Recent North Bay job fair a microcosm of the unemployment scene

By Ruth Bird

2

ongresswoman Lynn Woolsey and her office organized a job fair on April 1, from 9am till noon at Petalumaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Veterans Memorial Hall. The event hosted 50 businesses from Marin and Sonoma counties, some home-grown but with a national footprint, like Amyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen, and others with a global presence, like BioMarin, a pharmaceutical company out of Novato.

Safeway, Wal-Mart, AT&T, UPS and Goodwill Industries were also there.

Employment services, both private and statefunded, participated, as did the Small Business Development Center of Santa Rosa Junior College. The center assists small business by providing counseling, low-cost workshops and a resource library. The Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Initiative for Self-Employment had a booth offering similar services representing a major theme of the Job Fair: put yourself to work by starting a business.

By far the most popular booth was Whole Foods Market; they had fresh fruit and vegetables. Every booth tried to have a little something for us, like miniature Tootsie Rolls or pens, but the most popular giveaway was ChapStick. Practically every other table had ChapStick in bowls like trick-or-treat candy.

I was not able to discover the significance of this, a failure for which I apologize.

In spite of all the warning in terms of the national unemployment figures, the employer representatives seemed to be a little unprepared for the size of the turnout.

By 11am, everyone was pretty well out of everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;handouts, business cardsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;really, the only things left were a couple of artichokes at the Whole Foods table. What there was no shortage of were rĂŠsumĂŠs. I myself came armed from Kinkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with 40 fresh copies of three entirely different rĂŠsumĂŠs, ready for multiple potential employment situations.

And thus emerged the second major theme of the Job Fair: no one wants anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rĂŠsumĂŠ any more. Two people took mineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; two out of the dozens of people I spoke with.

The new job search is done online. You, the job seeker, go to their, the employersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, website and submit an electronic rĂŠsumĂŠ.

No face to face, no telephone chatting, no

way of knowing if anyone will ever see your rĂŠsumĂŠ. The representative at the IRS booth explained to me that it was a kind of firstcome, first-served situation. One job posting could generate more than 600 responses. The selection is made from among the first 100.

I volunteered to sort through the other 500, but she told me they were only hiring auditors right now, and to please apply online.

Another big theme was networking. What was unsaid, but I think implied, is that in this job market you have to know somebody who knows somebody to crawl to the top of that rĂŠsumĂŠ heap.

Angela, another attendee, said that she has sought temporary refuge at the Santa Rosa Junior College, where she is receiving a government stipend to go back to school and learn a trade, in her case, commercial design. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, challenging and makes up a large part of her social lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but she still needs to look for work.

I got there late. Of the types of unemployedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that is, the merely discouraged and the hopelessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I waff le between the two. I knew I needed to attend this job fair, but was it really going to be worth wearing stockings and makeup?

The answer, of course, is yes. Any effort we make for ourselves to look for work is going to produce more than no effort at all. What that requires is faith, an ability to maintain hope. And somehow, this (very few) jobs fair did inspire hope. I had a great conversation with Alan Bouverat from Experience Works, a program for seniors at Sonoma County Job Link, who gave me a card and told me to call.

About a job. Face to face.

I almost cried. Thank you, Alan, and thank you, Lynn Woolsey.

In the meantime, there is always the post office. Oh, rightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not anymore, they have a hiring freeze on.

Was it really going to be worth wearing stockings and makeup?

6A40C ?028582 6HA4 There is a severe problem in the Pacific Ocean that we can no longer ignore: the great Pacific garbage patch. This is an enormous heap of plastics, toxic waste of all varieties and other nondegradable substances collecting within the North Pacific Gyre, one of five main currents directing earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oceans.

Who would have guessed? This mass is unbelievably large and is an embarrassing display of our lack of concern for the sensitivity of our home The size of this mass is in debate. Estimates conclude that it may be roughly the size of Texas, while some believe that it may have grown to the size of the continental United States. However large, the body of scientists examining the island of garbage agree that it is large enough to raise immediate awareness and, therefore, action. Given the amount of plastics, toxic wastes and nondegradable substances

disposed of in the ocean every day, we can only figure it is growing at an alarming rate (given that plastics have only been around for about 150 years).

The concern is the fragile ecosystem of the ocean, and consequently our own ecosystem. Fortunately, the garbage patch is in a rather unpopulated part of the Pacific. Theoretically, many factors could affect the patch and push it southward into the path of other currents, causing a contaminant chain reaction eventually poisoning important areas of the world. This could kill all animals up the food chain, including us.

So what do we do about it? I mean, the patch is in international waters, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault and therefore nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility. What do we do with all the garbage? We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bury it or burn it. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reuse it, because it would be almost impossible to clean. It seems that the human race has dug itself into a hole.

The key is awareness. The more people who know equals the more people who care. The dreamers of the planet will inspire the thinkers to write the formula for the doers to bring to life. See, despite how careless, reckless, and selfish human beings seem to be, we always seem to save ourselves from certain doom right in the nick of time.

I am appalled at the way in which the Obama administration is continuing the same failed polices of prior administrations with regard to Israel. Israel is building new settlements in East Jerusalem in violation of international law. This is criminal and undermines any hope of negotiating peace.

Vice President Biden, Speaker Pelosi and the president have made statements pointing out the provocative nature of the Israeli actions but then say that our support for Israel is unshakeable.

After meeting with President Obama, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had the brass to say that Jerusalem is their God-given land and they intend to proceed with building there. We then go ahead and hand them more military aid.

Is this craziness or what? Imagine a parent telling a child, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want you to smoke crack, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bad for doing it but I guess I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop you. Oh, and hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $200.â&#x20AC;?

It seems that Israel is in charge of American foreign policy in that region, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember voting for Netanyahu. More and more blood on our hands. Next time someone asks â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why do they hate us?â&#x20AC;? remember this.

