WEDNESDAY 24 JANUARY AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER US hegemony and the strength of Wall Street have been closely aligned for more than a century, during which certain private bankers have achieved a position of greater power than the presidency (or central banks). The crises of the past decade were a manifestation of what happens when US bankers operate beyond the control of government, often enabled by the highest political office in the world. — from All the Presidents’ Bankers: The Hidden Alliances That Drive American Power © 2014
Nomi Prins is a writer, investigative journalist, and public speaker. She is well-known for the exposé It Takes a Pillage: Behind the Bonuses, Bailouts, and Backroom Deals from Washington to Wall Street and for All the Presidents’ Bankers, a narrative about the relationships between presidents and key bankers over the past century and their impact on domestic and foreign policy. Prins worked on Wall Street before becoming a journalist and author. A new book, Collusion: How Central Bankers Rigged the World, which explores the rise of central bank power and influence in the global financial, economic, and geopolitical hierarchy, is forthcoming in 2018.

Colum McCann is the author of six novels and three collections of stories, including Let the Great World Spin, TransAtlantic, and Thirteen Ways of Looking. In a 2013 interview the author said, “I believe in the democracy of storytelling. That stories can cross all sorts of borders and boundaries. I don’t know of a greater privilege than being allowed to tell a story or to listen to a story.” McCann’s books cover a wide range of topics, including The Troubles in Northern Ireland, the life of Russian dancer Rudolf Nureyev, the first attempted nonstop flight across the Atlantic in 1919, New York of the 1970s, and the tightrope walker who crossed the gap between the Twin Towers. Born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1965, McCann crossed the United States on a bicycle in the 1980s, “simply to expand my lungs emotionally.” He is the recipient of several honors, among them the National Book Award, the International DUBLIN Literary Award, and designation as a Chevalier des Arts et Lettres. In 2012 McCann cofounded the nonprofit global story-exchange organization Narrative 4, whose mission is to use storytelling to inspire “fearless hope through radical empathy.” McCann lives in New York with his family and teaches creative writing in the MFA program at Hunter College.

POOR JUDGMENT Your incriminating publishing of ... “Student tied to school shooting letter won’t be returning to school any time soon” is an ignorant, grossly uninformed statement regarding my son, Julian Carter. The writer of such idiocy needs to be informed of the situation before attempting to publish an incriminating, judgmental comment on an innocent minor as was written. My husband, Robb Rael, was planning to advertise his business in your paper, but after this horrific comment you published he will have nothing to do with the SF Reporter. Shame on you.

BONUS THOUGHTS: ON MLK DAY
TELL IT ON THE ROTUNDA It was a wonderful surprise to see the Capitol Rotunda overflowing with so many people honoring MLK Jr. I had imagined a much smaller crowd, where I might have had a chance to share observations, like some of the memories below. Coretta Scott (King) was my elementary schoolteacher: We all liked her because she let us listen to the Cleveland Indians quest for a World Series instead of doing our schoolwork. But I liked her especially because of the beautiful songs she taught us, and her attractiveness. She was my first girlfriend, but due to the 10-year age discrepancy there was little hope for me: She ran off with Martin! In retrospect, I hear many of these songs embedded in Martin’s oratory, for example in an amalgam of speeches one might hear “I might not get there with you ... but one day from the top of the mountain people will sing: freedom, freedom, thank God almighty, freedom at last!” Within this I would hear her favorite “Go Tell It on the Mountain.” And by saying, “I might not get there with you,” I believe he knew he would be killed.
____________________________________________________ He and Coretta came our family’s house in Ohio in 1964. His presence was electric. What an amazing person!

COVER, JANUARY 17: “MAKING IT GO ‘BOOM’”
FRICKIN’ FRACKIN’ Over 60 percent of New Mexico receives water from the Rio Grande Watershed and the lovely green river corridor of the Rio Chama is its largest tributary. At the same time that the Rio Chama Watershed is moving toward renewable energy ... we are battling yet another oil and gas lease sale that includes parcels that are well within the western boundaries of our watershed. The pivot to the new energy economy cannot come soon enough as we see the oil and gas sacrifice zone, known as the San Juan Basin, creep ever eastward. Hydro-fracking the meager shale resources in the Rio Chama Watershed has proven irresistible to an industry that seems willing to risk the health of one of the state’s major water resources. An unprecedented 120 formal letters of protest were submitted to the BLM regarding this lease sale within the Greater Chaco, a region that includes a portion of the Rio Chama Watershed and that houses the largest collection of ancient Puebloan sites in existence at Chaco. Like other environmental groups in New Mexico we will continue the fight to protect our communities and the land and water that sustain us.

A businessman with a roofing company and a gym, Arellano has run for the District 2 seat before.
#2
1. JOE ARELLANO SFR’s time-honored tradition of pop-quizzing candidates for public office is our way of testing their knowledge about the community they seek to represent. The city election on March 6 includes four districted council seats with a total of nine candidates, and five people who are running for mayor. For the next several weeks, we’ll bring you a race or two in each print edition. Last week was the north side District 1. Now, we slide toward the eastern edge of the city to quiz three people who want to represent District 2. Incumbent Joseph Maestas is giving up the seat to run for mayor. The rules of Pop Quiz are simple: We record each quiz call and report the answers verbatim. We asked candidates to promise up front that they won’t use companions, smartphones, Google, or any other research to help. To see who answered correctly, check the answer key below. Don’t forget to register to vote in the election before the Feb. 6 deadline.
I’m going to say no. False.
3.
Are you talking about assisted living or just senior centers? [SFR clarifies that we’re not counting privately owned senior housing and only facilities the city lists as senior centers.] The first is Pasatiempo. Um, Alta Vista. I’m just trying to think here … thinking, thinking, thinking. You
4.
That’s a tough one. Let me think about that for a minute. Can you go on to the next question and we’ll come back to it? [SFR agrees and returns after the next question.] I’m going to just be drawing a blank on that one. I’ll take an F on that one.
5.
I think we’re going to have to be talking about a space that’s owned by a private [entity] or the city government that people have included within their property lines. That’s what I could come up with right now. INCORRECT
NATE DOWNEY
Downey runs a permaculture business and is making his first bid for public office.
let me think. There’s going to be a new one going in on Pacheco. And that would be my answer. (Ponce de Leon is former name of a private senior center now called Brookdale.)
1.
I would say St. Michael’s Drive and St. Francis … although, yep, St. Francis. (Missed: Cerrillos Road and Old Las Vegas Highway)
4.
Inclusionary zoning allows for additional units—guest houses, apartments—that can be included in the property.
2.
They should. Of course. If there was red before, you’d want it to be red again. And they did use red before the law went into effect.
5.
3.
Oh, we have … there’s two on Alta Vista and one on Luisa and … oh boy. Ponce de Leon and,
Defensible space has to do with fire. When the county looks at a property, I know they’re very concerned with having 25 feet of defensible space, such that you don’t have flammable materials around the house or other structure.
1.
Which roads in District 2 are maintained by the State of New Mexico and not the city of Santa Fe?
2.
True or False: Historic Design standards allow red window trim on “historically significant homes.”
An attorney who specializes in public policy, Romero-Wirth has a long history of volunteer work in Santa Fe.
3.
Name the senior centers in your district.
1.
4.
The city has policy known as inclusionary zoning. What does that mean?
I believe St. Francis Drive. (Missed: Cerrillos Road, Old Las Vegas Highway and St. Michael’s Drive.)
2.
False.
5.
know what? There’s gonna be, I want to say, one on Columbia or Luisa. There’s one back there. Those are the two that I’m aware of. (Missed: Ventana de Vida)
Which roads in District 2 ... I’m going to have to say St. Michael’s Drive. And a portion of Cerrillos Road. And St. Francis. I’m just trying to get my wits about me. Okay. What’s your next question? (Missed: Old Las Vegas Highway)
2.
NEWS
INCORRECT
CAROL ROMERO-WIRTH 3.
The senior centers in my district, I believe, are Luisa, Pasatiempo and Ventana de Vida.
4.
It’s a way to include affordable housing in new development. So, a certain percentage of a new development has to include affordable housing or [developers] have to do in-lieu-of payments to opt out of that requirement.
5.
No idea.
What is defensible space? INCORRECT
1.
2.
St. Francis Drive, Cerrillos Road, St. Michael’s Drive/Old Pecos Trail (they join one another), and a small part of Old Las Vegas Highway in the district are all state roads. True. According to the city’s Historic Preservation Office, it depends on the building and the shade of red, but in general, it’s allowed. Red and Taos Blue were common in the first quarter of the 20th century.
3.
Pasatiempo (on Alta Vista), Luisa, Ventana de Vida (on Pacheco)
4.
Inclusionary zoning is a key part of the city’s affordable housing program. A housing development must include a certain percentage of homes built that are priced within reach of income-qualified Santa Feans.
5.
It’s a buffer zone of thinned or cleared vegetation around a structure in the wildland-urban interface that will slow or stop the progress of a wildfire.

Juan Martinez is among students in the auto mechanics program at SFCC.

ars aren’t what they used to be, and neither are automotive technician programs. They’re computer-based these days, necessitating a higher skill set. “They’re not cars our dads and grandpas drove and fixed in their backyards,” says Gilbert Sena, the lead faculty member of the automotive program at Santa Fe Community College. Sena has been working on cars since the 1970s, and teaching people how to work on them for nearly as long. He spearheaded SFCC’s automotive mechanics curriculum in 2015 after Northern New Mexico College shuttered its auto program. Students who started courses then are now beginning their capstone courses, a final step toward an associate degree. But the program, which currently serves about 80 students, has had trouble recruiting. The primary reason: It needs more space. That’s a major reason why SFCC is putting a $17 million general obligation bond to a vote on Feb. 6, though early voting is currently in effect until Feb. 3. It is one of two bond questions for the community college that are up for a vote. The second question asks voters to approve a bond restructure that would decrease the

school’s capital mill and increase its operating mill. Of the $17 million total, $7 million would go toward building a new 17,000-square-foot auto center on the campus, while the other $10 million would pay for infrastructure repairs at the college’s fitness center, expansion of technological services on campus and upgrades to certain instructional facilities. The automotive program stands to get the biggest facelift. Currently, it is spread out across three areas in the city: The main campus itself off Richards Avenue, the Higher Education Center on Siringo Road, and a 2,000-square-foot garage that can only fit two cars at a time—and it’s the only place students get the hands-on experience in their coursework. “The bond is needed because we don’t have any space,” says auto student Jason Anaya, taking a break from a Monday afternoon class at the HEC. A number of larger tools necessary for instruction, such as several car lifts and large toolboxes to store specialized electronics, just don’t fit in the shop. Among other areas that would benefit from the general obligation bond are programs for greenhouse management and sustainable technologies, says Todd Lovato, director of marketing for the school.

