MEMORIES OF RUTH SO MANY OF US STAND ON HER SHOULDERS

R

uth Bader Ginsburg was leading the ACLU Women’s Rights Project as a lawyer while I was an undergrad majoring in theater, with a minor in “What the heck should I do with my life?” I wish I had known about her then, as it was 1970, I was 17 and attending Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Montana.

As I bounded up the Student Union building stairs, a boy in a cowboy hat and boots wolf-whistled at me. I whistled back. I had read Robin Morgan’s “Sisterhood is Powerful” when I was 14 and knew that I wasn’t OK with the whistle. I hadn’t planned what I would say beyond my ear-shattering whistle, so I walked over to him.

I sputtered, “That’s not cool.”

He laughed, “Why not? You’re good looking.”

“I don’t care. I’m not livestock you’re judging… or calling. We used to whistle for our horses to come in for their dinner...” I retorted.

“You don’t have to be such a bitch.”

That’s where I froze. Why was I a bitch because he had bad manners? I had managed to get through life without whistling at another person, ever.

Seizing the moment, he continued. “You’ll never get a husband with that kind of attitude.”

“I’m going to be a lawyer, so I won’t need a husband for his money!” I shoot back.

He starts guffawing, and—I kid you not—takes his hat off and slaps it on his thigh. “Girls can’t be lawyers!”

“Yes, they can.”

“No, they can’t. They ain’t smart or tough enough.”

“Yes, they are.”

“If you’re so smart, name one girl lawyer…”

I froze a second time. I could not think of one female lawyer— not one.

The previous year, my high school counselor had me told me to forget my law school dream. He said, “Even if you could get in, you’d be taking the place of a man who needs to go to law school.

You’re just going to fritter your career away when you get married and have kids.”

Do not ever tell me I can’t do something. Later, I would indeed pass the California bar and become a lawyer, albeit a nonpracticing one as I created another career in activism, arts and media.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch with the cowboy, I said something super-clever like, “I’ll show you,” and stomped off.

CARTOON

If only I had known about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was hidden in plain sight. I suppose if I’d subscribed to the New York Times then, I might have had an expanded view of women in the law. Maybe.

The accomplishments of women have been notoriously underreported over the decades. Meanwhile, I finally became aware of RBG after her appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1993.

I, along with many of my family members and dear friends, am grieving the terrible loss of Justice Ginsburg. We again watched the CNN documentary “RBG” on the night of her death. Her tenderness and her almost excruciating shyness are so profoundly moving to me. She broke every stereotype the mainstream media had a large hand in creating for feminists: man-hating, witchy, obviously couldn’t “get” a man, not very smart, brash, ugly, blah, blah, blah. Stereotypes we still live with to this day.

Undercutting so many of our dreams of equality were the constant, foul, sabotaging actions of men who hated us for leaving our small domestic spheres to participate in a “man’s world.”

(I suspect these same men despised us in our domestic spheres, too). Speaking of hate, I just got an email from a “fan” in response to my recent Pasadena Weekly column on not voting for Trump: “Gaston LeDoux” writes: “You filthy swine. I could give you 100 Trump administration accomplishments, and your useless ass would still not vote for him.” It turns out the name and email address are dummies, just like the sender. Can you imagine the vitriol thrown at RBG her entire life?

Learning what RBG went through, the indignities, the invisibility, the rejection, is a validation of so many of our efforts to excel when clearly the cards have been stacked against us. Women—or anyone who identifies as such—and minorities have gambled on the hope of meritocracy to pursue the American Dream. At the same time, the dealers snickered, hid cards, and used loaded dice.

RBG, thank you for your sweet and generous heart; for all you’ve done for the people who have been cheated, time and time again. You are, and always will be, a beacon of quiet love and strength. Rest in power, persistence, and peace. And also, thanks on behalf of the young women lawyers for whom you are a saint.

How I could have benefitted from your wisdom—even existence—when I was their age… n This article is an updated excerpt from Snortland’s forthcoming book, “Biting the Hands That Squeeze Us.” Contact her at ellen@beautybitesbeast.com 09.24.20 | PASADENA WEEKLY 3

FINDING THE MEANING OF LIFE

BY MEISAM ZAMANABADI

THE WORLD IS WATCHING YOU WHY SHOULD WE IGNORE THE ‘STOP READING THE NEWS’ IDEA?

“N

ews is bad for your health. It leads to fear and aggression and hinders your creativity and ability to think deeply. The solution? Stop consuming it altogether.”

Rolf Dobelli, in his latest book, “Stop Reading the News,” advises us all and claims that: “News is to the mind what sugar is to the body. News is easy to digest. The media feeds us small bites of trivial matter, tidbits that don’t really concern our lives and don’t require thinking. That’s why we experience almost no saturation. Unlike reading books and long magazine articles (which do require thinking), we can swallow limitless quantities of news flashes, which are bright-colored candies for the mind.”

Typically, as a journalist, I should refrain from repeating his idea, and Pasadena Weekly also shouldn’t have published this idea because they targeted our profession and described my colleagues and me as people who have ruined your life.

