I would like to write to support Michael Carnacchi’s stand against the predatory practices of credit card companies (“David and Two Goliaths,� Dec. 16). I’ve had two recent run-ins with GE Money. I believe that this company does not send out statements letting their customers know when a payment is due. The only correspondence I received from them was when my account was “delinquent� and, of course, that meant penalties and over 30 percent interest rate charges. I respect what Michael is doing and would like to do what I can to help him fight his battle. I believe we have a financial mafia in this country, and think his battle is our own.
Having been on the front lines battling Monsanto and its transgenic creations on the island of Maui, I enjoyed the recent installation of Green Zone (“Monsanto at the Coffee House,� Dec. 9). Hawaii is known to have more genetically modified experimental crops per acre than any other state in the nation. While confronting the pro-Monsanto Ph.D.s in the local printed media, I had the odd fortune of meeting two of them personally. The first was a GMO forerunner from Canada, who has built his reputation upon the platitudes of transgenic experimentation. He gave a seemingly sincere and earnest talk about how GMO droughtresistant seeds could “feed the world.� I countered that technology has never been the obstacle to feeding the world. I suggested that at any time in history the human race has had the ability to cultivate, cooperate and share food supplies
<0A80= <DA?7H 740;3B1DA6
when needed. Lack of will, not the way, has been our problem. He offered no retort. The second Ph.D. I met at a debate sponsored by a local community organization. With the knowledge that Monsanto intentionally creates genomes that assume dominance when crosspollinating with indigenous varieties, I asked my opponent the simple question, “Doesn’t it bother you as a scientist to support such an aggressive technology?� His simple answer: “No.� Monsanto is convinced of its self-appointed manifest destiny of biological imperialism. Twenty years ago, they lobbied our federal government to create laws to protect their technological intrusion upon the natural world. Predatory capitalism is their creed, control is their greed.

Library budget cuts prompt debate over their necessity By Leilani Clark
0
s the place where people gain information, skills and inspiration for free, libraries are essential to the functioning of a truly democratic society. But as stated on signs recently placed around Sonoma County Library branches, the library is “free to use, but not free to operate.� On Dec. 24, a large segment of the North Bay community will lose access to local branches for 10 days, as the county library system begins a block closure running through Jan. 3. All services will be shut down, including online catalogue access and internet access as well as fee and materials collection. Some 2.6 million people across the county visited their local libraries last year. For patrons who depend on the libraries for the internet, job search data, general
entertainment and study needs, 10 days is a long time to be out in the cold. How did it get so bad? According to library director Sandy Cooper, difficult decisions had to be made after a $1.7 million budget shortfall. With the fall in home values across the county, the Sonoma County Library System, which gets 90 percent of its income from property taxes, was forced to cut its operating budget. The entire staff accepted a 5 percent pay cut, and nine employees have agreed to take early retirement, but even those budget cuts are not enough to close the gap. “It was the best way to handle the situation, to quickly save the money without really having a long-term impact on programs and staffing,� Cooper says. “We have no idea how long these hard times are going to go on, and our goal is to maintain the staff and the library service at the highest
levels we can so that when we come out of it, we can hit the ground running and continue to provide the best service we can.� Library decision-makers are currently waiting “on pins and needles,� according to Cooper, for next year’s property tax income projections, due from the County Assessor’s Office in January 2010. Margaret Lynch, chair of the Library Commission—the entity that makes the fiduciary decisions—says that the block closing is the result of a “contorted and ineffective structure for libraries.� Lynch claims that the library is not generously funded to start with, so they were particularly affected by the drop in property tax income. “We don’t want to close, but certainly something eventually has to be done about the tax structure in the state of California if we are going to continue to have services, i.e. libraries, schools, etc.,� says Lynch. &&

Fighting the flu this winter is simple: Take vitamin D By Lauren Ayers
A
ecent studies show that vitamin D helps prevent flu. This information is so new that it will be some years before California and federal publichealth agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control are able to alert the public that D is crucial for immunity. Emory University scientists recently examined the research and concluded that D not only prevents but, in fact, treats flu. And the November 2009 Harvard Heart Letter says, “Having enough D in circulation can help the body fight off the flu, tuberculosis and infections of the upper respiratory tract.� Unfortunately, only three out of 10 American children have enough D to use this immunity. Worse, only two out of 10 Latino children and only one out of 10 African-American children studied have adequate D, because melanin in the skin blocks the sunlight that makes the stuff. Vitamin D is needed by every cell in the body, and is actually not a vitamin but a hormone. Here is a list of health problems which research finds related to D deficiency: acne, asthma, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, fibromyalgia, heart disease, high blood pressure, MS, muscle weakness, obesity, osteoporosis, TB, ADD, autism, depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. It’s shocking: in just 10 years, the average blood-serum level of D in Americans went from low to lower; that is, from 30 to 24 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). For comparison, Kaiser Permanente aims for blood levels from 40 to 70 ng/mL. Farmers and lifeguards are the gold standard, because they make D from sunlight and typically have 100 ng/mL. The American College of Nutrition advises 5,000 International Units (IU) of D a day for adults, and in the Medical Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Dr. C. L. Wagner advises 6,4000 IU for nursing mothers. In order to get 2,000 IU per day simply from food you would need to eat six servings of salmon, or 10 servings of tuna or drink 20 glasses of fortified milk. All of these are all much higher than the out-of-date FDA standard of only 200 IU a day for children and adults that makes no allowance for age, weight, fish consumption, sun exposure or melanin level in the skin. School food only provides 100 to 200 IU
a day because it is based on the one-size-fits-all FDA standards. Therefore, it’s up to parents to ensure that their children get enough D. Keep in mind that vitamin D3 is more effective than vitamin D2. Vitamin D3 is made from fish liver oil, or lanolin. Lanolin has no fishy taste; it’s usually a powder inside a capsule. Parents can pull apart the capsule and mix the powder into food. Note that D supplementation calls for sufficient dietary calcium, magnesium and other minerals. Anyone with liver or kidney disease, or sarcoidosis, needs medical supervision. If you want to know your or your child’s current blood level of D, the 25-OHD test will tell you. This reliable $40 home “blood spot� D test hurts no more than pulling a splinter. Go to GrassrootsHealth.net, click on “D-Action,� and scroll down to the “Join Now� button. This is a five-year study, but you can buy just one test. Results are sent by email. Why are so many people deficient? Modern life. Americans eat less fish than ever, work and play inside more than ever, use sunscreen, weigh more (excess body fat sequesters D), and no longer use supplements like cod liver oil. Plus, we cannot make D during the winter because the sun’s ultraviolet B rays travel at an oblique angle, a longer path that means the UVB rays are absorbed before reaching us. In spring, summer and fall, when the sun is directly overhead, a pale person wearing a bathing suit can make as much as 20,000 IU of D in 20 minutes. People with more melanin make less, and need more time in the sun. We can store D in our bodies, but by January or February most people have used up what they stored, which is among the reasons why that is called the flu “season.� New evidence suggests that this need not be a necessary evil if you commit to giving yourself and your family enough D.
Vitamin D is needed by every cell in the body and is actually not a vitamin but a hormone.

