Size Doesn’t Matter

I was reading your article, “Cannabis Clubbing” by Alyssa Kies, released on June 13, and I was really disappointed with how such a decent article ended: “You will never hear

the grating, ‘Yeah, that one’s good, too,’ from a budtender hired for her bra size.” Really, Alyssa/Metro? I find it shocking that your female journalist would make a low-blow comment that objectifies women with such ease. Implying that some women are hired solely because of their “bra size” is appalling and a classless comment that really should have been omitted during the editing process. Never do you hear of a man being hired because of their “bulge size.” I hope that if this journalist is sent out to review dispensaries again, she considers blaming the employee’s lack of engagement with their job, or lack of product knowledge, before their bra size.

BRIANNA MARIE | SAN JOSE

‘Blood’ and Ink A quick note to Sean Cornwell: I read your review of the play Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson (“Emo Prez,” Stage, June 13) and wondered how you could write so glowingly about a stoned racist, citing him as “a maverick who took on the Indians.”

You showed your insensitivity, ignorance or both by not at the very least citing the “Trail of Tears” and his blatant disregard for the rights of a people who were here before the Europeans set foot on this continent. You really should examine history before you write about it.

LASANA | PALO ALTO

The San Jose City Council, with the help of Mitty High School, is planning to rip up much of the grass at John Mise Park and install an artificial turf field, perimeter steel fencing and a 30stall parking lot. The neighbors are not opposed to Mitty High using the park as a practice field; they’re opposed to the destruction of the park’s natural condition. The city’s parks commission recommended that another site be found for the artificial sports field.

(The old football field at the former Blackford High campus, and/or the soccer field near the old Rogers Middle School would be suitable alternatives.)

The effort to save the natural condition of Mise Park is only beginning. The bulldozers aren’t scheduled to come in and destroy the park until August. We hope that other San Jose residents will join the effort to save a city park.

“Don’t let Mitty and the city destroy Mise Park!”

SanJoseInside.com An inside look at San Jose politics

Monday Night Live!

SAN JOSE’S politicos yet again took to the stage to embarrass themselves and each other at the 19th Annual Monday Night Live! fundraiser for the San Jose Stage Company. Councilmember Nancy Pyle hosted the event, and the old dame did her best Betty White sendup in between jokes about race, policymaking and penises.

Two years ago, his photographs comprised the first official art show at the Usuals, a new clothing boutique on that exact

stretch of The Alameda.

For that show, Marcotte exhibited photos of what the street used to look like, as well as its immediate surroundings. He presented shots of Plant 51 as it first morphed into condos and also the building that occupied the vacant lot now perennially slotted for Whole Foods.

He captured Henry’s Hi-Life and other legendary buildings.

Now Marcotte will exhibit more photos at the Usuals, beginning with a reception this Friday, featuring music

by Seabright. Still under the nom de plume of Lost San Jose, his photos and work continue to depict the eternal cycles of creation and destruction that have characterized San Jose for decades. (His website is www. lostsanjose.com.)

When he first began to exhibit his photography, Marcotte concentrated primarily on the world-class San Jose

landmarks we natives know and love: the statue of Babe the Muffler Man, the neon dancing-pig sign at Stephen’s Meat Products and the time-forgotten thoroughfare of Monterey Highway.

Now his work is maturing. Marcotte explains that instead of concentrating on actual icons, he is beginning to develop his own personal relationship with the lost stories of San Jose’s landscape as a whole.

“My work has evolved to not just documenting the historical and fantastical side of Silicon Valley but to the everyday,” he says. “The emptiness, the sprawl, the clutter, the abandonment and also the people that wander these places. And I’ve also turned the camera on myself. I’m documenting my reflection and my shadow, out playing in the city streets, seeing the portraits as they come up.”

