DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES Visiting museum professionals work on the exhibit they have 48 hours to create as part of Hack the Museum Camp at MAH.
A Night in the Museum Artists and museum pros from all over gather at the MAH for an experiment—and a sleepover BY GEORGIA PERRY
I
arrived at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History last Wednesday afternoon, carrying a sleeping bag and the cushion from the bright orange loveseat I scored for free on Craigslist last year. Along with several museum professionals and artists from around the world, I was going to be spending the night at the museum as part of Hack the Museum Camp, the brainchild of Nina Simon, executive director of the MAH who describes it thus: “What happens when you give 75 people 48 hours
to make an exhibit that challenges museum convention?” The plan was to work in teams of four or five to create exhibits around artifacts from the museum’s permanent collection that are not currently on display. This is the first time Simon has ever tried anything like this, and despite her reputation for risk-taking, she was well aware of the stakes. “This is creative risk for everyone. We’re giving you our biggest gallery, and whatever you guys make is going to be up for six weeks,” she told the campers.
On Wednesday afternoon, they participated in a white elephant game to choose which artifacts they would be working with. And they were not afraid to boo when they did not like what they saw. Delighted “oohs” and “aahs” had been emerging from campers’ lips for a while, as teams chose sealed boxes and then opened them to reveal descriptions of things like the first-ever baseball pitching machine, a gravestone and 1960’s Boardwalk tickets. But then one team picked a box with a printout
of an oil painting inside. The entire group of 75 collectively booed. They did not come here to hang oil paintings on walls. All told, three groups wound up with paintings and most of the other twelve groups got 3D art objects or historical artifacts. Sarah Margerum of Boston, whose group got a painting of William F. Cooper, Santa Cruz’s first mayor, sat cross-legged on the ground staring into the portrait’s eyes for 10 solid minutes that first night. I caught up with her at around 9pm, but after three hours of brainstorming, her group was still stumped on how to best display Mr. Mayor. “I think honestly museums haven’t really mastered how to help people look at portraits in a traditional way,” said Margerum. “I don’t think they’re that good at the inside of the box way. I think what I’m struggling with is how can I do it really well inside the box and then go beyond that.” Her teammate, Lauren Paullin from Richmond, Virginia added, “it’s hard to imagine something you’ve never experienced.” They had fair points. Many of the other groups with less traditional artifacts already had a ton of ideas. The group that got a stack of 1960s roller coaster tickets had zeroed in on their thesis and skipped off to the Boardwalk to ride the Giant Dipper for themselves, recording the sound of the creaking wooden ride, plus their screaming, to use in their exhibit. Back at the MAH, they sat around a table planning the big red stripes they were going to paint on the wall behind their exhibit. “We can give ourselves permission to be more garish than other people. Which is exciting. Because I love garish,” said Joel Parsons, who is from Memphis, Tennessee.

Currents | MUSEUM NIGHT Rules of Engagement At the end of day one, each group had picked a space in the museum’s second floor gallery and committed to having something show-worthy in time for the exhibit’s soft opening on Friday night, in just a day and a half. While some campers made their way back to hotels, many of the younger campers opted to sleep over in the museum to save money. I spent the evening meandering about chatting with people, and in typical reporter fashion, blatantly eavesdropping. On the stage, MAH staff had set up a tent with an iPad in which people could record confessional-style experiences about their time at Museum Camp. Around 11:30pm on that first night, two young women commandeered it for a good half hour, giggling about who was “cute and not married.” Upstairs in the outdoor sculpture garden a group of campers—two from Philadelphia and one from North Carolina—talked about how to make people care about museums. If only they could engage adults the way that little kids are passionately engaged in memorizing dinosaur facts, they mused over paper cups of red wine. Eventually, I made my way downstairs and crawled into a corner in an otherwise empty room housing an exhibit on the Soquel baseball team. I lied down on my couch cushion and listened to the sounds of the other campers echoing through the museum. I heard laughter from the group up on the sculpture garden, and the noise of something falling and hitting the floor. Unlike sleeping alone in a deserted museum, which I can imagine would be a kind of otherworldly and creepy, this just kind of felt like crashing out on a friend’s floor after a house party. I suppose a couch cushion in the corner of an exhibit room isn’t that much weirder than the time my high school friend Zach curled up under a kitchen floor mat to sleep off his New Years’ Eve buzz.