A reporter gets schooled in the realities of medical marijuana

By Kylie Mendonca

F

hen Californians passed Proposition 215 in 1996, effectively legalizing marijuana for people with chronic pain or wasting diseases, it all seemed, well, so California. The seriousness of the compassionate-use movement soon melted away, and in the decade that followed, Californians saw the rise of dispensaries as pharmacy/weed-boutique hybrids, medical clinics that existed solely to legitimize patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; marijuana use and the near full acceptance of marijuana as a major agricultural crop. The Golden State was first among more than a dozen states to legally reinvent the herb as medicine, and yet, almost 15 years later, medical marijuana remains not quite legal, caught somewhere between Western medicine and Californication.

The North Bay is not completely unaffected by the commercialization trend, but despite its spot smack between Oaksterdam and Humboldt, area communities have remained somewhat resistant to the invasive weed. An exception is the medical-marijuana clinic in downtown Santa Rosa. It sits discreetly in a single-story building across from the library, next to a real estate office.

A small paper sign reading Compassionate Health Options marks the spot, yet the name is somewhat misleading considering that most people visit the clinic with just one health option in mind: medical marijuana. For a cash fee and a good tale, the story goes, anyone can get a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation for marijuana. Patients with everything from AIDS to ADHD are treating their symptoms with the weed, and a person need look no further than a weekly paper in any town to find a list of doctors competing to write recommendations.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a familiar business model to be sure.

Clinics operate with low overhead and have a ready-made remedy to offer patients, no matter the etiology of a symptom. Dr. Hanya Barth is a doctor specializing in medicalmarijuana recommendations, but she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be confused with the so-called prescription mills, despite her enthusiasm for the herb. Barth recognizes the potential for marijuana to be misused, but says that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t detract from its usefulness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not the medicine thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the problem,â&#x20AC;? Barth says. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great healing plant, but it can be abused. If I do a good job medically and someone does something inappropriate after I recommend marijuana, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any control over.â&#x20AC;?

Barth is petite with long, gray-white hair and light-colored eyes obscured by a pair of wire-rimmed glasses. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit any stereotype about what a marijuana % -

doctor should be. Barth is a mother of seven, as she readily points out, and a grandmother to seven more. Though she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use marijuana herself, Barth say sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constantly amazed at the range of illnesses it can treat, and that, not the money, is what drives her to open more clinics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing that surprises me every single day,â&#x20AC;? Barth says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is that this simple plant, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considered by some to be a weed, can be so healing, physically and mentally.â&#x20AC;?

Barth started her business five years ago, a modest one-woman operation where she answered phones, filed paperwork and saw patients herself. Today, she owns a chain of eight medical-marijuana clinics around the Bay Area and Northern California. The newest members of her green empire opened in Santa Cruz and San Jose last month, and there are already plans for a ninth clinic.

If it seems backward for patients to seek doctors based on the medicine they want to receive, rather than having a doctor diagnose a problem and prescribe a treatment based on medical expertise, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because it is. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not exactly uncommon.

Consider the way pharmaceuticals are marketed in magazines and on TV, where we see happy people run through green fields or play with puppies while a voiceover advises, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask your doctor about [insert drug name with side effects here].â&#x20AC;? There could come a day when big drug companies market marijuana, too, listing side effects such as dry mouth, forgetfulness and a strange compulsion for Doritos.

The California Medical Association, which represents more than 35,000 physicians in the state, has publicly supported doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; right to recommend marijuana, and advocated the need for more research, calling restrictions on such research â&#x20AC;&#x153;failed policy.â&#x20AC;? Still, the federal DEA compares the use of marijuana as medicine to using opium medicinally. Why, the DEA asks, would a doctor prescribe opium when there is a pharmaceutical version called morphine? And why would patients smoke marijuana, a controlled substance, when there is Marinol, a synthetic THC with side effects that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include getting high?

The answers could be as simple as availability and cost. According to DEA estimates, marijuana is the largest cash crop in California, and it can be grown at little cost by anyone with a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note. But how easy is it, really, to get the recommendation?

2

ompassionate Health Optionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; website has a list outlining the kinds of infirmity that a person might treat with marijuana. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m young and healthy, but I cross-referenced the list and settled on a compilation of true-to-life symptoms.

Insomnia, hyperactivity, anxietyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sure, I have these things. So with a cheerful stride and a pocket full of the Bohemian editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cash, I headed toward the clinic and a greener future.

Inside, the office was clean and vaguely medical with white walls and the soothing music of Jon Bon Jovi. Across from the checkin desk was a waiting room with surprisingly ethnic magazines: Latina, Black Enterprise and, of course, Health. The intake form was six pages long and wanted information ranging

from the quality of my relationship to my parents to my drug-use history. A quick screening and blood-pressure check by the receptionist confirmed that I was healthy.

Then on to the doctor, a short man wearing jeans and an orange turtleneck under a blue flannel shirt.

Much to my surprise, he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t diagnose me with ADHD or social anxiety disorder, or anything that could secure me a legal right to smoke weed. I had already handed over the cash! He did give me a temporary recommendation, good for two months, so I could try to treat myself while I looked for another doctor who would help me get a diagnosis. All of which raises the question: Why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a person just ask their regular doctor about marijuana?

Barth says that many people are still uncomfortable with asking their primarycare physician to recommend the same stuff they used to covertly smoke behind the high school gym. Many doctors are also uncomfortable recommending the drug, despite endorsements from organizations like the California Medical Association. To top it off, insurance companies refuse to cover marijuana purchases in the same way they cover pharmaceutical prescriptions or trips to a clinic like one of Barthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which, she says, is one of the reasons she only accepts cash. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a vicious circle that keeps the herb from being truly accepted as medicine.

The fact that many dispensaries or co-ops severely blur the line between pharmacy and weed exchange doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help either.

I felt compelled, despite the fact that I have too much anxiety to actually smoke marijuana, to visit a local medical-marijuana co-op. Before a person can even get close to the door at one of these places, there are several obstacles: identification, doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation, light weapons check. No phones allowed, no cameras, no electronic devices, all to protect patient identity. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strange stance to take, considering that patients are presumably acting within the law, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an attitude that, again, conflicts with the idea that marijuana is medical.

