So Kind of You I’m a down-on-her-luck type who never wins anything—raffles, free samples, the lottery, you name it—so standing next in line behind someone who pays it forward took me by surprise. It was at the chain coffee shop on the corner of McKee Road and Capitol Avenue in San Jose. You, wearing a baseball cap and a Cal Berkeley hoody, went up to the cash register and then asked me and the next woman in line what we’d like to order. The other lady and I had the same stunned look on our faces, like, “Who, me?”

What a lovely way to start the morning. Thank you for picking up the tab.

I’ll make a point now of relaying the kindness to someone else.

THE FLY

Forum Fury

SVNEWS

Just two months before Election Day, Santa Clara is appealing a judge’s ruling to replace an at-large voting system deemed discriminatory to non-white candidates with six City Council districts. Given the court-ordered overhaul and the city’s legal challenge, there’s a lot of confusion over how things will play out Nov. 6.

So it’s unsurprising that Santa Clara is facing blowback for ending a longstanding tradition of hosting candidate forums. After all, this is arguably one of the most consequential election years in the city’s history.

But after reviewing policy, City Attorney BRIAN DOYLE and City Manager DEANNA SANTANA decided that the city should no longer sponsor political forums.

If a neutral third party wants to take on the They responsibility, that’s an Did option, they explained, What? but the city will do nothing more than offer SEND TIPS TO its council chambers to FLY@ METRONEWS. the League of Women COM Voters or some other organization willing to take the lead.

To Mayor LISA GILLMOR’s critics, the decision appears politically motivated—a way for her allies at City Hall to spare her the trouble of facing prospective voters alongside her re-election challenger, ANTHONY BECKER. “This wasn’t even decided by a council vote,” Becker says. “All of a sudden, apparently, we’re making the rules up as we go.”

MARIO BOUZA, who’s running against RAJ CHAHAL and NANCY BIAGINI for the newly created District 2 seat, says the timing is suspect.

“Why now?” Bouza wonders. “Everybody is shaking their heads because it just doesn’t look right. The city attorney and the city manager are appointees of Gillmor and her allies, and while I’ve always been a fan of Ms. Gillmor, this kind of behavior makes it look like they’re running a dictatorship.”

Gillmor says she had nothing to do with the city’s decision. “I love those forums,” she says. “But they’re not canceled; they just need a new host.”

ZERO VISION San Jose’s “Vision Zero” plan to reduce traffic deaths is incompatible with some of the city’s roadway expansions.

Street Smart An overpass project tests San Jose’s pledge to reduce traffic deaths

BY GRACE HASE

W

HEN SAN JOSE mapped the path for a future overpass linking Charcot Avenue to Silkwood Lane on the other side of Interstate 880, only a few warehouses and empty lots stood on either side of the project.

That was in 1994.

Though still largely industrial, the neighborhood on the planned I-880 crossing’s western side is now home to Orchard Elementary School. If the city builds the Charcot Avenue extension as planned to ease traffic caused by commuters trying to find a way around stop-and-go freeway congestion, it would land right next to the children’s playground.

But it looks like that’s exactly what the city plans to do, despite backlash from parents concerned about how the inevitable influx of cars would affect their kids’ safety.

“We feel like we’re the only school in the city where they try to increase traffic instead of calming traffic, and we don’t think that’s fair,” says Robin Roemer, one of the parents organizing against the project.

The direct impact may be limited to only one school, but the conflict between the San Jose’s blueprint for future growth and traffic safety has broader implications. At least, that’s the way Chris Johnson sees it. As program manager of Walk San Jose, a pedestrian safety advocacy group, he wants the city to uphold the commitment it made three years ago when it adopted its so-called

Vision Zero policy: to eliminate traffic deaths altogether. And he thinks the whole city—perhaps even other jurisdictions—could learn a lot from the hyper-local dispute over the Charcot-Silkwood extension.

“Adding commercial through traffic, inducing traffic into a school zone, is fundamentally incompatible with a commitment to Vision Zero,” Johnson says emphatically.

Vision Zero is part of a global effort to reduce traffic fatalities by identifying dangerous roadways, enforcing laws more effectively, educating the public and, ultimately, moving away from car-centric engineering by designing city streets for pedestrians.

In San Jose, activists have been trying to ensure that Vision Zero is more than just aspirational. Walk San Jose and its comrade-in-arms California Walks have been pushing city officials to turn streets, sidewalks and bike paths into a physical manifestation of that vision. That’s more than a feel-good ambition about designing some aesthetically pleasing city of the future, Johnson points out.

People’s lives literally depend on it.

rallying the opposition, collecting 600 signatures in a two-week span to support her goal of going back to the drawing board. Many of those parents want to stop the Charcot extension completely, which Zahir Gulzadah, one of the city’s senior transportation specialists, says isn’t really an option. The city has to follow through with the infrastructure projects laid out in the General Plan to accommodate population growth and the attendant influx of traffic. Plus, the Charcot overpass isn’t some isolated project; it overlaps with three others. Gulzadah says the extension was approved as part of the San Jose 2020 General Plan and its latest iteration, Envision San Jose 2040, as part of a specific plan called the North San Jose Area Development Policy.

At public meetings this year, Gulzadah told residents that the city had two rarely used options for removing the entire project. City staff could recommend its removal to the City Council, which would have to authorize it with a majority vote, or the council itself could initiate the process.Neither of those options appears likely to pan out, however. In June, the council authorized a $2.5 million contract with BFK Engineers to proceed with the Charcot-toSilkwood extension.

Roemer and other critics of the overpass remain unsatisfied with efforts from city employees and their elected representative in council District 4. “We are especially disappointed about our Councilman Lan Diep, who we feel could do more to help us make our voices heard [and] facilitate the discussion with the city,” Roemer remarked soon after the June vote. “He likes to compare himself to Captain America and the real Captain America always jumps in front of moving cars to save innocent lives. But he seems to be more concerned about the flow of traffic instead of the health of our children.”

Johnson agrees that city officials should have approached the project differently by looking at it through a Vision Zero lens. “The plan is from a time when this school wasn’t here,” he says. “It’s also from a time when our thinking on transportation safety and priorities was very different.”

E

homicide count. The number of carrelated deaths has fluctuated from 42 in 2013 to a high of 60 in 2015 and declined again to 50 in 2016 and 46 last year. The number of those deaths involving cars hitting cyclists and pedestrians went from 24 in 2015 and declined to 16 last year. On its website, the San Jose Police Department calls the statistics on pedestrian deaths “a disturbingly high number.”

Alcohol and drugs are a common factor, as are, increasingly, cell phones.

But SJPD notes that the majority of the traffic fatalities happen on the busiest and widest roadways and often at night. Public safety advisories tend to warn pedestrians to look up from their phones, wear brighter clothing and avoid jaywalking.

However, the fact that busy multilane thoroughfares are the most common denominator suggests that city planners have a bigger role to play in preventing pedestrian deaths.

There’s a cultural acceptance of traffic fatalities that makes cities complacent about that kind of longterm, systemic planning, Johnson says.

San Jose saw 50 percent more traffic deaths last year than murders, “but we don’t talk about it the same way,” he says. “In the U.S., and in California, too, it’s the leading cause of preventable death of people under 40 and the leading cause of death for children.”

If communities expressed more outrage over car-caused deaths and channeled that into efforts to prevent future fatalities, he added, then cities would be more likely to prioritize pedestrian safety.

That’s why the Charcot-Silkwood extension matters to more than just its immediate environs. It puts San Jose’s Vision Zero commitment to the test by forcing the city to balance conflicting priorities: pedestrian safety or easing rush-hour traffic.

The city warned the Orchard Elementary School’s parent district about building a campus on the Fox Avenue site. But that’s a moot point, parents like Roemer say. Now, the onus is on the city to adapt its conceptual plans to the realities of a school community that sprung up despite its warnings.