that breathe and bleed would also see an infusion. “A lot of classroom improvement projects are going to go directly to these kind of workforce development needs in terms of healthcare, STEM [science, technology, engineering and mathematics], green technology—all of these different highneed areas for the future of our country,” Lovato tells SFR. In addition to the $17 million bond, the ballot also features a new tax levy. It asks voters to approve a rise in the existing tax levy of $3 per $1,000 of taxable property to $3.35. According to calculations by Nick Telles, SFCC’s vice president of finance and chief financial officer, a vote of “yes” for both the general obligation bond and the restructuring would decrease the school’s capital mill and increase its operating mill, keeping the tax rate at its current level. For example, a home with a market value of $300,000 would still owe about $369 in taxes a year if voters say yes to both questions. If they both fail, the same household would pay about $317 and the school would receive no improvements. Over the last two years, the college, which maintains an annual budget of about $35 million, has lost about $1 million dollars in funding from the state, Telles says. This has resulted in a slight tuition increase for students living in New Mexico, a substantially higher increase for out-of-state students, three administrative layoffs and the loss of three academic programs last summer, although the respiratory care program was “resuscitated” when Christus St. Vincent committed to funding it for two years, according to Lovato. The mill-levy vote is the first for the school since 2010. The college gets 49 percent of its revenue from the local tax base, insulating it from unpredictability at the state level. About 5,500 for-credit students are currently enrolled, and a total of 15,000 take classes each year. “We’re lucky because Santa Fe, historically in our local appropriations, has always been very supportive of our community college,” says Telles.
Santa Fe Public Schools is asking voters to re-approve a 2 mill levy on property taxes for maintenance, security systems, infrastructure repairs and other general upkeep for the district’s 27 campus sites, plus six charter schools. Superintendent Veronica Garcia likens the vote to maintaining a car or a home. “This particular election is really [about] protecting their investment they’ve already made in their schools,” Garcia tells SFR. “There’s no other funding source for us; if bonding capacity exists, which [it does] in Santa Fe, there’s no other pot of money to go to for this kind of much-needed expenditure.” Voters will determine whether to renew the bond, known as SB-9. Between the 2012-2013 school year and 2016-2017, the bond brought in a total of $59.8 million. About half went to facilities repair and maintenance for campus grounds, security and fire protection, playgrounds and athletic fields; the rest largely went to IT capacity across the district, and a smaller sliver went to programming for art, music and athletics and other curriculum support. If approved, the SB-9 revenue source will bring in $11.5 million per year for district schools plus $1.5 million annually for six charter schools. The total cost of the levy would be $78 million by 2023. The SB-9 tax has been in effect since 1979 and comes out to about $2 per $1,000 of taxable property, or about $200 a year for a $300,000 home.

Deep, dark skies
As an 18-year-old, a new friend and I drove off into the desert one night during our first week as freshmen at the College of Santa Fe. We thought we were in the middle of nowhere. (I later figured out we were actually in Eldorado.) We pulled over and looked up at the sky. “Man, it’s beautiful,” I said. “Too bad about that band of clouds right across the middle, huh?” “Uh, Charlotte,” he said. “That’s the Milky Way.” It’s a scene that’s likely played out with many folks coming to the impressively dark landscape of New Mexico for the first time. The combination of low population and

almost no industry makes for a sky that twinkles more than most, and our state’s Night Sky Protection Act, put into place in 1999, regulates outdoor light fixtures and sets guidelines for energy conservation. Paradoxically, less light makes it easier to see when driving at night; and, while some light can make us safer, the International Dark Sky Association suggests that “Dark Campus” programs actually reduce crime and vandalism.

Say what you will about rich people, but really good food is often a byproduct of their existence, and the closest thing to a successful demonstration of trickle-down economics most of us will ever see. A truly world-class dining experience is often just a short walk away from your appointment at the county building or City Hall. But it’s not just restaurants; we grow stuff. Most of it’s legal and most of it’s delicious. The farmers market is churning out produce and other crafty goods both in downtown and on the Southside, and there are delicious, cheap taco trucks all over town. It’s a good time to be hungry, Santa Fe. (Matt Grubs)

The museums are expanding
5
We’re an arts mecca, and you can confirm that with visitors, but we sure hope everyone at home is aware of the many museums Santa Fe has to offer. And though we’re always down to check a new exhibit at the Museum of International Folk Art or the Institute of American Indian Arts’ Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, we’ll hand it to the New Mexico Museum of Art and SITE Santa Fe—cause they poppin’ lately! Not only did SITE go nuts with renovations—including that absolutely stunning steel prow which now juts out toward Paseo de Peral-
ta—but the state art museum is also planning a new satellite location nearby next year in the Halpin Building on Montezuma Avenue. SITE celebrated its grand reopening with the ongoing exhibition called Future Shock and this month launched a solo show from Luke DuBois on the timely issue of democracy and elections. The art museum got a major facelift and has put up three exhibits in honor of its centennial. Did we mention many of these places have at least one day every week when admission is free?

And just like ... walking
Santa Fe County has an entire department dedicated to wide-open areas. Since 1999, the Open Space and Trails Planning department has purchased large tracts from private owners “specifically for conservation and preservation,” and has sought input from community members for how each of its eight areas—totaling 6,610 acres of open lands, 155 acres of parks, and 34 miles of trails—should be managed. “The planning program, the open space program at the county, are very community-driven. We always listen to our community members; we always take their concerns into consideration and to the best of our ability,” says Maria Lohmann, the senior planner at the Open Space and Trails department. Some of these concerns, she says, often tend to deal with how best to make a space open for humans while also not threatening theanimals and plants that live there. For example, the plan for the San Pedro Open Space, located in southern Santa Fe County and acquired as a “scenic
gateway to the San Pedro Mountains,” identifies small critters and juniper woodland populations. The Los Potreros plan, for a plot of land in Chimayó, includes suggestions for a “grazing period” for livestock and small animals. The related environmental review process, which solicits guidance from people in surrounding communities, can run for years, and at least one area, the South Meadows Open Space, has been in a planning period for almost two decades (in fairness, it’s located next to an old nuke-parts plant, so that might be part of the holdup). But the amount of time the county is willing to put into environmental planning makes the slow trot worth it, in our view. (Aaron Cantú)
For Christmas, my mom bought me a really incredible poncho from a border town in Mexico. It’s large and warm, and has an Aztec sun pattern woven into it. I’ve worn it a lot since then, and I’ve felt at various points like a broad-shouldered mammal who can ward off a mountain lion if I need to. Professionally crafted ponchos are a new addition to my wardrobe, and my excitement has clearly eclipsed that of those around me: Nobody in Santa Fe cares I’m wearing what is essentially a large blanket draped over my shoulders, and the only time anybody ever comments on it is to give a compliment. “Hey, that looks really warm!” somebody said to me as I was buying my coffee the other day. “Hey, thanks,” I replied. That was it. In any other city of this size, at least anywhere outside the Southwest, a large and illustrious poncho such as mine may be too eccentric to wear regularly while avoiding extemporaneous comments. In larger cities like New York, I’d worry about getting the tassels caught in a subway car door, or, while sitting in a cramped restaurant, making a big show of lifting it over my head and probably grazing somebody’s face in the process. How embarrassing and unsanitary. But in Santa Fe, you can stretch out your arms and puff out your poncho like a bluffing spider monkey and it’s totally normal. I love it. (AC) CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

25 It’s also OK to wear fringe (see #6) 7
Millennials call it “extra.” Slightly-olderthan-millennials might call it “flair.” Olderthan-those-people probably call it “pizzazz” or something. It’s the ol’ razzle-dazzle. Baubles, bling, accoutrements, the bits and bobs of a haberdasher, accessories— whatever you refer to it as, it’s stuff. And you look really, really fun when you employ it in your wardrobe. In most other parts of the country, when you dress like a weird hippie with scarves and rings and multiple piercings in one nostril, when you’re a dude and your socks are cooler than your girl’s, or when your purse has long dangley fringes hanging down to your knees (that goes for any gender or lack thereof ), it’s not that you “may” get the sideeye. You definitely do. Here, the more junk you add to your person, the better you look. Brightly colored fringed floral kimono? Bring it on! Wrapping a Christmas garland in your braid in March? Aw yiss. Giant wool coat with massive embroidered flowers and a big ol’ rhinestone cow skull across the yoke? Nothing is cooler. Sure, this style isn’t for everyone. But think of it this way: The more plainly you dress, you’re not more likely to get mocked. However, the more outrageously you bedeck yourself, often the more folks roll their eyes. But not here. Either end of the simple-to-ridiculous spectrum is equally respected. (CJ)

You can get really good 8
Barbers and cosmetologists say they covet the Santa Fe market because the cost of cuts here is relatively more expensive than elsewhere in New Mexico. This is because the clientele tend to be older, retired, or just passing through and looking for a way to pamper themselves, cosmetologists tell SFR. Where you go matters; many of the salons and barbershops clustered near the Plaza might not even be open in the afternoon if they haven’t already booked clients for those times. But there’s plenty of cheaper spots that more than likely have talented people on their staff. For classic male cuts at an affordable price, we like the Solana Barber Shop (931 W Alameda St., 983-9816) and Dino’s DriveIn BarberShop (1300 Luisa St., 908-0902).
If you’re looking for something a bit more involved but don’t want to blow your bank account, check out TNA Hair Salon (112 W San Francisco St., Ste. 309, 920-8019), owned and operated by a very chill, tattooed and pompadoured guy named Tommy Lucero. And if you’re willing to take a risk with your head, you can get a cut or color at Vogue College of Cosmetology (2434 Cerrillos Road, 473-5552). The person who cuts your hair will be a student, so you have to be willing to let them try and fail on you; but the prices are rock-bottom cheap, and you can actually get a decent cut there, since they’re working under the gaze of instructors on the salon floor.

