Starting this week, you can find Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology in the Pacific Sun.

Editor’s note This week, we’re happy to introduce Rob Brezsny, resident of San Rafael and writer of Free Will Astrology, to the Pacific Sun as a weekly contributor. Free Will Astrology is a syndicated column that has appeared in more than 100 publications all over the world for more than 20 years. Brezsny is also the author of the bestselling book Pronoia is the Antitode for Paranoia. Check out his work at freewillastrology.com. Welcome, Rob!

Live and let live It’s not like the teens are not using now [‘Legalization realization,’ Sept. 23]. Mr Sabet is completely wrong on this issue. The best way to control teen use is to legalize. Also adults that do enjoy a causal toke should not be seen as criminals.

These folks do not belong in jail or prison but have the option to enjoy their lives in the best manner they enjoy without nosy people interfering in their lives. Legalize live and let live. —Elelo, via pacificsun.com

It’s complicated Legalization is not a simple matter [‘Legalization realization,’ Sept. 23]. As Kevin Sabet points out, how this issue impacts our youth is critical. The marijuana of today is not the same as 20 years ago—the THC levels are 20 to 30 percent—10 times more potent than when I was in high school. The access is easy and perception of harm is non-existent. Yet, the reality is that marijuana is extremely harmful to a developing teen brain. It changes the brain permanently. My concern is by making marijuana legal we send a huge

message to youth that marijuana is not harmful. Are we willing to pay the cost for this error? It will be substantial. Parents aren’t aware of the harm and impact—making them aware is the responsible thing to do. What a 30-year-old does in their free time is their business, but I care too much about our teens to suggest that legalization is a good thing. As a responsible society let’s do more work around this issue before we make more mistakes. Colorado is not a good example of what to do. More research and regulation is needed before California should consider putting our youth at risk. —Linda Henn, via pacificsun.com

▲ Pope Francis chose to visit New York over Marin, but he needed our divine bread to go with that big apple. Rustic Bakery, based in Marin, provided olive oil and sel gris flatbread and rosemary pan forte crostini for the pontiff and his aides during flights to their U.S. destinations. The organic crostini was baked in a stone hearth oven in downtown Larkspur, while the artisan flatbread came from the Novato location. How in heaven’s name did the Vatican know about Rustic Bakery? The bakery supplies its favorite fares to an airline caterer, which sent the goods to the papal chef. We like to think that the pope noshed on crackers and bread handcrafted in Marin as he discussed the need to curtail climate change and immigration.

It had been another long day. He leaned back too far in the chair, daring Destiny to take him over backward. She didn't, and he smiled having cheated her one last time. He didn't know it, but it wouldn't be his last opportunity to do so before the sun returned from the other side of the world to char him all over again. He stood up and went to the book closet at the opposite end of the room. He opened the stainless steel door and entered the access code. Once inside he closed the door behind him and made his way to the rear compartment. He lifted his hand, palm out and chest high, to feel for the Bio-I.D. pad that would allow him, and only him, to enter the inner chamber where the article of his attention tonight lay on a luminous blue pad. Standing in front of the article a person is quickly taken by the sense of mass it conveys despite its modest size. It is inside of a rectangular box of about 14 inches across and 8 inches deep. The box is made of a metallic material but a closer look reveals it to be made of an almost fleshy metalized film with a fine pore-like texture to it. He has never opened it and most others who know of its existence hope that he never will. It is said to contain the Law, or something like the Law. At first thought, knowing the actual text of the Law would seem to make the meaning of life here on Earth clearer and possibly even purposeful. However, after a long argu-ment, some of the world's greatest thinkers concluded years ago that given human nature, knowledge of the true nature of the Law, no matter what it was, would quickly render life as we have known it, meaningless. Only chaos and suffering could result. Now, after decades of stew-ardship of the Law, he had determined his course of action and tonight and no man or petty tyrant would keep him from his rondesvous with destiny. He closed his eyes and removed the lid, setting it aside. He opened his eyes and squinted at the glare from the article. He reached in with both hands, cradled it in his palms, and lifted it out of the box. Holding it in one hand, he brushed it up and down against his shirt to shine it up a bit before raising it to his face. Opening his mouth slightly and wetting his lips, he placed it between his front teeth and, with a wet crunching sound, bit a noisy tangent through the article and chewed.«6 Sensing a familiar flavor spreading across his tongue he decided that; Yes, sometimes an apple is just an apple..."I have come to this 1The San Rafael Fire Department, whose edge tonight for a reason".

Just like this morning, far from the visual stench of eastbay refineries and gas station lasers, I saw the new comet low in the northeastern sky, pure and alone. It had stolen the sky from lesser stars that for centuries had only too carelessly occupied the spot.

Past the deer-like street folk caught for a moment in my headlights, past dark houses and blinding semi's.

Maybe I'll pull over and rest, if I can just get over this hill. I'm sick and tired of driving. When, after you roll past the detritus of some poor son-of -bitch's bad judg-ment in the fast lane, in the dark, alone with the man, and bleeding to death in red and blue moonbeams, don't you have to wonder if the repo-man from the movie was right when he said that 'the more you drive, the stupider you become'? So how is it now that we're all out here together, dedicated road warriors, driving, jockeying for the whole-shot, and no one is certain where to or where from. Grinding down the sharp edge of our I.Q.'s like the disintegrated retreads we dodge in the lanes. Until I hear different, I'll meet you in the number one lane when I have to, and on the narrow back roads when I can. Out here, far from the lights...

▼ Pray for the welfare of the ocean’s creatures, especially the Pacific leatherback sea turtle. The body of a dead leatherback was discovered off the coast of Marin in the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary by a marine biologist aboard a whale watching boat. Entangled in crab fishing gear, the gentle giant’s neck was encircled in ropes and polystyrene floats. Though the crab season ended in June, equipment is often left behind, threatening the existence of endangered animals, including the rare Pacific leatherback sea turtle. The largest of the seven types of sea turtles, it dives deeper and travels farther than the others. We can help these magnificent beings by reporting sightings and donating to The State of the World’s Sea Turtles. Learn more at seaturtlestatus.org.—Nikki Silverstein

Kaiser Foundation Health Plan recently purchased a 148,000-square-foot office building in San Rafael, one of the two buildings that comprise Marin Commons on Los Gamos Drive.

