), a stand-up comedian, and Natalie (Donna Vivino), an actress and activist. They meet in a nightclub where Mickey’s performing. Natalie sees him and decides for the both of them that they’re meant for each other. And despite the fact that they’re both attached to other people when they first meet, the drama of their

romantic coupling is only the framing device for writer Gilford’s agenda. Finks is set during the 1950s, when the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings dominated the headlines. Natalie belongs to an actors’ collective, a socialist one that supports unions and free speech. Some of the members were communist sympathizers or members of the communist party in the years that led up to World War II. She’s recruiting Mickey into her bed as much as she’s recruiting him for the cause. In one of their early exchanges, Natalie accounts for her activism by talking about her father's profession, “My father was a pattern cutter in the Amalgamated. He worked in a factory so cold you had to

boil the cloth before you could cut it.” There’s a breeziness to this confession that neuters its emotional weight and import. Throughout the first act, Natalie and Mickey banter with each other rather than extract meaning from the dialogue they’ve been given. Giovanna Sardelli, the director, quickens the pace of every interaction, rushing the actors past their ability to connect or to convince the audience that they are connecting. Natalie is portrayed as a woman of voracious appetites who always gets what she wants. We see that Mickey falls in love with her because she tells him to, and not because we can feel the chemistry between them about to bubble over. They kiss and tell us how turned on they are, but the passion sounds false. They’re either trying too hard or talking in an overly stylized manner that’s meant to mimic the pacing of classic screwball comedies like Bringing Up Baby. An American flag with 48 stars hangs at the center of the stage. Underneath it is the facsimile of a courtroom. The play’s narrative moves back and forth between Mickey and Natalie’s story in the foreground, set in living rooms and clubs, and the recessed courtroom where some of the artists who were

blacklisted in Hollywood testify. We hear testimony from Lee J. Cobb, Budd Schulberg and Elia Kazan that’s been pulled from the hearings’ actual transcripts. But each time the action cuts away from Natalie and Mickey, the courtroom scenes foreshadow what’s coming for them in the second act with a very heavy gavel in hand. Gilford’s courtroom scenes are built with an expectation that you’ve studied up on the Red Scare or rented Warren Beatty’s Reds (1981) or George Clooney’s Good Night, and Good Luck (2005). That you’ll know what each one of Natalie’s and Mickey’s friends has to lose if they’re subpoenaed. They could become finks by naming names or get blacklisted by not doing so. They could torch their reputations or careers—or even end up in jail. As he’s written, Mickey is a compliant, accommodating boyfriend, then husband, to Natalie, and soon-tobe father of her children. The great conflict in Finks comes when the television network he’s about to work for threatens to cancel his show if he doesn’t testify. Until that point, Stanek has performed Mickey’s Borscht Belt routines as an innocent, free of irony or any sense of contemporaneity. He’s come across as a light, comedic actor who must then embody a man engaged in a terrible conflict. But Finks invests more in nostalgia than it does in sturm und drang. There’s plenty of era-appropriate music, clothing and cultural references but nothing at stake when Mickey takes the stand. Of course, he’s going to do the right thing. From all the evidence in front of us, he would never be able to disregard Natalie’s sense of moral self-righteousness. Gilford says as much in an interview TheatreWorks Silicon Valley conducted with him: “However, Mickey’s conflict about what he would actually do in the end is about the furthest I went to fictionalize for dramatic purposes. In real life, there was never any doubt as to my father’s intentions.” Dramatized or not, in this production there was never any doubt as to Mickey’s intentions, either.

episode one—with Elastigirl taking center stage.

Heroes for Hire Pixar’s ‘The Incredibles 2’ keeps the super hero family franchise interesting BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

N A BEGINNING as splashy as most finales, directorwriter Brad Bird’s The Incredibles 2 picks up right where its predecessor ended. The mole-man Underminer escapes with Mr. Incredible clinging to the side of his burrowing hell machine, churning scree right in the hero’s extra-large face. During the conflict, the superpowered family accidentally trash the city, even as their government liaison, Rick Dicker (voiced by Jonathan Banks), is donning an aloha shirt in preparation for retirement. The Incredibles—dad Bob (voiced by Craig T. Nelson), mom Helen

(Holly Hunter) and their three kids—go on the lam to a cheap motel. Their friend, the super-cool Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson), brings news of private sector help from the Deavers, a brother and sister high tech firm. Evelyn Deaver (Catherine Keener), a bit of a drinker, has the blousy look of late-period Judy Garland. Her brother Winston (Bob Odenkirk) is too slick and sports an untrustworthy looking electric blue sharkskin suit. The Deavers have a plan to rebrand the superheros as public heroes, instead of as illegal agents of chaos. For modish girl-power marketing reasons, Elastigirl will be the first hero given a makeover. That’s the best single idea in Incredibles 2: reversing the angle on the predecessor by making it about her, by suggesting that the most superpowered member of the team might not be the massive Mr.

