High Five on Drive After reading Josh Koehn’s article “Dude, Where’s My Car,” (420, May 16), I disagree with James Gibbons-Shapiro’s statement that law enforcement has the ability to accurately test an impaired driver

for THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. THC is not like alcohol.

Alcohol takes up volume where a test can show how much (percent) is in a person’s blood. THC tests are based on metabolites that can show usage for months. This is not based on how much one smoked but rather how their body processed the THC. THC metabolites also can fluctuate from one month to another— increasing, decreasing and increasing again, especially with frequent users.

There is no accurate drug test to show impairment of a cannabis user. Police should rely on the field sobriety test to show impairment, not an inaccurate test. Note: there are several studies that show drivers who use cannabis are better drivers than sober ones.

Naming Game “Phillip” is rightly shocked if outsiders misidentify Silicon Valley with San Francisco now (“Naming Wrongs,” Letters, May 16), but at least that’s still in the Bay Area.

In the late 1970s, as the phrase was becoming public, a national newsweekly in the avant-garde of media mis-usage glibly cited “Southern California’s ‘Silicon Valley.’”

I saw the phrase coined 40 years ago in Don Hoefler’s original trade-article series, and saw it slowly become public. The firms Hoefler reported on were largely in Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and Mountain View, where Shockley Semiconductor began it all. Only

years later, with the phrase now mainstream, did someone there grandly dub San Jose the “Capital of Silicon Valley.” Success never lacks parents, or birthplaces, after-the-fact.

TECHNOLOGY & CULTURE IN SILICON VALLEY

BY BRENDAN NYSTEDT, DAN HOLDEN & ROD BASTANMEHR updated daily on the web: www.sv411.com twitter: 5sv411 facebook: siliconvalley411 story for film is problematic. Sorkin has long admitted that his calling is to the drama at the heart of a story and not to historical accuracy. Isaacson’s source material already has been bashed as a bit of a rehash of existing material from a number of sources, with little analysis of its own to bring to the table. Could this equation make for an ultra-dramatized, puffed-up version of the Apple founder’s origin story?—BN

Aaron Sorkin to Pen Sony’s Jobs Biopic When Sony jumped at the film rights to Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs biography, it was speculated that the film company could have another “Social Network” on its hands. The 2010 film, directed by David Fincher, was critically acclaimed, thanks in large part to the guy behind adapting “The Accidental Billionaires,” Aaron Sorkin. Sorkin, best known for his snappy, witty ensemble pieces (“The West Wing,” “Sports Night” and “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip”) turned the story of betrayal and programming into a movie enjoyable for non–Silicon Valley audiences. “The Social Network” was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Now, according to “Variety,” Sorkin has been tapped to adapt Isaacson’s book for the silver screen. It’s clear Sony does indeed want lightning to strike twice for its Silicon Valley– based dramatizations. That’s where Sorkin falls a bit short, however.

There are a few issues with “The Social Network” from an SV point of view—the fact that the film takes an already apocryphal book and turns it into an even more fantastical

Palo Alto–based Pinterest has been given a new, whopping-big valuation after a new round of fundraising.

The popular service just got a shot in the arm from Rakuten, along with FirstMark Capital, Bessemer Venture and Andressen Horowitz to the tune of $100M. The new $1.5B valuation is based on the increasing interest in the service and future expansion efforts.

Rakuten, Japan’s version of Amazon (operator of E-commerce site Rakuten Ichiba and sponsor of Japanese baseball team Rakuten Eagles) is hoping to leverage its popularity to give Pinterest a boost in Asia. Pinterest is also planning to enter the Chinese market but did not elaborate further. According to Bloomberg, Rakuten will be adding a “pin it” button to its sites to encourage Japanese users to start their own Pinterest pinboards.—BN

Facebook Fumbles in Market Debut After years of speculation and months of anticipation, Facebook’s stock debut in the last week has performed surprisingly below expectations, with reports that shares on Monday dropped nearly 11 percent from the initial public offering price of $38 per share to $34.03. This has triggered what some are calling more proof of a growing and unsustainable imbalance across the tech investment spectrum—and another bubble in danger of bursting.

Facebook is far from the only tech firm to have seen its stock value dip below its initial offering price; in recent months, Groupon, Zynga and Angie’s List have seen a similar drop. But no company enjoyed the sort of wide-eyed anticipation that Facebook did in the days leading up to its debut, with reportedly the largest IPO in tech history. Many fingers are being pointed, beginning with Morgan Stanley, the lead banker on the IPO, who, some are claiming, along with Facebook executives, didn’t heed the advice of other investors regarding a lower opening stock price. The enormous demand from investors on Friday morning when the stock went public was itself an additional recipe for disaster. The NASDAQ became so overwhelmed that trading was delayed by a halfhour, to 11:30am EST, halting many trade confirmations from being sent out until as late as 1:50pm EST and leaving investors to buy blindly. This obligated Morgan Stanley to buy an estimated $30-$40M in an effort to make sure the stock didn’t break below asking price.

What happens next will be for the market to decide, but considering his wedding to college sweetheart Priscilla Chan this past Saturday, it’s safe to say that Zuckerberg has had a hell of a weekend—let’s just hope the real honeymoon lasts longer than the company’s.—RB

Apple and Samsung Meet to Settle Patent War The heads of Apple and Samsung met in San Francisco on May 21 to attempt to bring some closure to the long-fought patent war between them. The legal knockdown-drag-out has been going on since 2010, when Apple met with Samsung to avoid a long, ugly fight in court. Apple ended up taking Samsung to court in April 2011, and it’s been an ongoing fight in multiple markets over some choice patents.

Now, the two tech titans are meeting again to start to make amends. The mediation will take place today and tomorrow at a courthouse in San Francisco, and they’re hoping to begin a cross-licensing agreement. Judge Joseph Spero will oversee the proceedings; the battle over the United States will begin in July if there isn’t an agreement reached.

This is an extremely important case due to the fact that Samsung is an important supplier for Apple,

and Apple is one of Samsung’s biggest customers. Their business arrangements could radically change as collateral damage.—BN

HP Restructuring Plans Leaked; 30K Jobs to Be Cut CEO Meg Whitman is expected to announce HP’s large restructuring plans next week but already there’s been a leak to the press.