She says that the closure of the library is painful all the way around, for patrons and staff. It’s not only the county libraries that are suffering as a result of the recession. On Jan. 13, the Santa Rosa City School Board will announce whether to eliminate seven teacher-librarian positions in order to cut $5.6 million from next year’s budget. Santa Rosa City School Board member Tad Wakefield advocates cutting the teacherlibrarian positions if it means that class sizes will not be increased. “I know it upsets people who love books and libraries, as I do, yet it is a greater disservice to our 15,000 kids to jack up their class sizes to unconscionable levels before sending seven teacher-librarians back to the classroom where they can still serve our kids in an effective, albeit significantly different, way,� Wakefield argues.
Donations to the Public Library Foundation can be made at any branch.
Connie Williams, past president of the California School Library Association, says that students need access to the information and technology available in libraries in order to succeed in the 21st century. Williams believes that kids who read well do better not only in school, but throughout life. It is the teacher librarian who often puts those books into the kids’ hands. Williams says that with cuts to both school and county libraries looming, those from disadvantaged circumstances, who cannot just drop by a bookstore to pick up a new book, will be the ones who are deprived. “School libraries are funded by school districts, and public libraries are funded through a different set of funding sources,� Williams explains. “The two don’t really have anything to do with each other fiscally, but what happens—in having the county libraries shut down over the break, for example, and taking away from the school libraries—means that there are children who have no access whatsoever to books.� People who would like to support strapped county and school libraries do have options. Donations to the Public Library Foundation can be made at any branch, and new members of local library “friends� groups are always welcome. To learn more about the proposed cuts to Santa Rosa City Schools libraries, the school board meetings are open to all. “You close the school libraries, and then sometimes the city library is the fallback,� Williams says. “The two are different animals, but if you close one door and then you close another, then all of our population— whether rich or poor—doesn’t have access. “We want to keep it open for everyone.�

The further adventures of Sally Smart, cub reporter
Your vision‌ my resources, dedication and integrity‌ Together, we can catch your dream.
By Juliane Poirier
2
hristmas Eve in Copenhagen. Shivering in the icy winds from far off the Baltic Sea, cub reporter Sally Smart scuttles miserably down Amager Boulevard, bits of ice edging her eyelids. No one from back home would have recognized the slim reporter from The Weekly Planet newspaper, now resembling a sidewalk dirigible in a down overcoat, massive woolen hat and gloves. She might have passed for the awkward heroine from Bridget Jones’s Diary but for her utter lack of pluck and Colin Firth. “No,� Sally tells herself, “I’m not going to get a date in the land of Vikings any more than I’m going to get a story.� She kicks at some ice. “Oh, why did I do it?� Sally asks herself again, upset that she had let her mother book her f light to Denmark. Sally’s nonrefundable f light arrived the week after the event. Sally knows math professors can’t understand calendars, a n d h e r m o t h e r ’s clueless attempts at consoling her made it worse. “Cop enhagen will be so much nicer without those crowds,� Professor S m a r t h a d s a i d . “ Yo u can see a lot more without demonstrators blo cking the scenery, and I’m sure those bells would have given you a headache.� Sally had burst into tears at the mention of the bells. “What?� The professor was often perplexed by displays of emotion. “Did I say something wrong?� Sally had hoped to be there, standing in the middle of the city when hundreds of old church bells rang 350 times for a sustainable climate, once for each particle per million of allowable carbon. Something of a romantic, Sally believed the resonance of bells would make everyone feel all Kumbaya and willing to do the right thing—to make serious and binding carbon-reduction goals, and give money to poorer countries to help implement right climate actions. Just 22 and fresh out of journalism school, Sally wanted something beautiful to report about the not-so-beautiful conference. But she missed it entirely—missed the bells and the excitement, the massive demonstrations
Sally had hoped to be standing in the middle of the city when hundreds of old church bells rang 350 times for a sustainable climate.

and arrests, the near-collapse of negotiations, the meeting of over a hundred world leaders and their wimpy accord. “Maybe I can write a travel piece,� she pondered feebly. “Maybe something about the food?� She thinks instead about what might happen now that COP-15 is over. “If this accord is all we have,� she reasons, “will half a million innocent people die in developing nations a few decades from now because of what we consume in the United States? If everyone gives up, will that tiny island nation drown, will we have a 7 degree Celsius increase in the middle of North America, will the Sierras stop delivering the right amount of water, will the food crops be ruined, will people starve, and will those weird diseases wipe out as many humans as predicted? Am I the only person left on Earth who still thinks these are important questions?� Sally tries to stop thinking about it. “It’s Christmas Eve,� she tells herself gloomily. “Lighten up!� She decides to look for a cafe and celebrate alone over a pickled herring sandwich on Danish cracker bread. All of a sudden she hears faint music she recognizes: “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.� “Longfellow,� Sally says hopefully. “Henry Longfellow wrote the words to that song. It’s a bit somber but ends well.� The notes grow distinct before a hotel built of pale stone. She pushes on the glass door and steps inside. There, a young man in jeans and turtleneck plays carols to a near empty lobby, singing in accented English. She looks at him. He looks at her. They smile. Suddenly Sally feels optimistic about the future of climate protection. Noticing that the cello case at his feet is adorned with climate-protection slogans in multiple languages, Sally pulls out her microrecorder, newly inspired. “The same church bells that rang in concert during COP-15 will soon ring in a Danish Christmas,� Sally whispers into the mike. “Meanwhile, a lone cellist plays carols in Copenhagen, the magical city of Hans Christian Andersen, where we are reminded that a heartfelt fantasy—ecojustice on a cool earth—is always worth hoping for.�

2^ccdaP 3T[[P 5P\XV[XP Sundays in the kitchen with Food Not Bombs, a love story By Dani Burlison

everal large plastic bags filled with French loaves, polenta rounds and garlic sourdough are stacked on my front porch most Sunday mornings. On a lucky day, a few paper grocery bags bursting with apple pies, tiramisu and boxed cookies accompany them. If the gods are smiling on me, my daughters are still asleep while I mosey around in my pajamas and geeky lavender slippers sipping tea, Tin Hat Trio on the stereo, Nag Champa wafting through the air. At some point, I set down my chipped tea mug and clean the kitchen before the Food Not Bombs cooks, due to arrive in the early afternoon, stumble into my disheveled home. The national Food Not Bombs movement has evolved over the years and through the changing times like any grassroots organization. Founded in 1980 by antinuclear activists in Cambridge, Mass., Food Not Bombs established
itself as a direct-action group with the agenda of sharing food and information with people in public spaces without permits and without hierarchical organization. The group focuses on the preparation of mostly vegan and always vegetarian food to instill a further sense of nonviolence; no animals need to be killed in order for diners to fill their bellies. With chapters now branching out across the globe, peace-minded folks everywhere gather in private kitchens to save visually unappealing but perfectly safe and healthy produce from compost piles and dumpsters, creating meals for hungry and less fortunate community members. In a country that wastes ungodly amounts of money on preparing for and recovering from wars while hungry people walk the streets, it is absurd to Food Not Bombs groups that so much perfectly edible food would be thrown out. The North Bay Food Not Bombs movement began with humble, short-lived efforts during the first Gulf War and was reborn in the late 1990s
at the height of the local Police Accountability and Earth First! movements. Bagels with hummus, along with hearty soups and modest salads, were served on Sunday afternoons in Santa Rosa’s Courthouse Square while budding revolutionaries gathered to analyze the latest mass media news, organized actions at Headwater’s Forest in Humboldt County or recapped the highlights of recent punk and hip-hop shows. These days, as word of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are accompanied by the healthcare debate and immigration issues, the conversations are tinted with a sense of overwhelm, yet focus more on local, sustainable remedies for the world’s nightmarish problems. I feel eternally indebted to Food Not Bombs, and so have offered my tiny Santa Rosa kitchen as a community cooking site on countless Sundays for over six years. After leaving an unhealthy relationship in 2002, I found myself homeless with two little girls, then ages two and six, in tow. With no nearby family and a bank &* THE BOHEMIAN

account gutted by my drug-addicted ex, the only place I knew I could turn for food and support was the Food Not Bombs House, which was then located on South E Street in Santa Rosa. This is where my daughters learned to cook and began to understand the value and importance of community. I spent Sundays tearing bread apart for stuffing, slicing onions until my eyes nearly bled and talking smack about racist cops, the pending war in Iraq and the latest gossip about which Earth First! activist was sleeping with which bassplaying punk rocker and who had sold out by dating a corporate accountant. Now in my own home across town, I never know who or what to expect as I hear that first knock on the door each Sunday around 2pm. Some days, it’s a group of young SRJC students, grasping banjos, Foucault tucked under arms, just starving for talk of revolution. Other days, it’s a neighbor and his children who come to cook with me as we share parental anecdotes and laugh over our backyard chickens. In one sense, I have grown from a young and eager revolutionary to being a pseudo-historian, weaving my radical opinions and personal experiences into stories that are shared while slicing zucchini or opening a gazillion cans of tomato sauce for a very creative minestrone soup. Quite often, the produce is the last element to make an appearance. This is usually a result of poor communication on the FNB listserv. Some sweet soul— whoever has a car—is enlisted to dart across town to Community Market and snatch the crates of produce they have so kindly saved for us. Upon return, the driver’s efforts are met with excitement or amusement. What exactly does one do with eight pounds of okra, 16 cucumbers and two crates of browning romaine? Or what happens when some well-meaning farmer donates 20 cases of rotting corn? The romaine is stripped to its core while the corn is picked through and the remaining, bug-infested ears are buried in the backyard. Sure, there’s a Food Not Bombs handbook that can help guide cooks through food salvaging and preparation, but after nearly two decades of FNB volunteers whipping up and serving food to hungry mouths in Sonoma County, recipes have been passed down through the generations of activists much like elder Italian women share kitchen wisdom with grandchildren. Each time the cooking changes locations, a new seasoning is discovered. At my house, the rosemary stuffing would be accompanied by curried mashed potatoes. Across town, the potatoes are heavy with fresh garlic and the stuffing is covered with onion salt.

n a recent Sunday, the lucky hens cluck gleefully at the wilted dinosaur kale we’ve tossed to them and we roll up our sleeves and get to work. The CD has been switched over to a mix of the Coup and Animal Collective as laughter and steam intermingle in my overcrowded, tiny cooking
space; mushroom stems are scattered over the table, squishy tomatoes leak juice down cutting boards and across countertops. As always, we focus on basics, lucky to have purchased an obscene amount of organic brown rice from the Redwood Empire Food Bank that will serve as a filler for the soup we’ve got boiling away on the stovetop. A young, barefoot volunteer pulls some goji berries and kombucha from his knapsack and offers them to me, insisting that they’ll help with my fatigue while I peel potatoes into the sink. Our conversation has turned from seasoning recommendations and disappointment with Obama to a discussion of herbal remedies, Vipassana meditation retreats and the therapeutic use of psychedelics. An always chipper and hip female artist in the group suggests we watch a movie while the pots cook away in the oven, and we move from the kitchen to watch Letter to the President, a documentary about the birth of rap music. We wrap up in blankets with an almost Thanksgiving-like smell in the air and let the film unfold.
What exactly does one do with eight pounds of okra, 16 cucumbers and two crates of browning romaine?
After the film ends, the other cooks help me sweep my filthy f loor and load the pots, pans and serving utensils into the truck parked out front. We say our goodbyes. They are headed to serve the food in Courthouse Square, as they do every Sunday evening, and I am headed back into my pajamas to call it a night. After years of involvement, I have decided to reclaim Sundays for myself. The Santa Rosa Food Not Bombs food prep is moving on from the warm confines of my humble home and into its next incarnation with a new generation of energetic and dedicated activists. I make some tea and sit at the table in my now-quiet kitchen. I think about how this room has been occupied by punks, hippies, school teachers, artists, parents, neighborhood kids, students, musicians, doctors, athletes, carpenters and everyone in between for years while my daughters thrived among them. I think about all that we have learned from them and the FNB movement. They may not be the feisty Italian grandmothers I might have longed for, but they are certainly my family. THE BOHEMIAN