Incredible. The amazing Elastigirl hurls her limbs to objects 400 yards away, swinging her way through the city. After forming a human parachute or a glider, the mother-hipped champion stretches like a Slinky dog to command a super-motorcycle that splits into a pair of unicycles. It’s squash and stretch animation taken to its limits. Meanwhile, Bob stays home as an inept Mr. Mom with seething tween Violet (voiced by pop-historian Sarah Vowell), super-speedster son Dash and multiplepowered baby Jack-Jack. In a Pixar project, where story is so slaved-over, the question of ‘What’s the movie about?’ can’t be answered with a plot-point roster: “family bonding, young love, a legion of bizarre superheroes, a terrific fight between an infant and a raccoon, aerial and terrestrial chases, and a finish in a runaway hydrofoiling superyacht—like the Disco Volante parts in Thunderball, only better.” It’s not a movie that leaves you asking, “What more have you got?” But it isn’t deepened by questions of duty and extra-legal force. In a really good superhero movie, the villain’s speeches speak to our doubts—in The Dark Knight, the Joker’s gibes about societal breakdown ring true. The model for The Incredibles is Alan Moore’s graphic novel The

GIRL POWERS ‘The Incredibles 2’ cleverly reverses the polarity of

Watchmen,about the twilight of the superheroes—Bird even stole a joke about the problem of capes from it. In The Watchmen, the super-powered protectors had become illegal because protesters demand actual police with badges, instead of masked vigilantes. In Incredibles 2, a hooded, skull-masked criminal known as Screenslaver hypnotizes his victims through Op-art TV broadcasts. His Unabomber speeches critique the public’s decadent preference for secondhand experience and spectacle. Later on, the show’s true villain says, “Superheroes keep us weak.” This time, it’s not bottom-up but top-down action that made the supers illegal; the world’s governments exiled them all. An overheard radio commentator describes Congress as a bunch of monkeys with a dartboard, and Dicker mutters that “politicians don’t understand people who do good.” Let Bird downplay the libertarianism in his work, but it’s essentially the envy of the mediocre that keeps the Supers illegal here. Note the internet speculation over whether superdesigner Edna Mode (ticklishly voiced by Bird) is meant to be Ayn Rand. Bird’s love for the mid-20th century style excuses the cranky politics-—back then, Rand seemed as futuristic as a monorail. He namechecks vintage animation, with an appearance by the hero of boomer youths, Johnny Quest. A shrewd reference foretells Screenslaver’s rampage: The Outer Limits opener, reminding viewers that they’re no longer in control of their televisions. Incredibles 2 doubles down on the ’60s ambience of the first, with composer Michael Giacchino unleashing the John Barry trombones, and production designer Ralph Eggleston wreaking supercars and mansions with push button-operated indoor waterfalls. For all the nostalgia, this doesn’t seem like a replay or a retread. It’s particularly welcome, elating and thrilling, and it’s less kid-pitched than recent Pixars: the older you are, the more you’ll be pleased by what’s going on.

GOOD PEOPLE Billy Sherwood, second from left, bass player for prog rock legends Yes, is set to share his wisdom in a clinic for musicians at Streetlight Records.

School of Prog Yes bassist Billy Sherwood offers up his expertise in clinic for musicians BY WALLACE BAINE

