Who’s the Victim?

There is something seriously broken in San Jose when a community center is a “parasite” but San Jose police and firefighters are supposed to be victims because they take a paycut or face layoffs (“Uncertainty Over LGBT Pride Parade, Billy DeFrank Center,” SJInside.com, April 26).

Stop the Assault Legal medical marijuana dispensaries all over California have received orders

from the U.S. Attorney’s office to go out of business within 30 days or face federal prosecution and asset forfeiture.

The federal assault on California’s legal medical marijuana industry is an attack on the sovereignty of California and Californians. It is clearly intended to destroy a legitimate source of livelihood for thousands of Californians, forcing patients who need medical marijuana to deal with outlaws.

Democratic President Obama recently stated his opposition to ending the prohibition of marijuana.

The federal government is building a police state by crushing legal medical marijuana, terrorizing local officials who try to regulate marijuana and attacking marijuana growers and providers with an ever-expanding police force.

This ugly world of violence,

corruption economic waste and corruption, environmental destruction will grow unless we unite to stand in resistance.

If we remain silent in the face of this federal assault on a legitimate California industry, who will they come for next?

As a candidate for U.S. Congress, I have sworn to uphold the Constitutions of the United States and California.

I demand that the U.S. Government immediately stop and reverse its unconstitutional assault on the legal medical marijuana industry in California.

TECHNOLOGY & CULTURE IN SILICON VALLEY BY BRENDAN NYSTEDT updated daily on the web: www.sv411.com twitter: 5sv411 facebook: siliconvalley411

Need Funding?

Hang Out With Investors on G+ Google’s social networking site, Google+, is still struggling to pick up real traction with users, so the company is trying to plug its unique features any way it can. Google has now started to promote the Hangout feature with the opportunity to talk to venture capitalists with “VC Office Hours.” Bradley Horowitz, VP in charge of G+, announced the feature. He’ll be handpicking curious parties and startup founders to talk to investors. Horowitz posted onto his G+ page that:

Evernote Buys Penultimate Top-selling iOS note-taking software Penultimate has been acquired by note-synching company Evernote. Mountain View–based Evernote is also getting the developer behind the app as part of the deal. Ben Zotto will remain in charge of the app’s development, and Evernote claims the app will even remain separate from Evernote’s app. Zotto is also expected to “lead the effort to put handwriting and digital-ink functionality into other Evernote products and platforms, so you’ll see handwriting cross-pollination popping up everywhere.”

Although handwriting recognition still isn’t an iPad feature, apps like Penultimate have filled the void left by Apple’s nostylus policy. Evernote’s Ritescript technology is a handwriting recognition engine that could make its way into the simple note-taking program. Evernote has the back-end technology to drive a stake through the heart of paper notebooks— enabling Apple’s platform to compete with the pen-based features of Microsoft’s upcoming Windows RT tablets.—BN

“For each session, we’re hoping to find 6–8 interested and interesting entrepreneurs, students, or fans of tech investing to lob questions at the respective VCs. We’ll do 30m or so sessions that we’ll broadcast and archive for posterity. We’ll announce each VC session with an individual G+ post… and if you’d like to be part of the interview panel, you can respond in the comments. I’ll select a group of panelists from those that self-nominate.”

For anyone worried about Forstall’s holdings in Apple, please don’t. Not only is he now unquestionably rich, but according to AppleInsider, he’s also set to receive more stock soon:

Could this be the future of entrepreneurship? Perhaps in the future, more remote meetings between investors and VCs could be commonplace. Something tells me that when there are copious amounts of money involved one really needs to make direct eye contact and read body language.—BN

“Forstall is due to benefit from another 100,000 restricted stock units that fully vest in 2014, and 150,000 restricted units that vest in 2013 and 2016, should he stay with the company.”

Bartz Received $3M Severance From Yahoo!

Yahoo’s dearly departed CEO Carol

Bartz received a hell of a severance package according to Bloomberg Businessweek. Bartz, who became Yahoo’s CEO in 2009, was paid a sum total of $16.4M in her last year as CEO, including a $3M severance payment and 416,000 stock options.

Bartz was also given 5 million stock options when Yahoo first hired her but hasn’t received them due to the price targets set. Should her successor, Scott Thompson, do well

by Yahoo, she could have an even larger piece of Yahoo to her name.

Bloomberg reports: “Even if the 5 million options never vest, Bartz has prospered from other grants that she received during her rocky tenure. For instance, last year she realized a $6.5 million gain by exercising more than 462,000 other stock options that had vested, according to Friday’s filing.”

Not bad for a CEO who had little effect on staving off the company’s bad direction during her tenure.

Yahoo’s finally undergoing the difficult restructuring it needed— without her.—BN

This eclectic station at Foothill College celebrated its 50th anniversary a few years ago, and the Month of Mayhem is always one of the highlights of the year. For 2012, the station will present specials on Hank Williams, the Rova Saxophone

Quartet, Fela Kuti and John Cage.

And that only scratches the surface.

Throughout this month, almost 60 specials will go down.

For me, KFJC represents everything that college radio is supposed to be. That is, there are no Tom Shane commercials, no authoritarian formats and no mercy. If someone wants to play children’s music from the ’50s, followed by Yanni at the wrong speed, followed by a death metal band called Regurgitated Cattle Fetus, he or she is more than welcome to do that.

As a listener, one gets a fun glimpse into the DJ’s head and some insight into the DJ’s own twisted tastes.

That’s right—there’s an actual human creature choosing what music gets played. What a concept!

With such a station, no expectations

are possible or necessary. Listeners tune in precisely because they don’t have any idea what will happen.

That’s why they listen. While the more mainstream folks might crave predictability and need their favorite hit songs repeated over and over again between insurance commercials, a KFJC fan is a natural iconoclast who despises such soul-sapping mediocrity.

I first discovered KFJC around 1985, and it changed my life for the better, so much that I can’t even begin to estimate its influence. Thanks to KFJC, I learned how to purge the tortuous habituation effects of commercial radio and abandon all delusional expectations of what song should come next.

As a result, my musical taste matured, my life became richer and I discovered entire new realms of sonic possibilities. I developed much more appreciation for bands that prioritized constant change and exploration over those who insisted on releasing the same type of music for years and years.

In that sense, nowadays when I write a story on esoteric Buddhism,

followed by a column on industrial wastelands, followed by a column on networked-computer art installations and then one applying Deleuze and Guattari to dive bars, I can definitely trace the influence back to KFJC. If I had to write the same stuff over and over again, serious depression would ensue.