Economic resurgence Marin benefits from tech push-out

aiser Foundation Health Plan’s purchase of a 148,000-square-foot office building in San Rafael has highlighted the growing interest of companies to move to the North Bay in an effort to acquire more space and avoid the high prices of San Francisco. With a

By Joseph Mayton

$22 million price tag, the purchase may appear high, but Kaiser says it will give them more opportunities to serve the local communities of Marin and Sonoma counties. Judy Coffey, senior vice president and area manager at Kaiser Permanente Marin-Sonoma, says that the new building will “allow us to serve our members

and patients” in the region. The building at 1650 Los Gamos Drive in San Rafael is part of Kaiser’s continued expansion and goals of reaching more patients and clients. “Over the next two years, we’ll be working with the city of San Rafael and our physicians and staff to plan and provide medical services in this

newest medical office building,” Coffey says. Kaiser told the Pacific Sun that the company was in the preliminary stages of development of the space, and would not provide any details on how the health provider will rework and redesign it.

rent per square-foot in San Francisco has nearly doubled in four years, from $34.02 in 2010 to $64.45 presently. In the third quarter of 2000, at the peak of the dot-com bubble, per square-foot commercial rent hit $67.20. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee’s office has pushed forward on initiatives to assist nonprofits to remain in the city, but it is proving difficult. His office says that they are doing “all that we can at the moment to assist the many requests for assistance that are coming in as rent prices soar.” The Kaiser purchase may be the latest big deal to go through in Marin, but another prime location is currently on the market and has already sparked interest from San Francisco investors. The north San Rafael hilltop landmark building at 1 Thorndale Drive is reportedly set to be bought by a commercial investor from San Francisco, although details of the deal are only slowly emerging. It is an interesting time for Marin’s most affluent office space, with some 40 percent changing

ownership in the past three years alone, says San Rafael-based Newmark Cornish & Carey. The North Bay Business Journal reports that 1.8 million square feet has also been sold off in the same time period, “potentially expanding to two million square feet should the pending sales of 1 Thorndale and 100 Wood Hollow in Novato go forward.” According to Marin officials, who were not authorized to speak to the media due to the purchase by Otto Finlay Investments being in escrow for $15.5 million, the deal is expected to be finalized by the end of the year. “It should happen by midDecember if all goes well,” one official with knowledge of the deal says. Marin has experienced an economic resurgence of late, largely as a result of the tech push-out spillover. It is also bringing with that same economic boom middleclass San Franciscans who have been pushed out by soaring rental prices. In many ways it’s a winwin for Marin and the North Bay,

where rents are lower than the big city and allow for companies like Kaiser to draw a workforce from the area. Martin Ghosin, a 29-year-old developer who works three days a week in Santa Clara, says that he left his home closer to work so he could help the company look for office space in Marin. “We are still looking, but we have a number of options and hopefully soon so I can stop commuting those three days, but I will say I have more space and the rent is much less than it would have been if I stayed down south.” For him and others, the move to Marin means warmer weather and larger spaces. And now with the growing influx of companies like Kaiser and investment firms putting large sums of cash toward developing properties, the economic opportunities and jobs on tap are helping to re-establish Marin as a potential alternative to the exorbitant costs of staying in San Francisco and Silicon Valley.✹

With some 70 percent of the building available for lease when Kaiser made the purchase, it should allow the company to manage the space without being forced to evict, if necessary, any current lessees. At present, Genworth Financial and the education nonprofit 10,000 Degrees call 1650 Los Gamos Drive home. It is unclear what will happen to those two entities. This is not the first time that Los Gamos Drive has experienced an expensive turnover. According to Marin County officials, the office building at 1600 Los Gamos Drive was purchased for $28.4 million in 2011 and nearby BioMarin Pharmaceutical purchased the San Rafael Corporate Center for $116.5 million in early 2014. Local reports say that the total cost of the county’s acquisition and improvement of 1600 Los Gamos was $82 million. The vacancy rate for Class A office space—such as at 1650 Los Gamos—was about 20 percent countywide at the end of June. This is good news for many companies who are looking to keep infrastructure costs low, but are struggling to make it work in nearby San Francisco, where both commercial and residential prices have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels in the past few years. The tech boom in Silicon Valley has resulted in the price increases that have disrupted the status quo for many across the Bay Area. Recent exoduses of the Cartoon Art Museum and the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, a stem cell research agency, have highlighted the struggles of nonprofits and businesses alike in maintaining their San Francisco addresses. The Institute had been in San Francisco for a decade, but announced that it was leaving for Oakland following the expiration of its 10-year free rent deal with the city, which expires in November. Spokesman Kevin McCormack says that to rent a comparable space would cost around $1.5 million each year, but in Oakland rent drops by half. He added that when the Institute was looking to relocate, Marin was a contender, but Oakland eventually won out due to proximity to central urban areas.

Robert Scoble: “The Age of Context” (written with Shel Israel)

A YAWN WORTH YELLING

Five years since their formation, San Jose indie-pop outfit, A Yawn Worth Yelling, are enjoying their status as one of the South Bay’s most buzzed-about bands as they prepare to release a new EP. (JE)

ANDREW BIGS

Formerly known as Society of Metafizix, Andrew Bigs’ new moniker serves to highlight his development as an artist. His debut solo project, P.A.S.T. D.U.E. came out December 2013, and he recently dropped a song and video from his forthcoming project, ThinkBigs. “Dollaz” is a meditation on the never ending rat race, informed by the yawning gap between rich and poor in Silicon Valley. (NV)

ANYA AND THE GETDOWN

Moscow-born, Anya Kvitka is a player chanteuse who can draw on R&B, hip-hop, soul or jazz with equal ease, thanks to her international music background and 20 years of classical piano training. She recently signed to Plug Research, the alt-R&B and electronic label that broke Flying Lotus, and current home to Bilal and Milosh. (NV)

BABES

Tender, weird and vaguely vintage, the intimately chilly music of Babes would slide in nicely behind the climactic coming-of-age moments in any melancholy indie movie. Sarah Rayne Leigh’s delicate lead vocals float over the submerged swaying electro-rock and their music videos stand out for their slow-motion strangeness, taking place anywhere from a sex-line office to a infomercial about choreographed bullwhip routines. (JF)

BATTLEHOOCH

loopy electronics.

San Francisco-based Battlehooch play a pop-oriented blend of high-energy, heavygrooving psychedelic rock. They are known for their explosive live performance and their free-flowing incorporation of brass, traditional guitar-bass-and-drums, and

PERFORMERS TWO NIGHTS OF MUSIC By Jay Edgar, John Flynn, Stephen Layton, Nick Veronin

Free, No Ticket Required

BEEJUS

Oakland-based emcee Beejus favors spacey and off kilter beats. You can hear him rapping over “Intro” by The xx and the wild, skittering creations of his longtime friend and producer, Opps. That’s not to say he doesn’t know how to crank out a club banger. Case in point: “Take That,” the MKSMTH-produced ode to lascivious loving. He’s gotten love in his home town—earning spins on 106.1 KMEL—as well as overseas. (NV)

BOOM HUMAN

Not content to just “press play” on tracks, Boom Human accompanies the glitch, broken beats and other novel electronic music he arranges, remixes and plays using the Chapman Stick—a massive, 10-stringed bass, which is played primarily by finger tapping. (NV)

CONTAINHER

Containher is a producer and vocalist spanning and transcending genres of pop, folk, and electronic. Her vocals smack of Debbie Harry, Portishead, and Bjork while her musical palette resonates with the organic warmth of piano and cascading vocals, all bathed in expertly deployed threads of electronic pulse and shimmer. (JF)

CONTINUUM KINGDOM

The San Jose chiptune duo of Glen Walker and Travis Thomas focus not on the usual bleeping and blooping 8-bit video game sounds of the past, but rather combine more complex, 16-bit synths into ambient postrock jams. Think Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis soundtracks, but merged with real instruments into spacey musical explorations. (SL)

CORPSE POSE

Corpse Pose is a multimedia project of Eric Ryszkiewicz that incorporates elements of minimalism and experimental drone into traditional guitar-based music. Live performances feature effects-laden guitar loops, reminiscent of music boxes and player pianos. The resulting soundscapes have been described as “unbearably likeable” and “lush.” (NV)