Beyond the Box By afternoon the next day, the campers were ready to prototype. They’d set up the framework of their exhibits with cardboard, paper and painters’ tape, and the ground in the exhibit room was covered in scraps of paper and supplies. One team was soliciting answers to the prompt, “what’s the most painful thing you’ve done for beauty?” with PostIt notes. The team with the portrait of Mayor Cooper had spent the day on the street with the portrait, asking passersby to share their reactions. They recorded audio they were planning on using as a way of bringing Cooper into the 21st century streets of his town. And the roller coaster ticket group had stripped things down significantly, hoping to provide a space that, compared to the rest of the room, would be “conspicuously clean and clear” to provide an opportunity for reflection, said Parsons. Rather than garish red stripes, they opted instead for a simple text headline that reads, “Will You Remember This?” They’ll be giving everyone who enters the exhibit a hand-drawn ticket and the option to either throw it away or keep it, challenging them to think about experiences—including this one—in a new way. “Will you keep this as a memento? Is it a memory thing? Is this valuable to you, and why are we making these decisions?” he asks. Elizabeth Spavento, whose group explored questions about beauty in their exhibit centering around a historic Miss California scepter, said the overall experience of Hack the Museum camp was unlike anything she’s experienced in her museum career. “I’m used to working with people that are like, ‘Oh that’ll never work,’ or ‘That’ll never pass code,’” she says. “So it’s nice to hear, ‘Wow, I’m listening to your idea. And I like it.’” The Hack the Museum exhibit will open July 19 during the 3rd Friday event at the MAH, and run through Aug. 18.

Getting Salty As the clock ticks down and time runs out, local residents are sounding off on what they think of the Environmental Impact Report for Santa Cruz’s controversial desalination plant proposal. The comment period for the draft ends August 12. Supporters and opponents are weighing sacrifices that would have to be made in areas like the Soquel Creek Water District if no plant gets built. “Health facilities cannot be expected to reduce water use by 35 percent,” one Soquel resident said at a July 1 meeting. “If anything, state health requirements are driving up water use in the health system with mandates that nurses and other health professionals wash their hands frequently with water, not alcohol.” The statement is the top comment on Civinomics.com, which posted all comments from the meeting and allows site visitors to up-vote ones they like and down-vote ones they don’t. Meanwhile, Rick Longinotti and leaders of Santa Cruz Desal Alternatives are pressing the city of Santa Cruz to take conservation and water swapping with Soquel more seriously. To submit a comment and read the draft, visit scwd2.org.
Bike Crash The fight over a city bike program that Santa Cruz Weekly first reported on last year has taken a turn for the worse, as an argument over who should be giving kids bikes has led to no kids getting bikes at all. If you’ll remember, the Santa Cruz Police Department had Bike Church volunteers up in arms last September when activists discovered the cops had taken the bike distribution program away from them, and moved it to the Bike Dojo without telling them. People Power sent some firmly worded emails about the change, as the Weekly reported last fall— followed by apology letters from
former People Power director Micah Posner, current director Amelia Conlen and mechanic Steve Schnaar. Now the program, which shares bikes with kids, is on hold while the city figures out what to do with it. Posner, now a city councilmember, and Scnhaar have noted the Bike Dojo is not nonprofit like the Bike Church. That would appear to put the Dojo’s bikesharing program in violation of ordinance 2.24.120. The Dojo’s Rob Mylls says Posner has a conflict of interest because he’s a longtime supporter of the Bike Church. SCPD has given several reasons that they originally took the distribution away from the Bike Church, including that the nonprofit wasn’t licensing bikes. Captain Steve Clark also recently told Good Times that Bike Church staff had been rude to officers. The Bike Church had shared bikes with groups like Barrios Unidos, Greenways to School and Western Service Workers Association. At a Tuesday city council meeting, Schnaar said that according to the Bike Church’s records, they had distributed 415 bikes since 2008. Dojo owners are pretty sure they gave away over 150 bikes over the past year, but they didn’t keep track. Mylls told us last fall the Dojo would love to share their bikes with the Bike Church, but no collaboration ever came together. City Manager Martín Bernal said at the July 9 meeting that the city will issue a request for proposals to restart the program. However, Paul Howell, who co-owns the Dojo with Mylls, says the Dojo won’t continue taking part in the distributions because it got so much animosity from activists. At this point, the question seems obvious: Can’t we all just get these kids bikes? “We’re definitely not building any bridges right now,” Bike Church mechanic Josh Muir said at Tuesday’s meeting. “It’s obvious that organizations like the Bike Church and the Bike Dojo probably have a lot in common. And we certainly want to see positive things happen in the community.”0

Against the Grain
FLOURING BUSINESS Ryan Roseman farms in Aromas, and sells his flour to Gabriella Café and Companion Bakery in Santa Cruz.
Why iconoclastic local farmer Ryan Roseman is sowing his seeds on the ‘final frontier’ of the eat-local movement BY JACOB PIERCE
R
yan Roseman is driving his silver 1997 Toyota Rav4 from the Westside to his farm in Aromas. Resting his hands casually on the top of his steering wheel, he talks about Santa Cruz’s market for grains and beans. “It’s the final frontier of the local foods movement,” Roseman says. “We started with vegetables and fruit. People are moving into dairy and cheese. Grains and beans are the last aspect we have to figure out how to tackle on a regional scale.” Roseman, a native Santa Cruzan with curly strawberry-blond hair, farms in Aromas on land owned by longtime farmer Dale Coke. He also markets Coke’s flour—milled, locally harvested wheat—and sells it to Gabriella Café and Companion
Bakery for an all-local loaf. Coke doubles as a mentor for Roseman, giving him tips on his crops and irrigation, although Roseman says one of the benefits of grains and beans is they don’t take up much water. Roseman pictures “a more regional economy and one that’s not so dependent on governing or manufacturing or farming, one that’s more focused locally. Food is a big part of that.” He learned about food from a young age. His dad Scott Roseman founded New Leaf grocery stores, although the Harbor High grad doesn’t advertise the connection. Now, Roseman is carving out a niche by harvesting grains and beans—foods few people in Santa Cruz are supplying. The real thrill for him comes from
listening to people tell him he’s crazy, that no one can grow grains and beans on a small scale. It’s true that large agricultural companies, many in the Midwest, dominate the food landscape for grains. Much of the conventional equipment designed to harvest grain is so heavy and expensive it wouldn’t make sense for a small farmer like Roseman to buy it for his few acres of land. That means adapting and getting creative. Take for instance, the quinoa Roseman is growing. Post-harvest, the grain is covered in soapy slime called saponin, and big ag companies use big machines to remove it. Roseman is still wondering how he’s going to get saponin off his Shelly Black, golden and red quinoa when it comes time to harvest.

