NEWS, JULY 18: “MONUMENTAL FAIL”

History is not always pleasant but it is immutable, as though it were engraved in stone. The land of America is American by conquest. It was not nice, but it really happened.

George Washington’s Iroquois nickname is “canotocaurious,” or “destroyer of villages.”

He used search and destroy tactics. He killed a lot of Indians. He could have taught Lieutenant Calley a trick or two. War is not nice. Let us proceed to rip down statues of George Washington.

RICHARD BERMINGHAM SANTA FE

THOU SHALT NOT I would like to add one monument to the list of those that may be removed from public property in Santa Fe: the Ten Commandments monument in front of the fire station on Cerrillos Road next to the Indian Health Center and Ashbaugh Park.

This was a gift to the city from a Christian church organization and continuing to display it on publicly-funded property is a violation of the US Constitution’s First Amendment barring the establishment of a religion by government. ... Since the mayor’s office is willing to remove monuments deemed racially and culturally offensive, it must consider removing those that are equally colonial and are offensive to those of us who take separation of church and state seriously. Churches already enjoy enough privileges like tax-free income, land ownership and political power. Should they also be given random free places by the city to display their “faith?”

SCOTT SHUKER SANTA FE

HEY, GREAT IDEA! Would “barbarian” have had any less sting than “savage”? How about “impolite” or “unpolished”? I might have used “uncivilized.”

MOVIES, JULY 18: “SORRY TO BOTHER YOU”

MISSED A SPOT As a Santa Fe native, I am familiar with your past reviews, and you certainly have a strong grip on your craft. While I found your review of this film to be nothing short of descriptive, I thought it didn’t fully encapsulate its thoughtprovoking commentary on race relations. As with Lakeith Stanfield’s last film, Get Out, Sorry to Bother You offers a much-needed social commentary on modern race relations that makes this film essential cinema. Especially given our current political climate, race relations are a salient issue and are a topic of upmost importance, and a review of a movie such as Sorry to Bother You must certainly emphasize the importance of its content and why audiences must not miss out on this experience.

Protesters sit in front of the Palace of the Governors in protest of the Entrada last year.

An End to the Entrada?

BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

he public version of the Entrada, a central tradition during the Santa Fe Fiesta in early September wherein actors perform a version of the region’s reconquest by Spain, might effectively be over.

A resolution passed this month by the All Pueblo Council of Governors appears to confirm that city officials, the Fiesta Council and local Catholic church leaders have agreed the pageant won’t take place this year on the Plaza. But it’s unclear if all parties are as in step as the resolution suggests.

Meanwhile, two Pueblo organizers of energetic protests against the event over the last two years say they weren’t involved in the decision, and aren’t sure what is going to come next. The city also remains silent about the plan.

Anti-Entrada protests last year resulted in eight arrests, including one on felony charges. The ACLU of New Mexico criticized the Santa Fe Police Department for confining protesters to a “free speech zone” on behalf of the Fiesta Council, a private organization that puts on the event in the public space. Police snipers were posted up on rooftops above the Plaza.

The All Pueblo Council of Governors, an association that includes representatives from all the area’s sovereign Pueblos, adopted a resolution on July 19 codifying months of closed-door negotiations.

It says the council “felt compelled to ac-

tion” after last year’s pageant, which elicited an “over reaction of law enforcement with a full and militaristic response” that reopened old wounds.

The council developed a five-point negotiation plan last December where it demanded the Entrada “and associated script with pseudo Pueblo representatives cannot under no circumstances continue.”

The plan also requested an apology from the Catholic Church for historic injustices committed against Pueblo people, a new proclamation celebrating “all cultures” that contribute to the region’s identity, and that a Truth and Reconciliation commission be established to plan a new celebratory commemoration of the region’s history.

And it asks the city of Santa Fe to commission a new public art piece for the Santa Fe Plaza that reflects “the spirit of peace as a gift to all future generations,” the document says.

On July 11, the council’s resolution says, Mayor Alan Webber, representative Allen Sanchez for the Santa Fe Archbishop, and representatives from the Santa Fe Fiesta Council and Los Caballeros de Vargas accepted the plan “in its entirety.”

The Caballeros write the script for the Entrada, while the Fiesta Council organizes the majority of Fiesta events.

But Melissa Mascarenas, this year’s president of the Fiesta Council, tells SFR she hasn’t personally seen the resolution.

“I have not agreed, and I have not put my signature on anything, and as far as I’ve been told, we’re not supposed to

All Pueblo Council of Governors adopts resolution to discontinue divisive pageant, says city and Fiesta Council are on board

speak with the press,” Mascarenas says.

City leaders including Mayor Webber have been tight-lipped about the negotiations taking place in recent months. Last week, city spokesman Matt Ross referred SFR’s questions about the Entrada to former Cochiti Pueblo Governor Regis Pecos, whom Ross says the parties designated their official spokesman.

Pecos sent the following email to SFR: “They did pass a Resolution but there is more to it and not just replacing one thing with another. It is more comprehensive,” Pecos wrote. “The matters are sensitive and I am working with the Mayor’s office, the Fiesta Council representatives, the Caballeros and the Archdiocese. I hope you can be patient as we communicate with all parties before we go public. This has taken many months of respectful and principled discussions.”

APCG Chairman Edward Paul Torres’ authorizing signature is missing from a copy of the resolution obtained by SFR, but other reports indicate he signed it.

A July 20 Facebook status by Patricia Trujillo, a member of Tewa Women United and director of equity and diversity at Northern New Mexico College, said that Ohkay Owingeh Lt. Governor Matthew Martinez presented the resolution at a gathering at the school on July 19 and that it had been signed the next day.

Some activists involved in organizing protests against the Entrada felt left out of the decision.

Elana Ortiz of Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo, a lead protest organizer against the Entrada in recent years, found out about

the agreement from Trujillo’s Facebook post. She tells SFR she was unhappy that protesters weren’t included, but felt good about the resolution. “[I]f this resolution is going to be followed by all parties, it’s great,” says Ortiz in a text message. “It covers most of our demands. The only exception, and it’s a big one to me, is getting the Fiesta Court out of the public schools.”

Another organizer, Jennifer Marley, a student at the University of New Mexico who is from San Ildefonso Pueblo, says that while the event appears to be a “powerful move” from the Pueblo Council, it is essentially “following” the lead of her and others who have been at the forefront of the protests. At last year’s event, Marley was arrested and charged with multiple felonies, all of which were dropped months later.

“What’s unfortunate,” she tells SFR, “is that the organizers of the protest, the Red Nation, the abolishing the Entrada coalition, have not been contacted to be part of any of these conversations, and in fact [the All Pueblo Council of Governors] has been actively avoiding us.”

Marley says she was already making preparations to protest this year’s Entrada when she heard the surprise announcement. She says she will still protest even if the event is moved to a private location.

“If it does happen, it’s going to be something that Los Caballeros do on their own,” she explains, “which we would still show up [to protest] if they did do that.”

From Here to Eternity Doctor Atomic librettist Peter Sellars on the enduring power of art and science

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

rowing up, Peter Sellars depended on both his high school and college physics teachers. They were “fantastic scientists,” he notes, but “also were great artists.” The connection between science and art, in other words, has been clear for a long time to Sellars, librettist and stage director for the Santa Fe Opera’s production of Doctor Atomic.

Part of SFO’s Tech and the West series, which included last summer’s The (R) evolution of Steve Jobs, Doctor Atomic has been accompanied by myriad public programming investigating the issues immanent in the region’s nuclear weapons legacy, providing an interdisciplinary window into this complex story.

In response to a question on the reciprocity of the disciplines, Sellars says both

JULY 25-31, 2018

science and art require imagination. “It’s a myth that science is just tech,” he notes.

“Science is the act of imagination, the act of seeing what’s not yet there, which is what an artist does with a blank piece of paper. There’s a drawing that isn’t there yet and then, at the end of the day, the piece of paper has a drawing on it, and that drawing is part of humanity and eternity, but it wasn’t there this morning.”

Similarly, a scientific revelation, “as soon as it’s discovered … goes forward and backward in time; it’s been waiting to be acknowledged, but it’s always been there and that kind of vision, which is about a combination of study and meditation and a kind of freedom of imagination itself. All of these things are hovering in the practice of science and in the practice of the arts.”

Doctor Atomic composer John Adams’ work, Sellars points out, brims with technical rigor. “When he is creating a chord progression, when he’s creating a harmonic convergence, it’s done with a scientific level of acumen. And John’s music is just unbelievably precise, and in terms of the sheer depth and complexity of it, an operatic score by John Adams with 500 pages of thousands of notes per page is probably one of the most dense and highly scientific products of any human endeavor and … it’s done with incredible hands-on scientific determination.”

Nonetheless, Sellars had humanistic concerns about operatic adaptation of the story of Manhattan Project history; mainly aestheticizing the considerable suffering engendered by the nuclear industry.

In fact, when first approached 25 years ago about such an endeavor, Sellars’ response

Ryan McKinny plays Robert Oppenheimer.

was, “Absolutely not. That subject matter is off-limits.”

Several decades later, when he and composer Adams agreed to the work and began what would be intensive multidisciplinary research, Sellars realized “the only way we could handle the material is to handle this very limited time period”: the summer of 1945, and the days leading up to the atomic bomb detonation at Trinity. The decision to limit that scope and not include Hiroshima was deliberate.

“The level of human suffering can never be matched even remotely in a work of art, and I would really be ashamed to pretend to represent that scale of hurt, of damage, of agony, on a stage.”

The opera does not shy away, though, from seeking to represent—successfully, I felt—the suffering and complexity of this particular technology on this particular region of the country. It emphasizes Robert Oppenheimer’s own grief and poetic cognition, and incorporates the people whose destinies were, in fact, inexorably changed by his actions.

“Oppenheimer is one of the most powerful figures in world history just because he is so vulnerable,” Sellars says.

“He is so exposed; his genius doesn’t give him a Teflon coat.”

But integrating downwinders and Native American corn dancers into the staging invokes more than narrative

inclusivity. Sellars believes the opera provides a lens to consider the import of Indigenous technologies, such as ethnobotany, animal husbandry or the corn dances themselves—performed in Doctor Atomic—which he views (and now I’m paraphrasing) as a type of spiritual technology powered by moral energy.

“Indigenous technology is about stewardship of the planet and actually being able to make a very light footprint in this land,” he says. “Our culture is based on not becoming but, rather: ‘What can I get out of it now?’ In Indigenous technology, it’s: ‘What can you get out of it in 50 years, and what can you get out of it in 450 years?’ …

You’re understanding your actions in that continuum, and again we’re into what could be, must be called science; these are types of knowledge that are used with extreme care and precision in sustaining life in a part of the world where it’s dangerous to live. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll starve and you’ll die of thirst.