This Month of Mayhem KFJC brings us yet still more eclectic programs. Futurist Music and the First 100 Years of Noise (May 17, 7pm) will concentrate on Luigi Russolo, who wrote the now-heralded The Art of Noises in 1913. He built his own noise machines, thus adding a sonic component to Italian Futurism, officially the first art movement to use propaganda as a weapon.

Any manifesto must declare the end of something else, and the Futurists wrote lots of them. Futurist painters and sculptors worshipped the d dynamism of the industrial world and aadvocated the overthrow of just about eeverything.

Another Mayhem special will fo focus on Tiny Tim, one of the m most ridiculed and misunderstood m musicians of the twentieth century.

M Many probably do not know that T Tiny was a respected musicologist and ex expert in early-20th-century song.

His encyclopedic knowledge was impossible to contain.

During Mayhem, we will also experience tributes to Dutch techno, the Hammond B-3 organ, Sun Ra, the spoken word and even the saxophone’s role in surf music. All that in one month. Throw in free improvisation, Welsh crooners and sludge metal and you’ve got one merry, merry month of May. Perhaps most importantly, there will be a celebration of the late Jack Diamond, one of the all-time greats at KFJC, who passed away in 2010. About 20 years ago, Diamond introduced a whole new generation to what became revitalized as “space-age bachelor-pad music.” He also featured tiki, lounge, exotica and anything appealing to connoisseurs of high camp. He will be dearly missed.

How government and moralists on both ends of the political spectrum want to control what you do in bed

Sex War of individual sexual behavior has been offset by new repression of sexual freedoms during the Obama presidency.

Just this week, for instance, Vice President Joe Biden ventured his support of same-sex marriage, setting off some careful rhetorical sidestepping by the president’s team.

Metro is pleased to be the first publication to publish selections from the newest edition of this important work.

Klein says he appreciates this area’s progressive approach to gender equality and tolerance of alternative lifestyles but believes that Silicon Valley is subject to the same sex-negative government, media and religious influences as

HE Sexual Disaster Industry involves federal and local government, conservative religion, so-called morality organizations, right-wing think tanks, victim-parade daytime talk shows and news programs looking for a bump (“Isn’t it awful the way people go to topless coffee bars? Film at 11!”). Honorable mention goes to the psychotherapy profession (current motto: “You’re sure you were never molested?”) and nighttime adrenalin-rush crime shows like CSI. Acting independently (while reacting to common cultural imperatives and personal anxieties), these institutions dramatically overstate the amount of sexual violence, sexual

Palo Alto–based psychologist Marty Klein is the author of seven books and has practiced as a licensed marriage and family counselor in Silicon Valley for 27 years. His varied career includes teaching sexuality at Stanford University, serving as an expert witness in state and federal cases and speaking with parents at schools from San Jose to Mountain View about how to discuss sex with their kids.

His award-winning book, America’s War on Sex: The Continuing Attack on Law, Lust, and Liberty, was first published six years ago during the George W. Bush presidency. Last week, the second edition was released with new material showing that progress toward tolerance

elsewhere. “California has very strict laws about pornography. Our local universities have some of the same unfortunate speech codes. And our local governments have the same misguided attitudes about sex work and sexual entertainment as elsewhere.”

Filtering and managing access to digital sexual content is another facet to Silicon Valley’s role in the sex war. “We are very aware of our responsibility to the rest of the country,” Klein says. “We’re certainly a key player in the national struggle to find a balance between giving parents options to control what their kids see while permitting adults access to sexually oriented material on the other hand.”

danger, sexual immorality and sexual freakiness around us. They’ve created the illusion of an enormous sexual “other” living in our midst—tens of millions of sexual predators, bisexual sadomasochist anarchists, satanic molesting sex educators, wanton husband-stealing strippers and malevolent pornographers.

Every industry promotes basic assumptions about the world in which its customers live and how its products improve lives. Despite a lack of evidence— despite contradictory evidence—the Sexual Disaster Industry has effectively persuaded Americans that the following (unproven) beliefs are principles of modern life (which, of course, justify the

Rex Stewart, New Leaf ’s coowner and general manager, said the company saw an opportunity in Evergreen, a community in southeast San Jose.

“I believe it was a neighborhood that didn’t have a place to shop, and that kind of bothered us,” he said. “It

was like an upscale food desert in a way.”

Like bookstores, record shops and newspapers, the independently owned grocery store must struggle to stay alive. While there are a few exceptions (hello, Gene’s Fine Foods), the independent grocer is becoming an endangered species in Silicon Valley and beyond.

After 63 years of business, Cosentino’s Markets closed its handful of Silicon Valley–based grocery stores last year. The family of owners wanted to retire and were feeling the pressure from deep-pocketed stores like Costco, Safeway, Wal-Mart, Whole Foods and other heavies in the supermarket business.

The closure of Cosentino’s followed that of PW Markets, another Silicon Valley–based chain of grocery stores.

PW Markets called it quits in 2010 after nearly 70 years of business.

While big-box stores like Costco and Wal-Mart can drive small stores

business, Stewart said New Leaf out of business has been able to thrive in the organic, natural foods niche. He said New Leaf competes with Whole Foods by trying to create an enjoyable shopping experience and striving to become part of the community.

The store donates 10 percent of its profits to local groups and gives employees two paid days to work for local nonprofits and community groups of their choice.

“Community is in our name,” Stewart told me. “We try to make connections and give back. We try to make the store more than just a grocery store.”

The new store on Silver Creek Valley Road is located where one of the closed PW Markets was. New Leaf operates five markets in Santa Cruz County and one in Half Moon Bay. Another store is in the works in Pleasanton.

The roots of the store go back to 1985 when Santa Cruz resident Scott Roseman purchased the floundering Our Neighborhood Food Co-Op. The store became the Westside Community Market and then New Leaf Community Market. Roseman owns the company along with Stewart.

The Evergreen store is out of

the way unless you live in the Silver Creek/Evergreen neighborhood, but it’s a refreshing change. It’s smaller than your typical Safeway or Whole Foods but is stocked with higher-quality food and products. New Leaf is basically like an independently owned Whole Foods with a wide selection of local and nonlocal organically grown produce and healthy and organic products.

New Leaf competes with Whole Foods by trying to create an enjoyable shopping experience and striving to become part of the community In addition to the groceries and produce, the deli alone is worth a visit.

The New Leaf folks make as good a sandwich as anywhere else in Silicon Valley. From the deli case, the “coastal kale salad” is one of my all-time favorites. I’ve tried to make it at home, but it’s never as good as New Leaf ’s.