Orchard Elementary parents began meeting with city officials this past spring as part of the environmental scoping process. Concerned about the safety issues seemingly elided by the city’s plans, Roemer went about

WORKING IT A Metro columnist celebrates 700 weeks of outwitting the blinking cursor.

Snarky San Jose Subversive adventures have fueled Silicon Alleys columnist

BY GARY SINGH

A

S OF RIGHT now, this column officially joins the 700 club. That is, a total of 700 weeks have gone by since I started writing Silicon Alleys in 2005.

Milestones are better than gallstones, I suppose.

The history here is two-pronged.

Back when I was still sitting at Cactus Club’s happy hour with the cockroaches, the washed-up strippers, the Satanists and the homeless punks, Eric Carlson was writing a Metro

column called, “Notes From the Underbelly”—a major influence on me. He moved away in 2002, leaving serious shoes to fill.

By the time I came on board, Metro also featured a front-of-book column called “Biter,” an irreverent dose of random alt-San Jose snark. It was a rotating column, meaning, any one of us wrote it whenever we had an idea.

For my contributions, I went on the most ridiculous adventures I could find, all over the valley.

In November 2002, for example, I attended a bondage class outdoors

near Leathermasters on Park Avenue. The teacher led a handson seminar, in broad daylight, on the grass in someone’s backyard.

She tied me up in front of the whole class—we all had our clothes on—and demonstrated various knots and techniques. I then wrote a Biter column comparing the experience to that of San Jose itself, how downtown had been tying itself in knots for 30 years and was undergoing yet more phases of body modification, leaving its culture on the ropes. Many creative people at the time felt tied up and strangled just having to live here.

Over the next few years, I wrote many Biter columns, embarking on similar adventures. One week I went to a pub in Campbell and entered a bachelor auction for charity, planting two women in the crowd to jack up the bidding, but the whole thing failed miserably. In other columns, I went to Los Gatos and got a spray-on tan and attended a Walmart prank

at which no one showed up but the organizer. In a really dumb column, I even glorified the Asian fetishist creeps at a dubious new Vietnamese place called Sugars Coffee Bar. Thanks to my story bringing the joint above ground, the cops began shaking the place down and later closed it.

The fun didn’t stop there. At the Camden Community Center, I took a class in astral projection, taught by a goofy Australian mystic. In the story, I wrote, “If I can’t get my physical body the hell out of San Jose, well, at least I can get my astral body out of San Jose.”

Writing those Biter columns taught me an important lesson: I had discovered a natural talent for transforming any subject into ridicule of San Jose. Not in a hostile way, but as a local scribe covering his hometown in ways no one else would possibly do.

As a native, I’d grown up with all the trappings of a place that still after decades couldn’t figure out if it wanted to be a big city or a suburb. At the time, every giddy feel-good project San Jose tried to implement, and the ways in which it botched every desperate scheme to achieve name recognition, only seemed to reinforce its own attention-starved identity complex.

All of this was fertile ground for an overgrown snotty teenager with a killer vocabulary, so I plowed on as best I could. As a result, Metro gave me my own column, “Silicon Alleys,” in 2005 and you’re still reading it today.

With Silicon Alleys, the point from the beginning was to write something different every single week so the readers would never know what to expect. And I still try to uphold that strategy when feasible. “Alleys” just refers to anything off the beaten path—geographically, psychically or creatively.

Those Biter columns, as frivolous as they were, along with the first several years of writing the Silicon Alleys column, helped me find my own voice. I grew as a writer and as a person. Today, I no longer need to explode with juvenile tantrums, although it still happens every so often. Nevertheless, so long as the muse continues to show up each week, I will conjure words that hopefully resonate with someone, somewhere. Here’s to another 700!

TORCHED The Man is burned on the final night of Burning Man 2018.

T

WENTY-FIVE YEARS ago I wrote, arguably, the first “mainstream” newspaper story about Burning Man, which ran on the cover of Metro.

I got the Burning Man phone number from someone at a secretive monthly underground club called the “Anon Salon.” Daniel Kottke, Apple Employee No. 1, invited me there. (I met him while writing a story about Apple for Metro.) Maybe Daniel told me about “the burn.” But it could have been Burning Man founder Larry Harvey himself. When I dialed it, I heard a crackly message on an

answering machine that instructed me to mail in a check for $40 along with a formal request for a ticket.

The arrival of the first letter I ever got from Burning Man was odd and mysterious, covered with hand stamps and postmarks, and evocative of a place, far away, fanciful, maybe a little menacing. I unfolded a piece of red paper upon which the directions to the secret location were written. Red, so it couldn’t be photocopied and shared. It recommended that I needed a map and compass to find the location, which was far away in a small town in the Nevada desert I had never heard of—Gerlach.

And it warned: “People have died here.”

Like the underground “Anonymous” salon where I first heard of it, the desert gathering was secretive, it had an edge, it was word of mouth and it was hard to get there—weeding out the mere tourists from the true believers.

In many ways, the seeds of Burning Man (and much of Silicon Valley’s internet technology) were planted in that room, which was a collision of art, techno music, costumes and technology startups. The “Anon” as they called it, was hosted by Joegh Bullock and Mark "Spoonman" Petrakis, a creator of what he then called “interactive storytelling,” a precursor to multimedia and the internet’s first web sites.

Each room in the Anon was a

different installation. One room might have a giant sculpture of a head with three dimensional projections on it, another might have a demo of match. com (one of the first online dating sites), or perhaps, Andrew Johnstone would be demo-ing his “Virtual e-Playa”—an early multidimensional virtual reality fly over of a map of Burning Man that seemed at that time to have no practical purpose.

Many years later, Johnstone would have a chance meeting in 2006 with founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page at the “First Camp” at Burning Man. I was camped next to Andrew that year, and asked him how his meeting went.

“Oh it was wonderful!” he quipped

13

Looking back at 25 years of Burning Man

in his Scottish accent. “They were naked and body painted green and blue!” His creation later was acquired

by Google and incorporated in “Google Earth.” Zooming forward, at this year’s gathering, Johnstone led the design and build of the base of “The Man”—making sure it was structurally sound enough to be burned to the ground.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Let’s go back to 1993.

Internet Ideology Kyer Wiltshire

I met another burner—Craig Newmark, creator of Craigslist—at the Anon.

Newmark asked for my email address so he could add me to his “events list,” which was then just an email list of a few hundred people. When I scribbled my name into the notebook he carried around at parties, I was No. 15.

Even in the very beginning, the connection between the tech industry, the nascent internet and this mystical ritual in the desert, eight hours away, was right in front of us— but so close it was not obvious.

The merger of art, nature, shamanic practices, psychedelics, ritual and technology was bubbling up in places like Mondo 2000 magazine, Wired and within rave culture—and it was all coming together once a year in this convention of the unconventional, far away on a desert moonscape.

Burning Man circa 1993 was a startup. The experimental temporary autonomous zone of of Black Rock

City had, arguably, between 500 to 1,000 inhabitants.

Like many successful unicorns— Silicon Valley slang for startups with a billion dollar valuation—the early denizens of this temporary town had no idea it would mushroom into a bustling metropolis of some 70,000, and hundreds of smaller satellite “regional” burns and festivals worldwide.

Silicon Valley was still a cow town in 1993. Metro still had electric typewriters in the newsroom. The ubiquitous consumer internet—today just a few swipes away—hadn’t even been imagined.

Today Burning Man is a global force with hundreds spin off regional “burns.”

The DIY movement, Maker Faire and the “sharing economy” owe a great deal to Burning Man. The world was far more analog and less connected in 1993. But we would change that.

From Scratch When I stopped in the local gas station in Gerlach, Nevada to use the restroom, a black widow spider crawled across the floor. Taxidermists were lined up along the road, showing off beheaded local wild animals.

There were no roads at all. No signs. No fences. We drove 100 miles per hour in the direction of nowhere, across bare hard-caked alkali, laced with a network of cracks. The playa wasn’t dusty back then—it was packed hard, like cement. The sky, still a vivid, clear blue. If you wanted to

make a call, the Gerlach gas station pay phone was the place. After that, we were completely off the grid. And that was the point.