C2SV.com/tickets CRAIG WHITE

From his polished sound and flow, you’d never guess San Jose rapper and producer Craig White is only 20—but there he is on the chilled-out track, “Nostalgia 95,” referencing his birth-year over a super-smooth R&B sample. He recently dropped his biggest mixtape yet: Summer in Egypt. (SL)

DAVID BU HAU

Riders who participated in the No Pants Bike Party through San Jose this past August, heard DJ David Bu Hau spinning tunes—usually of the groovy disco house or breakbeat variety. He works as part of South Bay collective, Swell Sounds. (SL)

DAVID KNIGHT

Former front man of San Jose band Day One Symphony, David Knight fuses the soulful meditations of his songwriting with a love of cinematic soundscapes and sample-based electronic music. After spending several years living abroad in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Knight has returned to the Bay Area with a new array of songs inspired by his travels. (NV)

DINNERS

Dinners put out their second record, Who is Lee B?, on cassette—an appropriate medium for these fuzzy, lo-fi indie rockers. With drunkenly spiraling guitars and chugging bass lines, once set in motion, Dinners’ rollicking, compact tunes tumble forward, with propulsive energy, until burning out in searing squall of electric guitars. (NV)

DJ COMBSY

Berkeley-born and Richmond-raised DJ Combsy got his start spinning hip-hop tracks at San Jose State’s KSJS and now bumps around the Bay doing the same. He can often be caught with various South Bay hip-hop acts in downtown San Jose. (SL)

DJ MALCOLM LEE

Malcolm Lee is a producer, engineer, DJ, MC, Teacher and social activist. A San Jose native, his passion lies within the science and technical aspects of recording and production. He has done sound design for short films and has produced, recorded and mixed various hip hop and instrumental albums. (NV)

PERFORMERS TWO NIGHTS OF MUSIC This San Jose rapper brings the ruckus. Stomping on propulsive beats, his tweaked bars shine with gleeful punchlines followed by loony ad-libs. Flammy shines when he gets metaphorical, like when he compares his smoothness to lotion. (JF)

GRACE LOVE & THE TRUE LOVES

Grace Love and the True Loves is an original 9-piece soul sensation from Seattle, Wash. On vocals, Grace Love is Seattle’s shining jewel of grit, beauty and power—think Etta James and Betty Wright meet Mahalia Jackson. Backed by the True Loves, her vocals float effortlessly over kickin’ back beats, smart horns, syncopated rhythms and sweet B-3 color. (NV)

GRMLN

Yoodoo Park and company have been floating around the Bay Area for a couple years now, playing Park’s bright, guitar-drenched indie pop. Park and his brother are currently in the process of recording their third LP, a follow-up to last year’s Soon Away on Carpark Records. (SL)

JEAN BAUDIN

Known for his unique, dark, melodic compositions and versatile technique, Jean Baudin is one of the world’s most highly recognizable bass players— known for his phenomenal tapping, slapping and fingerstyle bass playing, as well as his creative use of effect pedals. (NV)

JULIUS PAPP

Julius Papp’s dance music roots lie in the disco of the ’70s and the new wave of the ’80s. Now based in San Francisco, he was born and raised in Montreal, and got tuned into dance music through his home town’s flourishing club scene and diverse radio broadcasts. He started collecting vinyl records in the mid ’70s and has been spinning since 1985. (NV)

LORD SUPERIOR

One of the three greatest calypsonians out of Trinidad and Tobago still performing, Lord Superior is considered by many to be an international treasure. His breezy, lilting island grooves are beloved in Trinidad and throughout the Caribbean, New York City, Canada and London. (NV)

LUCID OPTICS

Lucid Optics is a San Jose-based rapper, singer and producer. With roots in live music, he lays out his psychedelic worldview in a stilted flow over sample-less beats. He wrote lyrics instead of doing homework in high school and went on his first tour in a two-door sedan. He’s your quintessential DIY rap story. (JF)

MITCHELL LUJAN

Born and raised in San Jose, singersongwriter Mitchell Lujan draws influence from old souls and modern R&B artists, but his musical dynamism lands him in the alternative spectrum. Mitchell has performed at numerous local venues, including Slim’s in San Francisco and the SLG Art Boutiki in San Jose. His upcoming EP Subject to Change, is slated for late 2015. (NV)

PAT HULL

Connecticut-born Patt Hull is currently based out of Chico. His lyrically and vocally charged songwriting is “gently reinventing the genre, rather than obeying its exhausted axioms,” according to Deli Magazine. His latest effort, In the Yellow Room, was recorded live and engineered by Peter Rodocker at Yellow Room Recording, in Portland. (NV)

SHERIFF RAMB

Sheriff Ramb is the noise, drone and experimental project of Mason Guerrero, formerly of the synth-pop band Mammals. Compared to his previous work, Ramb says his new work focuses “more on layers, textures of sound and leaving certain aspects of the music completely up to chance.” (NV)

STEELY NASH

Texas-born Steely Nash puts her powerful voice to use on electro-tinged soul jams, where ’60s girl group harmonies abound. She is currently working on her Paper Doll EP and can be found playing shows in SoFA and around the Bay. (SL)

SUENATRON

Brothers Raul and Hernan ‘Mexia’ Hernandez began making music together in order to tell of their experiences as children growing up in San Jose. They have created a fresh, dancible take on cumbia and Norteño-influenced pop. (NV)

SURVIVAL GUIDE

Survival Guide is Emily Whitehurst’s indieelectro pop project. She got her start playing in the well-known Petaluma punk band, Tsunami Bomb. Those early punk days can still be heard in her strong vocals. However, these days now she’s more about fuzzy synths and grinding guitars. Her latest LP, Way to Go was released in May. (SL)

SWEET HAYAH

Emerging from the multicultural and diverse heart of the Silicon Valley, Sweet HayaH is truly a product of its environment. The band originally emerged 2011 and has quickly become as a regular on in the Bay Area scene. (NV)

The roots of this Los Angeles-based trio burrow in post-millennial punk, but their growth incorporates supersonic ’90s rock that first inspired them. The band integrates nuance and dynamic momentum while owning their volcanic riffs, massive melodies and provocative lyrical stances. (JF)

WESTACY

An eight member collective out of San Jose, Westacy consists of Ziggy, RJxV, Thatfool AL, Yates, M.Lawley, C-Note, Mac Bastard and Keylow B. Characterizing the member’s various output is difficult, but the crew mostly traffics in chilled out bottom heavy beats, though the rhymes come thick and fast. Two members, Yates and Ziggy, recently dropped new LPs. (SL)

WOOSHAY

Starting in 2013 with no experience in music at all, this DJ duo started composing EDM and have been making the rounds on the Bay Area club circuit with their bouncy, undulating bass, skittering hi hats, and disembodied wailing vocals. Their skipping synthy sounds opened for Nelly when he came to town. (JF)

X RATED FUNK SQUAD

This quartet unleashes rambling, interstellar jams that meld face-melting solos, shimmying drum N’ bass grooves, and the ambient electric oddness emanating from their “space box.” Soaring from one immersive riff to the next, their compositions tower and sway, bulging with force that rattles your jawbone. May the funk be with you. (JF)

YOUNG GULLY

Young Gully is wide awake. A eyewitness to gang/police violence, he’s not content to rap aimlessly, plumbing deep into his past and innermost emotions to unearth undeniable truths that are as potent as they are seamlessly strung together. Laced with gruff credibility, his flows rollick and buck between expansive, breath-catching hooks. (JF)

ZIGGY

TILL I FALL

San Jose is an unheralded hub of the South Bay sound. Ziggy exemplifies SJ’s gritty prowess, spitting over electric, soul-sampling beats with a streetwise rasp. His flow clicks, clacks then smacks, his distinctive tenor laced with righteous hunger. (JF)

This driving pop-punk trio deals mostly in moody guitar riffs, galloping drums, and the failed romantic angst of lead vocalist/guitarist Brandon Leland that feels like a spirited progression from the early aughts, the golden days of their crossover genre. (JF)

You can find anything from vintage to designer to beach-wedding attire at Larkspur’s What Poppy Wants.