Marcotte started this endeavor years ago, writing down his interpretations of what was left behind by the San Jose Redestruction Agency, while simultaneously taking amateur shots with throwaway cameras. He never imagined an audience that would identify with his perspective. After all, most people here seem to feel satisfied with chain restaurants, uniform

condos and strip malls. To most, this appears to constitute enough of a sense of place, so why explore any further than that? Why would anyone possibly be interested in historical architecture, crumbling ruins, local history and the stories beneath every rock and pebble?

“At one point, I just started putting these things online, and I didn’t know if anyone would ever see it, or what the reaction would be,” Marcotte recalls. “But people really connected with the project. They understood it from a historical standpoint, from a preservation standpoint. Some people saw the humor in the images, the odd day-to-day things you find when you take a minute to stop and look around. I was surprised at just how encouraging and supportive everybody was, that people understood the passion I have, and that other people shared that same passion.”

As a result of Marcotte showing his work, other photographers began to contact him and swap clues to other hidden locales throughout the ruins of San Jose’s underbelly—a universal quest, it seems, to locate forgotten stories between the cracks. His work has inspired others to explore and document and research the history of this landscape. A blight-junkie revolution is brewing, whether mainstream San Jose realizes it or not.

Over at the Usuals, they are selling shirts depicting the old Hart’s Department Store. A new generation of locals is discovering the history of this town. Operated by a native San Jose brother and sister, the Usuals has helped spawn a minirenaissance along The Alameda. They sell a variety of goods for young urban folk. All the T-shirts and jewelry are by local designers. The clothing line is mostly from West Coast designers. The art exhibits go down once a month.

“They give the artists a lot of control as to what goes into their show,” Marcotte says. “They pretty much let you do what you like. They encourage you to be creative.”

PILLARS AND TONGUES

CLAYTON WILLIAMS B-DAY

Anno Domini, San Jose Wed – 7:30pm; $5

Studio 8, San Jose Thu – 10pm; free

The term “experimental gospel” doesn’t come up in a lot of bands’ musical descriptions. But sure enough, there it is in Chicago trio Pillars & Tongues’ bio. Like most labels, however, it falls well short of capturing the essence of what the group is all about. Using layers of harmonized vocals and accompanying them with little more than a violin or a double bass—if anything at all—Pillars & Tongues approaches Americana and gospel with a style that’s both hauntingly simplistic and ambitiously complex. (CC)

Local hip hop/R&B producer Clayton Williams likes to multitask.

Case in point: He’s throwing himself a big birthday bash at Studio 8, where he’s going to also publicly announce his wedding to Nayelli Henriquez. Plus there will be a bunch of local hip-hop and R&B artists—many of whom work with the couple’s production company, Ondabeat—performing, like the P-Jays, Pretty Vicious, Jay Cee, Jay Leez and Furious. (AC)

GLOWING STARS San Jose Museum of Art, San Jose Thu – 5pm-9pm; $5 It’s hard for a lot of people to wrap their minds around the chiptune sound, which comes out of video-game music and generally features at least one Game Boy being played as an instrument.

The thing about the Glowing Stars duo of Lizzie Cuevas and Matthew Payne is that they really humanize the genre for people, and to my mind have the best chance of crossover success. Try to explain how 8-bit processors play a role and even a lot of the cool kids shut down. But thanks to the Glowing Stars mixing of the electronics with the traditional band setup—Cuevas plays guitar and sings, Payne drums and does some vocals in addition to his programming duties—I think

_\cgj ^\k k_\ Ó ijk n\\b\e[ f] k_\ JkXe]fi ]] kf X ifXi`e ^ jkXik% [

AXqq =\jk`mXc f

they bring out what’s interesting and new about chiptune while still being accessible to the rock crowd. Cuevas’ lyrics (“I swear I’m not a stalker/And I don’t need a doctor/To analyze what’s going through my head”) are funny and relatable, and they’re both great at connecting with the audience live.