Back then the way to Burning Man was difficult, it was dangerous, but you were permitted to—in the words of one of today’s titans of tech, Mark Zuckerberg, another “burner”—“move fast and break things,” to drive as fast as you could across the barren, empty expanse until it appeared like a mirage.

There were few barriers to creativity in the beginning—anyone could be an artist or bring art or lead a workshop, and the lack of traditional “curation” created space for people who were not educated formally as architects or artists to get outside their comfort zone and create what the art world labels: “Outsider Art.” The event was held at the far edge of the playa then, against the purplish mountain range, and by the hot springs. We swam in the warm dusty water under shade trees all day long, as the trains whistled by, and blew their horns as we waved. Many of the art installations were literally in the mud of the hot springs, or hanging in the parched trees at its edge.

I could hear the trains or the thump of horses on the playa, miles away, or music vibrating through the earth, when I laid my ear next to the playa to sleep in my tiny tent. Because we hadn’t invented inexpensive laptops, or portable speakers, or any of the technologies these sound camps use now. All of that came later.

Somehow in the back of our minds we felt like we were practicing. Some have even speculated it was teaching us to survive a future where the Earth was very parched and dry, that we needed to prepare, all the time, for severe weather and disasters. We needed to return everything to a blank slate and “Leave no Trace,” haul it all away, so we could learn to calculate every drop of water we used, every watt of power we consumed and how to handle our trash and water and waste more ecologically.

As Burning Man’s late founder Larry Harvey said to me when I interviewed him for that 1993 story: “Life seems so precious against that vast waste of nothingness.” The nothingness of the desert gave us a blank white slate on which to create something new.

It was a primal, earthy event, closer to nature. The atmosphere was lawless, renegade and anarchistic.

Automatic weapons, rockets, explosives, the legendary Drive By Shooting Gallery... anything goes.

The burn was about getting away from rules, society, the mainstream, and living in a dreamscape where you could make your own rules, and start over from scratch.

Looking Back After 25 years of going to this festival— I’ve made the trek 14 times—years of my life involved passionately in art projects, it has become a significant part of me,

life involved passionately in art projects, it has become a significant part of me, and I, a part of it. I grew from a pure spectator, outsider, cynic, a journalist, into a participant at the deepest and highest levels, at one point I was elected “mayor” of one of the largest theme camps.

WE VOW TO KEEP SAVING WATER. To find out ways to save water and protect the environment, go to www.watersavings.org.

Like many lured into the fantastical mirage of Burning Man, I gave up everything outside that dreamworld and got sucked deep into it, so far that at one point I lost touch with the “Default World” and no longer cared about it.

This problem, it’s been noted can even suck in leaders like Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. This year it’s rumored he was told not to go to Burning Man by an angry board and shareholders who thought he was already too sleepdeprived and exhausted. But Musk’s girlfriend, the indie electronic musician Grimes, was posting their outfits on Instagram. Musk was curiously absent from Twitter all week—sparking rumors that he defied the rules and went to Burning Man after all.

I understand why. Once you go to Burning Man, regular museum exhibits are boring, conventional concerts are flat, mainstream fashion feels restrictive and bleak because it is dictating what we should wear— instead of encouraging participation in the act of personal style.

On ‘playa’ creators had to withstand rigorous practical realities that pushed the boundaries of our designs—70 mile per hour winds, extremes of heat. This harsh environment also had a way of bonding us, collectively, through an endurance test.

I found myself going into business meetings and saying things like: “Well, at Burning Man we manage cocreative projects collaboratively using video and Google Docs and we use co-leadership and Hollocracy”—and CEOs would look at me like: “Huh?” We were light years ahead of the mainstream business world in just about everything we were doing, from the vivid, electric art of our graphic designers (who were experimenting with richly layered Adobe Photoshop transparencies in “visionary” art) to the transparency of our communication.

We had shared experiences, like grieving and crying together in the Temple, or participating in workshops in advanced “conscious communication” technique. Hearts and egos were

blown wide open with plant medicine ceremonies fueled by DMT and Ayahuasca. People greeted strangers with hugs. Shared, cathartic and often ecstatic or painful experiences bonded us very closely together into large, global cohesive teams.

These transformative experiences made us significantly more capable of working together like a swarm of birds that seemed to sense each other’s needs in almost a psychic level of collective unity; we called it “playa synchronicity.”

These experiences were much more effective at creating flow and teamwork than the traditional boozy company parties or “team building” exercises and off site meetings.

Some of the most celebrated technology CEOs now openly admit they are regulars at Burning Man. This includes Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, and Larry Ellison of Oracle. Chip Conley, founder of Joie de Vivre hospitality and an adviser of AirBnB, frequently blogs about his Burns, as does John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods and the CEO of Clear Channel, Bob Pittman.

Government leaders are increasingly regulars. Debra Costa, CIO of the city of San Leandro, and her colleague Michael Caplan, the city of Berkeley’s economic development manager and a “Burner” since 1998, agreed with Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk when he said “Burning Man is Silicon Valley.”

In 2014, Musk criticized the HBO series “Silicon Valley” for not understanding the Burning Man ethos that permeates the tech industry from the top down as well as from the bottom up.

Burning Man, at its heart, is about risk taking and new ideas. It is now obvious to me that Burning Man, was, and remains, Silicon Valley’s greatest incubator.

Gisele “Gigi” Bisson is an early contributor to Metro, who later went on to work at a startup that had an IPO. She is working on a book, “Burning Management,” about the irresistible lure of Burning Man for CEOs and startup founders, how massive art projects are collaboratively built and managed and what we can learn from these experiences to make the world outside more sustainable and productive.

We’ve come to singe, parch, smolder, simmer, deep fry and burn to a crisp in one of the world's largest frying pans. We've driven east to find the West. A lonely and lawless frontier, so desolate and undesirable that you do whatever you damn well please. It's a physical cyberspace.

At dusk, in perhaps the largest Labor Day barbecue in America, he is saturated with kerosene and burned to a crisp.

After calling the Burning Man Hotline, I received a topographic map by mail. A rectangle in the corner, like the cancer scare on a cigarette pack, reads, “Warning: Black Rock Desert may be hazardous to your health. Vehicles may become mired in unconsolidated terrain. Should you stray from the path, remember: Help is NOT around the corner. People have died here.

I’m asked to volunteer as a reporter on the Black Rock Gazette, the daily newspaper laser-printed on site.

“This is disorienting,” I say to Sir Real. “It’s like the press reporting on the press.”

“This is a strange succession of mirrors,” he says.

The packet promises an intriguing series of events: A lecture by Billy Clewlow, an archaeologist who found the largest mammoth ever discovered in North America on the playa. A ceramics workshop where you craft figures from clay and fire them in the embers of Burning Man. A Sunday Ritual in which Kimric Smythe will employ a Fresnel lens to focus the first rays of the morning sun and ignite a fire which will be carried by torch bearers to the Burning Man. Kimric and his wife, Heidi, will strap pinwheels and explosives to their bodies and perform “Pyro Man.” A fashion show will feature costumes that make a statement about the desert. Charles Gadakin will construct a spring-powered human titled “Man in Awe of the Sun.” A pre-burn cocktail party— bring formal wear. A mask-making workshop. A Wild West poker game. Baking anthropomorphic

bread loaves. A doubles skeet golf tournament. Anyone willing to haul portable toilets to and from Reno will receive free registration.

Along the interstate, we see signs of urban emigration: compact cars piled with impossible quantities of bottled water, costumes, bicycles and lawn chairs. We pass a white VW Bug topped with what looks like a semicircular plywood sculpture of the zodiac.

My travel partner, partly for shock value, partly for reality check, announces our plans to strangers.

“We’re going to the Black Rock Desert to watch a group of people burn a 40-foot-tall wooden man. You heard of it?” he asks waitresses and gas attendants.

