Lee has allowed a rising tide of sleaze to envelop the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office.
View from the middle
<;@KFIĂ&#x2039;J EFK<J By Marke B. marke@sf bg.com
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live in turbulent times,â&#x20AC;? my uncle observed last Saturday. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right: the world is roiling. This past week alone: 100,000 students marched in Santiago, Chile to protest education cuts. (The protest turned violent on Friday when police used excessive force and tear-gassed the crowd.) On Saturday, 300,000 people from across the political spectrum marched in Israel, mainly to protest rising housing costs. (A millionperson march is planned for next week.) Syria saw probably its bloodiest weekend of protests yet, as the government sent in more forces to crush anti-authoritarian uprisings. In Spain, a resurgent M-15 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the huge yet ambiguous protest organization that occupied Madridâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main square this summer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was blocked by anti-riot police from re-occupying Puerto del Sol. And, in Tottenham, London, a peaceful vigil for a man slain by police was stoked into a weekend of riots that is spreading throughout the city as of this writing. The swelling protests are all unique in their ways, but we certainly seem to be in the midst of a global â&#x20AC;&#x153;protest movement movement.â&#x20AC;? Many of the demonstrations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least the nonviolent ones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have been presented in the media as a continuation of the Arab Spring, due to the important role of online social media and the peaceful, game-changing aspirations of participants. And in most of the recent protests, there is evidence of a frightened and over-reactive government (the Chinese government, quaking over growing unrest due to its cover-up of a train crash last month, is flailing at online censorship) or a woefully unprepared police force (the Tottenham police were severely late in addressing public questions about the shooting, and failed to heed community
FG@E@FE Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: Between the well-funded, politically connected campaign pushing Ed Lee to run for mayor and the high-profile critics who say he should keep his word and step down, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to tell how the average city resident feels. So to reflect that perspective, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reprinting a letter that was sent to Lee on July 29.
We need a real question time, Mr. Mayor
'HDU 0D\RU /HH My name is Peter Nasatir; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a middle-aged, middle class San Franciscan who works in middle management. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not an activist and I have no political ax to grind. In fact, I rarely write letters like this, but felt compelled to do so because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been reading how you are considering a run for mayor this November. For your own integrity, and the good of the city, I urge you not to run. One of the reasons you have been able to achieve the successes youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed this year is because San Franciscans know your time is finite, thus giving you the ability to avoid the kind of hard slog other mayors have found themselves in. You have been able to stay above the fray and receive near-universal support precisely because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to do the amazing job youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing without having an eye on the upcoming election. If you run, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look like another cynical politician, who promises one thing and does another. Plus, with your experience, think how much political capital youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have when you return to your old position. And if you decide to run in 2015, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll already have onthe-job training no other candidate would have and have proven yourself to be a real leader for taking the high road.
<;@KFI@8C Mayor Ed Lee and his supporters owe San Franciscans some answers to troubling questions that the reporting of local journalists from at least four different media outlets has been raising this summer. That work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by the Guardian, Bay Citizen, San Francisco Chronicle, and San Francisco Examiner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has painted a picture of a corrupt political machine, built largely with public funds, that is acting in naked selfinterest to keep Lee in Room 200. In short, what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing is a return to the bad old days of the patronage politics that was the hallmark of former Mayor Willie Brown â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a key supporter of Lee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when downtown powerhouses from the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce to Pacific Gas & Electric called the shots in City Hall. Lee needs to be honest about why he decided to run for office,
something we saw no signs of during his Aug. 8 speech to journalists citing his supposed accomplishments as a reason for breaking his word. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been part of changing the way city government is run...Because of that change, I changed my mind,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. (For video of his remarks, see the SFBG.com Politics blog). While it is true that City Hall has been less acrimonious since the departure of former Mayor Gavin Newsom â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whose combative style and a solid progressive majority on the board led to some epic conflicts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like things have gotten any better for the average San Franciscan. Today, with the progressive movement weakened by a stubborn recession and political betrayals, big business sets the agenda at City Hall more than ever. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twitterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax break shakedown, Oracleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seizure of prime waterfront
real estate for the Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cup, Parkmercedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demolition of rentcontrolled apartments, CPMCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refusal to pay for its housing and hospital project impacts, or the relentless cutting of city services, corporations have been getting their way every single time. Yet this very track record is cited by Lee as the reason why he broke his word and stayed in office. Both the flip-flop and its rationale should be a key campaign issues this year. But in order to have an honest public discussion about how business in being done under the dome, Lee needs to come clean about the role heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been selected to play. Now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running for mayor, Lee must stop pretending that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not connected to the recruitment effort by his closest political allies. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal for him to be coordinating with the supposedly

leader warnings about potential violence). But all have to do with economic inequality, an overwhelming feeling of powerlessness in the face of ineffectual governance, and an onslaught of austerity cuts imposed from above. Last week’s odious debt ceiling charade by American “leaders” has just ensured massive national austerity cuts, and made the economy a lot more anxious (and unequal). Hands up if you feel powerless. I think of two recent large examples of Bay Area economic unrest: the 2009 student demonstrations against University of California tuition hikes and the reaction to the Mehserle verdict last year. Are we prepared to channel the coming frustration into an expansive, nonviolent popular movement that builds on positive momentum, includes everyone, and brings a whiff of the Arab Spring to our shores? 2

independent Progress for All group that has been waging the deceptive “Run, Ed, Run” campaign, and his blanket denials of knowing what was happening on his behalf just aren’t credible. He has allowed a rising tide of sleaze to envelop the Mayor’s Office. Progress for All was coordinated by the same people who orchestrated Lee’s ascension to Mayor’s Office in December: Brown, Chinatown power broker Rose Pak, political consultant David Ho, and various figures associated with Chinatown Community Development Center, including its director, Gordon Chin, the leader of Progress for All. These people are Lee’s political base, people that even he admits to being in regular communication with, people whose power derives from access to the mayor and whose organizations thrive on the millions of dollars in city contracts that Lee helps steer their way. In turn, they have been turning out droves of supporters (including many who rely on CCDC for housing and services) to help put him in office and keep him there. What we’re seeing appears to be straight-forward political corruption, of the same type and
involving many of the same players that we saw under Brown’s tenure as mayor, corruption that was aided and abetted at the time by Lee in his capacity as public works chief and later as city administrator. Board President David Chiu, the swing vote for putting Lee in the Mayor’s Office in December (based on Lee’s pledge to be a “caretaker mayor” who wouldn’t run for a full term) was also a prime enabler of this coup, so there is some poetic justice in the fact that it turned on him and sabotaged his chances of becoming mayor. It shows bad political judgment that Chiu and the other supervisors-turned-mayoral-candidates — Bevan Dufty and Michela Alioto-Pier — put Lee into office and naively ignored warnings from the Guardian, then-Sup. Chris Daly, and many others that the feel-good move was actually a corrupt power play. Politics can be a blood sport, and we’re under no illusions that politicians are noble creatures. But the simple fact is that Lee broke trust with San Francisco, gained a huge political advantage in doing so, and he now faces an uphill battle in restoring his credibility. Because the new politics he brought to City Hall look a whole lot like the old politics that the progressive movement spent the last decade trying to counter. 2

I know Willie Brown and Rose Pak, who are considered influential community leaders, have been at the forefront of your bid to run. However, they also carry a lot of damaging baggage. Just look at the front page of today’s (July 29th) Chronicle. With their names attached to your run for mayor, your image in the eyes of many San Francisco voters is already tainted before you even have a chance to file your papers. As much as I respect you and the incredible job you are doing, I can say without hesitation that if your name is on the ranked-choice ballot this November, I will not vote for you in any of the three positions. On behalf of many like-minded San Francisco voters, I urge you to do the right thing and not run for mayor this November. Thanks you for your consideration of this matter. Sincerely, Peter Nasatir 2

Shelter from the storm <JW /[JWLR\LX \][NWP]QNW\ Y[X]NL]RXW\ OX[ UX` `JPN `X[TN[\ J\ ]QN NLXWXVb `X[\NW\ By Rebecca Bowe rebeccab@sf bg.com Ms. Li has a petite build, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physically strong. Hauling around dish bins and boxes of produce weighing 50 pounds was part of her daily routine when she worked shifts lasting 12 hours a day, six days a week, at a San Francisco Chinatown eatery that later made headlines for its poor labor standards. Li, who did not share her full name for fear of retaliation, says things have improved slightly since the days she worked at King Tin Restaurant, which closed its doors abruptly in 2004 after workers who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen paychecks in months filed an onslaught of complaints. At the time, her husband was unemployed and she was struggling to support her two teenagers on a single paycheck totaling $950 a month. It took about five years before the San Francisco Office of Labor Standards Enforcement (OLSE), the City Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, and grassroots advocates with the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA) finally succeeded in forcing the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous owner
to grant Li and other workers the back wages they were owed. Now, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working 12 hour shifts, five days a week at a different restaurant, but says she still isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receiving minimum wage or overtime pay. Li aided in the efforts of the Progressive Workers Alliance (PWA) to urge members of the Board of Supervisors to pass the Wage Theft Prevention Ordinance, which aims to strengthen enforcement of local labor standards by empowering OLSE to take a more proactive role against employers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay workers what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re owed. As a kitchen worker at a highend restaurant in downtown San Francisco, Li receives a monthly paycheck totaling a little more than $1,400 before taxes. Take-home pay is less, because the employer deducts for meals, a requirement that cannot be dodged even if employees bring their own food. Li told the Guardian her coworkers are angry about the working conditions, but fear of job loss keeps them silent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of my coworkers work so hard that they cry,â&#x20AC;? she said, speaking through a translator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One worker was burned
badly in the kitchen, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compensation or paid sick leave.â&#x20AC;? That person uses their own ointment to treat the burns, she added. As she described her predicament at the CPA office in Chinatown, student volunteers were creating a banner to be displayed during a press event at City Hall. They arranged folded red and yellow petitions signed by workers in similar situations to spell out PWA, for Progressive Workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alliance, to urge city officials to crack down on employers who violate local labor laws. PWA has been meeting regularly since last year, but the organizations that are part of the advocacy group have been engaged in organizing low-wage workers for much longer. Over the course of more than three years, CPA interviewed hundreds of restaurant workers in Chinatown, and their surveys revealed that about half were not receiving San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum wage, while about 75 percent werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being paid overtime when they worked more than 40 hours a week. Yet the problem of wage

theft in San Francisco extends well beyond Chinatown. PWA includes representatives from CPA, the Filipino Community Center, Young Workers United, People Organized to Win Employment Rights (POWER), the San Francisco Day Labor Program, and Pride at Work, among others. On August 2, workers and organizers with PWA burst into thunderous applause after the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to pass the Wage Theft Prevention Ordinance on first reading. This represented a major victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the economic crisis, and the backlash against workers, we felt that as a small grassroots organization, we needed to have a more powerful voice and a specific space for worker issues to be brought to light,â&#x20AC;? CPA lead organizer Shaw San Liu said of the impetus behind PWA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about workers who are pretty vulnerable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not knowing the laws, not speaking the language. People who need a job and cannot afford to lose it are vulnerable to exploitation,â&#x20AC;? Liu said. While labor laws in San Francisco are uniquely strong, with mandatory paid sick leave and local minimum wage established at $9.92 per hour, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it comes to implementation and enforcement, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a lot left to be desired,â&#x20AC;? Liu said. As things stand, investigation :FEK@EL<J FE G8>< (' 55