Nonetheless, I passed security and headed to the intake desk for what was a surprisingly traditional medical experienceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;except for the magazine selection, which included West Coast Cannabis, a publication â&#x20AC;&#x153;for hemp enthusiasts everywhere!â&#x20AC;? and also, I gather, for people who like to look at really big pictures of marijuana buds. Black Enterprise was conspicuously absent.

My recommendation was deemed legitimate, so I headed into the showroom, where I felt the way a lot of people my parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; age feel about technologyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; overwhelmed by the options. It turns out there is a lot more to know about consuming marijuana than which side of the Zig-Zag to lick. Glass cases displayed more than pot; there were pills, salves, edibles, resins, dusts and even a few live plants. And the prices? Well, they were not how I remembered them. I left emptyhanded, slightly offended at being offered a joint of shake for $10.

More striking than the price was the evidence that there is no typical medical-marijuana user. Some people in Barthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office or the marijuana co-op were visibly unwell, but otherwise there was no indication in any of the patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appearances that they were a certain typeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a marijuana-smoking type. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a California thing.

Naming companies is big businessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; sometimes even done well

By Daedalus Howell

G

finity, the result of Comcastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multimillion dollar rebranding effort, has raised eyebrows among critics since its unveiling in February, surely in part because the new name reads as if the cable and internet behemoth is now peddling â&#x20AC;&#x153;infinite porn.â&#x20AC;? Though this may help the ratings of its recent acquisition of a post-Conan NBC, it also points to the hazards of playing the name game with oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media empire.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s switch to Syfy from the Sci Fi Channel (which was bundled in with the NBC acquisition) was a bellwether of sorts for a rash of identity anxiety seemingly sweeping corporate America.

At first, punsters riffed on obvious syphilis gags, but eventually the derision gave way to a kind of indifference, which its ad firm surely spun as a form of â&#x20AC;&#x153;acceptanceâ&#x20AC;? worthy of their outsized invoice.

This too will likely become the case for Xfinity, whose disgruntled customers will come to rue the name as much as they presently do Comcast.

Mission accomplished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sincerely believe Xfinity will grow on us, just like Altria (the former Philip Morris), Xe (the former Blackwater) and Syfy . . . did,â&#x20AC;? wrote Simon Dumenco in a recent Advertising Age column, before preceding to comically assail the name in a 10-point list.

Naming companies is big business. Several years ago, Jeff Berner, a Marin County expat now living in Paris, facilitated the naming of a programming language for Sun Microsystems originally known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oak.â&#x20AC;? Ultimately, Berner led a team of 18 to the vastly more dynamicâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and now ubiquitousâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Java.â&#x20AC;? The thenproduct manager credited Berner for creating an open relaxed and playful atmosphere.

Other companies, however, cloak their creative machinations in processes primed for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Pollywog, a Minneapolis-based branding agency, touts itself as offering â&#x20AC;&#x153;a state-ofthe-art naming process and the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first patent-pending methodology for brand creation.â&#x20AC;? How one patents such a thing is the stuff of intellectual property lawyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wet dreams; however, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clearly more than pulling names out of a hat (just ask companies such as Bebo or Meebo, who sound as if there were named by R2-D2). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve identified 17 characteristics that combine to give a name its power,â&#x20AC;? Pollywog

crows on its site. What these characteristics are is a secret known only to Pollywog and some file clerk. However, linguist and technologist Christopher Johnson, who blogs at TheNameInspector.com, has identified at least 10 different types of company names. The fourth most popular category is what Johnson describes as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blend,â&#x20AC;? in which portions of two or more words are mixed to form another.

Popular examples cited by Johnson are Microsoft (â&#x20AC;&#x153;microcomputerâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;softwareâ&#x20AC;?), Skype (â&#x20AC;&#x153;skyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;peer-to-peerâ&#x20AC;?) and Wikipedia (â&#x20AC;&#x153;wikiâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;encyclopediaâ&#x20AC;?).

Similar portmanteaux dot our local wine industry. Audelssa Estate Winery takes its unusual name from (Aud)rey, Ch(els)ea and Aly(ssa), the founderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughters.

Likewise, Viansa Winery is said to be a contraction of its original owners namesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;(Vi)cky (an)d (Sa)m Sebastiani. Ditto Hanzell Vineyards, which is a contraction Hana Zellerbach.

Perhaps the most famous portmanteau brand is Spam, which, apocryphally, is a blend of â&#x20AC;&#x153;spiced ham.â&#x20AC;? Hormel, the makers of Spam, only tacitly embraces this as the brand nameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s origin, which it sidesteps on its â&#x20AC;&#x153;facts and triviaâ&#x20AC;? page by claiming that it â&#x20AC;&#x153;simply doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paint the right picture of what a can of Spam classic really is.â&#x20AC;? The question as to what precisely is a can of Spam might best be left to Michael Pollan. What the brand name really is, however, is something of an anomaly in the annals of marketing history. Having been appropriated by online wags in the early days of the internet to describe unwanted junk email, Hormel tried vainly to allay the association and even published an official policy statement entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spam and the Internet.â&#x20AC;? No one cared.

A decade later, the canned-meat maker now embraces the association or at least its alleged antecedent in the form of Spamalot, Eric Idleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful musical retread of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. (As oftrepeated, the termâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use is said to have come from a Python sketch in which Vikings disrupt diners by chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spam, spam, spam, spam,â&#x20AC;? like, you know, the Viagra pitches in oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inbox).

And how does all that spam get into your inbox? Ask Xfinity.

Does the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Xfinityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; truly promise an endless loop of porn?