AllThingsD reports that the No. 1 PC manufacturer (yes, it’s still not Apple [yet]) is digging deep to correct years of mismanagement.

HP is going to cut 30,000 jobs over the next year throughout the company.

According to AllThingsD’s sources, HP isn’t doing this to curtail bleeding or boost profits in the short term but instead is planning to put the money saved back into the company in R&D. HP isn’t handing out pinks to every one of the 30K but instead will also provide a voluntary retirement option to around 5,000 employees.—DH

SanJoseInside.com An inside look at San Jose politics

BY PIERLUIGI OLIVERIO

Defer and Drop to Net $1 Million LAST YEAR, I wrote about a parcel of land that was converted from commercial zoning to residential by my council colleagues … some of whom are “friendly” with a certain lobbyist. Many believe this parcel was converted as a “quid pro quo” so AT&T would sell its land for a potential baseball stadium. I opposed this rezoning, since I wanted to retain all of the land for jobs, thus a better tax base to pay for city services.

There was a promise from the lobbyist that “a someday office building,” on a postage stamp portion of the parcel, would be built.

However, no progress had been made. On the other hand, the larger portion of the parcel for the housing portion (as usual) has been moving along rather quickly.

The housing developer needed to buy some of the road from the city to make the project work. I noticed this item on the council agenda and asked my council colleagues for a deferral, so we could make some progress on the promised office building. The next day at the Rules Committee, I asked for this time to be dropped entirely from future council agendas.

As expected, calls came quickly from the housing developer and lobbyist. I asked for some tangible progress on the office building prior to the council meeting, when this item would be back on the council agenda. A meeting was held, and an office development proposal now has the opportunity to come forward this summer. But there’s no guarantee, as greed might foil the day.

The housing developer on this parcel had an outstanding debt to the city of San Jose of $1 million for a light rail station. These fees were owed for nearly five years from a prior housing development. I asked

that the housing developer pay this past due money before the council vote. The housing developer has agreed to cut a check for $1 million dollars on June 1, and if they do not the city will hold up escrow.

Sometimes delay can be a good thing.

Braunstein Gives Back Bumb Money Robert Braunstein, a TV sports broadcaster and candidate for

CUBESOULS

District 10’s City Council seat, returned a $500 contribution from Brian Bumb this week, after San Jose Inside notified his campaign that Bumb and his company, Bumb & Associates, hold a management stake in Bay 101 Casino.

According to ethics provisions listed in Title 12.06 (Municipal Campaign and Officeholder Contributions) under the city’s code of ordinances, candidates for elected office are not allowed to accept money from San Jose’s card rooms, as well as anyone in a management role in those businesses or their spouses.

City Clerk Dennis Hawkins confirmed that he sent a letter to Braunstein regarding Bumb’s contribution. “[Bumb] is in one of the categories that makes it a prohibited contribution,” Hawkins said. Braunstein replied with a letter of his own saying the contribution had been returned, Hawkins said.

Bumb and his family have owned Bay 101 since it was opened in the mid ’90s. The Bumb family gained much of its wealth from the San Jose Flea Market, which is why Braunstein says he thought the contribution wouldn’t run afoul of FPPC standards.—Josh Koehn

As an undergrad, I would often explore the massive quantities of old aromatic books in the various floors of that glorious building.

Jack’s place had all the secret stuff,

seemingly.

The old Wahlquist Library was a crumbling relic of a place—in a magnificent way. Plaster intermittently tumbled from the walls, and it seemed like the elevators took five minutes to go up three floors. But the Special Collections room was a pristine oasis amid the ruins, where Jack kept track of so much historical ephemera that it was mind-boggling.

Unfortunately, you couldn’t browse. Everything was located in the back, and you had to be sniffing for something in particular, pretty much like the current Special Collections room on the fifth floor of the MLK library.

Jack commanded an elderlike presence in that room. He was like the grand old man of local lore. It seemed

he k knew the names of every llike k h faculty member who had ever taught at the university for 100 straight years.

It was not until much later that I would discover the books he himself had written about San Jose history.

There were many. He penned a colorful taxonomy of characters and places, titled Historical Footnotes of Santa Clara Valley, and then just recently its sequel, Historical Highlights of Santa Clara Valley. Both of those volumes are jammed with crackpot yarns and forgotten stories. I’ve based several columns on info I originally learned from those books.

Another gem, a smaller paperback, Historic San Jose: Tales of Naglee Park, concentrates specifically on that neighborhood, its architecture and history, all of which go back to the 19th century. In gorgeous detail, Jack drills down into the histories of specific houses and the people who inhabited them, folks like Paul Masson and the first wife of John Steinbeck.

I still refer to those books all the time, and I will testify that they helped provide a foundation for me to find

my own voice as a “crackpot historian,” so to speak. It was in Jack’s books that I first researched Astley (A.D.M.) Cooper, San Jose’s most famous painter, who paid off his bar tabs with nude portraits of women.

Saloons up and down the coast carried Cooper’s paintings. One local saloon keeper owned so many Cooper nudes that he named his watering hole the Louvre Saloon after the Louvre in Paris. Cooper died in 1924, and the Louvre Saloon was located at 53 N. First St. I would love to see that practice revived.

In any event, I did not even hang out with Jack until 2003, when he led a four-hour walking tour of downtown San Jose’s historical buildings. I was easily the youngest one in the group, and I conjured up a screed in the July 3 issue of Metro that year.

Ever the cantankerous historian, Jack began the tour right where a restaurant exploded near First and Santa Clara streets in the early ’60s.

As the tour later crept down San Fernando, Jack told us the Cinebar was where all the left-wing SJSU faculty congregated in the late ’50s and early ’60s. Who would have thought that, a half-century later, one would see Frida Kahlo and punk bands painted on the walls of the place.

Over the years, I called Jack whenever I needed to fill in some obscure details on certain communiqués I was conjuring up, and he always called me back. He was a treasured resource. After Clyde Arbuckle, Leonard McKay and a few others, Jack can be seen as the last of his generation of local historians. His are not easy shoes to fill.