“Are they a bunch of Satanists?”

“Sounds like that horror movie, The Wicker Man.” “Is that some sort of religious festival?”

An hour out of Reno, we climb over the Sierra. The land dries up and flattens out, turns from green to gold to brown to beige. In Gerlach, last town in the middle of nowhere, a Wild West outpost of bars, slot machines and taxidermy shops, we stop for ice. Stuffed bighorn sheep, coyote, fox and mountain lion line the highway. A pallid girl in a black halter and cowskin patterned shorts and a guy in black bell bottoms with half a dozen rings in each ear and

A black van ahead of us skirts the horizon, disappears into a mirage of heat haze, hovers and then shrinks into a black sphere that floats above the sand.

Dust plumes streak across the hard-packed white alkaline dust lined with a fine lacework of cracks.

As far as the eye can see. Nothing.

Not even a tumbleweed. Then barren violet mountains in the distance. We floor the accelerator and streak across the desert, 50, 60, 70 miles per hour. The sense of freedom is intoxicating. Room to breathe! No laws! The car skims over the sand, and the sensation is closer to flight than I’ve ever felt in the air.

Suddenly, we see Black Rock Trauma Center, an egg-shaped aluminum trailer with bones, kerosene lamps and feathers dangling from the door.

A sign warns that broadcast media will be taping this event. “By entering you agree to forfeit all rights to your image for all perpetuity with

no compensation whatsoever.” A crew from PBS is filming a documentary.

A craggy hippie in a cowboy hat asks us for our $40 registration fee and directs us on the last part of our journey. He hands us the Gazette and an impressively designed schedule for “Black Rock Radio: The Voice of the Playa.”

“Stake everything down. We had 40 mph winds yesterday. And at night, watch out for the acid heads driving 90 miles an hour without headlights on, man,” he says.

The camp shimmers above a mirage of water in the distance.

Desert Navigational Locators, a series of eight sculptures made

by William Binzen out of rusting potato mashers and institutional egg beaters, form gateways marking a compass of four directions. This inner circle is surrounded by an outer circle of vans, land yachts, Airstream trailers, candy-colored nylon domes and Port-o-Lets.

A hollow, conch-shaped mud sculpture by Pepe Lauzan rises dramatically to the south, the Dog Head marks the west. And on an axis exactly 15 degrees north of due east, the Burning Man lies in state, with the emptiness stretching out behind him, the largest blank canvas in North America. Up close and personal, he’s a puny framework of plywood, glued and stapled together.

Like Cher or Madonna, the icon seems larger in photographs.

It’s soon apparent that the wellintentioned schedule in the brochure is part mirage as well. A vaguely African head made of chicken wire, scrap lumber and copper sheeting marks the center of town. The cafe turns out to be a Monkey Bean Espresso truck. A truck topped with antennas and loaded with hightech equipment forms the radio station, but when we tune into 89.9, nothing but irritating feedback hum materializes.

The community gathers around a message board near the satellite dish-topped Greyhound bus in the center. In the early days, the bedrock of support came from the Cacophony Society, a group of an anarchic performance artists and costumers.

The Black Rock playa stretches out to our right, off in the distance, spectacular plumes of dust rise 20 feet above the surface and streak east across the playa like jet exhaust.

overlapped the event into another group, YLEM (pronounced eye-lem), an organization of artists using science and technology that includes Dr. Clifford Pickover of the IBM Thomas Watson Research Laboratory and Roger Malina of the Center for Extreme Ultraviolet Astrophysics on its board of advisers.

Fliers are posted for other organizations that now converge here, each with its own interpretation of the desert. A nature group called Outdoors Unlimited, a group of conservationists known as the Desert Survivors, an activist BBS. A want ad bluntly advertises the desires of at least one of the ravers and Deadheads present: “I’m looking for some shrooms.

Anybody want to sell some?”

Enterprising entrepreneurs hawk Burning Man T-shirts and mugs.

A woman with cleavage bulging from a black spandex animal-print getup straight out of Married ... With Children sells tacos fried on a full-sized gas stove. Dozens of generators hum beneath the din of dozens of battery powered boom boxes.

Every third resident of Black Rock seems to be making a documentary.

I’ve been out of the car for less than half an hour when a man thrusts a mike into my face.

“I’m just looking for the definitive statement on what this all means,” he asks.

I’m too drained by the stifling heat to mumble something about a strange succession of mirrors. We are the Burning Man. Everything becomes performance art.

Like a movie, we suspend disbelief when we walk into the theater.

A tent called The Oasis sports an indoor recirculating water fountain decorated with plastic snakes. I tour the Christmas Tent, strewn with tinsel and garlands. The hostess invites me to visit later for eggnog, caroling and fruitcake.

When the sun sinks and a huge yellow moon rises, the playa cools and settles into a surrealistic neon Las Vegas carnival. Various sculptures are ignited and sacrificed. The dog head is rimmed with stage lights, the generators hum and it’s transformed into a stage alive with a halo of neon.

Dozens of people line up and, tug of-war style, raise the Man from his prone state. The generators nip on, and suddenly his hollow body is outlined in a dazzling skeleton of glowing blue neon. His head, a faceless, kite-shaped Japanese paper lantern, is aglow with blue. Standing on the low horizon, he takes on a prodigious proportion. With the aid of technology, a lone man in the wilderness is suddenly visible for miles.

At midnight, a rave begins a halfmile north of camp. The night turns to Burning Jam.

The Burning Man is the creation of Larry Harvey, who specifically disavows any spiritual meaning, yet speaks fervently about the Man. Eight years ago, Harvey was looking for a way to cheer himself up after a relationship broke up. On a whim, he decided to burn a wooden man on the beach, in the tradition of the summer solstice. He called his friend, carpenter Jerry James, and they knocked together an eight-foot-tall figure, gathered a dozen friends on the beach and burned it. The sight of the man, arms blazing against the night sky, was far more moving than they anticipated. Each year the Man grew larger, and by the fifth year the police arrived in time to stop the burning and nearly caused a riot.

They moved the Man away from the law, to the Black Rock Desert. “Life seems infinitely precious against that cosmically vast waste,” Harvey says.

The Burning Man finally broke even last year, and Harvey reputedly hopes to make a living off the festival. He talks of adding to the spectacle next year, including laser lights and a Tesla coil.

“We’re primal technology. The ritual is derived directly from technical requirements and the logic of engineering the Man,” Harvey says.

Last year, he was invited to exhibit a slide show of the Burning Man at Cyberarts in Los Angeles. “A lot of cyberpeople come here.” The growth is a point of contention among the old-timers, including Binzen, who feels the festival has grown dangerously large. Now the Bureau of Land Management is intervening, demanding $2 per head as rent.

In response, Binzen started Desert Siteworks, a more personal, invitation-only performance work that focuses on ritual and art. “As you get more deeply into ritual, you relate to the movements of the desert, working with desert navigation, creating alignments and time-based performances,” he says, talking of car lights creating patterns on the playa, processions of candles and Stonehenge-like arrangements of sculpture mapped to the heavens.

Invite 1,000 of America’s most helplessly urban people on a camping trip to America’s most forbidding wilderness, and this is what you get. Painfully sunburned smokers sweltering in black leather with no

words like “dehydration” or “sun stroke” in their vocabulary, staggering barefoot in the sun, swigging Sierra Nevada and cappuccino. Women dance topless and men wear skirts, oblivious to the threat of sunburn.

They transform Nevada desert into California beach. Just add water.

An Arabian sheikh wearing a cloak fashioned from designer sheets pedals aimlessly on a mountain bike. People circle listlessly in ATVs, dune buggies, tricycles, skateboards, rollerskates, scooters. A guy skims across the playa in a deranged landsailer: a fourwheeled plastic horse with a windsail.

We hear rumors of a hot springs, and with vague directions we head east past the Man, toward the imposing Black Rock on the horizon, speeding away from the anarchic urban madness and back into nowhere. Ten, maybe 20 miles away, across the railroad tracks, we sink into Trego Hot Springs, a warm creek surrounded with vibrant green grass.