The county is building a mental health crisis center 9
America sucks when it comes to mental health. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates about 43 million peo people suffer from one or more diagnosable mental conditions in a given year, though the severity and fleetingness of a person’s condition can range. About 10 million are functionally impaired due to their menmen tal health, and in Santa Fe County, there are about 2,500 people in that camp. And whether a person is temporarily gripped by anguish, it’s not easy to get treatment. That’s why Santa Fe county’s plan to build a “crisis triage center” is right on time. The basic idea is that shoppers will pay a new tax on goods and services that will generate over $1 million each year for the operation of a mental health refuge in the county—meant to be a first line of defense for people in the throes of crises. Community Services Department Director Rachel O’Connor told SFR last year that
the center will feature qualified mental health and addiction counselors and other specialists on site at all hours of the day, including employees from Christus St. Vincent, the addiction and transitional housing center The Life Link, and reps from the city’s Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion program. The county’s crisis center is part of a broader effort by mental and social service workers in Santa Fe to tear down any barriers. Over the last year, the county has formed a plan to rope about a dozen local health and social service providers into a coordinated plan to treat vulnerable people in the county, the idea being that if one place doesn’t have what a person needs, they can easily and quickly send them over to another organization that does. The county’s crisis triage center, which will probably break ground in 2019, aims to act as an anchor. (AC)
Lots of people really freakin’ coyotes
Big-name bands seem to suddenly be aware of us
11
10
“Living here in this ancient land where coyotes first evolved, we understand in Santa Fe that the coyote is one of the great magic shows of nature. Getting to see coyotes here is like seeing whales breach in the Pacific.” Those are the reverential words of Dan Flores, author of the book Coyote America, resident of the Galisteo Valley, and nationally renowned expert on coyotes. When it comes to the statues, paintings, jewelry and Christmas ornaments in downtown shop windows, Flores tells SFR of his travels around the United States: “I’ve never seen so many vernacular references to coyotes as I have in Santa Fe.” In general, Santa Feans respect coyotes’ sovereignty. They were here long before us, and they’re gonna be here long after the Homo sapien apocalypse. “Trying to resist coyotes is futile; that’s not going to happen,” Flores says. “The best strategy is to learn how to coexist with them.” (Step one is a no-brainer: Keep your pets inside.) Unscientific and ineffective coyote-killing contests still occur in New Mexico, but not without vehement protests. And, Flores says, we could be closer than ever to getting them outlawed (California’s already done so): Last year a bill banning them passed the state Senate, but died in the House. Keep up with Project Coyote (projectcoyote.org) and Animal Protection Voters (apvnm.org) for advocacy opportunities. (CJ)
As we write this, we’ve got visions of recent shows shows from acts like Wavves, Joyce Manor and Future Islands dancing in our heads. On the horizon, Talib Kweli at Meow Wolf next month and Portugal. The Man at the convention center in April are reminders that maybe we’re gonna have a viable non-local music scene after all. And though we’ll tip our hat to the hardworking Santa Feans in the trenches week after week—not to mention the thriving DIY scene being cultivated by spaces like Zephyr Community Art Studio and Ghost—we’re gonna go ahead and point out the obvious: Meow Wolf is doing things that simply haven’t been done here since the days of Club Luna, Allegria and The Paramount. We can only hope the trajectory keeps climbing, but we’re not complaining (yet); more like reveling in the awesomeness while the reveling is good. (ADV)

Mountain biking for days
We have so many trails. They’re so accessible and so rarely crowded. And while we’re getting more mountain bikers, we’re also getting more trails. They can get dusty and washed out, but even that is getting a little better as a handful of groups who care about —and know how to go about—taking care of them make their way through Santa Fe’s myriad singletrack sightlines. Sure, the National Forest trails
require a bit more appreciation for crowds (to the grump who told me “I hope you fall” on Raven’s Ridge … I didn’t.) And sure, we still have people who think a trail is the perfect place to let their dog off-leash (it isn’t, and it’s usually illegal), but most folks are happy to accommodate each other regardless of the way they’re using the trails. It’s gorgeous out, anyway— what’s not to smile about? (MG) CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

25 Many—not all—creative types can make a living 13
Without getting into a whole thing about how artists can sometimes be taken advantage of (a story for another day), have you ever stopped to think about just how many people in Santa Fe make their living creatively? From session musicians and street performers to sculptors, filmmakers, painters, theater folk and countless other sub-classifications of jobs, it’s quite possible to ditch that 9-to-5 for a career in the arts and make a fairly comfortable living. Oh, we’re not saying it’s going to be easy, and the hustle might be tough, but at the end of the day, the only real thing stopping you is you. Call that gallery, take those songs out of your bedroom and stop assuming you have more time; Santa Fe might be the land of mañana, but the artistry is all the time. (ADV)
Most of the construction on Cerrillos Road is done 14
We’re actually scared to type this for fear it may cause a water main to burst—but most of the widening and improving and even God-awful double-diamonding of Cerrillos Road is complete. It’s been such a pain for so long that it seems fairly likely there’s an undiscovered m o r a l i t y p l ay by S o p h o c l e s exploring the allure of the shortest route to Home Depot or Natural Grocers but for the treachery of using Cerrillos Road to get there. There are some things of which we’re certain, including that there’s a repair that will pop up sometime soon or, eventually, a section that needs to be widened again—in fact, no sooner had we started typing this than the state confirmed it is studying a project for the stretch of Cerrillos from Osage Avenue to St. Francis Drive. Gah! But nothing is planned or funded for the next four years. We’re also certain that no amount of widening or flow-fixing construction can fix stupid drivers. Maybe it can at least make them more tolerable. Maybe. (MG)

Even when there’s , we ski 15
We don’t love that it’s been a record-breaking dry winter, and we know we are gonna miss the snow snowpack in the spring. But we do love that Ski Santa Fe is able to use the mar marvels of modern technology to some somehow keep snow on the ground, and that you can get there in well under
an hour from the city. Sure, it’s super weird riding the ski lift over hundreds of feet of bare, brown earth, and there may come a time when using water to make snow just isn’t fair or feasible. But those corduroy runs still offer the mountain’s special brand of exercise and relaxation, even if ski basin officials count 18 runs open and there are realistically only seven ways down. Snow-making crews work in the dead of night and apply a special skill at making smooth surface for our boards and planks. Get thee to Totemoff ’s for live music on the patio on weekends, too.

The interchange at Jaguar and 599 is finally open 16
The Cook family from Española paid to build the state’s only pri privately funded interchange onto a state highway. It took a minute, but it’s finally open and has the potential to change more than just the daily commute for thou thousands of Santa Feans who live in Tierra Contenta. Imagine being able to take Highway 599 into downtown instead of having to chug up Cerrillos Road? Bliss. The interchange also opens up access to the SWAN Park on the city’s Southside, which features a baseball field, soccer field and
a big, grassy field that’s good for frisbee or anything else. There’s a cool playground and basketball courts, too. Soon, the Village Plaza development could start popping up, with restaurants and other Southside businesses that could give the West Airport Road corridor some actual local flavor. In the somewhat distant future the other side of the interchange is supposed to lead to a new entrance to the airport and potentially open up city land for development and extra cash for city coffers.

Yeah, but it’s a dry heat 17
All the right people don’t care if you’re from 18
Hollywo od,
When we’re shriveling up in 100-degree temps for that week or so each summer that it gets that hot, many folks feel blind rage when a starry-eyed tourist utters those six words. But honestly … It really is a dry heat, and it really is much nicer than a wet heat, if you ask just about anyone. Sure, we wake up occasionally at 4 am choking from a sudden dryness in our throats, and you can’t leave bread out on the counter for 10 minutes without it turning into an inedible knob. But think of the last August you spent in New Jersey. Think of peeling off your skivvies on a summer evening in New Orleans, or a Florida springtime where you need to swim through the air. Even a weekend trip to Austin one May had me pawing wretchedly at my clothes and lamenting the unbearable moisture—until my friend pointed out that humidity was at 30 percent. A dry day, by Austin standards. I couldn’t wait to get back to New Mexico. Weather and climate website wunderground.com calculates that our average annual humidity is 15 percent. Keeping that in mind, according to researcher TC Scheffer’s 1991 paper on historic wood structures for the Forest Research Laboratory of Oregon State University, “If wood moisture content is 20 percent or less, … serious decay is unlikely.” So, in short, we’re all gonna look good forever. Conclusion: Every other city on the planet is a sopping wet mess and this desert is heavenly. (Insert gripes about climate change and drought here; I know, I know. I’m just talking about surface pleasures here.) If you don’t like it, just go try and breathe on the Gulf of Mexico this summer and get back to us. (CJ)
and all the right people do, too I’ve bumped into Judge Reinhold at the grocery store, sat next to Gene Hackman at lunch, Alan Arkin at dinner and been tailgated by Wilford Brimley (BACK OFF, DIABEETUS!). Shirley MacLaine has given me the stink-eye (playfully—I think) and Val Kilmer once hit on the receptionist at a former workplace. There’s even some family lore about laughing at the guy at Whole Foods who totally thought he was Christian Bale
(he was totally Christian Bale). And you can’t swing a tote bag in this town without striking Ali MacGraw (please don’t, though, she’s lovely). The point is, these aren’t special stories. They’re anecdotes and everyone has them. If you’re cool with us, we’re cool with you. The one guy in town who really does care if you’re from Hollywood is Eric Witt of the Santa Fe Film Office—and he just wants to help you make money. (MG)
We have a ton of nonprofits, and most actually do something 19
Santa Fe is awash in nonprofits. We even have nonprofits that serve nonprofits. The Santa Fe Community Foundation estimates there are around 800 nonprofits registered in Santa Fe County. There are groups devoted to getting kids to dance, adults to move creatively, all of us to think and some of us to become better caregivers. Speaking of, we care about finding homes for pets and saving historic homes from relentless progress. We have groups that want us to love music, whether sung, played or created on a computer. “I think we have a lot of
good-hearted people who see our rural community as needing those resources that can’t be found in other places,” Jamie Aranda of the Santa Fe Community Foundation tells SFR. “We work with so many that we see the great work that they do in the community. They fill gaps that businesses don’t or that the government doesn’t. It’s truly valuable.” As an added bonus, the array of community groups makes volunteering easier than ever. It’s always hard to take the first step (guilty), but once you’re plugged in, it’s a breeze and immensely rewarding. (MG)