But I must admit that parts of his book cannot be ignored, mainly, when he refers to the nostalgic family breakfasts of the 1970s, which was marked by excessive enthusiasm for catching up with the news by reading newspapers.

He speaks about the morning newspaper, mid-days radio news, and the nightly television news program. Interestingly, his story about Swiss 40 years ago is very similar to my experience in the heart of the Middle East. Growing up in an Iranian family in one of Tehran’s middle-class neighborhoods, where the newspaper was part of our daily shopping cart, and listening to the 2 o’clock radio news and watching the 9 o’clock news on TV was our most important habit, I feel we are much more similar than we are different. Probably you too.

It does not matter if you spent that time in the United States, China, Korea or South Africa. Our thirst for awareness and technological limitations made us drink every bit of info with craving, unlike today when it is inevitable.

Did you notice the difference in the word choice? My disagreement with Rolf begins when he makes no sharp distinction between “news” and “awareness.”

He generalizes about the news, everything that he sees on TV, hears on the radio, reads in the newspapers, and receives moment by moment via his laptop and smartphone. According to his definition, there is no difference between the story of a stuck kitten on a tree and what happens in Minneapolis; or the fact that no one bats an eye at a dispute between a coach and a soccer player. Should one ignore the news of massive wildfires in California?

This is where the difference between news and awareness comes into play.

People of that generation followed the news because they were eager for awareness, and the same goes for people before that generation, and comparably for people today. In other words, the goal is not to get the news. The goal is the awareness that results from being exposed to the news, and this is where the theory of “Stop Reading the News” fails. Do you think anyone can manufacture a product while ignoring the need for raw materials?

Let me share my personal experience, not as a journalist, but as a professional news follower. Usually, I follow the news as much as I can. Following the news does not happen in my free time, but I spend the best hours on it. I am sure that my interest in the news has not hindered my creativity, has not poisoned my mind and has not led me astray.

I follow the news because I am looking for awareness, and this awareness has wholly affected the quality of my life. I also have experienced moments of my life in which I believe that the importance of gaining this awareness is multiplied, and these days we are at one of those key moments. We are on the verge of a great event that affects our destiny, the fate of our family and friends, society and even the whole world; and the awareness regarding this is more important than ever.

Let’s not stop reading the news. Let’s not forget critical thinking after reading the news. Let’s do whatever it takes in pursuit of awareness, and let’s not forget the fact that your decision-making procedure won’t be limited to Pasadena and the United States; it can potentially make the whole world a better place to live in. n Meisam Zamanabadi is an Iranian journalist and TV host. He graduated from the University of Tehran in media management and also is a Ph.D. student in media psychology in United States.

FORMER JOURNALIST PENS HIS FIRST NOVEL, ‘CITY OF ANGLES’

BY ELSA HORTAREAS

W

hen William Loving wrote his first novel, “City of Angles,” he wanted to focus on something meaningful to him: the importance of community and recovering from tragedy.

Due out September 15, “City of Angles” follows character Homer Virgil Innes after he loses his job as a journalist after the 2008 recession. The story parallels Loving’s life as the recession claimed his job at the LA Times.

“I based his situation kind of on mine, but everything after [the beginning] is made up,” said Loving, a Pasadena resident.

In the book, Innes faces multiple tragedies, including a fire and the disappearance of his son, Caleb. His trek to find him takes him around Southern California, most notably to Los Angeles.

Jobless and without hope, Innes finds himself homeless for a good portion of the book. His search stalls when a mysterious art collector takes him in.

“The original idea for the novel actually came from seeing homeless people on the streets of Pasadena,” Loving said.

Loving was not expecting his book to hit the public during a pandemic. He spent a year writing it and three years trying to get it published. Heliotrope Books bought the book last December.

Loving has wanted to be a novelist since he was 18, following “an unusual path to a first novel.” He entered Kenyon College to study English but found his “true calling” in journalism.

After the LA Times, Loving landed a corporate gig. However, his original dream of being an author haunted him.

Loving did not just write the book to fulfill his dream.

“I think the book really exists in several different levels,” Loving says. “For me the importance [of the book] is finding meaning in your life by serving others.”

In the book, Innes does find a new focus after suffering loss, by helping others who are in a similar situation as him.

“He has to learn the lesson of other people helping him,” Loving said.

“Community and friendship and mutual support with other people is the most important thing. There are plenty of examples in my life where, maybe, I was stubborn and egocentric and had to reach out to other people and consider the effect of my actions on other people.”

His love of novels and classic works shines through in the book. “City of Angles” is inspired by Roman poet Virgil’s famous piece “The Aeneid,” with the main character searching for new meaning in life after tragic loss.

On page 81, he wrote, “He thought again of Orwell, who had said poverty ‘annihilates the future,’ focusing the mind on the present moment, the next meal, eliminating the ability to plan rationally for the future. He understood that now.” n

HOTEL ALEXANDRIA: HISTORY, HAUNTINGS AND FILM STARS

BY KAMALA KIRK

A

Photos courtesy Craig Owens

t the beginning of the 20th century, Hotel Alexandria was the first luxury hotel in Downtown Los Angeles.

It cost $2 million to build and was the product of Albert C. Bilicke and Robert Alfred Rowan, two Pasadena businessmen who rented plots of land along Spring and Fifth streets so they could build a world-class hotel.