LEGUME WORK Roseman also grows quinoa, a couple strands of amaranth, two kinds of lentils and several kinds of beans. “That’s something I have to figure out when it’s ready,” he says. “I don’t know. Throw it in the wash, and then throw it in the dryer. That’s my plan so far.” However he manages to remove the bitter taste, quinoa is one of the foods that excites Roseman the most. It’s a complete protein, and the plant, technically a weed, grows very well in Santa Cruz. Much of the nation’s supply of quinoa is currently grown in Bolivia, where the farmers toiling to harvest it can no longer afford to eat the expensive crop due to soaring prices. Roseman also grows a couple strands of amaranth, two kinds of lentils and several kinds of beans— including Vermont cranberries, which are similar to pinto beans—in one half-acre Aromas plot shielded by a cypress tree wall for a windbreak. They’ll be available soon, in addition to the flour he’s selling. Paul Cocking, owner of Gabriella Café, is sold on the young farmer and Coke’s tasty, low-gluten, high-protein flour. The customers are, too. “Good kid. The flour is great,” Cocking says. “We make focaccia here
which is typically white flour, but we’re mixing it 50-50 with [Dale and] Ryan’s wheat, and the customers love it.” At 24 years old, Roseman hasn’t been wasting any time. He went away to college in Oregon, and learned about farming when he studied abroad in Mexico for a year. He interned at the UCSC farm, and worked for Pie Ranch in Pescadero, where he got the nickname “Gopher Face Killer” for his skill in setting gopher traps. One thing he says he might have to give up is the dream of farming on his own land, but he’s okay with that. It just means sharing space and the fruits of his labor. “The more I looked at actually, realistically farming in this area, the more I had to come to terms with [the fact that] I will probably never be able to afford a decent amount of land to farm,” he says. “I’ve made peace with that. It can lead to more collaboration because you get to interact with a lot of different farmers, and it can be more of a community project.” 0

WE COULD TEACH YOU BUT WE’D HAVE TO CHARGE Kat Piculell shows off one of Saturn Café’s milkshakes, which were recently named among the best in the country.
Shake It Santa Cruz milkshakes are getting national recognition. Here’s why they’re the best BY AARON CARNES
S
ince Santa Cruz is fast becoming known as an ice cream mecca, it might follow that our shakes are also the best around. And indeed, it does. In fact, Business Insider recently named Saturn Café’s milkshakes as one of the 17 best in the entire country—and that’s a hell of a lot of competition. Indeed, Saturn has some good shakes. The formula is simple: McConnell’s ice cream (vanilla bean,
Dutch chocolate or mint chip) and with a choice of add-ins (cookie crumbs, organic peanut butter, berries or organic banana), and there you have it. Milkshake paradise. They also offer vegan shakes, if dairy’s not your thing. Ernesto Quintero, co-owner of Saturn, knows his shakes are tops. “It’s a combination of factors,” he says. “We use a super premium

BREWED BREW WED IN EUGENE, OR
WAITING FOR A SUPERFRUIT Emma Jacobson of Samba Rock Acai Café on Water Street with one of the bowls that are all the rage.
Bowled Over The acai craze is sweeping Santa Cruz BY AARON CARNES
F
or such a small city, Santa Cruz has an unusually large number of options for finding a good acai bowl. Several restaurants and stores carry them here, unlike most cities, but ironically a lot of locals still don’t known what they are. So, what exactly is an acai bowl? Most people by now are familiar with the acai berry, a small fruit found in South America that’s become something of a food trend in the U.S. over the past decade. Properly pronounced “ah-sigh-ee,” it’s been hailed as some kind of superfruit, with more antioxidants
than blueberries. Health food stores and websites all over claim it has all sorts of crazy health benefits, some of which are probably true, most of which are probably extreme exaggeration. None of that would matter if acai berries didn’t taste good. The flavor falls somewhere between a raspberry and blackberry, with a hint of dark chocolate—that is, when sweetened. On their own, acai berries are too bitter to eat. While acai berries have been all the rage in Brazil for quite a while, acai bowls gained popularity there in the