7>;830H <40;B ust hear those sleigh bells ringing and bill collectors calling, too. It’s not such lovely weather to be broke and depressed, poor you. It can be pretty darn tough to feel like walking in a winter wonderland while pinching pennies and bargain shopping for holiday gifts this season. With unemployment rates climbing steadily up and increases in some utility rates looming on the horizon, free Christmas dinners are a crucial component for many North Bay families this winter. Thanks to the holiday spirit that thrives despite economic crises, free meals abound so that pennies are stretched further and no one has to spend Christmas alone or hungry.
J
The Sonoma Community Center (276 E. Napa St., Sonoma; 707.938.4626) serves up Christmas dinner from 3pm to 6pm on Friday, Dec. 25, with help from the Faith Presbyterian Church. According to event manager Toni Castrone, diners should plan to arrive at least half an hour early, as there is often a line to get into this annual free dinner, which is made possible by contributions from local businesses. Pies or other treats are graciously welcomed for the desert table, as are monetary donations that beneďŹ t the community center’s arts and education programs. Also in Sonoma County is the annual Christmas dinner in Guerneville at the Veterans Memorial Building (First and Church Streets, Guerneville; 707.565.2041). The meal, which is served from 1pm to 4pm, became an annual event after being established in 1982. With well over 500 bellies ďŹ lled each year, volunteers are urged to call 707.869.0660 to lend a hand and help with festivities. Over in the valley, the Table at First Presbyterian Church in Napa (1333 Third St., Room 23; 707.224.8693) will dish out platefuls to the hungry on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, from noon to 2pm. And ďŹ nally, Marin County does it up big once again at St. Vincent de Paul’s dining room (820 B St., San Rafael; 415.454.3303). Following a visit from Santa and holiday carolers on Christmas Eve from 10:45am to 12:30pm, a Christmas feast will be served on Friday, Dec. 25, from 2:30pm until 5:30pm. The hot meal is accompanied by live music and provides buses to local church services at 5:30pm. Happy holidays to all! Dani Burlison

ast-minute cheapo champers shoppers, we know you’re out there. We’ve been there, too: lurching down the liquor store aisle at 11pm, cruising the bottom shelf for any old bubbly and calling it Champagne. All you require is that it goes “popâ€? (after being shaken up in direct contradiction to the idiot warning on the label that is only supplied with sparkling wine of this caliber). Half of it will douse a person in front of you whom you don’t even know, and the whole point anyway is to smooch someone in your immediate vicinity— maybe even that wet, sticky person in front of you. Or perhaps you just want an economical glass of celebration after an energetic evening of Scrabble while watching the ball drop on TV—oh, yes, we’ve been there too. But when spending $7 or less, why not get, you know, the good stuff—or at least as good as you can get? Who knows what sparks may y after midnight. It wouldn’t be the ďŹ rst time that a great love, however eeting, was found at the bottom of a bottle of Cook’s. So I gathered seven experts in the ďŹ eld of social drinking to assess a selection of usual suspects from the bottom shelf. Wines were blind-tasted, scored and a ringer was thrown in as a sort of control. Prices are approximate—these are from Santa Rosa’s Bottle Barn—and the results were surprising. 1. Cristalino Brut Cava ($6.49) One of two samples produced mĂŠthode champenoise, the Cristalino prompted one wag to question whether I’d sneaked a good French Champagne into the mix—ha ha. Noted for musky cologne or yeasty aroma, it had good bubbles, a dry, citrusy palate and was praised for its “drinkability,â€? also an attribute of a nationally distributed beer. 2. Cook’s Brut California Champagne ($6.59) Cook’s has come a long way. While the most frequently noted avor was berrylike, this off-dry sparkler, with aromas of dusted bowl, honey and tropical fruit, was called a crowd-pleaser and one taster guessed it to be Prosecco. But hey, didn’t this used to cost $2.99?
3. MoĂŤt & Chandon Imperial ($34.99) Yup, the ringer. A mid-priced (or entry-level, depending on your perspective) authentic French Champagne, and the successor to MoĂŤt & Chandon’s popular but abruptly discontinued White Star, this placed third. After Cook’s. The popular take on it was that it was “like the last one [Cristalino], but fartier,â€? with opinions improving a few minutes out. Honeysuckle aromas and papayapineapple avors took this import a little too far on the sweet side for most, although its creamy, nutty ďŹ nish was judged . . . “Champagne-like.â€? 4. AndrĂŠ Brut California Champagne ($3.29) Clean, peachy and sweet with a hint of kiwi, the AndrĂŠ was nowhere nearly as roundly dismissed as it might have been had it been announced as such. 5. Barefoot Bubbly Brut CuvĂŠe ($6.99) Coming in close after the AndrĂŠ, the Barefoot was nice and dry, with aggressive effervescence and a palate of dry apple cider— Strongbow, anyone? Some thought the ďŹ nish a bit hot. 6. J. RogĂŠt Brut California Champagne ($2.99) No surprise here. Not horrible: avors of apple fritter and Fresca, but cloying, and the bubbles spent themselves fast. You, um, might want to skip this one. Happy New Year!

6X\\T CfT]ch CT] In celebration of all the many ways to slam the door shut on this weird-ass decade By Gretchen Giles and Gabe Meline

oodbye MySpace, goodbye Lost, goodbye Texas cowboys and (hopefully) goodbye Uggs. Goodbye, aughts! The decade that Time magazine dubbed “the Decade from Hell� gives us every reason to don the ditzy hat, blow the stupid horn and kiss a bazillion boozy farewells to this oftentimes maddening decade. Can you believe that just 10 years ago our biggest fear was the Y2K scare? A lot has changed, party animals. Yet some things remain constant, which brings us immediately to Tommy Castro and his fretboard-shreddin’, slicked-hair, perpetually grinnin’ and gettin’-down-and-bluesin’-it-up style that guarantees a boogie-down set at the Mystic Theatre. With Champagne and balloon drop, Castro’s $50 New Year’s show is perfect party fodder. Opener Jeffrey Halford and the Healers get things moving, then it’s all Tommy all the time with laughin’, twistin’, shakin’ and more dropped g’s than a Sarah Palin speech.
For a younger crowd, it’s hard to beat DJs Zeph and Azeem at the Hopmonk Tavern, both San Francisco legends who cross styles on the crossfader and who’ll be playing with a full live band. Add fellow beat addict Romanowski to the bill, plus the Mystic Beat Lounge taking over the beer garden with more DJs, plus fire dancers, live artists, masseuses, video mashups and more, and it’s hard to pass up. Bonus: the first 200 tickets are just $20, going up to $25 and $30. Meanwhile, just across the alley, the deal of the decade is the one-night return of DJs Jacques & Guacamole spinning dancehall, funk and hip-hop at Jasper O’Farrells for only $5. Seriously! $5! Lady Gaga might not be appearing locally, but her fanbase should be heavily repped at the Hilton Golden Ballroom in Santa Rosa for Sapphire, “a party for queer girlz and boyz.� Elegant, swanky and formal are the dress requests, so dang, that means Gaga’s weird gold bondage getups are out. However, it’s just $20 and “plentiful seating� is promised! Not that
anyone will need it—with double DJs rockin’ the double decks, the dance f loor should be bumping hard. Camera possession quadrupled over the last decade, and with it the idea that everyone is a star. “Photographers on hand� is a selling point at the Casbar’s GLAM LGBT New Years’ bash in Santa Rosa, where a mere $10 gets the bubbly, the balloons, the bad, buttery boys and the besmirchment. See yourself on the internet the next day! While serious partiers scoff at New Year’s Eve as “amateur night,� the Society of Professional Singles take love, at least, seriously, hosting their annual North Bay Singles’ New Year’s Eve Bash at San Rafael’s Embassy Suites Hotel. This is a dressy dance party replete with silly hats for only $20. We’ll lend you the money if that’s what it takes to help you start the New Year with a smile. For those who like their NYE to be wild, Safari West quite literally offers a chance. The ultimate treat is to stay the night in one of their luxe Out of Africa “tents,� ') THE BOHEMIAN