Hotel Alexandria was named after John Alexander, the man who owned the parcel of land at the corner of Spring and Fifth that Bilicke and Rowan had leased.

Construction on the eight-story, beaux art hotel began in 1905, and it was designed

by Los Angeles architect John Parkinson’s firm, Parkinson & Bergstrom. On February 10, 1906, Hotel Alexandria opened and was an instant success.

“The Alexandria was LA’s equivalent to San Diego County’s Hotel del Coronado,” said Craig Owens, a historian, author and photographer who runs the popular blog Bizarre Los Angeles, which is dedicated to LA’s forgotten history and Old Hollywood.

“Not only was it touted as being fireproof, but it also became LA’s first fivestar hotel and was touted as a ‘gemstone set in tile, steel and marble.’ It featured a massive lobby with tall pillars made of Egyptian marble, mosaic tile floors and stained-glass skylights.”

The hotel was frequently sold out and became a popular place where wealthy people would stay when they were visiting LA from around the country. According to Owens, newspaper reporters would often stake out in the lobby, waiting to catch a glimpse of one of the hotel’s famous guests. Hotel Alexandria ended up being such a success that Bilicke and Rowan eventually leased additional plots to expand it.

“They also successfully lobbied the city of LA to raise its height restrictions on buildings from eight stories to 12,” Owens shared. “The owners then built a taller annex that connected to the original building. This newer addition featured a second-floor ballroom and the Franco-Italian Dining Salon, known today as the Palm Court. The new annex opened in 1911, just in time for a presidential visit by William Howard Taft, who spoke at a private dinner there.”

Attracting the famous A new chapter in the hotel’s history began in the winter of 1910, when film pioneers D.W. Griffith, Mary Pickford and Mack Sennett of New Jersey’s Biograph Company checked in for several months while shooting films in Southern California. It wasn’t long before other film directors and producers from the East Coast followed suit, and film stars that included the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Rudolph Valentino and others frequently frolicked in the hotel.

“By the late 1910s, the Alexandria had grown from being the West Coast film colony’s Plymouth Rock to its Rome,” Owens said. “D.W. Griffith lived in the Presidential Suite, and future ‘Ben-Hur’ star Ramon Novarro worked as a singing waiter. Elevator operators occasionally pitched and sold movie ideas to producers, and the lobby became so crowded with aspiring filmmakers and stars trying to sell blockbuster movie projects that one of the hotel’s large Persian carpets became known as the ‘Million Dollar Rug.’” Hotel Alexandria also became an important social hub for professional boxers and athletes, with many heavyweight champions, such as Jim Jeffries and Jack Dempsey, frequenting the hotel to socialize and rub elbows with the movie crowd.

Its importance as LA’s film capital climaxed in 1920 when Chaplin, Pickford, Griffith, Douglas Fairbanks and William S. Hart gathered inside the Palm Court to announce they were forming United Artists.

After the hotel’s original owners passed away, by 1919 the John Strauss Company in Chicago took over and financed its sister property, The Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire Boulevard, which opened on January 1, 1921. By this time, many of the film-industry guests who used to frequent Hotel Alexandria had moved to Hollywood and Beverly Hills, and the hotel entered a slow decline through the 1920s. The Millennium Biltmore Hotel opened in 1923 and outshined Hotel Alexandria with its size and opulence, replacing it as DTLA’s most luxurious hotel.

Shortly before the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Strauss Company sold Hotel Alexandria, which eventually closed in 1932. After the hotel went bankrupt, ownership reverted back to the original landowners, who owned parts of the

building. All but one sold their section of the hotel in 1937 to Phil Goldstone, a retired silent movie producer who dreamed of restoring Hotel Alexandria to its former glory, although his vision never materialized. Following the end of World War II, Goldstone sold the hotel, then in 1954 the new owners gave the lobby a midcentury modern makeover, while the shopping level, basements and electric plants underneath the lobby were converted into underground parking garages.

“In 1958, boxing promoter George Parnassus leased the Palm Court and secondfloor ballroom,” Owens said. “He then constructed boxing rings inside both rooms and charged people to watch his fighters train. At first, the novelty of having boxing rings inside the Alexandria resonated with boxing fans and reporters. By the mid1960s, the novelty had worn off.”

S. Jon Kreedman purchased Hotel Alexandria in the 1960s and refurbished the property, giving it a Victorian theme and naming several suites in honor of well-known silent film legends, including Chaplin and Valentino. The second-floor ballroom is named after King Edward, although he never set foot in the hotel.

“Those in charge of the Alexandria’s Victorian makeover chose a suite on the top floor of the Annex to honor Valentino’s memory,” Owens explained. “They added gold and red wallpaper to the suite, dark red carpeting, mounted a photo of Valentino to the wall, and furnished it with Victorian Revival furniture.”

After arriving to Los Angeles in 1917, Valentino stayed at Hotel Alexandria for two weeks while he was an unemployed actor. His friend and fellow actor Norman Kerry, who later starred in ‘The Phantom of the Opera,’ invited Valentino to stay with him in his suite at the hotel. During that time, Kerry introduced Valentino to film-industry people who frequented the hotel.