’90s. They are like acai smoothies that are served in a bowl with different sliced fruits and granola served on top, and eaten with a spoon like yogurt. It’s simple, filling, energizing and very delicious. Acai bowls first found their way to Santa Cruz about a decade ago via Café Brasil on Mission Street, which serves a variety of authentic Brazilian foods in a casual café setting. Back then, they even had little leaflets on the tables explaining exactly what acai berries (and bowls) were, since they were still mostly unknown in the state. Today they are one of the most popular items on the menu. Café Brasil manager Natasha Malia, herself Brazilian, told me that nearly a third of their sales come from acai bowls.
The acai base at Café Brasil is almost juice-like, and is sweetened with guarana syrup and other fruit juices. It’s served with slices of strawberries, bananas and granola. They can be bought in a regular size ($6.75) and a smaller size ($4.75) “They’re really popular. People are addicted to them. But they’re good for you too,” Malia told me. I’m not exactly sure when things changed for acai bowls in Santa Cruz, but now they’re everywhere here. The other main spot for acai bowls is the Samba Rock Acai Café on Water Street, which opened about three years ago. It’s a fullfledged acai bar, much like a Jamba Juice, but everything has acai in it. Half of the menu is acai bowls, and the other half is acai smoothies. They also serve Yerba Matte tea, keeping things particularly Brazilian. They offer 10 different variations on acai bowls. You can get such toppings as strawberries, mango, avocado, blueberries, pineapple and chocolate waffle rolls. I decided to try the highly recommended “Airton Senne,” which has peanut butter blended into the acai base. It’s topped with strawberries, banana slices, granola and guarana powder. The acai base has more of a thick smoothie texture than the juicy quality at Café Brasil. They offer three sizes at Samba Rock: mini ($3.30-3.90), regular ($6.75-7.75) and large ($7.99-9.50). I had a mini, and it was plenty filling for a snack. Acai bowls can be found at the café at UCSC, in New Leaf grocery stores and at several other restaurants. I didn’t have time to track down every acai bowl in Santa Cruz, so I tried one more place, Conscientious Creations Café on Soquel Ave. This is a nice little café whose focus is just fresh, organic food. The acai bowl ($7) isn’t even a highlight of the menu, just one item of many found there, but they do it well nonetheless. Their acai base was smooth and more yogurt-like than the other two places. They kept it simple with just banana slices and granola. Even after eating three acai bowls, it was still good. A fine place to seek out, if this current acai craze gets a hold of you. 0

RAISE A GLASS Jessica Dunegan with one of Seabright Brewery’s summer offerings.
Summer of Suds Local brewmeisters pick their star offerings for the season BY CHRISTINA WATERS
T
he builders of the pyramids were paid in it. Winning football coaches are bathed with it. Spicy food would be unthinkable without it. Beer—a drink whose season is, without question, summer. Summer without a cold beer is almost as bland as winter without a roaring fire, or autumn without a Frank Sinatra song. You get my drift. Beer is quaffable all year ’round, to be sure, but somehow that light alcohol, pungent flavor of fermented
grains and hops seems absolutely made for quenching summertime thirsts. Think barbecue. Think poolside. Think baseball. Yes, some moments—especially summertime ones— were made for a tall, cold beer. And here in the Santa Cruz area we not only have supermarkets filled to overflowing with decently made beers from all over the world, we've got handmade microbrews from our very own local brewmasters. What's on tap for the summer of 2013?
21 Life and Whole Foods. “We only do ales,” Barker explains, “since keeping different yeast strains separate can be difficult.” Barker believes that the brewery's IPA is considered the most exciting product. “IPA has got movement in the industry, people like the flavor—it’s the trend beer right now and it delivers more bang for the buck.” The European model of taproom is to drink at your neighborhood pub, he reminds me. “It's about drinking locally.” Which means there is plenty of room for the fine handmade brews in our coastal beer-drinking community. Discretion Brewing is a fourmonth-old operation specializing in handcrafted organic specialty beers, with a taproom and outdoor beer garden open daily 11:30am-9pm. “We just put on a new IPA called Free Day,” I'm told by taproom rep Clinton Shaver. “It's a lighter offering, 5.7 percent alcohol, and we feel that this one can be consumed freely and yet with some discretion,” he chuckles. New entries in the brewery's Conversation series inspired by Belgian-style beers are now ready for sampling. The first Conversation saison is light, summery, “great for hot days and a refreshing 5% alcohol,” Shaver notes. Another Belgianinspired brew is still fermenting and should be available by the time you read this. “Our taproom has an outdoor patio where dogs are very welcome.” In addition to the limited edition beers made by master brewer Michael Demers, Discretion’s inviting taproom offers designer pub food from Main St. Garden Cafe.
Discretion Brewing 2703 41st Ave., Soquel (across from Best Buy). 11:30am-9pm daily. Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing 402 Ingalls St., Santa Cruz 11:30am-10pm daily. Santa Cruz Aleworks 150 Dubois St., Ste E, Santa Cruz. 11am-6pm daily Want more beer? Make plans for the California Beer Festival, returning to Aptos Village Park on Saturday, August 10, 12:305pm. It’s food, fun, sun, music and 70 craft beers on tap.