We’re so impressed with Western technology and it’s destroyed a lot of the planet, it’s destroyed a lot of communities. … It’s not so impressive.”

ne project would connect the city’s largest dog park to a huge network of trails that lies on the other side of a busy highway. The other would create a trail that provides a safer way home for hundreds of school kids.

Neither project is a bad choice, but a choice must be made.

Come Wednesday night, Santa Fe’s governing body is set to decide how to appropriate the relatively modest sum of $279,153. In so doing, it will write another chapter in the city’s growing schism in income, ethnicity and services.

The money was earmarked for a project that would link the Ortiz dog park off Camino de Las Crucitas with the La Tierra trail system to the north. It was approved by voters as part of a 2008 bond issue, and the money has been available since 2010. Because building a trail in Tierra Contenta as opposed to the Northwest Quadrant (a name that’s attached to a master-planned piece of city-owned land that has yet to take shape with respect to development) would use the bond money for the same broad purpose that voters approved, the city’s governing body is allowed to reallocate it.

After kicking around the idea for more than a year and a half, that’s what city staff is recommending. The city would spend the money not on the Northwest Quadrant connector, but on the trail segment in the densely populated Tierra Contenta on the Southside.

Leroy Pacheco, a city engineer, says it’s not a matter of abandoning one trail or the other—it’s that the Tierra Contenta trail is more shovel-ready.

“Both are very good projects. It’s not an easy choice,” Pacheco tells SFR. “Tierra Contenta is 80 percent designed.

This allocation would get it built.”

The path would continue the Arroyo de los Chamisos Trail from the heart of Tierra Contenta to South Meadows Road, a stone’s throw from Sweeney Elementary and down the street from Ortiz Middle School.

Roman Abeyta, the newly elected District 3 city councilor, says it makes a lot of sense. “People should know the amount of children we have who live in the area who go to Sweeney and Ortiz … don’t have a way to walk home other than to go onto Airport Road, which is dangerous,” he tells SFR. “[District 3 is] way behind when it comes to other amenities that other parts of city have,” Abeyta says.

He hasn’t tallied the votes for the proposed budget adjustment. But based on hearings in city committees, a majority of councilors side with him, including both councilors for District 1, where the dog park connector is located.

While the Northwest Quadrant trail has been talked about for years, there’s more work to do. The city estimates it would take about $100,000 to construct a dirt trail from the dog park to an existing underpass at Highway 599, the Santa Fe bypass. Another $180,000 was set to

That may ultimately be what the public wants, but the city’s existing 599 underpass is a more robust trail that could perhaps match with a more accessible connector trail. Pacheco expects the option to be discussed and says the city has already started pursuing a federal grant to help pay for the Northwest route.

“It’s a noble endeavor,” he says of the original spending plan, which is still strongly favored by some. “It’s important; it’s in the master plan.”

READERS’ CHOICE

T

his is not one of those touchyfeely education or child-raising models where everyone wins.

There are not medals for participation. The Best of Santa Fe annual readers’ poll has definitive winners. The following organizations, businesses, people and places have loyal patrons and friends whose votes helped them rise above the competition. They are some of the city’s oldest and most well-loved names; and also brand new locales that made fast marks of success. They’re

almost all exclusively local, and those that aren’t are winners that voters tell us they can’t live without.

In all, readers cast more than 150,000 individual votes in 115 categories. SFR collected votes online during the month of May, featuring a ballot with six nominees in each category who were similarly named with online voting in February.

Some winners skated away with the vast majority of votes in their categories while others sneaked by with just one vote between first and second place.

It all goes to show that our city cares about competition. Watch and see as Best of Santa Fe winner banners pop up all over town like a bunch of happy hollyhocks, and be sure to join the winners, the losers, the staff of SFR and a bunch of other people you know this Friday night at our annual block party in the Railyard on Friday from 5 to 9 pm.

This year’s cover artist Marie Sena may live in Dallas now, but she’s still a Santa Fean at heart. “Santa Fe is always a part of me,” she says. “I can’t stay away.”

Thus far, this has translated into annual appearances at Spanish Market and guest spots at local tattoo shops but, Sena says, she’ll be moving back within the next couple years with her husband in tow. But how’d she land on the jackalope image for the cover?

“To me, growing up in New Mexico, especially coming from a Hispanic family who are full of all kinds of weird superstitions and myths, I love that part of our culture,” Sena says. “There’s a lot of folklore, a lot of mystery; it’s not just turquoise jewelry and cowboy boots—I wanted a character that embodied that, that was specifically New Mexican.”

WHERE WE SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS EVER!

espite what you might have heard, SFR staffers have no say whatsoever in the winning people, places, things, businesses and nonprofits in the preceding pages.

Oh sure, we voted, too—that’s just democracy, baby—and we know where the good chile is just as much as you do. But you can ultimately think of us as bean counters when it comes to the reader’s choice categories. Still, we have thoughts and feelings as citizens of Santa Fe; thoughts and feelings we present to you here. When it’s

your job to stay laser-focused on a city’s goings-on, you notice things. When it’s your responsibility to present news and culture information to a town, you generally get an earful on the daily. This is how we’re aware of the finest local beards, ghosts, gardens, bagels, and Facebook groups (or was that worst?) popping off in Santa Fe. In the end, we might liken these “winners” to what amounts to an honorable mention. Many are, for lack of a better term, intangible. May they guide you locally.

New MexiCann

random weed deals texted to your phone

way to spend $15,000 in public campaign finance funds MAX TONE

1592 San Mateo Lane, 982-2621

Here at SFR, most of us like cannabis, and have collectively hit up every dispensary in town. Of course, there is a range of quality and products to choose from, and we have a whole actual “best of” category for dispensaries. So, readers, this isn’t that. This is a celebration of a digital relationship that has resulted in cheaper weed.

New MexiCann Natural Medicine sends certain customers texts announcing special deals like $10 off. You just have to show them the text. If you combine this with some of the other daily deals they

On your business … or toner.

So much toner.

Santa Fe is one of many cities around the country that is trying to get the right system for public financing of campaigns for city office. It’s an ongoing experiment.

As it stands now, candidates have to raise seed money and essentially prove their viability before getting either $60,000 to run for mayor or $15,000 to run for City Council.

Local businessman Eric J Holmes did that. He showed up for candidate forums and interviewed more than once with SFR. He also spent $11,334.59 on campaign material—at his own businesses. Holmes co-owns several printing

have, you can end up with some pricey goods at a great discount.

And let’s be honest: Weed, whether it’s purchased illegally or semi-legally, is way too fucking expensive. Dispensaries say their prices are competitive with the black market, but it’s not much better. So any time we get one of those texts that say “Hey You! Yes You! We Miss You! Come into New MexiCann and get $10 Store Credit this week only!,” it’s a welcome overture.

Bonus: New MexiCann takes used cannabis packaging back. We saw one guy walk in with an entire trash bag full of the plastic waste. And yeah, maybe most of it will end up in a landfill, but it’s the thought that counts, right? (Aaron Cantú)

and imaging shops and, we presume, gave himself a stellar deal on campaign signs. There’s no provision in city code preventing that, so why give money to the competition, right?

Holmes kicked back about $1,600 of unused campaign money at the end of his unsuccessful run for the District 4 seat on the council. He came in third in a field of three.

Then there’s perennial candidate Marie Campos, who spent more than $4,000 at Amazon on printer toner and paper and other campaign-related supplies.

She provided itemized receipts to the city clerk and appeared to have a heck of a printing operation going. On Election Day, volunteers stood outside a downtown polling place with hand-painted signs.

Democracy is neither perfect nor pretty. (MG) CONTINUED ON PAGE 57

PEOPLE ’n’ PLACES

ghost local puppet artists— yeah, puppet artists Flying Wall Studios flyingwall.org If you scoffed at the idea of a special nod to puppet artistry, you’ve clearly never seen the work churned out by local husband-wife team Damon and Sabrina Griffith, aka Flying Wall Studios. In fact, a recent exhibit at the NO LAND gallery space off the Plaza exhibited the painstaking levels of creativity and craft that goes into building puppets; the Griffiths have done it all, from album covers and performances to helping craft the characters for The Love that Would Not Die, a Santa Fe-born puppet musical created by their fellow local puppet aficionado Devin Ludlow. Now, we’re not saying that some of the puppets aren’t plenty creepy, nor do we expect everyone to get it—but from a sheer artistic stance, the Griffiths’ works are at turns gorgeous and profound. (Alex De Vore)

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

The nurse at the barracks at CSF (can a ghost die?)

One of the first things new College of Santa Fe students were always told during orientation was that the barracks were haunted. The recently demolished WWII-era hospital barracks made up a good chunk of the campus. They housed the cafeteria, chapel, classrooms and art studios—and, supposedly, a headless nurse and the occasional high-and-tight soldier.

In a recent Facebook post’s comments (because Facebook groups are the closest things we have to an alumni association), one alum relays the basic story: A soldier “went mad one night and shut off the power. A nurse that was working there was checking to make sure everyone was all right when he attacked her with a scalpel.

When the next nurse did a walk-through, they didn’t find him, but they found her head in a toilet or something like that.”

Another then commented: “I heard the guy was bouncing her head on the roof of King and if you were on the third or fourth floor at the dead of night, you could hear the bouncing.” (King Hall wasn’t around during WWII, of course, but King was spooky af so I’m down with this story anyway.) There were also stories about tunnels under also-spooky Alexis Hall, dead priests roaming St. Mike’s, and the requisite theater ghost; in 12 hours, the Facebook post had over 100 comments about spirits. When your school doesn’t exist any more, Facebook activity is the best gauge of alumni enthusiasm, and this was a significant level.

Now that the barracks are gone, Nurse Medina and her buddies are probably looking for new digs. Whoever occupies whatever gets built in the barracks’ old spot, just know about your guaranteed house guests. (Charlotte Jusinski) ...

PEOPLE ’n’ PLACES Zeke Shortes

rants on the DOH’s stupid cannabis regulations

Sacred Garden, 1300 Luisa St., 216-9686 The number of people with medical cannabis cards in New Mexico has surged in recent years, and this has happened in spite of the state’s arbitrary rules, surprise announcements and general thinly veiled contempt for the whole thing. Everyone’s suffered because of it, but we at SFR have adopted a cynical appreciation for Sacred Garden owner Zeke Shortes’ rants every time the cannabis program does something puzzling or downright shitty.

For example, the guy tried to have a cannabis dinner party last October that the

champion of local teens who worked her ass off for a million years and is now taking a much-deserved rest from the madness

health department ruined at the absolute last minute because of some rules violation.

However legitimate the complaints from the health department may have been, the way the dispensary was notified—an email at the last minute, after weeks of preparation and promotion—was obviously shitty.