6a^d]S ^U 0[[ 1TX]V Theologian and farmer Noel Schmidt seeks deep-green souls

By Juliane Poirier

or centuries, mystics and others retreated to monasteries, places where material possessions were left behind in exchange for a simple, contemplative life. At a monastery or convent or vihara, individuals lived in community with others seeking spiritual fulfillment. And they raised their own organic food.

In those historical monasteries, there were rules to follow within the community, and members got their marching orders from a religious administration outside their walls. This monastic system worked for a while for a lot of people. And then it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. As many old monastery buildings have long been left to crumble along with the hierarchical order that oversaw them from afar, modern contemplatives find themselves tentatively stacking stones here and there.

Some believe it just might be possible to recycle some monastic traditions to serve the emerging spiritualities of the present age. Take Noel Schmidt of Santa Rosa, for example.

An earth-loving contemplative, Schmidt would like to start a live-in community in Sonoma County with a soulful commitment to sustaining the planet. He is clearly not following a conventional religious track here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I studied Christian theology and spirituality for a number of years,â&#x20AC;? says Schmidt, a retired high school religion teacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I have transferred my need for a spiritual focus to the land and to what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing with the land.â&#x20AC;?

What he has been doing with the land lately is sustainable agriculture education. For the benefit of young people, Schmidt created and operates Patchwork Farms, a nonprofit farming project on a few acres located off Angela Drive. At Patchwork, chickens run around, vegetables grow placidly without pesticides, and students from neighboring schools do community service projects involving sustainability. They also dig in the dirt, play and generally enjoy moments in the unique and increasingly rare setting of a working farm.

But the 63-year-old grandfather and former Peace Corps volunteer is dreaming of an even deeper commitment to the

land and the spiritual qualities he finds in contemplation of the land: a kind of ecomonastery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see much purpose for being on the planet except to prepare something for our progeny and to carry on what our ancestors began, to keep life going on this planet,â&#x20AC;?

Schmidt says. Toward this goal he has created a kind of eco-chapel on the farm. And he has high hopes for it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building a dome, 46 feet in diameter and 25 feet tall,â&#x20AC;? Schmidt says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would really like to turn that into an earth sanctuary, so Patchworks becomes a place where you can pause and reflect on the amazing thing in our possession, this life and this planet. It would be a place for spiritual awakenings.â&#x20AC;?

Such awakenings will no doubt be of the eco-centric sort.

With the likes of theologian Brian Swimme and other New Age prophets, Schmidt sees the need for a planet-based spiritual mythology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually about creating for ourselves a new story,â&#x20AC;? Schmidt says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One that includes the formation of the universe long ago, how we were created from the stellar explosions and how the material of our body came from the stars.â&#x20AC;?

But to create the story, Schmidt believes, we need a community of like-minded souls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really have to get a community organized, of people who are really committed to and serious about the eco-zoic age.â&#x20AC;? (Eco-zoic, a term coined by theologian Thomas Berry, describes the present Earth era.) Schmidt envisions this monastic group living simply together and working the land, keeping bees and getting by with community-supported agriculture. He also sees the community gathering every day, first to meditate and then to work the land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you make a commitment to living simply,â&#x20AC;? Schmidt says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you commit to live in partnership with other people and life forms and commit to connecting yourself to what Wendell Barry called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the ground of all being.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the connection thingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the spirituality of land and life in general.â&#x20AC;?

Recycling parts of monastic tradition, Schmidt hopes to model â&#x20AC;&#x153;living with what we have on this earth in a way that is not damaging.â&#x20AC;? He claims it must be done in close community. Interested? www.patchworkfarms.org.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I have transferred my need for a spiritual focus to the land.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Some mornings just dawn with a seeping, sinking feelingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;days that seem to stall before they start. The blues are back. Not turquoise or sky blue, but the sort of permeating greasy gray-blue that decades of musicians, from Muddy Waters to the Rolling Stones, have tried to express and escape.

In Breakfast at Tiffanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Holly Golightly calls that feeling the â&#x20AC;&#x153;mean reds.â&#x20AC;?

Colorblind or not, she knew that the cure was coffee on the steps of Tiffanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and a morning of window shopping for diamonds.

But whatever color one calls it, if a trip to New York is out of the question, the ochre- and ďŹ re-cracker-colored spices of a ďŹ ery meal at Napa Indian cuisine hotspot Neelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s might just inject the right sort of color back into life. While Neela is Hindi for â&#x20AC;&#x153;blue,â&#x20AC;? (the restaurant is named for owner Neela Paniz), donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mistake this for just another house of blues. Paniz fuses California freshness with the richness of Indian culinary style and the vibrant spice and ďŹ&#x201A;avor at Neelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s would have pulled even Picasso out of blue period. 975 Clinton St., Napa.

CWT 1[PRZ A^bT 8aXbW ?dQ P 4d[^Vh The Black Rose Irish Pub and I had a bittersweet relationship, but I remember her fondly. The pub closed its doors forever on March 27 of this year. I remember Monday nights at the turn of the century when my gang of wannabe working-class Irish boys and I would head out for Smithwicks and Stout on our self-proclaimed Punk Rock Dart Night, the Poguesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summer in Siamâ&#x20AC;? ďŹ lling the air around us. I remember my ďŹ rst introduction to the bodhrĂĄn on traditional-music night and the fascination with the instrumentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simplicity, which I re-encountered on a Killianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-fueled journey through Ireland.

I remember my boyfriend and his friend, both now gone (God rest their wannabe working-class, Irish-boy souls), stumbling home with pride and awkwardly sharing the only two words they managed to glean from the Gaelic classes they took there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss walking those creaky wooden steps on cold rainy nights and squeezing into the back corner booth, surrounded by loud and lovely friends, Guinness and vinegar-drenched chips. May the road rise up to meet you, and may the wind be ever at your back, old friend.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;D.B.

The perfect spring day might be spent with a partner, shooting a round of golf or hiking down a wildflower-edged trail to Pinnacle Gulch Beach in Bodega Bay. After enjoying the bright blue skies and white-capped waters, finish the afternoon with a visit to the Bluewater Bistro at Doran Beach. Wind uphill on Heron Drive past the enclave of Bodega Harbour homes, arriving at the restaurant in time for the sunset.