Consignment chic North Bay gems provide year-round fashion By Flora Tsapovsky

ashion lovers are divided into two groups: The secondhand lovers, and the ones who shy away from ‘someone else’s clothes.’ The latter usually go for well-known chains and predictable designer attire, but if you belong to the first group—well, things can get

pretty confusing. Where do you shop in order to score? First, there are endless Goodwills, the go-to for cheap, gently used clothes. These can be hit or miss, and especially good Goodwill branches are usually kept in secret by those in the know. Then, there are vintage stores—think records

hanging on the wall, a corset-clad salesgirl, lots of tulle and polyester. And last but not least, there are consignment stores, ranging from ‘luxury consignment’ to just your average consignment spot, to established chains like Buffalo Exchange and Crossroads.

Pricier than Goodwill and on the contemporary side of things, they often look like unassuming boutiques and may cost you the embarrassment of accidentally mistaking the clothes for new. Unlike cash-and-carry Goodwill, consignment stores can be places where deals are made; many offer store credit or cash for quality clothes you’ll bring in. The selection gets better as real estate prices in the neighborhood escalate, and given the price of real estate in certain

A true Marin County gem, this magical shop is a circus tent and a boudoir rolled into one. Owner Laura McGibben gathered an enviable collection of ’50s and ’60s gowns, elegant hats, vintage jewelry and designer finds, including Yamamoto and Elie Tahari, for a fraction of the original price. On a random visit, a lady was spotted shopping for a beach weddingappropriate dress, and the options were plentiful. Alternatively, there’s a great selection of cowboy boots that McGibben brings from trips to her home state of Montana. 1106 Magnolia Ave., Larkspur; 415/925-1145; whatpoppywants.com.

Mill Valley: Diamonds in the Rough

Point Reyes: Bloom Boutique Point Reyes has cute atmosphere to spare, and Bloom, a two-yearold boutique, fits in perfectly. What singles Bloom out is the crisp, modern feel and the vacation vibes, with Cuban music in the background and smiling owner Diane Phillips behind the counter. “The name of my store, Bloom, was inspired by this beautiful poem by Anais Nin: ‘And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was greater than the risk it took to Bloom,’” says Phillips, who collects clothes from women from Bolinas to Inverness, and often travels to Santa Barbara, where her son goes to school, to bring in chic finds. Due to its coastal location, Bloom has a good selection of coats and boots, as well as elegant dresses and stylish shoes for every occasion. 60 4th St., Point Reyes Station; 415/663-8277.

San Anselmo: Georgi and Willow Truth be told, this is the smarter, more chic and upscale venture by mighty Goodwill—and an interesting social experiment in consumer behavior and branding. While holding onto its nonprofit premise, the corner store is bigger, brighter and better looking than your average Goodwill. Accordingly, the selection is priced at a $20 average and carefully curated with everything from H&M to Trina Turk. Three racks of almost-designer dresses, an excellent shoe selection, enough sweaters and coats to dress a stylish, all-women book club and— gasp—a well-stocked men’s section, make this inviting store a worthy destination for stylish couples and budding fashionistas on a budget. A side note: The styles tend to cater to the younger crowd, as in sheer paneling, bold prints and skyhigh heels. 649 San Anselmo Ave., San Anselmo; 415/721-7917; georgiandwillow.org.

Corte Madera: Swan Dive A local institution of sorts, the

Mill Valley’s Diamonds in the Rough carries contemporary designer clothes at delightfully discounted prices.

cleverly named store promises—and delivers—high-quality designer consignment with Givenchy bags and Burberry trenches on the regular. While owner Jeannie Perry is a well-loved community member, clients rave about store manager Gabrielle Manchester, who functions as a stylist and a friend. “Ultimately, it’s a neighborhood store and we have regulars,” Manchester says. “In consignment, you really do rely on the community for the merchandise, since you can’t go and just buy a collection.” Unlike many consignment stores, Swan Dive maintains active Facebook and Instagram accounts, which inform eager customers about new arrivals. One First St., Corte Madera; 415/927-3033; swandivestyle.com.

Santa Rosa: Paper Dolls Consignment Tucked away in a remote strip mall, Paper Dolls is a tasteful gem and the best consignment store in Santa Rosa by a long shot. Owners Debbie and Laurel McCormick, a mother-and-daughter duo, don’t settle for staples like Talbots and Target. Instead, you can find an occasional esoteric European label, cool shoes by small indie brands and smart jewelry guaranteed to attract compliments. The modern vibe is completed by a website, where the owners gush over new arrivals. 748 Montecito Center, Santa Rosa; 707/539-2727; paperdollsconsignment.com.

“You know how, when you visit a business and the owner is there, you get better service? Well, we’re here all the time,” says Sybil Mayfield, the owner of Diamonds. Mayfield and her husband Zach purchased the store and rebranded it in 2006. The humble location, next to a thrift store, is a fashion magnet. On a random visit, a Chanel suit and a McQueen dress were witnessed, as well as Sam Edelman shoes, designer bags and moderately priced, handpicked basics and accessories that passed Mayfield’s careful selection. “Our style is very modern,” she says.

With a modern feel and a vacation vibe, Bloom Boutique in Point Reyes is a fun place to search for chic fashion.

Northern California counties, you can rest assured that the consignment market here is pretty much unbeatable. I love secondhand, mainly for thrills and giggles, but also for the added value—always expect the unexpected, and if you don’t dwell on the previous life of a skirt or a blouse, you can end up with a very expensive find, having paid a very modest price. Consignment stores, especially in wealthy towns, are delightful treasure chests, and can offer an excellent taste map to the area’s demographic, history and style sensibilities. Equipped with this sentiment and a sharp eye, I set out to find the best stores in Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties. It wasn’t easy, but I imagine that those awesome dresses and handbags that readers will score thanks to this quest will be totally worth it.

The helpful staff is crazy about their work, and it shows. Mitchell Center, 435 Center St., Healdsburg; 707/433-2660.

Petaluma: Red Umbrella Consignment Arguably the best store in the area, Red Umbrella has a number of things going for it: It’s big, bright and spacious, and it always has a number of discounted racks.

Don’t miss the awesome shoe selection! 120 A Kentucky St., Petaluma; 707/778-3499; redumbrellaconsignment.com.

