RE: SAN JOSE’S ‘HOPE VILLAGE’ CAMP FORCED TO RELOCATE, NEWS, SEPT. 19 I am so glad the Village is not being disbanded, and I hope the city can learn something from the people running it. While this is not a permanent solution, perhaps more of these sites can be developed to help these individuals and also keep our city clean. Thanks to Assemblymember Ash Kalra and others who made the community aware of the situation and asked us to place calls to support this village.

AURELIA SANCHEZ VIA SAN JOSE INSIDE

When my hubby offered to have you, his older brother, stay at our place for the summer, I tried to ignore the fact that you expected it without even bothering to ask. Like, you assumed we’d have to say yes because we’re family. Whatever. But when we told you how much utilities would cost, you replied with, “Ooh, that’s too much for me.

I’ll pay $50”—as though this was a negotiation! News flash: we’re not here to haggle with you. You’re getting half-off market rate and your own bathroom. But you were emboldened, I guess. Because just two days before rent was due, you announced—while rummaging through the fridge for a packet of hot dogs—that you “can’t make rent this month.” You didn’t even ask for more time or a discount—you started from ZERO. Yeah, sorry, kid. That’s now how it works.

RE: SAN JOSE’S ‘HOPE VILLAGE’ CAMP FORCED TO RELOCATE, NEWS, SEPT. 19

Good for them! I wondered who had come up with the land. I don’t recall hearing this particularly interesting detail on the radio. It’s sad that county government is thwarting innovative efforts to fighting or at least minimize the dangers of homelessness and the private sector has the compassion and common sense to make the effort to develop better practices.

Fake Friends GINO BORGIOLI, a Morgan Hill Unified School District trustee who’s running against Santa Clara County Board of Education (SCCBOE) incumbent CLAUDIA ROSSI, alarmed local Dems and progressives by proclaiming admiration for convicted criminal JOE ARPAIO, the ex-sheriff’s presidential pardoner DONALD TRUMP and their Fox News apologist TUCKER CARLSON. But people’s aversion to Borgioli goes beyond partisanship.

The trustee was labeled one of the Morgan Hill school board’s “bad guys” and a “disruptor” by retired Merc columnist SCOTT HERHOLD in part for his involvement in a weird email scandal that led to the resignation of a fellow trustee. And now even some South Bay conservatives are miffed at the way he’s conducting his campaign overall and his endorsements in They particular.

Sunnyvale Mayor

Did What?

GLENN HENDRICKS says he SEND TIPS TO had no idea that Borgioli FLY@ touted his endorsement METRONEWS. on his campaign website COM until someone asked him why the head of a leftleaning, immigrant-rich South Bay city would support a school candidate who supports the likes of Arpaio and Trump, opposes female reproductive rights and so on.

Hendricks, a loyal Republican, was appalled that someone would use his name without consent. “I’m not supporting this person,” Hendricks tells Fly. “When someone told me that he said I said, ‘What do you meant I’m endorsing him?’ I do not support Arpaio and I’m pro-choice.”

To Hendricks, though, this is about more than anyone’s political views. “It’s about the ethics of claiming something that’s not true,” he says. “To the best of my knowledge, I’ve never even met him, and I’m a little more careful about who I endorse.”

Fly reached out to others listed on Borgioli’s website—including SCCOE trustee GRACE MAH and East Side Union High School District trustee J. MANUEL HERRERA—to find out if their endorsements are legit. Herrera says he supports Borgioli and considers him a friend; Mah didn’t respond by press time.

TAKING FLIGHT Digital NEST founder Jacob Martinez (left) wants to diversify Silicon Valley by looking beyond Stanford and recruiting young adults from rural South County and beyond.

Talent Scout Inaugural NEST Flight conference promotes hiring diversity and local talent

BY ALISHA GREEN

I

F SILICON VALLEY wants to keep arguing that its lack of diversity is due to a talent pipeline problem, it’s going to have to answer to Jacob Martinez.

Martinez, founder and executive director of Watsonville-based nonprofit Digital NEST, is expanding on the vision of the NEST’s free tech training program for youth with the launch of a new conference this fall bringing top local talent together with companies looking to hire.

He’s gathering 300 high school seniors and college students from the region to attend workshops and panels.

The students will also meet with recruiters on Oct. 13 in Watsonville at the inaugural NEST Flight conference.

Martinez is looking to prove wrong any and all Silicon Valley tech executives who say they can’t find a diverse pool of talent to draw from. And he has a similar message for local companies saying they can’t find talented workers without looking to places like Stanford University or Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

“I look around here and see tons

of people with tons of talent, and they’re diverse,” he says.

