“…a BEAUTIFUL and INTRIGUING score…” — Santa Fe New Mexican

“Daniel Okulitch is a SPLENDID Don Giovanni, HANDSOME of visage and voice, at once cocky and suave, SEDUCTIVE and dangerous.” — Santa Fe New Mexican
The premiere of The Girl of the Golden West at The Metropolitan Opera in 1910 was a spectacular success in every way. Puccini, famed composer of Madame Butterfly and La Boheme, fell in love with the story of the California Gold Rush. He created an opera that inspired signature portrayals of saloon mistresses, triggering hundreds of “Spaghetti Western” films.
Mozart’s famous piece tells the story of “Don Juan” through a flawless combination of hilarity, fear, romance and tragedy — delivered with incredible voices and powerfully rich orchestral music. It is a visual feast, served with magnificent set design and sophisticated video projections.
Santa Fe Opera’s production features Patricia Racette as Minnie, the tough and tender saloon owner who knows just how to handle the boys.
Santa Fe New Mexican describes Don Giovanni as “…irresistible and unmissable!”

GOUNOD
“If I cannot be his, I’ll let the grave be my wedding-bed.” Shakespeare’s immortal tale of star-crossed lovers has inspired hundreds, if not thousands, of adaptions. Gounod’s lush music makes the heart leap and the rest of the world seem to disappear as he immerses us in the sound of youth and of overwhelming love. We invite you to reacquaint yourself with the world’s favorite pair of lovers. www.SantaFeOpera.org 505-986-5900 800-280-4654

HUZZAH FOR STEGE Wow, [SFR]. Your opera writer is really good. Where did you get him? STEVE FORRESTER PUBLISHER, DAILY ASTORIAN Editor’s note: John Stege has been writing about opera since Mozart was a pup, and he’s been in the SFR family since 1986.
Thanks, Alex, for including me alongside these creators. For those of you who remember the series I produce with Monica, I promise there’s more Raised By Squirrels in the works. New Mexico has such a amazing, vibrant and friendly comics scene—I encourage anyone interested in independent comics and making them to follow 7000 BC, which offers resources and advice for creators, as well as opportunities to just hang out with others making comics. And beyond the great people mentioned in the article, check out the work of other locals making comics and supporting the community, including Jamie Chase, Christian Beranek, Skylar Patridge, Willow Tomeo and Enrique “SYKRYK” Martinez (I’m sure I’m leaving someone out).
So a journalist uncovered this alleged crime. I wonder what hasn’t been uncovered. Boy oh boy, I sure would like to know. Legislators: some are just like mobsters. Well, the real good part is you can’t hide anything from the man upstairs!

Mexican Wolves Could Lose Protections
If a rider on an appropriations bill the US House passed on July 14 sticks, it’ll effectively remove the Mexican wolf from the Endangered Species list. Rep. Steve Pearce, a Republican from Las Cruces, proposed the amendment, which states that none of the funds allocated for the next fiscal year to the US Fish and Wildlife Service can be used to treat Mexican wolves as endangered or threatened and that no funds can be used to implement a recovery plan outside the historic range of the Mexican wolf. In a press statement, Pearce referenced a recent report from the inspector general that substantiated management complaints from Catron County’s Board of Commissioners about the Mexican Gray Wolf Recovery Program, in the hands of a former

coordinator of the Interagency Field Team. Their investigation found the Fish and Wildlife Service, which oversees the recovery program, had failed to effectively document some nuisance complaints, communicate with livestock owners and handle livestock depredations and compensation. The report also found the agency was aware of the concerns and had taken steps to address the problems. “FWS has consistently proven its inability to manage the Mexican Wolf program in New Mexico. This is clear in the recent Inspector General report substantiating claims from Catron County that those at the top levels of the program at FWS tolerated a culture of lies, falsification, mismanagement, and manipulation of scientific data, ultimately at the cost of public trust and species recovery,” Pearce said in a press release; he declared it time to give management of the program back to the states. Even as it has rebuffed the introduction of captive-born pups into New Mexico’s wild wolf population, the state Department of Game and Fish has expressed an interest in increasing Mexican wolf numbers to allow for hunting them again.

Private, but Public Two New Mexico newspapers and an advocacy group filed a public records lawsuit against Corizon Health on Tuesday, claiming that the prison health care contractor is performing a governmental function and should therefore be subject to the same transparency laws. The Santa Fe New Mexican and Albuquerque Journal this summer asked Corizon to hand over settlement documents related to the medical care of prisoners in state correctional facilities. Corizon instead produced a table listing names of facilities and settlement amounts, and officials asked for a twoweek extension to produce the actual documents with the names of prisoners. The company later reversed its position, claiming it signed confidentiality agreements with the prisoners and therefore did not have any obligation to produce the records. Not so, says Daniel Yohalem, one of the attorneys representing the three parties. He points to case law that says

public disclosure should take precedence over voluntary confidentiality agreements. (Yohalem is also representing SFR in a separate public records lawsuit against the governor’s office.) “We believe it’s important that the same standards of public accountability should apply when government outsources essential functions to private contractors,” writes Albuquerque Journal editor Kent Walz in an email to SFR. Corizon, which at one point provided medical services at 10 state facilities, was the subject of a Santa Fe New Mexican investigation revealing that since it took over prison care in 2007, scores of prisoners sued the contractor for medical neglect. The state announced in May that it would drop the company’s contract. (Steven Hsieh)

Transit center project moves on after conflict between the city and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum BY EL IZABE TH M I LLE R el i zab eth @ s fre p o r te r.co m
W
hen a small crowd assembled at the downtown library on June 23 to see the plans for sprucing up the nearby hub of the city bus system, which had been more than a decade in the making, attendees mostly had one question: Where were the seats and bus shelters? “If you have no place to sit, it seems kind of ludicrous,” said Sonya-María Martinez, a community organizer with Chainbreaker Collective. “Out of respect to transit riders, you do need seating. … Otherwise, you’re wasting money.” The Santa Fe Trails Sheridan Avenue stop hasn’t been anyone’s favorite route to anywhere. What’s referred to as the “transit center” is a generally overlooked access point to the Plaza—except on those occasions when it’s used to house the port-a-potties during Fiestas. But the city has crafted a vision to turn that street and its row of benches and awnings into an enjoyable corridor for pedestrians, as well as a pleasant stop for passengers on the 150 trips city buses make to that stop each weekday. Without shelter from the sun, rain, snow and wind, one meeting attendee asked, who would want to ride the bus, and what good is a transit system without riders? City Project Manager Mary MacDonald didn’t want to make promises on when, but she assured attendees that the area would eventually include new shelters—when there was more money than the $2 million federal grant awarded to the project. And, she added, perhaps when councilors and the mayor felt a little political pressure from their constituents to make shelters a priority. “So there will be seating there?” Martinez asked. “Oh yes. In time,” MacDonald replied. She just didn’t want to specify when, she said, given the various federal, state and local pots from which money could come. As it turns out, that time is now. “That was a little bit of misguidance. The budget was available,” David Pfeifer, city facilities division director, tells SFR. Bus shelters have returned to the plans, Pfeifer says, and will be part of the construction bids when those go out in September. And good thing, because the New Mexico Department of Transportation, which is administering the federal funds, selected the transit center based on the project described in the application, “which included transit shelters/ covered waiting areas and benches,” Matt Kennicott, director of communication for the department, wrote in an email to SFR. “This project, as is the case with any other project, must be implemented as it was proposed in the application.”
Designs for improvements to today’s “transit center” almost didn’t have benches or shelter.