Calistoga: Ella Blu Resale This four-year-old consignment boutique has an upscale, classy feel, and not by accident: “I tell my consignors to bring Banana Republic and up,” says owner Kate Buck. The cozy, multi-room space is situated in an old building on a picturesque street, and indeed contains everything from J.Crew to Nordstrom. Wandering between the rooms is a pleasant treasure hunt. Buck, who calls the store’s style ‘Napa Valley casual,’ wants her customers to feel comfortable, and testifies that customers and loyal consignors come from as far as Sacramento. 1125 Lincoln Ave., Calistoga; 707/942-5600.

Sonoma: SISTERS Consignment Couture Not too far from the bustling Sonoma Plaza, SISTERS always has your back, whether it’s a festive dress you’re looking for, or a casual striped shirt. Owner Chris Johnson named the store with affection to her own sisters, and the shopping experience isn’t unlike browsing a sister’s or a best friend’s closet— exciting, but thanks to the friendly prices, guilt-free. 117 W.

Just like regular braces, they are used to correct many dental problems like crowding, spacing, cross bite, over bite and relapse after braces.

IT’S A TROPICAL OASIS! Farm Burger

San Anselmo’s new Farm Burger has people lining up for 100 percent grass-fed beef.

Bona fide burgers Farm Burger entices

rying to conjure up memories of the longrunning Easy Street Café in San Anselmo’s Red Hill Shopping Center is now nearly impossible. Even after the short-lived Ross Valley Kitchen moved into the space at 882 Sir Francis Drake, the memory of a kid’s corner playhouse, friendly waitstaff and shabby dark carpet and tables still lingered. But now that the Southern-based Farm Burger has ridden into town and completely refurbished the 800-square-foot room in a modern barn-like motif, all vestiges of the longtime tenant are gone. Barely two weeks old, the sixth outpost of this burger-focused restaurant chain that was founded by Jason Mann and George Frangos in Decatur, Georgia, has folks lining up for a seat at one of the two picnic tables, six-seat bar or the smattering of tables indoors and out. With its carefully crafted brand, complete with three large images of grazing bovines, an orange and red cow logo, multiple blackboards and recycled wood everywhere, Farm Burger feels a bit concepted and gimmick-y. However, when it comes to the food—specifically the burgers and sweet potato fries, there is nothing disingenuous about them. As expected, burgers are the stars here. At a price of $7.75, the choice of 100 percent grass-fed beef, chicken, pork or vegan is

By Tanya Henry available and includes a handful of condiments. Additional items can be selected to “build” a custom version with such items as bacon, a fried farm egg, pork belly, Point Reyes blue cheese and more. The add-ons come at a charge of either $1 or $2 each. Pic Walker, one of the local partners and San Rafael resident who has spent most of his career working on issues of sustainability, is thrilled to have the second West Coast outpost (the first is in Berkeley) right here in his backyard. “Part of the ethos here is to be as waste-free as possible,” he says. I tried my first-ever chicken pot pie fritter that amazingly captured the inimitable flavor experience of that favorite Americana classic. A sherry date barbecue sauce accompanied the tasty nuggets, and for a moment I was transported to Grandma’s kitchen. The salads need more attention, though. A heavy tarragon-based dressing couldn’t elevate a seasonal market version. Farm Burger has chosen its Marin locale wisely. Not only will kids flock to the rustic/modern burger joint, but adults will be equally enticed by the handful of reasonably priced wines by the glass and local beer offerings on tap and by the bottle.✹ Farm Burger, 882 Sir Francis Drake Blvd., San Anselmo; 415/785-4802.

Nicole Cushing says that she kept waiting for something disturbing or creepy to happen in ‘The Visit.’

TALKING PICTURES

No payoff Author Nicole Cushing not impressed by ‘The Visit’ By David Templeton

‘I

critics have actually liked, the story of a teenage brother and sister who finally get to visit their grandparents at a remote farm in Pennsylvania— and for some reason videotape everything even when things go a little bit crazy—the occasionally jarring moments of shock and horror are frequently softened by some ridiculous plotting and some characters who are less than convincingly real. “Maybe I’m just jaded,” Cushing says, “but I kept waiting for something to happen that I thought was actually disturbing or creepy. At the very least, I wanted a payoff of some kind. If you are going to give me a second act that is filled with a lot of jump scares and fake outs, then at least give me a powerful payoff in the end.” “This one did scare me, in places,” I confess. “But there were too many moments where I thought it was going to get really good—and then it didn’t.” “I was reading a book by Ray Bradbury yesterday,” Cushing says. “It’s called Zen in the Art of Writing. In it, Bradbury says you really shouldn’t incite a reader’s sentiment toward any emotion without being willing to have that sentiment fulfilled. You shouldn’t tap into

tapping into that kind of nervous fear we sometimes have of elderly strangers. I think he believed he was doing for old people what Jaws did for sharks.” “I only have my own experience,” Cushing says. “I remember my own grandparents, when I was little, and … grandparents are grandparents. Most people aren’t that scared of their own grandparents.” Not that there isn’t a kind of natural fear of aging that some of us experience. Cushing allows that our culture often makes the physical decline of the human body into something to be repulsed by. “I think a good horror movie could do something with that,” she says. “There’s something very freeing about addressing those kinds of fears in our art. It is a very normal, instinctive fear that some people have, especially children. My mother-in-law had a very severe case of arthritis, and I can remember her talking about going to the doctor, and having some little kid there in the office say that she must be a witch, because of her gnarled hands. It hurt her feelings when that happened.” “Do you really think the fear of the old is an instinctive fear?” I ask. “In a lot of cases, yes,” she says. “Some fears are taught. Racism—the fear of other kinds of people—that has to be taught. It’s not natural. It’s not instinctive. But a fear of the elderly is there in human nature. We don’t like seeing the human form changing and appearing to alter itself. By exploring that in our stories, we can find a way to talk about it and understand it. “But not in this case,” she says with a laugh. “This movie is one visit that doesn’t do any good for anyone.”✹

can think of many real-life visits that were more pleasant than M. Night Shyamalan’s The Visit,” says author Nicole Cushing, referring to the notoriously inconsistent horror director’s latest cinematic effort. “The last visit I got from the Jehovah’s Witnesses,” she goes on, “was more pleasant than M. Night Shyamalan’s The Visit. My last visit to the Department of Motor Vehicles was more pleasant than M. Night Shyamalan’s The Visit. My last visit to the dentist was more pleasant than M. Night Shyamalan’s The Visit.” “I think I can infer from this that you did not enjoy The Visit,” I reply. “You’d be right,” she says with a laugh, adding, “I think it pretty much blowed.” Cushing is the author of several short story collections and novellas, and the critically acclaimed new novel Mr. Suicide. A master of creepyour-skin-off horror, Cushing knows her way around scary scenarios, and isn’t afraid to take readers into dark corners of their own pattered psyches. In Mr. Suicide, she takes them a bit further than usual in the tale of a damaged child who does very bad things. It has been called one of those most disturbing horror novels to arrive in years. As for The Visit, which some