Saturday afternoon, Jack’s friends and family will host a public memorial service at Kelley Park. The stories will undoubtedly unfold. When Leonard McKay passed away, a celebration took place on the same grounds, with every old boy from every network making an appearance. The Ancient and Honorable Order of E Clampus Vitus, a.k.a. the Clampers, even brought their own Budweiser truck. For Jack’s memorial, I do not know what will happen, but it will be historic.

FOOD TRUCK

MAY 23-29, 2012 s metrosiliconvalley.com s sanjose.com s metroactive.com

Soulnese SPECIALTY: Asian/soul-food fusion USUAL LOCATIONS: Every Wednesday at Milpitas Street Eats (4:30â&#x20AC;&#x201C;9pm); every other Tuesday lunch in Cupertino; every other Wednesday lunch in Palo Alto. Follow @soulnese for live updates.

YEARS IN BUSINESS: Six months OWNER/CHEF: Jackson Fan, Georgie Fan, Ivan Nepomuceno, Khari Crowder.

BACKGROUND: Soulnese is the brainchild of the Fan brothers and their two childhood friends. Passionate about ďŹ ne cuisine and preserving the traditional ďŹ&#x201A;avors of the comfort foods they grew up with, the San Jose natives decided to launch the Soulnese truck in order to share their food with patrons who might not otherwise try it in a typical brick-and-mortar restaurant. The unique fusion dishes provide an outlet for the chefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; creative ďŹ&#x201A;air, while providing, in their words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;comfort food for your soul and yang.â&#x20AC;?

THE FOOD: From the tri-tip po boy (featuring sauce-drenched tri-tip steak and coleslaw on a fresh roll) to the mouthwatering â&#x20AC;&#x153;mac â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rollâ&#x20AC;? (gooey eight-cheese blend mac and cheese wrapped and fried egg rollâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;style), Soulnese will change the way you think about both Chinese and soul food.

Big, bold ďŹ&#x201A;avors are paramount in each inventive dish, making it difficult to choose between the Soul Stix (seasoned prawns wrapped around chunks of spicy hot link sausage adorned with sweet and tangy ginger ranch sauce), succulent fried chicken subtly infused with traditional Asian spices and juicy pork strips over a bed of soy sauce-infused garlic fries. (Luckily the Soulnese sampler serves up all three so you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to choose.) As of now, the menu is lacking in the dessert department, a shame because after enjoying the specialty savory dishes something sweet would make for a little balance. But if the day comes that Soulnese starts offering, say, deep-fried cream cheese wontons there is no doubt that it will be just as delectable as the main course.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Misa Shikuma

merely tops off its tasty taqueria fare: big burritos of the breakfast and lunchtime varieties, overďŹ&#x201A;owing nachos, delectable chile rellenos. 7am3am daily. 140 E. San Carlos St. 408.298.5335.

LOS CUBANOS Cuban. $$.

Cuban food exudes an earthy, slow-cooked seduction and Los Cubanos has it in spades.

Lunch 11am-2:30pm MonFri; dinner 5-9pm Mon-Thu,

5-10pm Fri, 1-10pm Sat and 4-8:30pm Sun. 22 N. Almaden Ave. 408.279.0134.

MCCORMICK AND SCHMICKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Seafood. $$$. Harks back to big-city ďŹ sh houses with stately, masculine interiors.

Menu follows the freshest fruits of the sea, grilled, panseared, steamed. Desserts will hook you. 11:30am-10pm daily; 11pm happy hour Fri-Sat. 170 S. Market St. 408.283.7200.

MEZCAL Regional Mexican. $$. Mezcal specializes in delicious regional cuisine from the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. People who need nachos and sour-creamtopped burritos on the menu will probably be miffed, but for those willing to venture beyond the same old MexicanAmerican standards, Mezcal offers an excellent point of

BEST BITES

Getaway Restaurants WHETHER IT’S the decor, the food or the drinks or all the above some restaurants just feel like you’ve left San Jose and arrived someplace else. Given San Jose’s diverse ethnicity and food scene, it’s easy to get away.

GRAND CENTURY MALL FOOD COURT: I’ve never been to Vietnam, but I bet parts of it feel like Grand Century Mall, especially the food court. Stall after stall serves different kinds of Vietnamese specialties to an appreciative crowd of Vietnamese natives. My favorite is Dinh Cong Trang, purveyor of big, lacy banh xeo, vegetable, shrimp and pork stuffed crepes. (1001 Story Road, San Jose) HENRY’S HI-LIFE: It’s hard to say what the dining room of Henry’s Hi-Life looks like. An old lodge? A grandmother’s rambling dining room? San Jose 100 years ago? Whatever it is, Henry’s is one of a kind and a definite respite from the ordinary. (301 W. St. John St., San Jose) HUKILAU: A mai tai, an order of Spam masubi and some Polynesian visuals work wonders on your sensory perception. Hukilau is as close as you’re going to get to Hawaii without getting on a plane. (230 Jackson St., San Jose) LE PAPILLON: In addition to the outstanding modern French food, one of the amazing things about Le Papillon is once you park your car, open the restaurant’s door and leave busy Saratoga Avenue behind you enter another world, one of comfortable elegance and style that is far away from where you were before you stepped inside. (410 Saratoga Ave., San Jose) METRO BALDERAS: Le Papillon and Metro Balderas are worlds apart in more ways the one. Metro Balderas on Almaden Avenue feels like you’ve been riding the subway in Mexico City and popped up to find a taqueria specializing in Mexico City street food. Which is fitting given the place is named after a metro stop on the city’s subway and they serve a straight-outtaDF menu of street snacks. (688 S. Almaden Ave., San Jose)—Stett Holbrook

49 departure. 11:30am-11pm Sun-Fri and 5-11pm Sat. 25 W. San Fernando St. 408.283.9595.

MORTON’S STEAKHOUSE Steakhouse. $$$$. Morton’s, a Chicago-based chain of restaurants with more than 80 locations across the U.S. and abroad, offers delicious, premium-priced steaks. The rest of the menu is a mixed

bag. 5:30-11pm Mon-Sat, 5-10pm Sun. 177 Park Ave. 408.947.7000.