Upstairs in the Fireside Lounge, perch at the bar for a glass of locally made wine, or sit at one of the handful of tables. All have expansive views of the 16th hole and the sand traps on the golf course bordering the beach. Order golf-ball-sized Bluewater Dungeness crab cakes paired with tomato-ginger chutney or a hot bowl of fresh salmon chowder, and watch the sun sink over the low hills of Bodega Head. Fill up on a blue-cheese burger, fresh snapper fish and chips, surf and turf, or a rustic Sonoma-style pizza. Share a piece of chocolate mousse cake to put a sweet topping on the evening.

All menu items are under $20, making the spectacular setting affordable for all diners.

On Thursdays, a wide variety of live music is offered from 5pm, along with martini specials.

Ensconced in the large couches, patrons stay warm themselves by the stone fireplace, even as the waves rumble and the wind whips through the lavender and rosemary landscaping outside. 21301 Heron Drive, Bodega Bay. 707.875.3513.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;S.D.

ATS A^RZ A^dVT Tc =^Xa The sun ďŹ nally makes a lasting appearance,

surrounded by California poppies and wild mustard as I reach the elusive destination of Red Rock Nude Beach just south of Stinson Beach in coastal Marin County.

Perched atop Highway 1, the parking lot, which feels more like a vista point or turnout over the rocky cliffs, hosts a trailhead that leads down a steep and stretching path of butterďŹ&#x201A;y-covered angelica and blue thistle plants.

Enormous, jagged rocks lie out between the last step of the trail and the lapping waves of the PaciďŹ c, prompting questions about the comfort of being naked on such uninviting seats. Further snooping along the rocky beach leads to boulders with narrow corridors that lead, with much relief, to softer and sandier shores. An old, naked man sits, slightly orange and rusting in the now bright sun. A younger, long-haired man, complete with joint in hand, makes his way onto the beach and lights up, bare ass exposed to the sea.

Several hours of surprising relaxation and comfort sprawled out naked on rocks bring on a glorious realization that the relentless, cold and depressing winter is ďŹ nally over.

Clothes back on, cheeks sun-kissed and grinning, the car rolls back through the Marin hills to the cloud-covered Rouge et Noir Marin French Cheese Co. Brie, salami, baguettes and mango-pepper jelly are eaten next to a quiet duck pond, ending a naked, dreamy and magical day in Marin.

Red Rock Beach, according to the San Francisco Bay Guardian, can be reach thusly: From Mill Valley, go north on Highway 1, following signs to Stinson Beach. Some 5.6 miles north of Muir Beach and 1 mile south of Stinson, look for milepost 11.3 and the dirt parking lots on either side of the road. If you reach Stinson, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone too far. 7500 Red Hill Road, Petaluma. 707.762.6001.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;D.B.

@D6?9

A0H<>=3 1DAA E8=4H0A3B s that a rainbow ďŹ&#x201A;ag I spy at the top of the drive? Alas, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only the red and green Portuguese ďŹ&#x201A;ag ďŹ&#x201A;ying over Raymond Burr Vineyards. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK and similar to wineries everywhere that parade their ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage and past professions. Here, a key difference in this wineryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story does get play in passing.

I

Perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beďŹ tting its namesake, the late actor legendary as television lawyer Perry Mason. Matter of fact, Burr didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wish to ďŹ&#x201A;y his own name across the label. While artist Hans Erniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burly Bacchus that appears on the label is only Burr-like, winery owner Robert Benevides decided after much reďŹ&#x201A;ection that it was best to name the winery in tribute to his longtime partner. Incredibly, after Burrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1993, the celebrity press pretended to discover his â&#x20AC;&#x153;secret life.â&#x20AC;?

Sure, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d only been with the same man for 35 years, with whom he raised coconut and cattle on a 4,000-acre ranch in Fiji before moving to the Dry Creek ranch.

Yeah, big shocker. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news to me: a much younger Burr actually played the wife-chopper Lars Thorwald in Alfred Hitchcockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rear Window.

The tasting room is unpretentious, funky and fun. There are plenty of picnic tables for warmer weather, and the interior is like a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s ofďŹ ce-den, with wood-paneled walls and shelves housing memorabilia, Emmy awards and miscellany that Burr picked up in his travels. In fact, Benevides (who stops by the tasting room most afternoons for a social drink or two) decided he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need some of that stuff, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of an ongoing garage sale featuring carved teak from Fiji and pewter tea service from England.

The wines are all estate-grown, but produced off-site.

The Chardonnays show barrel fermentation more than fruit, but the 2007 Chardonnay ($28) is somewhat reminiscent of a fat pat of butterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or foie grasâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;on a crisp slice of apple, with hints of cinnamon apple fritter. The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon ($38) leads with black licorice and cassis, lacquers the palate and ďŹ nishes long and dry with ďŹ ne, astringent tannins, while immediately enjoyable juicy black cherry and blueberry make the 2007 Cabernet Franc ($38) the takehome choice. Chardonnay and Cab not exotic enough? Be sure to make an appointment for greenhouse tours, held at 11am on weekends. Long before the grapes, Burr and Benevides cultivated orchidsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;commercially, for more than 20 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;producing hundreds of new hybrids of the hothouse ďŹ&#x201A;ower in all the colors of the rainbow.

THE BOHEMIAN

As the fish once ubiquitous to the North Bay area, the salmon has given its name to roads, a school, a beach, a community and a creek. From its headwaters two miles west of Occidental, Salmon Creek winds its way through some of the prettiest countryside and prime destinations in Sonoma County. The largest stream between Bodega Bay and the Russian River, Salmon Creek follows a 13-mile course from its origin to its mouth at the Pacific Ocean. The journey starts along the Bohemian Highway, where the creek passes through Freestone and flows behind the Osmosis Day Spa (adjacent). While receiving a massage in one of the outlying pagodas, spa clients listen to the streamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s white noise, and combine their sighs with those of the waters passing by.