your audience’s sense of dread or sadness unless you are prepared to follow through and give them something to be frightened of, or a really good reason to cry. I think, in The Visit, the big plot twist at the end didn’t do it for me. There were suggestions of something far more interesting going on, but M. Night Shyamalan didn’t follow through and take us there, after dangling some interesting possibilities. “As someone who loves disturbing stories,” she says, “it just didn’t work for me.” “Was there anything about it that you did think worked?” I ask. “There were a couple of moments that hinted at the possibility that something really special might be going on,” Cushing says. “As the film progresses, and as the situation becomes more and more clear, the actual setting of the story becomes literally more clear. When we first come onto the farm, it’s covered in snow, and there’s a thick mist all around. Then, as the story progresses, the mist gradually dissipates and the snow begins to melt—which is, I think, a kind of interesting metaphor for the truth of the situation being revealed.” Cushing also thought that there were interesting things being done with mirror imagery. “When the girl, who we learn does not like to look at herself in the mirror, becomes involved in an act of violence in which a mirror plays a part, I thought that was maybe building toward something kind of profound. I would have liked that, but it didn’t pay off. Instead, we just had these endlessly annoying kids, who I would have wanted to kill myself if I were locked in a farmhouse with them.” “M. Night clearly thought that scenes filled with old people acting weird would incite some sort of primal fear of old people, or the inevitability of aging and death, or the unpredictability of Alzheimer’s,” I point out. “Is that a bad idea for a horror film?” “Old people acting weird isn’t really that terrifying,” Cushing says. “I live in Southern Indiana. I see that on my sidewalk every day.” “But there is a kind of fear of old folks that some people have,” I point out, mentioning the convalescent home across from my elementary school, where kids coming and going would cross the street to avoid encountering any of the elderly patients parked near the sidewalk in front of the facility. “I think Shyamalan was counting on

Author Nicole Cushing says that she enjoyed the movie ‘The Visit’ even less than visiting the DMV.

‘Glorious!’ is the first play of the Ross Valley Players’ seven-play 2015-16 season.

THEATER

Broken promises

pointing out that she had no sense of pitch, no phrasing, no vocal control and couldn’t carry a tune. Who would pay to see her? While all of these observations were accurate, to their chagrin she filled the hall with jubilant supporters. Having listened to Jenkins’ original recordings, I can confirm that Brooks’ singing (if you can call it that) is at least as awful as the woman she is mimicking, and her portrayal of Jenkins as a rich eccentric is right on the mark. However, after a half-dozen fullthroated screeches, the butchering of a Mozart aria and an endless stream of misguided self-promotion, the joke wears thin. RVP’s supporting cast do generate occasional comic sparks. Mitchell Field, who looks and sounds like a typical semi-retired New York “man about town,” is well cast as Jenkins’ consort. Dependent on her largesse, he’s generous with his public praise, less so in private. Her faithful accompanist, Cosme McMoon, played by Dan Morgan, whose gay lifestyle is financially supported by their close working relationship, is another associate who sustains an awkward balance between his employer’s reality and her obvious fantasy. Maria (Maureen O’Donoghue), Jenkins’ non-English-speaking housemaid,

has some funny moments when their communication breaks down, and Eileen Fisher, her flighty young neighbor at the hotel, tries hard to give her cartoonish character some dimensionality, but is defeated by Quilter’s script. It’s all very lightweight stuff— good for a chuckle or two, but not much beyond that. As for the linkage with Trump, I see a strong parallel between Jenkins’ popularity (despite her absolute lack of talent), and the passionate support currently being given this clownish aspirant for the presidency. Part of the explanation (described in Glorious! director Billie Cox’s program note) is a widespread tendency to value action over inaction, even if it’s misguided. Part may be antiestablishment protest, and part a belief that to embrace inexplicable public lunacy is one way of asserting a “cool” individualism. In Jenkins’ case, the infatuation quickly ran its course. Hopefully, that will also be the case with The Donald.✹ NOW PLAYING: Glorious! runs through October 18 at Ross Valley Players’ Barn Theater, Marin Art & Garden Center, 30 Sir Francis Drake Blvd., Ross; 415/456-9555; rossvalleyplayers.com.

country. Actors who fit the role descriptions were available and a comedy about someone billed as “the worst singer in the world” promised plenty of laughs. Turns out, Glorious! is essentially a one-joke script that eventually collapses under the sheer weight of its repetitions. Ellen Brooks, an RVP regular capable of singing beautifully when the occasion warrants, brings a gutsy energy to the role of Florence Foster Jenkins, a real-life wealthy would-be diva who entertained invited audiences at soirees in her opulent New York hotel suite during the closing years of World War II. When she announced that to cap her career she would do a solo concert at 3,000-seat Carnegie Hall, her detractors predicted a disaster,

In a minute I’ll tell you why. First, to the event itself. Glorious! is the first offering in RVP’s sevenplay 2015-16 season, the 86th for this venerable company, whose members toil for love of what they do rather than fame or riches.

Hats off

2015 NorBays Music Award winners By Charlie Swanson

ur annual appreciation of North Bay bands, the NorBays Music Awards, is taking a break from hosting a live concert and ceremony this year. We’re retooling the show to make it bigger and better, but in the meantime, we’ve still got awards to hand out to nine of the best bands and musicians in the North Bay, in categories that range from jazz to folk to hip-hop. Without further ado, the winners of the 2015 NorBays, as voted on by readers (that means you):

Blues/R&B: Volker Strifler

Country/Americana: McKenna Faith Technically, McKenna Faith is not from the North Bay, but we’re going to let it slide on account of her stunning songwriting ability and sublime voice. At 20 years old, Faith

DJ: DJ Beset The Petaluma-based DJ Beset makes the rounds between Sonoma and Marin County parties and clubs, spinning an eclectic array of reggae, dancehall, hip-hop, soul and mainstream hits. He’s been heard on Wild 94.9 and he’s been getting shout-outs most recently for his sizzling remix of Janet Jackson’s “No Sleeep.” A resident DJ at Flatiron in San Rafael, DJ Beset will be spinning there next on Friday, Oct. 2.

Hot Club Beelzebub is an infernally entertaining five-piece formed in Santa Rosa in 2010. The longtime friends who make up the band have their hands in several North Bay music projects, yet when it comes to cabaret-style jazz, there’s nothing like the bawdy and brash sound they make as the Hot Club.

Indie/Punk: The Velvet Teen This has been a landmark year for Sonoma County indie rock trio the Velvet Teen. We’ve already fawned over their new record, All Is Illusory, released this summer; and we rocked at their blowout Phoenix Theater show in Petaluma last month. If you’ve not heard the new tunes from these North Bay favorites, now is the time.

Rock: Frobeck There’s nothing low key about the funk rock of Frobeck. Led by keyboardist and vocalist Spencer Burrows, the band, which includes a full horn section and a tight rhythm foundation, has been cranking

This year’s best DJ, DJ Beset, can often be found at Flatiron in San Rafael.

out feel-good grooves since 2005. Frobeck has amassed a dedicated North Bay fan base that enjoys the band’s high-energy live shows and top-notch musicianship. Frobeck’s next show is an album-release concert, where the band will unveil their new record, Sea of Truth, on Oct. 24 at HopMonk Tavern in Novato.