MUCHOS Mexican. $. A small player with a big rotisserie, this taqueria cultivates a devout lunch following. All standards get billing, but the mesquite-roasted chicken is the star. Beer. 11am-10pm daily. 72 E. Santa Clara St. 408.277.0333.

NAGLEE PARK GARAGE New American. $$. Lots of restaurants would like to think of themselves as friendly neighborhood joints but few deliver. The Garage does.

Small but satisfying menu of well-executed comfort food classics. 5-9:30pm Tue-Thu, 5-10pm Fri, 9am-1pm, 5-10pm Sat, 9am-1pm Sun. 505 E. San Carlos St. 408.286.1100.

UNCLE KRACKER Club Rodeo, San Jose Wed – 8pm; $10/$15

Most people probably still think of Uncle Kracker as a rap-rock act, especially because he came up with high school best friend Kid Rock in Michigan (serving as Rock’s DJ for several years), and went after the same trailer-trash vibe on his first and biggest hit, “”Follow Me.” Ultimately, what he followed Kid Rock into was country music, beginning with his appearance of Kenny Chesney’s hit single “When the Sun Goes Down” and followed by his solo country hit “Smile.” His last album, 2009’s Happy Hour, was more rock, but he kept his country fans happy with

a subsequent EP that featured countrified remakes of songs from the album. Just to bring it all full circle, the EP also features a guest appearance from none other than Kid Rock. (SP)

USURPER VONG

PRE-I LOVE THIS CITY PARTY

South First Billiards, San Jose Thu – 9pm; free

Studio 8, San Jose Friday – 10pm; $5

Usurper Vong proclaims that they are from San Jose every chance they get, but I’m have trouble believing they’re not from another planet. Good luck finding any neat classification for these guys—not even a very broad definition like “rock” can cover them. But they do

Now that the I Love This City festival has moved to the South Bay, Studio 8 is hosting the preparty—an electronic appetizer if you will, to get you primed and ready for two full days nonstop EDM madness. If you’re are brave enough to add this third day of

ear-drum splitting electronica to your schedule, you will be treated to five DJs—DJ B3, DJ Dre, DJ Scrubs, DJ Iromo—collectively known as Epic Sounds. They spin house, electronic, hip-hop and dubstep. (AC)

BETH CUSTER ENSEMBLE Montalvo Arts Center, Saratoga Fri – 8:30pm; $20 Bay Area treasure Beth Custer lent her distinctive clarinet to the Club Foot Orchestra’s original soundtracks. Now that we’re in the midst of a major revival of interest in silent film, it’s particularly timely that Custer and her six-person ensemble are performing the score Custer composed for Kote Mikaberidze’s 1929 opus My Grandmother. The Soviet-era comedy

exemplified the kind of material Stalin wanted stamped out. Banned until the 1970s, My Grandmother is a cross between surreal slapstick and Murnau’s The Last Laugh, as if assayed by Dziga Vertov. Part of the evening’s experience is a walk around the grounds: My Grandmother is being shown alfresco at the Lilian Fontaine Theater at the Montalvo Arts Center, where Custer has been an artist in residence.

celebrating the complex and ahead of our time animation coming out of Japan. Despite the wonders made at Pixar, there hasn’t yet been a cartoon as textually interesting as something like Paprika or Fullmetal Alchemy made here. The convention includes a “Clockwork Alchemy” gathering of steampunk fanciers, as well as a swap meet, a black-and-white ball, costume play, karaoke and gaming. Headliners roster: artist Kia Asamiya (who did the manga adaptation of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace).

Shigeto Koyama is a key animator on the Rebuild of Evangelion series.

ZOMBIE POOL PARTY Johnny V’s, San Jose Sat – 9pm; no cover Braaaaaains! And bathing suits?

Combining elements of rock, funk and hip-hop, Zombie Pool Party gets funky fresh and is the perfect band to perform when the place looks dead. It’s like when someone puts on an old Michael Jackson song—you can’t help but get down.

Besides being arguably the best thing to come out of Hollister, these guys obviously know how to have a good time. With songs like “Party in the Graveyard,” Zombie Pool Party just might have what it takes to bring the dead back to life. (BD)

M`Zkfi`Xe 9lqq THE VIBRATOR was originally applied as a medical device rather than a sex toy. Victorian women diagnosed with “hysteria,” a catchall term for any emotional state that men didn’t understand, would visit doctors for therapeutic masturbation sessions to relieve the pressure on their nerves and release “excess fluids.” In an era when female sexuality wasn’t always associated with pleasure, this procedure was viewed as strictly medical and perfectly respectable, and herein lies much of the comedic grist for In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play). (Coincidentally, the subject of the new movie Hysteria.)

This title, now on the marquee at City Lights Theater, suggests a lightweight sex farce. In reality, while the play is erotically charged and uproariously funny, In the Next Pulitzer-nominee Sarah Ruhl (The Clean House, Eurydice, Dead Man’s Cell Phone) has crafted Room something that is also unexpectedly complex and stunningly poignant.

Runs through June 17; $15–$28 The story concerns Dr. Givings ( Jeffrey Bracco), City Lights, 529 S. who administers a “pelvic massage” therapy to his Second St., San Jose “hysterical” patients, including Mrs. Daldry (an effervescent Sarah Moser) and a rare male case, the sensitive artist Leo Irving (Adam Magill). The induced “paroxysm” leaves the patients feeling euphoric and greatly relaxed, but the notion that such a release might occur in the bedroom rather than a doctor’s office seems alien to them.

Victorian prudery is the stuff of legend, but Ruhl understands that it wasn’t monolithic. Her characters aren’t stuffy puritans, but in an age of great strides in science and medicine, they are still ignorant of the most basic human functions. They crave intimacy, but don’t know how to get it. This is shown in Mrs. Daldry’s relationship with the doctor’s assistant Annie (Shannon Warrick), and most of all in Elissa Beth Stebbins’ superb portrayal of Mrs. Givings, which brings great emotional depth to the character’s desire for romance with her distant, clinically minded husband, and her anguish at being unable to feed her child, having instead to hire a wet nurse (Rachel Davidman).