Then, in June, the Health Department sprung an out-of-state CBD and hemp ban. Its advisement came in a letter to dispensaries on June 7, without warning or public hearing. It caused a slight amount of chaos among the dispensaries, but officials have remained stoic and unengaging with some who’ve tried asking for more of an explanation. “Total bullshit,” Shortes concluded. (AC)

Ana Gallegos y Reinhardt At 11 years old, I was new to Santa Fe and terrified of leaving my home. But a fortuitous afternoon spent in a Warehouse 21 silkscreen workshop would change the course of my life forever.

Throw a rock in Santa Fe and you’re bound to hit at least one W21 alumnus, throw another and you’ll hit a person, place or thing that owes its very existence to the nonprofit teen arts center.

This is not hyperbole—Warehouse 21 saved and saves lives.

But it’s not like these things hap-

Quaker Friends Meeting compound on Canyon Road

public garden you had no idea existed

On the south side of Canyon Road, between El Zaguán and The Compound, there is a carriage gate with the number 630 above it. The gate might be closed, but give it a try—if it’s daytime, chances are it’s unlocked. Head inside and you’re cocooned in the adobe walls and flowering gardens of the historic Olive Rush estate, now the Quaker Friends Meeting compound.

The gorgeous adobe buildings, mature plants

pen without effort—oh no—and it’s not like we can forget former W21 executive director Ana Gallegos y Reinhardt, even if she did finally retire after more than 20 years keeping the place afloat. Gallegos y Reinhardt has impacted so many lives and been the catalyst for so many creative endeavors, you’d need a novel to touch on all of them, but it’s important to remember that she always did so with a smile on her face and love in her heart.

Thank you, Ana, sincerely—there are quite literally hundreds upon hundreds of people out there whose lives you made better, and we will always love you for it. (ADV)

and shade trees are charming enough, but you’ll also find plenty of comfortable lawn furniture, a swing set and sometimes a little tent—and it’s all open for you to read a book, meditate, reflect, have a sibilant hang-out friend date or do anything else that’s low-key. It’s not for frisbee or loud music, and occasionally 12-step or faith-based groups use the space for meetings; but, as long as you’re considerate, this is the perfect spot to sprawl in the sun or the shade, listen to your headphones or get some writing done. Maybe you’ll meet a fellow pensive friend, or maybe you’ll stay gloriously alone. There are few prettier settings in which to do either. (CJ) CONTINUED ON PAGE 61

Santa Fe Bulletin Board We’ll admit right away that we had to leave the Santa Fe Bulletin Board Facebook group, so we really don’t know what they’ve been up to lately, but our departure was a long time coming. A broad (obtuse?) potpourri of alarmist ideas shouted full-volume into an online echo chamber with admins who’d seemingly rather its members be xenophobic and racist than fucking swear once in awhile, it’s the kind of group that freaks out over inoffensive art works and publicly harasses members with different opinions. Honestly, it might as well be called Santa Fe Riler-Uppers or the like and a glorious car wreckesque example of the downsides of social media playing out in real time—not to mention a repository for flood videos this week.

We certainly look forward to whatever indignant shock is spread throughout the page once its members and admins read this— but thankfully we’ll never actually see those posts. Bye, Felicia. (ADV)

Bohemiac, 3918 Rodeo Road, 570-4000 The second or third time I walked into Bohemiac, the cozy consignment store with eclectic home goods, unique clothes, designer treasures and handmade art, owner Catana Lopez was behind the counter.

There have been record stores in Santa Fe before.

There have actually been record stores here since always. But there has never been a tried-andtrue, new ’n’ used monument to all things vinyl quite like what we now have with Lost Padre Records. A killer collection from a true vinyl buff curated to fit the tastes of the townsfolk regardless of taste—and remaining affordable—is no small feat, nor are proprietor George Casey’s future plans for a larger inventory, in-store concerts from traveling acts and who even knows what else yet. Vinyl vets and turntable newbies take note—the shop you’ve always wanted has arrived. (ADV)

$300. “Try this on.” I did, and I couldn’t believe it; it was just my style and size. I paid about $75 and promptly wore it out to a bar, where I was complimented on it before I even took my seat.

Lopez opened Bohemiac in January 2016, and her eye for style is something you just can’t teach. She explains away her skills by saying, “I just listen”— clothes are a cosmic expression of who you are, she says, and if she can get a sense of who you are, she knows what you should wear. She’s a conscientious buyer as well, stocking her racks only with stuff that shoppers actually want.

So if you have “nothing” to wear and your closet depresses you, pop on down to the Southside and just stand in front of Lopez. She’ll probably find you something good in a minute or two. (CJ)

Jono Manson

The Kitchen Sink Recording Studio, 528 Jose St., 699-4323 Jono Manson is huge in Santa Fe and in Italy, so when he valiantly offered to help me move an absurdly heavy speaker cabinet during a band practice late last year, I was kind of shocked.

Oh, it’s not a reflection on Manson as a guy—more an experience-born assumption based on the world of rock stars at large and the kind of people who would probably take a look at the equipment and feign a back injury then leave. Not Manson. Instead, he’s too busy running one of the most popular studios in town, The Kitchen Sink, performing across the country and in Europe and ready with a smile and a handshake along with a sincere desire to know how the hell you’re doing.

random weed (not that kind)

Hollyhock Santa Fe is a land of unexpected delights. If you haven’t turned around and been gobsmacked by a sunset you thought just moments ago would be only ho-hum, you haven’t been paying attention. Or that knock-you-on-your-butt taco that you ate only because you were going to die if you didn’t consume something and the taco truck was right there, so …

Add to that the appearance of hollyhocks every summer. They look for all the world like an out-ofcontrol weed that someone forgot about and now is too big to pull up by the roots without wrenching your back. Until they bloom.

There’s deep red, bright pink, cotton candy pink, white, purple—and the best part is they grow anywhere around Santa Fe. When we proposed this bit for BOSF, at least three people in the office knew about that one red hollyhock growing between the curb and the sidewalk by the Methodist church on Old Pecos Trail. Random and beautiful.

Scott Canning, the head horticulture guy at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, says hollyhocks love to grow next to fences, walls and in cracks. We have a lot of those.

Colorado in June

place to go when you gotta get outta dodge, and best time to go there.

The dog days of summer each July and August are the hottest of the year in most parts of the country. But in New Mexico, monsoons have (hopefully) hit by then, providing some merciful drops in the mercury. June, however, is an apocalyptic hellscape of dust and dry bones, thirsty snakes and wildfires. June is almost always a nightmare. June is the actual worst. June is when we all wonder, “Will it ever rain again? Will we all burst into flames? Why am I even here? What’s that smell?”

Take June, then, and head to Colorado. Sure, seems weird to recommend going to another state in a newspaper about what’s best in our town—but hey, using less of our water and more of someone else’s water at such a time is actually a good thing.

Anyone who’s been living here for more than a generation has an even better connection to the malvarrosas or Las Varas de San Jose (“rods of St. Joseph”). They grow exceedingly well in New Mexico and have a history with the Spanish, the English, the Middle East and even China. We get it: Colonial flower. But also, it’s just a flower, and one that dates back centuries or even millennia.

Hollyhocks have to shoot their stalks skyward to bloom, so when they do, they’re a glorious eyeful. Canning tosses out the apt term “tower of flowers.” They love sandy soil and full sun and you kind of get where this is going. You can for sure plant your own (unless you’re our copy editor, who kills everything, like Voldemort in a field of young, upstart wizards) but the Santa Fe Botanical Garden reminds you that they’re biennials. The first year, they throw out a mess of ground-level leaves that make you think you’ve failed. You haven’t. In year two, they literally bloom themselves to death. It’s the stuff of opera.

So, if you’re planting, put some in each year for two years. But we think the best kind are the ones you least expect. The ones that make your commute home along Old Pecos Trail a little happier this time of year. The ones that make Santa Fe the best. (MG)

Take a drive up the Western Slope, poke around in the weirdness of Leadville, get a cheap(er) room in Aspen in the offseason, hit local breweries or bop around Denver for a weekend. Then come back and tell us how the rivers were raging, it was 73 degrees in Eagle County, how you went way up in elevation and it snowed. Go on, tell us, we won’t hate you at all. Actually, no. You know what? Whatever, man, just stay there next time. You and your June snow. Psh. (CJ)

reason for your long distance partner not to move to Santa Fe

No jobs coupled with rising rents Sometimes you find affirmation in unlikely places. So it was that in a recent conversation with new Christus St. Vincent CEO Lillian Montoya, SFR commiserated with the hospital admin about how bad it sucks to be a young adult in Santa Fe—specifically, a young adult in a long-distance relationship. The issue came up when Montoya discussed who the hospital tries to recruit for its workforce.

“The challenge that we face is the same challenge faced by other businesses and companies in Santa Fe,” she said, continuing: “Several of our folks who move

Give a tourist directions In Santa Fe, there are a half-dozen legitimate ways to get anywhere you need to go. It’s convenient, but in a town that depends on tourism, it can also be maddening.

We’ve all been stuck behind that person with a Texas plate (sorry, but it’s true) who thinks stopping in the middle of the intersection to look at their phone is “Faaan, beecuz Ahm own vaycayshun!”

It might help if you say that out loud.

But you get it, right? Come, stay, spend your Permian/Hollywood/Wall Street money! We’re not that angry kind of place filled with stickers that say “My life is better than your vacation.”

And, anyway, most of those stickers should end with “, Dad.” We just ask that tourists recognize people do live here and have places to go and appointments to keep. As a way of making it easier on everyone, we suggest locals stop to chat with that person holding the white, turquoise and brown map (you know the one) and ask them where they’re headed.

Drop your favorite spot to eat, the best kombucha, best hotel bar, what you’ve been drinking to get out of the IPA rut, your fa-

way to be a good local

here ask, ‘Where’s my partner going to work?’ And that one we can’t do much about, we can’t personally fix it ourselves. That’s why it matters how Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico do [economically], so they can bring their spouse with them.”

That sounds cool and all, but then you consider the reality that being single in Santa Fe seems to suck, too: “You’re forced to recruit people who are single, but then you get the question of nightlife.” There is no question of nightlife in Santa Fe, of course, because pretty much the only places open past 9 pm are Taco Bell and Albertsons. Combined with a paucity of housing options that are only getting more expensive anyway, maybe you can entince your lover to Santa Fe with squatting and dumpster diving (AC)

vorite Gruet bubbly, where you go to church, where you go to get away from church. Then give them directions.

It may sound a little strange, but trust us, it feels good. Like, really good. Think back to your last vacation. Did you have everything dialed in? You were a pain in the ass to no one? Birds landed on your shoulder and that lovely grandmother down the road mistook you for her grandchild? No? Ah, yes.

Strangers in a strange land.