We continue on to Bordello Springs, a pristine pool surrounded by a lone clump of trees and lush asparagus ferns.

Here, the lawless soak together. A guy from Boulder Creek with two pierced nipples tells me about the loaded shotgun he found a few yards away. “I’m thinking of burning it with the Man tonight. Or maybe I’ll keep it,” he says. A group of model rocketeers describe a 15-foot rocket that mislaunched this morning and shot back onto the playa. It’s now buried eight feet under, and they’re trying to figure out how to extract $2,000 worth of metal from the hard alkali. A couple of guys called Desert Rats swagger in, one carrying an automatic rifle. A guy from Oregon asks if he can fire it, and suddenly the desert quiet is punctured with Ramboesque gunfire.

Out across the playa the dust devils swirl and we sit it out in the shade, waiting for the wind to die. By the time we head out, angry clouds are gathering on the mountains that ring the playa. Thunder rumbles. Racing toward the camp, racing against the dwindling light, we’re suddenly adrift in a horizonless white ocean.

This was the place where the land speed record was set, some 800 mph.

The widest unpatrolled highway in North America. It’s nothing compared to the 3.5 million square miles of aridity that make up the Sahara, but the 1,000 square-mile

19 “You better watch out. You're gonna turn white,” a man standing by a truck covered with CB antennas says. A local, he owns a ranch and opal mine to the north. “There are probably police infiltrators in this crowd,” he says. “The FBI and DEA's probably here.” He tells tales of drug-laden airplanes landing in the dead of night, yuppies making cattle drives across the desert just like the one in the movie City Slickers, fights with the BLM over mineral rights.

“They'd just as soon git rid of all of us,” he says. “If this rain keeps up, the alkali crust breaks and you won’t even get out with four-wheel drive.

I’ve walked out of this desert before,” he says. “You better go.”

We follow an exodus out of the desert, through the blinding dust. I look in the mirror and I’m Beetlejuice, a ghost with white skin and hair. As we escape the whirling, anarchic madness, I still ask why.

Struggling to explain the question of the Man, I talked to my friend Diego, a student of things mystical.

“Somewhere, back in their common consciousness, they remember Lugh, the summer horned god, child of light,” Diego says. “He dies so we may live.” In pre-Christian cultures, a man woven of straw with loaves of bread inside was burned and the bread then fed to the village. The ancient druids also sacrificed humans, who were burned alive so the crop would be fruitful the next year. “The Burning Man also symbolizes the death of love,” he says. “In their act of love, he is consumed.”

Throughout history, old forms of religion are superseded by new, and the new forms use the most modern vehicles available to them to propagate. But if so, what was the crop we are promised when the Neon God burns? Software? Commemorative T-shirts? Press coverage?

Or perhaps just an escape. I just keep remembering what the rocket man said while I was soaking in the hot springs. “You know, a lot of different people are out here at Black Rock this weekend,” he said in a Nevada drawl. “You have the rocketeers. You have the Desert Survivors. You have the Desert Rats.

You have the Burning Man people.

And we have something in common.

We all like fire.”

Black Rock Desert ranks as one of top 30 deserts on earth. Explored by John Charles Fremont in the 1840s on his way to the Santa Clara Valley and crossed by the historic ApplegateLassen Trail, the route of the ’99ers, some sections are apparently littered at 50-foot intervals with the graves of infants who died when pioneer wagon trains were lost in the winter snows. The warning rattles my brain: “People have died here.”

For an hour we race around in circles, heading toward hazy encampments that appear and disappear on the horizon. Finally, a flare shoots up in the southwest and we race toward it, knowing the Man will burst into flames any minute now. Finally we see it, a blue haze, and the Man begins to grow. We screech to a halt behind the Man. The crowd has swelled and tripled, and white lights creep toward him from all directions as locals risk the night drive to witness the spectacle.

The crowd writhes to the steady drumbeat in evening gowns, tuxedos, feathered Mardi Gras costumes, masks, LED lights, candles and bare skin. Last year, Brewster Kahle, a WAIS, Inc. employee, exchanged wedding vows with his bride while the Man burned.

One by one, people volunteer to strip off their shirts, and a woman in a feathered headdress torches their bodies and pats down the flames.

A man and woman rise and shoot flaming arrows into the man's loins.

The drumming rises; the crowd whoops and hollers in an inebriated frenzy that belies every denial of this event’s pagan heritage. It’s every bit as tribal, pagan and hallucinatory as Mardi Gras, the Brazilian Carnaval or a Grateful Dead concert. Torchbearers touch the man with flares and WHOOOSH!—he’s up in flames.

Loaded with cheap fireworks and popping neon tubes, the Man starts to explode. He collapses on his back, and a flurry of sparks drift in the sky.

People begin jumping over the Man, and a woman slips and falls into the embers, her dress bursting into flames.

Lightning ripples like a Tesla coil cranked by a speed-crazed organ grinder, bright as daylight. The Man is upstaged by a circle of raw electricity. Rain pelts us, turning the white dust into tenacious clay, and a dust storm whips up.

That’s Amore From pasta to pepperoni, Silicon Valley has a rich Italian food scene

S A CHILD of the ’80s, eating Italian meant cracking open a can of Chef Boyardee, ordering a “pizza” or digging in to a plate of mom’s spaghetti and meatballs. Then came the foodie revolution, and all the world’s cuisines opened up to my palate.

COVERUP The company that owns the old Payless ShoeSource building in San Jose’s East Side painted over the city’s oldest surviving mural.

Desaparecido San Jose’s East Side mourns the loss of a beloved Chicano mural

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

I

T WAS ONE OF the oldest surviving murals in San Jose. Painted in 1985 by an artist named Jose Mesa V. and an ensemble of East Side youth, the intricate wall art depicted the history of Chicano people, from the Aztecs of old to the laborers led by Cesar Chavez. The detailed pictorial covered the side of Payless ShoeSource at Story and King roads, the epicenter of the low-rider movement and the civil rights marches that spawned the United Farmworkers Union.

“Mural de la Raza” is gone now.

Sometime before dawn on Aug. 22, a handyman slathered a thick coat of grayish-beige paint over every part of the panorama except for a small icon of the Virgin de Guadalupe. The next day, she disappeared, too, under the same drab veneer.

Jose Valle says he’s heartbroken by the loss.

The founder of Souleros Ball—a group that aims to preserve Chicano and indigenous culture— says the montage acquainted him as a kid with the faces of legends, revolutionaries, artists and activists that he would later read about in books: Pancho Villa, Emiliano

Zapata and San Jose-raised playwright Luis Valdez.

“A lot of Chicanos growing up in East Side got their first pair of shoes at Payless before they could afford brand names,” Valle says. “That’s probably how I first got to know the mural. It’s a pretty damn big wall, so you’re forced to take it in.”

When Payless closed its East Side shop in 2017 after filing for bankruptcy, Valle and several other concerned residents began reaching out to the property management firm, CBRE, and City Hall. But the company stonewalled them.

The office of Vice Mayor Magdalena Carrasco, whose council district encompasses the East Side, had no better luck. But activists say her office kept them out of the loop. Even if Carrasco’s staffers didn’t manage to reach the building’s owners, community members say they would’ve liked to know that some effort was made in the past several months.

Communication has improved now that the mural’s gone for good, they say. And while it’s too late for

metroactive ARTS

the Payless wall art, there may still be some recourse.

On Aug. 23, Carrasco’s team met with Valle and San Jose’s Director of Public Art Michael Ogilvie to talk about how to respond to the sudden loss of the Mural de la Raza.

Though there’s no saving the visual history and cultural way-finder, Valle learned that the community might have some recourse.

Under federal law, the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990, and state law, the California Art Preservation Act of 1979, muralists have some rights to the walls they painted.

The overlapping statutes prohibit the desecration, alteration or destruction of public art without giving the artist at least a threemonth notice.