25 All things considered, there’s very little street harassment 20
Yes, there is street harassment everywhere, including in Santa Fe. But let’s get real here: The frequency at which women experience street harassment in this town, anecdotally at least, is remarkably lower than in most places. There are the exhausting and endless “bless you, mami”s from stoops in Brooklyn, or detouring around construction sites in San Francisco to find entire new routes to work (walking for 15 more minutes is preferable to passing those guys every day). Tales abound from Austin to Adelaide. While research and advocacy group Stop Street Harassment finds that 95 percent of its survey respondents have been honked or whistled at, and 40 percent say it happens at least monthly, you deduce quickly that, when walking while female in Santa Fe, it’s not nearly as pervasive a problem here as in other places. In a very unscientific survey of a very small sample (female employees and freelancers at SFR of varying ages), four of 11 said they’d been catcalled/whistled at/honked at in Santa Fe during the last month. In many American cities, among women whose office is in a downtown area (as SFR’s is),

we’d posit that closer to 11 of 11 would have responded in the affirmative. Sure, you may have had a different experience. (Let’s make the app Hollaback!, a street harassment tracker, more popular in New Mexico, shall we?) But on the whole, dudes here keep it real. We can usually walk bar to bar without getting leered at. We can usually walk down Alameda without honks spooking our dogs. We can usually make eye contact on the street without inviting vulgarity. Bless you, papi. Usually. (CJ)

More tattooers than ever!
In the old days, Santa Fe was host to maybe, like, two good shops—and even then, it was only because Four Star founder-artists Mark Vigil and Dawn Purnell went their separate ways. Today, however, we’ve got more options than ever—and they’re good ones, all y’all tattoo fans. While Four Star Tattoo (825 Topeka St., 984-9131) and Dawn’s Custom (1100 Hickox St. 986-0002) keep doing their thing, Vigil’s onetime apprentice Crow B Rising has opened an appointment-only studio, Talis Fortuna (931 Shoofly St., talisfortuna.com), one-time Four Star guest artist Guido Baldini splintered off with apprentice Owen Lostetter to form Lost Cowboy Tattoo & Gallery (307 Johnson St., 983-6928), and Tina’s Ink (Santa Fe Village, 227 Don Gaspar Ave., 920-2903) can tack it if you can hack it.
Twenty-two theater companies. Twenty-two! 22
When this newspaper started putting together lists of organizations and businesses to prepare for the Best of Santa Fe nomination period, I was asked to draw up a list of theater companies. I started from memory, hit about 15; when I got stuck, I consulted Theatre Santa Fe’s website to mine the others. When I came up for air, my list was at 22 active companies—from Blue Raven Theatre, which hosted its inaugural show in November 2017, to the Santa Fe Playhouse, which was founded in 1922 and hasn’t missed a
Of course, this is a mere smattering of options, but with permanent tattooers like Scott Buffington, Jeffrey Pitt and Amelia Albright creating custom pieces alongside out-of-town guest artists like Max Ireland and Julie Bolene, this little mountain town has a lot going on. Go forth, get cut, tip well. (ADV)
season since. I define “active” as any group that puts on at least one event a year. For a small city—or, really, for any city—Santa Fe’s theater scene is on fire. The first couple weeks of January tend to be a little quiet, but once the year gets going in earnest, there is at least one theatrical production up every single weekend the rest of the year—and sometimes as many as four or five shows. And we’re not talking piddly productions; these are truly impressive, fully staged shows, whether you want Shakespeare or Arthur Miller or something brandnew from a local playwright. They’re weird (looking at you, Theater Grottesco) or emotionally challenging (Teatro Paraguas’ hard-hitting Latinx works) or colorful musical romps (have you ever attended an Artspring from those NMSA students? My god!). In short, it’s a bloomin’ petri dish in here. And SFR’s events calendar will always have the deets, so don’t miss out. (CJ)
The Supreme Court finally knocked some sense into the city attorney’s office 23
Look. We get it. Change is scary. Ranked-choice voting is new, untested ‘round these-here parts, and every day it seems like a newfangled steam engine is takin’ jobs away from stagecoach driv drivers. So when the city of Santa Fe put off using the system for a whole decade after voters changed the city charter to require its use, we understood. But consarnit, only to a point, ya hear? The software was initially expensive. And explaining how it works does take some doing, but as state District Court Judge David Thom Thomson pointed out, it’s the will of the people. Nearly two out of three people who voted for the change in 2008 said it shall be so. So when the system became available and affordable and other cities started using it (San Francisco,
24
Minneapolis, Oakland), it kind of seemed we were at that point. Instead, the city fought the measure kicking and screaming, finally saying that, despite no one we can recall bringing up the issue over the past 10 years, the whole darn thing was unconstitutional. Huh? In 2008, the people spoke on a measure that was vetted by a special commission and by the thencity attorney and the then-City Council. This fall, the now-city attorney’s office argued it’s patently against the constitution. Seeking to address the question, Judge Thomson dutifully listened and decided ranked-choice voting wasn’t expressly prohibited as a form of runoff election. But the city, at the behest of five councilors, felt there was still a question of constitutionality. So it appealed to the Supreme Court. The court decided the argument wasn’t even worth hearing. And that’s a body that knows a thing or two about the state constitution. Get out your rankin’ boots. (MG)
UUGE ravens everywhere
“Nevermore” or whatever, a raven said to Edgar Allan Poe somewhere in New England. In Santa Fe, the massive birds are more likely to croak from atop a utility pole, swooping down into dumpsters alone or in small packs to scavenge. They seriously look about the size of small turkeys as they soar through the sky, hawklike and jet-black. Their beaks appear to have evolved for the sole purpose of plucking out eyeballs. But we respect the ravens, truly. The ravens in Santa Fe “are actually smaller than other subspecies” of the bird, says Scot Pipkin, director of community education at the Randall Davey Audubon Center. There are bigger ravens further north, although if you travel east or south into the grasslands, you might encounter a smaller variety called Chihuahuan ravens. Ravens can look a lot like crows, which are also common in Santa Fe and the continental US, but there are some easy ways to tell them apart:
Ravens are a lot bigger and have a diamond-shaped tail. Crows make a caw sound, while ravens tend to emit guttural noises, and are usually alone or in pairs (though they can be in larger groups when they’re circling around a large source of food). Pipkin says ravens are some of the smartest birds in our region. “They have extremely diverse vocalizations [when] they are communicating,” Pipkin says. Even though they may look menacing, ravens aren’t a threat to humans or pets. They have been known to “test boundaries,” sauntering up behind dogs or cats and tugging on their tail to gauge their reaction. They aren’t known to eat pets—the bigger danger there would be the great horned owl—but they do like to play around. So, if you run into a raven in public, just chill. Even better, scatter some food around for them. Human scraps are largely what they’ve evolved to eat. (AC)
More movie screens per capita than pretty much anywhere else 25
The movie screen situation here is out of control in the very best way. Let’s say Santa Fe is home to roughly 80,000 people. And now let’s say that we cut that in half to account for things like the tooold, too-young, too-sick. We’ve hit 40,000. Cut in half again for people who just don’t like going to movies. That’s 20,000. Cut it again for people who travel a lot, work elsewhere or are otherwise engaged. We’re at 10,000. OK, now cut it in half one last time, just for funsies, and we’re
at 5,000. These people have five movie houses to choose from, ranging from the mainstream hits at Regal Cinemas, the artistic tour de forces at the Center for Contemporary Arts, The Screen and the Jean Cocteau Cinema and all points in between at Violet Crown. By this completely bulletproof math, one could surmise that the entire movie going public of Santa Fe might realistically fill out the theaters in town weekly with seats to spare, and that ain’t half bad.

LEGISLATORS: Please do not vote for PNM’s Corporate Welfare Bill. Senate Bill 47 and House Bill 80 asks you to approve: 1. A payment by ratepayers — that’s us — of 350 million dollars to the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) for the coal plant profits it would have made if San Juan stayed open until 2053 (NO U.S.A. coal plant has remained open for 85 years); 2. San Juan is now scheduled to close in 2022 because it is uneconomic. PNM’s coal plants
can’t compete against less costly solar and wind;
3. PNM’s management has continued to invest hundreds of millions in its
toxic coal plants that are more expensive, contribute to climate change, pollute the land, air and water, and generate more than $50 million in annual health care costs like asthma and heart disease;
4. SB 47/HB 80 will expand PNM’s monopoly control over electric generation and require that all replacement energy power be owned by PNM — to the exclusion of other energy market producers, suppressing energy competition and jobs.
This virtually guarantees that we will pay more for our energy because there will be no open competition from other businesses or opportunities for job creation by those businesses.
5. PNM is trying to do an end-run around the NM regulatory process because they know they would never get 100% of their supposed lost future revenue from ratepayers before the NMPRC. They are also attempting to circumvent the evidentiary hearing process where they would have to divulge information about the costs of cleanup and the impacts of their coal plant retirements on mine workers & local communities. 6. This bill is a blank check from ratepayers to PNM’s Wall St. shareholders — the bill as written does not stop at San Juan’s failed costs, it is written as an open-ended avenue for PNM to recoup its losses. This bill could be used by PNM to recoup from ratepayers its unprofitable investments at the Four Corners coal plant, inadequate funds for reclamation and decommissioning trusts in many of PNM’s coal, nuclear, and gas plants.
www.NoPNMbailout.net
An alternative bill must: 1) split the San Juan abandonment costs; 2) no monopoly on replacement power; and 3) fully vet regulatory issues.
THE PEOPLE ARE DEPENDING ON YOU AND ARE WATCHING. NO BAILOUT FOR PNM AT OUR EXPENSE. WE JUST CAN’T AFFORD IT! NEW MEXICO