While the scenes of Dr. Givings’ vibrator therapy are the most outrageously funny parts, the scenes shared by the female characters turn out to be the most interesting, with Davidman and Warrick lending a sense of gravitas alongside the passionate performances of Moser and Stebbins. This is an excellent rendition of an excellent play, and the strongest production of City Lights’ season thus far.—Sean Conwell

8Zk`e^ :cXj_ SAN JOSE REP’s West Coast premiere of Theresa Rebeck’s rollicking three-person comedy The Understudy begins, like a track race, with a gunshot. The shot is fired from a prop pistol held by Harry, the titular understudy, who is goofing around in an empty theater while waiting for the rest of the cast and crew. Harry (Gabriel Marin) is unhappy about playing second fiddle to a big-name action movie star whose fame rests on lines like “Get in the truck!”

However, when said movie star appears in the form of Jake (Craig Marker), it becomes clear that he isn’t the hack Harry thinks he is. Jake takes the play (a production of an “undiscovered masterpiece” by Kaf ka) seriously and gives thoughtful insights into the author’s work, while Harry can only feebly The Understudy reply that he went pub crawling in Prague once.

Surprisingly, they get on well, and a significant Run though June 3; “bromance” develops between them. $29–$75 Harry’s relationship with stage manager Roxanne San Jose Repertory Theatre, 101 Paseo de (Jessica Wortham) is more problematic. She is his San Antonio, San Jose ex-fiancée, and he abandoned her shortly before their wedding was to take place. This does little to facilitate the rehearsal, which turns out to be one headache after another.

In addition to conflict between the characters, there is an impressive rotating centerpiece for changing the scenery, which an unseen, stoned set technician continually causes to turn at the wrong time. This provides an opportunity for slapstick humor that never occurs, perhaps thankfully.

The bantering between Marin and Marker, not to mention Wortham’s fits of flustered rage, are much funnier than any physical comedy.

Then there is the matter of the pistol. With such a realistic-looking prop in the hands of an actor with such a big chip on his shoulder, you can’t help but wonder if The Understudy might suddenly turn into a black comedy. The gun, however, is mainly a device for getting Roxanne off the stage when Jake misplaces it.

Though it asks its audience to suspend some disbelief, the play’s humor rings true. The actors, director Amy Glazer and indeed the whole crew must deal with frustrations similar to what the characters in the play go through. So too must have Rebeck, whose musical drama Smash covers similar ground. You get the feeling that years of disappointment and bitterness have been channeled into something positive: an engaging and hilarious comedy.—Sean Conwell

REVIEW

Cannes Produce EACH SPRING, the French Riviera becomes a hotbed for celebrities, rising stars and movie-making deals at the Cannes Film Festival. Last week, the 65th edition got off to a resounding start with the world premiere of Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom. Putting a retro twist on the classic Romeo and Juliet story, the film follows the romance of two prepubescent runaways and the local community of eccentric New Englanders who try to stop them. Ever the epitome of hipster-prep chic, Anderson’s latest project features a gorgeous vintagepostcard aesthetic and dry wit to spare, along with solid performances by newcomers Kara Hayward and Jared Gilman as the starcrossed lovers.

Riding high on critical buzz since its debut on day two is French director Jacques Audiard’s beautifully poignant drama Rust and Bone. Marion Cotillard stars as a marinepark whale trainer who suffers an accident that leads her to befriend a struggling single father and small-time boxer (Matthias Schoenaerts). Cotillard is superb as always, but some are already putting their money on Schoenaerts as this year’s Jean Dujardin, of The Artist fame.

Australian director John Hillcoat makes a foray into the American South with Lawless, a gangster piece based on the reallife Bondurant brothers, who sold whiskey during the Prohibition era. Scripted by Nick Cave, the film achieves that tricky balance between high-adrenaline action sequences and character-driven story. Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy and Jason Clarke star as the three Bondurants, with standout supporting roles filled by Guy Pearce, Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska.

In The Hunt, a child’s false accusation of sexual abuse leads to a decay of social

and moral integrity in a small Danish community. Disturbingly and frustratingly realistic, director Thomas Vinterberg forces us to watch as everyone does the wrong thing while firmly believing themselves to be in the right—from the parents who believe their imaginative daughter without proof to her accused teacher, who remains unwilling to demonize his former friends who allowed the rumor to spread like a virus. While American audiences will probably recognize him from his villainous turn in Casino Royale, Mads Mikkelson delivers a delicate, nuanced performance as the ostracized kindergarten teacher that seems like an early contender for the Best Actor prize.

In the “Un Certain Regard” program, this year’s Sundance sweetheart Beasts of the Southern Wild continued to charm audiences.

First-time director Benh Zeitlin takes us on a mystical journey through the bayous of Louisiana, bringing the South to life in wonderfully rich audiovisual detail through the eyes of the 6-year-old protagonist, Hushpuppy (newcomer Quvenzhané Wallis) in her quest to find her mother in light of her father’s failing health. Part magical realism, part environmental disaster movie, Zeitlin’s debut is not one to miss.

Like father, like son. Brandon Cronenberg’s graphic debut feature, Antiviral, fuses sci-fi with body horror to depict a perversely dystopian society in which obsessive fans pay to receive injections of diseases gleaned from their favorite celebrities. (If it sounds far-fetched, just think about people who bid on everyday items on eBay simply because they’ve been touched or used by a famous person.) Although the actual scientific elements seem dubious, the film’s message and provocative critique of the celebrity culture perpetuated by tabloids, fan sites, etc., ring loud and clear.—Misa Shikuma

(R; 90 min.) Six tourists hire arguably the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst tour guide to take them to the abandoned post-nuclear city of Pripyat, the former home of the infamous Chernobyl nuclear reactorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;only to ďŹ nd that the abandoned city isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so abandoned after all. Either the ďŹ lm is in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;found footageâ&#x20AC;? format or onlocation radiation is seriously messing with the camera. (Opens Fri valleywide)

bossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political activist daughter, Charlotte (a robustly miscast Maggie Gyllenhaal). An actress who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a good comedy orgasm scene has no place in the cinema; Sheridan Smith mugs pleasurably as a debauched maid, and Georgie Glenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shriek of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tally-ho!â&#x20AC;? at the capital moment is rich. But the cast is all dressed up with nowhere to go. Wexler seems caught in the problem of a ďŹ lm addressing twin evils: poverty and the second-class status of women. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unable to take the second problem seriously. (RvB) (Opening Fri at the Aquarius in Palo Alto.)