According to Owens, the Valentino Suite is haunted. While working on a photo shoot for his 2017 book, “Haunted by History Vol. 1: Separating the Facts and Legends of Eight Historical Hotels and Inns in Southern California,” Owens visited Hotel Alexandria, where he shot restaged photos of various ghost sightings, as well as a fistfight that occurred between Chaplin and MGM mogul Louis B. Mayer in the lobby.

“On the night of my first photo shoot there, a door to the bathroom slammed shut by itself with such force that it rattled all of the glass inside the suite,” Owens said.

“We all knew it wasn’t the wind that caused the door to slam. Earlier that same day, we had tried closing that same bathroom door. It wouldn’t budge because of the warped tiles on the bathroom floor. Not wanting to break anything, we left it open and decided to shoot around it. There’s no logical excuse for it—seven of us heard it and we all jumped out of our skins.”

Casting a shadow Despite Hotel Alexandria’s glamorous past, the hotel also has its share of darker stories, which include strange deaths and suicides. Some people have reported seeing a ghostly Edwardian woman in black wandering the hallways of the hotel, in addition to phantom waiters from the 1910s in the Palm Court area, ghostly dancers in the second-floor ballroom, and a female child ghost. Folks living in the hotel’s penthouse have reported seeing a dapper man dressed in 1920s clothing reading a newspaper while sitting at a table, while others claim to have seen occasional shadow figures in the parking garage.

“When ‘American Horror Story: Hotel’ came out, people thought that the show’s fictional Hotel Cortez was patterned after the Cecil Hotel in DTLA,” Owens said. “That is only partially true. The season’s storyline also incorporated the Alexandria’s ghost legends as well. For instance, the sealed-off hotel wing and subsequent Valentino vampire subplot is all based on the Alexandria. Most people don’t know that—a few fans of A postcard image of Hotel Alexandria, which opened in 1906 as DTLA’s first luxury hotel. the show, however, figured it out after reading my book.”

When Kreedman sold Hotel Alexandra, it eventually became a low-income housing building in the early 1980s. It changed ownership several more times over the years, then in 2014 it was purchased by developer Izak Shomof, who restored portions of the existing lobby, as well as the Palm Court and second-floor ballroom. These areas are now popular wedding and party venues known as the Alexandria Ballrooms, and in 2019, the 1900s-themed Parisian bar and restaurant The Wolves DTLA opened in the building.

After the release of Owens’ book, he began to receive requests for tours at some of the locations he wrote about, including the Alexandria Ballrooms. He approached the owners and received permission to lead a 90-minute tour there, which sold out immediately. The pandemic occurred shortly after, although Owens is looking forward to offering more tours of in the future.

“We do have plans to resume tours at some time,” he said. “People seem to love connecting with the historic vibe of the building. Plus, the stories are oftentimes surprising since most of us have been given misinformation about the hotel and its history for years.”

COMING TOGETHER FACEBOOK HOPES TO UNITE COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH NEW PLATFORM

BY MATTHEW RODRIGUEZ

F

acebook is hoping to connect students stuck in their homes while attending college with its new social media platform, Facebook Campus. “(Facebook Campus) is a college-only space designed to help students connect with their classmates and their school community all in one place, even when they can’t be together,” said product manager Charmaine Hung. “We do think that campus is more relevant than ever with COVID-19. We see many students not returning to campus and classes are now all happening remote and online.”

Facebook Campus hopes to reconnect students to their college clubs and friends through their pilot program. The program began in mid-September in 30 schools across the country, including the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

“We do know that university experiences are quite different, depending on what school you go to,” Hung said. “We really wanted to make sure we build the product that fits the needs of everyone.”

To do so, Facebook looked into different criteria to create a good sample size.

“Some of the things we took into account when deciding on these 30 schools were things like geographic diversity, a diverse student population, a mix of small and large undergrad bodies, and some schools that are specialized in different areas, for example, liberal arts schools,” Hung said.

Made with the help of college students, Campus will function as a separate, dedicated space within the larger Facebook platform, allowing only users with a “.edu” email to join.

“As we were building this, we had what we like to call a ‘student council,’” Hung said. “We were getting their feedback along the way.”

Once users join, they will verify their email address and create their campus profile.

“We realized that having some verification that you belong to that school to participate in Campus was really important,” Hung said. “Once you get in, you’ll be able to create groups and events that are all bounded and specific to your school… It’s not a completely different identity that you can take, but it is basically a different network of people.”

Additionally, users will have access to Facebook’s campus directory which will allow them to search for others using graduation year, specific classes, majors or their dorms. According to Hung, because Campus is separate from the larger Facebook platform, this specific information will only be shown on users’ Campus profile, not their main profile.

The final feature of Facebook Campus is a campus chat room feature where students can pick and choose which rooms to join, similar to the functioning “Groups” feature in the larger platform.

“Students can create chatrooms for their dorm, club, classes and more,” Hung said. “Campus chat rooms don’t actually require you to choose and invite people like group chats.

Instead, once you create the chatroom, people in that specific group can just pick and choose ones they want to pop into.”