Workers :FEK55 of employer violations are predicated on worker complaints, and it can take years for a worker to get a hearing if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re owed back wages. The Wage Theft Prevention Ordinance doubles the fines for employers who retaliate against workers who file complaints. It allows OLSE investigators to issue immediate citations if they detect a problem in a workplace. When an employer comes under investigation, it requires them to post a notice informing workers that they have a right to cooperate with investigators â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and imposes a fine for failing to post the notice. It also establishes a one-year timeline in which cases brought to OSLEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention must be resolved. Under the new law, employers would also be required to provide contact information to their workers, an important change for day laborers who are sometimes taken to job sites where they perform manual labor, only to be dropped off later without payment and no way to get in touch with their temporary bosses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have raised awareness
about the crisis of wage theft,â&#x20AC;? OLSE director Donna Levitt told workers at an Aug. 2 rally outside City Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we have made it clear that wage theft will not be tolerated in our city.â&#x20AC;? The ordinance was spearheaded by Sups. David Campos and Eric Mar, with Sups. Jane Kim, John Avalos, Ross Mirkarimi, and Board President David Chiu signing on as co-sponsors. Members of PWA met with supervisors to win their support, and even succeeded in bringing on board the influential Golden Gate Restaurant Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact is that even though we have minimum wage laws in place, those laws are still being violated not only throughout the country, but here in San Francisco,â&#x20AC;? Campos told the Guardian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wage theft is a crime, and we need to make sure that there is adequate enforcement â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that requires a change in the law so that we provide [OLSE] more tools and more power to make sure that the rights of workers are protected.â&#x20AC;? Victoria Aquino, 66, spent several years working 16-hour hours without minimum wage or overtime pay
as the sole live-in caregiver for six disabled patients at a San Francisco care center. Her duties included feeding patients, bathing them, changing diapers, and cleaning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The patients would knock to wake me up and ask me for cigarettes or food in the middle of the night,â&#x20AC;? she recounted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paid for that.â&#x20AC;? She first complained to OLSE after one of the patients physically attacked her, leaving her black and blue with a permanently injured finger, and later sought the help of the Filipino Community Center to file a claim demanding back wages. It took months, but her employer eventually settled, agreeing to pay $60,000 in back wages and reduce her shifts to eight hours a day. Aquino said she became involved with the Filipino Community Center because â&#x20AC;&#x153;there are a lot of caregivers still suffering, and more than I suffered â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the laws. I sympathize for them. It hurts me when I hear some caregivers who are no longer supposed to work. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re past their 70s, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still working.â&#x20AC;? 2

By forming a new nonprofit organization and forging partnerships with political and business leaders, the heads of the company that stages Burning Man say they are hoping to secure and expand the long-term future of the event and the culture that it has spawned, particularly here in San Francisco. The Burning Man Project (see “The future of Burning Man,” Aug. 3) was officially launched on Aug. 5 in United Nations Plaza, with speeches by Mayor Ed Lee, Board of Supervisors President David Chiu, Burning Man co-founder Larry Harvey, and others, addressing a large and colorful crowd from the Front Porch, an art project that looks like a country shack from the 1930s. “Welcome home, fellow burners,” declared Lee, who doesn’t attend Burning Man but whose office has tapped into the artwork and cultural cache of those who do, using it to decorate Market Street and sell its vision of rejuvenating the area with a mix of corporate tax breaks or artistic initiatives. “Burning Man has been a wonderful contributor to our central Market cultural district,” Lee said, going on to name a number of other businesses that are involved. “There’s not going to be a storefront available because they’ll be filled with art and people.” Chiu — who partnered with Lee to push tax breaks for Twitter and other businesses that move to Mid-
Market, yet is now his opponent in the mayor’s race — offered a similarly optimistic vision. “San Francisco has been a beacon to the world for creativity and innovation,” he said. Chiu praised the value that Burning Man places on experimentation, “and I’m not just talking about magic mushrooms,” he added, sending a murmur through the crowd. He even gave a nod to the event’s storied powers of transformation. “Mayor Lee and I are thinking about going up [to Burning Man] this year so we can resolve all the issues in City Hall out in the desert,” Chiu joked, although he did tell us that he is considering attending this year. Sup. Eric Mar is planning to attend Burning Man for his second time, and Sups. Malia Cohen and Jane Kim are said to be considering going as well. “Our goal is to bring the culture of Burning Man back to the world,” Harvey told the crowd. “Working with the city of San Francisco, we can do many things.” So far, most of those things are vaguely stated goals coupled with appeals for financial donations and volunteer help, which Harvey said they will need a lot of. Once they get rolling, Harvey said they aim to have a big impact on society. “We don’t want to merely decorate the city’s main street. That would be superficial. We want to change lives,” Harvey said. The new nonprofit grew as much out of infighting on the LLC board as it did Harvey’s high-minded goals (see “Man on the move,” 4/5/11), but
many burners have long argued that it’s time for a leadership transition. “I’ve been working to get to this point for 15 years,” board member Michael Mikel told the Guardian. He is one of Burning Man’s three main early leaders and someone who helped form Black Rock City LLC in 1996 after the departure of John Law, who was instrumental in establishing the event in the Black Rock Desert. And what is “this point” that he referred to? “This community can go on beyond the life of its founders,” Mikel replied. To begin the six-year process of turning full control of the event and Burning Man trademarks over to the new nonprofit, the LLC chose a board of familiar faces that it has worked closely with before. The new board members are Christopher Bently, a business person who owns the Bently Reserve, an event space popular with burners; hotelier and writer Chip Conley, CEO of Joie de Vivre Hospitality; Mike Farrah, a former top adviser to former Mayor Gavin Newsom and other SF politicians who now lives in New York City; Burning Man attorney Terry Gross (aka Lightning); film producer Chris Weitz; his wife, Mercedes Martinez, a former teacher and performer; Kay Morrison, who works with nonprofits in the Seattle area; Jennifer Raiser, a business person and blogger for sfwire.com; longtime burner Rae Richman, who runs Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors’ Bay Area office; installation artist Leo Villareal, a founder of New York’s Disorient sound camp; and David B. Walker, who has run museums, served as dean of an art school, and worked in investment banking. They join the six current LLC board members — Harvey, Mikel, Marian Goodell, Harley DuBois, Crimson Rose, and Will Roger — on the 17member board, although the new members will initially serve terms of just one year. “I think Mid-Market and the Tenderloin will be an arts district like nothing we’ve ever seen,” Conley, whose company headquarters and several of its 13 San Francisco hotels are located in the area, told the crowd. “Today is the birth of the Burning Man Project and our goal is to make Burning Man real around the world ... and around the year.” Or, as Richman told us, “I want people to not have to go out to the desert to have that opportunity for self-expression and creativity.” 2 ` ` ` K^[WRWPVJWY[XSNL] X[P

By Rebecca Bowe rebeccab@sf bg.com Follow the trail from Yosemite National Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rancheria Falls up along dusty switchbacks and down through a canopy of pines and madrones for roughly three miles, and you will reach Tiltill Valley. Accessible only to hikers and horseback riders, the backwoods meadow hums with the chatter of birds, bees, and the distant rush of water spilling over rocks. Butterflies dart among wild orchids, lilies, yarrow, and other kinds of flowering plants that thrive there, and a lone sequoia stands along the perimeter. The valley floor is lush and boggy, with the forested hills of the High Sierra as its backdrop. Tiltill Valley is a real-life example of what Yosemiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hetch Hetchy Valley might look like if the reservoir that holds San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water supply were drained and the terrain allowed to return to its natural state, according to Mike Marshall, executive director of Restore Hetch Hetchy. His nonprofit group has a singular mission, as the title suggests. The upbeat, 50-year-old former political consultant wants to place a charter amendment on the November 2012 ballot to ask San Francisco voters if Hetch Hetchy Reservoir should be drained so that the valley, which has been underwater since 1923, can be ecologically restored and turned into an attraction for park visitors. Yet that simply stated goal belies an extraordinarily difficult and expensive task, one that would fundamentally alter San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water delivery system and diminish a city-owned source of inexpensive, green energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The destruction of Hetch Hetchy Valley in the 1920s was the worst environmental disaster to ever besiege the national park system,â&#x20AC;? Marshall says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And today, it is completely out of whack with the values of the vast majority of people who live here.â&#x20AC;? But most city officials think this idea is just plain crazy. Whether or not it was a good idea to build the dam originally, they say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unwise and unrealistic to spend scarce resources to destroy one of cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable assets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While it is an interesting idea, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that there is yet a credible plan to move forward and actually restore Hetch Hetchy that will ensure that within our budget, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to get the water that 2.5 million Bay Area customers need, as well as do everything else that the current Hetch Hetchy system does,â&#x20AC;? Board President David Chiu told the Guardian. Based in San Francisco, Restore Hetch Hetchy worked in tandem with the Environmental Defense Fund and a consulting firm to craft a technical analysis describing how the city could continue receiving reliable freshwater deliveries without the reservoir, although it would require filtration because of its lower quality and be less abundant in drought years. While restoring the valley would be an ecological win in a perfect world, cost estimates range in the billions of dollars at a time when budgets are shrinking and economic turbulence