turns carrying on-call phones. First responders seem to understand the limits of the new resource available to them. “Until we have a system where we have a bunch of Laurels readily available, or a system in which someone like Laurel can be directly dispatched, it’s not practical to apply that resource to every psychiatric call we get,” says Tsosie, who currently works for a city fire department program that aims to pull frequent 911-callers out of destructive cycles . Presbyterian’s contract is good for another three years before it is up for renewal. For the time being, the team will continue to aim for 20 to 25 call-outs a month, though Boschelli says there are talks with the county to develop a center that would be able to service more patients. Looking toward the more immediate future, Boschelli says Presbyterian wants to divert people experiencing mental health crises, except in certain lifethreatening scenarios, from the emergency room to the community guidance center on Rodeo Park West. The team has also started reaching out directly to patients’ families through the National Alliance on Mental Illness, offering the crisis dispatch line as an alternative to 911. Presbyterian’s Santa Fe County crisis team is one of two in New Mexico. La Clinica de Familia runs the other one in Doña Ana County. In March, Presbyterian made a presentation to Bernalillo County officials, who are interested in setting up a crisis response team there. In 2014, the police shooting death of a schizophrenic homeless man in Albuquerque led to protests and scrutiny of the department’s approach to mental illness. Carraher started practicing psychotherapy almost three decades ago. Before Presbyterian, she worked at a maximum-security prison, a halfway house for women and her own private practice. She likes her new job because she doesn’t have to sit around in an office all day. It’s also exposed her to a side of therapy she hadn’t before encountered on a day-to-day basis. “When you meet people in crisis, they’re open, they’re raw, they’re ready for change in a way that doesn’t happen in other situations,” she says. “It’s important to for us to bear witness, to just listen, to help a person feel, to be seen or heard.” Reach the crisis response team at 820-6333

They relocated family members, including her sister’s infant and her wheelchair-bound grandmother, farther from the fire, but concern for neighbors compelled Pinto, her father and her sister to drive back within half a mile of it. In photographs and video she shot, massive black pillars of smoke spiral away from the flame-lit tanks. What they don’t show, she says, was just how big the fire became, how it roared and how smoke blocked the moon. A parade of fire trucks and oil trucks circled the flames that, ultimately, WPX decided were too hot and potentially hazardous to fight. More than 55 families would be instructed to leave their homes for the Nageezi Chapter House, though no one knew to expect them there, and the gates to the chapter house
stayed locked for hours while evacuees waited in their cars. “There’s no evacuation plan, and we talk about how the oil and gas industries out here don’t try to communicate with the chapter houses,” Pinto says. “The main thing is just chaos. There’s no plan out here for things like this.” Pinto grew up around oil and gas development but just a year ago the increasing presence of wells, drilling rigs and oil trucks led her to join WildEarth Guardians and their campaign to stop the extraction of fossil fuels. “I’m sure there was an ‘Aha!’ moment, but it’s just sort of wanting to save the land, wanting to be able to keep the landscape as it was. It’s changed so much within the past three years,” she says. “It’s crazy to think that none of that was there 10 years ago. We didn’t have to worry about safety or explosions. Now, after Monday, that’s all gone.” Sentiments in the community have split over development. Something that brings jobs and money can be tough to hate. After the July 11 fire, which was allowed to burn for days, Pinto says she thinks more people will at least want to talk about what’s happening, and maybe more people elsewhere will pay attention. “We’re such a small, isolated community that no one really hears our voice,” Pinto says. “So I’m glad that people are noticing, because this is a big issue for our community.” There’s a “Can you hear me now?” core to the latest objections to ongoing fossil fuel extraction and burning. Even as they call for more transparency, more communication and better planning, environmentalists often feel stonewalled by a federal government that sometimes doesn’t seem to account for their protests to ongoing leases and doesn’t seem to want to make space for them to watch that process through to its conclusion. Longtime participants in the government’s mapped-out program, which calls for written protests, have jumped those tracks and started showing up at one of the few occasions where the action moves from on-paper to in person: oil and gas lease auctions. The federal government has responded to increasing interest in this typically players-only event by limiting access and making plans to put the whole process online. Interested parties are welcome to monitor proceedings as updates are posted on the US Bureau of Land Management’s website. Never mind that many of them live in rural communities without high-speed internet access. BIDDING BATTLES Each quarter, as required by Congress, the BLM holds mineral lease auctions. Parcels of land are nominated, often by energy companies interested in the mineral resources they sit atop, and companies bid for rights to explore them. Oil and gas leases start at $2 per acre, but prices can go much higher. An October 2015 lease sale saw a parcel in New Mexico go for $14,200 per acre. In April, roughly 200 protesters arrived to watch an auction at the Courtyard Marriott on Cerrillos Road. They were invited to view the proceedings via live stream from an adjacent conference room, and only registered bidders were permitted to enter the auction room. Of 14 bidders, the BLM reported,

ward climate disaster.” To comply with the law, they established Tempest Exploration Co., LLC, and plan to pay the annual rent for the 10-year lease. The energy they hope the land produces is that of support for the call to keep fossil fuels in the ground. The invitation to watch the April auction in Santa Fe from a separate room was couched by activists as an attempt to stifle the public’s voice, and fewer than a dozen visited the viewing room. When this quarter’s auction rolled around, scheduled for July 20 at the same Santa Fe hotel, some protesters were prepared to register as bidders so they could watch the auction in person. “We’re not trying to get ourselves arrested, but we have supporters who just want to do something,” says Eleanor Bravo, with Food and Water Watch. Then the BLM made a late-inthe-game choice to move the July 20 auction for nearly 14,000 acres in the Carlsbad area from Santa Fe to Roswell, closer to the parcels for sale. Bravo labels the move a “dirty trick,” arguing that it violated the agency’s 45-day rule for posting information on auctions. She says when she called them to say as much, the agency told her it’s only the parcels that require 45-day notice; the venue is exempt. “It’s a thinly veiled attempt to keep the public out,” she tells SFR. Environmental groups responded
with a plan to station protesters at both the Roswell auction and the BLM office in Santa Fe. “We will not be deterred,” Bravo says. “We’re not going away.” A day after that conversation, she got in touch again with news. The BLM had phoned to say they decided to postpone the auction until Sept. 1, still in Roswell. Bravo called it a victory. “We now can have some effect on what they’re doing,” she says. “Formerly, they wouldn’t listen at all. Now they are beginning to bow to public opinion. … We want the public to have a say over what happens to public lands, so we feel like this is a big step in the right direction.” By WildEarth Guardians’ count, the change marks the sixth time an auction has been canceled or postponed since the “Keep it in the Ground” campaign spurred protesters to increase their attendance and continue their objections to this practice. The broader stroke sees the Obama administration moving these auctions further from public view. Activists characterize this as rightful embarrassment over an ongoing leasing program that flies in the face of a stated policy to address climate change; the two cannot coexist when one cancels out any progress made through the other. The House Committee on Natural Resources passed a bill earlier this month that would require all offshore lease sales to be held online, and BLM’s