Valle and the city officials he met with last week are unsure if the property owner did that—and until last week, were unsure if the artist was even alive. It turns out, he is.

Jose Mesa Velasquez, who’s 69 years old now, joined a crowd of about 100 supporters Sunday outside the former Payless building to mourn the loss of his landmark mural, which he painted with 50 kids and teenagers and $25,000 from his own pocket 33 years prior.

He told reporters that he’s angry it was painted over and that the building’s new owner should pay.

Frances Herbert, the vice mayor’s chief of staff, says the CBRE-managed property is in escrow, and until a few days ago, she wasn’t sure who was buying it. While the mural may have been on private property, there are certain protections that should have been upheld. “It’s really unfortunate that they tried to destroy something that’s been on that wall since 1985,” Herbert says. “It’s a huge loss.”

Valle says he feels protective of the Chicano murals in San Jose, many of which have disappeared—including one that adorned the side of Chaparral Supermarket by Roosevelt Park. Though not an artist himself, Valle maintains a mural painted outside Pop’s Mini Market by an old friend, Frank “Pancho” Torres, who helped Mesa V. complete Mural de la Raza decades prior.

To Valle, what happened to Jose Mesa V.’s work has been a wake-up call. “We need to stand up for our culture and our history,” he says. “We can’t just let our murals disappear.”

Founded in Story City, Iowa, by singer and guitarist Parker Griggs, Radio Moscow got their first big break after Black Keys guitarist and singer Dan Auerbach got a hold of the band’s demo and produced their self-titled debut LP. Channeling the heavy, bluesy, psych-rock sounds of legendary power trios like Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Blue Cheer, the three-piece, now based out of San Diego, have put out five full-lengths since that 2007 release. They are back in the states after their first Australian tour and come to San Jose behind their 2017 record, New Beginnings. (EG)

In an age when Kellyanne Conway, Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckabee Sanders have all held positions of authority, it’s comforting to know that at least hips don’t lie.

Shakira, she of throaty vocals and diminutive height, brings this eternal truth to the SAP Center in all its slinky glory. El Dorado, her 2017 album, may have been under-promoted in the mainstream, but it’s chock-full of classically Shakiran material like the dubby reggaeton of “Clandestino” and the club-ready “Chatanje,” songs sure to get the crowd going in San Jose. (MH)

With a voice that falls somewhere between Aaliyah and Rihanna, Tinashe is a pop superstar in the making. She may not be a household name in America yet, but in plenty of places around the globe the former child star is already a major success, placing high on the charts with her trappop hit “No Drama” (featuring Offset) and club-ready sizzler “Me So Bad”—both of which are on her May 2018 release, Joyride. And with dance moves as good as her voice, club-goers at Pure are in for a great performance by an artist about to break. (MH)

MOUNTAIN VIEW ART & WINE Sat, 10am, Free Castro Street, Mountain View One of the Peninsula’s largest summer street fairs, the 47th annual Mountain View Art & Wine Festival packs a whole lot into two days.

Peruse the work of local artisans and enjoy live music. This year’s line-up includes Club 90, Tortilla Soup, Livewire, Busta-Groove!, The Shanks, Cocktail Monkeys, Johnny Neri Unplugged, Emerson and the Growiser Band, Bob Culbertson, HeartStrings Music, John Clarke, Stephen Dreyfuss, and Ancient Winds.

Rather, they found a way to bring everybody along for a proggy ride on tracks like “Satellite,” where mathy guitar riffs, expert drumming and violin shredding merge into a masterfully catchy melange. The band’s latest LP, Come Tomorrow, debuted in June at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, giving DMB the title for most consecutive No. 1 albums. (EG)

Just because you’re old enough to appreciate the finer things in life— like tasty brew and quality bites— doesn’t mean you can’t spend a day at the arcade. In fact, at LvL Up you can get all this and more. Sip on an IPA, nosh on food by former Cafe Stritch and Eulipia chef David Ramsay and hop on one of LvL Up’s many retro video games, pinball machines or board games. Serious gamers may consider entering into this weekend’s tournament. Teams will compete against one another on the bar’s prized Killer Queen arcade game, a team-based sidescroller that recalls the original Mario Bros. game from 1983. (EG)

Game of Thrones devotees are familiar with the thrill of diving headlong onto the couch and being sucked into the fantastical realm of Westeros. Now, fans of the show have the chance to experience that same exhilaration in concert. GOT, Westworld and Jack Ryan composer Ramin Djawadi’s live show, the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience, returns to the the SAP center this weekend. There, Djawadi will lead his players in performing memorable tunes from all seven seasons of the show, along with choice scenes like “The Red Wedding” and “The Battle of the Bastards.” (EG)

Celebrations of fast casual food are in no short supply. Consider the Bacon & Beer Classic or the Taco Festival of Innovation and their ilk. For foodies with a bit more expendable income and a desire to sample a wider variety of eats, this gathering of gourmands might be the ticket. Featuring bites from 20 Bay Area restaurants and a selection of vino from 25 regional wineries, the Food & Wine Classic bills itself as “Silicon Valley’s premier culinary event.” Attendees can feel good about splurging on this one; a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Montalvo art and education programs.

VIVA FRIDA! Sun, 1pm, $7+ Mexican Heritage Plaza, San Jose Known for her bold self-portraits, her exploration of Mexican culture and, of course, her powerful brow, Frida Kahlo aimed to spark dialogue through her art. Her paintings often told stories of selfreflection, examined traditional gender roles and indicted societal standards of beauty. Honoring her legacy, this event invites the community to celebrate Frida’s work by taking in paintings by local Chicano artists and enjoying Mexican music and food. The event will feature a live Mariachi band, a Frida-themed photo booth and plenty of traditional Mexican antojitos like aguas frescas and churros. (EG)

NAKED TRUTH Rose Byrne and Ethan Hawke shine in the excellent romantic comedy ‘Juliet, Naked.’

Basement Tapes ‘Juliet, Naked’ is a generous and funny transatlantic romance

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

R

OSE BYRNE PROVES that having a bit of a sad face really becomes a comedienne. In Juliet, Naked she seems like one of the best comic actresses around. The title makes this prime comedy sound more erotic than it is—even an underwear scene is staged in such a way that Byrne isn’t exploited by the camera.

Knitting her eyebrows in exasperation, Byrne gives elements of ditziness, of slowness in reaction, that’s a credit to one of the best funny

women of her day, Diane Keaton.

Byrne is very pretty indeed, but she also projects the right kind of ordinariness for a romantic comedy heroine; she is a figure for the women in the audience to project themself into.

Annie manages a municipal museum in a British seaside town called Sandcliff (actually Ramsgate).

She’s doing her father’s job—the man “ran the local history museum until he couldn’t remember his name.” Annie is stuck in a dead-on-its feet relationship of 15 years, and even though she and her boyfriend Duncan (Chris O’Dowd) had decided not to have children, she’s changing her mind.

While Duncan has a job

pontificating about TV at the local university, his real vocation is running a website dedicated to ’90s alterna-rocker Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke). He obsessively parses the lyrics and the life of this vanished recluse, whose album Juliet was once rated at No. 43 on one of Rolling Stone’s wretched listicles.

It’s when an unreleased demo titled “Juliet, Naked” arrives in the post that the conflict starts. As dull as the subject of Tucker Crowe was to Annie before, this selection of outtakes lessens her interest. It’s such boring stuff that she trolls the comments on Duncan’s website. That’s when she receives a personal reply from Tucker himself, thanking her for disliking this bootleg as much as he did.

Hawke’s at home in this role, comfy and slouching, and the matter of whether his music is good or not is immaterial—it’s the emotions it rouses in his fans that matters. Tucker is the kind of aloha shirt-wearing bum Nick Nolte used to play, with a rasp in the voice, and a tire round his gut.

He’s a stay-at-home father who gets to live in his ex’s garage somewhere

in the American countryside. (Azhy Robertson is very charming as Jackson, the son Tucker is devoted to parenting.)