There are a few touches that separate the store from the corporate crowd.

There are pots of live plants growing above the aisles. I think the juice bar blows away anything you’ll find at Jamba Juice. And there are always copies of the beautifully photographed Surfer’s Journal for sale at the checkout line, surfing pornography for wave riders and an ode to the company’s Santa Cruz roots.

The store is holding its grand opening from noon to 4pm on May 19.

The parking-lot event will include free food, giveaways and vendor displays.

The best part is all the food. I’m hoping the Market raises the profile of downtown’s food scene throughout the city’s center. To help get things rolling, DISHCRAWL is hosting DISHWALK on May 12 (2–5pm), a culinary tour of San Pedro Square Market and downtown at large.

For $29 ($39 the day of the event), participants can sample 10 dishes from different restaurants. There will also be $2–$4 drink specials at participating restaurants, which include LITTLE CHEF COUNTER, VINO VINO, LA PINATA, SONOMA CHICKEN, SABOR, MYTH, FIREHOUSE, ON A ROLL and FOOD SOCIAL’S HALAL. The self-guided tour will include musical entertainment along the way with musicians PAUL KIMBALL (Careless Hearts), KAILA D’SA, VIVIENNE CASTILLO and NATE CASTILLO. Email hi@dishcrawl.com with questions.

Meanwhile, Saratoga’s BONNETS & BLOOMS wine stroll on May 12 will feature 22 boutique wineries, many of them from Santa Cruz, including Burrell School, Loma Prieta, Poetic Cellars, Dancing Creek, Pelican Ranch and Rexford Wines all pouring at shops and restaurants with live music to accompany. Specialty foods will be on sale from local producers like Tabitha’s Friend in Cheeses Jam Company and Delk’s Bees (infused honeys from Aptos). Wines from participating wineries will be on sale as well.

Tickets are $40 in advance and $45 day of the event. Go on the web to saratogachamber.org or call 408.867.0753 for information.

You can lead kids to the salad bar, but can you get them to eat? The staff at San Jose’s Payne Elementary School hopes so. On May 15, HBO debuts a documentary series called THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION that shines a light on America’s obesity epidemic.

As part of the show’s outreach efforts, the Whole Kids Foundation and GLOBALTAP selected Payne Elementary School to be one of 12 across the country to install 100 salad bars and water-filtration systems. Rick Kessler, food-services consultant for the Moreland School District, applied for the grant for the salad bars and water filters through Whole Foods Market’s Whole Kids Foundation. The district received five salad bars and put them to use immediately after receiving them last week.

“They look more appealing,” said Kessler. “The kids were really excited about it. Hopefully, it will encourage more kids to eat salads.”—Stett Holbrook

To me, Ritchie seemed the perfect Original Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waiter. Wearing a tuxedo as did all Original Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waiters, the looming Ritchie took control of a table the minute he approached with his booming, gruff voice. He would crack a joke at someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expense, instantly charming the table with his wit and smooth professionalism. You were in good hands with Ritchie, and diners regularly requested to sit in his section. He was a showman as much as he was a waiter.

Ritchie was best known for the impromptu rhymes he would compose about diners, bellowing them for unsuspecting guests celebrating birthdays or anniversaries. The whole dining room would turn around to watch and listen as Ritchie roasted a thoroughly embarrassed diner as he rapped his little ditty. The performance ended with applause and laughs all around.

Little did I know that when I was interviewing Ritchie for my story he was interviewing me, asking me where I went to high school, how long Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been at the Metro and other personal details. I had ďŹ nished my interview and was taking the last bites of lunch in a quiet booth when Ritchie appeared before me and in his fog cutter of a voice began to deliver a chanting rhyme about me that he had scribbled onto a white paper bag when I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking. For a second, I thought he must be delivering his oratory to someone else, but then in a brief panic I realized I was his victim. I squirmed, red-faced, as all eyes were on me, but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help admire his sneaky ploy. He got me good.

When he was done, Ritchie gave me the paper bag with his furtive scrawl on it, and we said our goodbyes. I carried that paper bag in my briefcase for years, and every time I came upon it and read Ritchieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impromptu rap, it made me smile. Ritchie made a lot of people smile over the years. He will be missed.

There was been no word yet on a memorial service.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Stett Holbrook

*thu

GG AMOS BAND Poor House Bistro, San Jose Thu – 6pm; free San Jose Jazz continues its Blues Thursday with GG Amos, a fixture on the Bay Area scene now, after growing up in Sacramento. While many artists play the West Coast sound, she represents, with the same passion that rappers call out their area code. In fact, her most recent single is simply called “West Coast,” and pays tribute to one of the legends of the sound, Johnny Heartsman. The funny thing is that the song won’t match many listeners’ pre-conceived notions about West Coast blues, especially if they’re only familiar with the up-tempo jump style.

This song is as cool and sultry as it gets, but that’s Amos. As a guitarist and vocalist she’s almost neo-soul, but her jazz influences and heavenly vocals ground her unmistakably in the West Coast tradition. (SP)

DRUNKEN STARFIGHTER Caravan, San Jose Fri – 9pm; free Han shot first. The Eight Demons of Kimon. These are the sort of topics I imagine Drunken Starfighter would like to expound upon in the nerdliest fashion possible. Hailing from Mos Eisley,

The Refuge, San Jose Fri – 6pm;

Blank Club, San Jose Fri – 9pm; $8 Maxx Cabello Jr has gotten a lot of praise for his guitar chops.

Legends like Dick Dale and Guitar Shorty have all tipped their hats to the young emerging musician.

Even the late John Lee Hooker is on record saying the boy can really play. But Cabello is also a talented singer and songwriter. He writes

MON PUBIS I have a suspicion that Mon Pubis secretly wants to be the Melvins. The only problem is they just can’t tear themselves away from their undying love affair with folk and traditional blues.

The result is like trance-rock, or dare I say folk-sludge? None of that fits, ’cause musically it’s all over the map. They’ve got synthy parts, bluesy songs and heavy metal sections, yet despite all the different music they’re playing,

every song has a very similar sound, which is to say it all feels the same—trippy. The music swirls around you—acoustic, metal, electronic—repeating and finding a strange groove that can only be described as “trance.” And I’m not referring to the subgenre of techno music; I mean an altered state of consciousness. (AC)

FOSSIL TREE Art Boutiki, San Jose Fri – 6pm; $8 The last five years have seen an explosion of indie-rock bands influenced by the Smiths, bringing some straight-up, stay-inschool highmindedness to the alternapop scene.