Alienating IN THE decade since this franchiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last outing, the world must have gotten more xenophobic, because in Men in Black 3, Will Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Agent J spends time complaining about the weirdness of shawarma and the unidentiďŹ able ďŹ lth to be found in a Chinese restaurant. This moment exists only so that we can have an alien, who is pretending to be Chinese, say â&#x20AC;&#x153;so sollyâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;if that makes it funnier.

All of this confusing foreign grub is contrasted to the mentally healing power of a slice of American pie. A reference to Twin Peaks? Or a symbol of a franchise turning cranky?

Men in Black 3 commences with the hairy one-armed Boris the Animal (Flight of the Conchords star Jermaine Clement) breaking from jail and heading to settle an old score with Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones). Meanwhile, the never more fey Agent J seeks paternal male-love from his partner. Not a chance, since Tommy Lee is far too Texan. J time-hops back to 1969 in an eďŹ&#x20AC;ort to head oďŹ&#x20AC; an alien invasion and meet up with the younger K. (Josh Brolin, doing a ďŹ ne pickup of Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mannerisms). The agents are aided by GriďŹ&#x192;n, an alien bag-gentleman who sees in ďŹ ve dimensions; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played by Michael Stuhlbarg of A Serious Man, doing his best Robin Williams, outďŹ tted with layers

of clothing, a yarn hat, bulgy blue contact lenses and a blissed-out grin.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an immersive version of the past. The ďŹ nale is set at Cape Canaveral (instead of Cape Kennedy, as it was in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;69). The duo attend a party at Warholâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Factory where the password is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Janis Joplinâ&#x20AC;?; the scene is set D\e @e 9cXZb * a year after that factory closed, and the loft has PG-13; 106 min. a welcome-to-all banner Opens Friday, valleywide on the outside, as if the private studio were a carpet warehouse.

A joke or two stands out (such as Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mid-air detour through 1929). But Men in Black 3 lacks seriously without women even as eye-candy, not counting the contemptuous use of a moll (Nicole Scherzinger) or Emma Thompson (and Alice Eve as her younger self) as the lady boss.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only so much male bonding a man can stand. And considering the threat of evil invasion, MIB III is undervillained. It must be hard work writing professional wrestler/supervillain threats. The Animal is left with lines like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agree to disagree!â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arrggh!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Richard von Busack

(R; 95 min.) Tanya Wexlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical farce is so arch and self-congratulatory that it hardly even allows its audience a few mild, civilized chuckles. It has the same subject matter as In the Next Room, currently at the City Lights Theatre Company.

Jonathan Pryce is a pompous Victorian, Dr. Robert Dalrymple, who manipulates the genitals of his well-off, middle-aged female patients to ward off â&#x20AC;&#x153;hysteriaâ&#x20AC;? symptoms, like unwanted thoughts and depression.

THE BIG SLEEP/ THE CRIMINAL CODE (1946/1931) Easygoing L.A. private detective Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) is hired by a handicapped general to keep tabs on his nymphomaniac daughter, who is wrapped up in a case of blackmail and murder. No one has ever cared as much about the plot as they have about Howard Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; staggeringly impudent directionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or as much as they cared for Lauren Bacall, who plays the smoky-voiced, tough good girl who assists Marlowe.

BILLED WITH The Criminal Code.

One of a number of prison ďŹ lms released in the early 1930s, this is remembered for its famous scene: Boris Karloff as the enforcer of the code in question, lurching through the part with such deadly force that he landed the role of Frankensteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monster next. (Plays May 25-27 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.)

REVIEW (1962/1965) In Jamaica, a British bureaucrat vanishes, summoning a tough, amoral investigator from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Universal Exports.â&#x20AC;? Clues lead this enforcer, James Bond (Sean Connery) to Crab Key, an atoll owned by Dr. Julius No (a KarlofďŹ an Joseph Wiseman). The tone in this foundation-laying adventure is unusually serious, as it needs to be to encompass what happens next.

Worth more than the million-dollar midriff of Ursula Andress, then, is the straightest face in the movies of her day; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost detached describing her use of a spider as a murder weapon. And this in the same ďŹ lm where 007 almost gets tarantula-bit. BILLED WITH GoldďŹ nger. The industrialist Auric GoldďŹ nger (Gert Froebe) has a thing for gold-painted women, though this can prove lethal to them. (Plays May 25-27 in San Jose at the Retro Dome.) (RvB)

LAND OF THE PHAROAHS/ VIVA VILLA

NILES FILM MUSEUM Regularly scheduled programs of silent ďŹ lms. May 26: Rudolph Valentino in The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse (1921), starring Rudolph Valentino, who introduced the tango to the world. Billed with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perils of Pauline Episode 9: The Floating CofďŹ nâ&#x20AC;? (1914) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back Stageâ&#x20AC;? (1919) with Arbuckle and Keaton. Judith Rosenberg at the piano. (Plays May 26 at 7:30pm in Fremont at the Edison Theatre.)

Cultdom KINO LORBER has released two 1973 horror ďŹ lms (on DVD and BluRay), and though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from the same year, Peter Newbrookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Asphyx and Bill Gunnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ganja & Hess could not be more diďŹ&#x20AC;erent. They were both made smack in the middle of one of horrorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strangest eras, when gritty independent ďŹ lmmaking was taking hold in America, and stately, sometimes campy theatrical horror was making a comeback in Britain.