TECH disparate people together despite liminal challenges are more enduring. I asked Coleman what, if any, outcome she might want for people learning more about Anonymous, beyond a fascinating look into an otherwise difficult-to-access culture. “They use lots of tactics; some are not controversial, others are controversial,” Coleman says, “but I do think that a lot of people can learn something and draw something positive from a group of people who are willing to not simply talk about what they believe in, but do something.” Anonymous’ anonymity also can be used as a lens through which to consider the problematic nature of online discourse. While anonymity can and, at least in my view, likely has contributed to the decline of civilized discourse (see: current president of the United States), Coleman offers another takeaway: Anonymous has been willing to act on its beliefs and “to do so as well without needing fame and recognition.” It was the first movement, she says, in which “people were willing to put aside personal fame for the collective good, and I think that’s really important [given] how predicated on individualism and celebrity” society has become (see: current president of the United States). Coleman acknowledges the interest-

hreats to contemporary society— be they aimed at democracy’s concepts or its infrastructure—often seem, at least to me, all the more threatening because they are discarnate and capricious. See: fake news, identity theft, crippling malware, et cetera. And yet I love the TV show Mr. Robot, in which hackers are heroes who unite to fight the pervasive and insidious specter of corporate and government control. The book Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous examines, among many other issues, such contradictory responses endemic to our current internet age. Author and anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out in 2007 after seeing a video posted by the online political collective Anonymous. She sought to understand the group and, as anthropologists do, embedded herself in its culture and customs. Coleman, the Wolfe Chair in Scientific and Technological Literacy at McGill University in Montreal, this week delivers a lecture in Santa Fe on her experiences and concomitant theses as part of the School for Advanced
Research public lecture series. Coleman also is the author of Coding Freedom: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Hacking. Part of Coleman’s talk will focus on the question of why the government did not target Anonymous as cyberterrorists, despite the collective’s actions. Anonymous has been involved in hundreds of political activist operations, among them hacking Tunisian government websites in 2011 and catalyzing the Occupy Wall Street movement. Coleman says the half-dozen reasons why Anonymous escaped the “cyberterrorism frame” include its use of the Guy Fawkes mask (already popularized by the film V for Vendetta), as well as “the fact that Anonymous was memorialized in positive ways in pop culture. Mr. Robot was one of a dozen different forms of entertainment, from ballet to plays, that picked Anonymous up.” Coleman’s book marries a compulsive narrative populated with dramatic characters and actions to an analysis that deepens the significance of cyber culture, where Anonymous was born. Her explication, for example, of “lulz” extends beyond mere demystification of vernacular into the broad anthropological context of tricksters. But Coleman’s vantage point, despite being seeped in technology, is fundamentally humanistic; Anonymous may have formed in a certain time and space— it coalesced on 4chan, an online message board—but the impulses that brought

ing tension permeating society between collective fear regarding cyber-hacking (a la Home Depot, the DNC and Equifax) alongside the growing commitment to online privacy. While these two threads may conflict in practice, they both point to the need to understand the culture and technology at play in what Coleman describes as a “post-Snowden” world, referring of course to former CIA agent Edward Snowden who leaked classified National Security Agency documents. Coleman’s public talk is one of several SAR has planned this year that tackle interdisciplinary concerns related to technology and society. In March, anthropologist Natasha Dow Schüll will discuss wearable technology; a lecture in June features New Yorker journalist Elizabeth Kolbert on “the fate of the earth.” Kolbert has reported and written extensively on climate change. SAR oversees an extensive collection of Native American art as well as numerous Indigenous art initiatives. But the organization also has grown its programs on emerging social science issues. SAR President Michael Brown says since he came on board three and a half years ago, “we’ve been working … to beef up our public programs in ways we think will be interesting to the general public; there are a lot of highly educated adult learners who want to stay active intellectually.” And, he notes, there’s a “hunger” for knowledge and conversation on topics related to technology. Approaching some of these topics through anthropology certainly makes them more robust, but also is in line with anthropology itself—which, Brown notes, “is becoming a lot more diverse and focused on different venues.” Including virtual ones.

THE TIME IS NOW Activist fatigue. It’s real. We know. We have it something fierce. But take comfort: This event is not a march; you can stand mostly still. On Jan. 22, 1973—that’s 45 years ago—the Supreme Court decided the landmark Roe v. Wade case, protecting women’s right to safe and legal abortion. That victory runs the risk of erosion every day, so show your support for a woman’s right to choose when Santa Fe NOW presents this event with keynote speaker Debra Haaland (Laguna), a candidate for US Congress. Plus, there will be cake—for all your sheetcaking needs. (Charlotte Jusinski)

BOOKS/LECTURE TUE/30 HIGH WATTAGE British philosopher-speaker Alan Watts might be best known as the foremost interpreter and shepherd of Zen Buddhism and Eastern wisdom to the Western world, but we haven’t always had the most intimate understanding of the man himself. This could change, however, thanks to a new book of his personal letters curated by his daughters, Joan and Ann Watts. The Collected Letters of Alan Watts is a glorious compendium of correspondence between Watts and those close to him; get acquainted at an upcoming reading with his granddaughter Myra Krien (herself founder of local Pomegranate Studios and Mosaic Dance Company). “I’m hoping to inspire people and share [his work] with younger people,” Krien tells SFR. “I think he’s so accessible, so funny and engaging—he was very reassuring, and I think we need that right now.” (ADV) The Collected Letters of Alan Watts Reading with Myra Krien: 6:30 pm Tuesday Jan. 30. Free. Collected Works Coffeehouse and Bookstore, 202 Galisteo St., 988-4226.
LECTURE SAT/27
Ride Your Bi-Sickle Bike trip turned life-altering experience culminates in slideshow for the masses “We’re both just a little bit crazy,” photographer Erin Azouz says of herself and partner Mehedi van Hattum with a laugh. Together, the couple traveled by bike from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to the northernmost regions of Peru over a period of 14 months, and now they share tales from the road and stunning photos at an event this week at Travel Bug Coffee Shop. “I’m a photographer and I’ve always just wanted to drop everything and travel the world with my camera,” Azouz continues, “and Mehedi is an avid cyclist who always wanted to travel the world by bicycle.” The sojourn was partially crowdfunded and sponsored in part by clean energy startup BioLite. All in all, Azouz and van Hattum would trek over 6,000 miles across 10 countries, amassing thousands of photographs. They’d have continued another 9,000 miles to Patagonia, too, but the untimely death of Azouz’ grandmother brought them back to the states early. “And we really had about 60 dollars in our bank account, but hopefully we’ll pick it up again,” Azouz says. “We made it a little more than halfway.” If Azouz gets her way, the trip will continue with additional sponsorships
rather than crowdfunding, and she envisions a book and exhibition down the road. But the main takeaway, she says, were the daily epiphanies. “I was very much like, ‘Who am I? What am I? How do I push past my boundaries?’” she explains. “But I really look at the journey like, this is a journey everyone is on— and you may not be riding a bike in Latin America—and everyone gets to a place in their journey where they’re going to question things. But it doesn’t matter how big or small your dream is, you absolutely can make it happen.” Get pumped up for your own dreams with Azouz and van Hattum this Saturday during their hour-long slideshow and discussion. “We’re adaptable, human beings,” Azouz adds. “Anything we want to accomplish, we can.” Did we mention she learned Spanish on the trip? Yup. (Alex De Vore)

Troy Browne isn’t in it for your stupid accolades
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
here’s a funny thing that seems to happen with musicians on a local level—they start to take themselves really seriously. Like, painfully so. If people aren’t paying the right kind of attention, if venues aren’t paying out the right kind of money, if music writers aren’t in the right kind of awe, they don’t seem to like it. And that’s fine, I guess—but for a dude like me, musician Troy Browne is a breath of fresh air, even if mentioning that is bound to come with Facebook posts about how I suck. But, I digress. I like Browne. He’s very no-nonsense and has an interesting take on what he’s doing live, and though recordings exist, cutting an album doesn’t seem to matter. Generally speaking, Browne performs covers, though they usually come from acts that people either forgot long ago or never knew in the first place, and he tweaks them into his own style. It would be fair to call his stuff Americana (he even tells me that he “rolled up a lot of American styles”), but there are any number of elements from classic country and blues to rock and pop. Browne came up in a relatively musical house in Orange County, California, though his mother and stepfather were hippies; “and I mean literally,” Browne says. He spent time playing in the school
the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles, he and his wife moved to Albuquerque. She waited tables and completed a degree in fine art photography at the University of New Mexico; he got into construction and electrician work. “But I did an inventory and took stock and realized there was no amount of money that would make up for how I wasn’t happy doing it,” Browne says. “And so we moved to Santa Fe.” During this time, he got his general contractor license and his wife worked in the arts; life was ultimately good but, he says, he was struggling with alcoholism. Sure, his guitars came with him, and he’d pick them up now and then, but it wasn’t until his daughter was nearing 2 years old that he finally decided to get sober. Cut to two or three years later and Browne, still sober, realized that if he was going to get back into music, this was the time. “This is when Case Tanner came into the picture,” Browne recalls. “This was back when [Case] was doing the open mic at Second Street Brewery in the Railyard, and after a few times showing up, he asked if the open mic was all I was going to do; I said yeah, and he said, ‘That’s not good enough.’” By his next open mic slot, Tanner informed Browne that he was booked at the Cowgirl. “He just said, ‘It’s three months out, don’t let me down,’” Browne explains. “And I thought, ‘Yeah, that’s some good motivation.’” Since then, he’s become COURTESY TROY BROWNE

band and dabbling with instruments like the trumpet and the drums. “And then somewhere within the dysfunction of my family,” he explains, “I found the guitar, and I never put it down.” He was around 13, and says it might have had something to do with stories about his “real” father, apparently a folk singer, and that in his own way he was trying to grow closer to the man. They’re in touch now, Browne tells me, though it’s hardly a perfect relationship. As for the guitar, Browne took basic lessons but is primarily self-taught. We agree that something about the bad habits inherent in teaching oneself an instrument can make for an interesting player and, really, talent is ultimately relative. Browne married and moved to Venice Beach in the early ’90s, but following
a mainstay at venues like the Cowgirl and Totemoff’s, but those early shows were far from perfect and Browne can admit that. “It doesn’t matter how good you are or how good you think you are, you’ve still gotta get in front of people in a real, honest way,” he says. “There

were a lot of moments where I couldn’t believe I was even trying to do it; I have to think it took a lot of guts and patience for Case to allow me to find my way back to music.” “It’s not all talk—he plays the material with sincerity and conviction,” Tanner tells SFR. “It’s never, ‘Let me tell you how great I am.’ It’s more, ‘This is what I do and it’s well-executed.’” Find out for yourself on Wednesday at the good ol’ Cowgirl. Says Browne, “At the end of the day, am I entertaining? Are people enjoying what I’m putting out there? I’m hopeful, and I seem to get a pretty good response.”