Engage. Say hello. Point them to a Southside spot no one else will know about. They’ll love it. And so will you.

elected officials who put off hard decisions about long-term student demographic changes

Celebrating 10 years of happy dogs Thank You for Voting

Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education In May, Santa Fe Public Schools once again deferred to a later date, some time in the future—whenever, really—the task of altering the school’s zoning boundaries based on long-term demographic changes among students in the city. Here’s the backstory: Enrollment for Southside elementary schools like Amy Biehl, Piñon and Nina Otero stands at just a little over 4,000, and will approach 5,000 by the 2026-2027 school year, according to the district. Enrollment

Santa Fe Tails numbers are forecast to stay steady or decline everywhere else.

As a solution, the school board considered shuttering a school, probably Nava, and then shuffling around a whole bunch of kids in a scheme that included repurposing a state-run charter school.

But when it came down to making the decision this year, everybody blinked.

School board member Maureen Cashmon, who speaks more bluntly than all the other board members, summed up the failure best: “When it comes to the hard time for the decision, we can’t make it. … Let’s be honest and take this whole thing off the table.” Months earlier, Cashmon had predicted the difficulty of the decision: “[It] might mean you need to make the [zoning] circles bigger. … Short-term, that’s probably not a good thing for any board member to say; politically, it’s not a good thing to say.” (AC)

way to carry your shade with you

Wear a damn hat—you’ll look great Pretty much the only reason not to wear a hat in the beating desert sun is that you think you don’t look good in a hat. Well, here’s some good news: You’re wrong. You look awesome in a hat. You just have to find the right one.

At O’Farrell Hat Company (111 E San Francisco St., 989-9666), they use a 19th-century millinery device that resembles a typewriter turned inside out.

They put the gadget on your head and it measures the precise shape of your skull, and that precise shape is then used to make your very own custom cowboy hat in about six months.

“But SFR!” you say. “I can’t afford an O’Farrell!”

Au contraire. The shop has a special locals-only sale each April, and you can get the beautiful beaver felt headwear at a steep discount. Just talk to the staff— they’re super friendly and want to see you look badass.

Other locally made options include impossibly hip Stith Collection lids (@thestithcollection on Instagram), Santa Fe Hat Company (118 Galisteo St., 983-3909)—or, over at SFReporter.com/shop, yours truly sells black or red SFR snapback baseball caps.

Most folks on staff here have them and we are all fly as hell, so you can use us as a guidepost. (CJ)

All of them

new “Best of” category

If you’ve gotten this far, you know that SFR polls our readers on their picks in more than 100 categories for the annual Best of Santa Fe awards—but that it’s never enough. Every year, we agonize over how long to make the ballot, which categories to keep and which ones to get rid of. The decision is sometimes arbitrary and at other times based on what appears to be waning or waxing interest in a particular topic or service area.

This year, real estate, veterinarian and hardware store made big comebacks, and best festival, cigar store and vape store got the ax. Readers also didn’t disappoint with their ideas about categories to add. Next year, we might consider adding pest control, ski equipment, physical therapy, crafting store and some surprises.

In the meantime, here’s a shout-out to all the busi-

nesses that didn’t get a category and might never get one. Huzzah to the cabinet makers, auto detailers, body piercers, building contractors, flooring installers, broom re-bristlers, artists, RV parks and charity golf tournaments. You’re the best, too. (JAG)

Stump does not require the alcohol, of course, but as with most games involving hardware, it helps things get a little more interesting as the night gets longer.

Here’s how you play: Get a stump. Any stump. Get a package of 3-inch carpentry nails (they all need to be the same length). Get a hammer. Get some people. Get some cups. Put some stuff in the cups. Hold your cup in one hand, and hold the hammer in your dominant hand by its head, with the bang-bang part in your hand, pointing up. Now here’s the clincher: You need to toss it in the air, flip it 180 degrees, grab it by the handle, and bang the head of your nail, all in one fell swoop and without hesitation. You hesitate or readjust, you lose a turn. The first person to bang their nail all the way in wins the satisfaction of knowing they won.

places to help keep cool because holy hell, what’s going on with this summer?!

that painting, but it’s still crooked on the wall.) Barrios that were built before zoning laws tend to be pretty tight squeezes, but if you have cool neighbors, this actually ends up being kind of fun. You can text the person in the next house to say their dinner smells good while sitting at your open window, and hear their phone ding.

You slip and call the person across the driveway your roommate. If you sneeze particularly loud, someone will holler a blessing across the alley. Some might even say it’s quite nice to have folks so close by. All the more reason to be polite during allergy season. (CJ)

Sounds easy. Looks easy. Is not easy.

Invariably nails get bent, people bang other peoples’ nails, drinks spill, hammers get dropped, and soon folks start pointing at their nails and getting their fingers directly in the path of the falling hammer. But also invariably, when you gather a quarter of your partygoers and start swinging hand tools, others start to wonder what’s going on—and the rest is party history. (CJ)

If errands you must run during this abominable heatwave we’re experiencing, pepper in a few handy local joints to cool down the old internal thermostat.

Obvious locations abound from the likes of movie theaters, swimming pools and even grocery stores, but stopping by a big box like Target (3550 Zafarano Drive, 471-9600), a library (we have a whole bunch of them) or, surprisingly, I-Vape Clouds (1966 Cerrillos Road, 438-3747) might help recharge your batteries.

Bonus to the list? Bank lobbies—even if you’re not a member—partly for the AC, partly for the usual spread of cookies and coffee. We hear tell Wells Fargo may be one of the better snacking lobbies around. If anyone asks what you’re doing there, feign something about curiosity over reverse mortgages, then act like you need to get something out of the car. (ADV) CONTINUED ON PAGE 75

bagel to transport you ALMOST back to the Northeast (like, maybe 68 percent of the way there)

Boultawn’s Bakery 105 E Marcy St., 983-9006

Just because mid-Atlantic expats choose to live in Santa Fe doesn’t mean that we don’t miss the comfort foods of home. I’ve mostly turned in my chruscik for sopaipillas, but I will never reject a good New Jerseystyle staple if I can find it. I assign kind of arbitrary accuracy percentage scores to foods, and turns out the bagel at Boultawn’s clocks in at a respectable 68 percent. Chef and co-owner Tawn Dix isn’t from New Jersey, but he could have fooled me. Those missing 32 percentage points can mostly be attributed to altitude, which, at 7,000 feet, provides at least a 25-point handicap.

A bagel needs to be chewy, but not uniformly so. The outside should pose some resistance to the bite but never require tearing. The inside should be

place to max out on minis

Have those people who fought against Total Wine even been in there?

The latest Big Box to hit the Southside is aisles and aisles of adult beverages, and it’s so much more than wine. What we find impressive are not the fancy glass cases full of four-figure scotch and the like, but the vast options for minis. You can make any kind of cocktail at a tailgate party, make a gift basket with a few favorite, or just fill your purse with emergency supplies.

The Impossible Burger

You Can’t Believe It’s Not a Burger

A few years ago, rumors started floating in vegan and vegetarian circles of the existence of a veggie burger that could achieve the plant-based alchemy of tasting like meat, looking like meat, even “bleeding” like meat.

The rumors were true.

The Impossible Burger is the brainchild of a company that isolated an iron molecule present in red meat and figured out a way to grow it in someplace that isn’t a cow. Then they … oh, who knows.

They did a bunch of science and now this thing looks and acts and, yes, even tastes like a burger.

Santa Fe has two of New Mexico’s three locations where you can get

moist and a little spongy; it should be solid enough that you don’t need to eat for at least five hours. Also loyal to New Jersey style, Boultawn’s puts on enough cream cheese that you have to scrape some off. They even cut it in half again and give you two sandwiched semi-circles rather than just two stacked discs. It’s mid-Atlantic perfection.

The only thing always missing from bagels out here is the salt on an everything bagel. Say it with me now: Salt. Goes. On. An. Everything. Bagel. Salt is part of everything. Put it on there, dammit! (CJ)

The City Council once passed an ordinance intended to ban the sale of these tiny bottles on the basis that they generate litter, but three years ago a state judge struck down that plan. So maybe just don’t throw ’em out the window, OK? There’s also good reason here to shout out to another new market that’s thriving despite puritanical protest. The new Kelly Liquors (Solana Center, 915 W Alameda, 954-1399) didn’t actually turn the north side into a den of iniquity. The narrow space has lots of local choices to go with that organic meal you just bought the fixings for at the co-op next door. (JAG)

one: Midtown’s Rowley Farmhouse Ales (1405 Maclovia St., 428-0719) for $14 and down at the Plaza Café Southside (3466 Zafarano Drive, 424-0755) for $12.49. They’re worth the trip, even for meat-eaters.

Rowley defeats the veganism immediately by serving it up with local cheddar cheese and adds a caramelized onion marmalade, which is delicious, but kind of makes it hard to pin down the taste of the burger itself. The Southside offering is as you’d normally order a burger, and you can build it to your own taste.

Speaking of, three of us on staff have tried it, and it really does taste like almost no other veggie burger out there. It’s still not a cowburger, but it’s a whole lot better for your psyche … and the cow’s. (MG) CONTINUED ON PAGE 77

Paper Dosa

551 W Cordova Road, 930-5521 There’s a steady stream of diners at Paper Dosa on a Thursday night, and yes, many of them are getting trademark pancakes rolled into large cones that hang off the plate. They’re also noshing on what our readers picked as the winner in the Best Curry category.

Yet some of the most lovely plates are in the form of splendid salads.

We devoured the peach and avocado version ($9.50) on a recent visits, celebrating the simple art of thinly sliced watermelon radishes exploding around the edge. Each item seemed carefully placed, from the mouthwatering fruit to its pumpkin seed companions. Symmetry and balance are obviously important in how it looks and tastes. (JAG)

Cleopatra Café

418 Cerrillos Road, 820-7381 My brother and I used to visit Cleopatra Café in the Design Center for the sheesh tewook chicken dish.

More than anything it was about making killer puns such as, “Oh, Sandra? Sheesh tewook here, but not anymore.” But as time went on and I gave up meat, I had to suss out the best in vegetarian options from local eateries.

Generally, like all veggie noobs, one winds up eating pizza and so much New Mexican food it’s nuts.

But Middle Eastern and Mediterranean fare really expand the options, and the food usually feels and tastes so fresh you deserve a treat.

Enter Cleopatra—and we’re not even talking about the fantastic falafel, because today? Today it’s all about the fries ($3.50). Thick and crispy and seasoned just right with who-even-knows-what, they’re practically impossible to beat around here and an unexpected item on a Middle Eastern menu that is, let’s face it, basically flawless.