Eastern States office has already issued notice that their September auction will be held online and open solely to registered bidders. That registration requires confirming that bids “represent a good-faith intention to acquire an oil and gas lease” and a legally binding commitment to pay money for it, the BLM’s notice reads. Knowingly and willfully misrepresenting your qualifications or intentions can result in a fine or imprisonment for up to five years—or both. “Moving fossil fuel auctions online still doesn’t hide the dangerous disconnect between the administration’s climate rhetoric and its fossil fuel leasing,” Taylor McKinnon, with the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a press release about the proposal. “The clock is ticking on the climate crisis, and each new lease makes a bad problem worse. It’s time for the president to shut the federal carbon pollution spigot for good.” COMING CLOSER Living in today’s world and objecting to oil and gas development necessitates becoming people of paradox, says William Clark, president of Rio Arriba Concerned Citizens. We all use oil and gas, he says; even his earthship, which harvests rainwater and runs on solar power, was built using money he made trucking crude oil. When 16 parcels near his Cebolla home went up for auction, he decided to embrace that paradox. “It got me active, to have that right in my backyard, because some of the parcels were within half a mile of our
house,” he says. “And it’s been good action, because they’re not drilling in Cebolla.” He has fought the eastward expansion of oil and gas leases that pushed into the Santa Fe National Forest, closer to wilderness areas around the Rio Chama gorge and to Santa Fe. Given his experience working in the industry—days that ended more than 30 years ago after a spill led to one of his co-workers receiving third degree burns over 80 percent of his body— Clark believed that to live near that kind of development was to consent to a slow poisoning. They would become, as he calls it, collateral mortalities. “I’d just been around too many spills and too much contamination to think that wasn’t going to happen,” he says. The spills wouldn’t be a problem for Cebolla alone, where the BLM’s geological study reported a low potential to produce oil and a high chance for leaks. The Rio Chama Watershed is a main tributary for the Rio Grande, with 90 percent of the watershed adjudicated to the City of Albuquerque, several Pueblos and the acequia system. “We’re in a very remote, rural, wild area; it’s some of the wildest country really left in the south San Juans. … [and] the area that we manage provides a third of New Mexico’s drinking water. All the reservoirs down in New Mexico are getting fed from our landowners,” says Monique DiGiorgio, executive director of the Chama Peak Land Alliance, which represents the interests of landowners in the Chama

River Basin. Of oil and gas, DiGiorgio says, “Not here. This is not an appropriate place. It’s too risky.” Calls for the BLM to administratively withdraw leases in Rio Arriba County have been met with the response that the agency isn’t ready to make a permanent decision on those parcels, but they have been indefinitely deferred. Rio Arriba’s residents have slowed oil and gas development—past the 11,600 wells clustered on the western side—by arguing the science, Clark says. The geology is on their side, and a local ordinance also helps. Like Santa Fe County, Rio Arriba County benefits from a firm oil and gas development ordinance. Rio Arriba’s halves the county, so that on the west, oil and gas can develop, and on the east, a “frontier” designation strives to preserve a wilder character. That would change, however, if the state legislature were to pass a bill like one proposed last year to give state law pre-emption on all matters related to oil and gas. The bill was proposed by Rep. Nate Gentry (RAlbuquerque), whose top five campaign contributors in both 2012 and 2014 include oil and gas companies.

A NATION LEFT OPEN The vast majority of public lands, including areas like eastern Rio Arriba County that have a relatively low potential for profitably producing mineral reserves, are left open to leasing for oil and gas development, according to a report from The Wilderness Society. “A lot of problems flow from that because if you’re leaving 90 percent of minerals that you manage open to lease, it’s difficult to say we’re going to protect the surface for wildlife or recreation,” says Nada Culver, senior counsel and director of the BLM Action Center for The Wilderness Society and author of that report.

And though Benson says his future dream is to arrange Smiths songs in a Johnny Cash style—which we’re pretty sure Johnny would be cool with, given his many excellent covers like “Hurt”—he’s focused on touring and keeping it as real as possible. “One thing that I love about music is that it’s easy enough for a slouch like me to do it,” Benson says, “but it’s also endless.” Well said, sir.

Why go to a poetry reading? Dana Levin tells SFR that poetry is “one of the few artforms left that is not beholden or shaped by market forces … which means people are really speaking their truth.” Levin’s new book, Banana Palace, due out Oct. 11, explores technology, hunger and the end of the world. From the dream-inspired musings of “Morning News,” in which a woman grows food from her skin, to the Facebook-obsessed culture of the collection’s title poem, humor grounds dystopian visions of the future.

MUSIC MUSICAL SUNSHINE You know when you’re driving on a sunny day with your arm out of the window, basking? Chicago’s Whitney (who recently ranked fourth on NPR’s list of the top 10 new bands) is the acoustic equivalent of that moment. “It has to do with not using effects,” Julien Ehrlich, lead singer and drummer, tells SFR. “We detuned a lot of stuff to make it sound rounded and warmer.” The rock group plays at Meow Wolf on Tuesday, hot off their debut at the Pitchfork Festival in their hometown. The smaller, artsy venue should be a surprise, since Ehrlich says, “Someone just told me about it, but what is it?” We told him, and he was stoked. (Maria Egolf-Romero)