rocks the public and private sectors. Draining Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and replacing it with other water and power projects would punch holes in an already cash-strapped city budget, first with the high capital costs and then with higher long-term annual costs. The hydro-electric system provides carbon-free electricity to city agencies at basement rates and helps fund local renewable-energy projects, so relinquishing some of that generation capacity would be a step backward when it comes to addressing climate change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The loss of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir would fly in the face of every effort San Francisco has made to replace fossil-fuel power generation with renewable energy sources,â&#x20AC;? City Attorney Dennis Herrera wrote in a 2004 editorial in the Guardian. Losing hydropower from the dam, he wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;would force greater dependence on fossil-fuel electricity and impair low-cost hydropower with higher-cost renewables, making San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to create a sustainable energy future virtually impractical. And it would devastate our efforts to enact a public power system in San Francisco. Hetch Hetchy was built by people who envisioned a public power system to serve all of San Francisco. We should finish that system before we start tearing it down.â&#x20AC;? But when a round of invitations went out to Bay Area journalists to join a three-day
backpacking trip in Yosemite and learn about Restore Hetch Hetchyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision, I signed up to attend. After all, here was a chance to go backpacking in beautiful terrain and assess one of the most controversial and impactful proposals facing San Francisco. N8K<I Our first stop within park boundaries was a chocolate-colored chalet with a spacious deck overlooking the waterfront. Owned by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notorious in San Francisco politics as a weekend getaway for local elected officials, city commissioners, and favored staffers. Stories of the chalet abound, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rumored to have been the site of private soirees for powerful players and a rendezvous for lovers in extramarital affairs. The eight-mile long, 300-foot deep Hetch Hetchy Reservoir holds 360,000 acre-feet of water, and the dam itself is an impressive structure, although Marshall scoffs at the popular wisdom casting it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a marvel of engineering,â&#x20AC;? and dryly quips, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so was the Titanic.â&#x20AC;? Native American remains were buried underwater when it was built, Marshall told us as we peered out over the towering dam wall, and 67 lives were lost during construction. As we rounded the perimeter of the man-made

water body, sweating in the summer heat and saddled with gear, he asked us to imagine peering down into a dramatic sloping valley instead of what it looks like in its current state, which is a lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it a lake,â&#x20AC;? he insisted. Restore Hetch Hetchy regards the reservoir as an unnatural blemish that should never have been imposed upon a scenic and biodiverse environment in a national park. According to Mark Cedorborg, an ecological restoration expert with Hanford ARC and a Restore Hetch Hetchy board member who joined the trip, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for the natural ecosystem to bounce back if the water were removed, recreating a rare wildlife habitat that would mirror Yosemite Valley. Sierra Club founding president John Muir would have sided with them, of course. The famous ecologist wrote passionately about the valley and vehemently fought the effort to submerge it. At the time, a chorus of opposition arose against flooding Hetch Hetchy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that was before modern science documenting the impacts dams have wrought on the environment. A black-and-white image of Michael Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shaughnessy, the civil engineer behind the project, is posted on an info kiosk beside the dam, his eyebrows arched in a wizard-like, calculating gaze as he uses a pointer to mark the spot on a map of San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watershed. As things stand today, Hetch Hetchy Reservoir is a crucial storage facility for drinking water. Freshwater flowing from the Tuolumne River through the glacial formation accounts for 85 percent of SFPUC deliveries to about 2.5 million customers in the city and on the peninsula. Hetch Hetchy is unique in that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one of a handful of water systems nationwide that uses chemical treatment and ultraviolet disinfection, but no filtration, to purify fresh water that is transported along a gravity-fed system down to the city. SFPUC spokesperson Tyrone Jue said Hetch Hetchy water does not require filtration â&#x20AC;&#x153;because basically, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a giant granite basin there in the reservoir, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no sedimentation.â&#x20AC;? He added that the water quality is exceptionally high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high up in the watershed. The higher up in the watershed, the better it is.â&#x20AC;? Restore Hetch Hetchy has submitted a number of proposals to ensure that San Francisco could still receive adequate supplies without the reservoir, including constructing a new intertie at Don Pedro Reservoir, which lies downstream from Hetch Hetchy, to get drinking water supplies from there instead. Under this scenario, the SFPUC would continue to get its water from the Tuolumne River â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it would have to build a new filtration system to treat it because the water quality would be worse and the city would lose its federal waiver. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an expensive consideration, particularly at a time when city coffers are depleted, critical services for vulnerable populations have been gutted, and taxpayers are wary of authorizing costly new endeavors.

counties scrambling to secure reliable deliveries. “The Hetch Hetchy water system is a fully owned public asset,” Jue notes. “At a time when state and federal governments are struggling with even being able to close our budget deficits, to even look at dismantling an environmentally sound, cost-efficient water system that delivers water to 2.5 million people is sort of outrageous.” GFN<I In addition to capturing the flow of pristine Tuolumne River water that eventually makes its way into the city’s plumbing network, O’Shaughnessy Dam is a key component of the SFPUC-owned hydro-electric system, which pro-
by the Environmental Defense Fund suggests the city would only suffer a 20 percent decline in the hydro-electric output, since operations at other SFPUC reservoirs would continue. The hydro-electric system also generates revenue through the sale of excess power to Turlock and Modesto irrigation districts, but that would come to an end if the generation capacity fell by 20 percent. Restore Hetch Hetchy estimates this loss to be around $10 million annually. “Whenever we sell the power to Modesto and Turlock, that revenue then goes to fund programs like GoSolarSF, and all of our energyefficiency retrofits of municipal facilities,” Jue explains. If the city lost its ability to sell off this excess sup-

duced 1.7 billion kilowatt hours of power last year with no greenhouse gas emissions. If efforts to advance the cause of a public power system resurfaced in San Francisco, having the full capacity of the Hetch Hetchy hydro-electric generation in place would be vital. Juice for city streetlights, Muni’s light rail cars, the chandeliers adorning the Board Chambers in City Hall, and countless other municipal uses are derived from this gravity-fed system, which provides roughly one-fifth of San Francisco’s overall energy needs. City departments pay three or four cents per kilowatt-hour, less than what it costs to generate the power. If all the hydro-electric power were eliminated and substituted with PG&E power, the city would get pinned with $32 million in additional costs annually, and its carbon footprint would expand by more than 900 million pounds of greenhouse-gas emissions, according to the SFPUC. However, a technical report produced
ply, “We would no longer be getting power revenue at all, which we’re using to help fund community choice aggregation.” Fraught with problems as it is, the city’s effort to launch a community choice aggregation program offering residential customers an alternative to PG&E nevertheless holds promise as a powerful green shift for a major metropolitan hub. For all the ecological benefits to Yosemite, restoring Hetch Hetchy could wind up undercutting the fledgling green power initiative, and the upshot would be a boon for PG&E. Coupled with the fact that ceding control of the valley back to the National Park Service could strip the city of its mandate for public power, the utility giant would benefit tremendously from this plan. All of this makes it somewhat surprising that District 5 Sup. Ross Mirkarimi, a longtime champion of the cause of public power, appointed Marshall to serve on the SFPUC Citizens Advisory Committee, a move that rankled SFPUC staff.
“I’ve known Mike many years and have found him to be whip smart when it comes to complicated policy issues,” Mirkarimi told the Guardian when asked about this. “He knows that I am an unwavering supporter for public power and that I’d hope his advocacy on the SFPUC continues to advance and innovate our locallydriven clean energy objectives.” GFC@K@:J The concept of bringing back Hetch Hetchy Valley originated with the Sierra Club in 1999, and several mainstream environmental organizations have lent support for the cause although few have made it a high priority. Nevertheless, there’s plenty of financial backing and support from key political players to keep the vision alive. Democratic County Central Committee Chair Aaron Peskin, a member of Restore Hetch Hetchy’s national advisory board, told me he’s been active with the group for at least a decade, making him a rare exception among the city’s political leaders. “San Francisco is a remarkably sophisticated town that is technologically advanced and environmentally advanced, and this is an opportunity to right one of the most destructive environmental wrongs,” he said. “It’s time to start a local and national conversation.” He acknowledged that there were a lot of technical issues to contend with, saying, “It should only be done in a way that makes sure San Francisco and communities that rely on the system are taken care of.” Major funders backing Restore Hetch Hetchy include retired businesspeople from the financial sector, Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard, council members of the Yosemite Conservancy, and Lance Olson, a Restore Hetch Hetchy board member and partner in Olson Hagel & Fishburn, LLP, a prominent Sacramento legal firm that represents the California Democratic Party and elected officials. Other influential and politically connected individuals have joined the effort as well. Marshall assured me that “no one from PG&E has given us a dime.” Yet the project still faces some powerful opponents. “I have opposed removing the O’Shaughnessy Dam in Hetch Hetchy Valley for decades and I remain opposed,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein told the Guardian. “Draining the reservoir would endanger San Francisco’s water supply, further jeopardize California’s water infrastructure and impose a huge financial burden on the state.” 2