Facebook hopes that their new platform will allow students to continue to connect and interact with one another even when they are away from campus.

“When I was in college the best thing for being on campus and meeting new people all in one place, and we really hope that this is something that can really help students during this time,” Hung said. n

PEDESTRIAN KILLED IN THREE-CAR CRASH

man in his late 60s was killed after a three-car traffic collision near the intersection of Brand Boulevard and Maple Street in Glendale at 8 p.m. September 17.

The man, who has not been identified, was struck by the collision and was on the ground, unresponsive, when police arrived. Officers immediately began CPR and transported him to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Based on the initial investigation, it appeared two vehicles were traveling side by side northbound on Brand Boulevard at a high rate of speed when one of the vehicles, being driven by 32-year-old Akop Daniyelyan of Los Angeles, attempted to pass a slower-moving vehicle in front of him. As Daniyelyan was doing this, he struck the other vehicle that was traveling at a high rate of speed next to him, being driven by 27-yearold Alejandro Garcia of Los Angeles. After this collision, both vehicles lost control colliding into an unoccupied parked truck, a tree and a pedestrian.

Both drivers exited their vehicles and an altercation ensued during which Daniyelyan allegedly punched Garcia in the face.

After evaluating both drivers, it was determined that Daniyelyan was driving under the influence at the time of the collision. Daniyelyan was subsequently arrested and booked for vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence— causing bodily injury and reckless driving—causing bodily injury. Garcia was arrested and booked for vehicular manslaughter and reckless driving- causing bodily injury.

There are no outstanding suspects and the investigation is ongoing. n

or anyone who has adopted the keto lifestyle—a diet bereft of carbohydrates—bakeries are likely not on your usual local circuit.

Such a lifestyle, particularly when enforced by a wary and watchful partner, will result in weight loss and joy.

Such was the case in my home, where dreams of pastry, pasta, pizza and potatoes have long perished. It wasn’t until the advent of the pandemic lockdown, that I threw off my keto chains and allowed myself to rediscover the pleasure of good bread.

Any true bread lover in the neighborhood will eventually end up at Seed Bakery. While I had been aware of its local reputation for some time, my keto-induced fog rendered it all but invisible. As my pandemic bread jones mounted, I noticed the line of folks snaking around the corner of Mentor and Washington Boulevard to order at Seed’s front door. Soon enough, I joined the line myself.

“The bread here is the best I’ve ever had anywhere,” said Jon Jory, a local fanatic just ahead of me in line.

I approach the smiling Dierdre Kane at the front door and impulsively order my namesake loaf—a sourdough “Rustic Batard”—and run home to rip into it. The crust is thick, crisp and taps soundly. The crumb has a pleasing density and chew. The flavor is deep. This is real bread.

I’m coming back.

“Let it be what it is…” That would be Joseph Abrakjian, the owner, miller, master baker and philosopher at Seed. Miller? Yes, the not-so-secret ingredient in the bread here is the flour, which is stone ground on premises.

Does one really need any more information? As he explains at our initial meeting, “It’s a from-scratch kitchen. We have nothing from a can.”

Abrakjian and his wife, Pam Watanabe, opened Seed Bakery in 2015, at the culmination of several years of research and development. However, before that came 10 years as a chef and restaurateur, primarily at his popular Cali-French bistro Roma Via Paris near Universal City.

Ultimately, “I took a little break. I wasn’t going to go back into the restaurant business. I started to bake bread at home and that triggered a passion in me. I was seeking flavors. So, the next evolution was sourdough for me and after sourdough was whole grains.”

The search for flavors and bread mastery took him to northern Vermont for nearly two years, where he studied and worked with master French baker Girard Ruebeaux.

A native of Lebanon, Abrakjian moved to Pasadena with his parents, when he was 14 years old and graduated from Marshall High School. After his sabbatical in Vermont, he returned to Pasadena to open Seed, where he further benefited from the urban flour mill, Grist & Toll, run by Nan Kohler, with whom he collaborated before installing his own mill at the bakery.

Yes, there’s an artisanal flour mill on South Arroyo Parkway. Who knew?

Abrakjian sources his grain from a variety of farms in northern California and cites the work and influence of whole grain baking guru Dave Miller of Chico.

“He’s like the granddaddy of the bakers,” he said. “He’s a big influence on my baking career as well. I learned a lot (about) the milling from him.”

Artisanal whole grain milling retains essential fiber and nutrients and eschews the use of any additives, including gluten which is common in large-scale commercial baking.

“It is fresher. The grains do last longer than flour. Plus, when you mill your own flour, you’re milling the whole kernel intact,” he said.

“You have a lot more control over the nutrients that the grain actually provides and there’s something to be said about working with freshly milled flour, stone-ground versus roller-milled flour.”

The proof is in the daily selection of fresh loaves available for sale at the front door.

The choices can vary from day to day and the daily inventory inevitably 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 09.24.20

dwindles by mid-afternoon. These include a variety of sourdough preps, including olive, cranberry rye, walnut, buckwheat and kamut, all $7. White flour baguettes ($4), brioche buns and loaves ($2 and $12) and ciabatta rolls ($6) are also regularly offered on the daily bread menu, posted at the front door. The loaves stored in their paper bag and wrapped in plastic last up to five days on the counter and they also freeze well. (Off-menu pro tip for the home baker: Sourdough starter from Seed’s mothership can be had for $15.)