T SOUNDS INCONGRUOUS at first, to check out a progrock legend at 10 in the morning. That’s the hour of the day when, we’ve come to believe, that most rock stars are just crawling into bed for a few hours of half-sleep before soundcheck. But for Billy Sherwood’s appearance in San Jose next week, that hour makes sense. Because this is less of a performance and more like school. Sherwood—who plays bass in the legendary progressive rock band Yes,

and is a respected audio engineer and producer—will come to Streetlight Records in San Jose on Wednesday morning June 20 to share a bit about what’s he learned from decades in the music business. For Yes superfans, the appeal is obvious enough. But for any musician serious about getting better, Sherwood is ready to offer up his brain to be picked. “The idea is that I’m going to discuss engineering, producing, the music business, what do you do with your songs when you have them finished, how to get things going in your career, all of that,” said Sherwood, 53,

by phone from a bus on which he is touring with Yes. “I’ll have my basses and guitars there, and if there is anyone looking for tips or techniques, we’ll do that, too. I’ll just let it flow where it goes, depending on who’s there.” Sherwood first joined Yes back in 1997 after striking up a fruitful partnership with original Yes bass player Chris Squire. Back then, Sherwood played guitars and keyboards. He left the band in 2000 but was asked back in 2015 to replace Squire, who had fallen ill. Before he died later that year, Squire gave Sherwood his blessing to be his permanent replacement. Two years later, Sherwood took on a similar role with Asia, another prog-rock supergroup. Outside of Yes, Sherwood has recorded a number of solo albums and has worked as a session player and producer for a countless list of projects with, among many others, Quiet Riot, Ratt, Toto, Air Supply and (you can look it up) Star Trek parody-of-himself William Shatner. Sherwood was producer of Shatner’s 2013 album Ponder the Mystery.

Sharing his experience in a clinic setting is a new venture for Sherwood. “I was offered to do a clinic in Italy,” he said, “but I was touring with Yes at the time. But then I thought, maybe I could do it in the States, at the cities that are on the tour. We started asking various venues like record stores and music stores if they’d host. We have nine of them booked so far.” Yes is slated to perform the evening of June 20 at the City National Civic in San Jose. “It’s not something we had thought about before,” said Streetlight’s store manager Paige Brodsky, who has hosted live musical performances at Streetlight in both San Jose and Santa Cruz. “But this opportunity fell into our laps and it sounded so interesting, we wanted to find a way to make it work. So we’ll call it an experiment.” The Billy Sherwood clinic is Streetlight’s first ticketed event. The fee for the two-hour session is $100. “If it’s successful, we could certainly see doing it again,” said Brodsky. “Part of the thing about my career,” said Sherwood, “is that I’ve always taken bold steps into new areas that I’ve never been involved in before. This clinic itself is a metaphor for that. You just have to go for it.” Sherwood was just a toddler when Yes first came together in Britain in 1968. “I was way into Yes from when I was about 12 years old,” he remembered. He first met Squire in the late 1980s and began writing music with him. “The relationship evolved with all the Yes guys after that. Yes has been a centerpiece for all the other things I’ve done in my career.” Sherwood grew up in a family of entertainers. His father, Bobby Sherwood, was a well-known bandleader and actor; he actually has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His mother was also a singer. “I don’t want to talk too much about it,” he said, “but I want to explain a bit about my heritage and what I’ve learned from my own experience and my parents’: You have to follow your road, but you can’t just haphazardly go for it. You have to have a target, have a plan.”

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

metroactive.com | sanjose.com | metrosiliconvalley.com | JUNE 13-19, 2018

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

I’m doing some work on my landlady’s house. She just CANNOT figure out what color to paint it. Now, when a man paints his house, he goes to Home Depot, grabs a few cans of paint and starts right in. Simple. Git 'er done. Not so with a woman. She'll agonize endlessly over a bunch of paint chips. She’ll finally make a decision, but even then, it’s subject to change without notice. So, my question: Has anyone analyzed this phenomenon and found a connection with, you know, a woman’s “time of the month?”—Handydude Some people are just irritating. It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with their ovaries. Women’s house paint preferences, sadly, have not been a prolific area of scientific study. However, there was a bunch of research suggesting that women’s mate preferences shift with their hormone levels during the menstrual cycle—for example, findings that women went for more masculine faces in the fertile phase of their cycle. But these studies had methodological shortcomings, which can lead to false positives. When psychologist Benedict Jones and his colleagues ran a study using more rigorous methodology to check these findings, they found “no compelling evidence that preferences for facial masculinity track changes in women’s hormonal status.” However, there do seem to be sex differences in decision-making. These differences emerge before the menstruation years, note neurobiologist Ruud van den Bos and his colleagues (referencing others’ research on 7- to 9-yearold children). Their own research finds that men and women show “small but consistent differences in decision-making” that appear related to sex differences in the brain—in information processing and