CITY IN TRANSIT

DISHWALK

Nickel City, San Jose Sat – 6pm; $8

San Pedro Square Market, San Jose Sat – 2pm; $29/$39

Ah, yes, give me some sweet, romantic pop-punk, just the way I like it. City in Transit have some big hearts attached to those distorted guitars. They are, for a lack of better term, “mellow emo.”

What differentiates them from just your standard, run-of-the-mill, meat-and-potatoes, emo-punk band is that they don’t sound at all tortured and they even know how to take the volume and aggression down a few notches. It’s sweet, heavily harmonized punk with upbeat, loving lyrics. It’s the kind of stuff parents hope their 14year-olds listen to (especially when BrokeNcyde is one of the other options). (AC)

Dishwalk would be a pretty cool name for a band, but in fact, it’s much bigger than that. It’s a downtown experiment, basically, and a new way for people to experience food and music in San Jose. Described as a “foodie treasure hunt,” it’s a self-guided tour that lets the ticketholder sample 10 dishes at participating restaurants while musicians stage a series of guerilla “pop-up shows” from 2 to 5pm. Artists are subject to change, but include Paul Kimball of local favorites Careless Hearts, indie rockers Two Star Hotel, Kaila D’Sa, Vivienne and Nate Castillo. (SP)

Even if you haven’t ridden a bike in years, it is more than likely that if you hopped back on, it would all come back to you in an instant. After

all, as the saying goes, “It’s just like riding a bike, you never forget.” Two new exhibits currently on display at the de Saisset Museum at Santa Clara University pay homage to this humble yet amazing contraption.

Gallery One of the de Saisset is now showing “Chain Reaction: Artists Consider the Bicycle,” dedicated to exploring the beauty, utility and creativity of this unique mode of transportation.

The exhibit features 25 works by nine artists, who explore the various parts and uses of the bike through photographs, paintings, drawings and assemblages.

Vanessa Marsh’s C-print Bikers conveys the sense of solidarity

felt when riding alongside dear companions; Inez Storer’s collagelike piece Bicycle Race tells a familiar story in a unique way; Katina Huston’s Mondrian Says 3 takes a classic work and gives it a bicyclethemed spin; and Carolina Fontoura Alzaga’s Connect 14 transforms parts of bikes into something else entirely.

Throughout all of the pieces cruises the idea that bicycles are versatile objects worthy of celebration.

Gallery Two displays “Clunkers to MTBs: The Evolution of the Mountain Bike.” In the 1970s, biking enthusiasts began testing the limitations of their fixed bikes by “clunking” down the hills in the North Bay and parts of the valley, including Cupertino. Since then, the mountain bike has been transformed into a sleek but powerful piece of equipment capable of threading its way through the finest veinlike trails and gripping the slickest of rocks.

This transformation first took place at the hands of Joe Breezer, the man who brought the mountain bike—and mountain-bike

Seeing Cycles

culture—to life. “Clunkers to MTBs” highlights the ideas that piggybacked off Breezer’s original prototype.

On the wall by the entrance hang three different Fox shock absorbers framed by viewing boxes that give the sense that they are more art than tool.

The exhibit comprises many different mountain bikes and two videos that impart impressive movement to the currently immobile objects. The bikes themselves have lived many lives, as evidenced by the dirt etched into the grooves of their wheels. The show features mountain bikes created by Santa Cruz Bicycles, Marin Bikes and Ibis Bikes, among others.

Both exhibits adeptly reflect the many ways bicycles can be used and what they mean to us. On the Santa Clara University campus, for instance, bikes are not simply a mode of transportation, though they certainly are useful in getting to class on time.

For many years, the university has been home to the Cycling Club, which includes both a competitive racing team and a more recreational mountain biking group that explores the many trails near the campus.

Bikes are also part of the sustainability effort at SCU. The campus Office of Sustainability supports the Bicycle Commuter Program, bike-to-work day and offers refurbished bikes as the prize for the Energy Challenge that takes place at the university each year.

Of course, bikes also allow students to visit friends off-campus, tote groceries back to their dorm rooms or houses and get from place to place in a more eco-friendly way.

There are few things that are more enjoyable than taking a ride with friends on a breezy, sunny day and with summer just around the corner, there is no better time to dust off your bike and take it for a spin.

BOOK

K_\ I\Xc ?%G% EVERY FEW YEARS, something comes along to make H.P. Lovecraft cool again.

In the ’60s and ’70s, it was rock and metal bands referencing his myths and monsters. In the ’80s, it was Stuart Gordon’s films Re-animator and From Beyond, based on minor Lovecraft stories that nonetheless had enough raw material in them to inspire two outrageous cult horror flicks. More recently, it’s been Neil Gaiman’s tireless crusading on Lovecraft’s behalf. And while Sam Raimi borrowed Lovecraft’s fake-book-of-the-dead Necronomicon for his Evil Dead movies, Joss Whedon did him one better this year in The Cabin in the Woods, basically stealing Lovecraft’s entire mythos without crediting the source.

But while the legend of Lovecraft seems to grow exponentially, his readership doesn’t. That’s because while the underlying ideas are mind-blowing, Lovecraft’s writing style can be a chore, especially when he piles on the melodramatic dread. Gaiman practically does a standup routine about this in the BBC radio documentary Weird Tales, rattling off his favorite Lovecraftian descriptive tics like “eldritch” and K_\ Cfm\ZiX]k “gibbous.” That’s why the just-released graphic novel The Lovecraft Anthology: Volume 1 shouldn’t 8ek_fcf^p1 work—if something is unspeakable, shouldn’t it be Mfc% ( undrawable?—and why it’s so important that it does.

The Lovecraft Anthology features seven well-known artists SelfMadeHero; from the comics world, each illustrating a different $19.95 Lovecraft story. Editor Dan Lockwood also adapted two of the stories.

The choice of material is excellent, as four of Lovecraft’s best stories are represented—“The Call of Cthulhu,” “The Dunwich Horror,” The Colour Out of Space” and “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”—and the other three are pretty good, too. A couple of them have been made into crappy movies, contributing to the popular notion that stories from Lovecraft’s “Cthulhu Mythos”—his works about horrifying ancient creatures who once ruled Earth and are always trying to find a way back in—are impossible to represent visually. But film is a literal medium; illustration can be far more impressionistic. What’s brilliant about Mark Stafford’s depiction of “Colour” and I.N.J. Culbard’s take on “Dunwich” is that they show only as much as they have to in order to build the mood.