To those companies that haven’t changed their recruiting practices, Martinez says, “I’m doing the work for you.”

He’s landed big corporate and techworld names on the list of conference sponsors, including Adobe, Comcast, Kaiser Permanente, Plantronics, SurveyMonkey and GitHub. Martinez wants to get the word out to other companies interested in recruiting now, as well as to high school students who might want to sign up. His goal is to stem the brain drain of young talent in South County.

“Ultimately, what we are trying to do is get the young people in our community the skills, network and connections to get the better-paying jobs in their community,” he says.

If they stay local and land good jobs, Martinez says, it will “spark economic development from within”

Upgraded Training Martinez has been focused on this mission for years. Before starting Digital NEST, he worked for nearly a decade on diversifying the tech workforce. When he paused in 2013 to reflect on his efforts, he realized that not enough had changed nationally or locally when it came to adding more women and people of color in tech—and, in some cases, the numbers were actually getting worse.

Martinez used to take students on field trips, via Watsonville TEC, to be face-to-face with the newest tech at companies like Google, Facebook and Apple. Then, he then had to bring them back to schools that too often had outdated machines.

“The tech industry was creating these environments to spark innovation and drive creativity, but the educational system was doing the complete opposite,” Martinez says.

In 2014, he raised more than $300,000 in four months to open Digital NEST in Watsonville. A second location opened in Salinas in April 2017. In total, the program has had more than 2,000 youth, from high school students to twentysomethings, sign up for its programs.

The 4,500-square-foot space in Watsonville is bathed in all the allure of a Silicon Valley tech office, with neon lights, music and some 120 machines loaded with software from Adobe and connected to Plantronics headsets, Logitech gear and more.

There’s also a range of free, organic, locally grown food and snacks in the kitchen. Upstairs, there’s a recording studio, cameras, music equipment and large-format printers.

“The biggest feedback we get is they vote with their feet,” Martinez says, counting at least 30 students at the NEST on a recent Friday afternoon. “Nobody has to be here.”

Taking Flight Marcus Cisneros, a graphic design student at San Jose State University, says being part of Digital NEST makes him feel like he’s ahead of his college peers, because he gets to put what

he’s learning into practice. As part of Digital NEST’s youth consultant group bizzNEST, he’s been able to put his video editing and graphic design skills to work for clients. BizzNEST clients have included UCSC, American Express and Martinelli’s.

These days, when Cisneros visits tech companies or conferences, it feels like a bigger version of what he’s already experienced through Digital NEST. “At its core, the energy and atmosphere is the same,” he says.

The experience is not only technical, says Cisneros, but also collaborative, playful, nurturing, exciting and inspirational.

When he goes to NEST Flight in October, he’s most interested in talking with recruiters to learn what they’re looking for and what he needs to improve on, he says.

Companies like Watsonvillebased California Giant Berry Farms are eager to meet with local tech talent like Cisneros. As soon as the berry company’s managers heard about Martinez’s idea for the conference, they were on board with the goal of keeping tech talent in the community, says Cindy Jewell, the company’s vice president of marketing. The world of agriculture is becoming more tech-focused, after all, and it needs to draw on the next generation for those skills.

“We don’t want them going to Silicon Valley, either,” Jewell says. But to many youth, “the money and the prestige is all up in the Bay Area. That is where kids want to go.”

Masha Chernyak, vice president of programs and policy at the San Francisco-based Latino Community Foundation, which is a lead sponsor of NEST Flight, sees the conference as a win-win for employers and local talent.

Since Latino youth make up the majority of California’s young people, Chernyak says, their future is the future of the state, and they’re full of brilliant ideas.

“We have never tapped into their true potential,” Chernyak says. “And once we do, we are all going to benefit from it.”

An inside look at San Jose politics

Congressional Hopeful Waxes Conspiratorial on Twitter

SPENT County Executive Jeff Smith blasted Sheriff Laurie Smith for exceeding her overtime budget,

which she justified as necessary to implement sweeping jail reforms.

County Supervisors Want Closer Look at Jail Overtime Spending BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office has far exceeded its overtime budget in the past six years, according to an audit that came up for discussion at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. In this fiscal year alone, the agency helmed by Sheriff Laurie Smith spent $150 million on overtime, about 2½ times more than the $60 million initially allocated, primarily on jail staff.