which are actually platform tree houses with full accoutrements covered in stout duck canvas, and are utterly magical. Guests awaken to the sounds of exotic wild animals awakening, their roars and squawks and odd cradle-of-civilization sounds utterly satisfying and nearly frightening in the dim morning light. Those opting to sleep at home are nonetheless well served, as Safari West has a stellar kitchen operation and welltrained staff who host guests in impeccable style near the aviary and giraffes. Tickets for the party include dinner, dancing and toasts for $100, and absolutely will not be sold at the door; advance reservation only. The strange number $499.01 provides two adults not only with the night’s revelry but also lodging, a mimosa-soaked breakfast and a tour of the property the next day. For those uninterested in staying up until midnight, violinist Nigel Armstrong fits the classical bill with pianist Miles Graber in a program of Beethoven, Brahms, Ravel and Schubert, performed in the high-ceilinged confines of the Petaluma Historical Museum and Library. Spend your $12–$20, take in the quietude, and get home to bed. Likewise, over at the Napa Valley Opera House, pianist extraordinaire Marvin Hamlisch bangs out ragtime classics and soundtrack originals for the early-to-bed crowd. Don’t want to join the afterparty downstairs for the big countdown? You get a $70 break on tickets! The show: $95. Show and party: $165. Meanwhile, the iron horse that would like you and Sen. McCain to know that it did not-not-not-not-not-not seek nor spend $54 million in federal stimulus money hosts a flapper-era 1920s-style bash with everything Scott and Zelda might expect except servants and Parisian fountains. Featuring live music by Casino Royale, plenty of good dead grape and dancing until 1am, tickets have gone fast to this upscale event; the $225 per person dinner-plus option is already soldout. Those wishing a late-night dance on a romantic train can still opt in for just $55 per, beginning an elegant part of the evening at 10pm on the Napa Valley Wine Train. For those who prefer that their parties not actually move beneath them, Domain Chandon hosts its annual Glitter Ball. Dinner seating is already sold-out, but the Lounge party following restaurant service still beckons, with dancing until 1am and plenty of bubbly for $75. In Sebastopol, the indefatigable Mr. Music hosts a night at the Sebastopol Community Center with Frobeck, Uncle Wiggly, Teresa Tudury, drum circles, choirs and more for $15–$30. Forget fireworks—Sebastopudlian pagans and goddesses get the juices f lowing with a “peaceful gong ceremony� at the stroke of midnight. Down at the Mill Valley Masonic, it’s Curtis Campbell, billed as “the only Navy Seal to come out of Marin,� playing for $35–$45. We hear he plays a mean
harmonica and sings the blues, too, backed by an “all-star band� of people we’ve never heard of. But, hey! They’ve all played with every Marin County SantanaHueyScaggsChamplinMahalRaitt rock icon you can think of except Commander Cody . . . Wait! Reedman Brad Jenkins, who actually played with Commander Cody, honks the Auld Lang Syne with Lansdale Station at 19 Broadway, with the Hold Outs and Diamond Ortiz! Ladies are $10 before 10pm; $20–$25 otherwise. Whew, close one.
Down at the Mill Valley Masonic, it’s Curtis Campbell, billed as ‘the only Navy Seal to come out of Marin.’ Farther—much farther—to the north, the Gualala Arts Center hosts a fairly yowza year-end party, having lured Grammy-winning R&B artist Jackie Payne to their strand by the sea. They call it the Bones Roadhouse in honor of the juke joint that burned down this fall but aims to resurrect in February. The night features a sushi bar, finger foods, cabaret seating, two bars and one heck of a great grownup time. Guest guitarist Pat Wilder joins the band, and locals Mendo Rhythm and Swing start the night off at 7:30pm. The whole deal’s just $45 and is a great reason to spend the New Year at the beach. Mere days before war criminal Condoleezza Rice goes blah-blah-blah at the Marin Center, the venue hosts scathing satirist Lewis Black in its main auditorium and the San Francisco Comedy Competition in the Showcase Theater. The comedy competition is officially over for the year, so four comics who honed their chops on its rather grueling tour stay limber by climbing back before the lights, while Black, who rarely meets anything he doesn’t just outright hate, offers a searing firestorm of invective. He starts at 8pm; the S.F. Comedy alumni at 9pm, and quickwitted ticket holders can probably make the best of both shows. In unrelated news, unless you like to imagine Condoleezza in a bare midriff, the 808 Band rocks the Russian River Brewing Co. in Santa Rosa with live, onstage belly dancing from the ladies of Wild Card Belly Dance. Plus it’s absolutely free! Which is roughly $710 billion cheaper than the cost of the war so far in Iraq. Happy New Year!