Marshall defends the cost by asserting that the current system is flawed; the lack of filtration makes San Francisco’s water more susceptible to contamination from nasty microorganisms like cryptosporidium and giardia, he says. “San Francisco has a unique health demographic in that over 5 percent of the people that live in the city have compromised immune systems, if you just look at people who are HIV positive,” he said. “Ultimately, San Francisco is going to be forced to filter its water, so why are we kicking this can down the road?” But filtering water at the residential level would be far cheaper than tearing down the dam. Jue pegs the cost of a new filtration system at somewhere between $3 billion and $10 billion, but Marshall rejects that estimate as “just crazy.” So we called Xavier Irias, director of engineering at the East Bay Municipal Utility District. “Ten looks a little high, but the three sounds very credible,” Irias said, acknowledging that there were many complicating factors that could affect cost. Ultimately, he said, the cost range could be anywhere from half a billion to the single-digit billions of dollars. “With the filtration costs, not only are you talking about building a facility to filter the water, you’re now talking about increased power consumption to basically power those filtration plants,” Jue noted. “You’d have to start pumping water, which would require additional energy. And then on top of that, there’s the longterm operation.” What’s more is that the quantity of water that San Francisco now depends on wouldn’t be guaranteed every year. According to an analysis done in partnership with the Environmental Defense Fund, reconfiguring the system to tap Don Pedro would result in 19 percent less water delivered from the Tuolumne in critically dry years, and similar losses would result from alternative proposals like tapping Cherry Reservoir, another storage facility in the SFPUC system. Restore Hetch Hetchy has suggested that the shortfall could be made up in part with new water-conservation measures, something that cities arguably ought to be practicing anyhow since climate change threatens to bring about drier conditions in California’s watershed. It could also place the city in the position of having to go to the open market to purchase water for customers — just as dwindling water supplies raise the temperature between cities and

Crowded funds =QN ^Y\ JWM MX`W\ XO NW][NY[NWN^[\QRY XW 4RLT\]J[]N[ By Claire Mullen culture@sf bg.com :8I<<IJ 8E; <; Regan Long and Sarah Fenson have been brewing beer in San Francisco for seven years. It’s their passion, but they didn’t think it could be their business until recently. Friends and family kept insisting that their beers were pub-worthy, so last year they began the first steps toward opening a brewery. They began hauling kegs to Dolores Park for free weekend tastings on the hill, leading small homebrewing workshops at the Underground Market, and getting as much feedback from locals as they could. In fact, they decided to call the venture Local Brewing Co. Nowadays, the brews can be found on tap throughout the city. Due to the duo’s limited equipment, they sell out quickly — even at their appearance at an SF Beer Week event back in February. “We had restaurants asking us, ‘where can we get more of your beer?’” Long told the Guardian. “So now here we are — with the demand but no real supply, until we can get our own brewery.” Enter Kickstarter, one of many new websites dedicated to an innovative online method of financing projects called crowd funding. The site began in 2009 as a place where creative types could go to pitch a project and ask others
to pledge small or large amounts of money to see it through to completion. So far, more than 10,000 projects have been funded and over $70 million pledged on the site. Lenore Estrada, one of the three eponymous babes from SF’s Three Babes Bakeshop, says that Kickstarter support determined their bakery’s future. Estrada, Anna DeriviCastellanos, and Katrina Svoboda began by selling pies on weekends in a shipping container behind a local café. After successfully raising $10,000 through Kickstarter they’re now doing home delivery, selling through farmers markets, and considering opening in a storefront. The plan worked, says Estrada, because Kickstarter’s model forced the Three Babes to connect with San Franciscans who don’t know about their pie-filled shipping container. “In the process of raising money we were putting out the word for our business and generating future sales and interest,” she says. But it doesn’t work for everyone. Kickstarter projects must have a goal amount of money to raise and a time period in which to raise it (usually a month). People who want a so-called “creative project” to succeed pledge as much as they would like — but no one shells out anything unless the project reaches its goal. No achieved goal, no project funded. Long and Fenson needed to raise $69,000 by July 25 to be successful but only drummed up $18,536 in pledge money. Most Kickstarter campaigns aim for $10,000 or less, but commercial brewing equipment does not come cheap.
Kickstarter’s reliance on social networking to get the word out proved to be a problem for Local Brewing Co. “The biggest hurdle is getting people to the web after they’ve already seen and enjoyed the beer,” Long said during their campaign. “Although people clearly like the beer, they aren’t going from the bars to their computers to pledge as often as we had hoped. We’re on Facebook and Twitter trying to promote through those channels and with email lists, but it’s really about getting more people to know about the project and spreading through word of mouth.” Estrada says Three Babes Bakeshop’s strategy relied almost exclusively on online tools to connect with pledgers. “We all did a really good job of marketing to our friends and various networks to try to raise money.” She says the business connected its online campaign and potential pledgers by throwing a campaign party. Local Brewing Co. did this too — the practice has become an expected part of many crowd-funding business campaigns. Johnny Travis, co-owner of the San Francisco t-shirt brand Fearless and Zealous Everyday (FAZE) apparel, recently finished a successful Kickstarter campaign. FAZE has operated in San Francisco since 2007 and needed extra funding to make the jump beyond t-shirts to a fall-winter line including jackets and sweaters. Travis says that, “with our particular project it was mostly family and friends. There were a few people from the Kickstarter community

[who’d we’d never met] who donated, but the way we went about promoting the project was all electronic: email, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and telling coworkers and friends who would then tell others about the project. Kickstarter made a sort of camaraderie between us and the people who support us.” Travis says that in addition to widening his company’s social base Kickstarter provided a way for FAZE to grow without giving up ownership or accruing debt by taking out loans. “Not giving up equity and ownership was really important to us. It’s one of the reasons we chose the Kickstarter approach.” But there are significant risks involved in Kickstarter for both for the project owners and its backers. Kickstarter deducts five percent of a successfully funded project’s funds, and the payment processor charges an additional three to five percent for credit card processing fees. Owners often put a month’s energy into a campaign only to fall a few hundred dollars short, gaining nothing. A little less than half of Kickstarter’s proposed projects meet their needed goals. “It’s a nail biter,” says Estrada. “We tried to make sure that we set a realistic goal.” In return for pledges, backers are promised a non-monetary item. Three Babes Bakeshop offered donors slices of pie, gift certificates for pie-in-a-jar up, even dinners for 10 (complete with a delicious dessert, of course). By giving non-monetary rewards the project owners maintain control of their money and avoid paying high-interest loans. There has been speculation that business owners could have a difficult time fulfilling these reward promises during the initial startup time after a project is funded. Kickstarter does not guarantee receipt of the rewards, nor does it ensure that projects will be completed once funded. Like so many online sites it relies on member’s own integrity and self-policing to ensure users are reputable. So far complaints have been minimal and the resulting funded projects satisfying for both owners and those who pledge. “You need to know that what you promise is something you can reasonably follow through with,” Lenore said. “If we thought, ‘hey, we’re just getting free money for our start-up and we don’t have to repay anyone’ we would be in trouble [as a business] even if we did meet our goal.” Travis agrees, “If you promise something and don’t follow through, that just looks bad on you.” All in all, he says using the site has been an affirmative experience for his business, giving FAZE the customer connection that defines many success stories. “I would recommend it to many people, Kickstarter and the other sites like it. Just make sure it fits you and your brand,” Travis says. “People have more satisfaction because they’re behind something and they’re getting a part of it in return. They’re the evolution of our business.” 2

Paper or pixels? Baseball scores and the new summer health education class figure on the web and print versions of Lowell High School’s student newspaper. | @D8><J :FLIK<JP F= K?< CFN<CC
:8I<<IJ 8E; <; It’s hardly breaking news that the world of print journalism has been flipped on its head in recent years by the rise of the blogger, and the trials and tribulations of paper publications. High school newsrooms have hardly been exempted from the medium’s challenges. In fact, in many ways they’re on the front lines. The pre-collegiate generation, after all, has grown up with itchy Google fingers. As a high school journalist myself, I felt it was high time we looked at how the youngest crop of newspaper writers is dealing with the dramatic shifts taking place in the media. I interviewed high school student-editors all over San Francisco. I’ll profile two in this article who have differing views on what the Internet means to the news — but agree that major shifts are brewing. The Parkside neighborhood’s Lowell High School has been publishing its award-winning newspaper since 1898. Aaron Pramana, the current web editor-in-chief and the rest of the school’s news team put out eight monthly issues of the Lowell each year, distributing papers to the entire student population of 2,800 plus teachers and various subscribers. Pramana, a 17-year old senior, hasn’t seen a drop in readership over his years at the school, and thinks that the majority of Lowell students read the paper regularly. He says that the paper actually