My father left my mother abruptly when I was 14 years old, and he hasn’t contacted either of us since. It was a crushing blow for her, and she retreated from the world. She was never bitter about it, but it was devastating. She lost the love of her life for no apparent reason and was left completely alone, except for me. We have both done our best to forget about him. We were extremely close for the next four years and actually slept in the same bed every night. Eventually, we began doing something that most people would consider evil but neither of us has ever regretted. It was just something that happened. And it wasn’t something that just happened once—it went on for two years and ended only when I left to go to university. I haven’t thought about this for years, and it is something my mother and I have never discussed. She has since remarried and seems perfectly fine. But even today, we sometimes send each other friendly messages that are vaguely suggestive. The problem is I mentioned it to my wife recently and she went ballistic. She called me and my mother sick and moved into another bedroom and refuses to have sex with me. I wish I had never mentioned it, but it was part of a truth-or-dare session we were having. This has been the situation for the last three months. I have finally lost my patience and I am thinking of leaving. I have never cheated on my wife or hurt her, either physically or emotionally, and I have supported her financially while she studies at university. I have mentioned going to a counselor, but she refuses and claims that she is married to a monster and that no woman would want me. We don’t have any children—so if I were to leave, I wouldn’t be disrupting an innocent’s life. Do you have any advice? -Truthful Revelation Unmakes Two Happy Spouses I’m not a professional counselor, TRUTHS, but I’m gonna climb out on a limb and say that a game of truth or dare isn’t the right time to reveal an incestuous sexual relationship with a parent. Dr. Hani Miletski and Dr. Joe Kort, on the other hand, are professionals: Dr. Miletski is a psychotherapist and a sex therapist, and Dr. Kort is a sex and relationship therapist. Both are certified by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists, and both are authors—Dr. Miletski literally wrote the book on the subject of mother-son incest: Mother-Son Incest: The Unthinkable Broken Taboo Persists. “There’s no wonder his wife is so upset,” said Dr. Miletski. “Sexual relations between mother and son are considered the most taboo form of incest.” Dr. Miletski told me it isn’t uncommon for a woman who has been abandoned by her husband to turn to an adolescent son for emotional comfort. “These women are often very insecure and needy,” said Dr. Miletski. “Unbeknownst to the son—and sometimes to the mother—the son begins to feel responsible for his mother’s well-being and emotional support. The son becomes ‘parentified’ and is treated by his mother as a substitute husband. Occasionally, this close relationship between a mother and her son evolves into a sexual relationship, and the substitute husband becomes her lover as well. The situation described in this letter sounds exactly like that. And while I’m glad this man believes he has not been affected by this boundary violation, [the fact that he and his mother are] sending suggestive messages to each other may suggest otherwise.” Dr. Miletski prefers not to use terms like “abuse” or “trauma” unless the person involved uses those terms themselves—which you didn’t, TRUTHS, but I’m going to go ahead and use them. Here goes: You say you have no regrets, and you don’t mention feeling traumatized by the experience, but the absence of trau-

ma doesn’t confer some sort of retroactive, after-the-fact immunity on your mother. She is responsible for her actions—actions that were abusive and highly likely to leave you traumatized. “In the mental-health field, we have a growing body of work showing that not everyone who is abused is necessarily traumatized,” said Dr. Kort. “I have seen countless men who have been sexually abused by their mothers who do not label it as abuse because they were not traumatized. But his mother seduced him, dismissing the sexual and emotional needs of a teenage boy. There is no other way to describe this other than abuse, however consensual he may have perceived it to be at the time.” But that was then, TRUTHS. What do you do about your situation now? “Unfortunately, I don’t think his wife will ever be able to put this revelation behind her,” said Dr. Miletski. “I think his best bet is to leave her, move on, and seek therapy. A therapist will help him deal with the emotional upset of the breakup with his wife, as well as process what happened with his mother.” Dr. Kort sees some hope—albeit slim—for your marriage. “To gain empathy and compassion from his wife, TRUTHS should be willing to listen to her concerns, fear, and anger,” said Dr. Kort. “He also needs to invite her to have compassion and empathy for the vulnerable position he was in—but he cannot do that until he has some compassion for himself. Untreated, the abuse he suffered from his mother, as well as the loss and grief over his father, could be troubling to his wife and their relationship. Perhaps if he ever has children, the reality of the abuse will hit him. Parents don’t have children to turn them into lovers.” And, once again, people probably shouldn’t reveal incestuous relationships to their current partner during a game of truth or dare. You can find Dr. Miletski’s books and learn more about her work at DrMiletski.com. You can find Dr. Kort’s books and learn more about his work at JoeKort.com and on Twitter @drjoekort. I’m writing you to ask about a friend of mine. He’s a gifted artist who hasn’t truly dedicated himself to his art. It’s as if he’s afraid of success. He’s also a so-called “womanizer,” and every time he meets an interesting woman who’s into him, he inevitably fucks it up. For this reason and some others (that I won’t mention), I believe he’s a repressed homosexual. Let’s just assume that he is. Every time we talk, maybe once or twice a year, he recounts his latest fuckups with women (and everything else). During the last call, I was very close to asking him if he was sure about his sexual orientation. I believe that what makes him unable to face this aspect of his life is interfering with everything else, too. I would like to be able to talk openly about it with him without hurting him. Do you have any tips? -Artist Failing At Relationships Sometimes a cigar isn’t just a cigar—but an unsuccessful heterosexual is almost always just that. Unless the details you didn’t share include, say, a massive collection of gay porn or messy closet-case classics like drunken lunges at male friends or running for Congress on a “family values” platform, your friend will have to remain in the hetero column for now. That said, if you believe a solid gay ass pounding would jar loose the professional and romantic success that has thus far eluded your friend, go ahead and ask him if he’s a “repressed homosexual.” It might cost you his friendship, AFAR, but someone who calls only once or twice a year to recount his romantic fuckups doesn’t sound like much of a friend anyway.

AC Clint grew up in Santa Fe, but after attending both UC Santa Cruz in California and Emerson College in Boston, she made a name for herself in the digital and social media spheres in places such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. Clint cut her teeth working for brands like The Simpsons and companies like Disney, becoming a bona fide expert in her fields, but now she’s back in her hometown writin’ books, kickin’ asses and takin’ names. Clint reads from and signs her new title, Conquer Your Mind: 307 Affirmations to Create Confidence, Love, Wealth, Fulfillment, & Freedom to Finally Live the Life You Want, this Sunday at op.cit. Books in the DeVargas Center (1:30 pm. Free. 157 Paseo de Peralta, 428-0321). (Alex De Vore)
What were you doing, exactly, and what brought you back? I burned out in the tech industry, but also I was ready for something more low-key. I was hitting the stage of life where I wanted a back yard, but I was in San Francisco in that one-bedroom apartment with that two-hour commute, and I just realized it was time. ‘Internet magician’ is my new title but, for a long time, not by choosing, my title was ‘social media consultant.’ Literally the only thing they’d pay me for out of college was social media. Don’t take this the wrong way, but the book sounds kind of new-agey. I understand that, and I try to add science into my theories. I make sure it’s all science-backed to a certain degree, and I can’t argue with the science. Positive thinking helps soldiers persevere, and it helps people live longer—all the people who live past 100 are easy-going types. In general, I think a lot of people are doing it backwards—they think happiness will be a product of success, but it’s the happier people who wind up being successful. I was burned out recently, pretty severely, and I was dealing with intense depression and a loss of identity. And even though I’m the first person to call this stuff hocus-pocus, I can’t argue with the results. It’s definitely work and practice, but I would say the greatest thinkers throughout time are aware that how you think is reflected in your reality. So, how about a little advice? I think there are a lot of different steps to it. Affirmations are cool, but I don’t think you can start there and there will be a shift. The next time something bad happens to you, look at how you interpreted that. I would say look at that narrative and try to change it and remind yourself it’s temporary, a unique situation. I’ve noticed it starts to become a snowball effect. Grateful, happy people seem to attract more things to be grateful and happy for.

Even in Santa Fe, there aren’t that many places you can sit down for quality food and bring your nonservice dog. Loyal Hound, operating on St. Michael’s Drive since 2014, saw a niche and has built a steady following in that space. If you want to bring your own pooch, however, you’ll miss the restaurant’s casual, midsized dining room because you’ll have to sit in the front patio area. After starting off with a house-made German-style softbaked pretzel ($5), we ordered bison short rib nachos ($13) and Southern fried chicken and waffles ($15); a placid pit bull at a neighboring table eyed our

dishes as our waitress set them down in front of us. The fried batter of the chicken soaked up the maple syrup, and was tasty stuffed alongside apple fennel cole slaw inside folded pieces of waffle like tacos. The bison meat was juicy and well-marinated, but there was so much of it that it felt like eating a pile of meat atop a heap of chips. Then again, my mutt Indy—who I regrettably didn’t bring this time around—would have leapt at the chance to help me finish my meal. (Aaron Cantú)

HAPPY HOUR 4 - 6:30 PM Daily www.secondstreetbrewery.com
Paper Dosa When food makes you feel good—not stuffed, not slow, not sleepy—it’s a wonderful thing. Chef Paulraj Karuppasamy and his wife and business partner Nellie Tischler started their South Indian food venture as a pop-up concept and have since gone all-in on a brick-andmortar restaurant, where a recent visit found them celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary with an end-of-shift meal on the restaurant’s pleasant patio. They, of course, went immediately back to work. Dosas are huge pancakes made from a fermented batter, stuffed with a bevy of healthy ingredients from traditional to adventurous. The menu is a flavor explosion and the $35 tasting option is a smart one. The classic masala dosa ($10) is a great introduction,
though the dish lends itself to sharing and the menu’s variety makes choosing anything that sounds good a safe bet. The lightly fried kale and onion pakora ($9) is a comfortably spiced, crunchy appetizer that benefits from a tasty eggplant chutney. The peach and avocado salad ($9) comes atop a butter and fancy-lettuce combo and is tossed with a peach-cilantro dressing and pumpkin seeds. Add a selection of curries as well as thicker uttapam pancakes, and you’ll be glad to you tried something new— while likely finding a favorite that will keep you coming back.

With Looming Threat of Tariffs on Panels, NOW is the time to Get Solar
Seize the moment for unprecedented low installation costs
The price of solar has fallen dramatically. Installation costs are now half what they were in 2008 and 100 times less than what they were back in 1978. But new action from the White House could undo much of this progress. President Trump is now threatening to place tariffs on imports of solar panels—an action that could double the cost of solar panels and destroy up to 88,000 jobs in the solar industry. If you’ve considered going solar in order to cut your energy bills, get more predictable utility rates, and help reduce pollution, this is the time to act. Earlier this year, an Atlanta-based solar manufacturer petitioned the US government to put trade restrictions on imported panels. It now appears likely that Trump, acting under authority from a 1974 trade law, may apply the punishing tariffs on solar imports. It’s unclear whether the actions would boost the manufacturers’ business. But one thing is clear: The tariffs could double the price of solar panels. 2017 was already an exceptional time to go solar. The federal government’s 30% tax credit is set to start scaling down soon. New Mexico’s current “Net Metering” law makes solar a smart investment. Solar technologies are more efficient and reliable than ever, and rates of customer satisfaction are at record levels. With climate change and air quality threats demanding attention, installing solar is an effective way to contribute to a clean environment. Consumer Reports — one of the nation’s leading personal finance publications — recently declared that “there has probably never been a better time to switch to solar.” But Trump’s protectionist threat against the solar industry may be the biggest reason to act now. Tariffs could eliminate much of the progress on solar prices. You can still take advantage of today’s record-low solar costs if you seize the moment to make your investment in solar today.
CALL SUNPOWER BY POSITIVE ENERGY SOLAR: Our experienced team will meet with you to understand your energy goals, provide design options, inform you on available tax incentives, and show how much you can save on electric bills.