emotion regulation. Women appear to be “more sensitive” to potential losses (effects of bad choices)—which, in turn, might make an individual woman more hesitant to settle on a choice. (No choose, no lose!) The truth is, there are times when we all have difficulty making a choice. Psychologist Barry Schwartz explains that we (men and women) are driven to protect ourselves from regret. Fear of regret makes choosing especially challenging when we have a bunch of options without meaningful differences—like eight slightly different shades of off-white house paint: “Creme Fraiche? Coastal Ivory? Maybe Breezy Linen?” As for your observation about the chop-chop way men choose a paint color, consider that maybe the average dude might not be so picky about the color of his house. If you want to help your landlady, get some techie friend of yours to Photoshop each color onto the house so the final result is less abstract. Suggest she invite friends over for cocktails to help her choose. This isn’t just a social occasion; it’s a regret-minimization tactic, allowing her to disperse the blame for any grim post-painting epiphanies, such as “Ugh. Tuscan Yellow. Or as we call it in the States, ‘Three-Day-Old Urine Sample.’”

I’m not a very hairy guy—except in the armpit area. I’ve seen articles recently saying men should shave their armpit hair. Really? Do women go for this, or (sorry!) do they maybe think you’re gay?—Fur Pits Your body hair should not tell a story— like that Fidel Castro and Osama bin Laden actually aren’t dead; they’re hiding out in your armpits. Body hair removal for men has actually gone pretty mainstream. Psychologist Gareth Terry, in a 2016 paper exploring attitudes about male body hair removal, found that gay, straight and bisexual men and women saw male body hair as masculine and “natural” to a point—the point at which they found it “excessive” and thus disgusting. As one bisexual dude, 24, put it: “If you have a rug on your torso

or back, then try not to display it in public.” In the armpit hair arena, when psychologist Michael S. Boroughs surveyed 18- to 44-year-old American men, he found that 40 percent did some manscaping. Of these men, 62 percent just “reduced” the hair, and 38 percent removed it. Sure, some women might be into the Mr. Gorilla Pits thing. But hair grows back. Disgust is hard to reverse. So grab a beard clipper. Prune the hair down to a half-inch or so. As a guideline, if you’re taking a woman to a forested area, it should require more than just lifting one of your arms.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF WILLIS RAYMOND BAZZELL, AKA WILLIS R. BAZZELL CASE NO. 18PR183578 To all heirs, beneficiaries creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of: Willis Raymond Bazzell, aka Willis R. Bazzell. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Public Administrator of the Santa Clara County in the Superior Court of

California, County of: SANTA CLARA. The petition for Probate requests that: Public Administrator of Santa Clara County be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: August 3, 2018 at 9 a.m. in Dept. 12 located at 191 NORTH FIRST STREET, SAN JOSE, CA, 95113. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney of petitioner: Mark A.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): My Aries acquaintance

Tatiana decided to eliminate sugar from her diet. She drew up a plan to avoid it completely for 30 days, hoping to permanently break its hold over her. I was surprised to learn that she began the project by making a dessert altar in her bedroom, where she placed a chocolate cake and five kinds of candy. She testified that it compelled her willpower to work even harder and become even stronger than if she had excluded all sweet treats from her sight. Do you think this strenuous trick might work for you as you battle your own personal equivalent of a sugar addiction? If not, devise an equally potent strategy. You're on the verge of forever escaping a temptation that's no good for you. Or you're close to vanquishing an influence that has undermined you. Or both.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have caressed and finessed The Problem. You have tickled and teased and tinkered with it. Now I suggest you let it alone for a while. Give it breathing room. Allow it to evolve under the influence of the tweaks you have instigated. Although you may need to return and do further work in a few weeks, my guess is that The Problem's knots are now destined to metamorphose into seeds. The awkwardness you massaged with your love and care will eventually yield a useful magic. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "Whether you love what you love or live in divided ceaseless revolt against it, what you love is your fate." Gemini poet Frank Bidart wrote that in his poem "Guilty of Dust," and now I offer it to you. Why? Because it’s an excellent time to be honest with yourself as you identify whom and what you love. It’s also a favorable phase to assess whether you are in any sense at odds with whom and what you love; and if you find you are, to figure out how to be in more harmonic alignment with whom and what you love. Finally, dear Gemini, now is a key moment to vividly register the fact that the story of your life in the coming years will pivot around your relationship with whom and what you love. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Congratulations on the

