For an evening, royalty and lords would act like peasants while one peasant was charged with overseeing the drunken feast. Shakespeare imbued the raucous, wild spirit of this festival into his comedy of mistaken identity. To pay tribute to this good-natured debauchery, Jason Hussa, Brandy’s husband, will play the Fool. He has learned to play the mandolin for the role and has composed original music for the performance. With Mick Alderman on lighting design and Cindy Karr in charge of props, the Coaster Theatre’s “Twelfth Nightâ€? is set amid its traditional revelry. A collaborative effort on costuming has pieces pulled from the Coaster’s own collection as well as on loan from the theater departments of Clackamas Community College, Portland State University and the Portland Opera. Maybe it is because he is so often canonized, but it is easy to forget that the Bard was rather ribald. Hull, who is playing Sir Toby, has not let this fact slip by him. “It’s not every time that I am on stage that I get a chance to fart and belch.â€? Even as they have their fun, there is one thing that both the actors and director are deadly serious about. “You stick to the script,â€? Hull said.

Five years ago, she staged an outdoor production of “Much Ado About Nothingâ€? in a Cannon Beach garden owned by Mayor Mike Morgan and his wife, Beth Holland, a landscape architect and gardener. The current cast is made up almost entirely of Coaster Theatre regulars, some of whom are seasoned Shakespearean players, while others are novices. Richard Bowman, who plays Sebastian, has been with the Coaster Theatre for seven years, but is new to the world of Shakespeare. He appreciates his character Sebastian’s ability to intervene and cause chaos in the lives of those around him but admits that learning the Bard’s lush language was a challenge. “You have to understand the language,â€? he said. Luckily, Taylor “is an excellent teacher.â€? With so many lines needing to be spilled onstage, the pace of play is naturally quickened by the weight of the language, which lends to the madcap atmosphere of the play. “At the end of the day,â€? said Ryan Hull, who plays Sir Toby Belch, “it’s all about comedic timing. I think you are always working harder in a comedy.â€? Echoing these sentiments, Brandy Hussa, who is playing Viola, added, “I feel, in performing Shakespeare, my greatest responsibility is to understand what I am saying and be able to convey it in a manner which the audience will understand.â€?

And now, I want to speak to you very seriously about something: bone marrow. Prepare yourself now for an homage that rivals Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s, “How do I love thee? Let me count the waysâ€? sonnet. While the overall popularity of bone marrow is rather limited here in the U.S., it is, to me, a gourmet delicacy, and it is gaining popularity again among food enthusiasts. Many other world cuisines embrace bone marrow, and it appears prominently in lots of well-known dishes: Italian ossobuco, Vietnamese pho, and French pot-au-feu.

HOURS: Open from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday through Monday and from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. PRICE: Prices are understandably on the high end, and it makes sense that farm-to-table food costs more to prepare. EntrĂŠe prices top out at $32 for a 12-ounce New York strip steak. While on one hand I can justify the high prices for food of such quality, on the other hand I can still reasonably say that these prices are high for our area and are more than plenty of folks will want to pay. ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant is very small, so reservations are strongly recommended. The space is simple and elegant in a way

side is fully accessible. You are going to feel quite primal when you eat it. I would describe marrow as being buttery and savory, and paired with simple but singular elements like pickled onions and grain mustard, it was utterly fantastic.

While we are on the subject of meat, I was not quite as taken with steak frites, an 8-ounce À DW LURQ VWHDN VHUYHG RYHU IULHV DQG MXV , UH quested that the steak be medium rare, and while I can’t say it came rare instead (meaning that the center would still be cold), it was extremely bloody and not quite seared to my satisfaction, and the fries beneath the steak soaked up the juices.

My second visit was much more positive, and our server quite charming, but the food still takes a while.

that’s becoming synonymous with Northwest style: Edison light bulbs, a sturdy and simple wood bar, and drinks served in copper mugs. SERVICE: Our service was very slow both times we visited. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: I counted four options that would be appropriate for a vegetarian or vegan diet, and an entrÊe that would work for vegetarians, a sweet potato spaetzle with a fried egg. DRINKS: Coffee, San Pellegrino, an impressive list of beer and wine, and a full bar.

What fuels homophobia?