As Tucker and Annie become penpals, Duncan’s tryst with fellow teacher Gina ends their stagnant relationship. But there are still obstacles—the problem of a transatlantic courtship between Tucker and Annie, and the genuine mess of Tucker’s personal life. When Tucker ends up in the hospital, it’s a variation of the Marx Brothers’“Stateroom” scene, with his various children from various women crowding out the flummoxed Annie.

The “to breed or not to breed, that is the question” matter can kill a romantic comedy fast, because the question always gets answered in the affirmative. But there’s much more going on in Juliet, Naked than this.

Subjects that would seem like rom-com contrivance in lesser movies are sturdy and thoughtful here. It’s a well-filled romance, with elements of Tucker’s own mortality, as well as the texture of the small seaside town where they do things like knit pink cozies for the knobs on the cast iron fences.

Seemingly incompatible people are matched: Annie and Duncan are both museum keepers, only his is a private basement collection stacked with bootleg tapes and posters of seemingly every Tucker Crowe show ever done.

And the film has an air of nostalgia, looking back to British invasion music, with a fine cover of a 1960s classic by The Kinks performed by Tucker on a museum piece electric piano.

Juliet, Naked makes a tasty contrast between the romance and the absurdity of an official No. 1 fan.

O’Dowd is hilarious in this pedantic role, as the kind of irritator that tells fellow Crowe-heads: “That is a really interesting theory…that I’ve heard a thousand times before.”

Duncan gets the movie’s last words over the end titles, befitting source author Nick Hornsby’s honoring of the cantankerous rock fan, as per his High Fidelity. Jesse Peretz, himself a noted rocker in his day, directs from a four-credited script that changes Hornsby’s source novel in details but ends with genuine warmth and gentleness.

JULIET, NAKED Valleywide

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY time to feel and explore and understand and even appreciate your sadness. To get you in the mood, here's a list of sadnesses from novelist Jonathan Safran Foer: sadness of the could-have-been; sadness of being misunderstood; sadness of having too many options; sadness of being smart; sadness of awkward conversations; sadness of feeling the need to create beautiful things; sadness of going unnoticed; sadness of domesticated birds; sadness of arousal being an unordinary physical state; sadness of wanting sadness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do you have any feral

qualities lurking deep down inside you? Have you ever felt a mad yearning to communicate using howls and yips instead of words? When you're alone, do you sometimes dispense with your utensils and scoop the food off your plate with your fingers? Have you dreamed of running through a damp meadow under the full moon for the sheer ecstasy of it? Do you on occasion experience such strong erotic urges that you feel like you could weave your body and soul together with the color green or the sound of a rain-soaked river or the moon rising over the hills? I ask these questions, Taurus, because now is an excellent time to draw on the instinctual wisdom of your feral qualities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "Close some doors today," writes novelist Paulo Coelho. "Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere." I endorse his advice for your use, Gemini. In my astrological opinion, you'll be wise to practice the rough but fine art of saying no. It's time for you to make crisp decisions about where you belong and where you don't; about where your future fulfillment is likely to thrive and where it won't; about which relationships deserve your sage intimacy and which tend to push you in the direction of mediocrity.

CANCERIAN (June 21-July 22): To casual observers you may seem to be an amorphous hodgepodge, or a simmering mess of semi-interesting confusion, or an amiable dabbler headed in too many directions at once. But in my opinion, casual observers would be wrong in that assessment. What's closer to the symbolic truth about you is an image described by poet Carolyn Forché: grapes that are ripening in the fog. Here's another image that resonates with your current state: sea turtle eggs gestating beneath the sand on a misty ocean beach. One further metaphor for you: the bright yellow flowers of the evening primrose plant, which only bloom at night.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I want to make sure that the

groove you're in doesn't devolve into a rut. So I'll ask you unexpected questions to spur your imagination in unpredictable directions. Ready? 1. How would you describe the untapped riches in the shadowy part of your personality? 2. Is there a rare object you'd like to own because it would foster your feeling that the world has magic and miracles? 3. Imagine the perfect party you'd love to attend and how it might change your life for the better. 4. What bird most reminds you of yourself? 5. What's your most evocative and inspiring taboo daydream? 6. In your past, were there ever experiences that made you cry for joy in ways that felt almost orgasmic? How might you attract or induce a catharsis like that sometime soon?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): By volume, the Amazon

is the largest river in the world. But where does it originate? Scientists have squabbled about that issue for over 300 years. Everyone agrees the source is in southwestern Peru. But is it the Apurímac River? The Marañón? The Mantaro? There are good arguments in favor of each. Let's use this question as a poetic subtext as we wonder and meditate about the origin of your life force, Virgo. As is the case for the Amazon, your source has long been mysterious. But I suspect that's going to change during the next 14 months.

And the clarification process begins soon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When Warsan Shire

was a child, she immigrated to the UK with her Somalian parents. Now she's a renowned poet who writes vividly about refugees, immigrants and other marginalized people. To provide support and inspiration for the part of you that feels like an exile or fugitive or displaced person, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I offer you two quotes by Shire. 1. "I belong deeply to myself." 2.

"Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself—what you're wearing, who you're around, what you're doing. Re-create and repeat."

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Once in a while came a

moment when everything seemed to have something to say to you." So says a character in Alice Munro's short story "Jakarta." Now I'm using that message as the key theme of your horoscope. Why? Because you're at the peak of your ability to be reached, to be touched, to be communicated with. You're willing to be keenly receptive. You're strong enough to be deeply influenced. Is it because you're so firmly anchored in your understanding and acceptance of who you are?

Saturday, Sept. 15 – E.T. St. James Park

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1928, novelist

Virginia Woolf wrote a letter to her friend Saxon Sidney Turner. "I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading," she confided, "since one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs 10 others at the same time."

My usual inclination is to counsel you Sagittarians to focus on one or two important matters rather than on a multitude of semi-important matters.

But in accordance with current astrological omens, I'm departing from tradition to suggest you adopt Woolf's approach to books as your approach to everything. Your life in the coming weeks should be less like an acoustic ballad and more like a symphony for 35 instruments.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Not many goats can

climb trees, but there are daredevils in Morocco that do. They go in quest of the delicious olive-like berries that grow on argan trees. The branches on which they perch may be 30 feet off the ground. I'm naming them as your power creature for the coming weeks. I think you're ready to ascend higher in search of goodies. You have the soulful agility necessary to transcend your previous level of accomplishment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): From 49-45 BC, civil war

wracked the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar led forces representing the common people against armies fighting for the aristocracy's interests. In 45 BC, Caesar brought a contingent of soldiers to Roman territory in North Africa, intent on launching a campaign against the enemy. As the general disembarked from his ship, he accidentally slipped and fell. Thinking fast, he exclaimed, "Africa, I have tight told of you!" and clasped the ground, thus implying he had lowered himself on purpose in a ritual gesture of conquest. In this way, he converted an apparent bad omen into a positive one. And indeed, he won the ensuing battle, which was the turning point that led to ultimate victory and the war's end. That's good role modeling for you right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Below are sweet words I've borrowed from poets I love. I invite you to use them to communicate with anyone who is primed to become more lyrically intimate with you. The time is right for you to reach out! 1. "You look like a sea of gems." —Qahar Aasi. 2. "I love you with what in me is unfinished." —Robert Bly. 3.

HOWL For going on 35 years, Los Lobos have been honoring the complex and varied traditions of North American music.

Norte Americana Los Lobos bring their genre-spanning ouvre to the Mountain Winery

BY BILL KOPP

L

OS LOBOS IS an American treasure. Formed in East L.A. in the early 1970s, the band has always drawn from across the entire spectrum of American music.

While the group’s Latino roots invite easy comparison to groundbreaking acts like Thee Midniters, El Chicano, Malo and Santana, the group (whose name means “the wolves”) has always been about much more than one strain of music.