Santa Fe is no stranger to the cover or tribute band. Hell, it’s one of our favorite things. But that doesn’t mean we’ve grown tired of musicians who devote their lives to the songs of others, and if anything, our local music fans have doubled-down on the prospect of covers by ravenously supporting the likes of Chango, Moby Dick and so forth. Enter San Diego, California’s Cash’d Out, one of the most noteworthy and professionally executed tribute bands on earth; these dudes love the Man in Black like woah, and it shows in everything they do—this is as close to the real deal as you can get without someone dabbling in some serious Frankenstein shit. “Johnny is just the best ever,” singer/guitarist Doug Benson exclaims with the tone of a true super-fan. “I just think he was such an amazing man, and he and Luther Perkins came up with that rockabilly sound, I think, without even really thinking about it or really realizing it. … It can be very hard to get all your feelings across in a song

style, man—an effortless musicianship matched only by how completely she throws herself into her jams. Like, seriously, if you’ve ever seen any of the aforementioned bands, you know what I’m talkin’ about, and if you haven’t, you damn well should as soon as possible. Don’t worry, though … we’ve got you covered with info on her newest project, Cardigan Buttons, a three-song EP recorded in Denver by former Santa Fean Ben Clary and mastered by local audio wizard Will Dyar (who has also worked with other locals like Woven Talon and Greg Butera). Listen to it at joieflare.bandcamp.com immediately. It’s a bizarre combo of solo bass and vocal work with little surprises like organ thrown in. Two-thirds of Buttons is allllllmost Pinback-adjacent and even recalls ’90s-esque Presidents of the United States
Joie Flare strikes out on her own to seriously excellent results BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

wanna talk about Joie Flare. For a lot of reasons, really, not least of which is how she kind of sneakily became this positive force within the local music scene in some pretty interesting ways. To wit, as bassist for funk act The Sticky, as sometimes-vocalist for Westin McDowell’s Shiner’s Club Jazz Band, as bassist for the tragically onhiatus rock band The Velvet O and in innumerable other little ways here and there. I say “sneakily” because it seems like one day Joie (a stage name; you’ve gotta make friends if you want to know the real info) was just around, and that isn’t always easy in an insular scene like ours. But a lifelong funk and jazz fan (her dad played sax and loved Coltrane) who also, by the way, loved emo and screamo for a time as a teenager, is—or should be—a pretty hot commoddity, and plenty of us are glad she’s here. “I moved here from New York, but I was an army brat, so I’m a bit of a nomad,” Joie says. “This is the longest I’ve ever lived anywhere.” It’s really only a scant six years, but important ones as, in that time, she went to Santa Fe University of Art & Design, became a protégé of sorts to multi-instrumentalist/SFUAD teacher, Peter Williams (of Love Gun and The Sticky and who, Joie recalls, provided her one of the most meaningful aspects It’s pronounced like “Joey” and comes with infinitely more pizazz. of her music education) and won the hearts and minds of many. It’s in the
of America’s stripped-down alterna-rock style, yet Joie sings about a bazillion times better than anyone from either act, taps into a deeper emotion and avoids sounding derivative. On the opener, “Rabbit Hole,” however, she takes a stab at what she calls “radio pop,” though that kind of diminishes the quality of the songwriting. No, you won’t hear this on the radio—it’s too damn good; there is actual musicianship, there are actual bass chords, and there isn’t anything more than that which it needs to sound perfect. Yes, perfect. Those’re fightin’ words, I know, and if there were a complaint to make about the EP, it’s in how short it is. How’s she do that? “I’m not really going for anything other than what I do, and while I’m excited for this to be coming out, I’m really more excited to make a full-on record with a band that way I hear it in my head,” Joie says. “This is more like an intro.” The last time we had something like this going on in Santa Fe, Luke Carr released Pigrow, blew our minds and then came out with Storming the Beaches with Logos in Hand and really mindfucked us. Not that Joie sounds like Carr, and she might be known more as backup for a slew of bands at the moment. But, if Cardigan Buttons is just an intro to what she can do, there is no doubt that she’ll stand head and shoulders with the best of ’em around town. Hell, she can probably do better. Trust us and head down to Ghost on Sunday for the release party. “I think the Santa Fe scene is really opening up right now,” she says. “There are new bands and more youthful bands, and it’s starting to seem like there’s more to do for not just older people.” We believe that more than ever, with Joie Flare leading the charge … it’ll just be hard as hell to wait for her full album.

o begin with, make the vital distinction between great operas and grand opéra. The former? A critical judgment. The latter? A stylistic definition. Gounod’s 1867 Roméo et Juliette, now on view at the Santa Fe Opera, may not rank among the greats despite its enormous appeal, but as an example of that particular 19th-century French operatic style defined as grand, it’s a ringer. For the French, style has always focused on la gloire. Still, la grandeur plays a leading role as well, witness Versailles, De Gaulle and la bouillabaisse.

THE CALENDAR
I’m sorry if my English is wrong. I’m writing from Germany, where I am being heartbroken and not knowing how to go on. I’ve been seeing a guy for a couple of months and slowly falling in love with him. “Peter” has always been very open to me about himself, his failed relationships, and his commitment issues. He talks frequently about his ex-boyfriend from five years ago and how being left created a deep fear of being left once again. He also had a relationship that ended a year ago. Yesterday he told me he’s still in love with the guy from one year ago but that his love is unrequited. He also told me that he values what we have but he can’t stop loving this other guy. And he can’t promise me that this will change. I am in love and heartbroken at the same time, hopeful and fearful, and unable to get up for the last couple of days. Deep down, I fear I will get hurt. I already am hurt. I’m falling for someone who’s not able to love me back, who’s stuck in the past, but who wishes to change that in order to let me into his life. Should I stay and wait for Peter to get better even if it hurts to know he’s in love with someone other than me? Or should I leave him as so many others have and hurt him? -Healing Erotic Love Problem Means Everything Peter could be lying to you. That’s probably not what you wanted or expected to hear, HELPME, and you’ll find some more hopeful/less cynical advice further down, I promise. But when a guy with “commitment issues” tells you he’s struggling with the emotional fallout of a relationship that ended five years ago and still hopelessly in love with someone he hasn’t seen for a year… you have to entertain the possibility that he could be lying to you. You always have to entertain that possibility—with new loves, old loves, blue loves. When someone tells us they have “commitment issues,” we’re primed to hear this: “This boy is incapable of committing until healed (by a therapist, by a new love, by the passage of time).” But sometimes what they mean is this: “I have no interest in committing—not to you, not to anyone, not now, not ever.” But instead of owning up to that (because people who want to remain single are viewed as damaged?) or telling you he’s not seeking anything serious (because you might leave him, and he’s not done with your ass?), Peter invents/ inflates a pair of past loves that render him incapable of loving you the way you deserve to be loved and blah blah blah and off the hook. Not a child-man who won’t commit, but a victim who would commit if he could commit but—sob!—he can’t commit. But, hey, maybe he’s telling you the truth. Maybe he’s in love with Mr. One Year Ago. So tell him he can love you and love the other guy at the same time. Established gay throuples, stable straight poly quads, bi men with GFs and BFs, married lesbians who U-Hauled an adorable baby dyke—there are examples everywhere you look these days of people in love with more than one romantic partner. I don’t see why a person can’t be in love with someone and still in love with an ex—think of it as a sort of semi-posthumous/semi-poly relationship. You’ll be pioneers. Give Peter permission to love his ex (pathetically and abstractly) while loving you too (intimately and tactilely), HELPME, and you might be able to love a commitment out of him. I’m a gay male in my late 20s. My little sister’s husband, “Peter,” is my age and