“Casino IPA,” Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing taproom manager Nicole Todd tells me, “is one of our new brews, originally made for the Boardwalk with lots of vintage images on the label.” Back on tap this summer is SCMB’s popular Olallieberry Cream Ale. Does it really taste like berries, I ask? “Oh yeah,” Todd assures me. “We add 70 pounds of fresh olallieberries to each batch. People come in year-round asking when we'll be having it.” This summer brings Pepé’s Lavender IPA back to the Westside organic taproom, made with fresh lavender from Boulder Creek's Camp Joy. The organic brews from SCMB are nothing if not local and seasonal. Todd admits that “the IPA (India Pale Ale) is the most popular. America is on an IPA kick,” Todd believes. “It has higher alcohol and more hops, bigger flavor.” At 7 percent alcohol, IPA comes close to some of the light European wines, such as 9 percent Vinho Verde and 11 percent Grüner Veltliner. “Our beers generally range from 5-7 percent alcohol,” says Todd who has been taproom manager at the popular Ingalls Street brewery for the past five years. The beer garden out front has heated patio seating, so while it’s undeniably a great place to wind down a hot afternoon, it’s popular year-round. “We started eight years ago as just a brewery, but people pretty much demanded the tap room.” Now the public hoists SCMB IPAs “all day every day,” which means 11:30am-10pm, seven days, 365. Meanwhile, over at Santa Cruz Aleworks, four “core beers” are on offer year-round: IPA, Hefeweizen, Stout and a new light German Kölsch-style ale, which I’m told by SCA’s Michael Barker is brewed and treated like a lager and weighs in at a summery 5 percent alcohol. SC Aleworks makes an English-style India pale ale—“slightly more bitter” and a West Coast-style pale ale as well. “We've been open six years,” Barker tells me, “and in the last few months we've also become a brewpub, with deli foods and beers available on site every day from 11am-6pm." You can find SC Aleworks beers at 150 Dubois in the Harvey West area, as well as in most local liquor stores, New Leaf, Staff of

THEY SAY IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY It’s not often you see shakes served as a birthday treat, but that’s how good Saturn’s are. ice cream, McConnell’s. Beyond that, we use creative mixes like organic bananas and berries. In terms of training our staff, it’s really a highlight, teaching them how to make an excellent shake.” Saturn Café though isn’t the only local spot that excels at shakes. The excellence started long ago with Marianne’s; its 50-plus-year tenure and selection of over 70 flavors at any one time have made it a local favorite for generations. With classic flavors like horchata, Mexican chocolate, and oatmeal raisin dough, you can get some innovative shakes going if you’re feeling brave. There is also Mission Hill Creamery, which opened its doors in 2010 as the first organic ice cream shop in Santa Cruz, before closing and re-appearing last year, better than ever, on Pacific Avenue. Mission Hill scoopers will make shakes from any of their flavors, allowing for such options as salted carmel, Zinfandel plum sorbet, Verve Turkish coffee and orange creamsicle.
There’s also Penny Ice Creamery, which isn’t just organic, but also make everything from scratch. Their artisan ice cream yields amazing artisan milkshakes. “Just being based on the ice cream, they’re kind of guaranteed to be good,” co-owner Zachary E. Davis says about their shakes. “The special thing about our ice cream that’s different from anybody else in town, we’re actually making ice cream from scratch, which basically means we’re a dairy manufacturing facility, instead of just an ice cream shop.” One of the most popular shakes at Penny is the Verve Espresso Shake, which is a combination of Tahitian Vanilla ice cream and Verve Espresso with no milk needed. The espresso melts the ice cream enough to make it blendable. Another favorite is their caramel shake, which is made with bitter caramel ice cream and then drizzled with their in-house caramel sauce. 0

NONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE MORMONS Although it would be kind of fabulous if they were.
Uncaged Cabrillo Stage’s ‘La Cage aux Folles’ is perfectly timed for post-Prop. 8 world BY LILY STOICHEFF
C
abrillo Stage’s production of La Cage aux Folles, directed and choreographed by Janie Scott, is a grand and glitzy night of musical comedy. La Cage tells the story of Albin and Georges, a middle-aged homosexual couple who run a transvestite nightclub in St. Tropez. Albin, under the name ZaZa, is the star. When Georges’ son from a long-ago fling, Jean-Michel (Curtis Reynolds), announces he will marry the daughter of the conservative leader of the Tradition, Family and Morality party, Jean-Michel insists that his “mother,” Albin, played tenderly by Tony Panighetti, should remain out of sight while the future in-laws are in town. Jean-Michel is convinced they will forbid the wedding should they discover he’s been raised by two fathers. From the opening number, “We Are What We Are,” performed sensationally by Les Cagelles Dangereux, this show has more sparkling glamour and high-kicks than you can shake a feather boa at. The recent Supreme Court decisions knocking down the Defense of Marriage Act and California’s Prop. 8 add a layer of timely cultural significance to the hilarious, sexy story.
Although the play is more than 30 years old, its gay themes feel more relevant than ever. Watching Albin’s heart break as his partner and son assert that he cannot be present to meet Jean-Michel’s fiancée and her parents is wrenching. This sharp betrayal by the two people whom he loves and trusts most is channeled into the showstealing “I Am What I Am,” an anthem for anyone who has ever struggled to be genuine against opposition. Jerry Herman has cleverly wrought his immortal songs to appeal to anyone who perseveres against intolerance at any time. Any couple that has endured decades of both love and hardship can relate to the touching “Song in the Sand.” Every woman who relishes glamming herself up for an evening out could sing “A Little More Mascara,” and the song meant to defend a gay parent, “Look Over There,” applies in many different contexts. The highly skilled and energetic cast translates the themes passionately to create an evening of great entertainment. Cabrillo Stage’s La Cage aux Folles plays through Aug. 18 at the Crocker Theater in Aptos.