Burbling along its path parallel to the Bohemian Highway, Salmon Creek combines with Nolan Creek and flows through the town of Bodega, home to the schoolhouse and church made famous in Alfred Hitchcockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film The Birds. The stream continues along the road bearing its name on the western slope of the coastal range mountains, flowing through a narrow canyon bordered by redwoods, firs and native ferns.

When it finally reaches the coast, the creek flows under the last of seven bridges at Highway 1, and runs alongside Bean Road, where an enclave of weathered beach houses form the Salmon Creek community. At long last it has reached its final destination, cutting across Salmon Creek Beach as it flows into the Pacific Ocean.

This beautiful piece of coastline is known for its rugged waves, loyal surfers and the great white sharks that take a bite of them now and then. At this point, the stream offers an alternative for kayakers and swimmers who know better than to get into the sea.

After stormy days, beachgoers scour the sands surrounding the creek for flotsam and jetsam that washes down the waterway. Sadly, the one thing they probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find are salmon, which have all but disappeared, leaving nothing behind but their name.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;S.D.

Syrah â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jah

Apples vs. Eggs

Reggae, reggae, everywhere, and not a drop to drink. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in the Napa Valley, whose reggae fans have had to drive an hour or more to see the actual stuff live and onstage instead of on Vimeo. That drought is over this weekend with the introduction of Reggae in the Valley, an all-day festival of positive vibes and conscious rhythms at the fairgrounds. In what will hopefully be an annual event, over seven reggae acts are scheduled to usher in the summertime festival season. Among them are David Kirtan from Barbados, Ras Indio from Belize, Ishi Dube from India and acts from Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own turf, including Rocker T, Mystic Roots and Midnight Sun. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even Napaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own C. R. Vibes. It all goes down on Saturday, April 24, at the Napa Valley Expo Fairgrounds. 575 Third St., Napa. 4pm to 11pm. $20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$25.

707.225.5649.

It happens every year, and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figure out why: Sebastopolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apple Blossom Festival always takes place on the same day as Petalumaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Butter & Eggs Day. Must we Sonoma County residents be forced to choose? Both boast plenty of food, frivolity and fun, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a tough decision for the festivalgoer. Who really hurt are the kids in band class expected to march in both parades. After all, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to line up in Sebastopol for the 10am parade, march down Main Street, hop on a bus and drive to Petaluma, line up on Fourth Street, march through downtown and whew! All this in a hot uniform and sometimes lugging a very heavy instrument to boot! Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hear it for the kids when both festivals take place on Saturday, April 24. Main Street and Ives Park in Sebastopol; downtown Petaluma. Sebastopol parade at 10am; Petaluma at noon. Both free.

Parsing Politics

The East Bay foursome the Shants were just taking a lazy weekend trip up to Monte Rio, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all. Some hiking, some barbecuing, maybe strumming some new tunes. But the magic charm of the redwoods took hold, and lackadaisical pleasures turned to musical endeavors. In a rustic cabin, the band set up some microphones and captured eight songs live, full of such immediacy that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been officially released as Russian River Songs. Though now residing in Oakland, members of the Shants come from such locales as South Louisiana, Minnesota and here in California. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figure we sound exactly like those geographies,â&#x20AC;? writes frontman Skip Allums. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sad, lush and vibrant; bleak and windy; and sunshine and green hills.â&#x20AC;?

They return to Sonoma County on Saturday, April 24, at the Lagunitas Tap Room. 1280 N. McDowell Blvd., Petaluma. 3pm.

Free. 707.778.8776.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Energy crisis.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tax relief.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voter revolt.â&#x20AC;? These are everyday phrases that we read in newspapers and take for granted.

UC Berkeley professor of linguistics and cognitive science George Lakoff doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. As the author of several books on language and politics, including the excellent Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Think of an Elephant: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate, Lakoff takes progressives to task for accepting and perpetuating the framework of language set forth by conservative think tanks.

Take â&#x20AC;&#x153;tax relief,â&#x20AC;? for exampleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one gets relief from sickness, from disease, from exhaustion. In this single phrase, adopted during the Bush administration, conservatives were able to dictate taxes as a plague instead of a patriotic duty.

David J lured back to performing by local tribute band efore this year, David J, bassist for the seminal goth band Bauhaus and the unlikely radio success story Love and Rockets, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really doing much in the way of playing live. He wrote, directed and scored a play on Edie Sedgwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. He spun obligatory DJ sets at nightclubs. He tromped around with a reunited Bauhaus, he played Coachella with Love and Rockets. He wrote screenplays for movies. But his solo material, highly dramatic and theatrical, had mostly been confined to the studio.

Leave it up to a tribute band to woo the subject of its musical homage back onto the stage. Luvâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Rockets, the local outďŹ t which covers Love and Rockets songs, opens for David J in Santa Rosa this weekend, the latest in a series of collaborative shows that have brought this supremely talented icon out of hibernation.

Almost more a theater piece than a concert, David Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s setsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;separated into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bouquets,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wreathsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Laurelsâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;conjure old Bauhaus material (he wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bela Lugosiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deadâ&#x20AC;?), storytelling (Andy Warhol and the Factory), cover songs (Nick Cave, Allen Ginsberg) and newer solo tracks. The only thing he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do is Love and Rockets songs, but with Luvâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Rockets opening, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to.