bisexual. I’m not one of those gay men who think bi guys don’t exist. And I know bi guys are just as capable of being monogamous as other guys—which isn’t that comforting when you think about it—and I don’t have a problem with my bi brother-in-law being bi. More importantly, my sister doesn’t have a problem with it. But whenever I’m alone with Peter, however briefly, he starts telling me how much he misses dick. He wants to hear about the last “really great dick” I sucked and tells me he misses sucking dick. I smile and say dick is great for sure and make a halfhearted attempt to change the subject. The last time it happened was after my grandfather’s funeral. I’m pretty sure Peter wants to suck my dick, and I’m tempted to let him. I know it’s a bad idea, but Peter is hot. This is torture. What should I do? -Boy Is Lost Stop smiling, work harder to change the subject, avoid being alone in a room with Peter, and repeat after me: “My sister might be able to forgive her husband for sucking a dick, but she’ll never forgive him—or me—if that dick is mine.” I’m a gay guy in an open relationship and I’m on Recon, a gay hookup/dating site for guys into leather/fetish/BDSM. My partner, who isn’t kinky, knows I have a profile there and it’s not a problem. Today I got a message from a new guy, and when we exchanged face pics, I saw that he looks exactly like “Peter,” my boyfriend’s best friend’s fiancé! I asked him if that was him, and he stopped responding. What should I do? My BF doesn’t want to know much about my extracurricular activities, but this could make our next double date extremely awkward. We see this other couple a fair amount, and even though I think this guy is good-looking, I would never sleep with him because of the social situation. On the other hand, if I’m wrong and they’re not the same person, bringing it up with them could make things awkward, especially since I’m pretty secretive about my kinks and have zero desire to discuss them with my BF’s friends. -Requires Educated Consultation On Next Step P.S. Additional information that might be relevant: Our engaged friends aren’t having sex, we’ve been told, and they’re making no moves toward actually planning a wedding. Going silent after you asked, “Is that you, Peter?!?” is a pretty good indication that it was indeed Peter you were talking to. But while you know Peter was on Recon, RECONS, you don’t know exactly what he was doing there. Maybe he goes online to fantasize, swap pics, and jack off. Maybe Peter is on Recon with his fiancé’s blessing, just as you’re on Recon with your partner’s blessing (but, like you, he’s not comfortable discussing his kinks with friends). Maybe their relationship/engagement is on the verge of collapse and your partner’s best friend’s fiancé is trying to line up a new relationship before pulling the plug on the one he’s in now. Since you don’t know what’s going on in their relationship, RECONS, keep your mouth shut and refrain from making assumptions or judgments. And the next time you have to interact with Peter and his fiancé socially, slap a smile on your face and talk about the weather, the election, the estrogen-enhanced, better-than-the-original Ghostbusters reboot, the new season of Difficult People, Zika, the Olympics—basically anything other than Recon, kinks, and wedding plans.

34 th ANNUAL JULY 19-AUGUST 14, 2016
After almost 13 years of her daily Radio Café program, iconic local DJ Mary-Charlotte Domandi has hung up her headphones to pursue other projects. It truly is the end of an era, but it’s hardly the last we’ll hear from Domandi. We caught up with her to see how she’s faring after the end of her show and find out what’s next for the stalwart Santa Fe celeb. (Alex De Vore) What was behind your decision to call it quits? First of all, when we talk about sustainability, it became kind of unsustainable for me. It was more work than one person can do. Thirteen years is a long run, and I felt like I had given a lot to the station and I was happy about that. How are you feeling now that it’s all over? Well, it’s not over. I am already moving on with other projects. I’m working on a sustainable agriculture project which will probably be a 10 or so part series that looks like it will be broadcast on KUNM (author’s note: that’s 89.9 on your radio dial). I’ve actually been working on that for some time. I’m going to be broadcasting the Radio Café about once a month on KUNM. The first one will be Friday, July 22 at 8 am. I’d like to take some time off, and I’m going to Ojo Caliente. Do you think radio still has a future? Yes. I don’t know whether broadcast radio will cease to exist. As long as there are people driving cars to work, there will be radio in one form or another. Like, Netflix does House of Cards; it’s never been broadcast television, but it’s television. I don’t have a date yet, but I’m planning on having a big party to invite the community to celebrate all those years of radio. I just want to celebrate anyone who’s ever been on the show. When you do radio, you get to know your audience up to a point, but you’re just sitting there with one other person and a lot more people are listening. It’s important, sometimes, to have a big public event.

The Bitter Truth
ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN
DRINK
Campari and its bitter relatives are grown-up fun BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
C
ampari is like cilantro: If you’ve tried it, you either loved it or you hated it. But let me make a case for this bright red booze with the bracing bitter taste: Bitter things are for adults. Children don’t like bitter things because natural selection has taught us that bitter things are often toxic. But we are adults, and we’ve come to appreciate the complexity that a little bitterness brings to things like dark chocolate and arugula. Plus, there’s something exceptionally refreshing about a drink that balances bitter and sweet—and can be served up or over plenty of ice. The Negroni is a classic cocktail that’s related to the Manhattan (whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters) and the Americano (Campari, sweet vermouth and club soda). Feel free to experiment with the proportions of all these recipes. A small dose of Campari can be a gateway drug to full-blown Campari love. And have some fun playing around with Campari’s relatives: the mellower, orange Aperol; the sweet, herbal Averna; and Cynar (say: CHEE-nar), which is made with artichoke leaves. QUINN’S ESSENTIAL NEGRONI Mixologist Quinn Stephenson, who designs drinks for Coyote Café (132 W Water St., 983-1615), Geronimo (724 Canyon Road, 982-1500), The High Note (132 W Water St., 231-9918) and Radish & Rye (548 Agua Fría St., 930-5325), is a fan of the Negroni, and he loves to riff on it. The classic recipe calls for equal parts gin, sweet vermouth and Campari, but Stephenson prefers to increase the gin and vermouth, while de-emphasizing the intensity of the Campari. He likes a 3:2:1 ratio. Stephenson is adamant that the quality of the vermouth will make or break this drink. He uses Carpano Antica, an Italian sweet vermouth. And he always garnishes a Negroni with fresh orange. This recipe allows you to make a perfect pitcher of Negronis. Just keep it chilled. ·· 3 parts gin
·· 2 parts high-quality sweet vermouth ·· 1 part Campari ·· orange peel
Mix the three ingredients together and pour them over ice. Garnish with orange. COYOTE CAFÉ BLOOD ORANGE NEGRONI WITH CAMPARI DUST A dusting of dehydrated Campari on the rim of the glass makes a stunning presentation for this Coyote Café special. To make the Campari dust, simply pour Campari on a sheet tray and let it dry out. Once
Low ’n’ Slow Lowrider Bar’s Negroni Rubia is really pretty. Go to it. Profess your love.
it’s dehydrated, break up the pieces and use a spice grinder to grind them into a fine powder. ·· 1½ ounces gin
Greene says you can ask for it anytime. His version uses Averna in place of Campari and local Santa Fe Spirits’ smoked gin liqueur.
·· 1 ounce high-quality sweet vermouth
·· 1 part Santa Fe Spirits Slow Burn Gin
·· ½ ounce blood orange juice
·· 1 part Dolin Rouge vermouth
·· ½ ounce Campari ·· Campari dust ·· orange peel
Mix the three ingredients together and pour them over ice. Rub the rim of a glass with an orange wedge, dip it in Campari dust and garnish with orange. RADISH & RYE BOULEVARDIER The Boulevardier is a cousin to the Negroni, made with whiskey, preferably bourbon. Although it’s been around since the 1920s, the Boulevardier has recently become fashionable again. ·· 1½ ounce bourbon
·· 1 ounce Carpano Antica (or other high-quality vermouth) ·· ½ ounce Campari ·· orange peel
Enjoy over ice or pour into a cold martini glass. Garnish with orange. ELOISA’S BLACK NEGRONI This cocktail isn’t on the regular menu at Eloisa (228 Palace Ave., 982-0883), but it is occasionally a weekend special, and beverage director Winston
·· 1 part Averna
Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass and stir with ice, then strain into a glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with sage or a lemon wheel. LOW ’N’ SLOW NEGRONI RUBIA This is a “sexier blonde cousin” of the Negroni, according to Carla Gilfillan, the bar manager at Hotel Chimayó’s Low ’n’ Slow Lowrider Bar (125 Washington Ave., 988-4900). Here, all of the classic ingredients are given a creative upgrade. Damrak Gin is a citrus-forward formula, which Gilfillan prefers for Negronis. Instead of Campari, she uses a combination of Cocchi Americano, a relatively new aperitif wine that falls somewhere between Lillet and Dubonnet, and the Colorado-made Breckenridge Bitter. ·· 1 ounce Damrak gin
·· 1 ounce Dolin Blanc vermouth ·· ½ ounce Cocchi Americano
·· ½ ounce Breckenridge Bitter ·· orange peel
Stir all of the ingredients together and pour them into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with orange. SFREPORTER.COM