DUTCH TREAT Jolie Holland appears with Mark Olson at Don Quixote’s Thursday.
THURSDAY
7/18
JOLIE HOLLAND & MARK OLSON I’m not sure what this evening will entail—duets, song-swapping or a little of both—but I can assure you that Jolie Holland and Mark Olson can bring it. As a founding member of the Jayhawks, Olson helped to drag the alt-country movement from a shadow genre into the omnipresent style that it now is. And Holland, who cofounded the Be Good Tanyas, embodies the multidimensionality of American music, swinging between blues, folk, rock, country and jazz with apparent ease. Need more? Among Holland’s die-hard fans is some dude named Tom Waits. Don Quixote’s; $15 adv/$20 door; 9pm. (Cat Johnson)

CHRIS RENE
NKULEE DUBE
So, for a while there was a flier going around town promising that local favorite and X Factor finalist Chris Rene was going to be playing at “San Lorenza Park” (I’m assuming this is a misspelling of San Lorenzo, unless it has a sister park you all have been keeping from me) as part of the upcoming “Santa Cruz Music Fest.” That’s not the genuine Santa Cruz Music Festival taking place all over downtown Santa Cruz on July 20—no, this flier was for something entirely different that also promised superstar rapper Nas would be headlining. Guess if that’s really happening. Exactly. Far be it from me to comment on the legality of all this, but take my advice and go see Chris at this real show that he actually agreed to play instead. Catalyst; 9pm; $10. (Steve Palopoli)
South Africa's biggest-selling reggae artist Lucky Dube may have died a few years back, but his legacy lives on through his daughter, Nkulee. Her ethno-soul reggae pulse pairs seamlessly with her ecstatic performances, and her Facebook postings shows her spirit with the signoff “Remember U R Loved” and constant affirmations about her own life and encouragements for others. This mindset trickles clearly into her Jah-praising lyrics, powerful vocals and consistent smile. Moe's Alley; $10 adv/$15 door; 9pm. (Melanie Ware)

CRACKER & CAMPER I have to admit I don’t like Camper Van Beethoven’s newest album as much as I did their first reunion album, the amazing New Roman Times. But the standout track “Northern California Girls” on La Costa Perdida is perfect for a beach show on a summer night. They’d probably agree that there’s plenty of irony in this most iconic of weird underground Santa Cruz bands from the ’80s playing the Boardwalk 30 years later, but hey, no more ironic than the fact that they broke out to become possibly Santa Cruz’s most successful band in the first place. Technically, David Lowery’s subsequent alt-hitmaker band Cracker is headlining. It’s always a good time when they play together, and you can bet “Big Dipper” is on the set list. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk; free; 6:30pm & 8:30pm. (SP)

VAUD & THE VILLAINS Does the Vaud and the Villains tagline “19 Piece 1930s New Orleans Orchestra and Cabaret Show” provide a vivid mental picture? Does that picture involve top hats, flapper-esque attire, an accordion, horns and a busload worth of soul? Yes? Then you’re on the right track. No? This might not be the show for you. This Los Angeles band, which has been described as “American Noir meets Moulin Rouge,” is a down and dirty, rougharound-the-edges outfit that dips into the past and pulls out a grabbag of music, style, seduction and irreverence that hits in all the right ways.

RED BARAAT These days, it's not often that you come across a band without guitar, let alone no string instruments at all. Red Baraat is on a whole different level, making their own rules and really their own genre. Sunny Jain leads this eight piece ensemble of horns and percussion that is a hybrid of Indian bhangra and New Orleans big-band music. Their energy is wild and loud as they sing in Hindi and Punjabi, and their shows are packed and full of vibrating dance moves. Kuumbwa; $20 adv/$23 door; 7:30pm. (MW)

DEAD MEADOW
Drawing inspiration from the otherworldly works of J.R.R. Tolkien and H.P. Lovecraft, Dead Meadow makes sweepingly stoney, psychedelic music that hovers in the haze between driving, guitar-driven rock and roll à la Zeppelin or Black Sabbath and trippedout, experimental soundscapes where anything can happen. Hailing from Los Angeles by way of Washington, D.C., the band that’s known for putting on fantastically heavy live shows brings the fun to town on Tuesday. Don Quixote’s; $15 adv/$17 door; 9pm. (CJ)