The five biggest stage disappointments of 2009 By David Templeton
0
ll across the culturally fecund North Bay over the course of a normal 52week year, hundreds of theatrical productions are conceived, greenlighted, rehearsed and presented by dozens of local theater companies. It is fortunate that our local theater scene boasts an enormous amount of talent and creativity. Rarely do I see a show that does not offer me some reason to be glad I showed up. In fact, the allaround quality of theater in the area has made me eternally expectant, always arriving on opening night with high expectations. This is a good thing. It is also, occasionally, a pain in the ass. Every once in a while, as it must be, my high expectations are met by disappointment, usually because I know how much better the cast, crew, director or people-who-pick-theshows could have been. This is based on my having seen first-hand the level of quality these theater folks are capable of and feeling let down when they occasionally do not live up to their past performances. With this in mind, I have compiled a short list of the five shows of 2009 that, for one reason or another, disappointed me the most. This is not a list of the “worst� plays, only a description of those productions from which I expected a little more—and sometimes a whole lot more. 1. ‘La Cage Aux Folles’ Sixth Street Playhouse, which began the year with the outstanding comedy-drama The Scene, stumbled badly with its second show of 2009.
The February production of Jerry Herman’s beloved La Cage Aux Folles was the victim of behind-the-scenes struggles that resulted in director Joe Higgins’ departure from the show just two days before opening. Despite a strong, winning performance by Michael Van Why in the central role of professional transvestite Alban, the production ultimately showed little of the charm, glamour and joyfulness for which it is known. Perhaps the sense of gloom and heaviness, and the baffling undercurrents of darkness and danger were simply a reflection of the numerous artistic conflicts rumored to have troubled the show from the beginning, or perhaps the depressively eerie tone was merely a stylistic choice. Either way, compared to other productions of La Cage, a show that is usually crammed with light and laughter and love, this unfortunate aberration was easily the biggest letdown of the season. 2. ‘Doubt: A Parable’ In the weeks and months after viewing them, some shows seem to swell and expand in one’s mind, becoming gradually greater and greater, while others only grow fainter, feebler and more transparent. Pacific Alliance Stage Company’s staging of John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt: A Parable, was one of the latter. Suffering from the kind of wildly uneven casting that plagued many of PASCO’s productions over the last few years, the elegantly conceived script was seriously hurt by the weak, unfocused acting of three of the four actors. As a priest accused of improper relations with a young boy, Michael Wiles was fine, but the rest of the cast all seemed as if they’d been
pulled from other shows—and other genres. Especially problematic was first-time actress Marilyn Waters in the extremely difficult, absolutely crucial role of the accused victim’s mother. Aside from the admirable guts Waters exhibited in taking so demanding a part with absolutely no previous stage experience, the role—and the play—deserved better, and the experience of Shanley’s brilliant puzzle-box was kicked down a few notches as a result. 3. ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ Casting was the culprit again in the Ross Valley Players’ production of David Mamet’s scathing Glengarry Glen Ross. This was especially tragic since the show, directed by Jim Dunn, one of the North Bay’s very best directors, renowned for his work with the Mountain Play, boasted two of the best performances of the year. As disreputable real estate salesmen, Eric Burke and Richard Conti were superb. Unfortunately, the rest of the cast was so far removed in terms of experience and suitability that the show was mortally wounded, a little like serving frozen fish sticks alongside fresh wild salmon. Dunn’s usually impressive direction was oddly paired as well, setting Mamet’s high-octane dialogue at a painfully drama-deflating pace. This could have been so good—and it almost was. 4. ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ’ Santa Rosa Junior College’s annual Summer Repertory Theatre series scored a couple of entertainment triumphs this year, notably its sly Barefoot in the Park and raucously rowdy Wedding Singer. As surprising as those successes were, the tepid presentation of Tennessee Williams’ great Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was even more of a shock. Glacially paced by director James Newman, the show featured an appealingly wise and deeply felt performance by Tim Hayes as plantation owner Big Daddy, but the rest of the cast settled for looking their parts instead of acting the hell out of them, which is what William’s masterpiece requires. Add to that the bold but distracting casting of a black actress in the part of Maggie; director Newman obviously believed it could work, but I thought it was jarringly out of context, given the views on interracial marriages in the South at that time. Ultimately, it was the acting that did this production in. Cat is a script that rewards its actors, if they give are up to giving the twisted, soul-baring performances the story demands. Sadly, this cast wasn’t up to the challenge. 5. ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ Arguably the most interesting failure of the year was Sonoma County Repertory Theatre’s boldly experimental re-imagining of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. With an all-star cast, a live band playing the ethereal score and direction by the brilliant, untamed David Lear, this had the potential to be truly great theater. Instead, Lear threw so many ideas at the stage that the result was a bit of a visual and lineal mushpot. Apparently choosing to stage the show as if it were an actual dream—or perhaps a nightmare—Lear made some wild choices: actresses thrashing about on the ground as if possessed; a Puck who changes character with each new scene; Rude Mechanicals dressed like the opening act for KISS; royals trapped in invisible branches. While the talented cast gave it their all, the end result was a Dream that, despite its brave and ballsy risks, ended up confusing, baffling and disappointingly flat.

‘Broken Embraces’ tells the story of AlmodĂłvar’s love for cinema By Richard von Busack
0
sleek, twisty mystery, illuminated by the stunning PenĂŠlope Cruz, the new Pedro AlmodĂłvar is also a sprawler. The James M. Cain–style plot elements involve a blind film director from Madrid, most active in the 1990s (the balding but virile LluĂs Homar). After losing his sight, the filmmaker took the ballsy new name “Harry Caineâ€? and became a writer. Caine is doted on by Judit (Blanca Portillo), a mannish female assistant with whom he has some kind of past. News of the death of a corrupt tycoon sends Caine back to confront unfinished business, to retrieve the moment 16 years previously where he lost both love and sight. Broken Embraces’ well-engineered reveries over classic film are heightened by AlmodĂłvar’s seriocomic additions. The dead tycoon in question, a cuckolded millionaire named Ernesto Martel (JosĂŠ Luis GĂłmez), is apparently modeled on Everett Sloan in The Lady from Shanghai. This dangerous man is a collector of pop art, and so his dining room is full of giant Warholesque canvases portraying rifles and guns. In a joke The Simpsons should steal for Mr. Burns, he has a framed portrait of one of his pet Dobermans on the window behind his desk. Martel is also the producer of the last film Caine made. And the wealthy man unwillingly shared the love of Caine’s life,