EVENT SAT/28-SUN/29 MARKET VALUE Expect an especially colorful scene on the Plaza as it fills up with a veritable smorgasbord of woodcarving, tinwork, colcha, hide painting, retablos, straw appliqué, furniture, weaving, jewelry, filigree, pottery and ironwork. This annual array of works from New Mexico and Southern Colorado artists and craftspeople—now in its 67th year—is known to be rigorous in its traditional accuracy and excellent in its craftsmanship. Many of the artists depend on their craft as their only source of income, and styles vary widely but all contain signifiers of a four-century history. Plenty of traditional music and dance on the Bandstand accompanies the market, as well as a special Market Mass at 8 am Sunday at the Cathedral. (Eva Rosenfeld) Traditional Spanish Market: 8 am-5 pm Saturday and Sunday July 28 and 29. Free.

ART OPENING SAT/28 NEO-PICASSO Artist Brandon Maldonado adheres to Pablo Picasso’s alleged axiom that an eye in the socket will be taken for granted, but an eye on the forehead will be seen anew. In his paintings, he tries to create such a disjoint between the subject and the method; for Maldonado, the image is only a gesture toward a more profound metaphysical experience. In this exhibition, his striking subject matter is the people and cultures of Mexico, including imagery of flowering cacti, pre-quinceañera grooming and a re-imagining of La Calavera Catrina. Stylistically, he works mainly in cubism, but not without some psychedelia and 18th-century Baroque style thrown into the mix. (ER) Brandon Maldonado: Neo-Picassoism: 6 pm Saturday July 28. Free.

FILM WED/25

PARIS MANCINI

Dear Jon Filmmaker Jon Moritsugu kicks off the hype train for his newest flick Santa Fe transplant and celebrated underground filmmaker Jon Moritsugu has been busy. Since last year, he and his wife/muse/regular movie star Amy Davis have been tearing through the production of Moritsugu’s new opus and eighth feature, Numbskull Revolution, which also stars James Duval—perhaps you know him as Frank the bunny from Donnie Darko? Regardless, Moritsugu and Davis are full-fledged Santa Feans by this point, and the film also contains roles or cameos from local bands like Sex Headaches, local personalities like Jessie Deluxe and any number of blink-and-miss-it moments from the townsfolk.

“At any point you’ll look up at the screen and recognize two-thirds of the talent,” Moritsugu says.

But what’s the movie all about?

“It’s about conceptual artists; it’s a movie that’s making fun of the art world,” Moritsugu tells SFR. “But I’m an artist, too, so I’m making fun of myself as well as the metaphysical, poetic art stuff—as much as I’m making fun of artists, I’m paying homage to them.”

In the film, the successful but uptight conceptual artist Cucumber (played by Davis) runs afoul of her twin sister (also played by Davis), a big-time partier and polar opposite, as well as a former friend and collaborator (played by Duval) who hasn’t been nearly as successful.

Madness ensues. For Moritsugu, it’s a bit about the duality found within us all.

“Amy is acting with herself, and it becomes like the classic super ego versus the id,” he explains. “Our personalities are composed of these elements that are almost at war with each other; I’ve found that if I’m too uptight with myself, it’s fucked up; if I’m partying too much, it’s fucked up—it can’t just be one or the other.”

Moritsugu says that despite delays caused by a book deal he picked up to write his memoir, he’s roughly 75 percent done with the editing process and plans to showcase 10 to 15 minutes of Numbskull Revolution at the Center for Contemporary Arts. He’ll also screen a previous film, 1993’s Terminal USA, at the same event. The idea is to drum up some hype for the new flick and give moviegoers a look into his process.

“I thought there was going to be one path to so-called success,” Moritsugu muses, “but there are many roads that lead to different places. It’s all mutable, which is beautiful, but a hard thing to hold onto.” (Alex De Vore) NUMBSKULL REVOLUTION AND TERMINAL USA 8:30 pm Wednesday July 25. $10.

Free Fallin’ Santa Fe’s musical elite pay homage to the legendary Tom Petty

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

T

hree years ago when the Santa Fe Salutes series kicked off, a veritable who’s-who of Santa Fe musicians joined forces to celebrate the then recently deceased Prince (RIP, you sexy motherfucker). Before his death, however, the original plan had been to produce an event featuring the songs of David Bowie, who was still alive at the time.

“That was just out of mine and [AMP Concerts’] Jamie Lenfestey’s deep admiration for Bowie’s career,” says local musician and Santa Fe Salutes organizer Mikey Baker. “Then Prince passed away, and it was really Ross Hamlin who spearheaded that.” (Author’s note: if there’s a bigger Prince fan than Hamlin, we don’t know ’em.)

The show was a massive success—not only as a gathering of musicians who generally don’t wind up playing together, but as an attendance powerhouse that drew hundreds to the Railyard Plaza in celebration of Prince’s astounding body of work. Bowie, of course, returned to space not long after, and last year’s tribute event was jam-packed with his best music, brought in similar numbers

A recent rehersal for the Santa Fe Salutes tribute to Tom Petty.

and hosted an expanded list of guest musicians.

By now, Baker has the formula down pat for the third iteration of the series—a tribute to Tom Petty that coincides with this year’s SFR Best of Santa Fe party in the Railyard on Friday July 27.

It’s surprisingly complex stuff. You don’t realize how clever a lot of what Petty did could be.

-Mikey Baker

“What’s great is you kind of don’t realize the breadth of Petty’s catalog,” Baker explains. “I mean, you think ‘American Girl’ and ‘Learning to Fly’ or maybe some of the Traveling Wilburys stuff, but

this guy’s got a deep catalog. And, for the most part, everyone coming to me with song ideas had different songs.”

Thus, rather than thrusting musicians together, Baker says he went for a “lighter touch,” to help draw fully-formed bands to the bill such as Free Range Buddhas, the Hollyhocks, The Dildon’ts (full disclosure: I have a personal relationship with the Dildon’ts bassist, who longtime readers may know as my dumb friend Jasper), St. Range and more; as well as a bevy of solo floaters like Jessie Deluxe, Bill Palmer and Stephanie Hatfield, Mr. Kali, Busy McCarroll and, frankly, far too many more to mention here.

The bands and subsequent crossovers have been rehearsing for weeks now, putting the finishing touches on the straight-up tribute covers and slightly changed versions of popular Petty songs. “It’s surprisingly complex stuff,” Baker says.

“You don’t realize how clever a lot of what Petty did could be.”

Still, there’s a twinge of sadness creeping up from the edges of such a celebratory event. Petty, of course, died a mite before his time (thanks a bunch, opioids) during an era when music lost some of its

best and brightest. “There’s something very difficult with being excited about what is essentially a musical memorial service—there’s a bit of a pall hanging over it because that’s the reality of how it came about,” Baker says. “But it’s no secret I like putting on a big ol’ bash, and I don’t miss doing that all the time, but I do miss doing that occasionally—if I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it big.”

For Free Range Buddhas singer Francesca Jozette, it’s like a dream come true.

“I fucking love Tom Petty,” she says. “I was kind of obsessed with him in high school, so this is huge for me.”

Both Baker and Jozette are staying mum about who is performing which songs, but as long as someone does “You Don’t Know How it Feels” and/or “Last Dance with Mary Jane,” a good time is all but guaranteed for all. Oh, and don’t forget SFR will be there partying, so— win-win.

lue Rain Gallery in the Railyard is sun-drenched and quiet. After a few introductions, artist Roseta Santiago shows off a picture of her latest model; a photograph of a young Indigenous girl flashes on the smartphone screen, a profile shot against a neutral background.

“This girl is beautiful, but I know in her lineage that there is pain there,” Santiago says. “I look at how pain creates a person.

It makes them who they are.”

In her upcoming show, Santiago uses people to depict the memory and lifestyle of those “who were already here,” in the old world.

“She integrates contemporary ideas,” says Blue Rain executive director Peter Stoessel; “techniques within the historical perspectives of local Indigenous people.”

“These are people I know,” Santiago says, gesturing towards a piece called “Dreamcatcher Journey” in which she has painted five people’s different reactions to going through the dreamcatcher. The first figure, Gomeo, who appears in many of Santiago’s paintings, is a Zuni silversmith.

He stands at the front, leading the journey, eyes closed in concentration. Behind him, someone whose eyes are partially closed; and then, a nameless, more defiant figure.

The fourth, looking out at us, questions the experience. The last is completely shrouded; someone who has rejected the whole thing, maybe closed off to the experience altogether. Santiago says

I’ve been faithfully reading your column in the Chicago Reader for years, and now I’m reaching out to you about my own problem. I’ve been dating this guy for almost a year. Everything is great, except one thing: He wants me to kick him in the nuts. It really bothers me, and I’m not sure what to do. He’s very serious about it, and he brings it up every single day.

It makes me really uncomfortable that this is some sort of fetish of his and I need help taking steps forward.

-To Kick Or Not To Kick P.S. I play soccer and I kick hard.

It’s a kink called “ball busting,” TKONTK, and as long as you don’t kick him full force—or even half force—you’re unlikely to do permanent damage. That said, childless guys who are into ball busting are often advised to freeze their sperm just in case. And while it’s not a hugely popular kink, it’s common enough that ball busting porn exists, and ball busting Tumblrs, ball busting blogs, etc. Take it slow at first, particularly if your guy has only fantasized about this and not experienced it.

P.S. A guy who brings up his kink every single day deserves to be kicked in the nuts— unless he’s into ball busting, in which case he doesn’t deserve to be kicked in the nuts.

My husband and I were married in Toronto, Canada, in 2005, before marriage equality came to the United States. Does the US government recognize our Canadian marriage or do we need to remarry in the US? Can you find out from one of your legal friends?

-Does Our Marriage Apply?

“The US government does recognize your marriage,” said Robbie Kaplan, one of my legal friends—and the attorney who represented Edith Windsor before the US Supreme Court and won. In United States v. Windsor, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government was required to recognize legal samesex marriages, thereby gutting the Defense of Marriage Act. “We did the same thing,” Kaplan added. “We were married in Toronto in 2006, and the US recognizes our marriage. No need to get married again here.”

A romantic partner who says something as cruel and negating as what this man has said to you, SAP, either wants out of the relationship or is grooming their partner for much worse treatment to come. If he wants out of the relationship, the verbal and emotional abuse will escalate until you finally leave him.

If he doesn’t want out, the verbal and emotional abuse will escalate a bit more slowly, so that, like the proverbial frog in the pot of boiling water, you don’t realize exactly how bad it’s getting and how much damage it’s doing to you—and your kids.

I know it’s not what you wanted to hear, SAP, but I’m going to say it anyway: DTMFA. I’m a competent in-person lover, but I’m the worst at Skype/FaceTime/WhatsApp sex.

I can’t get the angle right, I don’t know what to wear, I feel shy, I don’t know what to say, I can’t get off, I giggle like a 15-year-old girl getting her first French kiss under the bleachers. I’m going to be away from my guy for most of the summer and I need to figure this out. Any advice or tips?