Stafford’s dark, caricaturelike style, for instance, is disturbing in itself, and he creates exactly the right mood of morbid decay.

But unlike Lovecraft’s heavy passages, there’s an energetic crackle to the adaptations (which have obviously boiled the stories down to their essentials, to some extent) and especially the art. The only story that doesn’t work is “The Haunter of the Dark,” and it’s not because of Lockwood’s adaptation but because Shane Ivan Oakley’s illustrations are ultimately too abstract—like Lovecraft’s own style, sometimes, they create too much distance between the reader and the epic horror being hinted at. All of the others, though, give just the right amount of shape to his gruesome ideas, reminding us of their power and why they continue to break through into the consciousness of each new generation.—Steve Palopoli

AND THE WINNER IS The Retro Dome’s newest production brings back the days of the TV game show.

Gamers GUGGENHEIM Entertainment, creators of the Chanukah extravaganza MeshugaNutcracker, have recently staged productions of such gleefully kitschy diversions as SHOUT! The Mod Musical and Xanadu. Now the Guggenheims have unleashed their latest concoction at the Retro Dome, a musical comedy that takes audiences on a nostalgic trip back to the classic TV game shows of postwar America.

Thanks for Playing ... The Game Show Show! depicts events on the set of The Secret Square, a fictional 1950s quiz show. A casting assistant (Shannon Guggenheim) braves sexism and Thanks for the stresses of live television production as she rises Playing ... The through the ranks and begins a romantic affair with Game Show the show’s host (Stephen Guggenheim). Other staff members include the bandleader (Jackson Davis), a Show! singer (Heather Stokes), an announcer (Ric Iverson) who longs to host his own program and a ditzy Runs through June 3 model (Lee Ann Payne) who dreams of being more $24–$44 than eye candy.

The Retro Dome, San Jose Their already hectic lives spiral out of control when the show’s sponsor pressures them into rigging the game in favor of more glamorous contestants. This leads to an FCC investigation, reflecting the actual scandals so memorably dramatized in Robert Redford’s 1994 film Quiz Show. Will The Secret Square be able to recover from this setback?

The music, onstage banter and visual trappings of early television are meticulously re-created on the Retro Dome stage, and with actors bringing an easy likeability to their characters, Thanks for Playing is pure, simple, goofy fun. Shannon Guggenheim’s original songs are quite catchy, especially the opening number, “Beat the Clock,” and the amusing “Press Your Luck,” which runs through all the things you can’t say on TV. All the songs refer to classic and latter-day game shows, from Truth or Consequences to Win, Lose or Draw, while additional references to Family Feud, Jeopardy! and even Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? are sprinkled throughout. Audience participation adds an extra dimension to the play, and Thanks for Playing shrewdly allows a few members of its audience onto the stage to literally play the game.

The only serious problem with this show is the length. Thanks for Playing feels longer than it should be (this is, after all, a comedy about a quiz show, not Angels in America). Some judicious trimming could bring some added snappiness to this already enjoyable evening.—Sean Conwell

What’s What’ ’s happening in n Santa Sant Cruz County

this week

THURSDAY 5/10

DAN HICKS & THE HOT LICKS For most of that decade-spanning Summer of Love, Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks were a brilliant, psychedelic anachronism. Dressed like flamboyant 1940s cowboy gangsters and molls, the band sang cryptic, often dryly comedic songs—pretty harmonies paired with its own brand of complex acoustic “folk jazz.” Performing at a star-studded 70th birthday show in San Francisco last month, Hicks was in fine voice, still sartorially distinctive, his legendary onstage wit still sharp. Kuumbwa; $22 adv/$25 door; 7pm & 9pm.

FRIDAY 5/11

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM Bay Area native Lindsey Buckingham (pictured) is a legend among classic rock enthusiasts, as evidenced by the fact that Rolling Stone listed the hall-of-famer among its 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. As the guitarist for Fleetwood Mac, he penned some of the band’s most memorable radio hits, including “Go Your Own Way” and “Big Love.” And as far as his fans are concerned, he can do no wrong. Rio Theatre; $42 general/$63 gold; 8pm.

SATURDAY 5/12

SAMBADA Founded by capoeira master Papiba Gondinho, the Santa Cruz–based Afro-Brazilian funk group Sambadá is as much an experience as it is a band. Intentionally recalling the sounds of Bahía with a surf-rock twist, a Sambada concert experience is an exuberant foot-stomping, hand-clapping experience that dissolves the wall between the band and its audience. Moe’s Alley; $15 adv/$20 door; 9pm.

TUESDAY 5/15

LEDWARD KAAPANA Ledward Kaapana is a rebel, subtly bringing outside influences like rock & roll into his slack-key playing. Though Kaapana respectfully adheres to many of the form’s traditions, his wide-ranging musical influences inform his improvisational vocals and intricate guitar lines. Using unusual slack-key tunings that allegedly came to his uncle in a series of dreams, Kaapana comes from a background of unconventional players who have taken the form into heretofore unknown regions. Don Quixote’s; $16 adv/$18 door; 7:30pm.

They were a pair of guitar- and fiddle-playing activists, in the middle of a huge protest against what Cherney describes today as the “cut and run” savaging of the North Coast redwoods. As Bari said, “We don’t want it all; we just want what’s

left.” The late 1980s were a holiday for spoilsmen, who were scraping the woods clean, thanks to junkbond-funded buy-out goliaths like Georgia-Pacific, Louisiana-Pacific and the fragrantly named Maxxam.

Cherney’s documentary, Who Bombed Judi Bari?, which plays Thursday at San José City College as part of the Reel Work Film Festival, has its share of bitter humor.

We have a peace activist, publicly committed to nonviolence, subject to many graphic death threats.

Why was Bari about to take a live time bomb, stashed directly under the driver’s seat of her Subaru, for a nice twisty drive down Highway 17 to Santa Cruz—70 miles in the opposite direction of where such a bomb would presumably be used?

The Oakland PD and the FBI

charged the couple on the basis of this idiotic scenario; so why did they try to sweeten it by falsely describe the bomb as being in the backseat of Bari’s car, when the backseat itself survived the explosion?

If you can figure out this puzzle, the FBI needs you. The charges were eventually dropped, although Bari and Cherney were never exonerated.

The FBI’s first-class muddying of the waters ended in an evidence falsification lawsuit. The Bureau was ordered to pony up $4.4 million of your tax dollars.

In fact, Cherney and the other petitioners (Bari was by that point dead of breast cancer) received only $4 million. They settled for less in hopes of an agreement to send the remaining evidence of this bombing to an independent lab. This evidence still exists today, but it faces possible destruction by the FBI, occasioning yet more lawsuits.