Ghostbusters Review: Who You Gonna Call? by alex de vore alex@sfreporter.com
That somehow massive contingent of unfortunately vocal assholes who have spent the last year or so trashing the new Ghostbusters movie online (before it had even come out, we might add) because it dared to (gasp!) feature four female leads may as well shut up now— it’s one of the best movies this year! The reboot from Paul Feig (Freaks and Geeks, Bridesmaids) and Parks and Recreation writer Kate Dippold is
actually everything you want and more, so, like good scientists, let’s examine the facts here. We’ll admit that we were, shall we say, apprehensive about Feig’s new foray into the universe. In our defense, that first trailer was horrible, and we were actually pretty much prepared to write the whole thing off. Crisis averted. The new cast is completely stellar, with enjoyable and hysterical performances from everyone. Kristen Wiig (Brides maids) shines as pensive physicist Erin Gilbert who, earlier in life,

in her objectification of Hemsworth is a rich area for laughs. McCarthy turns in an excellent performance as well, which is particularly notable in that she generally winds up saying something awkward and then falling down in most of her films. Jones brings the flavor of the everywoman and sheds her usual angry persona for disarmingly sweet yet tough-as-nails. McKinnon, however, is everything as the fearless Holtzmann, a scientist/ engineer whose professional curiosity overcomes her fight-or-flight response at every turn (and she provides one of the most badass fight sequences we’ve seen in ages). Pepper in shriek-worthy cameos from almost all of the original cast and supporting roles from fairly prominent actors and comedians like Michael K Williams, Matt Walsh, Zach Woods, Cecily Strong and many more, and we’ve got one of those fun summer blockbusters like they used to make. Oh sure, there’s a whole mess of CGI and a small number of missteps to nitpick, but as an overall product, Ghostbusters completely nails it. You ain’t afraid of that, are you?

wrote of the metaphysical with brash fellow scientist, Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy). Through a spooky series of events spurred by a mysteriously sinister hotel bellman, the pair, along with sassy subway worker Patty Tolan (SNL’s Leslie Jones) and ultra-weird/ ultra-genius Jillian Holtzmann (a scene-stealing Kate McKinnon, also of SNL) get down to the business of bustin’ ghosts in the funniest of ways. Soon the fearsome foursome opens a lab/business of sorts, and along with their boneheaded receptionist, played brilliantly stupid by Thor’s Chris Hemsworth, they tackle horrors from the afterlife. Those who may look back to the original films with rose-colored glasses will find plenty to love here, so long as they haven’t completely made up their minds before they enter theaters (or they aren’t like those ridiculous jerks who would hate a film just for having a female cast). An update hasn’t hurt the franchise whatsoever, and we’re a little confused by the ire since a vast number of films these days are either remakes, reboots or sourced from other material. This Ghostbusters strikes the perfect balance between new/funny enough and throwback/fan service-y enough to click our nostalgia into high gear. The lead actors each bring something different to the film, and the chemistry between them all is palpable. Wiig’s Gilbert is vulnerable yet capable, and her inability to rein

SWISS ARMY MAN
“Almost painfully self-aware”
THE INFILTRATOR In the 1980s, cocaine was king, and South American drug lords were making just crazy bonkers money by exporting their product into America through various port cities like Miami. They had plenty of help from banks, too, and before anyone really realized it, the drug trade became a full-blown epidemic. And that’s the setting for the new Bryan Cranston-led film, The Infiltrator. Based on a book by former undercover customs agent Robert Mazur, the story follows one of the largest drug busts in American history through the eyes of the agent himself (who became a fake money launderer) and looks into the brutal tactics employed by Pablo Escobar and his Medellín cartel. At first, it’s riveting to see the emotional and psychological toll it takes on the cops as they embed themselves into the drug trade through any means necessary, but there are ultimately too many tired devices utilized, and the film ends up lagging. It’s almost as if they had most of a great movie and then realized there wasn’t a strong ending, so they wrapped it up as quickly as possible. Cranston provides a perfectly fine performance as the embattled agent who repeatedly puts work ahead of family (though it seems to have no lasting effect one way or another on his marriage and home life, at least so far as we’re shown),
and his fellow agents, played by John Leguizamo and Diane Kruger, provide little more than reactionary lines to his risky moves like, “Yeah, I’ve got your back!” Benjamin Bratt brings a certain oomph to his role as one of the bad guy higher-ups in the cartel, and his charming performance shows that sometimes undercover work is totally super-hard when you start to like your targets! Everyone else just kind of exists in a vacuum, and they wait for Cranston to be onscreen so they can do crazy-terrifying things to let us know just how much is on the line. For the most part, this works, but they never quite make us care enough about Cranston or Leguizamo (or anyone, for that matter). The Infiltrator is certainly not boring, but if you’re looking for anything more than a paint-by-numbers thriller, based on a true story or not, this is not your film. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 127 min.
TICKLED
For a football star with a family finance problem, the decision to follow through with the absurd proposition of “Competitive Endurance Tickling” and an effort to later strike it from the merciless records of YouTube led to retaliation from organizers. What first seemed a quirky TV story for New Zealand pop culture journalist David Farrier quickly took a turn into the control
fetish of a well-heeled (and perhaps even dangerous) recluse. Combining forces with hacker companion Dylan Reeve, Farrier barrels ahead with an investigation in the face of threatened litigation, personal attacks and other hurdles. Who they allege the mastermind of the global tickling phenomenon is turns out to be worth the wait. And kudos to the duo for digging in despite a barrage of threats that apparently continue to this day. The documentary reveals a degree of stomach-churning misrepresentation and what appears to be abuse of young men as well as a healthy dose of failing by the justice system over a yearslong period. Though the filmmakers are not due to appear at the Santa Fe screening, their targets showed up for an ugly public confrontation at a Los Angeles premiere last month. One official with the company that runs the “competition” has called the film “a pack of lies” and produced a number of videos and blog posts attempting to refute it, as well as threatening lawsuits again. Los Angeles Times reports that two lawsuits were filed after the film began screening, but both were “voluntarily dismissed.” Tickled is no feat of filmmaking elegance. It’s a fairly straightforward approach to a riveting thesis, including some great airport ambush footage, secretly recorded audio CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