They’ll play this “Tech Connect” event at the Museum, which also features artist Kathy Aoki. (SP)

*fri

POUNDERS Blank Club, San Jose Fri –9pm; $10 Chris Pounders is having quite a year. The David Lynch video

he appears in, for “Crazy Clown Time,” finally came out. He plays the character of Dee Dee, in what amounts to a creepy, literal depiction of the song’s lyrics. Of all the characters having a “crazy clown time” in the video’s dimly lit backyard, Pounders’ has the craziest. (Watch for the moment around 3:15 where he douses his Mohawk in lighter fluid and lights it on fire. It’s just an effect, of course, but it’s a pretty convincing one.) Now his San Jose poppunk band Pounders is having its busiest month ever in June, winding up this week with their gigs at Warped Tour and on the main stage at S.F. Pride. But before that, they’ll play their biggest local show in quite some time at Blank—an excellent opportunity for the hometown crowd to make a showing for one of the fastest ascending South Bay bands.

STANFORD JAZZ FESTIVAL Stanford University Jun 22–Aug. 4; about $15 to mid-$40s The prodigious summer jazz series gets underway tonight at 8pm with an appearance by the Danilo Pérez Trio, one of the better Latin-jazz combos on the scene.

Other highlights of the weekend include a sensational pairing of Bobby Hutcherson and the Joey DeFrancesco Trio (Saturday at 8pm); and singer/guitarist Lionel Loueke and his trio (Sunday at 7:30pm). On Saturday (at 10am), Jam Nadel presents his popular workshop introducing kids to the joys of jazz. All of these concerts are at Dinkelspiel Auditorium on the Stanford campus. (MSG)

CROPBURNER Caravan, San Jose Fri – 9pm; free Cropburner believes their music should be called “ganja metal,” and I, for one, am convinced. On Facebook, they list their influences as “Black Sabbath, the Melvins, Sleep and Black Sabbath.” Wow, if they are as high when they play the Caravan as they were when they listed their influences, then we know we’re in for some awesome, super-slow, sludgy, trippy ganja metal for sure. Might be as good as Black Sabbath, or even Black Sabbath. They play with San Jose’s the Conceal, whose self-described “rock/loud/ugly” music is in a similar vein. (AC)

*sat *tue PRIMUS & FISHBONE

Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz Sat – 8pm; $48 adv/$50.50 Primus and Fishbone both had unexpected careers. Fishbone was, in the mid-’80s, arguably the best club band around. By the early ’90s, however, it was the Red Hot Chili Peppers who blew up instead. Fishbone toiled in the nightclub scene eking out a career.

Primus, on the other hand, got way bigger than anyone could have ever imagined. Who would have guessed a spastic quirky metal band this weird would have such a wildly successful career? (AC)

SQUEEZE

Mountain Winery, Saratoga Tue – 7:30pm; $45–$125 Squeeze wasn’t a ska band but couldn’t have existed without it.

I will bet money that it’s just as easy to skank to “Cool for Cats” as anything that came out of the 2-Tone movement. The band had broken up twice, and been gone for nearly a decade by the time they reunited in 2007. In the meantime, hits like “Tempted” “Hourglass” and “Black Coffee in Bed” became staples. They play this show with the B-52s, who have strangely become a summer staple in the South Bay. (SP)

IN MEMORIAM

Tiffany Glenn DANCER Tiffany Glenn died Monday, June 18, at the age of 33 after a six-year battle with cancer. Glenn, who performed with Ballet San Jose, calmly and unflinchingly confronted the illness with a courage and resolve that moved her friends and colleagues.

She was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in June 2006 at the age of 27. After undergoing a mastectomy, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, she returned to Ballet San Jose with a shaved head to dance in the Nutcracker that December.

A Nichiren Buddhist by choice, Glenn performed with Dance Theatre of Harlem and trained at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center before coming to California. She taught hip-hop dance at a San Jose dance school when she wasn’t with the ballet.