Even the lightly conspiracyminded can note that the FBI’s point man on the case, Richard W. Held, had a longtime history with Cointelpro: the FBI’s dirty-tricks

Stumped

program that slimed, framed and jailed radicals in the 1960s.

To gullible newspapers, law enforcement officials spoke of a diabolical “Green Mafia.” This, even as Earth First! took the moral high ground, asking for outside volunteers for an equivalent of a Mississippi Summer in the Redwoods.

Some locals responded in kind by acting like Klansmen. Who Bombed Judi Bari? recalls the rage. An anonymous group called “Stompers” used logging boots as their symbol.

They sent threats: “If you want to be a martyr, we will be happy to oblige.” And a maniac styling himself as “The Lord’s Avenger” confessed to the Bari/Cherney bombing in a letter citing Timothy 2:11 as the reason why Bari should stay silent. He was never captured.

Who Bombed Judi Bari? isn’t a grim story of martyrdom; it’s a story of triumph. Bari smiles through yet another deposition despite her terminal illness. And we see her leading a crowd in song at a rally against the prosecutors who were holding her violin as evidence. “She used to say music was the most important component of activism,” Cherney told me by phone.

Who Bombed Judi Bari? pays tribute to a remarkable woman: a union organizer who turned carpenter, and who made a successful effort to spare some of the last of the eons-old redwoods.

A local movie? Maybe, but if you take the majority view that destroying forests is contributing to global warming, the picture gets broader. The interest to working people should be clear, too. “Having the labor movement embrace the movie is a dream come true,” Cherney added. “Judi dispelled the whole notion of divide and conquer, the MO of most political figures.

She’s a role model and a modern-day hero. The world needs Judi Bari.

Darryl Cherney will appear at the screening.

THE ROAD (R; 111 min.) Not to be confused with the 2009 adaptation of Cormac McCarthyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dystopic novel, The Road is a taut exercise in horror. In the Philippines, two sisters have vanished without a trace. Now, 12 years later, three more teens have gone missing in the same way.

The two are there to expose the cult but eventually ďŹ nd themselves questioning not just Maggieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beliefs but their own. With Marlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own cult following on the rise, the ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meta narrative may itself be reason to watch. (Opens Fri at the Aquarius and CinĂŠArts SantanaRow.)

Passage to India

IF The Avengers featured British pensioners, it would be The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Senior citizens deserve this reward; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good and faithful moviegoers. Based on Deborah Moggachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel These Foolish Things, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a summit for British thespians as several distinguished elders meet in a story held together by a peeling retirement hotel in Jaipur, a Raj-era ruin.

The old folks have ďŹ&#x201A;ed the expense of England for retirement in Rajasthan, and they respond to this landscape in diďŹ&#x20AC;erent ways. A widow (Judi Dench) gradually blossoms; a married man (Bill Nighy) shows modest enchantment; a wizened gent (Ronald Pickup) expands his randy goatishness; a wife (Penelope Wilton) responds with absolute disgust to the heat and noise and spices and insects and the ďŹ lth. Wilton demonstrates the power of a ďŹ ne actress to make you feel for a character youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d happily kill in real life.

FOR SHOWTIMES & TICKETS: WWW.CAMERACINEMAS.COM

Some Desi-interest arises in the form of the Marigoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hapless manager Sonny (Dev Patel). Sonnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s avoidance of an arranged marriage provides perfunctory under-60 love interest. Patel is very funny, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny in what George Orwell described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the comic babu of the Punch [magazine] tradition.â&#x20AC;? Sonny, for instance, tells his guests that he understands their

agedness: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have heard the chimes at midnight, and you have grown long in the tooth.â&#x20AC;?

So it goes for Ol Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s script, with its shrewd use of the sometimes-maligned expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;one.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s read oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kipling,â&#x20AC;? says a traveler now wise to the ways of India, with its mongooses K_\ 9\jk <ofk`Z and cobras. These DXi`^fc[ ?fk\c transplants all describe themselves as â&#x20AC;&#x153;one,â&#x20AC;?

PG-13; 124 min. as if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure Plays valleywide if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even a one anymore. The elongated, apologetic Nighy uses that self-eďŹ&#x20AC;acing word with the most feeling.

But watching something impressive, such as the scene of Tom Wilkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Graham sitting in a garden and unfolding on his personal life, I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is really ďŹ ne playwriting. Too bad itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ďŹ lm.â&#x20AC;?

And the arc careens too high for Maggie Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;very funny, but plaintive, just as she was in The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne. Here, she plays a terriďŹ ed Cockney racist who suddenly proves her unlikely superpowers. For every one hackneyed incident there are ďŹ ve examples of actorly steel, however tarnished by the years. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Richard von Busack

Candy Land

I LO LOVE IT WHEN HE A PLANTAIN COMES TOGETHER James Fenwicke brin hi brings his band Plantain to the Blank May 9.

James Fenwicke explores a new musical landscape with Plantain

By AARON CARNES

I

T’S BEEN ALMOST a year since San Jose’s James Fenwicke and the rest of the original Mumlers lineup parted ways with singer/songwriter Will Sprott. So far, life after the Mumlers hasn’t been a bad thing for Fenwicke. It’s meant that Plantain, a side project of his since 2008, now gets his full attention.

“It’s freed up quite a bit of time.

So much energy was going into the Mumlers for a while,” Fenwicke says.

Already Plantain has finished recording and mixing their debut album, Fall of a Candy Empire, something that had been on hold for years because Fenwicke’s time was so full juggling work and the Mumlers’ busy schedule.

Plantain’s album is all set to release just as soon as they duplicate the album on vinyl. They launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to fund the duplication costs and have almost reached their goal. Now there’s even talk of a Plantain tour this summer.

“I think people don’t take bands seriously till you have a recording,” Fenwicke says.

People only familiar with Fenwicke through the Mumlers might be surprised at what a departure Fall of a Candy Empire is from that band’s sound. That’s because Sprott and Fenwicke are two totally different kinds of songwriters.

“Will’s songwriting tends to draw off of more traditional blues and less from free-form experimental indie rock or experimental bands,” Fenwicke says.

Sprott’s interest in early American music is obvious in his songs, though he mixes up his influences in a totally unique, creative way. Fenwicke, on

the other hand is all over the map with a much hazier combination of influences. There are elements of ’60s psychedelic pop (like the Zombies and the Beatles), weird drug-addled rock & roll (Lou Reed), lazy ’90s DIY indie rock (Pavement), ’70s power pop (Alex Chilton) and bits of Americana and country tossed in the mix. It’s a big blend of anything-goes rock.