:8I<<IJ " <;L:8K@FE plays a pretty big role on campus. “Our paper inspires positive change at our school by bringing to light issues that affect the student body and that might have gone unnoticed otherwise.” But times are changing nonetheless. Like many other high school papers, the Lowell has chosen to create an online website. “We opened our website in 2003,” says Pramana. “Originally, its sole purpose was to republish articles already seen in the print edition. Today, our website has special web-only stories as well as multimedia features like photos, podcasts, and video in addition to articles already published.” The newspaper also operates an Twitter account and Facebook page during the school year. Pramana sees the Internet’s impact on the paper and journalism on the whole as a positive one — he thinks that professional journalists will adjust to the Internet’s popularity, even if it means the loss of a printed paper. “I feel the Internet will help current events and media become more accessible to the public, which is ultimately a good thing. I believe the industry will eventually find a business model that allows them to remain solvent while maintaining quality, even if that means letting go of print publications.” Pramana says his paper tends to publish fewer pages per issues these days “in favor of publishing more web-only stories. This allows us to report on the most timely stories immediately, while saving space in the paper for features and opinions that don’t get outdated.” His glowing view of web journalism is not shared by all his peers. Kathy Woo, last year’s co-editor of Washington High School’s newspaper, believes that the Internet has done more to harm than to help journalism and that it “has generally made a negative impact, in that its convenience has prompted the reduction of printed paper,” which in turn has led to paper closures around the country.
But Woo says in terms of Washington High’s paper, the Eagle, “students prefer to read the [print version] rather than Eaglei, our Internet site. The paper is distributed to every English class and students are free to — and do — pick up the paper to read.” The discrepancy might have to do with the relative usability of the paper’s sites — Eaglei is a bit less user-friendly than the Lowell’s slickly produced site. The Eagle, which has been publishing since 1954, is distributed every month and a half. But print distribution is spendy; although readership of the paper was good last year, Woo and her staff ran into budget difficulties when it came to publishing. “The biggest issue the Eagle faced this year was the budget to print the paper,” Woo says. “Budget cuts have been made throughout California schools and any available funds have been used sparingly and are directed towards basic necessities.” Her paper’s budget came mostly from Washington’s parentteacher-student association, as well as community sponsors, and local businesses that advertised within its pages. Pramana and the staff at Lowell High School rely on print advertisements as the main source of budget for the paper. Members of the Lowell’s staff are required to sell at least three advertisements per semester so the paper can plan on a fixed amount of finance. Perhaps most surprising — and perhaps telling of journalism’s current flux — is that neither Pramana nor Woo are hoping to pursue journalism as a career. Woo, now a freshman in college, is a film and media studies major at the University of California Santa Barbara and aspires to become a movie director. “A career in journalism was definitely an option for me, but I found something I loved doing even more, which is filmmaking. I still love to write and who knows, things down the road might change
and I’ll just fall in love with journalism all over again.” “I doubt I’d work as a journalist, but I might blog in my spare time,” says Pramana, who plans to study computer science after graduating next spring. “I think a career in journalism is possible, just not in the way it was a decade ago. Instead of working for a newspaper or syndicate, more writers will turn to smaller news websites or start blogging independently. This gives them more control over how their work is published and compensated. Newspapers are laying off their employees because print journalism involves too much overhead to be viable and competitive with niche news websites.” Both editors say that the majority of the students on their newspaper staffs don’t have plans of continuing on the path to a career in journalism. “The individuals behind The Eagle don’t all necessarily have long term goals of becoming journalists,” says Woo. “There are some who, in the process of choosing their classes, found journalism to be interesting and applied for it to try something new and see what the class had to offer. There are those who join in the hopes of improving their writing and English skills. There are the returning second, third, or fourth year journalism students, and there are the aspiring journalists. And there may be a few students who didn’t know what classes to choose and therefore chose journalism on a whim.” As they continue to find success with their publications in print and on the web, the youngest crop of Bay Area journalists are hardly calling to “stop the presses.” But judging from their experiences, changes may be on deck in the world of newspapers. 2 Sean Hurd is a senior at Lick-Wilmerding High School and coeditor of its student newspaper the Paper Tiger

Interns get to roam around Alcatraz, helping tourists with directions and additional information and demonstrating the uses of antique prison equipment. They’ll have access to behind-the-scenes tours and other activities on “the Rock.” Sounds great for those working on their public speaking skills — or History Channel nuts, of course.

Say hay By Paul Reidinger paulr@sfbg.com ;@E< We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t typically use the expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;start-upâ&#x20AC;? when talking about restaurants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the phrase belongs to Techtopia and implies, at least to me, oceans of venture capital and huge salaries for people who run companies that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make money. But if we did, Straw would be an ideal one. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sort of place one saw quite a few of in the early to mid 1990s, in that interval between the disasters of stock-marketcrash/earthquake/war/fire and the start of the first tech boom. In that moment, people seemed to feel a renewed sense of optimism but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have pots of money. The result was a sequence of new restaurants offering superior food, high value, and modest (sometimes DIY) dĂŠcor. If you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to have Cass Calder Smith design your dining room, you could still somehow let it be known, through the medium of unprepossessingness, that you were reserving your best efforts for the food and service. Straw, in this important sense, feels like a throwback from 1995. The restaurant (which opened in January) is small and slightly scruffy and is in an old building â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a small
oddity along Octavia Boulevard, which is newness itself and has been the occasion for all sorts of fresh construction in the past few years. The white walls, slightly scuffed, are hung with carnival posters, and some of the window seating seems to have been salvaged from a ride at a state fair somewhere. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a place like this in more than a decade, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think, not since the days when 3 Ring tried to make its circus theme fly in the old Val 21 space (now Dosa) on Valencia. What kind of food would you expect to find at a carnival? Straw does provide some witty answers to this question, but the menu ranges gracefully beyond the obvious, which is to say the fried. Still, the fried stuff is good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a basket of little corn dogs ($7.75), made of Niman Ranch beef and looking like batter-fried musket balls. These were wonderfully crisp and juicy, and the trio of dipping sauces â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nacho cheese, spicy ketchup, and ranch dressing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each had a strong enough personality to make it distinct, one from the others. The prawn ceviche ($7.75), boldly seasoned with habanero, lime, cilantro, and red pepper was presented in a fried tortilla cup, the kind tortilla salads come in, along with some tortilla chips on the side. These turned out to be good for dispensing with the last of the corndog sauces.
But not everything is fried, and the kitchen helps itself to a wide variety of influences. Grilled cobs of corn ($4) sprinkled with feta cheese, cayenne, and chili powder and presented with fresh lime and what the menu calls, with charming redundancy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;garlic aioli,â&#x20AC;? seemed to have Mexican roots, while the mac â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cheese ($5), fortified with bacon and slices of apple (an excellent idea) was a nice little crock of Americana. The menu is also vegetarianfriendly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not just in the small dishes, though quite a few of those are meatless, among them the tomato soup, pretzel bites, and several of the salads. An entrĂŠe called samba on subuco ($12), festively joined chunks of butternut squash and eggplant in a slightly sweet (but not cloying) coconut-milk curry broth reminiscent of many a hormak talay in Thai restaurants. This dish succeeded for me, despite the eggplant which managed to be both rubbery and mushy. Places are found for flesh too, often cleverly. We were particularly impressed by the satchemo ($15), a bed of creamy white grits carefully inlaid with sautĂŠed prawns, leaves of linguiça, and green filet beans. Apart from being flavorful and well-balanced, the dish was beautiful to look at: like a tile taken from the palace of an Ottoman pasha. I was a little less impressed with the picadilly ($14.75), if only because I wonder if a fish as marvelous as ahi tuna needs to be turned into fish sticks. Ahi, like beef, can stand on its
own and is generally best when standing on its own. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take all that kindly to elaborate treatments and back-room, hardball techniques like breading and frying. Doing that to a nice piece of ahi is a little like getting out your best lead crystal to serve some Diet Coke. The accompanying mayonnaise was astounding, however. No carnival would be complete without a root beer float, and Straw offers a nice one ($5.50), made with root beer gelato and served with a straw (!) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not exactly radical ideas but sound ones. The more radical idea was laying little sticks of candied bacon atop an almost impossibly creamy peanut butter pie ($6) in a chocolate crust. Peanut butter and chocolate are one of sweetdomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divine combinations (also totally New World), and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never heard the pair were looking for a third, certainly not pork. The truth is that the pie would have been fine without it. But the meat brought a bit of salty-sweet chewiness for contrast, and the result was better than fair. 2 675$: -RWWN[# 6XW <J] Y V $ <^W " Y V +[^WLQ# <J] <^W J V Y V 8L]J_RJ </ ``` \][J`\O LXV /^UU KJ[ 6, ? 7XR\b @QNNULQJR[ JLLN\\RKUN

Sneaky peeps By L.E. Leone le.chicken.farmer@gmail.com :?<8G <8KJ Do you remember the chicken farmer? Not me. The real one, Fabienne Gagagaga, upon whose farm on the west coast of France I landed serendipitously a year-anda-half ago when I was ejected from Germany? Remember? I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know she was a chicken farmer until she picked me up at the train station in a pickup truck, with shit on her shoes and hay in her hair, and fed me homekilt lamb and the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best butter until I had regained enough strength to help her clean some coops and cook a cherry-beerchicken-heart stew with so many hearts in it that I half-expected to still see it this time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a year-anda-half-later â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the stove where it stayed, for days, while we dipped in every dinnertime. Remember how I accidentally left the farm and fell into the hands of hippies from Pleiades, who anointed me with essential oils and tried to make suicide pacts with me? Well, ever since then I have been trying, in one way or another, to get back to the farm. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been home, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been happy, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been scared, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even been in love again, but still I have wanted to come back to this place, in a less depressed state of mind this time, and help Fabienne take care of her chickens. Voila. After dark tonight, in about 10 minutes, we are going to â&#x20AC;&#x153;take careâ&#x20AC;? of about a hundred of them. She has 102. Two are for eggs. At 10 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock, she and I, her boyfriend Fred, and her dad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hold on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock . . . Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noon, the next day. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three in the morning to you, and even though Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here for a couple weeks already, being a chicken farmer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; getting my chicken farmer back on, so to speak â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still confusing inside my body. Her chickens are free-range, happy farm chickens, and she raises them (except the two) for meat. I stood outside in the rain last night, opening and closing plastic cages and counting to seven, over and over again, in French, while the others raided the coop and stuffed the cages. The happy part of 7 x 14 little free range lives was over.
Those plastic cages went onto a little trailer, and we went to bed so we could get up at four in the morning to take them to a sort of a finishing school. When they come back they will be finished. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the happiness begins for Fabienneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customers. Many of whom donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the hearts and livers. So this is also where the happiness begins for me. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ahead of myself by even more than nine hours now. Where was I, from a Cheap Eats standpoint? Oh yeah. Staying at the Edwardian Hotel for one night, and walking past Rebel Bar on our way to sushi. There was a sandwich board on the sidewalk that said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sneakyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BBQâ&#x20AC;? with an arrow pointing across the street to Martuniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. What the? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we both wondered, but did not stop to investigate because, although Hedgehog loves barbecue every bit as much as I do, we had our stomachs set on sushi. After which we walked on the Martuniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side of Market Street, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even need to open the door to know they were not barbecuing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not even sneakily â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in there. So we crossed the road. Why? Because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m supposed to know about these things. We decided to have barbecue for dessert. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a thin line between rebellion and dyslexia, turns out. Of course thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Sneakyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is. We ordered a couple of PBRs and a mess oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chicken wings, smoked, with the spicy habanerojalapeno sauce. The bandannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d dude at the table next to us turned out to be the cook. How sneaky of him. He jumped up when he heard spicy, all excited, and took over for our waitressperson, talking us into some kind of crazy spicy on-theside sauce too, then disappearing into the kitchen. The wings were good. Plenty spicy even without all the craziness. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to come home now, to pork bellies, brisket, and pulled pork. Meanwhile, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see you in my dreams, Sneaky. 2 61($.<¡6 %%4 2W\RMN ;NKNU +J[ 6XW " Y V $ =^N /[R Y V $ <J] WXXW Y V $ <^W WXXW " Y V 6J[TN] </ /^UU KJ[ *. - 6, ?