tracks, a stakeout and even one scene shot from inside a coffee cup. But the unfolding story has built-in plot twists that make you not want to step away to refill your drink. Building on the work of other journalists and connecting the dots in a new way, the pair also delivers an eyepopping look into the little-known kink of tickling on camera in what at least some of the fans claim is a totally nonsexual thing. True to that point, the clips feature nothing that’s outright pornography. Even though there’s no epic finish or overt genital contact and no sound except for giggles and gasps for breath, the scenes are still squirmy. Turns out, it’s madly liberating to watch a hairy chest wriggle under one finger in the armpit, feet in stocks and wrists bound over his head. At least one entrepreneur has made a great living at the tickle video trade. His “talent” seems perfectly happy. Not like the football guys who tangled with the wrong tickler. That dude, devious and manipulative as he is, has like $5 million in the bank and is probably right this moment arranging for a Minnesota track star to have an awkward day and a life of regret. Don’t fall for it, fellas. (Julie Ann Grimm) CCA, R, 92 min.
THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS One begins to wonder how many “this is what the toys/pets/cars/planes/appliances do when you aren’t watching” films we’re expected to suffer through at this point, and The Secret Life of Pets isn’t helping. One of those odd-couple stories, Pets follows Max, a stereotypically dog-ish dog voiced by Louis CK—who we think probably just took the role because he has young daughters. Max totally loves his owner, Katie (a flat Ellie Kemper from Kimmy Schmidt), but when she brings home a dog named Duke (Modern Family’s Eric Stonestreet), he has a hell of a time adjusting. Sure, they work it out after a series of zany adventures, but once the initial sickeningly cute factor has finished its fullfrontal assault, Pets cracks under the pressure of how many times we’ve already seen this movie. There’s an impressive cast featuring usually very funny actors and comedians like Albert Brooks, Jenny Slate, Steve Coogan and Dana Carvey, but not even they can save this movie from itself, and the formulaic drag of learning to love others for who they are remains tired. Most performances are fine, just fine, but Kevin Hart as an insane bunny (are we supposed to find it hilarious that a bunny probably wouldn’t talk or act like that?) is, at the risk of putting too fine a point on it, the absolute worst. Illumination Entertainment can be commended
for their gorgeous and detailed New York City and for trying to throw in some weird stuff (like a psychedelic dreamland of living sausages singing from Grease), but even children will probably feel insulted by how utterly unfunny the final product winds up being. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, DeVargas, PG, 87 min.
YARN
Watching Icelandic yarn graffiti artist and sheep rancher Tinna Pórudóttir Porvaldsdóttir release her vibrant knitted objects into the world is so calming and profound that I found myself getting a little misty-eyed. Was I really feeling this way in the middle of a documentary about yarn? The simple answer is yes. The short-running Yarn follows four takes on the topic, and each is surprising and delightfully outside-the-box. Porvaldsdóttir’s sharing happens, too, as she delicately decorates glass buoys and sends them afloat into the ocean. She strolls the streets of Barcelona and Havana, sometimes withdrawing a small hammer from her roomy purse and using her lips to hold extra nails while she works. Polish artist Olek crochets full body suits and then follows four models around the city (and in lava flows and forests) to photograph their interactions with people and the environment—the faceless, skinless beings embodied in a thicker, softer skin of repeating loops and clashing shades of orange and yellow and blue. Before that, she covers four railroad cars completely in crochet work and then helps make a mermaid swim with marine animals in Hawaii. When the camera cuts to her hands, they’re literally moving fast enough to blur. The observation and reverence for the rhythmic nature of these artforms from new director Una Lorenzen serves to naturally knot together the work. And even though that sentence was contrived, the arc of story in the film does not feel that way. Lorenzen seems to capture the essence of how her subjects connect to their art and how they see it as that and not simply craft, clothing or kitsch. Children who climb and bounce on a swaying knitted play structure make fiber sculptor Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam contagiously happy as she explains how she transitioned from art that hung untouched to art meant to serve a deep human need. The inclusion of a profile of the co-ed Cirkus Cirkör’s show with yarn as a theme adds enough masculine energy to the storylines to keep the balance. And balance they do, on tiny tightropes, all the while relating that the meaning of the act, the meaning of life, is in the striving, the changing. (JAG) Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 76 min.
MOVIES
yay! Tickled exposes the seedy underworld of competitive tickling, which is somehow a thing.
SWISS ARMY MAN Film newcomers Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert are collectively known as “Daniels” for some reason, and the pair has come out swingin’ with Swiss Army Man, an indie-ish film about what it is to be alive. It’s a lesson that Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine) learns, ironically, from a corpse played by Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter, duh) who, over the course of the film, becomes one of the strangest characters we’ve ever seen. Hank is stranded on the coast someplace, but when Manny washes up on the shore in all his decaying glory, Hank begins to use the body as a means to sort through all his selfperceived personal failings and mental issues. Manny starts to come to life (sort of) and simultaneously acts as water spigot, firearm, wood-chopper and, oddly, fart-propelled jetpack/jet ski. It is definitely fun to see his “powers” revealed over the course of the story, but ultimately, they are about the best thing one can say for this tale. Swiss Army Man isn’t like anything else you’ve ever seen, that’s for sure, but it lags throughout and is almost painfully self-aware. It becomes hard to differentiate between the kids-playing-in-the-yard aesthetic
and the seriously sad realization that Hank is probably just insane and hasn’t realized it. The premise itself is interesting enough, and Dano does find an oddly perfect balance between relatable neurotic and unhinged lunatic wherein we feel along with him despite ourselves and see our own shortcomings in his openness. But everything is just so preciously selfindulgent that by the time the credits roll and the “twist” ending begins to sink in, the whole journey just seems kind of silly. Or monumentally depressing—we can’t really decide. Radcliffe, however, is practically perfect, and his mostly motionless take on a 20-something dead guy who is also basically a newborn provides some brilliantly timed laughs. There’s a fine line between legitimate eccentricity and forced weirdness, and though it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where Swiss Army Man falls on that spectrum, it’ll probably only be enjoyed by a very specific kind of moviegoer. This isn’t to say it isn’t worth a watch, more like it’s really just only OK and pretty much everyone else can just wait for it to hit Netflix in the coming months. (ADV) Violet Crown, R, 97 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE/ MASSAGE Rob Brezsny
Week of July 20th