“I’ve tried to not sound like a single songwriter. I have an extensive music collection. I just do what sounds good for each song,” Fenwicke says.

That’s not to say there isn’t a distinct sound on the album. It has an off-kilter quality, both in terms of the weird living room recording production and the band’s off-beat groove: The singing wanders at time.

The lyrics are abstract. The band drags a half-second behind the beat, giving it an almost drunken sound, much like the brilliantly flawed early Pavement records.

“It gives the album a distinct sound that I like. It’s not quite perfect,” Fenwicke says.

One obvious similarity between Fall of a Candy Empire and the two Mumlers records is how they use

a variety of nontraditional rock instruments. Live, Plantain are a more standard rock trio, but on the record there is everything from guitars, bass, banjo, drums, keyboards, horns, a musical saw and something called a marxophone (which is basically a cross between a minipiano and a mandolin). All the instruments, with the exception of the drums, bass and banjo, were recorded by Fenwicke.

“I kind of wish I were an octopus and had eight different sets of arms and maybe an extra set of lungs to play horn while I sang. That’s why I like recording so much. It allows me to layer everything cause I’m a multiinstrumentalist,” Fenwicke says. In the Mumlers, he would switch between horns, guitars and keyboards on stage during shows.

Fenwicke’s tendency toward less standard rock instruments started early in life. His parents enrolled him in piano lessons as a kid where he learned musicals, classical pieces and Disney songs. His father played the French horn in different wind groups. His mother was a classically trained singer and also played the viola. Fenwicke discovered rock & roll in high school and became obsessed with it—old ’60s rock, new alternative rock, everything. He took up the guitar partly because there was so little rock music in his house and it was a way to establish his own identity. As he got older, he kept learning more instruments and found a way to marry his classical music upbringing with the rock music he adored as a teenager.

And of course, he got to be in the Mumlers, who were not only one of the best bands to come out of San Jose in the past decade, but a band with a very liberal policy on genreblending.

“Being in the Mumlers, I learned how to be in a band—getting shows and recording. I’m enjoying (Plantain) a lot because I get a lot more say in the decisions. It’s more responsibility, but I like the responsibility,” Fenwicke says.

Beth Custer Ensemble presents My Grandmother Friday, May 25, 8:30pm Lilian Fontaine Garden Theater Tickets: $20 General / $15 Members / $8 Students

My Grandmother, a 1929 silent film by Soviet Georgian director Kote Mikaberidze, was banned by the Soviet regime for 40 years. Beth Custer has coupled this compelling film with her own score, a quick-paced pastiche of American jazz and blues, contemporary classical, and world folk music. Forgotten for a half-century, Mikaberidze’s film is a delightful example of the Soviet Eccentric Cinema movement as it irreverently satires the Soviet State system. Anarchic in style, the film unspools the foibles and follies that abound when a Georgian paper pusher, modeled after American silent comic Harold Lloyd, loses his job.

The Beth Custer Ensemble features David James (The Coup, Spearhead), Jan Jackson, Will Bernard (Motherbug), Mark Calderon (The Meters), with special guests Chris Grady (Tom Waits), Jessica Ivry (Real Vocal String Quartet) and Dina Maccabee (Vienna Teng). Nils Frykdahl (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum) narrates the film.

CONCERT MAY 9-15, 2012 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

SMOOTH CHASERS JP and the Rhythm Chasers play the Hedley Club Saturday.

JP and the Rhythm Chasers JOSH PERKINS is the “JP” in San Jose’s JP and the Rhythm Chasers. The band’s repertoire focuses on music from around WWII, with an emphasis on the various incarnations of swing that existed during that time.

It’s a genre of music that requires considerable skill, not only because timing is of utmost importance and it requires a flawless knowledge of hundreds of chords and scale variations. It also has to be done with ease and a smile.

The form comes from a time when you weren’t considered a musician if you couldn’t sight-read, and it was almost rude to look down at your fretboard instead of towards the audience.

Josh Perkins is a third-generation guitar luthier. He works Hedley Club with his father and brother at C.B. Perkins, an 89-year-old business his grandfather started in San Jose. He’s even about Sat, May 12 to release a reproduction of the old DeArmond Rhythm Chief pickup that was responsible for a large portion of the 8:30pm; free electric guitar sound from the swing era. That’s probably why Josh can reach back and grab hold of the music so easily. His brother, Eric, takes care of the bass duties, playing a 1940s Kay double-bass.

David Phillips backs them up on slide guitar, David Nelson keeps the drums tight, and Kevin Deibert works the saxophone.

7 DAYS A WEEK 10PM to CLOSE AND MON-FRI 3PM to 6PM, SUNDAY 5-PM to CLOSE

Their dedication to authenticity is proven in how they record their work.

Imagine a track recorded with one microphone, one take, with the band standing around and playing live. That’s how JP and the Rhythm Chasers do it, and they do it with a 70-year-old RCA mic.

To see them live is even better. While some swing acts like to add more modern influences to their performances, JP and the Rhythm Chasers focus on keeping the tunes as close to what people were playing in the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s as possible.

As Josh says, “My philosophy has always been: Let’s sound like a band of that era. We’re not going to be a carbon copy of one particular band, but let’s play within that format, within that feel.”

Sure, a little Western vibe can seep out of the slide guitar, and Josh has been know to sprinkle leads a la Django over certain tunes, but it all fits together like a well-tailored suit.

It’s a rare type of music these days. The atmosphere at the shows is lively, with energetic dancing near the stage, but it also allows for intimate conversation and an overall feeling that these guys are here to entertain. It’s the type of music that makes people want to get dressed up and be cordial.

JP puts it best, “We’re all things swing.”—Tomek Mackowiak

Jle[Xp J\jj`fej WHEN MARCUS ADAMS, better known as DJ Nappy, put together the first Soul Therapy nights at Roux on Santana Row, he didn’t know he was kickstarting a mini-revolution on the club scene.

But he did know who had his back. He teamed up with some of his favorite veteran South Bay DJs—Wen Davis, Goldenchyld, Rated R and Remedy—and invited them to play pretty much whatever they wanted.

When Soul Therapy moved to Fridays at Myth, there were suddenly lines around the block to see Adams’ crew rewriting the rules of what was allowed to be played in a downtown club on a weekend night.