A resource guide for your vegetarian restaurant and shopping needs!
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Fact! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kid yourself about eating local food. We applaud the idea of eating food grown locally. But, few major crops originated in the United States. We claim sunflower seeds, wild rice, acorns and some berries. Most of the rest comes from somewhere else. But, you can shop locally at Rainbow Grocery.

Doom resurrection @R]Q /DVW 5LWHV _N]N[JW VN]JU KJWM 9NW]JP[JV ORWM\ J WN` KNPRWWRWP By Ben Richardson arts@sfbg.com DLJ@: Pentagram has had more members than many bands have songs. You could see the band three times and see 10 different people, with singer Bobby Liebling and his spooky, howling voice the only constant. But when Liebling takes the stage in San Francisco August 16, guitarist Victor Griffin will be beside him. Over the course of 30 years, their relationship has endured enough hardship and heartbreak to last a dozen lifetimes. When they stand together onstage, however, nothing can stop them. Liebling, who founded Pentagram in 1971, grew up an only child in D.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tony Virginia suburbs. When a high school guidance counselor suggested he take some time off before starting college, the goggle-eyed vocalist threw himself headlong into the two activities that would come to define the rest of his life: music and drugs. Like Liebling, Griffin embarked on his rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll career right out of high school. With friend and bassist
Lee Abney, he had founded an outfit called Death Row, which gave voice to his thunderous, Sabbath-inspired guitar playing. In 1980, needing a drummer, the pair moved to D.C., where they linked up with Joe Hasselvander. The trio then began searching for a singer; with some trepidation, Hasselvander mentioned Liebling. He played Griffin a seveninch single featuring two Pentagram classics: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Livinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in a Ramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Headâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the Screams Come.â&#x20AC;? Reached by phone from his home in Tennessee, Griffin remembers that moment: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just blown away. To this day, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still one of my favorite recordings of Bobby.â&#x20AC;? Despite Lieblingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talents as a singer, however, Hasselvander had his doubts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pretty much all for it,â&#x20AC;? continues Griffin, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but he went into a little more detail. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d played with Bobby around â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;78, and Bobby had blown some deals because of the drug use.â&#x20AC;? Death Row decided to take a chance, inviting Liebling to try out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hit it off right away,â&#x20AC;? Griffin recalls. The guitarist had written lyrics for his songs, and rough vocal melodies, but he told Liebling to â&#x20AC;&#x153;just take it and do your thing with it.â&#x20AC;? The results were impressive.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I can remember from that audition is just smiling from ear to ear,â&#x20AC;? Griffin says with a chuckle. The pair formed a friendship and musical relationship that would last for three dramatic decades. Liebling was notoriously difficult to get along with, combining prickly pride and erratic, drug-induced behavior, but in Griffin, he found himself a partner, both in music and in crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobby and I have never had a problem with each other,â&#x20AC;? the guitarist allows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kind of share a weakness for drugs and alcohol. We kind of fed off each other.â&#x20AC;? Liebling is enthusiastic: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the same person in a lot of ways and nearly exactly the same person musically,â&#x20AC;? he wrote in an email interview. Though the quartet initially performed as Death Row, it soon adopted the Pentagram moniker, losing two members, Hasselvander and Abney, in the process. Liebling and Griffin became the core of the band. But though they were producing some of the best Pentagram material to date, the duo never made it far outside the D.C. area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back in the olden days, we just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really care,â&#x20AC;? says Griffin, ruefully. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the whole sex, drugs, and rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll attitude.â&#x20AC;?

Review your choices: Pentagramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bobby Liebling (far left, front; also far right, in an old-school shot) and Victor Griffin (far left, in sunglasses) are on tour with a reformed Pentagram in support of new album Last Rites (album art pictured at center bottom). >IFLG G?FKF 9P B<@K? ?P;<2 C@<9C@E> G?FKF 9P :8D<IFE ;8M@;JFE
Throughout the 80s and early 90s, the drugs continued to exact their toll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were our own worst enemy,â&#x20AC;? admits Griffin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made a lot of bad decisions. I regret the ones that I made that hurt people. Especially people that I loved,â&#x20AC;? Liebling adds. In 1996, after a seemingly endless litany of acrimonious disputes, Griffin quit the band. He eventually succeeded in ending his long-running addiction to drugs and alcohol, emerging in 2000 at the head of Place of Skulls, a new band heavily informed by the guitaristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embrace of a fervent Christian faith. Liebling was left, as he had been at many times in his career, with a band name, a collection of songs, and not much else. Even his storied voice was beginning to decay, thanks to nearly forty years of heroin and cocaine abuse. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until he met his now-wife, Hallie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 27 years his junior â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in 2006, that he was finally able to get clean. When guitarist Russ Strahan quit a patchwork version of Pentagram the day before the start of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 tour, Liebling called Griffin. Now sober, the guitarist was interested, but skeptical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure I believed it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard every story Bobbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever had to tell. I know him as [well] â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; than most people.â&#x20AC;? Still, Griffin agreed to rejoin the band on the condition that Liebling remain clean.
Since that fateful decision, Pentagram is arguably more secure and more successful than itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever been. In April 2011, the band released the thunderous studio album Last Rites. On the road, Liebling and Griffin look out for each other, supporting each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to stay sober. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of people out there who would like to screw you up,â&#x20AC;? explains the guitarist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that both of us being on the same page with all this stuff is definitely a help â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to know that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a brother there with you, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna back you up.â&#x20AC;? Liebling agrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The band is stronger when we are together,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so lucky to have him back.â&#x20AC;? When asked if he thinks Pentagram might finally be getting a second chance, Griffin is cautiously optimistic: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes it seems like we never really got a first chance. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to take advantage of it now, and make better decisions than we used to make back then. Live better lives.â&#x20AC;? 2 3(17$*5$0 @R]Q 9NURLJW *UYRWR\] 6J\JTJ[R .J[Ub 0[J_N\ +JY]R\]\ JWM *NPN\ =^N\ # Y V 6NccJWRWN 3N\\RN </ ``` VNccJWRWN\O LXV

“Have you ever had ... an Egyptian feast?”: a new doc (left) celebrates the career of Herschell Gordon Lewis, director of 1963’s Blood Feast (right).
A gutsy legacy KI8J? Movies today might be a gutless affair if not for the industry of Herschell Gordon Lewis a half-century ago. Literally gutless — you have Lewis to thank for every splattersome moment of exposed entrails and explicit gougings since. Oh sure, the restrictions against graphic violence in U.S. cinema would have lapsed eventually, degree by degree. But who else would have had the nerve to do it all in one swoop with a movie as early, and thoroughly tasteless, as 1963’s Blood Feast? Nothing like it had existed before, and those few who noticed it outside rural drivein and urban grindhouse viewers surely wished it never would again. (The L.A. Times called it “a blot on the American film industry,” Variety “an insult to even the most puerile and salacious audiences.”) A futile wish, that. Next week sees the DVD release of, incredibly, 82-year-old Lewis’ latest feature: The Uh-Oh! Show, a reality TV spoof whose game contestants win fabulous prizes for getting answers right — and suffer grisly body-part losses if they don’t. A month later Image Entertainment and Something Weird will spring both a “Blood Trilogy” Blu-ray set of his first three horror “classics,” as well as Jimmy Maslon and Basket Case (1982) director Frank Henenlotter’s documentary portrait Herschell Gordon Lewis: The Godfather of Gore. The latter features such fans as Joe Bob Briggs and John Waters, surviving collaborators, and of course Lewis himself tracing his infamous influential cinematic path amidst myriad original clips.
This was not begun as a personal mission of rebellion, perversity, or artistic aspiration, but for sheer profit pursuit. After checking out possible careers from radio to teaching English Lit, he found a Chicago berth in advertising, which eventually led to making commercials and buying out a small production company. Figuring there was more moolah in features, Lewis partnered with producer Dave Friedman and found some success via pre-porn “nudie cuties” with titles like Boin-n-g and Goldilocks and the Three Bares (both 1963). Just as they’d imitated Russ Meyer, however, others soon imitated them, overcrowding the field with topless frolics. What other naughty but inexpensive concept could they exploit that others hadn’t milked dry yet? The answer was Blood Feast, shot in nine days for $20,000, wherein an alleged caterer (the wildly hammy Mal Arnold as “Fuad Ramses”) gathering ingredients for a socialite’s “Egyptian feast” rips limbs and whatnot from comely young women to revive an ancient goddess. The acting was atrocious (especially by Playboy centerfold star Connie Mason), the script was laughable, and the craftsmanship primitive at best. When Blood premiered at a Peoria, Ill. drive-in, viewers howled with laughter — then hurled, as on-screen victims had brains, tongues, etc. separated from their person, then dangled in front of the camera at length. (These local butcher-shop bits often grew rather ripe by shooting time; pity the poor actress who had to stuff a rank cow tongue in her mouth.) Friedman and Lewis duly
provided souvenir vomit bags at future venues. They had a hit. Plenty more such followed, though Friedman eventually went off to L.A. to make his own sexier cheapies (such as 1968’s Nude Django and Thar She Blows!, and 1971’s The Big Snatch). Feast’s immediate follow-up Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964) was a comparatively elaborate horror comedy that remains Lewis’ personal favorite. But when it failed to make more money despite improved production values, he learned his lesson and kept costs dirt cheap. By 1972’s The Gore Gore Girls, even he realized he’d taken red paint and animal innards as far over-the-top as they could go, leaving the movie biz to become a highly successful guru of direct marketing. Until a rising tide of cult rediscovery finally prompted a larky return in 2002’s Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat, that is. At nearly two hours, The Godfather of Gore covers a lot of ground, guided by an octogenarian subject who’s still every inch the flamboyant salesman. Beyond the horror films, it touches on Lewis’ forays into biker action (1968’s incredible She-Devils on Wheels), juvenile delinquency (1968’s Just for the Hell of It), hicksploitation (1972’s Year of the Yahoo!) and even children’s entertainment (1967’s The Magic Land of Mother Goose). Several other lesser-known 60s features are now considered lost, although it’s too bad Godfather doesn’t make room for such extant obscurities as Miss Nymphet’s ZapIn (1970) and the great wife-swapping saga Suburban Roulette (1968), whose theme song promises “ringa-dingin’ with that swingin’ set,” while the trailer posits 1968 Illinois suburbia as “where the stakes are as high as the morality is low.” 'HQQLV +DUYH\ 2