Hostiles Review
BEST MOVIE EVER
Good for New Mexico, only OK for audiences

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

At about the 10th scene that finds its principal cast gathered around a campfire silently distrustful of one another, it starts to feel like Hostiles, the new Western from Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper, could have focused more effort elsewhere. It is late-1800s New Mexico; a post-Wounded Knee, post-Little Big Horn world where the white settlers simply take whatever land they want and the Indigenous people are understandably (like, 100 percent understandably) pissed. But when aging US Army Captain Joe Blocker (Christian Bale) is forced to free and transport a dying Native prisoner named Chief Yellow Hawk (hometown hero Wes Studi) to Montana so he can die of cancer in peace and among his people, the divisions between mankind slowly fade and everyone involved learns valuable lessons—or dies trying. Along for the ride are various other soldiers and Yellow Hawk’s family, plus the recently widowed and childless Rosalie Quaid (Rosamund Pike), whose family was cut down by Natives not of Yellow Hawk’s ilk. Every step of the way is rife with further terror, and every mile gained seems

+ NEW MEXICO ON FULL DISPLAY - LOPSIDED NARRATIVE
to present new obstacles; from racial tensions and violent fur trappers to ruthless fellow soldiers and the unforgiving elements. Hostiles is an absolutely gorgeous view of New Mexico and the hardscrabble way of life during the era, but when it comes right down to it, the bigger picture it tries to present winds up feeling diluted. Yes, Bale is the draw here, and we get how the business of movies works, but Studi’s performance as the once-formidable Yellow Hawk could have hit much harder had they given him a few more lines or some definitive moment. We’re honestly left to believe that Bale’s character just kind of comes to release his hatred toward Indigenous people by the end with very little input from Yellow Hawk, other than a thoughtful word here or there. Seriously, though, one solid monologue from Studi could have completely turned this thing around.
Which isn’t to say it’s all bad. Breaking Bad alum Jesse Plemons comes in with a solid supporting role, and Ben Foster (Hell or High Water) shows up briefly as an unexpected villainous type who does have an interesting point about who ought cast the first stone. Even Pike’s ultimate badass moment makes some otherwise bizarre missteps with her character totally worth it. Sad, though, that the narrative skews more toward the white folk, even if they’re presented as monsters more often than not—but we certainly won’t say our perspective on a number of things didn’t shift. HOSTILES Directed by Cooper With Bale, Studi, Pike, Plemons and Foster Violet Crown, R, 134 min.

+ LAWTHER; AUTHENTICITY - ABIGAIL BRESLIN JUST AIN’T GOOD
Whereas high school is, for most, a miserable labyrinth of social pressures and abject cruelty, it’s much worse for young Billy Bloom in Freak Show from director Trudie Styler (based on the novel by James St. James). Billy (Alex Lawther) is queer and theatrical, a firm believer in pageantry and over-the-top outfits spurred by his melodramatic and alcoholic mother (Bette Midler as an uncharacteristic waste of space) who sends him to live with his estranged father in such-and-such conservative small town, the South, USA. Billy fears nothing, though he probably should—from the dumb-dumb jocks and Bible-thumping cheerleader types (led by a barely-there Abigail Breslin) to homophobic teachers and closeted gay teens who handle their confusion through violence and loud, public proclamations of “Faggot!” But through it all, our young hero remains undeterred, even deciding to run for Homecoming Queen—and it is glorious. Not only do we find Billy a sympathetic figure stuck between a set of parents who seemingly couldn’t be more indifferent and the archaic South, but he never once falters in

his sense of self, even as he’s ridiculed and bullied and beaten within an inch of his life. Lawther absolutely becomes Billy Bloom, exuding kindness and fearlessness in the face of constant hatred and taking a stand for the “shadow people,” so-called freaks from his school who fight daily just to remain unnoticed by the villainous popular set. Billy does have allies, however, from the young woman whose name no one seems to know (AnnaSophia Robb) to the impossibly handsome football hero Flip (Ian Nelson), who maybe doesn’t like the usual guy stuff as much as the student body wishes he would. Director Styler nails the authenticity here, both in the motivations and actions of teens to the burdens they carry under familial, academic and sexual pressures. But this is Lawther’s show, and he does not disappoint. Freak Show should, in fact, become required viewing; for adolescents who feel lost and bullies who act from a place of pain, or even just parents who don’t quite realize what they might be doing to their children. There’s a realism in Freak Show that brilliantly encapsulates the tsunami of disappointments faced by youths, but still, it holds on tight to that one thing that shines brightest and helps us operate day by day: hope. Oh, and Laverne Cox is in it, so … score. (Alex De Vore) Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 95 min. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Paul Thomas Anderson directs Daniel Day-Lewis in his final film, Phantom Thread.
PHANTOM THREAD
9
+ DANIEL DAY-LEWIS ALWAYS SLAYS - PERHAPS NOT WIDELY ACCESSIBLE
Paul Thomas Anderson’s newest film reunites him with There Will Be Blood star Daniel DayLewis, but the bulk of its promotion has had something or other to do with Day-Lewis’ announcement that it would be his final film. Le sigh. Fitting, then, that they’d go out with a bang and healthy dose of Anderson’s patented tortured-genius narrative style. Day-Lewis is Reynolds Woodcock, a highly sought-after and eccentric dress designer in London circa 1950-something. The dresses are gorgeous, his ego less so, and his relationships with his sister (Lesley Manville) and modelmuses both are strained, if not downright abusive and fleeting. Strange, then, that he’d fall so quickly and deeply for young Alma (Vicky Krieps). The pair becomes inseparable, though neither is truly who the other believes; the work suffers, the relationship falters, the price of genius is laid bare. Day-Lewis, as always, disappears completely into the role, bringing equal parts intensity and narcissistic charm to the talented yet childish Reynolds. The man always gets his way, even as those around him take great, pained strides
to accommodate his nonsense. Alma becomes his match, though, proving there are nearly no depths to which she won’t sink to render him helpless in her care. Krieps shines in her more vulnerable moments, transitioning from starryeyed country girl to sneakily cutthroat hanger-on. Is she in awe of Reynolds’ work and ethics, or does she simply gravitate toward him because it seems he could live without her? Even she can’t decide, perhaps, but even in her darker moments we understand—or at least try to—how she could hurt so bad and act so recklessly. Anderson, of course, wrote and directed the film, and music from Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood (who also scored There Will Be Blood) is so subtle yet so essential that it drives us in a way few other scores really can without us ever noticing, moving seamlessly from minimalist, noise-adjacent moments of tension to light and airy jazz-like tunes during brief happy respites. Day-Lewis has remained adamant that he doesn’t wish to discuss his retirement with the world at large, and that’s fine—but it really is a shame he’s chosen to call it quits. Reynolds may not prove to be his most-remembered role, though it certainly does allow him to go out strong. Phantom Thread is jarring and challenging, but unlike almost anything else out there. Surely that’s worth your attention. (ADV) Violet Crown, R, 130 min.
+ JOURNO MOVIE DONE RIGHT! - PROTESTING CROWD SCENES WERE OVER-THE-TOP
How hopeful for our future that Hollywood produced a prequel that’s not fiction about a galaxy far, far away. Released 42 years after Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman won hearts for journalism on the big screen, The Post is what happened just before All the President’s Men—the story of the story that finally took United States troops out of Vietnam. At its locus is Daniel Ellsberg (Matthew Rhys), who you could think of the Edward Snowden of the analog era. The sheer mechanics of his leaking thousands of pages of top-secret Pentagon files to the New York Times required months of late-night copy sessions on a machine half the size of a Volkswagen. (From typewriters to rotary phones, hot lead setters and the printing press, it’s a kick to watch the machines in the movie—all thrummed along by an emotional score from John Williams.) When the paper was halfway through a front-page series, a judge enjoined the Times against printing any more about the top-secret documents, and the competing Post got in on the story. Director Steven Spielberg focuses on the evolution of publisher Katharine Graham (Meryl Streep) at the side of pirate editor Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) as they navigate the choppy waters that ensue. Streep’s Graham is more heroine in our book than Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, and we’d make the argument that her courage as the head of her father’s newspaper, a woman in a man’s world, is a bigger stride for feminism than swordfighting in a skirt. It’s her newspaper now. (Or it was, until it went public—and now, um, Amazon has it or something, but that’s another story.) Hanks brings to Bradlee the gravely voice and straight-from-the-newsroom aggression that the editor was known for, and Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) is a treasure as tenacious reporter Ben Bagdikian. We can’t wait to hear some of these iconic lines again. (Julie Ann Grimm) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-14, 116 min.
the charge in I, Tonya from director Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl), we do get an inside glimpse at Harding and her outliers, ultimately gaining much-needed perspective toward a sympathetic figure who was more tragic victim of circumstance than maniacal villain. Robbie completely dominates as Harding, an abused and disadvantaged skater with stars in her eyes and just enough terrible hangers-on to make it all impossible. Whether skating was her own dream or one thrust upon her remains unclear, but as the first US athlete to pull off the mind-bogglingly difficult triple axel jump, she clearly had talent. Still, it was either unappreciated by snobby professional figure skating entities or squandered by her ruthless, self-interested mother (played brilliantly by recent Golden Globe winner Allison Janney) and abusive husband Jeff Gillooly (Sebastian Stan). According to the film, if Harding’s mother wasn’t hitting her, her husband was and, all the while, poverty prevented her from

being presentable in the eyes of judges. Things get pretty rough, but Robbie’s performance perfectly defines a flawed anti-heroine for whom things might have worked out so differently if not for her hot-headed temper and piss-poor relationships. We get the things out of her control almost immediately, and we really do feel for her—especially upon learning it was Gillooly’s thick-headed pal/Harding’s bodyguard, Shawn, who had planned and executed the incident. This isn’t to say, however, that I, Tonya isn’t also very funny at times. Super Troopers’ Paul Walter Hauser sneaks up on you as the idiotic Shawn, and Julianne Nicholson (Black Mass) has an understated excellence as Harding’s coach and more positive maternal figure. Still, it’s Robbie who makes the film worth watching, even if its faux-documentary style errs a little more toward Ferris Bueller than Goodfellas. She showcases a natural depth and emotional access heretofore unseen from the relative rookie, and it couldn’t have been easy to make an audience root for a figure once so hated. All the same, at this point, Robbie could probably do whatever she felt like. We’d line up to see it. (ADV) Violet Crown, R, 120 min. THE MIDNIGHT MAN