Bread? Yes, possibly the best anywhere. Find it right here. But wait, there’s more!

An array of baked goods and pastries, both sweet and savory are displayed in the front window. These can include everything from pecan pie muffins ($5) and guava cream cheese tarts ($5) to savory empanadas ($6) and quiche with seasonal vegetables ($9 per slice or $10.50 with salad).

Breakfast? Lunch? Although these entrees can’t be enjoyed on the lovely back patio, as yet, the menu items are well worth exploring regardless. The results of the same care, attention and focus that produce the spectacular bread can be found in the prepared food here as well.

Breakfast stand-outs include a sautéed lentil and kale bowl served with a fried egg and zaatar ($11), house-made granola served with seasonal fruit, yogurt, honey and almonds ($9) and a “scramble” with housemade chorizo served as an open-face sandwich with gouda, pico de gallo and cilantro ($12.50).

Lunch entrees include fresh ratatouille ($12) and roasted pumpkin curry ($12.50) and 10 sandwich combinations all served with market-fresh salads. The pulled pork ($15)—sourced from Nieman Ranch—quickly won me over. My new best friend in line, Mr. Jory strongly advocated for the salmon gravlax ($15) and tarragon chicken salad ($14). Vegan sandwich options include eggplant ($13) served grilled with spiced pomegranate and walnut relish as well as “grilled cauliflower steak” ($13) with pistachio pesto and pumpkin seeds.

The portions are generous, and the salads are super fresh. Seed Bakery also maintains a weekly presence at the South Pasadena Farmers Market (4 to 8 p.m. Thursdays) and most all of the produce used at the bakery comes straight from the market.

“The bread has been carrying us.” Seed Bakery has remained open throughout the pandemic lockdown and Abrakjian has maintained his staff of 10 without layoffs or furloughs. Musing on his process, “Every bake is different. It’s never the same bake. We’re always on top of it to make it better.”

The food is good here.

Come for the bread.

Pandemic Pizzas: Pitfire Artisan Pizza

BY ANDREW CHECCHIA

A

s the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, restaurants have struggled to find ways to safely reintroduce in-person dining experiences. Fortunately, with California’s current set of regulations and Pasadena’s commitment to public health, outdoor dining has become a reasonable way to get out of the house (fully masked of course) for something other than a “home-cooked meal.”

The local chain Pitfire Artisan Pizza recently reopened its patio at the Pasadena location for distanced, outdoor dining.

Walking in, the place was bustling with to-go orders. Bags for delivery waited on stools outside the deep red centerpiece pizza oven—an impressive hearth that felt empty without chatting customers sitting at its surrounding wooden countertop.

But Pitfire’s atmosphere immediately picked up. After ordering from a digital menu, guests sit in the full-service patio area. The small space certainly felt different than the restaurant’s carefully designed modern-butwelcoming interior, but the large glass windows let out enough light to make the dark Friday night feel normal enough for a good meal. It was even full of locals, with two nearby tables striking up conversation over a particularly friendly dog. The restaurant felt as safely close to an old “normal” as possible given the circumstances, a bode of confidence for the months to come.

“Our guests appreciate that we’ve been doing this for a long time,” said Jeff Goodman, the CEO of Gonzo Food, Pitfire’s parent corporation.

“However, much of what we do is exceptionally well suited for how people are dining today.”

After ordering in the “edgy and comfortable” interior space, we sat outside to share the house salad ($11.50) and two 11’’ pizzas. Zoe’s pepperoni ($12.50), an artisan spin on the reliable classic, used healthy slices of fresh mozzarella to lend the pizza a quality classiness. But it still more

than satisfied our cravings for a simple slice, and with an added dose of red pepper flakes, it proved Pitfire’s pie-making chops—even down to the perfectly crispy crust.

Our other selection, the field mushroom ($12), was a thyme-seasoned white pizza topped with cremini and enoki mushrooms. Its lighter flavor balanced the tomato sauce-heavy pepperoni, but a thick layer of grease did distract from the pizza’s fresh flavorful mushrooms. The greasiness also proved too much for reheated leftovers, so if you’re a big mushroom fan make sure to finish this one in the store.

With their open patio and fully stocked bar, Pitfire is making the most of a bad situation. The outdoor space features full-service staffing, which paired with the distanced register ordering makes for a safe and personable experience.

Since shifting to its current artisan focus in 2003, the restaurant chain has seen serious success even as it overcame tough challenges. The pandemic, though much wider reaching, is no different than any other hurdle.

“Pitfire has been fortunate but many restaurants are facing an existential crisis and need our support,” Goodman said of the universally devastating circumstances for the restaurant ecosystem.

“We have worked hard to stay current with changing health and safety directives while maintaining great quality food and service. We have adapted our menus to offer the things our guests need or are looking for.”

Now may be the best time to safely search for neighborhood gems as restaurants slip further into the throes of the looming economic crisis.