In 2009, she choreographed a contemporary three-part ballet to a trio of songs from the soul singer John Legend. “I wanted to expose people to the idea that we don’t have to always have ballet to classical music,” Glenn said. “At the end of my life, I would like to say, ‘I created this style of dance, Glenn Movement.’ If it were to turn into a technique, that would be my ultimate goal,” she said. “This is part of a major time for me—to be able to create this on a main stage, it has been a wonderful opportunity,” she explained about the 2009 performance.

The cancer returned this spring. Glenn continued dancing even while undergoing treatments. Ballet San Jose announced her retirement at the end of the spring season. She returned to her family home in Washington, D.C., but treatments proved unsuccessful. Glenn was placed in a hospice last week and was surrounded by friends and family in her final days.

Thinking Big FOR Andre Bormanis, a long-time science consultant for the Star Trek franchise and guest speaker at this weekend’s SETICon in San Jose, some things in science fiction have grounding in actual science: like binary pulses and the theory of symbiogenesis. Other things, he tells me, might not be as logical. Teleportation, for example, with characters getting beamed to and from different starships and planets, is not possible, he admits. “You’re essentially tearing someone apart, killing them and then putting them back together,” Bormanis explains. “I don’t think that would ever be practical.”

This weekend, at the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara, J<K@Zfe Bormanis will be participating in panel discussions at SETIcon II, an event dedicated to thinking about June 22–24; space exploration, technology, imagination and $25 and up education. He will be joined by other scientists, Hyatt Regency, science fiction authors, artists and space lovers to Santa Clara participate in a wide selection of conversations.

Bormanis will moderate a panel discussion about the impact the discovery of extraterrestrial beings would have on human religion. Among the other speakers scheduled for SETIcon II are animator Gabriel Alvarado-Marin, explorer Nathalie A. Cabrol, SETI pioneer Frank Drake, astronomers Debra Ann Fischer and Andrew Fraknoi and science guy Bill Nye. (Read a full interview with Andre Bormanis on SanJose.com.)—Matt Miller

YOUR SISTERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SISTER

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER

(R; 90 min.) Iris (Emily Blunt) invites Jack (Mark Duplass) to stay at her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s island getaway after the death of his brother. Irisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sister, Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), and Jack have a drunken encounter that colors their stay in poignant ways.

(Opens Fri at Camera 7 and Aquarius.)

(R; 105 min.) Produced by Tim Burton, and based on the popular book. (Opens Fri at Camera 12.)

GOODBYE FIRST LOVE (NR; 110 min.) A French-language

Scottish Yarn SCOTLAND, sometime in the secondhalf of the ďŹ rst eon: in Brave, the clans are uneasily united under mountainous King Fergus (voiced by Billy Connolly).

Bears are still a threat. Much celebrated is the time the King fought oďŹ&#x20AC; the demon bruin Morâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;du, losing his leg in the process.

Budding Princess Merida (Kelly Macdonald) is a charming redhead warrior who loves to speed on her charger, thwacking arrows into targets.

But her mother decides it is time for her to marry. Three unsuitable suitors sail in: a chinless twerp, a beaky punk and a pudding-faced lummox. Merida runs away, and in the darkest part of the forest, she encounters a cracked and elderly wood carver (Julie Walters) who is bribed for a spell to change her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind.

This spell backďŹ res drastically.

The moral of Brave is â&#x20AC;&#x153;legends are lessons.â&#x20AC;? This Pixar cartoon proves the rule by doing what fairy tales do best: it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just divert a kid with fantasy, it also commiserates with children. It illuminates the turmoil that exists in the best families. Any adolescent daughter or mother might feel Braveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allegory keenly, especially when the argument here goes to DEFCON after the elder

) pulls rank: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the Queen. You listen to me.â&#x20AC;?

Yes, Brave is a galloping, hilarious adventure; Merida ends up playing charades with a bear, in a passage worthy of Chuck Jones. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a very 9iXm\ serious ďŹ lm: it observes PG; 128 min. the animal level of fury Opens Friday that arises in a family feud.