+ BETTER THAN YOU’D EXPECT - A LITTLE TOO FAMILIAR FOR HORROR BUFFS
IFC continues to fund second-tier horror movies (like that one SFR recently reviewed called Devil’s Gate), but may have finally stumbled upon something not entirely terrible with The Midnight Man. Like an amalgam of nouveau horror tropes pulled from films like The Ring, A Nightmare on Elm Street and the original Jumanji (y’heard us), The Midnight Man becomes part teenaged slasher flick, part supernatural thriller and part mystery, and it’s actually a fairly fun little romp. When young Alex (horror mainstay Gabrielle Haugh) must stay with her grandmother Anna (played by Lin Shaye, who most will probably remember as the gross landlady Woody Harrelson must bed in the 1996 comedy Kingpin) for … some reason … and stumbles upon a seemingly homemade game with her platonic bud Miles (Grayson Gabriel), the pair decides it might be cool to play. Turns out, though, that it’s the workings of some ancient

pagan demon who can fully make you live your worst fears before he straight-up punches your face clean off. Ruh-roh. Meanwhile, a spooky doctor who probably knows more than he’s letting on (Robert Englund, aka Freddie Krueger) and Alex’s grandma just keep making things worse while the Midnight Man himself pops in, manifesting horrible visions of brutal death. OK, so it’s a little goofy, and we’d point out that a great rule of horror is to never show the monster unless it’s completely horrifying (2013’s Mama being a pretty apt example of when it’s a good plan to reveal)—advice this movie sidesteps almost immediately— but The Midnight Man winds up being not so bad. There are a few twists you didn’t see coming, some pretty cool CGI that really sells the atmosphere and the cinematography is surprisingly excellent. Not too shabby for a relative newcomer director like Travis Zariwny, who previously was a camera department guy for movies like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. See this thing at night and take your friends, because it’s just jump-scary enough to be fun and just silly enough to be enjoyed. By no means should anyone expect a new era in horror, but we can all but guarantee you’ll have a good time. (ADV) Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 95 min.

one had the courage they needed all along, but the real draw here is in both the utter weirdness and the gorgeous animation. Character and world designs are undoubtedly Ghibli-esque, but this is hardly a bad thing as backgrounds and detailed interiors shine almost always and the British countryside backdrop makes everything feel just a little more magical. Regardless, the pacing feels off and the interplay between characters is almost always rushed. It’s hard to tell whether or not the school officials wish to do Mary harm, and even big-name performances from Kate Winslet and Jim Broadbent can’t work around that. It’s possible that the film’s transition to a new intended audience (American children) caused darker themes to be lost, but it’s hard to get a sense of motivation for anyone outside of “They do the things they do because they’re just those kinds of people.” Kids, however, will love this movie. It’s cute and fun and speaks to what young people can accomplish if they’re given a chance to work things out on their own. Just don’t expect as timeless a tale as Miyazaki has created—he is, after all, the master—and prepare yourself to have unanswered questions by the uplifting end.

+ FLAWLESS ANIMATION; WONDERFULLY WEIRD
- PACING; UNCLEAR MOTIVATIONS
If Mary and the Witch’s Flower, the breakout animated film from recently formed Japanese animation outfit Studio Ponoc, seems immediately recognizable, that could be because many from Ponoc are former Ghibli people. Further, the overall narrative and setup are awfully familiar—young, seemingly incapable girl thrust into extraordinary and magical circumstances works it out on her own—with hints of Miyazaki classics like Castle in the Sky, Kiki’s Delivery Service and Spirited Away. Director Hiromasa Yonebayashi even went so far as to voice hesitations over those inevitable comparisons in an interview for The Verge in late 2017, but obviously the film was made all the same and it’s fine. Just fine. Based on Mary Stewart’s 1971 book, The Little Broomstick, Mary and the Witch’s Flower follows a clever young girl named Mary (duh) who unwittingly winds up enrolled in a school for witches and warlocks. But when she uncovers the dubious methods of its headmistress and top teacher, Mary discovers strength she didn’t know she had and sets about foiling their nefarious plot.

+ FASCINATING AND MIND-ALTERING - COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE LONGER
By 1940, the outlook of WWII was bleaker than ever as German U-boats decimated military and civilian ships at sea. The allies struggled to adapt at home and abroad, but an unlikely inventor set about solving the problem from Hollywood: actress Hedy Lamarr. Alongside avant-garde composer George Antheil, Lamarr devised a method for wirelessly controlling torpedoes via radio wave called frequency hopping, which would have allowed then unheard-of control over the explosives by communicating between rapidly alternating radio frequencies, thereby circumventing enemy attempts to jam transmissions. It was a low-key brilliant deduction that was unfortunately never used by the US Navy, but it does have myriad practical applications today (do you like wi-fi, GPS and shuttle launches?) and raises a rather interesting point: Lamarr was a straight genius who was often underestimated because of her staggering beauty. We learn this and much more in documentarian Alexandra Dean’s new film, Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story, ultimately gaining an understanding of the downsides of stardom and the not-so-glamorous private life of Lamarr, who was

point, a newscaster describing the horrors over the radio intones that “we are under attack,” though she does not say by what). Before any of that, we meet two privileged 14-year-old girls (Anne Winters and Olivia Crocicchia) as they plan to do the sex and the drugs with their boyfriends after another day of drudgery, school, and once-cool, now-overbearing parents’ constraints. It’s easy to see why these girls’ moms and dads might want to end them. Cage is Cage, only pretty much on full blast from stem to stern this time around. It’s too much, even for this gory romp. But Blair (Cruel Intentions, Mothers and Daughters) sells it for real, mixing actual human depth in the twin struggles of aging and parenting with the near-slapstick hunger to kill woven throughout. The movie is paced and shot to jar, but it feels a little too stitched-together in spots—a poor man’s stop-motion, look-at-me neck-whipper that falls short of, say, Requiem For a Dream. There are, however, moments of true harrow. Among them: One of the most disturbing scenes we’ve ever encountered, set to Roxette’s 1987 classic, “It Must Have Been Love.” If you can stomach ultra-violence in a movie you’re supposed to laugh at, this’ll do the trick. Also, don’t kill your kids; that’s a felony crime. (Jeff Proctor) The Screen, R, 123 min.
once considered the most beautiful woman alive. From her beginnings starring in underground Austrian erotica to disastrous marriages with everyone from Nazi-sympathizing munitions manufacturers to philandering screenwriters, Lamarr’s was not always a charmed life. Through a oncelost phone interview with a Forbes reporter from the ’90s, we glean that Lamarr perhaps resented superficial stardom and family life, inventing in her free time and navigating a world that seemed more than prepared to use her at every turn. Ultimately, Bombshell provides a message of hope—not least of which for a greater appreciation of Lamarr’s intelligence—with interviews from historians, family members, friends and fans. Like the consummate “don’t judge a book” lesson or fascinating underdog story, Bombshell sidesteps expectations almost always, shining a light on the seedy underbelly of Hollywood’s star factory and never canonizing its subject; Lamarr was far from perfect, and we see some of her darkest days, but we gain new understanding for her contributions to humanity, many of which define our society to this day. That’s the type of thing everyone ought to know. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, NR, 90 min.

Rob Brezsny
Week of January 24th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Anders Haugen competed for the U.S. as a ski jumper in the 1924 Winter Olympics. Although he was an accomplished athlete who had previously set a world record for distance, he won no medals at the games. But wait! Fifty years later, a sports historian discovered that there had a been a scoring mistake back in 1924. In fact, Haugen had done well enough to win the bronze medal. The mistake was rectified, and he finally got his long-postponed award. I foresee a comparable development happening in your life, Aries. Recognition or appreciation you deserved to have received some time ago will finally come your way.
sented as a rich macho party animal named Spuds MacKenzie. The ad campaign was successful, boosting sales 20 percent. But the truth was that the actor playing Spuds was a female dog whose owners called her Evie. To earn money, the poor creature, who was born under the sign of Libra, was forced to assume a false identity. To honor Evie’s memory, and in alignment with current astrological omens, I urge you human Libras to strip away any layers of false identity you’ve been pressured to acquire. Be your Real Self—to the max.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1899, Sobhuza II became King of Swaziland even though he was less than five months old. He kept his job for the next 82 years, and along the way managed to play an important role when his nation gained independence from the colonial rule of the United Kingdom. These days you may feel a bit like Sobhuza did when he was still in diapers, Taurus: not sufficiently prepared or mature for the greater responsibilities that are coming your way. But just as he received competent help in his early years from his uncle and grandmother, I suspect you’ll receive the support you’ll need to ripen. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In my ideal world, dancing and singing wouldn’t be luxuries practiced primarily by professionals. They would be regular occurrences in our daily routines. We’d dance and sing whenever we needed a break from the numbing trance. We’d whirl and hum to pass the time. We would greet each other with an interpretative movement and a little tune. In schools, dance and song would be a standard part of the curriculum—as important as math and history. That’s my utopian dream, Gemini. What’s yours? In accordance with the astrological omens, I urge you to identify the soul medicine you’d love to incorporate into your everyday regimen. Then go ahead and incorporate it! It’s time for you to get more aggressive about creating the world you want to live in.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The giant panda is a bear native to China. In the wild, its diet is 99 percent bamboo. But bamboo is not an energy-rich food, which means the creature has to compensate by consuming 20 to 30 pounds of the stuff every day. Because it’s so busy gathering its sustenance, the panda doesn’t have time to do much socializing. I mention this, Scorpio, because I want to offer up the panda as your anti-power animal for the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you should have a diversified approach to getting your needs met—not just in regards to food, but in every other way as well. Variety is not just the spice of life; it’s the essence. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re the star of the “movie” that endlessly unfolds in your imagination. There may be a number of other lead actors and actresses, but few if any have your luster and stature. You also have a supporting cast, as well as a full complement of extras. To generate all the adventure you need, your story needs a lot of dramatis personae. In the coming weeks, I suggest that you be alert for certain minor characters who are primed to start playing a bigger role in your narrative. Consider the possibility of inviting them to say and do more to advance the plot.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Thirty-five miles per hour is typically the highest speed attained by the U.S. Navy’s Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. That’s not very fast. On the other hand, each ship’s engine generates CANCER (June 21-July 22): Psychology pioneer Carl Jung 190 megawatts, enough to provide the energy needs believed that most of our big problems can never be fully of 140,000 houses, and can go more than 20 years solved.