The discrepancy comes under scrutiny as Smith faces a heated re-election battle against her former second-in-command, retired undersheriff John Hirokawa, who cited the county’s analysis as evidence of the sheriff’s mismanagement.

Supervisor Joe Simitian introduced a proposal calling for a deeper analysis of the past five fiscal years to find out why overtime spending has “consistently and increasingly” surpassed budgeted allocations, seeing a shortfall of $13.2 million in the current fiscal year and

$11.9 million in 2017. Of the 72 sheriff’s employees who made more than $75,000 in overtime this past year, 60 worked in jails and custody health.

County Executive Jeff Smith agreed, telling the Merc Sunday that any non-elected official exceeding budgeted overtime by that much would “risk losing their job.”

Lt. Amy Le, however, called the reaction from Simitian, Smith and Hirokawa disingenuous.

Overtime spending has been soaring at law enforcement agencies throughout the state. In this county, the overtime budget was approved months ago to cover additional training and work required by reforms implemented in the wake of the 2015 murder of inmate Michael Tyree by three correctional deputies.

Smith echoed Le’s defense.

“As sheriff, I have instituted my strong jail reform plan with a

significant dedication of resources to mental health and [American Disabilities Act] improvements,” she said in an emailed statement. “This reform plan has had the full support of county administration and the Board of Supervisors. To implement my plan, we made the decision, in coordination with county administration, to begin reforms utilizing overtime until our plan is approved, analyzed and fully implemented.”

Sheriff Smith also criticized the county’s analysis for leaving out some important factors.

“The report failed to take into consideration the deliberate decisions and direction the county instituted years ago,” she said. “Neither the Sheriff’s Office nor County Executive’s Office were consulted on this report. Any conclusions from this report would be a gross misrepresentation of the county’s budget plan for the Sheriff’s Office.”

For someone whose Twitter bio claims he rarely tweets because the platform is “too manipulated,” Ron Cohen has been quite prolific lately.

The Republican, who’s challenging Rep. Ro Khanna’s re-election in the 17th Congressional District, took to Twitter to rail against immigrants, cast doubt on the rape allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanagh and promote a conspiracy theory about Michelle Obama Ron Cohen being born a man.

Cohen, a 59-year-old CPA, began an extensive thread about the former First Lady when someone responded to a since-deleted tweet about the rumor.

“She really annoys me,” Cohen tweeted on Friday. “It is fine with me that she is transgender. I just wish she’d be honest and proud about it. Look at her hands.

Look at her frame. Her face gets more feminine as time passes.”

The D-17 contender went on to suggest that Barack Obama is secretly gay and that Sasha and Malia had surrogate parents because of Michelle’s inability to conceive as a biological male—the same wackadoodle plots hawked by Twitter outcast Alex Jones.

Cohen shared his take on Kavanagh’s accuser, too. In one tweet, Cohen suggests that Palo Alto professor Christine Blasey Ford’s case is “weak.”

Cohen’s latest string of incendiary tweets is pretty standard fare for the selfdescribed “fiscal and social conservative” who believes “immigration without assimilation is invasion” and that “anchor babies are illegal aliens— period.” Though he’s running to represent one of the most diverse regions in the U.S., Cohen still managed to secure 22 percent of the vote in the primary.—Jennifer Wadsworth

SILICON SILICONALLEYS ALLEYS

DRUMMING UP SUPPORT Krazy George has been riling up local sports fans for 40 years.

Home Advantage Krazy George earns a spot in the SJSU Sports Hall of Fame

BY GARY SINGH

O

N PAGES 94 TO 97 of Krazy George’s book, Still Krazy After All These Cheers, old grainy photos accompany a March 1974 story he tells about a hockey game between the Boston Bruins and the hometown Oakland Seals. Not even 30 years old at the time, George bashed on his trademark snare drum and verbally insulted the visiting Bruins players during the game.

He wasn’t getting paid for his talents

that night, so he was not yet “pro,” as they say, but George’s actions riled up a few drunk Boston fans in the crowd, triggering a brawl, and also coerced Bruins legend Terry O’Reilly to climb the glass and swing his stick at Krazy George. O’Reilly’s teammates, including Phil Esposito, soon followed him up the glass, but did not ultimately enter the audience. They knew better.

“This was the only time a player actually attempted to come into the stands after me, and my career hadn’t even officially begun yet,” George wrote.

By now, without exaggeration, tens of millions of people have experienced the antics of Krazy George since he started his cheerleading exploits at San Jose State football games in the late ’60s.