World/Reggae: Arcane Dimension Most of us live in a world of three dimensions. And then there’s Arcane Dimension, the avant-garde, world music collective. With a melding of bowed guitar melodies, belly dancing, performance art and tribal drums, the edgy and envelope-pushing Arcane Dimension are highly influenced by main man Jarek Tatarek’s metal and industrial background. This month, as the votes came in for the NorBays, Arcane Dimension announced they were going on hiatus for the fall. But when they decide to return to the tribe, the band will have plenty of fans ready to welcome them back.✹

Folk/Acoustic: Misner & Smith There’s something exceedingly timeless about folk-revival duo Misner & Smith, as if they stepped out of another era. In fact, Megan Smith and Sam Misner—who are also thespians, it turns out—met at a Shakespeare festival where they continue to perform, a testament to their old-timey enthusiasm and theatrical presentation. This fall,

is a newcomer to the country music scene, but she’s already making a lot of noise in Nashville recording studios and touring nonstop all over the country. Her next show is on Oct. 10 at Wild Flowers Saloon in Healdsburg.

Jazz: Hot Club Beelzebub

DJ Beset

Bob Hakins

Volker Strifler, who snags top honors in the Blues/R&B category, has a sound that is often compared to Duane Allman.

Santa Rosa underground rapper Broiler just dropped his ultra-dope LP Someone’s Thunder last June, and it’s packed with guest stars and sick beats. Look no further than the chill opening track, “Minivan Cruisin’,” a song about rolling down Mendocino Avenue in a Ford Aerostar.

Frobeck, winning this year in the Rock category, will play an album-release concert on Oct. 24 at Novato’s HopMonk Tavern.

Ridley Scott’s adaptation of ‘Martian’ is epic and funny By Richard von Busack

pic and oddly playful, Ridley Scott’s adaptation of Mountain View author Andy Weir’s bestseller The Martian combines the vastness of space with the intimacy of a podcast. Speared by flotsam during a Martian windstorm, astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead by his fellow crew members and left behind. This Robinson Crusoe on Mars is left to ingeniously kluge together a farm with duct tape and tarps, literally dig up energy sources and cook up a communication system to get in touch with home. Back on earth, Watney’s marooning is a public relations mess. The cantankerous NASA chief ( Jeff Daniels) seeks spin control. His head of PR is a worried Kristen Wiig. Meanwhile, a group of rebels within the organization, led by the mission controller (Chiwetel Ejiofor), concoct a plan to extract the astronaut. The rebels include a geeky punkette (Mackenzie Davis), a half-cracked student (Donald

Glover) and an indomitable scientist (Sean Bean). You don’t expect an adventure like this to be funny. Scott is usually a brooder, and when he goes comedic, as in A Good Year, he can be leaden. Yet screenwriter Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods) keeps the tone light and free of the philosophical blather that bloated Scott’s Prometheus. The music of David Bowie, from his spaceman period, also helps lighten the tone, and is a good complement to the retro-electronic score by Harry Gregson-Williams. The role of Watney brings out all of Damon’s best features: His solitude, strength and hard-bitten humor. His how-to videos and addresses to the camera have the fun of a good reality show. The endgame gets a little predictable, despite Jessica Chastain’s grace as the commander of the spaceship that left Watney behind. The Martian is a real pleasure and quite unique—a spirited, sweettempered movie about survival.✹

The New Mastersounds are known for their signature sound that brings “the true soul out of funk.”

The New Mastersounds formed in Leeds, England, nearly 20 years ago, and though much has changed in the lives of guitarist Eddie Roberts, drummer Simon Allen, bassist Pete Shand and keyboardist Joe Tatton, the tightly knit and funky foursome have never lost their musical connection to each other. On October 2, the New Mastersounds release their 10th album, Made for Pleasure, on the Royal Potato Family label. The band plays from the record when they hit the Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley on Sunday, Oct. 4, a day after they play San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. The upbeat, dance-inducing Pleasure was recorded in New Orleans, a city that has long influenced the band’s larger-than-life funk sound. Frontman Eddie Roberts spent a few years living in the city, after a stint living in San Francisco and before moving to Denver, where he resides now. The lively sounds of the French Quarter are prominent throughout the new record, which also includes several guest appearances by the likes of multi-instrumentalist Mike Dillon (Les Claypool’s Fancy Band) and soul singer Charly Lowry (Dark Water Rising), as well as a full horn section courtesy of band mates from Roberts’ former San Francisco jazz combo, West Coast Sounds. The New Mastersounds play from Made for Pleasure on Sunday, Oct. 4, at Sweetwater Music Hall, 19 Corte Madera Ave., Mill Valley; 8pm; $22–$24; 415/388-1100.—Charlie Swanson

Goddess

I’m very attracted to my co-worker—a self-described “happily married man.” We are “friends,” but he always has a warm hug, an interesting YouTube video or a poem or short story he’s written to share with me. He has taken me to lunch and has done work for me gratis. If I have car trouble, he connects me to a mechanic and sees that I get great work for a great price. Twice he’s told me, “I love you.” The second time, I responded, “I love you, too, and if you weren’t married, I’d take you on!” He then responded, “Previous commitment!” I’m confused as to what’s going on in his head. There has been no sex, and he hasn’t asked for any.—Huh?

Nothing says, “I want to make mad, passionate love to you” like a referral to a skilled and honest auto mechanic. The guy seems to be having a “flirtationship” with you—which is to say, this stuff he’s doing is foreplay to foreplay that’s unlikely to happen. There seems to be some evolutionary psychology bubbling up here—specifically, a facet of “error management theory.” This is the mouthful of a way that researchers Martie Haselton and David Buss explain how, when we might make an error in judgment, we evolved to make the least costly error. And though women engage in flirtationships, men seem to have evolved to err on the side of not missing a possible mating opportunity. And yes, that’s true even when they aren’t technically free to “mate”—like when a guy has taken (and seems to adhere to) those pesky vows to grow old with some lady, and not just in between sex romps with some other lady. That’s where flirting comes in. Interpersonal communications researcher David Henningsen points out that the essence of flirting is ambiguity, leading the target to “suspect that sexual interest is being expressed” but not allowing them to really be sure. As for a flirt’s goal, predictably, for many in Henningsen’s and others’ research, it’s about “getting some.” But some flirting, called “instrumental” flirting, is about getting something else—like getting a discount, getting some free help or getting out of a ticket by flashing a lady cop one’s man boobs. As for what may be going on here, Henningsen notes that some flirting is just about having fun, or is a way for a person to feel good about themselves. (“She’s all over me like ants on a croissanwich!”) There’s also what Henningsen calls the “exploring” motivation: Safely testing what a relationship with somebody new might be like (in case the wife runs off with the census taker). Chances are, this guy is into you but is clinging to fidelity like a shipwrecked rat on driftwood. Maybe try to enjoy this for what it is: Free lunch, free work and referrals to the amazing Carlos at Numero Uno Auto. And try to be grateful for all that he shares with you, like the poetry and short stories that his wife probably (wisely) refuses to read. As for a companion to take you to that dark place with satin sheets, you’ll have to find somebody unmarried and available. If this guy is looking to make his wife cry, it seems he’ll stick to low-grade relationship misdemeanors, like forgetting her birthday or, when they’re in bed, calling her by an old girlfriend’s name. Or by the dog’s.