=I@;8P
=<JK@M8C Outside Lands has stepped up its game in its fourth year. The mix of bands this time around is truly inspired â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if a bit pilfered from old lineups at other fests like Treasure Island. No matter, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s riding high in 2011. This was not always the case. Last year, the Golden Gate Park festival seemed lackluster in the music department; the lineup wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as solid as it had been previously, and it lacked that one giant-but-dependably-awesome act like Radiohead (or this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arcade Fire). In the process, it may have lost a festival-goer or two. It also went down to just two days in 2010 (it was three in 2008 and 2009), which Another Planet Entertainment vice president Allen Scott says was originally the plan. He later added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Last] year there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of touring headliners because of the recession. A lot of bands and artists decided to take last year off.â&#x20AC;? This year, however, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back to long-weekend status. Saturday is already sold out, unless you want to do it up big and invest in a three-day pass or VIP tickets. That leaves, as of press time, the option of going either Friday or Sunday. The highlights below are meant to help you more easily maneuver your way through the thick bustle of crowds and trees when you get out to those green fields. For the most part, I steered clear of headliners, since those are the artists who likely inspired your decision to attend in the first place. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how to get the most (audio) bang for your buck.
%LJ %RL Despite Big Boiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest for drug possession last weekend, Scott says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are expecting Big Boi to be performing at Outside Lands this Friday.â&#x20AC;? Chances are, you were not one of the lucky few who jumped on tickets to see Big Boi at the Independent earlier this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a venue far smaller than his usual digs. Needless to say, that show was way, way sold out. While the Outside Lands stage is far larger, his presence with silky-smooth vocals and casual flowing skills are big enough to dominate. -R\ )RUPLGDEOH The acclaimed Welsh trio has been lauded for ushering a return to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s-era pop and shoegaze. With driving guitar riffs and strong female vocals, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a definite glint of Breeders in there. Dave Grohl, a man well familiar with the grunge decade, chose the band to open for Foo Fighters later this year. 7RUR < 0RL South Carolina native Chaz Bundick, known as Toro Y Moi on stage, is one of those talented genre smashers. His sophomore album Underneath the Pine, which came out earlier this year, has elements of dance, funk, and dream pop; Bundick is said to be influenced by French house, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s R&B, and Stones Throw hip-hop. And you can throw a little Off the Wall-era Michael Jackson in there as well.

675).5 Portland, Ore.-based dance pop quartet STRFKR (pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;Starfuckerâ&#x20AC;?) injects emotion into live electronic dance music. Call it that now-retro genre electro pop, call it the LCD Soundsystem effect, call it whatever you wish: just dance.
JLE;8P -8 78= 62<<# %HLUXW Beirut doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play very often â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the last time it stopped in San Francisco was at the Treasure Island Festival in 2008 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but when it does, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imperative that you watch. The result is an inspired jumble of brass horns and ukulele, Balkan folk, and Eastern European-influenced torch songs. Band leader Zachary Condonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vocals soar live and he emotes convincingly at each stop. 'HDGPDX The tripped-out lights, lasers, and holograms of the show are
worth sticking around for regardless of sound. But Deadmau5, nestled in a lit-up diamond cube and wearing an oversize foam mouse head, does bring music as well; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s haunting yet danceable electronica with moving beats and breakdowns. W8QH <DU'V Colorful, paint-streaked Merrill Garbus (a.k.a. tUne-YarDs) could likely be dubbed acid queen of 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; minus any actual drugs.

And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen her weirdo video for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bizness,â&#x20AC;? you know sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a few unique ideas floating around.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m like: when did this festival relocate the bathrooms to the left of the Sunset Harmony Stage? The things we get excited over. Anyways, Outside Land producer Allen Scott of Another Planet Entertainment gave me (and now you!) some gems to hunt for and meditate on when the attention deficit takes over midJohn Fogerty. 0F/DUHQ 3DVV You know that elevated pine glade up the hill from the horse corrals? During Hardly Strictly Bluegrass its luxuriously empty shade it is the perfect anti-crowd. In previous years of Outside Lands itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been purposed as a VIP section â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but this year, says Scott â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a surreal little experience.â&#x20AC;? The once-mellow path
that runs along the ridge will open onto â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food Truck Forest,â&#x20AC;? a Mexican beer-and-burrito area dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mission,â&#x20AC;? and perhaps most excitingly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chocolands,â&#x20AC;? where licorice lamp posts and gummi bear lanterns designed by a guy who does work for Family Guy and Tim Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s films will hang over stands staffed by local chocolatiers.
6RPH QXPEHUV Outside Lands gives $3 million to the Recreation and Parks Department in exchange for using Speedway Meadows. The festival employs 2,500 people during the course of the weekend, including 500 security guards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some of them mounted on horses for added scariness for all those people who for sure are not sneaking into the festival. 97 percent of the festie workers are local hires. 7LJKWHQ LW XS I was a serious pain in the ass about asking how people sneak into the festival (er, completely in the spirit of learning about the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; obviously I advocate paying lots of money to Outside Lands). Scott, the intelligent festival spokesperson that he is, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give me anything juicy
except that â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beefing up one area of the park that has been an Achilles heel.â&#x20AC;? And that he thinks that with measures like double fence layers around the festival very few people make it in without paying, so there. %UXVK RII Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice a distinct lack of underbrush along the north end of the park area between the Twin Peaks and Panhandle stages. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a festival-driven pruning, Scott tells me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rather, Golden Gate Park arborists are attempting to return Speedway Meadows to its original design, which apparently involved a less bushy look.
.LWW\ FLW\ I asked Scott what the biggest risk is that Outside Lands poses to Golden Gate Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ecosystem. He may or may not have understood what I was asking because he answered: â&#x20AC;&#x153;feral cats.â&#x20AC;? Apparently the fest has a responsibility to feed the furry devils and mitigate disturbance to their habitat. New area suggestion for next year: Tunalands. 0DMRU ODVHUV Is the Polo Field feeling particularly level this year? According to Scott, the sense of equilibrium flooding your innermost soul during Phishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mega-set on Friday will be due in part to Rec and Parks having laser-graded the grassy expanse where the main stage resides. 2

Fear and longing 6R[JWMJ 3^Ub P[JYYUN\ `R]Q ]QN `NR[MWN\\ XO ]QN OJVRURJ[ RW 7KH )XWXUH By Kimberly Chun arts@sf bg.com =@CD Dreams and drawings, cats and fantasies, ambition and aimlessness, and the mild-mannered yet mortifying games people play, all wind their way into Miranda Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Future. The futureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scary place, as many of us fully realize, even if you hide from it well into your 30s, losing yourself in the everyday. But you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t duck Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection of moments, objects, and small gestures transformed into something strangely slanted and enchanted, both weird and terrifying, when viewed through Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking glass. With The Future, which evolved out of a performance titled Things We Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Understand and Definitely Are Not Going to Talk About, July explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there was a lot of stuff that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to talk about â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that I found really embarrassing. Why talk about [making art]? Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it a lot cooler just to make a movie that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that in it? Since obviously the great fear of someone in my position would be that you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to make something â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and what would happen then? But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also really interesting to me that you devote your life to doing this and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop being interesting, like, how ideas come and when they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;? At the moment July (2005â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Me and You and Everyone We Know) seems perfectly imperfectly in step with the world sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in: an opulently beige meeting room at the Four Seasons. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop studying her shocking pink lips and matching glittery collar, happily clashing with her camel sweater, as she averts those star-child, sky-blue peepers to stare intently at the pen in her hands. Despite seeming as dazzled by life as a child, she chooses her words scrupulously, as if her existence depended on it, and punctuates the end of almost every sentence with a gently-hurled exclamation point of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;yeah.â&#x20AC;? The careful consideration coloring her words and appearance obviously finds its way, stumbling and fumbling gracefully, into her films, performances, and short stories, as well as the assignments she assembled with Harrell Fletcher for the online art project Learning to Love You More. Care and commitment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to oneself and others â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are two vivid threads running through The Future. Cute couple Sophie (July) and Jason (Hamish Linklater) â&#x20AC;&#x201D;unsettling look-alikes with their curly crops â&#x20AC;&#x201D; appear at first to be sailing contently, aimlessly toward an undemanding unknown: Jason works from home as a customerservice operator, and Sophie attempts to herd kiddies as a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dance instructor. But enormous, frightening demands beckon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; namely the oncoming adoption of a special-needs feline named Paw-Paw (voiced by July as if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a traumatized, innocent child). Lickety-splitsville, they must be all they can be before Paw-Pawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival, so the pair quit their jobs as Sophie tries to set up a Julie
and Julia-style online stunt designed to make her a YouTube dance hit and Jason drifts into door-todoor environmental activist work that sends him into the orbits of those who answer the door. In the meantime, Sophie gets pulled into the suburban vortex of a random man (David Warshofsky) that Jason meets at Paw-Pawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelter. The weirdness of the familiar, and the kindness of strangers, become ways into fantasy and escape when the couple bumps up against the limits of their imagination. This ultra-low-key horror movie of the banal is obviously remote territory for July. The Future is her best film to date and finds her tumbling into a kind of magical realism or plastic fantastic, embodied by a talking cat that becomes the conscience of
into focus. Also being a woman in my mid-30s, yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;know, you have a special relationship to time suddenly, as far as the question of having children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so all those things were swirling.â&#x20AC;? Yet she claims she never fully realized sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be grappling with something as potentially horrifying as the future on film: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I thought I was making a movie about the future, I probably would have not made it â&#x20AC;&#x201D;yeah! I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really attack subjects like that. It has to be more mysterious than that to me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not that conscious when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m writing.â&#x20AC;? If we could all see into the future, with an oracleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specs in place, what would we dare to make it out? Peering into the future, as a riot grrrl follower in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s, I would never have imagined
Looking back at her riot grrrl days, Miranda July says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in a world, the film world, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so male-dominated. It seems like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, I really had no idea I was right!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed at all, and yeah, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of sad.â&#x20AC;? | G?FKF :FLIK<JP 88IFE 9<:BLD
the movie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see the cat as Sophie and Jasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unborn child and sometimes I would see it as oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own relationship to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the part of oneself thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always waiting for their parent, long past where that makes any sense at all, even for people whose parents are dead,â&#x20AC;? she explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You still, on some level, are waiting for them to come get you, and the death of that hope in a way is both really sad and also maybe the beginning of kind of growing up.â&#x20AC;? Certain events in Berkeley-bred Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life pointed toward the major turning points of The Future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got married at that time, and I think that makes me think a lot about the future â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and maybe the end of your life more?â&#x20AC;? she recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re committing to someone till the end, so it suddenly seems, at least on paper, that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know one person who will be there at the end â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there at the end of their life. That brought time
sitting across from July, telling her about my pilgrimage up to Yo-Yo a Go-Go in Olympia, Wash., to see her first full-fledged multimedia performance, Love Diamond. The past and future are still intertwined, much as the riot grrrl years continue to resonate with July: she plans to launch the Web archive of her Joanie4Jackie project, which collected womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short films via video chain letter and birthed a community of DIY female filmmakers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still have a lot of friends from that time, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all kind of old riot grrrls now!â&#x20AC;? she says with a little laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still great to see that there are things about it that did matter and were really formative, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all much better for having had each other and this sense of â&#x20AC;&#x201D; call it revolution or call it self-importance. Nonetheless, they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy things we were trying to do, creating a space to feel free and safe to make things in.â&#x20AC;? 2 7+( )8785( XYNW\ /[R RW +Jb *[NJ ]QNJ]N[\