When the original incarnation of the San Jose Earthquakes began in 1974, George was there from the very first game and became an integral component of the fan experience. To date, the list of teams that hired him takes up several pages. George has bashed his drum at every event from World Cup soccer matches to Odessa Jackalopes minor league hockey games. Today, at age 74, he still shows up at Spartan Football matches and San Jose Earthquakes games.

Since George began his insane journey right here in San Jose, where he also taught electronics at Buchser High School, he will be inducted into the SJSU Sports Hall of Fame this Friday night, joining the ranks of Tommie Smith and John Carlos, NFL coaches Bill Walsh and Dick Vermeil,

quarterbacks Steve DeBerg and Jeff Garcia, plus Peter Ueberroth, Ken Caminiti and zillions more. For the ceremony, each 2018 inductee is listed along with the years in which he or she participated in SJSU athletics. For example, golfer Lisa Walton (1991-94) helped the Spartans clinch their third NCAA Women’s Golf Championship in five years, and Green Bay Packers wide receiver and Super Bowl XLV winner James Jones played football at SJSU from 2003 to ‘06. In George’s case, the notes say: “Krazy George, cheerleader (1968 to the present).”

That is a staggering statistic.

Just about every other month on Facebook you’ll find some distant old-timer asking if Krazy George is still alive. We in the know are quite aware that George never really left. Everyone has a story about him, especially when he was a young dude at San Jose State football games half a century ago.

“Back then they used to pass him down over the crowd on a plywood board,” said Dave Obenour, who later became the trainer for the San Jose Earthquakes starting in 1974. “The fraternity guys would bring him down, and then he would bang his drum and cheer.”

Throughout the original Earthquakes era, Obenour and George became good friends with many of the players, and later in the ’80s, George owned a sports bar in Aptos called “Krazy’s.” Everyone would stop by to keep in touch and talk about old times.

This columnist grew up in Section G at Spartan Stadium, watching Krazy George rile up the crowd at San Jose Earthquakes games.

He regularly staged grand-scale appearances right before kickoff. He’d land in a helicopter or enter the field in the back of a hearse. He’d arrive in a police car or while riding a camel.

Fans waited in anticipation because they never knew what to expect. It was different every time.

“People really think George is crazy,” Obenour said. “But down to earth, that guy is probably the most easy-going person. I’d say he’s actually a little bit shy, but you give him that drum and that beater thing, [and] he just goes nuts. He’s 360 from being crazy. He’s a very literate guy and he was a great teacher. His niche in life was to get people going, excite them, cheer and root for a team. And he did that tremendously.”

ACCOMPLISHED OUTLAW Clockwise from top left, Jose Antonio Vargas has been an outspoken advocate for undocumented Americans; while working for ‘The Washington Post,’ he was part of a Pulitzer Prizewinning team covering the Virginia Tech shooting; he narrowly avoided deportation after being detained

by U.S. Border Patrol in 2014; and has not seen his mother since she sent him to live with his grandparents in Mountain View when he was 12.

A

T THE AGE of 16, Jose Antonio Vargas rode his bike to the Mountain View DMV across the street from Target and tried to apply for a driver’s permit. He did not know the green card supplied by his relatives was fake until the attendant told him.

Just over a decade later, still undocumented, yet now a journalist, Vargas was part of a Pulitzer Prize-winning team of reporters at the Washington Post.

Vargas, who went to Crittenden Middle School and Mountain View High after arriving from the Philippines via Los Angeles, ignited a firestorm in 2011 by revealing his story in a New York Times Magazine article, essentially making him the country’s most famous undocumented immigrant. He later made a film about his predicament and also founded Define American, a non-profit media project aimed at shifting the conversation about immigration and identity away from shout politics and toward the immigrants’ own stories.

To this day, he relentlessly appears at speaking engagements, film festivals, panel sessions and other functions, all

in support of immigrants’ rights. At this very moment, the city of Mountain View is building an elementary school named after him.

Now Vargas’ life story, including everything before, during and after the aforementioned highlights, appears in his new book, Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen. Vargas structures the book in three sections: Lying, Passing and Hiding. He says this trifecta shapes the experience of all immigrants living illegally in a country that doesn’t consider them American.

We learn about his childhood in the Philippines, his coming of age and finding his voice as a writer in Mountain View, plus his life above

and below ground as he continues to help elevate the stories of immigrants across the country.

In the book, Vargas elaborates how his own life of lying, passing and hiding has led to both heartfelt sympathy and outrage from both sides of the immigration debate, which is why nobody knows what to do with him.