I just discovered that my boyfriend of a year not only is married but has two young kids. I broke it off immediately and texted his wife. I made it clear that I had no idea he was married. But now his wife keeps contacting me, wanting to meet for lunch. I’m not sure what she wants from me.—Go Away, Lady

When somebody just can’t let go after a relationship, you don’t expect it to be your married boyfriend’s wife. You can’t seem to get it through her head: “I’m out of his life, and I’d really like to be out of yours.” She’s probably just looking for answers—sadly, to questions like, “How pretty are you?” “How big are your boobs?” and “How the heck did you get him to go to the dermatologist?” But the only answer you really need to give her is a definitive no: No calls. No texts. No more contact. Meanwhile, review any signs you may have overlooked that this guy wasn’t the single, available man he made himself out to be, and go into future relationships wanting to find out rather than wanting to believe. This should keep you from having scorned wives hitting you up for lunch dates and from the charming offers that might ensue: “Whaddya say—if I treat you to tiramisu, would you help me dump his body in the ravine?”✹ Worship the goddess—or sacrifice her at the altar at adviceamy@aol.com

For the week of September 30

Aries (March 21-April 19): The next seven weeks will NOT be a favorable time to fool around with psychic vampires and charismatic jerks. I recommend you avoid the following mistakes, as well: Failing to protect the wounded areas of your psyche; demanding perfection from those you care about; and trying to fulfill questionable desires that have led you astray in the past. Now I’ll name some positive actions you’d be wise to consider: Hunting for skillful healers who can relieve your angst and aches; favoring the companionship of people who are empathetic and emotionally intelligent; and getting educated about how to build the kind of intimacy you can thrive on. Taurus (April 20-May 20): You may have seen

websites that offer practical tips on how to improve your mastery of life’s little details. They tell you how to de-clutter your home, or how to keep baked goods from going stale, or why you should shop for shoes at night to get the best fit. I recently came across a humorous site that provides the opposite: Bad life tips. For instance, it suggests that you make job interviews less stressful by only applying for jobs you don't want. Put your laptop in cold water to prevent overheating. To save time, brush your teeth while you eat. In the two sets of examples I’ve just given, it’s easy to tell the difference between which tips are trustworthy and which aren’t. But in the coming days, you might find it more challenging to distinguish between the good advice and bad advice you’ll receive. Be very discerning.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): On a windy

afternoon last spring I was walking through a quiet neighborhood in Berkeley. In one yard there was a garden plot filled with the young green stems of as-yet unidentifiable plants. Anchored in their midst was a small handwritten sign. Its message seemed to be directed not at passers-by like me but at the sprouts themselves. “Grow faster, you little bastards!” the sign said—as if the blooming things might be bullied into ripening. I hope you’re smart enough not to make similar demands on yourself and those you care about, Gemini. It’s not even necessary. I suspect that everything in your life will just naturally grow with vigor in the coming weeks.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): “I am rooted, but I

flow,” wrote Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves. That paradoxical image reminds me of you right now. You are as grounded as a tree and as fluid as a river. Your foundation is deep and strong, even as you are resilient in your ability to adapt to changing circumstances. This is your birthright as a Cancerian! Enjoy and use the blessings it confers. (P.S. If for some strange reason you’re not experiencing an exquisite version of what I’ve described, there must be some obstacle you are mistakenly tolerating. Get rid of it.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Should I offer my congratulations? You have corralled a gorgeous mess of problems that are more interesting and provocative than everyone else’s. It’s unclear how long this odd good fortune will last, however. So I suggest you act decisively to take maximum advantage of the opportunities that your dilemmas have cracked open. If anyone can turn the heartache of misplaced energy into practical wisdom, you can. If anyone can harness chaos to drum up new assets, it’s you. Is it possible to be both cunning and conscientious, both strategic and ethical? For you right now, I think it is. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Let’s say you have walked along the same path or driven down the same road a thousand times. Then, one day, as you repeat your familiar route, a certain object or scene snags your attention for the first time. Maybe it’s a small fountain or a statue of the Buddhist goddess Guanyin or a wall with graffiti that says, “Crap happens, but so does magic.” It has always been there. You’ve been subconsciously aware of it. But at this moment, for unknown reasons, it finally arrives in your conscious mind. I believe this is an apt metaphor for your life in the next week.

By Rob Brezsny

More than once, you will suddenly tune in to facts, situations or influences that had previously been invisible to you. That’s a good thing! But it might initially bring a jolt.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The 20th century’s

most influential artist may have been Pablo Picasso. He created thousands of paintings, and was still churning them out when he was 91 years old. A journalist asked him which one was his favorite. “The next one,” he said. I suggest you adopt a similar attitude in the coming weeks, Libra. What you did in the past is irrelevant. You should neither depend on nor be weighed down by anything that has come before. For now, all that matters are the accomplishments and adventures that lie ahead of you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A windbreak is a line of stout trees or thick bushes that provides shelter from the wind. I think you need a metaphorical version: Someone or something to shield you from a relentless force that has been putting pressure on you; a buffer zone or protected haven where you can take refuge from a stressful barrage that has been hampering your ability to act with clarity and grace. Do you know what you will have to do to get it? Here’s your battle cry: “I need sanctuary! I deserve sanctuary!” Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your fellow Sagittarian Walt Disney accomplished a lot. He was a pioneer in the art of animation and made movies that won numerous Academy Awards. He built theme parks, created an entertainment empire and amassed fantastic wealth. Why was he so successful? In part because he had high standards, worked hard and harbored an obsessive devotion to his quirky vision. If you aspire to cultivate any of those qualities, now is a favorable time to raise your mastery to the next level. Disney had one other trait you might consider working on: He liked to play the game of life by his own rules. For example, his favorite breakfast was doughnuts dipped in Scotch whisky. What would be your equivalent? Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): October is Fix

the Fundamentals month. It will be a favorable time to substitute good habits for bad habits. You will attract lucky breaks and practical blessings as you work to transform overwrought compulsions into rigorous passions. You will thrive as you seek to discover the holy yearning that’s hidden at the root of devitalizing addictions. To get started, instigate free-wheeling experiments that will propel you out of your sticky rut and in the direction of a percolating groove.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Have you made

your travel plans yet? Have you plotted your escape? I hope you will hightail it to a festive playground where some of your inhibitions will shrink, or else journey to a holy spot where your spiritual yearnings will ripen. What would be even better is if you made a pilgrimage to a place that satisfied both of those agendas—filled up your senses with novel enticements and fed your hunger for transcendent insights. Off you go, Aquarius! Why aren’t you already on your way? If you can’t manage a real getaway in the near future, please at least stage a jailbreak for your imagination.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Pablo Neruda’s Book

of Questions consists entirely of 316 questions. It’s one of those rare texts that makes no assertions and draws no conclusions. In this spirit, and in honor of the sphinx-like phase you’re now passing through, I offer you six pertinent riddles: 1. What is the most important thing you have never done? 2. How could you play a joke on your fears? 3. Identify the people in your life who have made you real to yourself. 4. Name a good old thing you would have to give up in order to get a great new thing. 5. What’s the one feeling you want to feel more than any other in the next three years? 6. What inspires you to love?✹ Homework: Send testimonies about how you’ve redeemed the dark side. FreeWillAstrology.com.