Cannon Beach Gallery opens art show

Public invited to free community talk ASTORIA — The Lower Columbia Diversity Project will present the free community talk “Homophobia and Its Roots in Misogyny� from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5 at the Judge Guy Boyington Building, 857 Commercial St. Clatsop Community College’s Margaret Frimoth, PhD., and Astoria City Councilor Drew Herzig will speak. What does homophobia mean? Why do some people say that they experience confusion, discomfort or fear at the thought of two same-sex people loving each other? What fuels this reaction? How is it related to the systemic devaluation of women in our culture? Frimoth and Herzig will share some of their research, their personal experiences, and the insights they have gained.

“Haunted Astoria” by Jefferson Davis Norsemen Ventures, 2006

“Diary” by Chuck Palahniuk Doubleday, 2003

Plot Notes: Does Capt. George Flavel still inhabit the second-floor bedroom where he died in 1893? What is still locked inside the old jail cells on the first floor of the Clatsop County Heritage Museum? Is Paul, the ghost rumored to haunt the Liberty Theater, a former pimp? Author Jefferson Davis (no, not that Jefferson Davis), with a little help from his friends in the Advanced Ghost Hunters of Seattle-Tacoma (AGHOST), gathers up the ghoulish gossip from a host of witnesses to Astoria’s paranormal past. There’s the visiting nun said to roam the halls of the Rosebriar Inn Bed & Breakfast. And then there’s the Bandage Man: a clothwrapped creature that’s been known to jump into the back of pickup trucks at the intersection of U.S. 26 and Highway 101 just north of Cannon Beach. From Fort Stevens to the Hotel Elliot, Davis offers tales of phantom ships, Victorian visions, and even a furry sea creature named Claude. Take Away: With Halloween just around the corner, October is the perfect month to celebrate the supernatural side of Astoria’s rich history. It should come as no surprise that Astoria, the oldest city west of the Rockies and a town that has completely burned to the ground on more than one occasion, would have accumulated a layer of paranormal dust. Whether skeptic or believer, Davis’ slim volume culls the archives of local newspapers for “spirited” stories, presents firsthand witness accounts relatively objectively and lets loose his buddies in AGHOST at many local haunts. A fun, fast read that would be a welcome addition to any coastal bookshelf.

Modern horror: A spooky and clever mystery from the notorious and cult-adored author of “Fight Club.” Mary used to be an artist. Now she is a waitress who drinks too much. When her husband, Peter, a contractor, falls into a coma following a suicide attempt, whole rooms that he has remodeled on tourist-overrun Waytansea Island begin to disappear.

“Ghost Stories of Oregon” by Susan Smitten Lone Pine Publishing, 2002 Expand your horizons: Once you have finished haunting Astoria, check out the horrific happenings across the rest of the state. Lone Pine also published a volume in the same series on Oregon’s neighbor to the north, “Ghost Stories of Washington” by Barbara Smith. Are you in the middle of a gripping novel?

By RYAN HUME

Googan >‫ޖ‬g gԥn@ noun 1. a disruptive, annoying and often unscrupulous bank fisherman or surfcaster, usually unlicensed, that baitfish without regard for regulation or etiquette; any novice fisherman in the wrong place at the wrong time who does not understand what they are doing and gets in someone else’s way Origin: Entered fishing lingo from pool hall slang in the early 1990s, possibly in Montauk, N.Y. In pool, a googan is an amateur player decked out with professional gear, a square or an obsessive pool nerd. The term has spread far and wide in the fishing community due in part to its constant use by the crew of the Odysea on the television show “Wicked Tuna.”

“‘Can you believe this jerk?’ ‘Looks to me like he’s lookin’ for a head boat.’ ‘Easy fellas, it’s just another Googan.’ A Googan. For those of you that don’t recognize the term ‘Googan’ I will explain. The word Googan (Goog for short) is a particular epigram with an origin that is often attributed to the surfcasters who ply the waters of Montauk Point. This term is used to describe a certain type of physically awkward individual, usually (but not exclusive to) a fisherman. This euphemism is not to be considered complimentary in nature. The designation Goog is often associated with the lack of coordination and experience that would otherwise be necessary to become an accomplished angler. Let’s put it this way, even by the most liberal interpretations, a Goog is to be considered a sorry sort of sod.” —Paul Melnyk, “Montauk Confidential: A Fisherman’s Memoir,” AuthorHouse, 2011