Adding to the ambiance is David Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice of instrumentation: a lone violin, an upright bass and a piano. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it. With such spare accompaniment behind him, and in small glasses and a compact hat, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tempting to expect a quiet, casual show. But has David J ever done anything quietly or casually? This is the guy who created such images as virginal brides ďŹ ling past tombs strewn with dead ďŹ&#x201A;owers, and made them stick to the hearts of a million disaffected Reagan youths. Expect the unexpected when David J plays with Luvâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Rockets on Friday, April 24, at Chrome Lotus. 501 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa. 9pm. $12. www.chromelotussr.com.

heyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to be insane in the brain to let opportunity slip them by, as longtime weed champions Cypress Hill release Rise Up this week on April 20, aka 4-20, aka the day all dedicated stoners either call in â&#x20AC;&#x153;sickâ&#x20AC;? to work or mysteriously disappear at 4:15pm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Light It Upâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pass the Dutchâ&#x20AC;? are just two of the pot championsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new odes. . . . â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doobie Ashtrayâ&#x20AC;? rapper Devin the Dude comes blunted this Tuesday with Suite #420, lending his lyrical head-nod to future classics like â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Get Highâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimate High.â&#x20AC;? . . . SoCal producer emeritus Madlib, he of the underground cheeba classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Most Blunted,â&#x20AC;? drops an instrumental collection titled 420 Chalice Allstars, perfectly constructed for overcast afternoons with the Zippo.

Of course, Willie Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting in on the act this April 20, too, although Country Music isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t at all like Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent pot-themed reggae albumâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just a host of old-fashioned chestnuts like the Louvin Brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Goneâ&#x20AC;? and Merle Travisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dark as a Dungeon,â&#x20AC;? and no mention of the green leafy at all. . . . Merle Haggard, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been famous for extolling the virtues of lighting upâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;despite his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okie from Muskogeeâ&#x20AC;? line about not smoking marijuana in the Oklahoma townâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;also releases I Am What I Am. The 1960s psych-rock pioneer Roky Erickson teams up with the great Austin band Okkervil River for True Love Cast Out All Evil, a remarkable return to form after years of drug problems plagued the 13th Floor Elevators singer. . . . And would it truly be 4-20 without the Grateful Dead? The vault of Jerry Garcia & Co. is opened for Crimson, White & Indigo: Philadelphia, July 7, 1989, a four-disc set chronicling the high times between Garciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coma and keyboardist Brent Mydlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death.

But ultimately, the 4-20 Lifetime Achievement Award must be presented to the Kottonmouth Kings (above).

The bong-toting barons of all things cannabis released Fire It Up the last time April 20 fell on a new-release day, in 2004, and this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Long Live the Kings continues an epic streak of sinsemilla songwriting, with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great When Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re High,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Smoke,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reefer Madness,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let the Indo Blowâ&#x20AC;? and the plain and simple â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Do Drugs.â&#x20AC;?

THE BOHEMIAN

at Metheny is jazzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eternal teenager, forever fiddling with knobs and effects, playing as many noodling notes as possible, and tonight, on Easter Sunday, calling at 11:30pm to talk about his new project, the musical equivalent of the ultimate remote-control car.

One forgives Metheny, and not just for calling so late. The musical remotecontrol car heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been playing withâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;called an â&#x20AC;&#x153;orchestrionâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;is something worth getting excited about. Think of a player piano. Then think of a whole collection of drums, vibes, bells and homemade noisemaking contraptions. Then imagine that these dozens of instruments, each creating simultaneous and unique sounds, are controlled by just one person in the center of the stage through his electric guitar.

Metheny does not use the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;dude,â&#x20AC;? but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s implied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are going really crazy,â&#x20AC;? the 17-time Grammy winner says, having just returned from a tour of Europe with the orchestrion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never gotten a reaction like that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something very unusual. But then again, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never really been a concert like this.â&#x20AC;?

There have, however, been orchestrions, albeit about a hundred years ago. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen one at a museum. Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a smaller scale orchestrion in the

center of a carousel. As outgrowths of player pianos, they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;the first way a composer could present their music without actually being in the room,â&#x20AC;? says Metheny, adding that no real recordings exist of early orchestrions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be a recording of them, because they were the recording!â&#x20AC;?

Methenyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in orchestrions brimmed for years until he discovered that sufficient technology existed to dictate the force of each note played and to send signals to multiple instruments from one control center. Solenoidsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;those magnetic coils that trigger pinball flippersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;strike each separate instrument, reacting to Methenyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guitar pick and the places where his fingers fret the strings. It sounds crazy. It is crazy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a match of the 19th century and the 21st century,â&#x20AC;? Metheny laughs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of like we skipped the 20th century. My experience in the areas of synths and cords and wires and knobsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown up with all that stuff.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a big deal for me to work with those elements in a musical way. But to have an output system thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acoustic in nature, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best of both worlds to me.â&#x20AC;?

A measure of his success is that the recording of this project, Orchestrion, sounds almost exactly like a regular Pat Metheny album. There is no trace of novelty or gimmick in the music; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layered with actual improvisation without being pre-programmed.

Whether or not itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your thing, Metheny says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it does get people talking, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question about it. It challenges a lot of people.â&#x20AC;?

In what way? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a lot of people, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really about their fear of technology or their fear of something breaking,â&#x20AC;? says Metheny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you afraid itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna break?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a guitar player. A string could break at any minute, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing to stop it from happening. I have to be prepared for that moment. This is like that too.â&#x20AC;?

Metheny continues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next question might be, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you afraid that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna lose the interaction?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well, you know, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you ask that of anybody who plays a solo concert? Yeah, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to you to make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting and cool.

Or that same person might say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you replacing other musicians?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well, when Walt Disney made Bambi, did a Hollywood deer lose a job? No! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different form, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a completely different way of doing things.â&#x20AC;?

This tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set listâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Methenyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calling late because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been loading the entire orchestrion into a trailer all dayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;presents Orchestrion tracks with reworked arrangements of classic material. And along with performing for couples on dates, Metheny looks forward on this tour to finally meeting the â&#x20AC;&#x153;orchestrion nutsâ&#x20AC;? spread out all over the country that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been getting emails from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since the album came out, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard from the other 23 people in the world who are building instruments like this,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of these guys know each other. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know that other people are doing it. So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become a sort of clearinghouse for all these wacky people out there who are doing amazing, interesting things.â&#x20AC;?