-Struggle Keeping Yonder Penis Entertained A 15-year-old girl may giggle the first time she gets French-kissed under the bleachers—or she may not—but a girl who giggles the first time probably isn’t going to be giggling the fiftieth. So just keep at it, try to relax and enjoy yourself, and ask your partner to take the lead, i.e., if you don’t know what to do, ask him to tell you what he’d like you to do, SKYPE—but only follow the orders you’re comfortable following.

What’s the fairest way to determine who should get tied up?

-Bondage Bottom Boyfriends Whoever was tied up last time does the tying up this time and vice versa.

Hi Dan, I am getting in touch because I thought you might be interested in the following article: “Getting to the Bottom of Pegging.” For open-minded people who are open to butt play, pegging is a great way to spice things up in the bedroom. But what exactly is pegging and why is it a thing now? Sex and relationships expert, Tami Rose, knows how important it is to try new things in the bedroom. She would be able to provide an article explaining what pegging is and tips for your more adventurous readers who want to give it a go. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

-[Redacted] PR Agency

Do you ever wear panties, Dan? Would you post a picture of yourself in panties online? I think you would look good in panties.

-Panties Are Nice To You

Pegging? Never heard of it. Wait—what’s that, Wikipedia? “Pegging is a sexual practice in which a woman performs anal sex on a man by penetrating the man’s anus with a strap-on dildo… The neologism “pegging” was popularized when it became the winning entry in a contest in Dan Savage’s Savage Love sex advice column [in 2001].”

“Enough is as good as a feast.” —Mary Poppins

I’m in a six-year relationship with a guy you will probably deem DTMFA-worthy but I

deem round-up-able to The One. My kids already regarded him as their stepdad before we moved in together about eight months ago. That’s when I learned he’s an addict: He drinks, smokes weed, and jerks off to porn for about two hours every day. He has been this way for more than 20 years, and I have zero delusions he will change for me. Recently he told me he has very little sexual desire for me, that he knows my pussy in and out and it’s boring, but he loves my companionship. How do I deal with this so we can move forward together as an incompatible couple?

While I have no particular aversion to wearing panties, PANTY, and while I will not deny the allure of the models at xdress.com, I’ve never worn panties and have no plans to start. As a consequence, I won’t be able to post a picture of myself in panties online to delight you and horrify everyone else.

Try to stay calm when we inform you of the upcoming touring edition of the New York Cat Film Festival.

Slated to show at the Jean Cocteau Cinema (3 pm and 4:30 pm Sunday July 29. $5. 418 Montezuma Ave., 466-5528), it sums up the life’s work of founder Tracie Hotchner, author of both The Cat Bible and The Dog Bible and former Sirius XM host of Cat Chat on the Martha Stewart Channel, who aims to educate and inspire through the power of artistically made short films about cats. Sold! We caught up with Hotchner for more info. (Alex De Vore) What’s with you and cats, lady?

Being someone who is not at all a fan of animal videos—I find them shaming of the animals—I thought, what if they could be something made with a purpose and an intention? Something with a heart and soul about it? Turns out there are a lot of those videos out there from people who have a lot to say.

What’s the difference between the festival and, say, YouTube?

It’s something profound and meaningful and not goofy. It’s the opposite of YouTube. ... Basically, I think documentarians and filmmakers are like poets. They [made the movies] out of love, and it ain’t America’s Funniest Cat Videos, I can tell you that. It’s a combination of documentaries and fun movies, and I say ‘fun’ because they can really be quite funny. There’s one about a cat groomer in New York City, there’s one about the American Museum of the House Cat in North Carolina and the crazy cat man who started it. There’s a beautiful movie set in Buenos Aires in a very famous cemetery and the cats that live there—what happened was Americans went in and tried to rescue them, which turned out not to be the best idea. There’s a wonderful film about a mostly feral cat that was adopted by a tennis court in California and the few people it gets close to and the people who wanted to be closer to the cat.

And you work with charities as well?

The intent is to give 10 percent of every ticket to a local animal welfare group. Strangely enough, there are people who don’t realize there are organizations in their town who do TNR [trapneuter-release] work and fostering. This is the Santa Fe premiere of the festival and we’re working with the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society. Unfortunately, they won’t be able to be there, but there are the people who care about them and volunteer and adopt. [The festival] is inspiring and philosophical, it’s not just some goofy fun—people come away really touched.

Iconik Coffee Roasters Santa Fe and its visitors have already latched on to Iconik as a go-to for coffee, hanging out and clicking away on laptops, but this year’s expanded menu means it’s also three meals a day of creative cuisine. For lunch or dinner, the Workman Sliders ($9) are something like a cross between everything that’s good about White Castle and a teeny tiny gyro. Three fried lamb patties topped with a creamy coleslaw and garnished with sauteed shishito peppers are good for sharing, but also for hoarding. For breakfast or brunch, choose one of the house-made bagels and build your own combo ($3.50). Our fave is smothered in cream cheese and topped with sauteed vegetables (that adds another $1.50). This thing is literally a hot mess, and it’s fingerlicking good. A selection of fresh-baked pastries and cookies rounds out any meal, and pour-over coffee that’s sourced from all over the world is, of course, what keeps the doors open. While the wood-draped interior and its funky collection of chairs, couches and bancos make for a cozy, lively interior space, a roomy patio is another hip seating option. Counter service also means no negotiating with the waitstaff—just good conversation or solo solace. (JAG)

India House Travelers share an adage: A restaurant with a full parking lot is probably good. The lunchtime crowd at India House reminds you this is true. Diners who want in on the healthy, tasty buffet ($12.95) from 11 am-2:30 pm every day pack the house, and it’s an old house—having served South Indian cuisine for 25 years. Patriarch Kewal Dhindsa left generations of farmers when he immigrated to the US and found it only natural to keep growing what he cooked here. Now, he mostly stays close to home and tends the 1.25-acre family vegetable garden that provides all the restaurant’s mint and many of its other goodies from the ground. Sons Amrick and Pawan mind the store at the establishment that’s well-known for attentive service and not as wellknown for serving primarily organic vegetables.

Each day’s popular lunch line includes dishes like creamy chicken tandoori, crispy vegetable pakoras and flavorful dal makhani. There’s no buffet for dinner, but that leaves room for adventure in the menu from the not-so-spicy Punjab tradition.

Osteria D’Assisi Look no further for authentic Italian cuisine than Osteria, and it’s served in a decidedly unstuffy and farmhouse-esque environment amid cheery rooms, stellar service and, often, live piano music. Owner Lino Pertusini hails from Italy—as do almost all ingredients used in crafting the menu. He has sought to create food and atmosphere to rival his homeland and a more upscale experience than his other, admittedly excellent, Santa Fe establishment, Pizzeria and Trattoria da Lino on Guadalupe Street. Osteria’s hearty appetizers such as the soup of the day ($7) and fried calamari ($14) prepare the way for lunch or dinner choices such as the lightly breaded and sinfully cheesy pollo parmigiana ($17-$25), unfathomably tender piccata di vitello veal chop ($32) or osso buco e risotto ($37). Osteria’s is not an expansive menu, but it’s a refreshing lack of clutter and specials change often. Housemade tiramisu ($8.50) sweetens the deal, and with lunch combos featuring salads and sandwiches, you won’t break the bank.

¡POUR VIDA¡ Whiskey and Clay’s cups fit a shot of whiskey, a dash of water and an ice cube.

COURTESY WHISKEY AND CLAY

Whiskey in the Cup

BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

K

immy Rohrs has been making pottery for five years under the label Whiskey and Clay, and moved to Santa Fe from Austin in October 2017. A former accountant with a passion for long-distance running and restoring vintage cars, Rohrs’ ceramic aesthetic is based in undyed neutral colors of cream and ecru punctuated by shades of caramel and brown.

And a dash or two of whiskey.

“I’d get off work and get on my wheel and throw clay and drink whiskey at night,” Rohrs explains. “My go-to drink is whiskey and water, and these cups are the perfect size for a shot of whiskey and a little water and an ice cube.”

To achieve her creations, she marbles clay that blends stoneware and porcelain together. Stoneware is stronger and more durable than porcelain, and displays a creamy white color that adds substance and depth to the final pieces. They are high-fired in a kiln up to 2,300 degrees, and Rohrs uses one glaze to achieve subtle permutations of visual texture, reducing the level of oxygen in her kiln to create small shadows of red-tinged, ferrous drips against a striated backdrop.

The colors evoke the caramels and dark brown shades of the spirits meant to occupy the cups.

While whiskey is traditionally served in glass, the case can definitely be made to drink it out of a handmade ceramic vessel.

After all, whiskey is unlike wine in that its aromas do not measurably improve when exposed to oxygen. It is a higherproof alcoholic beverage made from various grains fermented into a mash which is then distilled. Depending on the types of grains, method of distillation and oak aging, whiskey can demonstrate a cornucopia of flavor characteristics such as coffee, chocolate, wood and fire, with roasted notes of walnuts, vanilla, brown sugar, caramel and honey. Other notes include anise, citrus, florals, apricot, hay and dried fruits. Depending on the style, whiskey can range in alcohol by volume anywhere from 40 to 68 percent, although the lower-proof iterations are better for sipping or showing on their own.

The sharp aroma of ethanol can sometimes interfere with the proper enjoyment of whiskey’s complex attributes, particularly when served in small glass tumblers. Although different whiskies open differently depending on the glassware used, these handmade whiskey cups are a welcome addition to a well-stocked bar cabinet.

Rohrs’ cups resemble the clay jícaras traditionally used to serve mezcal, with a wider, more open mouth allowing for better dissipation of nose-burning whiffs of alcohol. Mezcal is an agave-based

A fresh new line of ceramics is set to revive an old fashioned approach to drinking

distilled spirit, but unlike tequila, it’s not limited to one species. International appreciation for its many flavors and permutations grows daily, and many whiskey drinkers enjoy its smoky, earthy character. Fine mezcal also clocks in at an alcohol content of 40 percent by volume, and while Rohrs’ creations are slightly larger than a jícara, the shape is similarly conducive to the proper enjoyment of a nuanced, higher-proof spirit.

“Mezcal is another of my favorite things to drink out of these,” Rohrs says with a grin. “But ‘Mezcal and Clay’ just sounded kind of weird.”

While Whiskey and Clay’s other wares are currently featured locally at places

Although Whiskey and Clay’s cups are ideal for enjoying basic libations, local bartender and herbalist Laurel Hunziker crafted an apricot Old-Fashioned to be served in the unique containers.

Ingredients • • • •

1 muddled apricot 2-3 dashes cardamom molasses bitters from Ocotillo Herbals 2 ounces rye whiskey Dash honey

Directions • • •

Muddle the apricot and honey into the cup, add bitters, then add whiskey.

Stir to chill.

Garnish with an orange twist or apricot slice.