The Asphyx (Redemption Films) is sort of the poor cousin to the fun Amicus horror anthologies that were being made in the United Kingdom at the same time (Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Asylum, etc.). These usually involved some high-concept supernatural plots and twist endings, and The Asphyx has both. The Asphyx would have been better at that shorter anthology length, but it will entertain lovers of cult British horror with its tale of a scientist (Robert Stephens) who discovers that smudges on photographs taken at the time of death are souls escaping the body. In true madhatter form, he attempts to capture this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Asphyxâ&#x20AC;? (the Greek spirit of the dead) and thus achieve immortality.

Much more interesting is director/writer Bill Gunnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ganja & Hess (Kino Classics), which was made to cash in on the success of Blacula, but has far more in common with the original art ďŹ lm that spawned Blaxploitation, 1971â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sweet Sweetbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Baadasssss Song. Basically, Gunn was hired to make an African American vampire ďŹ lm but decided to make a hallucinogenic meditation on the nature of addiction instead.

Gunn himself plays George, an assistant

to anthropologist Hess Green, who has immortality unexpectedly thrust upon him and develops a thirst for blood as a side eďŹ&#x20AC;ect. Gunn puts his politics on the table early when George says of Hess, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an addict. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a criminal, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a victim. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s addicted to blood.â&#x20AC;?

It helps that Hess is played by the endlessly fascinating Duane Jones, who starred in Night of the Living Dead.

His performance here is gripping, as is that of Marlene Clark as Ganja, with whom Hess becomes involved. The ďŹ lm will strike many as pretentious, with its airy, psychedelic feel and almost documentarian style in parts, but it deserves to be recognized as a cult classic.

Though Ganja & Hess may be a vampire story, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Frankenstein ďŹ lm, in the sense that the complete work had to be cobbled together for this release from the best available sources, after the original distributor hacked almost a third of its running time away. The restoration was lovingly done, but of course some sections look better than others. In general, however, it looks no doubt far better now than it did in the theaters its original run, and a documentary in the extras does a ďŹ ne job of laying out its place in indie-ďŹ lm history.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Steve Palopoli

DR. NO/GOLDFINGER

(1955/1934) The engineering problem of how the pyramids were built contrasts with the romance of a scheming princess (Joan Collins) and the Pharaoh Cheops II (Jack Hawkins). This Howard Hawks epic was a ďŹ&#x201A;op, but like the pyramids themselves, an enduring relic of an era of largesse. BILLED WITH Viva Villa! Hawks fretted that the studio had turned the warrior Pancho Villa (Wallace Beery) into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santa Claus,â&#x20AC;? but the Mexican locations had their share of real-life gunplay according to Hawks. (Plays May 23-24 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

Porch IT TOOK YEARS of hard work and gigging in the Bay Area before freakmetal outfit—and unlikely rock stars—Primus blew up in the ’90s. Spazzy, weirdo bass player/frontman Les Claypool started the band in the early ’80s with guitarist Todd Huth. In SLG Art Boutiki, 1988, literally months before Primus released their first album, Suck on This, Huth quit the band. While Larry Sat May 26 LaLonde, Huth’s replacement, ended up getting most of the credit for Primus’ unusual guitar work, it was Huth that wrote most of the parts for those early albums and 7pm; $10 essentially laid the groundwork with Claypool to create the Primus sound.

Huth’s departure was amicable, but terribly timed. Still, it’s not like Huth didn’t benefit from Primus’ success. He’s gotten to play in some of Claypool’s side projects (Sausage & Les Claypool’s Fearless Frog Brigade). But where Huth really shines is in his own project, Porch, which he started in the mid’90s, and features former Today Is the Day bassist Christopher Frey and former Samiam drummer Dave Ayer. The distinct guitar work that would help elevate Primus into monster-cult status is abundant in Porch. Huth mixes heavy distortion and traditional blues scales with dissonant chords.

Unlike LaLonde, who would bring a tinnier tone and a lighter, more abstract flair to Primus, Huth has a deep, gritty style.

Porch is clearly more purely Huth’s musical vision. In other words, there aren’t any of Claypool’s goofy cartoon qualities. It’s a lot of heavy metal chops mixed with prog-rock timing and atmospheric experimentations. Huth likes to go for that slow, deep, powerful sound, though it sounds nothing like the Melvins or later-era Black Flag. His affinity for Zeppelin riff-rock is balanced by a love for math rock, atonal noises and passionate vocals.—Aaron Carnes

I Love This City THINGS GOT A BIT confusing when the I Love This City festival moved from AT&T Park in San Francisco to Shoreline in Mountain View. Aside from the now-unclear question of what city is getting the love from this new EDM festival, there was some lineup shuffling as well. It worked out well for ravers, especially on Friday, where Dutch DJ Afrojack and Swedish House Mafia head Sebastian Ingrosso were added to the lineup when the festival moved. Friday also features James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, as well as Duck Sauce, Steve Aoki, Datsik, the Crystal Method, Cut Chemist, Dirtyphonics, Holy Ghost!, Shoreline AraabMuzik, Borgore, Cookie Monsta and more.

Amphitheatre Saturday’s bill is topped by Tiesto, David Guetta and Laidback Luke. Doctor P., Excision, Feed Me, Apparat, Fri-Sat May 25-26 Kill the Noise, Felix Cartal, Jaguar Skills, Miles the DJ and others will also perform. Festival hours have been 1:30pm; $50-$99 extended until 11:30pm each night thanks to the move.

There will be three stages, and the festival is now open to ages 16 and over. Anyone who bought a ticket for the festival while it was still at AT&T will receive a special wristband that gets them into reserved seating, and buses will carry earlier ticketholders in S.F. from The Lot at AT&T to Shoreline and back both days.—Steve Palopoli

BARFLY: AZUCAR

;8E:< =<M<I 8q ZXiÊj [XeZ\ Ô ffi f]k\e fm\iÔ fnj n`k_ i\m\c\ij%

Saucy Nights AZÚCAR n. 1 Spanish for “sugar.” 2 A saucy nightclub, bar and restaurant in the heart of downtown San Jose, a local hotspot for Latin-style nightlife.

At 10pm, Azúcar is already on fire. The DJ spins a spicy song mix of salsa, merengue and hip-hop, while strobe lights flash, splaying a rainbow of colors over the ceiling and the dancers. Beautiful women in flowing dresses shake their bodies on the dance floor, their hips seductively circling.