Everyone has faced some kind of challenge throughout the lingering spread of COVID-19, but with appropriate measures and considerate health practices, communities can now start to see the importance of getting through these tough times together, one pizza and one meal at a time.

•INTO THE NIGHT•

BY BLISS BOWEN

Working Toward a Better World A

s an expression of performance poetry, spoken word forms a singular link between poetry and theatre. So it is fitting that spoken-word artist Javon Johnson’s one-man show “Still.” is helping launch Pasadena Playhouse’s PlayhouseLive, a streaming platform.

The platform is a hybridized format of musical revues, new works, unproduced works in development, behind-the-scenes explorations, puppetry, celebrity interviews and educational offerings that was formed in response to restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Commissioned by Pasadena Playhouse, “Still.” addresses “the complexities of the Black experience” and begins streaming Wednesday, September 30.

Johnson, a Los Angeles native who is an assistant professor and director of African American and African diaspora studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, calls Da Poetry Lounge at Greenway Court Theatre in Fairfax High School his poetry home “when the world is not in isolation.” “Still.” is his “first professionally produced” theatrical production and was created in response to George Floyd’s murder and the transformation of the national conversation and worldview. But there’s been no shortage of inspiration over recent decades; many pieces in “Still.” are “older poems that fit this moment,” according to Johnson. Which speaks directly to the show’s title.

“While the discussion of racism, the experience of seeing it on TV is new for a lot of people, for many Black people this is everyday life,” Johnson said during a phone interview last Friday. “There’s a poem in there that has gone viral already called ‘Cuz He’s Black.’ It takes its title from a Ntozake Shange poem about the Atlanta murders in the 1980s called ‘Abt Atlanta.’ I was watching an interview of Shange’s, and she said, ‘I cried the entire time writing that poem, because I had to imagine what would it be like being a Black mother at a time like that.’ And I thought to myself while writing this poem, ‘Isn’t that what it’s like to be a Black mother, period? At a time like that, at a time like this, in a space like that and also in a space like this?’ So I took a line from that — ‘Cuz he’s Black & poor/ he’s disappeared/ the name waz lost’ — and I wrote this poem about my nephew. The poem didn’t get written until 2012 and it didn’t go viral until 2013, but what becomes really important is that the experience that I write about happened 13 years ago. So the poem is always relevant. Every time a police officer ends up shooting someone Black, this poem becomes relevant again. I hate that this poem stays relevant.”

The hard-hitting “Cuz He’s Black” recounts an enlightening car ride when Johnson realized his then 5-year-old nephew had “learned to hide/ from the cops before/ he knew how to read.” He admonishes the boy to not be afraid and to “know your laws,” even as he sorrowfully namechecks historic victims of police brutality from Emmett 10 PASADENA WEEKLY | 09.24.20

Till to Amadou Diallo and Trayvon Martin.

Such defining experiences for his family and community are at the center of most of Johnson’s poems, even when he doesn’t specifically reference them. Dig beneath the imagery and heart-gripping moments, and what he continually asks — what “Still.” asks, from its title to its collective force as a whole performance piece — is, what does it mean to work toward a better world, and how might this act/decision/ poem/protest help us get there?

“Artists have a particularly important role in that,” he said. “I always tell people there’s a reason why Plato says kill off the poets in the perfect republic. Poets have the ability to get people to believe in dreams outside of Plato’s philosopher dreams.

Ngugi Wa Thiong’o’s book ‘Penpoints, Gunpoints and Dreams’ argues that the state (government) has dreams for the nation [and] uses gunpoints to enforce their dreams, while artists use penpoints to imagine those dreams. And artists’ dreams are expansive. … Imagination is to think of that which does not exist. It’s the charge of the artist to put imagination into practice, to establish that which does not exist.

What haven’t we done, what can we do, what else can be? That is important in thinking about what it means to work toward a better world. …

“Take voting rights. There was a time that it was absurd for both you and I to vote.

Someone had to imagine me as property, right? And someone like you, who had also been considered property in a different kind of relationship. Someone had to imagine that property could have stakes in the political apparatus. That takes sheer imagination. The creativity to be political in spite of no access to the democratic process is amazing. So the history of Black liberation for me is a history of creativity and of imagination. The history of feminist liberation is a history of creativity and imagination.”

Johnson speaks in a rush of ebullient energy even when tunneling into weighty topics. He laughs often and tells amusing family anecdotes (“I’m also an incredibly silly person”) that, when shared onstage between poems, form conversational connections with audiences. That got lost during the filming of “Still.” at the Pasadena Playhouse when he performed alone onstage to lights, cameras, and a bare-boned crew.

But he likens the filming experience to the intimacy experienced during one-onone conversations when people “share the wildernesses” of their individual selves.

When we lose loved ones, he said, “what we’re hurting for is that shared space that’s no longer quite the same. There’s this intimacy where I’m hoping the audience can get lost with it. I think that’s what gained.”

“Still.” begins streaming via Playhouse Live on September 30. Visit pasadenaplayhouse.org/playhouselive-streaming-september-30th for details.” n

‘BILL & TED’ DRUMMER MARCHES TO HER OWN BEAT

BY KAMALA KIRK

rom the moment Patty Anne Miller sat behind a drum set at the age of 10, it was obvious to her that she had a natural gift.