work you’ve done to cleanse the psychic toxins from your soul, Cancerian. I love how brave you’ve been as you’ve jettisoned outworn shticks, inadequate theories and irrelevant worries. It makes my heart sing to have seen you summon the self-respect necessary to stick up for your dreams in the face of so many confusing signals. I do feel a tinge of sadness that your heroism hasn’t been better appreciated by those around you. Is there anything you can do to compensate? Like maybe intensify the appreciation you give yourself?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I hope you’re reaching the

final stages of your year-long project to make yourself as solid and steady as possible. I trust you have been building a stable foundation that will serve you well for at least the next five years. I pray you have been creating a rich sense of community and establishing vital new traditions and surrounding yourself with environments that bring out the best in you. If there’s any more work to be done in these sacred tasks, intensify your efforts in the coming weeks. If you’re behind schedule, please make up for lost time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Necessity is the

mother of invention,” says an old proverb. In other words, when your need for some correction or improvement becomes overwhelming, you may be driven to get creative. Engineer Allen Dale put a different spin on the issue. He said that “if necessity is the mother of invention, then laziness is the father.” Sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein agreed, asserting that “progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things.” I’m not sure if necessity or laziness will be your motivation, Virgo, but I suspect that the coming weeks could be a golden age of invention for you. What practical innovations might you launch? What useful improvements can you finagle? (P.S. Philosopher Alfred North Whitehead attributed the primary drive for innovative ideas and gizmos to “pleasurable intellectual curiosity.”)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Would you have turned out wiser and wealthier if you had dropped out of school in third grade? Would it have been better to apprentice yourself to a family of wolves or

By ROB BREZSNY week of June 13

coyotes rather than trusting your educational fate to institutions whose job it was to acclimate you to society’s madness? I’m happy to let you know that you’re entering a phase when you’ll find it easier than usual to unlearn any old conditioning that might be suppressing your ability to fulfill your rich potentials. I urge you to seek out opportunities to unleash your skills and enhance your intelligence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The temptation to

overdramatize is strong. Going through with a splashy but messy conclusion may have a perverse appeal. But why not wrap things up with an elegant whisper instead of a garish bang? Rather than impressing everyone with how amazingly complicated your crazy life is, why not quietly lay the foundations for a lowkey resolution that will set the stage for a productive sequel? Taking the latter route will be much easier on your karma, and in my opinion will make for just as interesting a story.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Each of us harbors

rough, vulnerable, controversial or unhoned facets of our identity. And every one of us periodically reaches turning points when it becomes problematic to keep those qualities buried or immature. We need to make them more visible and develop their potential. I suspect you have arrived at such a turning point. So on behalf of the cosmos, I hereby invite you to enjoy a period of ripening and self-revelation. And I do mean “enjoy.” Find a way to have fun.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): For the next two-

plus weeks, an unusual rule will be in effect: The more you lose, the more you gain. That means you will have an aptitude for eliminating hassles, banishing stress and shedding defense mechanisms. You’ll be able to purge emotional congestion that has been preventing clarity. You’ll have good intuitions about how to separate yourself from influences that have made you weak or angry. I’m excited for you, Capricorn! A load of old, moldy karma could dissolve and disperse in what seems like a twinkling. If all goes well, you’ll be traveling much lighter by July 1.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I suggest you avoid

starting a flirtatious correspondence with a convict who’ll be in jail for another 28 years. OK? And don’t snack on fugu, the Japanese delicacy that can poison you if the cook isn’t careful about preparing it. Please? And don’t participate in a séance where the medium summons the spirits of psychotic ancestors or diabolical celebrities with whom you imagine it might be interesting to converse. Got that? I understand you might be in the mood for high adventure and out-of-the-ordinary escapades. And that will be fine and healthy as long as you also exert a modicum of caution and discernment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I suggest that you pat yourself on the back with both hands as you sing your own praises and admire your own willful beauty in three mirrors simultaneously. You have won stirring victories over not just your own personal version of the devil, but also over your own inertia and sadness. From what I can determine, you have corralled what remains of the forces of darkness into a comfy holding cell, sealing off those forces from your future. They won’t bother you for a very long time, maybe never again. Right now you would benefit from a sabbatical, a vacation from all this high-powered character building. May I suggest you pay a restorative visit to the Land of Sweet Nonsense? Homework: Many of us try to motivate ourselves through abusive self-criticism. Do you? If so, maybe it’s time to change.