The bar is as crowded as the dance floor. Bartenders scramble back and forth from one end of the counter to the other while customers stand elbow to elbow, arms raised, desperate to gain bartenders’ Azúcar undivided attention. The growing crowd quickly makes the bar an uncomfortable place to sit, so I move to a lounge area.

71 E. San I skirt around the floor and weave around a line for the men’s Fernando St., room, line stretching onto the dance floor. I plop down in one San Jose of the few unoccupied chairs in the relatively quiet corner of the club.

Even though I’m here for Cinco de Mayo, those familiar with Azúcar know this is just the typical weekend night (aside from the traditional Cinco décor: red, white and green balloons, Corona and Modelo banners and a cardboard standup of a vaquero of sorts with the face cut out, which some guy grinds against). With its DJs, live Latin bands and gorgeous women, Azúcar is a sweet treat for those who spend the evening there.

The action slows for a moment when the DJ signs off for the night. The crowd wanders idly, some moving to the bar, others to the chairs and couches until the live band begins playing. The crowd, re-energized, sashays across the floor, “Scan for more Images clapping their hands, stomping their feet and shaking of Azucar” their booties to the salsa tunes.—The Barfly

CONCERT

JkfZb =fkf SOMETIMES IT’S difficult for a band to find its target audience. Rich Ajlouny and Anthony Gullicksen of San Jose’s Stock Foto found it in the place they least expected: Santana Row. “There were these 16- and 17-year-old girls from a prom or something, and they loved it. We were surprised by that, because we played two sets and they came back later, dancing on the lawn. So, we knew then what the demographic could be,” Ajlouny says.

Stock Foto’s music is an amalgamation of stripped-down rock sensibility, with roots in post-punk. “We want something fun, something people can dance to,” Ajlouny says. “Something that’s nostalgic, Blank Club retro and yet forward thinking. Something that will remind people of the best post-punk new wave era of the ’80s, and Fri., May 25 something that will not only rejuvenate them, but inspire the young kids who wish they were alive then.”

9pm; $8 The local group has been playing the downtown area’s venues lately, but with the enlightenment from the Santana Row show, has been shifting their focus. “It seems like the younger crowd does like it and that’s the crowd that really gets addicted to a band,” Gullicksen says.

This, however, doesn’t mean they’re going to change their style of music.

“We’re doing a rock and roll thing,” Ajlouny says. “I want it to be pure rock & roll.

It’s guitar, bass and drums. I think the lyrics are funny. The melodies are catchy.

The tempo is fast.”

“The volume is loud,” Gullicksen jokes.

“There’s something retro and familiar about us—meat and potatoes rock & roll, a la Replacements,” Ajlouny adds.

Stock Foto has recorded a couple demos, but they still have yet to make an album.

“We’re thinking about upgrading to some better equipment to record, maybe go into a studio. I’ve been using this old Roland 1680 digital recorder from ’98, and it’s starting to crap out on me,” Ajlouny says.

But their live set is what keeps them going. They feed off the audience and get inspired by the people who come see them. “We want people to walk away thinking, ‘Wow, you don’t hear that every day anymore.’ I base the success of a show by how many people were dancing. Luckily, at every single show, people are dancing,” Gullicksen says.

“I want people to feel exhilaration and be impressed by the melodies,” Ajlouny says. “A lot of people go to shows and don’t expect it to be good. They’re just politely standing by. I want people to come up to us and express exactly how they were feeling.”—Beau Dowling

Each bus will take blood from four people at a time for an average duration of 15 minutes per person, with a goal of turnstyling 100 people in and out of the buses.

The blood drive is part of a program Craig Bright, founder of the Human Renaissance Movement, organized in honor of Dr. Charles Drew, an African-American surgeon who pioneered blood transfusions and blood banks during the early years of World War II. Past collectives to hold blood drives with Bright’s nonprofit organization include Holistic Pain Management Institute Wellness Center & Cannabis Buyers Collective and

Natural Herbal Pain Relief (NHPR).

Doug Chloupek, president of MedMar, says his event isn’t just trying to draw blood, though. MedMar also plans to attract donors by packaging the blood drive with a car show, arts and crafts vendors, two or three food trucks, and a concert featuring San Jose born-and-bred bluesman Maxx Cabello Jr. By the end of the day, blood and buds could both be taking a backseat.

Chloupek says he created the event with Bright, a family friend, after seeing the work he did with other collectives, which Bright says resulted in 220 blood donations from three drives. “He had worked with two or three dispensaries in the past on smaller stuff,” Chloupek says, “but nobody in San Jose has tried to do something at this caliber and magnitude.

“The goal is to have about 300 people sign up at least, which will mean we can donate enough blood to save about 300 people’s lives.”

Lisa Block, the director of communication for Blood Centers of the Pacific, confirmed those numbers in an email. “Because most blood donations are subsequently separated in to three different blood components—red blood cells, platelets and plasma—a blood drive that

collects 100 donations can help save up to 300 lives,” she wrote.

The number of people disqualified from donating blood is on average about two-thirds, and included in the list of disqualifications are getting a tattoo in the last year, recreational drug use that involves needles and having sex for money or drugs since 1977. (Fair or not, being a sexually active gay man is also a disqualifier.)

Tattoo lovers shouldn’t feel completely shunned, though. Realizing the year layoff required between donating blood after getting a tattoo, Ralph Hernandez, of Player’s Ink, is offering customers a 20-percent discount on a person’s next tattoo if they donate blood at MedMar on June 2. One thing that won’t necessarily preclude a person from donating, however, is having THC in their system.

“The use of alcohol or cannabis on a recreational basis would not in and of itself necessarily prevent a person from donating blood if the donor otherwise appears healthy and is not intoxicated,” William Hackley, an assistant director with the Blood Centers, wrote in an email. He added, “Not being intoxicated by any substance is to ensure that the pre-donation questionnaire is answered accurately and for the ‘informed consent’ to donate blood.”

To register for the June 2 blood drive, call 408.385.9600 or go to www.bloodheroes. com and enter the sponsor code: medmar.