Pat Metheny brings his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Orchestrionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tour to town on Sunday, April 25, at the Napa Valley Opera House (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;One of my favorite places to play in the world,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he says). 1030 Main St., Napa. 7pm. $55â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$75. 707.226.7372.

103 8B 102:

SRJCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Greaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; returns the show to its basics thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something about this show that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iguess seems to capture our collective psyche,â&#x20AC;? muses Laura Downing-Lee, who teaches acting at SRJC and is directing its upcoming production of Grease. When first approaching this raging, rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll behemoth, Downing-Lee had to decide which version of Grease she wanted to perform. Grease has changed quite a bit since the show first appeared on Broadway in 1972, racking up a whopping 3,388 performances in its record-breaking nine-year run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a whole generation of people who grew up with the movie,â&#x20AC;? she explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen the play, and a lot of people are surprised at how different it is. For one thing, some of the best-loved songs in the movie were never in the play.â&#x20AC;?

These include â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sandy,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopelessly Devoted to Youâ&#x20AC;? and (believe it or not) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the One That I Love,â&#x20AC;? the movie-ending crowd-pleaser that pretty much defines the show. Downing-Lee eventually gained permission to put all of those songs into the SRJC version. According to Downing-Lee, the music in Grease is better than some people realize. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you pay attention,â&#x20AC;? she argues, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the music in Grease is actually a series of spoofs of popular songs from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s. Some are very broad satire and others are more low-key, but when you look at the play closely, you see that there is some very sophisticated commentary on the music of the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This,â&#x20AC;? she continues, â&#x20AC;&#x153;was a very significant period in the evolution of rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll music. So in Grease, while the songs themselves arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t terribly sophisticated, the level of commentary they are making is very sophisticated. Either way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole lot of fun!â&#x20AC;?

Grease runs April 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 2 in the Burbank Auditorium at SRJC, 1501 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa. $12â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$18. 707.527.4343.

The Yes Men save SSU students, at least hen it comes to a burnable fuel, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more plentiful than whale blubber? Human blubber, of course. Introducing vivoleum, the fuel of the futureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not to mention the pastâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that finds a solution to global warming and our burgeoning energy crisis through a nice calorie-rich diet. Meet Reggie. Reggie, an ExxonMobil employee whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been exposed to too many toxins, is, in his own words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;going to die anyway.â&#x20AC;? So why shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he help those left behind? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glad to!

Interviewed after singing a few refrains of â&#x20AC;&#x153;You Light Up My Life,â&#x20AC;? Reggie says that he would like to be the candle burning on a cafe table when lovers first meet.

Transformed into vivoleum, Reggie can do just that. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glad to be of service.

Some 500 lunchtime attendees of a Canadian energy conference learned more than they wanted to about vivoleum and Reggie in 2008, watching a tribute video to the vanquished janitor as they unwittingly held lighted candles shaped in his image. The lunchers also detected a foul smell. While hair had been placed in the candles to give them a noxious odor, those unfamiliar might be forgiven for thinking it to be the posthumous scent of Reggie himself. The Yes Men had pulled another prank.

The Yes Men, Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, regularly pose as corporate hacks to soberly apologize for such corporate wrongs as the Bhopal disaster or to amend the U.S. Chamber of Commerceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stand on climate change or to end the Iraq War on behalf of the U.S. government. Masters of the bland, the Yes Men recently unveiled their latest Exxon-Mobil initiative, a CEO survival suit that allows the richest guys in the room to travel freely through an apocalyptic disaster, safely encased in inflatables.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most shocking about the Yes Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pranks are not the stunts themselves, but the mild acceptance with which their regularly outrageous statements and actions are accepted by both the press and corporate citizens.

Bichlbaum and Bonanno travel to SSU to spread the word about not simply accepting the outrageous behavior of others on Wednesday, April 28, at the Warren Auditorium, 1801 E. Cotati Ave., Rohnert Park. 7:30pm. $10; free, students and faculty. 707.664.2382.

;>E4 H>DA <>C74A Earth Day Events, Part II

hile weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re of the strict opinion that every day is Earth Day andâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like women, African Americans and the LBGTQ communityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;does not need to be ghettoized with its own month or day, we appear to be in the distinct minority. Everyone else, it seems, likes to have one day a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for the past 40 years, that isâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to stop and reflect upon the great honor that it is to live upon this good green planet. And so it is that we agree to join the merriment, looking to some of the remaining celebrations (lots of folks did their thing last weekend).

Marin County gets its dirt on big time, taking over the College of Marin campus for a festival that features Sen. Mark Leno; Dirt Diva Annie Spiegelman; author Eric Corey Freed of Green Building for Dummies; sustainability professor Andres Edwards; music from members of Hot Buttered Rum, New Monsoon and Zero teaming up; Joy of Cookingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terri Garthwaite performing with niece Oona Garthwaite; perennial novelty Dr. Elmo and kids stuff, bien sur; an Iron Chefâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; style cook-off with masters from Whole Foods Market; food from Lydiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lovinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (bastion of the annual Harmony Festival); and the ubiquitous more. Saturday, April 24, from 11am to 6pm. COM, 835 College Ave., Kentfield.

Free. www.earthdaymarin.org.

Healdsburg formally dedicates Giorgi Park with its April 24 Earth Day party, including a tree climbing demonstration, bird rescue displays, recycled art, plenty of food and fun. Dedication at 10:30am; fest until 2pm.

540 University Ave. Roseland Elementary celebrates the earth and its diversity on Sunday, April 25, from noon to 5pm at the school campus, 950 Sebastopol Road, Santa Rosa.

707.829.3460.

Meanwhile, the Environmental Education Coalition of Napa County gets all earthy in a big way with a large gathering of community, civic and government groups and agencies setting up booths in Napaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Veterans Memorial Park with plenty of live music and even a green fashion show at 2pm. Food, beer and wine? Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oh. 11am to 5pm. Third and Main streets, Napa. 707.944.0799.