Once there was a high school skateboarder from Long Beach who played guitar for all his waking hours. Then one day his solo act, Avi Buffalo, turned into a four person band and before you know it Aaron Embry, Elliott Smith's right hand man, asked the group to come hang out at his new studio. Up until this point, with a few positive reviews under their belt, they only had some self-recorded music and hadn't even had an album. Then all of a sudden, they were performing at SXSW and opening for Modest Mouse. With an alternative rock-pop-electric sound and Animal Collective-like love songs, it's no wonder they made their mark so quickly. Rio Theater; $11; 8pm. (MW)

VAMPING IT UP Clara (Gemma Arterton) is a lady of the night in more ways than one in ‘Byzantium.’
Telling A girl grapples with her long past and endless future in ‘Byzantium’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK
C
OMPELLED TO remember, compelled to write and compelled to throw the pages away, the apparently 16-year-old Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan) lives in a beat-up public housing tower in London. She tosses the crumpled pages of her journal into the courtyard: “Maybe the birds will read them.” Her young mother, Clara (Gemma Arterton), gets into a scuffle at the strip club where she works, and this leads to a graphic homicide. Director Neil Jordan demonstrates early on that there will be blood in his film Byzantium. The two women, fugitives, relocate to a peeling seaside resort, where Clara starts up her usual trade in sex work, with a twist. Eleanor remembers, to her shock, that she’s been in this gloomy coastal town
before. Two centuries before. The two get some free shelter: Clara picks up a trick named Noel (played by Daniel Mays, who was the can-do son in Vera Drake). He’s a soft-bellied weeper with a thick five o’clock shadow. Noel’s mother has just died, but he’s inherited a trashed, abandoned hotel. Clara determines to make new use for the Victorian building. Mysterious enforcers track the two ladies down. A last complication—Eleanor meets a pale, sad American boy named Frank (Caleb Landry Jones)—all long red hair and murmurs, he is. He becomes Eleanor’s very first confidant. Byzantium is based on a play by Moira Buffini titled A Vampire Story. In the original, it was possible Eleanor’s story was just a young troubled girl’s delusion. Still, Buffini’s title makes blunt
what Jordan makes smooth: the early reveal that these two immortals live off of blood. They harvest it with the help of a supernatural trick—a thumbnail that grows into a lancet. The Gothic past and the rancid present are knitted by a tune called “The Orphan’s Song” but better known as the Coventry Carol. Jordan watches the action with slow, repeated pans over the seaside, under the so-called daylight of the off-season. This has-been resort has two piers, one burnt and derelict, the other with a stiff, cold and too-quiet café, where Frank works. This extremely elegant fantasy has roots in a plausible situation: maybe vampires don’t exist, but there has been a child or two raised by a wolf, or a drinker, or a drugger, or someone who uses them in bed. Eleanor’s problem is a common one—how do such children
get their experience into words, get past the shame? Who will believe them? But there’s a less believable conspiracy backstory, no matter how beautifully visualized it is in a misty hidden island that gushes red cataracts, or with a villain (Jonny Lee Miller) from King George IV’s day, so poxed by syphilis that it looks like he’s encrusted with barnacles. Clara never comes to life for us the way Eleanor does; the film seems shaped to appeal to the young-adult audience that believes that adults are basically sordid. Clara knocks her victims over, rapes them really. There’s no pleasure in her hunts or her manipulations of men, as if it would be downgrading her tragedy to find some fun there. The prostitute’s life may be all about powerlessness, yet to daydreamers, it’s a powerful fantasy. What Clara does is considered fair turnabout. Byzantium maybe has some kinship with the kind of movie that argues that those who hire whores deserve to die. Ronan is, naturally, the standout. She’s fresh but warped, a debauched Vermeer, the luminous belladonnapupilled gaze searching out the humans, looking for belief. It’s a strange, gorgeous performance. Count on Jordan (Interview With the Vampire) to find a new angle for an overworked genre; evidence of the freshness is that we have a word for “siring” a vampire, but none for a woman initiating one. Damming? Byzantium is a full-throated feminist movie, and that’s laudable; maybe an open ending would have served the story better than a happy one, but that again may be the young-adult prejudices catered to in an otherwise bizarre and fascinating tale.