If Brave deserves its PG, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because of the quality of the violence, but because of what that violence expresses. Hardly any cartoons, and even fewer features, go where this movie goes. And there were moments when I felt I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been this rapt by a medieval fantasy since Lord of the Rings.

3-D or not 3-D, that is the question.

Not. The plastic goggles mute the color spectrum so much that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be better to have it ďŹ&#x201A;atâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to fully take in the darkness of the forestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greens, meant to make Meridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ne red hair pop out. The ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one snag: Braveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reconciliation seems too smooth, given the scale of the ďŹ ght.

(This weekend, June 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;24, Camera 7 in Campbell celebrates the opening of Brave with events, prizes and music.) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Richard von Busack

CONCERT

El Dia De San Juan FOR 34 YEARS, the Puerto Rican festival El Dia De San Juan has brought traditional Puerto Rican foods, dance and music to San Jose. For music, that of course means salsa and meringue, but the folks behind the event didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the festival to only feature traditional Puerto Rican music. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve included a second stage, dubbed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youth Stage,â&#x20AC;?which has been in the Sat, Jun. 23, 11am festival the past four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to touch base with the younger crowd.

The main stage is the salsa stage. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the older folks. On the youth stage, we have a lot of the younger performers, kids from the community,â&#x20AC;? says Rene Baez, the booker for the youth stage.

Baez hopes to continue to expand the music genres and cultural diversity represented on the youth stage. Already this year, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s booked MexicanAmerican musicians and African American musicians.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a Puerto Rican Festival. We reached out to a lot of people.

A lot of folks didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get involved because they kind of saw it as a Latino kind of festival, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t true. We are looking to reach out to everybody. This is an event that people in the Bay Area and San Jose really look forward to every year, just the same as the jazz festival,â&#x20AC;? Baez says.

Most of the performers theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve booked on the youth stage this year are hip-hop, and quite a few of them live here in San Jose. The headliners are an East Bay group called Los Rakas. Originally from Panama, the duo moved to Oakland when they were in high school, so they have musical inďŹ&#x201A;uences from both countries. They rap primarily in Spanish over traditional hip-hop club beats, but mix in loops and samples from Latin music.

Quintron and Miss Pussycat IF YOU WANT to see how strange Quintron’s shows can get, just watch the video for his song “Freedom.” He comes off as downright odd offstage, too, and is known for pranking interviewers who try to get a grip on what this indie-rock cult hero is really like (showing up in a wheelchair, claiming to be married to his cousin, that kind of thing).

You’d think his band mates at least would have some insight into the New Orleans’ musician’s psyche, but he’s cleverly made his reputation as a oneman band. Talk about insular: he’s even invented several of the instruments that go into his percussion-heavy, beat-driven sound. They’re all pretty fascinating—the Wed, Jun. 27 “spit machine” used saliva to change the pitch on a hand organ—but the defining Quintron instrument Blank Club, has got to be the Drum Buddy (pictured above), which San Jose turned the drums into a multimedia show of light and sound, and even had its own infomercial.

8pm; $10 There is one person Quintron frequently collaborates with: his wife, Miss Pussycat. The addition of her vocals (not to mention the puppets) gives some of their songs a certain B-52s-onacid quality. Another recent collaboration netted Quintron a part in an appropriately weird Grammy nomination. Cajun band Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys got a “Best Regional Roots Music Album” nod this year for their 2011 album Grand Isle, which featured a cover of the Quintron song “Chatterbox.” Q himself recorded and played organ on Grand Isle’s version. He may never get a Grammy for his own “swamp tech” sound, but it’s not likely to affect his long run of 13 albums and various wild projects (art installations, field recordings, etc.). Still, we can all mourn for the totally freaky acceptance speech he would have prepared.—Steve Palopoli

Detox Sunday w/ JASK THERE’S ONLY three dates left for the final season of Detox Sunday’s Pool Party, the popular daytime dance party out by the pool at the Beverly Heritage Hotel in Milpitas.