“I didn’t even have to think about it; it was just easy,” said Miller, whose long journey drumming has led her to a role in the new film “Bill & Ted Face the Music.” A sequel to the ‘80s and ‘90s cult classics starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, the film can be rented via Premium VOD. “When I performed in my sixth-grade concert, my parents immediately bought me a drum set,” the South Pasadena resident recalled of her early beginnings. “Back then, playing drums wasn’t something that a lot of girls did—it was mostly guys. I’m so grateful to my parents because they really nurtured my gift and allowed me to go after my dreams.”

During high school, Miller performed in the marching band and various concert bands, as well as at Sunday service for her church’s choir. She would spend hours practicing on the drums, playing along with her favorite CDs and

mimicking her favorite drummers.

“When I played in church, there wasn’t any sheet music. You just listened to the song and performed,” Miller shared. “It’s innate. I can’t really explain it. I just played from my heart.”

Growing up in Manchester, Connecticut, Miller’s musical influences included Sheila E., Aaron Spears, Tony Royster Jr. and Travis Barker. During her senior year at Manchester High School, she attended the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts after school and won two awards from the Berklee High School Jazz Festival, hosted by Berklee College of Music in Boston.

After graduating from high school, she attended the local community college while working at Guitar Center. During one of her work shifts, when no one was around, Miller sat down behind a set of drums and began to play. She happened to draw the attention of an older Air Force gentleman who was in the store at the time, Sgt. Stanley Holland.

“He complimented my drum playing, then asked what I was doing with my life and if I was going to go to school for drums,” Miller said. “At that point, I hadn’t even thought about being a professional drummer—I had been planning to pursue the business side of music.

“The next day, something told me to go into work even though I had the day off, and that’s when I received a phone call from him at the store. He said he really believed that God wanted him to help me get on the right path, and at the time in my life, I was also praying for direction.”

Holland mentioned to Miller that Berklee College of Music was holding auditions for scholarships and said he felt that would be a great opportunity.

He got her information before hanging up the phone; then, within a week and a half, she received a call from the school inviting her to audition. She made the drive to Boston for the audition and, three weeks later, found out she had been granted a full-tuition scholarship.

“I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I knew that was where I was supposed to go and I was ready for the next level in my life. Berklee was that springboard that put me where I needed to be, and everything I’ve accomplished has been a result of getting that start. I truly believe that Sgt. Holland was my guardian angel.”

Miller spent the next four years at Berklee College of Music, where she studied professional music with a concentration in music business. Prior to graduating in 2010, she landed an internship at Sony Music’s film and marketing department in Los Angeles, so she moved to the West Coast. After completing her internship and earning her degree, Miller spent the next few years working in retail and playing drums in small bars across town.

In 2011, she tried out for “So You Think You Can Dance” and impressed the judges with her freestyle hip-hop routine, which earned her a ticket to Vegas.

While she didn’t make it to the end, Miller said that it was a very positive and touching experience.

“I was getting all of these beautiful messages from people around the world who said they loved my dancing and my energy,” she pointed out. “I’m not your normal type of girl. I have a very unique and different style, and that was the first time in my life where I felt that being myself was enough.”

Miller ended up landing her first major gig as a drummer for Cee Lo Green in 2014, with whom she performed for the next two years, including opening for Lionel Richie. The following year, Miller got an agent and began to book roles on national television commercials, including McDonald’s. She even played drums for a Chobani Yogurt commercial.

In February 2016, the opportunity of a lifetime came when Miller performed with Beyoncé during the Super Bowl halftime show.

“I was ecstatic,” Miller said. “There were so many emotions going on, and I couldn’t believe it was actually happening.”

Next, Miller played on a promotional tour with Swedish artist Zara Larsson. Then, in 2017, she became the drummer for Quinn XCII, who she has been performing with for the past three years.

“Quinn is amazing and his whole team is like family to me,” Miller shared.

“It’s so important to find an artist that you connect with, and it’s beautiful to be able to travel the world doing what you love.”

In 2019, Miller made the transition to the big screen when she landed the role of Grom in “Bill & Ted Face the Music” alongside Reeves and Winter.

A casting director had messaged Miller on Instagram looking for a female drummer to play a role in the movie, so she filmed a self-tape and went through the audition process. A few weeks later, she was on a plane headed to New Orleans for a month of filming.

“It was such a beautiful experience,” Miller said. “Dean Parisot is an amazing director, and the entire cast and crew were wonderful. I had scenes with Keanu and Alex, and they were both so down to earth and cool. I enjoyed learning as much as I could from the other actors on set, and I definitely want to do more movies in the future.”

Due to COVID-19, tours and show dates have been canceled, so Miller has been taking advantage of this time to live in the moment, relax at home and spend more time outdoors.

“2019 was a super busy year for me, so I’m just taking time to rebalance and focus on my mental and spiritual side,” Miller said. “I’m looking at the silver linings in life and staying in gratitude. I love being able to share my gift with others and inspire them to pursue their dreams. When you believe in yourself and keep going, anything is possible. I’m just following my heartbeat and enjoying life.”