than just a big moneymaker. It also bubbled up from nowhere on the cultural radar, with fans watching it over and over with the same kind of passion normally reserved for a Nolan Batman flick. The main characters—Steve Carell as former supervillain Gru, Miranda Cosgrove as Margo, Russell Brand as Dr. Nefario, etc.—are all back in this story of what happens when world leaders call upon Gru’s expertise to defeat a new villain. FILL THE VOID (PG; 90 min) Israel’s submission to this year’s Oscar race, this quiet drama tells the story of a teenager in the ultra-orthodox Hasidic community who is pressured into marrying her sister’s husband after her death. Hilarity ensues! Not really. GROWN UPS 2 (PG-13; 102 min.) Apparently, this is Adam Sandler’s first sequel. I guess we can be thankful it’s not Jack and Jill 2, but c’mon, a Wedding Singer sequel was out of the question? Even Happy Gilmore 2 seems like a better bet, but whatever. Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade return as the other grown ups, who have moved back to their hometown. A HIJACKING (R; 99 min) Danish thriller has a cargo ship hijacked by Somali pirates. The CEO of the shipping company decides to handle negotiations with them himself, because how could that go wrong, right? Rather than a Hollywood action-fest (which the upcoming, similarly themed film with Tom Hanks will no doubt be), this is an ultra-realistic look at piracy— even the boat the film centers around is one that was really captured by Somali pirates. I’M SO EXCITED (R; 90 min) Almodovar’s latest reunites him with Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas, this time in a comedy about a plane that seems doomed to go down, and how everyone aboard (and on the ground) attempts to deal with it. THE KINGS OF SUMMER (R; 93 min) Quirky comedy has three teenage friends deciding to go off the grid and live for a summer in a house they build in the woods. THE LONE RANGER (PG-13; 149 min.) Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Gore Verbinski and star Johnny Depp reunite, because apparently that series just didn’t get pointless and stupid enough for them. Surely this
adaptation featuring America’s most famous cowboy character, originally launched on 1930s radio, will take care of that. Johnny Depp stars as Tonto, while little-known Armie Hammer has to play second fiddle even though his character’s name is the title of the movie. The plot is about stuff, which blows up. MAN OF STEEL (PG13; 116 min.) Director Zack Snyder was accused by many of botching his Watchmen adaptation, but somehow he still managed to get himself put in charge of reviving the most troubled superhero franchise this side of The Hulk. Can new cape star Henry Cavill lead a rebound from Superman Returns, with this story that vaguely combines the original Superman (origin story) with Superman II? Zod is back, baby! MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (G; 110 min) When people talk about the greatest Pixar movies, Monsters Inc. never seems to get mentioned. And yet, it is awesome. Why Cars got a sequel before Sulley and Mike is anyone’s guess, but at least it’s here now. Technically, it’s a prequel, with John Goodman and Billy Crystal returning to tell the story of how the pair got into the scare business. PACIFIC RIM (PG-13; 131 min) Guillermo Del Toro, best known for flipping easily between dark, personal films like Pan’s Labryinth and offbeat crowd-pleasers like Hellboy, goes for broke with his biggest film ever, a battlingrobot movie with more soul than Transformers. Actually, it combines the Japanese Kaiju genre (monster attack movies of which the Godzilla series is the most famous) and mecha (robot-centric) genres: this time, when the sea monsters (appropriately called “kaiju” here) come, humans beat them back with giant robots. THIS IS THE END (R; 112 min.) For this follow-up to Superbad and Pineapple Express (and Green Hornet?), Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen got their friends to star as themselves in a comedy about what people who party at James Franco’s house would do in the apocalypse. TURBO (PG) It’s hard to imagine some executive at Dreamworks didn’t say “I want Ratatouille meets Cars!” when they came up with this story of a snail who dreams of competing in the Indy 500. Guess if he does!

SO LOCAL, THEY HAD TO PUT IT IN THE NAME Zane Griffin runs Santa Cruz Local Foods.
Zane Griffin
Owner-operator, Santa Cruz Local Foods
I
n addition to working for Companion Bake Shop and Crystal Creek Farm, Zane Griffin owns Santa Cruz Local Foods. SCLF assembles food boxes, which can be ordered online, and recently introduced donation-based sliding scales for certain boxes to accommodate low-income customers.
What did you envision when you took over? I didn’t want people to work for me or under me, but for Santa Cruz Local Foods. I wanted to work for a cause. What’s your favorite fruit? Live Earth Farm had their first Blenheim apricot in five years. They’ve had crop failures these past few years— apricots are really tricky around here because of the coastal climate. They’re pretty out of this world, these apricots, and they’re happening right now. And there’s a really short window for them, just two or three weeks. So, I’m really encouraging my [customers] to preserve them— making jams or jellies or just preserves. They’re like candy. Some of the peaches that come later on in the summer are the best. Would you rather walk up and down Front Street with your face covered in preserves or have lettuce in your shoes for a week?
Up and down Front Street happily with preserves, especially the ones we sell because they’re so good. Although I wouldn’t want to waste any food. Do you spend a lot of time on the computer? You have to constantly stay on top of what is available and connecting with the producers. You’re writing a lot of emails and making a lot of calls directly to the farmers, because customers are getting foods. It’s harvested to order. You really have to know what’s available to list it. What’s the least healthy thing you eat? Some of the pastries at Companion. There’s a lot of butter and milk in those, but you need those things, too. It depends. I eat meat as well. I eat locally produced meat that’s really good and really beneficial to your health in a lot of ways. I’m a sucker for donuts. I haven’t seen a local, organic, natural donut shop pop up. Maybe that’s an idea. Can the organic food movement sometimes be exclusionary?
Absolutely. There’s less access to local organic food for low-income people, especially in urban areas. It’s important for the larger agencies— the USDA and the FDA—to continue to recognize organic producers as something that’s very valuable to poor communities and the health of those communities.—Jacob Pierce