Showroom (830 Canyon Road, 357-0441), Opuntia Café (922 Shoofly St.) and Alembic Apothecary (1200 Hickox St.)—the latter of which is soon to become the studio space and storefront for Whiskey and Clay beginning in August—for now, the line of whiskey cups is featured for $20 a pop exclusively at Better Together (1703 Lena St., 738-1800). The store is the passion project of Daisy Geoffrey, a 29-year-old entrepreneur who previously worked in public relations and marketing for the Santa Fe Opera.

Located in a vibrant turquoise-painted brick building, Geoffrey’s shop carries a selection of cool, comfortable clothing for men and women, sustainably produced makeup and skin products, jewelry and housewares.

“I just feel like there are young people in Santa Fe who don’t have the chance to express themselves through their fashion,” Geoffrey says. “I want to have a lot of community events too. I think there’s a lot of creatives in Santa Fe who need an outlet for what they’re doing.”

In that vein, she hosts the debut party for Whiskey and Clay’s line of whiskey cups on Friday July 27.

Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot Review

RATINGS BEST MOVIE EVER

The life and times of cartoonist John Callahan

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

+ PHOENIX IS

When Portland, Oregon-based cartoonist John Callahan died in 2010 at 59 years old, the New York Times obituary wasted no time in hitting on descriptions like “paraplegic” and “alcoholic.” Yes, Callahan did find himself wheelchair-bound after a night of over-drinking led to a car accident—he wasn’t even driving—but in Gus Van Sant’s retelling of Callahan’s life story, Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot (based on the book by Callahan), the moral winds up landing fairly far from cautionary drunk driving tale, instead asking us to question our own motivations, forgive when possible and, ultimately, to choose life.

Callahan is here portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, one of contemporary film’s most committed character actors. As Callahan, Phoenix captures an eerie combination of charming and asshole, from the self-pitying early days of his paralysis to the barely restrained joy of becoming the regular cartoonist for Willamette Week (SFR’s sister paper, by the way). It’s no solo journey, however, and Jonah Hill’s turn as Callahan’s sponsor Donnie is

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER

STELLAR; JOYFUL - OCCASIONALLY SLOWS TO A SLOG

surprisingly rich for the usually goofy actor. Perhaps he’s growing as a performer?

Regardless, and despite the film’s best efforts, Donnie’s story is overshadowed by Callahan— which may seem obvious given the central premise, but when we discover Donnie died of AIDS, the news is delivered fleetingly; short shrift for a savior role, but again—this is Callahan’s journey.

And it is triumphant, all things considered. We watch as he slowly regains relative use of his hands and develops his illustrative style; we cheer as he builds a relationship with his one-time physical therapist Annu (Rooney Mara); we feel alongside Callahan as he searches for the mother who gave him up for adoption.

But as we wonder whether we could survive paralysis (or would even want to), Don’t Worry dips painfully close to boring. It’s certainly fun to see

punk rock legends like Kim Gordon and Carrie Brownstein tackle minimal roles as a fellow alcoholic and a social worker, respectively, but outside of the moment wherein you recognize them, we’re talking characters who ultimately have very little to do with anything. Even Jack Black’s appearance as the ill-fated driver in Callahan’s accident feels almost unimportant, or at least like it could have been just anyone in the role.

Still, the film grows on you, leading the charge from a deep place of depression to something akin to redemption, or at least self-forgiveness.

DON’T WORRY, HE WON’T GET FAR ON FOOT

Directed by Van Sant With Phoenix, Mara, Black, Gordon and Brownstein Violet Crown, R, 114 min.

+ AN ORGY OF JUMP CUTS; CHUCK D STANDING BY HIS LYRICS

- ELVIS AS METAPHOR? MEH

The lead-up to the 2016 presidential election horrified half the country or more, forcing into mainstream discussion whether the republic itself would atrophy as badly as the American dream already had. To illustrate the derangement, filmmaker Eugene Jarecki (Freakonomics, Why We Fight) laid hands on Elvis Presley’s shitbox of a 1963 Rolls Royce, retrofitted it with cameras and drove across the nation as Americans considered whether to send Donald Trump to the White House.

Jarecki slapped Elvis’ life, career and deathon-a-toilet over the nation’s sordid history, visiting living rooms in the King’s birthplace of Tupelo, Mississippi, filling the backseat of the Rolls with a parade of incredible musicians and piping in sad interview clips of Elvis lamenting his loneliness to tell viewers that capitalism will eventually eat itself. David Simon (creator of The Wire and current Twitter exile) complains that Jarecki should’ve used one of Elvis’ madein-America Cadillacs—the Rolls breaks down several times, notably with alt-country growler Mary Gauthier about to belt out a tune in the back seat.

7

SHOCK AND AWE

Van Jones (former Obama aide, current CNN host) bigfoots Jarecki, schooling him up on how Elvis was nothing more than cultural appropriation personified; Public Enemy’s Chuck D says fuck all that, “culture is culture,” but stands by the famous lyric from “Fight the Power:” “Elvis was a hero to most, but he never

ANT MAN AND THE WASP

meant shit to me you see, straight-up racist that sucker was.”

The film’s exploration of massive, difficult themes is nakedly ambitious, as was Elvis’ insatiable grab for money, fame and everything that comes with them. Ethan Hawke appears to have made much of the trip with Jarecki,

6

SICARIO: DAY OF THE SOLDADO

and Hawke tosses a bow around the metaphor by describing Elvis as a perfect symbol for imperial America, whose chief export once was democracy but now is capitalism. It’s probably a reach, and the comparison struggles in spots— though the surprise of it and the interspersal of old footage of everything from the Vietnam war to Elvis’ final performance delighted us.

The nighttime shots make the film luxurious and drippy, and Jarecki has sorted a way to stitch together a million jump cuts without making us dizzy. But this is no happy repackaging of either the Presley or American myths. Still, EmiSunshine wailing away in the back of that Rolls brings just enough feels to even the scales.

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU

Filmmaker Eugene Jarecki does the Elvis thing in The King.

+ SNEAKS UP ON YOU; MAGIC REALISM - SOME LOOSE THREADS; SOME SUPERFLUOUS SCENES

Fans of Donald Glover’s bizarrely brilliant TV series Atlanta will no doubt recognize Lakieth Stanfield (also of Get Out fame) as the sidekick to Paper Boi, Darius. As Cassius in Sorry to Bother You from writer/director Boots Riley, Stanfield brings a similar subtle vulnerability to his first big-screen starring role.

Cassius is a struggling Oakland resident with an artsy girlfriend who is probably too good for him (Westworld’s Tessa Thompson in white might be her most natural performance yet), a goofy pal and a new job with a multitiered telemarketing firm. But when his low-paid coworkers attempt to unionize, Cassius is forced to choose between standing on the side of what’s right or finally making a decent living. As always, those in power wind up being evil.

With a little help from screen vet Danny Glover, Stanfield’s character adopts a white voice (David Cross) to help close sales.

His stats skyrocket and he is thrust into the highest echelons of the company—a place where his boss (played by Common and voiced

by Patton Oswalt) can spin arms sales and legalized slavery as good things, a place where one of the telemarketing firm’s clients (Armie Hammer) spouts off-handed racist claptrap and spearheads an utterly dark special project.

Cassius becomes unfortunately privy to said project and hijinks ensue, yes, but also social commentary and terrifyingly strange conditions punctuate the sad-funny jabs at modern America.

Sorry to Bother You transforms just before the final act from an Office Space-esque riffing on contemporary office culture to a silly—though not entirely unthinkable—nightmare akin to Jordan Peele’s critically adored Get Out. The film’s descent into glorious controlled chaos is so sudden and jarring that we don’t have time to catch our breath before we are forced to accept the sci-fi lite absurdity. And we do so with relish; empathizing with Cassius as a man who finally felt like someone, but hating him for how he does it; fearing the corporatization of everything under the sun and the subsequent deregulated madness, but identifying with the powerlessness of the working class all through the fever dream insanity of Cassius’ meteoric rise and humiliating fall.

SHOCK AND AWE

7

+ FEELS SO GOOD TO BE RIGHT - PRETTY HEAVY-HANDED AT TIMES

A baby-faced American soldier, wheelchairbound, glides silently across a courtroom floor and explains to a judge that he was boots-onthe-ground in Iraq for precisely three hours when a roadside IED tore through his squad, severing his spinal cord and killing the rest.

“How the hell does this happen?” he angrily asks.

This question is at the center of Rob Reiner’s Shock and Awe, a drama about the post-9/11 era of Bush-Cheney, the occupation of Iraq and the dangerous implications of a

Westworld’s Tessa Thompson wows in Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You, a bizarre and chilling takedown of capitalism.

government lying to its people. But it’s also a tale of heroic journalism against seemingly insurmountable odds and a sort of early-aughts parallel to that most famous newspaper movie of all time, All the President’s Men. It’s here we meet Warren Strobel (James Marsden) and Jonathan Landay (Woody Harrelson), two very real Knight-Ridder journos who unearthed the absurd motivations behind war in the Middle East post-9/11 despite a shocking lack of evidence, alongside their valiant chief editor John Walcott (Reiner).

As the rest of the country’s mainstream media pushes out the government’s false narrative (remember when the New York Times apologized to its readers?), Strobel and Landay follow the actual facts, reporting the truth as their friends and family and even the American public doubt their credibility and work.

Today, of course, we know these men to have been right—Hussein may have been evil, but he certainly didn’t possess WMDs, nor was he in cahoots with Bin Laden; Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and Bush and Cheney were … well, fuck ’em, we should’ve been in Afghanistan— the point is, these journalists were right and eventually acknowledged for their fine work and bravery. God bless the Fourth Estate, right?

Still, for every satisfying moment or silly little in-joke about copy editing, there are truly perplexing choices. Like if the journalist Joe Galloway (Tommy Lee Jones) was so vital to Strobel and Landay’s ongoing good work, why

is the role relegated to a few tired lines about how he’s old or how glory is for the young folk?

And that war veteran from before? We catch snippets of his journey from small town boy to disabled former soldier, but as far as Shock and Awe’s “they’re sending your kids to a needless death!” agenda goes, it seems painfully underdeveloped and all too brief. Borderline emotionally manipulative, even. Perhaps Reiner was really just looking to illustrate his point— y’know, to really drive it home—but they feel like scenes from a different film. And besides, we were pissed off enough already.

Shock and Awe paints a fine history lesson, though, and a provides a good reminder that the good old US of A would be a hell of a lot more terrifying if there weren’t brave newspaper folk who’ve made it their lives’ work to shine a light on powerful assholes being assholes. Wow. Who would’ve thought a movie about kickass journalism would resonate with us? (ADV) Jean Cocteau Cinema, R, 90 min.

ANT MAN AND THE WASP

7

+ RUDD RULES; TINY STUFF IS SO FUN - WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS STUFF AGAIN? A RIDICULOUS REASON? OK, COOL.