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You now have more luxuriant access to divine luck than you’ve had in a long time. For the foreseeable future, you could be able to induce semi-miraculous twists of fate that might normally be beyond your capacities. But here’s a caveat: The good fortune swirling in your vicinity may be odd or irregular or hard-to-understand. To harvest it, you will have to expand your ideas about what constitutes good fortune. It may bestow powers you didn’t even realize it was possible to have. For example, what if you temporarily have an acute talent for gravitating toward situations where smart love is in full play?
Entomologists Raymond Bushland and Edward Knipling were this year’s winners. More than 60 years ago they started tinkering with the sex life of the screwworm fly in an effort to stop the pest from killing livestock and wildlife throughout the American South. At first their ideas were laughed at, even ridiculed. In time they were lauded for their pioneering breakthroughs. I suspect you’ll be blessed with a vindication of your own in the coming weeks, Libra. It may not be as monumental as Bushland’s and Knipling’s, but I bet it’ll be deeply meaningful for you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A directory published by the U.S. Department of Labor says that my gig as an astrologer shares a category with jugglers, rodeo clowns, acrobats, carnival barkers, and stuntpersons. Am I, therefore, just a charming buffoon? An amusing goofball who provides diversion from life’s serious matters? I’m fine with that. I may prefer to regard myself as a sly oracle inflamed with holy madness, but the service I provide is probably more effective if my ego doesn’t get the specific glory it yearns for. In this way, I have certain resemblances to the Taurus tribe during the next four weeks. Is it OK if you achieve success without receiving all of the credit you think you deserve? GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Over the course of a 57-year career, Japanese movie director Akira Kurosawa won 78 major awards for his work, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oscars. Among the filmmakers who’ve named him as an inspirational influence are heavyweights like Ingmar Bergman, Werner Herzog, Bernardo Bertolucci, Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese. But Kurosawa wasn’t too haughty to create lighter fare. At age 86, he departed from his epic dramas to create a 30-second commercial for a yogurt drink. Did that compromise his artistic integrity? I say no. Even a genius can’t be expected to create non-stop masterpieces. Be inspired by Kurosawa, Gemini. In the coming weeks, give your best to even the most modest projects.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) I hope it doesn’t sound too paradoxical when I urge you to intensify your commitment to relaxation. I will love it, and more importantly your guardian angel will love it, if you become a fierce devotee of slowing down and chilling out. Get looser and cozier and more spacious, damn it! Snuggle more. Cut back on overthinking and trying too hard. Vow to become a high master of the mystic art of I-don’t-give-a-f*ck. It’s your sacred duty to steal more slack from the soul-anesthetizing grind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) I regularly travel back through time from the year 2036 so as to be here with you. It’s tough to be away from the thrilling transformations that are underway there. But it’s in a good cause. The bedraggled era that you live in needs frequent doses of the vigorous optimism that’s so widespread in 2036, and I’m happy to disseminate it. Why am I confessing this? Because I suspect you now have an extra talent for gazing into the unknown and exploring undiscovered possibilities. You also have an unprecedented power to set definite intentions about the life you want to be living in the future. Who will you be five years from today? Ten years? Twenty years? Be brave. Be visionary. Be precise.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Here’s one strategy you could pursue, I guess: You could spank the Devil with a feather duster as you try to coax him to promise that he will never again trick you with a bogus temptation. But I don’t think that would work, frankly. It may have minor CANCER (June 21-July 22) Capricorns may be the hardshock value, in which case the Devil might leave you in est workers of the zodiac, and Tauruses the most peace for a short time. Here’s what I suggest instead: dogged. But in the coming weeks, I suspect you Work at raising your discernment so high that you can Cancerians will be the smartest workers. You will effiquickly identify, in the future, which temptations will ciently surmise the precise nature of the tasks at hand, and do what’s necessary to accomplish them. There’ll be deliver you unto evil confusion, and which will feed and hone your most noble desires. no false starts or reliance on iffy data or slapdash trialand-error experiments. You’ll have a light touch as you AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) After a cool, dry period, find innovative short cuts that produce better results you’ll soon be slipping into a hot, wet phase. The reathan would be possible via the grind-it-out approach. sonable explanations that generated so much apathy are LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) My friend’s 12-year-old daughter about to get turned inside-out. The seemingly good Brianna got a “B” on her summer school math test. She excuses that provided cover for your timidity will be might have earned an “A” if it weren’t for a problem her exposed as impractical lies. Are you ready for your passion to roar back into fashion? Will you know what to do teacher had with some of her work. “You got the right answer by making two mistakes that happened to cancel when suppressed yearnings erupt and the chemicals of each other out,” he wrote on her paper next to question love start rampaging through your soft, warm animal seven. I suspect you will soon have a similar experience. body? I hereby warn you about the oncoming surge of Leo. But the difference between you and Brianna is that weird delight—and sing “Hallelujah!” for the revelatory I’m giving you an “A.” All that matters in the end is that fun it will bring. you succeed. I don’t care if your strategy is a bit funky. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) I’m composing your horoVIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Have ever fantasized about being a different gender or race or astrological sign? Do you suspect it might be fun and liberating to completely change your wardrobe or your hairstyle or your body language? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to experiment with these variables, and with any others that would enable you to play with your identity and mutate your self-image. You have a cosmic exemption from imitating what you have done in the past. In this spirit, feel free to read all the other signs’ horoscopes, and act on the one you like best. Your word of power is “shapeshifter.”
scope on my iPhone after midnight on a crowded bus that’s crammed with sweaty revelers. We’re being transported back to civilization from a rural hideaway where we spent the last 12 hours at a raging party. I still feel ecstatic from the recent bacchanal, but the ride is uncomfortable. I’m pinned against a window by a sleepy, drunken dude who’s not in full control of his body. But do I allow my predicament to interfere with my holy meditation on your destiny? I do not—just as I trust you will keep stoking the fires of your own inspiration in the face of comparable irritations. You have been on a hot streak, my dear. Don’t let anything tamp it down!