THE BOHEMIAN
Lena, known as Magdalena, an actress, secretary and part-time prostitute, who took as her working-girl name Severine (a nod to Belle du Jour). She, of course, is played by PenĂŠlope Cruz. No one but AlmodĂłvar knows how to really make Cruz fascinating. She acts out a regular scene we used to see in ’60s movies, an auditioning actress trying on wigs, and we get to see this woman’s modes of glamour. Here is the frailty of Audrey Hepburn, the curves of Sophia Loren; in a turned-headed reveal, like that famous moment in Gilda, Cruz blazes the too-incandescent smile of Rita Hayworth. Capped with a tousled platinum wig, Cruz has something of Lana Turner in her mankiller parts. The spirits summoned up here aren’t travestied; they’re worshipped. It’s odd that Cruz can be so really astonishingly beautiful and at the same time so asymmetrical. The liquid eyes don’t quite match, and the nose and mouth are oversized for such a tiny face and chin. When she tilts her head forward, you’ve got a Picasso. This wigging sequence can’t explain Cruz’s mystery; maybe it explains all the conventionally beautiful actresses who don’t have what she has. Do we feel for Lena? It’s all a bit too stylized for that. She’s such an imago it’s hard to think of her as a character, despite the moments of love, anger and regret Cruz acts out. In the press notes, AlmodĂłvar comments about the last shot before Broken Embraces’ coda. In it, a viewer reaches into the blurred, scrambled pixels of a video screen, trying to touch the untouchable past. AlmodĂłvar says this is his way of dealing with the new methods for film watching: “I don’t want to be nostalgic. I’m willing to embrace the new techniques.â€? But what this image says is that even if one possesses a good home video library—with some of the films cited here, copies of Vertigo, Blow Up, Peeping Tom or a bootleg of 1954’s Voyage in Italy— it doesn’t get you closer to the essential intangibility of cinema. A strangely feel-good ending recreates AlmodĂłvar’s most internationally famous days in the 1980s. Having just hit age 60, the Spanish director seems to have gone valedictorian. Something comes along like Avatar or Transformers 2, and the world trumpets it as a new stage of cinema. If cinema means, in your estimation, something 90 minutes long with three-point lighting, starring a couple of actors hugging and kissing, and with a gold-wreathed lion roaring at the beginning, all that inescapable hype about the new is depressing. Imagine how depressed you’d be if you were one dedicated classicist of a film director, and suddenly AlmodĂłvar’s act of raving cinephilia makes all the more sense. He doesn’t seem to be completely losing himself in the past; he gives us some warm scenes of the enthusiasm of an old writer and a young writer brainstorming on the delightfully ridiculous plot for a modern vampire movie. But the way Broken Embraces splinters into such an array of memories, references and cul de sacs, it’s almost post the postmodern. ‘Broken Embraces’ opens on Christmas Day at the Smith Rafael Film Center, 1118 Fourth St., San Rafael. 415.454.1222.

Gang’s All Here
Kwaazy Kwanzaa
You know, Christmastime is a lot like one big class reunion. Everyone who grew up and moved away is back in town visiting the family, and chances are they’ll call or text or message or Facebook each other to go out on the town for a night with the old crew. The Shotgun Wedding Quintet definitely represent a solid crew in Sonoma County, from the jumping days of bands like Cannonball and the Savoy Swingers, before all their members moved down to San Francisco and started playing tiny clubs with Stevie Wonder. Did you jitterbug the night away to Cannonball at First Night in 1997, but have lived in Boston ever since and hoped that maybe you’d run into that one sweet guy again, for old times’ sake? Then make it a joyful reunion when Adam Theis and the Shotgun Wedding Quintet play on Saturday, Dec. 26, at Hopmonk Tavern. 230 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol. 9pm. $10. 707.829.7300.
OK, so you’re done with Christmas and you need to take the kids somewhere. You don’t want to spend any more money, Lord knows, but you gotta take them some place exciting so they’ll get out of your hair. Of course! In celebration of the first day of Kwanzaa, the Bay Area Discovery Museum offers free admission, all day, on the day after Christmas. All throughout the museum will be art projects inspired by Africa, as well as a Kwanzaa altar in the main lobby. But most importantly, in two separate shows, drummer E. W. Wainwright will lead a jazz combo in the African Roots of Jazz, tracing the lineage of jazz, blues, spirituals and hip-hop with songs, theater and audience participation. Feel the umoja on
Saturday, Dec. 26, at the Bay Area Discovery Museum. Fort Baker, 557 McReynolds Road, Sausalito. Open 10am–5pm; performances at 11am and 1pm. Free. 415.339.3900.

The Final Hole After 11 years in business, the casual, relaxation-inducing Ace-in-the-Hole Pub in Graton is closing, and with it goes the hearts of many regular drinkers, eaters and music makers.
Sales for Ace Hard Cider are booming, and the production is moving to a larger, publess facility across town. Not one to go out with a whimper—the Ace is, after all, one of the few venues in the North Bay with live music seven nights a week—the jolly spot on the corner of Graton Road and Gravenstein Highway hosts a free-for-all Beatles sing-along on its last night of pulling pints. Christmas can be the cruelest time, and seeing the Ace go down would normally be crushing, but sources tell us they’re planning on staying open long past closing for the big boozy Beatle blowout at the end of a long and winding road on Wednesday, Dec. 23, at the Ace-in-the-Hole Pub. 3100 Gravenstein Hwy., Graton. 6pm–whenever. Free. 707.829.1101.

‘Freight Train Boogie 2’ an excellent compilation of new Americana hose who still have a copy of the original Freight Train Boogie compilation, released in 2000, will notice three similarities to its just-released followup, Freight Train Boogie 2. The sequel kicks off with the Delmore Brothers–penned title track, this time in a boot-stompin’ version by East Bay bluegrass maven Laurie Lewis; it also ends, just like the original’s closer “Home Run Willie,â€? with a song about baseball. Most importantly, between these bookends is a snapshot of the finest names in underground Americana music today jumbled in with a handful of well-knowns for a solid, flowing compilation to benefit KRCB 91.1-FM. It’s those lesser-knowns, many of them regulars at Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage and Sebastopol’s Studio E, that ďŹ ll a traditional role here. Terri Hendrix offers a tune with harmonica, accordion, mandolin and root-andďŹ fth bomp-bomp bass lines, and locals Marshall, Bolt & Harr turn in a raucous Ernest Tubb–like story about a woman with “mud on her clothes and coke in her nose.â€? Elsewhere, touring stalwarts like Hayes Carll (above), Slaid Cleaves, Audrey Auld, Wayne Hancock and Sam Baker turn in great performances. What makes Freight Train Boogie 2 especially distinctive are the rich, social-commentary songs. Dave Alvin’s “It Doesn’t Make Sense (You Can’t Make Peace)â€? takes the old folk form of list-making; he rattles off a litany of human accomplishments, only to decree that they’re all pretty useless if we’re still at war. Todd Snider, responsible for the brilliant anti-Bush satire “You Got Away with It,â€? here turns in the irony-laden “Mission Accomplished (Because You Gotta Have Faith).â€? And that baseball song? Peter Cooper’s “715 (For Hank Aaron)â€? spells out in a lengthy but never dull monologue the circumstances surrounding Hank Aaron’s breaking of Babe Ruth’s homerun record, including the racist reactions of the crowd, the pundits and even the songwriter’s own barber. Co-producers Doug Jayne and Bill Frater are no strangers to local music. Jayne runs the Last Record Store in Santa Rosa and hosts “Connectionsâ€? on KRCB and “Real Jazzâ€? on the KRSH 95.9-FM, and Frater is a local mailman who hosts “Freight Train Boogieâ€? on KRCB and is one of Americana music’s most information-ďŹ lled champions. Together, they’ve pooled their musical acumen into a well-rounded, great-sounding compilation beneďŹ ting a valuable community resource: community powered public radio. Freight Train Boogie 2 is available at the Last Record Store in Santa Rosa or at www.freighttrainboogie.com.