Sun, Jun. 24 This Sunday, JASK headlines the event. He brings two decades of experience and an emphasis on soul, Beverly Heritage jazz and hip-hop to his parties, which is perfect for Hotel Milpitas the wild vibe Detox Sundays have already established.

“They’re extremely energetic, loud, crazy, just constant movement. People dance, eat, drink, you name it. They do swim, too,” says Detox Sundays promoter Aimée Escobar.

Sunday – 2pm; $15 before 3pm

Detox Sundays were inspired by Rehab in Las Vegas. The idea was to mix a summertime pool party atmosphere with the nightclub vibe. The parties start between noon and 2pm, depending on the main DJ, and go until sunset.

Five years ago, Detox Sundays were an instant hit and stayed that way their entire run. There’s no sign that they are losing any popularity this year. If anything, they’ve seen a slight increase, which is due in part to this being their final season, but also because this season is shorter, ending in August instead of September. Still, Escobar is ready to go out on top.

“For anything to do with nightlife, five years is usually the run and then you reinvent yourself into something different. We’re creating new possibilities for ourselves by pushing forward,” she says, admitting she’s prepping a new idea, but isn’t ready to announce it just yet. —Aaron Carnes

The High Times Medical Cannabis Cup comes to the Bay Area from June 23-24. The weed culture magazine brought its 24-year-old competition to the States from Amsterdam three years ago with a new focus on the medicinal properties of cannabis.

Contrary to what geographicallyignorant promoters may slap on posters, the Cup takes place in Richmond, a hop, skip and a BART across the bay from S.F. But it isn’t necessary to travel all the way to Richmond or cough up the $65 entrance fee to sample some of the best chronic that NorCal has to offer. San Jose’s dispensaries have done the city’s patients proud in the Cup’s two-year history. In 2010, Purple Lotus Patient Center’s Durban Poison placed third in the Sativa category. In 2011, Harborside Health Center’s San Jose location took first

in the Indica cup with its zesty, piney Boggle Gum. For the past two years, Elemental Wellness Center’s True OG has placed second in the Indica category. Last year they took home three awards but didn’t take first in any category.

They’re hoping for that to change.

“We’re going for first this year,” shouts an enthusiastic vendor at Elemental’s HempCon booth this past weekend.

The fact that in the past 10 years only two different distributors have won Amsterdam’s Cannabis Cup suggests that judges are biased towards high profile dispensaries with well-known strains. But Canna Culture Collective’s Marcus David says new blind tasting rules will give newcomers a chance at victory. This year’s Cup will be the first competition in which the 10-month-old dispensary has ever participated.

David is hoping the dispensary’s CBD-enriched Cannamin Juice will win over judges in the Edibles category. “People need a controlled and higher dose of CBD,” he says, explaining that heating up CBDs during smoking causes psychoactivity,

so the juice caters to patients that want pain relief without the head high. Canna Culture Collective produces this juice exclusively for their collective.

“I’m not too worried about bias,” David says. “I’m just looking forward to who has the best herb.”

But how do judges know which herb is the best?

“There’s a lot more to growing great flowers than high THC content,” says San Jose Patient’s Group’s Mike Key, known to patients as Uncle Mike.

“There are sativas with higher THC contents than this one, but we didn’t choose it for competition,” Key says of the dispensary’s entry in the sativa category, a Super Train Wreck strain containing 17.8 percent THC—a modest amount for a competitionworthy crop.

Judges take into account the look and smell of the entries, and look for herb that burns evenly and leaves a light grey ash, a sign of proper flushing. When it’s time to choose a winner, however, it’s anybody’s game.

“I think, for a lot of the judges, what it really comes down to is personal preference,” says Key. “I don’t know why it would be any other way.”