With the recent spate of Marvel Studios films erring toward the awfully serious (obviously not counting Guardians of the Galaxy 2 or Thor: Ragnarok, itself basically a Guardians movie), it’s always enjoyable when things get a little

less heavy-handed and more outlandishly fun. And that’s what the Ant Man series has already become known for, thanks to celebrated character actor and all-around charmer Paul Rudd as the onetime thief Scott Lang.

Previously, Lang and his buds Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Pym’s daughter Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) foiled the evil Yellowjacket, a villain who tried to turn Pym’s shrink-a-majig technology into weaponized paraphernalia for shadowy governments and the like. This time, however, it’s a rescue mission when we learn that Pym’s wife Janet (Michelle Pfieffer) was thrust into the quantum void (now that’s small, baby!) 30-ish years ago, but maybe she’s still alive even though she’d obviously have no access to food or water, but whatever—this is Marvel, motherfucker.

The bad news, though, is that Lang is stuck serving out a two-year house arrest sentence because of his escapades in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War (the government has laws that work against superheroes doing superhero stuff). But when a mysterious baddie called Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) shows up to try and steal the aforementioned Pym tech, Lang and the gang have to hit the streets to do stuff. Caught up? Good.

Rudd, who also co-wrote the script, is as wonderful as ever, a great combination of magnetic jokester and former criminal with a heart of gold. His posse (played here by Michael Peña, Tip “TI” Harris and some guy who isn’t a celebrity yet so who cares?) enters CONTINUED ON PAGE 101

“I’ll do wasp stuff, you do ant stuff,” says Evangeline Lily in Ant Man and the Wasp. the fray as well, and the race against the clock begins because for some reason they only have two hours to get the wife out of the void.

If this feels like a lot of exposition, it is. Ant Man and The Wasp is, in fact, mostly characters explaining things between fight scenes that, while fun, most often don’t really need to happen. If these people can shrink and enlarge at will, why do they ever bother fighting to retrieve things instead of sneaking in and out? It’s certainly thrilling to watch Ghost phase in and out of existence, but her backstory feels more like a tacked-on bit of trivia than a true motivator. Alas, as well, for the ultra-talented Laurence Fishburne’s appearance is minimal and tangental at best; Douglas is onscreen way too much and Lilly is dimensionless and bland.

Thank goodness for Rudd, then, as he can carry just about anything and look great while doing it. We know that looks shouldn’t matter, but let’s face it—they do. And in the end, we get another little slice of the overall Marvel universe, a respite from the melodrama and another summertime jam in a nice, cool theater. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 118 min.

SICARIO: DAY OF THE SOLDADO

6

nosed teenagers whose cousins think it’s a good idea to turn them into illegal border crossing guides. Woof.

What hurts the most is the first hour’s riveting setup and execution. We kind of love-hate Brolin’s character, Matt-something, but we also hate terrorists so, like, who’s the real bad guy here? We even start to develop a connection with the kidnapped cartel princess, which is right around the time the pacing slows to a slog and the players start to develop a collective conscience of some kind. Or do they? No, seriously—I’m asking.

As always, Del Toro is pretty great and Brolin really has perfected his disaffected tough guy shtick, but when a fantastic character actor like Catherine Keener is underused to the tune of pointlessness and the rest of the characters don’t even get names outside of, probably, Shadowy Soldier 3, it stings. Director Stefano Sollima (you don’t know him, promise) does his best, and there are some downright gorgeous shots of the desert, but Sicario: Day of the Soldado loses us right at the moment we’d been hooked. Oh, it’s not that it isn’t mostly entertaining enough for the most part, it’s just that it seriously becomes boring. Drag. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 122 min.

+ KILLER BEGINNING; LANDSCAPES - THE SLOW BUT SURE DESCENT INTO BORING

I didn’t see the first Sicario movie. It was just one of those things where every time I had the chance I was like, “Eh, not in the mood.” The real downside of this, though, was that all of my “movie expert” buddies gave me long-winded speeches about how it was a glorious new take on the mafia movie (or something), and that Benicio del Toro was, like, so totally good. I still haven’t seen it.

In the sequel, we join the clandestine world of shadowy government operatives who totally shift international power balances for the US government by doing subterfuge and torturing modern-day pirates and stuff.

A returning Josh Brolin is one such guy—the kind of fixer who gets called in when the chips are down and gross stuff needs doing. This is why the Secretary of Defense (played here by Matthew Modine, who is presumably enjoying some Stranger Things heat) sends him to Mexico to kidnap a cartel king’s daughter so said cartel will start a war with some other cartel. My dumb friends could probably tell you the girl’s dad did something in the first movie, but I’ll just tell you that Alejandro (Del Toro) wants revenge on this sucker, so he gets involved, too.

But nothing ever goes as planned in movies (that’s pretty much the whole thing about movies), and as the sneaky cartel war kickoff party goes awry, we learn all kinds of nasty things about the cartels and America and even snot-

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of July 25th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be extra polite and deferential.

Cultivate an exaggerated respect for the status quo. Spend an inordinate amount of time watching dumb TV shows while eating junk food. Make sure you’re exposed to as little natural light and fresh air as possible. JUST KIDDING! I lied! Ignore everything I just said! Here’s my real advice: Dare yourself to feel strong positive emotions. Tell secrets to animals and trees. Swim and dance and meditate naked. Remember in detail the three best experiences you’ve ever had. Experiment with the way you kiss. Create a blessing that surprises you and everyone else. Sing new love songs. Change something about yourself you don’t like. Ask yourself unexpected questions, then answer them with unruly truths that have medicinal effects.

has those meanings, as well as others, including “tenderness,” “fineness,” “suavity,” “respect,” and “urbanity.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I’m making it your word of power for the next three weeks.

You’re in a phase when you will thrive by expressing an abundance of these qualities. It might be fun to temporarily give yourself the nickname Delicadeza.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your past is not quite what it seems. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to find out why—and make the necessary adjustments. A good way to begin would be to burrow back into your old stories and unearth the half-truths buried there. It’s possible that your younger self wasn’t sufficiently wise to understand what was really happening all those months and years ago, and as a result distorted the meaning of the events. I suspect, too, that some of your memories aren’t actually your own, but rather other people’s versions of your history. You may not have time to write a new memoir right now, but it might be healing to spend a couple of hours drawing up a revised outline of your important turning points.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): One of the most famously obtuse book-length poems in the English language is Robert Browning’s Sordello, published in 1840. After studying it at length, Alfred Tennyson, who was Great Britain’s Poet Laureate from 1850 to 1892, confessed, “There were only two lines in it that I understood.”

Personally, I did better than Tennyson, managing to decipher 18 lines. But I bet that if you read this dense, multi-layered text in the coming weeks, you would do better than me and Tennyson. That’s because you’ll be at the height of your cognitive acumen. Please note: I suggest you use your extra intelligence for more practical purposes than decoding obtuse texts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ready for your financial therapy session? For your first assignment, make a list of the valuable qualities you have to offer the world, and write a short essay about why the world should abundantly reward you for them. Assignment #2: Visualize what it feels like when your valuable qualities are appreciated by people who matter to you. #3: Say this: “I am a rich resource that ethical, reliable allies want to enjoy.” #4: Say this: “My scruples can’t be bought for any amount of money. I may rent my soul, but I’ll never sell it outright.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Uninformed scientists scorn my oracles. Reductionist journalists say I’m just another delusional fortuneteller. Materialist cynics accuse me of pandering to people’s superstition. But I reject those naive perspectives. I define myself as a psychologically astute poet who works playfully to liberate my readers’ imaginations with inventive language, frisky stories, and unpredictable ideas. Take a cue from me, Scorpio, especially in the next four weeks. Don’t allow others to circumscribe what you do or who you are. Claim the power to characterize yourself. Refuse to be squeezed into any categories, niches, or images—except those that squeeze you the way you like to be squeezed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.” So said Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. I don’t have any judgment about whether her attitude was right or wrong, wise or illadvised. How about you? Whatever your philosophical position might be, I suggest that for the next four weeks you activate your inner Jane Austen and let that part of you shine—not just in relation to whom and what you love but also with everything that rouses your passionate interest. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re due for some big, beautiful, radiant zeal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “There are truths I haven’t even told God,” confessed Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector. “And not even myself. I am a secret under the lock of seven keys.” Are you harboring any riddles or codes or revelations that fit that description, Capricorn?

Are there any sparks or seeds or gems that are so deeply concealed they’re almost lost? If so, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to bring them up out their dark hiding places. If you’re not quite ready to show them to God, you should at least unveil them to yourself. Their emergence could spawn a near-miracle or two.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What are your goals for your top two alliances or friendships? By that I mean, what would you like to accomplish together? How do you want to influence and inspire each other? What effects do you want your relationships to have on the world? Now maybe you’ve never even considered the possibility of thinking this way. Maybe you simply want LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As you wobble and stumble to enjoy your bonds and see how they evolve rather into the New World, you shouldn’t pretend you underthan harnessing them for greater goals. That’s fine. No stand more than you actually do. In fact, I advise you to pressure. But if you are interested in shaping your conplay up your innocence and freshness. Gleefully nections with a more focused sense of purpose, the acknowledge you’ve got a lot to learn. Enjoy the libercoming weeks will be an excellent time to do so. ating sensation of having nothing to prove. That’s not just the most humble way to proceed; it’ll be your PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In Janet Fitch’s novel smartest and most effective strategy. Even people who White Oleander, a character makes a list of “twentyhave been a bit skeptical of you before will be softened seven names for tears,” including “Heartdew. Griefhoney. by your vulnerability. Opportunities will arise because Sadwater. Die tränen. Eau de douleur. Los rios del corazón.” of your willingness to be empty and open and raw.

(The last three can be translated as “The Tears,” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Since 1358, the city of Paris “Water of Pain,” and “The Rivers of the Heart.”) I invite you to emulate this playfully extravagant approach to has used the Latin motto Fluctuat nec mergitur, which the art of crying. The coming weeks will be en excellent can be translated as “She is tossed by the waves but time to celebrate and honor your sadness, as well as all does not sink.” I propose that we install those stirring the other rich emotions that provoke tears. You’ll be words as your rallying cry for the next few weeks. My analysis of the astrological omens gives me confidence wise to feel profound gratitude for your capacity to feel so deeply. For best results, go in search of experiences that even though you may encounter unruly weather, and insights that will unleash the full cathartic power you will sail on unscathed. What might be the metaof weeping. Act as if empathy is a superpower. phorical equivalent of taking seasick pills?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Spanish word delicadeza Homework: Do you have a liability that could be turned into an asset with a little (or a lot of) work? Testify at can have several meanings in English, including “delicacy” and “finesse.” The Portuguese word delicadeza Freewillastrology.com.