But still, that wasn’t enough. “Nighttime, we’re still kind of restricted,” says Adams about the impetus for the collective’s new afternoon party, Sunday Sessions, which will be held every second Sunday of the month starting May 13, at 2pm. “Daytime, there’s no restrictions. Musically, we’re going to take you even farther.”

Myth Lounge

Adams saw the cookie-cutter approach that Soul Therapy had risen up in response to was also plaguing the daytime party circuit.

2pm; free

Sun, May 13

“All the day parties now in the Bay Area, they’re all electro-house. Everyone’s trying to imitate Vegas,” says Adams. “We’re not in Vegas.”

Instead, Sunday Sessions will continue to mine the vast musical territory that Soul Therapy has, adding to the base of soul, hip-hop, and R&B with more reggae and eclectic choices. Picture A Tribe Called Quest bumping up against Bob Marley, Drake, Madonna and Erykah Badu, and you start to get the picture.

“We’re going to hit every part of the musical spectrum,” says Adams.

“Feel good music for Sundays” is what DJ Rated R, aka Raul Montes, calls it. “It’s pretty much whatever we want to play, to be honest.”

After working together for Soul Therapy, and even before—Montes and Adams were the longest-running DJs at Agenda, and the whole crew has known each other for years—the group has developed a bond.

“We’ve all been doing this for a while, and we all trust each other,” says Montes.

“We all know the music, that’s what it comes down to.”

Adams knows it’s all about the talent. “I’m very blessed to have Raul, Dominic and the crew I have working with me,” he says. “What I like the most about this group is everyone is humble. No one’s trying to one up the next DJ. I have a very talented crew. They all have different styles, and they all complement each other.”

Adams knows a bit about Sunday afternoon club parties—he did a reggae-themed one at Sabor for 13 years. He plans to bring the same vibe that succeeded for so long there to the Sunday Sessions.

“It’s not our party,” he says. “It’s the people party.”—Steve Palopoli

I watch from a bar stool inside Zen Lounge. My companions are some staff, who are celebrating the birthday of one of the bartenders with a small party; an intoxicated basketball enthusiast who obsesses over a pair of shots on the counter; his girlfriend, an intoxicated Stanford student who obsesses over her upcoming finals; and my Heineken, who is my new best friend.

Zen Lounge 251 Castro ST., Mountain View

I had arrived here shortly after 8:30pm and far too early in the evening. I looked at it as an opportunity to amuse myself with some sports, empty-stomach drinking and entertaining conversation (Man: “Are you going to take these shots with me?” Woman: “Agh! What am I doing here?! I am a B student! If you make me fail my finals, I am going to kill you!” Man: “I’ll take these shots after the game.”).

Zen Lounge is a chill place. The décor has an aesthetically pleasing Eastern and Zen Buddhist theme. The main bar is a red countertop underneath a pagoda with a red-tile roof. Comfortable red couches flank the bar, wrapping around glass tables and glowing pedestals—VIP areas roped off in velvet and hidden away behind beaded curtains. Statues of the Buddha and faux bamboo plants are scattered throughout the interior, and plants abound in the outdoor smoking area as well, forming a mellow Zen garden of sorts. The interior is lit by lanterns hanging from the ceiling and the neon glows from the bars.

The game eventually ends, and my two companions leave to find her car. I hope she parked nowhere near mine. The bar starts to fill up with jeans, dress shirts and dresses. The DJ begins spinning a strange mix of old Michael Jackson, Queen, and Gnarls Barkley. Eventually, a good-size crowd forms. Patrons circle the pagoda, stand at the rear bar and sprawl across some couches. The dance floor, however, is largely a no-man’s land: some people dance in that awkward phase when they are not quite drunk enough to dance, where they flail about and intermittently pause. But just as quickly as they enter, they leave and the floor remains deserted. I ask the bartender when the place comes alive. “11pm,” he assures me.

I have doubts. But I don’t know what I’m talking about. Eleven rolls around, and if as by magic the dance floor spontaneously crowds, completely filling with grinding dancers. I’m tempted to join but am too tired. For them the evening is only beginning but for me it is ending. I leave, my work done. And my car? In one piece. —The Barfly

This effect, paired with other cannabinoids, is ideal in treating medical conditions that require the management of symptoms over a longer period of time and require a strong medicine to control these symptoms.

Before you start cooking with cannabis, however, you need to educate yourself on two things. The first is the proper color of cannabutter. Some people believe that the greener it is, the better it is, but unfortunately, having nuclear-green cannabutter does not

denote a “stronger” cannabutter with a higher “potency,” as most patients are led to believe.

What it really means is that the butter has been cooked for a period of six hours to 24 hours, which in turn releases large amounts of chlorophyll into the butter as the cannabis breaks down. The color has nothing to do with the potency of your cannabutter but is instead a clear indication that it has been cooked too long. In order to avoid this, you simply need to keep the cooking time of cannabutter and oil down to one hour.

This allows for the proper extraction of THC and other cannabinoids allowing the flavors and aromas of the bud you are using to infuse without becoming overtly bitter and acrid-smelling.

The result of cooking the cannabutter this way will produce a creamy, lightyellow-colored butter with a slight green hue. For the oils, the result of this cooking will produce a deep golden color for olive oil with a minor green hue and a creamy-white color for coconut oil with a light green hue.

Moroccan Mazar Lamb

Lamb is a common meat used in Moroccan cuisine, and in this dish it is flavored with an intricate array of spices and herbs. Most lamb is either cooked in a tajine, over the fire, stewed in a pot or baked into a pastilla. The

robust sandalwood and pine flavors of Mazar* deepen and ripen the taste of the sauce. Whenever you are in need of an authentic spicy taste of Morocco, this is the dish for you.

Mise en place: 1 pound lamb shoulder chops 2 cloves minced garlic 1 white onion 1 tomato 2 cups water 1/2 small can tomato paste 4 tablespoons Basic Clarified Mazar Cannabutter * (with roughly 3.5 grams of Mazar strain) 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon cumin 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon turmeric 1 tablespoon ginger 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon cardamom Sea salt and pepper Coarsely chop the onion and add it to a stockpot with the 4 tablespoons Basic Clarified Mazar Cannabutter. Add all of the spices, herbs and garlic then sauté on medium until the onions have reduced in size. Debone lamb shoulder then cut into cubes. Add the cubed lamb into the stockpot and sauté until browned.

Chop up the tomato then add to the stockpot with 1/2 tomato paste from a small can and 2 cups water. Stir this mixture, then cover with a lid. Reduce the temperature down to low and simmer for 1 hour. Season with sea salt and pepper then serve over couscous.