The return of Erase Errata, right, reawakens our inner thrasher, while Bronzeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new album Copper gives us dreams of Nico. | 9IFEQ< G?FKF 9P PLBF @E8KJLB@
Picture yourself gay dancing By Andre Torrez arts@sfbg.com JFLE; KF JG8I< For some gays the definition of a good night out dancing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, or whatever else is making it in musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 40 these days. Instead, we go against the grain, defy the unwritten rules, and satiate our dance floor needs to more primal, aggressive tunes. Enter Erase Errata. Listening to the San Francisco rock trio recalls a time in my youth when I transitioned out of baggy JNCO cargo pants and tingly, mindnumbing pills into the stark contrast of a much grittier, more realistic yet still liquor-soaked world of sounds. Through them I was encouraged to picture myself alive and dancing. Though I was thousands of miles away from the creature they so vividly described in the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;The White Horse if Bucking,â&#x20AC;? I somehow knew that greener pastures lay ahead, bucking and all. Launched in Oakland in 1999, categorized as lesbian post-punk anthem-makers or no-wave revivalists, and responsible for some of the most contagious dance-rock albums (Other Animals from 2001 and 2003â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s At Crystal Palace), Erase Errata is back, sharing a bill with longtime friends, local trio Bronze, at the Fri/12 release show for Bronzeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first full-length, Copper (RVNG Intl. Records), coming out September 13. I recently sat with Erase Errataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jenny Hoyston and 38 J8E =I8E:@J:F 98P >L8I;@8E s J=9>%:FD s @E;<G<E;<EK# CF:8CCP$FNE<; s 8L>LJK (' $ (-# )'((
Bronzeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rob Spector at the bustling Duboce Park CafĂŠ, sipped tea at an outdoor tables. I imagined it must be a little weird for Hoyston, who just spent three years in Portland, Oregon living life as a full-time â&#x20AC;&#x153;upper-lower class accountant,â&#x20AC;? to return to music and live in a slightly different San Francisco. We touched on the recent changes the city has gone through since her absence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; local music institutions like KUSF and the Eagle Tavernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thursday Night Live are either struggling for existence or have disappeared altogether. However, they both agree that there are too many creative types in the Bay for the scene to be successfully shut down. They shared horror stories of Erase Errataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s otherwise triumphant reappearance at Public Works during San Francisco Pride, when New Orleans sissy bounce queen headliner Big Freedia was (not surprisingly) revealed to be a dressing-room diva who needed the backstage area cleared before entering. Even Hoyston got sissy bounced. Freedia then turned on the sound man, they said, nitpicking to the point where he was allegedly told to leave. The two witnesses could only cringe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what you sound like,â&#x20AC;? Spector said. Hoyston agreed that it was unfortunate to â&#x20AC;&#x153;flip-outâ&#x20AC;? on the sound guy. She should know, now that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running the sound board at El Rio, and on some nights playing the role of part-time DJ. When I asked if she had a secret-weapon jam in her arsenal that packs â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em on the
dance floor, she shook her head and referred to the type of aforementioned top 40 hits. I joked that her moniker should be DJ Malice, since she admits to doing this to sort of torture her audience. (Alas, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maliceâ&#x20AC;? was already taken by a stripper she recalls from her time in the Pacific Northwest.) For now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just have to look forward to thrashing about as Hoyston and her band mates entertain us with relentless bass lines, swarms of guitars, and lyrics that alternate between simplistic and complex, delivered with Hoystonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peculiar intonation. Speaking of intonation and vocal delivery, I pussy-footed around a bit when it came to addressing what I consider to be Spectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s androgynous voice. I told him that when I first heard Bronzeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Night In Mexicoâ&#x20AC;? his genderless voice entranced me. He said he gets a lot of comparisons to Nico. Bronzeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new album features that weird custom-built synthesizer that has caused a lot of fascination at live performances. As a bonus, the designers of the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleeve actually incorporate a thin strip of copper that can be bent in the shape of a ring and worn. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty slick for rough and charming sounds, a bangle for a future recovered. 2 %521=( ` .[J\N .[[J]J 7J]^[N 5X]X +JUU /[R " Y V .U ;RX ! 6R\\RXW </ ``` NU[RX\O LXV

Black secret technology comes, along with fantastic unsung hero of the early years Claude Young who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to scratch things up a little. Just announced? Two of technoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Big Three, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson (who along with Juan Atkins invented and popularized the whole damn thing) performing together in November in their Hi Tek Soul guise. One of the real joys of this latest Detroit resurgence, and one it would be most painful to lose: the reclamation of techno as a black musical form, an poetic permutation of soul, rejiggered by freaky sci-fi nerds with one ear attuned to space-jazz, another to krautrock and synthpop, and a third to down-and-dirty electrofunk. Or, as Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous formulation has it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a complete mistake ... like George Clinton and Kraftwerk caught in an elevator, with only a sequencer to keep them company.â&#x20AC;? As commercial techno claims larger and larger arenas and the Motor City slips further into media clichĂŠ, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect time to gather back at the roots.

JLG<I <>F Detroit. Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard of it? Maybe someone forwarded you a link to a fascinating ruin porn slideshow of its abandoned skyscrapers and crumbled mansions. Or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve clicked on one of the innumerable feature stories about young, homesteading pioneers plowing new fields among the wind-blasted industrial decay. Maybe your grandfather has shook his head at the glory that used to be the Big Three, a multi-billion dollar auto industry now propped up by government funds. Or perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve appeared in a sequined gown and endless gloves in one of your black-andwhite snooze-button dreams, backed by Mary and Flo, cooing out â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where Did Our Love Go?â&#x20AC;? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been anywhere near a good club in the past year, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely heard Detroit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one thing those strangely same-y media narratives always seem to omit is the other huge industry that Detroit has spawned, namely techno. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine, real techno should always fly beneath the mainstream eye, a Cybertronic bird with tingling feathers and a killer beak-beak-beak. Yet even in the underground Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s techno legacy was threatened with obliteration: the explosion of bedroom producers who came of age during the minimal era of the late 2000s looked to Berlin for inspiration, rather than the Midwest. The wave of original Detroit innovators had become diffuse: you could sense a struggle for
a Grand Unified Theory of Detroit Techno Now to present to newcomers who, after all, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly consult a textbook on such things. To them, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Detroitâ&#x20AC;? was more of an archetypal ideal than an actual sound. And there was only so much jawing on about the good old days us dance floor seniors could do without being put out to the House Nation pasture. (There are Smart Drinks, nappy dreads, hoop earrings, Maurice Malone overalls, and a lot more bass there.) Berlin has every right to claim the techno megalopolis crown â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done more as a civic entity to promote the music than Detroit could afford â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, hearteningly, it takes pains to venerate its Motor City forebear. No coincidence that one of Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freshest acts is Motor City Drum Ensemble or that the brilliant Berlin club Tresor greets entrants with a giant â&#x20AC;&#x153;Detroitâ&#x20AC;? sign. (And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as if Detroit went away â&#x20AC;&#x201D; minimal was balanced out by the disco-funk re-edit scene, pioneered by Detroit techno heroes Moodymann and Theo Parrish.) Luckily, the smart kids will always be curious, and Detroit has been thrust back into the spotlight by a yearning for history, depth, basics in the global techno scene. A corresponding glut is now upon us of touring DJs from the D to satisfy that need. In the past month alone San Francisco has seen appearances by Kevin Saunderson, Mike Huckaby, MK, Scottie Deep, Stacy Pullen and honorary Detroiter Richie Hawtin. Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, and Moodymann were here last year. And, this weekend, Parrish himself

The Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts announces a survey exhibition of the works of Carlos Villa, circa 19702011. Influenced by investigations of his own Filipino heritage and the intricacies of immigrant identities and experiences, Villaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work has consistently challenged the bounds of the multicultural, while resisting expectations that it remain there. Curated by Maurizzio Pineda.