THE BOHEMIAN
he Big O is a band from Cotati who instead of crediting Weezer as in influence—no doubt unable to hold back barfing at the thought of the band’s last few albums—simply cite “the Blue Album and Pinkerton.â€? Everyone knows that “the Blue Album and Pinkertonâ€? means the good Weezer, before Matt Sharp left and it all went to novelty-rock hell where Rivers Cuomo is Satan and his fans are perpetual adolescents doomed to an eternity of tongue-in-cheek chuckles that got old 10 million years ago. To distance oneself from such a cynical posturing of post-post-irony is a good thing, and genuineness is a part of the Big O’s honest, unpretentious songs, which remind me of the band Girls, from San Francisco, or more loosely, the Velvet Underground. Jangly guitars support the wellconstructed but weary-sounding melodies, sung as if up one too many late nights: “Turn around, love is really happening / You should know, I told you it would start again.â€? These are simple words that flashy, dressed-up arena-rock bands don’t sing anymore, and it makes sense that the Big O sing them in garages and living rooms over cheap beers and bad PAs. The Big O play this weekend with Mumble Mumble (above), a young band from Oakland whose members weren’t born when the Fastbacks started rehearsing in 1979 but who capture the same melodic thrust of carefree optimism in female-vocal-driven songs like “Wow, It’s Summer.â€? Plenty of post-Gen-Xers have taken lately to the guilty pleasures of cornball ’90s groups like Ace of Base and Naughty by Nature for amusement; few, if any, make waves by capturing what was truly good about the millennium’s ďŹ nal decade. Raise a toast to the Big O and Mumble Mumble, and their inadvertent crusade, when the two bands share a “Christmas Hangoverâ€? bill on Saturday, Dec. 26, at the Black Cat. 10056 Main St., Penngrove. 10pm. Free. 707.793.9480.

THE BOHEMIAN
By Gabe Meline

he first time I saw Not to Reason Why, in 2007, they made my teeth hurt. It’s only gotten worse in the last two years. I’ve seen them in warehouses, in theaters, in living rooms and in barns, and their effect is always physical, centered at various body parts with fierce vibration. One area is always spared the jabbing effect of their orchestrated apocalypse, however, and instead filled with calm: the brain. What is music for? It seemed only suitable to lob the most long-sweeping and epic question about music to the members of a long-sweeping and epic band. Not to Reason Why, who take their name from a roadside f lower stand in Cotati, play condensed, opulent, distorted instrumental rock, sometimes with multiple drummers and always with piano. With the exception of guitarist Ian Simpson, who admires house parties and beer, they lead decidedly un–rock ’n’ roll lifestyles. Bassist Navid Manoochehri is passionate about fine food and works at Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc restaurant in Yountville; drummer and pianist Paul and Lauren Haile are newlyweds who like going to church and memorizing classical compositions by ear. The last time I saw the band, they ended their set by slowly rising from their
instruments, gathering in a semicircle, and singing a reverent, four-part Renaissancestyle solfège chorus. What is music for? Escapism and communication, says drummer Paul Haile. “There is so much that music can do, and I feel like there is almost a type of music for every sort of situation you may come across in life. But a short answer to your question is that music is something that we do to escape reality. Something everyone can be individually passionate about, and really, a way to relate to other humans’ creative expression.â€? What is music for? Construction and synchronicity, says Manoochehri, who once fronted his own band Allez-Cuisine, named after a recurring command on the television show Iron Chef. Taking a semi-scientific route, he says, “I think music is the ultimate form of self-expression, because it requires both the left and right sides of the brain to work in tandem to create one final, emotive product.â€? What is music for? Beautiful numbness, offers Simpson, who racked his brain, before replying, “Iggy Pop said it better than I could ever say it: ‘Music is so powerful that’s it quite beyond my control, and when I’m in the grips of it, I don’t feel pleasure and I don’t feel pain. I just feel pure emotion.’ That’s exactly how I feel. The majority of our sets, I black out in the middle of them. I don’t know why it happens.â€? What is music for? Everything, says pianist Lauren Haile. “I have so much to say about this,â€? she says. “Music is for sorrow and weeping and gnashing of teeth. Music is for rejoicing and victory and triumph. Music is for building community. Music is for truth. Music is for remembering. Music is for learning, creating, growing, expanding your mind. Music is for showing strength. Music is for showing vulnerability. Music is how we say ‘I love you.’â€? Not to Reason Why have a new record out, Would You Hug Fire?, an invigorating set that, unlike their loud live shows, spares every body part. Musically, it can sit comfortably alongside evergreens such as Explosions in the Sky’s The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place or Mogwai’s Rock Action in the modern instrumental-rock canon. Emotionally, the band has dedicated it to Phoebe Washer, the 20-year-old Petaluma artist who tragically died from a 2008 fall in the Marin Headlands; two songs, “Giveâ€? and “Her,â€? were written specifically in her remembrance. Artistically, Washer’s art is included in an elegant full-color portfolio of individual prints by local artists and photographers in the deluxe vinyl edition of the album, a defiant packaging that goes against the cold, digital age. After two albums, two years of playing constantly and several short tours, Not to Reason Why have entered that realm of local bands more than deserving of the headlining record-release show. What is music for? On the first day of the New Year, find out for yourself. Not to Reason Why play with the New Trust, Litany for the Whale, Goodriddler and Moggs on Friday, Jan. 1, at the Phoenix Theater. 201 E. Washington St., Petaluma. 7pm. $8. 707.762.3565.

Missed Connections AMAZON KINDLE Hello, I met you Friday June 27 at the Russian River Brewing Company on Fourth St. in Santa Rosa. She may be a computer programmer from St. Helena Hospital and watched on this day 3 movies back to back in the theater on Fourth St. in the town of Santa Rosa The Love Guru by Mike Meyers, Wall-E and another film. And she sipped a little beer and read from her Amazon kindle. I would like to get in touch with this girl and ask her to edit my book. She is a perfect candidate for my book. Hope to hear from you.