As applied to music, the term Americana is often used to describe a style that focuses on the roots and branches of American cultural traditions. And because the music of Los Lobos is authentically flavored with everything from early rock & roll to zydeco to conjunto to jazz to country, a better label (if one is needed at all) might be Norte Americana. The band’s major-label debut, 1984’s How Will the Wolf Survive? Brought Los Lobos to national attention; in 2003 the record was named among the top 500 albums of all time by Rolling Stone.

Though the lion’s share of the band’s material is original music (written mostly by band members David Hidalgo and Louie Pérez), Los Lobos sometimes applies its substantial talents to interpreting the work of others. The two most notable examples are a 1988 album of Tejano and Mariachi folk sung entirely in Spanish, La Pistola y El Corazón, and the group’s work on the soundtrack of the 1987 Richie Valens biopic La Bamba.

But it’s Los Lobos’ original songs that come in for the acclaim. Their 1992 record Kiko earned almost unanimous critical plaudits, but all of the group’s 20-plus releases have been well received. An engaging live act, Los Lobos recently made an archive of more than a halfdozen live albums from across the band’s history available via iTunes.

And while there hasn’t been a new studio album since 2015’s Gates of Gold, the band took part in an intriguing Record Store Day release

earlier this year—a cover of the Shins’ song “The Fear.”

Grammy-winning writer Chris Morris’ book about the group, Dream in Blue, was published in 2015, and earlier this year, Pérez published a book of his own, Good Morning, Aztlán: The Words, Pictures and Songs of Louie Pérez. After returning from dates in Scandinavia, the group’s Mountain Winery show kicks off a tour that will crisscross the U.S., keeping the band busy well into 2019. In late October the group sails from San Diego as part of the annual Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise, underscoring Los Lobos’ genre-spanning appeal.

Must Sees

THU SEP 6 • VIOLET NIGHT, UNPOPULAR OPINION, NEVERLYN @ X-BAR I love Canadians because they make great art. I’d love them even if they didn’t. Since so many very talented folks hail from north of the 49th parallel, I’m not surprised that Violet Night are from the middle of British Columbia. This duo is so very good at what they do. It would be great if a contingent of lovely South Baers went to support them, especially if their live sound is as good as their recorded sound. Supported by local pop punk purveyors Unpopular Opinion (Redwood City) and Neverlyn (Livermore). 7:30pm at X-Bar/Homestead Bowl, 20990 Homestead Rd, Cupertino

FRI SEP 7 • SOUTH FIRST STREET ARTWALK @ MACLA TO FRASCATI If you start at MACLA (510 S First St) at 5:30pm, you’ll experience art, poetry, youth, music and more—and that’s just the beginning. Across the street is Parque de los Pobladores, another great spot to check out live acts and food trucks. Keep heading north along South First Street and you won’t miss anything. I mean you will miss some things, but that’s because you won’t be missing other things. There is just so much to see. If you head back to MACLA at 8pm you can check out the world renown DJ Leydis. Or 17 other things along SoFA. Come on out before we run out of summer …

FRI SEP 7 • BIALA & KEISER QUARTET @ CAFE PINK HOUSE SJSU Jazz Studies alumna and jazz saxophonist Brittany Biala and ETSU bluegrass, oldtime, country music studies alumnus Jason Keiser team up to co-lead the Biala & Keiser Quartet for a special evening of live jazz. That feeling when you know folks go to school to get a degree in an instrument … I should have a Ph.D in Musical Fruit by now … 7:30pm at 14577 Big Basin Way, Saratoga

FRI SEP 7 • SAN JOSE SYNTHWAVE TAKE OVER @ BACK BAR SOFA I love synthwave. It’s what I listen to now when I need to get stuff done or when I need to feel like I’m Emilio Estevez being chased by a terminator in Marty McFly’s neighborhood. These sweet sounds make me want to jump into a ‘73 Chevy Malibu and tell Ryan Gosling to drive. Featuring the electro skills of Vector Hold, Voltaic Spore, Starfarer and Maniac_2084. I mean, it’s Friday … might as well stop by synth you were already going out … 9pm at 418 S Market St, San Jose = MUST SEE

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

11 35

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

It’s probably tempting to give him a taste of his own medicine: “Baby, I did not use the word ‘small’ in describing your penis. I called it ‘adorable.’”

The reality is, beyond men’s zipper zone, women are generally more sensitive to jabs about their looks. This makes sense if you look at sex differences in the qualities we evolved to prioritize in a mate. Of course, we all want a hottie if we can get one—just as we’d take the Malibu mansion with the stable, the tennis courts and the manservants over the basement apartment with all the charm, space, and light of a broom closet in a Dickensian orphanage.

But in mating, as in life, we tend to be on a budget. Evolutionary social psychologist Norman Li and his colleagues recognized that, and instead of asking research participants the open-ended sky’s-the-limit question, “So, what do you want in a mate?,” they gave them a limited “mating budget.”

This, in turn, forced participants to decide which traits and qualities were “necessities” and which were “luxuries.”

The Li team’s results echo a body of cross-cultural findings on mate preferences. Men in their study overwhelmingly deemed “physical attractiveness” a “necessity.” (Consider that

the female features men find beautiful correlate with health and fertility in a woman.) Meanwhile, the women they surveyed, under these “budgetary” constraints, overwhelmingly went for “status/resources” over male hottiehood.

This reflects women’s evolved motivation to go for men with an ability to invest in any children who might pop out after sex.

Because women coevolved with men, they are, at the very least, subconsciously attuned to men’s prioritizing physical appearance in female partners. This, in turn, leads a woman’s emotions to sound the alarm—in the form of fear and hurt feelings—when her male partner seems to find her less than lookalicious.

Explain these sex differences to your boyfriend so he can understand why you feel bad about his taunts in a way he probably doesn’t from, say, putdownfests with his dudebros. Encourage him to tactfully tell you if something in your look isn’t doing it for him, and explain how to go about that. In time—assuming he’s an accidental meanie—he should start showing a little restraint, merely blurting out “You look good enough to eat!” and not (har, har) going on to part two: “Because that spray tan makes you a dead ringer for a giant Cheeto.”

I’m a woman who’s very feminine and considered pretty. However, I have a deep voice—to the point where I’m sometimes mistaken for a man on the phone. I’ve learned to laugh about it, but it sometimes makes me feel bad, especially when I hear a bunch of other women talking. How do people feel about women with deep voices?—Feeling Low Okay, so you sound like you’ve been smoking unfiltered cigarettes since you were 3 years old.

In social situations, nobody’s mistaking you for Darth Vader in a dress. On the phone, however, they’re missing the visual information. There’s only the audio. In other words, those who think they’re hearing a man are not making some sneering judgment about your femininity; they are simply reacting based on averages—how, on average, women tend to have higher, chirpier voices.

On a positive note, according to research by social-personality psychologist Joey T. Cheng, women with deep voices

are, if not more likely to rule the world, more likely to be perceived as the dames to do it. In Cheng’s experiments, both women and men with low-pitched voices were viewed as more dominant and higher in social rank.

Try to remember that you’re a package as a person. Your voice is just part of the entire “very feminine” you. Maybe relabel your voice “sultry,” like Scarlett Johansson and Lauren Bacall. This might help you feel a little better when you have those dismaying “Excuse me, sir. Who’s calling, please?” experiences,as a deep-voiced friend of mine recently did. “Mom! It’s me. Your daughter!” she yelled into the phone.

My boyfriend has this irritating habit of making fun of my outfits or my spray tan. When I get upset, he says I’m being “sensitive.” I try to look cute for him, and I just don’t think it’s funny for your boyfriend to mock your appearance. Is this his issue or mine? If it’s his, how do I get him to stop?—Unhappy

WARNING. California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during the marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e. joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS. Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from 1. Removing the minor child or children of the parties, if any, from the state without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2.

Creating a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property

subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs.(Pub Dates 8/15, 8/22, 8/29, 9/05/2018)