Those on the right keep shouting that Vargas should “go back home,” when the US is the only “home” he’s ever really known, or that he should “get in line” and “get legal” in the manner everyone else supposedly did. The reality—unbeknownst to most—is that there isn’t any “line” for anyone to join, or any logical process for someone

who’s lived here 25 years. This is the entire problem. It’s not like the DMV. His predicament isn’t something that can be “fixed” like a broken tail light.

Similarly, on the left, people who’ve been fighting for justice and immigration reform for years feel slighted because Vargas is always in the spotlight, taking up way too much space. His arrival to the cause is way too late and his story is far too complicated. He grew up in a privileged city aided by suburban school administrators; therefore, those in the trenches, like the working poor and the undocumented day laborers, don’t feel Vargas represents them at all. Pulitzer Prize or not, some

progressives don’t want him on board because, well, he committed fraud to get all his high-profile jobs, and they can’t support that. In one hurtful exchange, a day laborer tells Vargas, “You’re not even Mexican” and then walks away, obviously buying into the phony master narrative of who undocumented immigrants are and what they’re supposed to be doing.

Yet in the end, Dear America shows that immigration is far beyond left or right, “legal” or “illegal,” us or them. In fact, the book isn’t even about politics. More than anything, Dear America is about homelessness, belonging and what it means to start over, showing how those

predicaments are inseparable from any exploration of what it means to become an American. Immigration is just as much an internal condition as it is an external one. Through his own story and those of others, Vargas tries to shine a light on truths beyond skin color, ethnicity or birthplace, all in a universal longing for home. *

You came out as undocumented seven years ago. You’ve already made a film. Why was now a good time to write a book?

From the very beginning, when I had come out as undocumented,

people were asking me about this book, I should be writing a book.

And I kept pushing it away. I waited about six years to work on it because I didn’t really know what I wanted to write about, to be perfectly honest. I’d already made Documented, so I didn’t want to repeat myself.

Trump’s election, of course, prompted the writing of this book.

Then, what I kept thinking about was all of these undocumented people that I have met across the country. I’ve been to pretty much 48 states, and have done maybe more than 1,000 events in the past seven years, and I’ve

IT TAKES A VILLAGE Jose Antonio Vargas stands with members of his actual and adoptive family, who over the years have worked to help him stay in the country and on the right track. met so many undocumented people. I kept asking myself, ‘How could I write this book in a way that would honor all these other stories that I’d been hearing from everybody else?’ When the editor and I came up with the structure of “lying, passing and hiding,” it gave me the spine to write about my experience in a way that could speak to other people’s experiences.

Yet the book is not really about Trump. How did you resist the urge to write an anti-Trump tirade?

This is bigger than Trump. The mess that we are living through is bigger than Trump. Trump is the manifestation of all the lies and all the misconceptions we’ve ever had about this issue. It’s not an accident that immigration has always been Trump’s central issue. That was brilliant on his part, because no one knows what the hell it is. There are many things in the book. People that have read the book, they’re like, “Oh, I didn’t know that.”

Yes, you hear about immigration, you read about immigration all the time, yet people only understand the “what” and the “how.” People don’t even investigate the “why.”

Speaking of lies, people screaming on both sides of the issue often have no idea how the immigration bureaucracy works, don’t understand who is or isn’t coming into the country legally or illegally, how we arrived at this disaster, or what can be done to fix the process.

Is reform even possible?

This whole mess has been bipartisan.

There can be no reform until there’s clarity about where we are and how we got to where we are.

I would hope that this Trump era, that this whole era, is exposing us to greater truths about what this issue really is about. To me, one of the most dangerous things that has been happening is that the Trump administration has done a very effective job of blurring the lines between legal and illegal. It used to be, “Oh, did you do it the legal way?”—or so they would say. Now, it doesn’t matter if you did it legally or illegally. The message is, “We don’t want you here.”

How was writing the book different than your other projects?

I actually allowed myself to get quiet. I’m not a quiet person. I like to surround myself by noise. I like juggling five things at once. Back when I got arrested in Texas and I was detained for those hours, there was nothing to do but look at the boys in the cell. There was nothing for me to do. I’d been running toward something, and now I wasn’t anymore. I realized that except for being detained for eight hours, writing this book was the quietest thing I had ever done.

I wrote the book in Airbnbs. All across the country. There was one in Berkeley. In fact it was a really cheap Airbnb on the top of the hill, in which the only thing that I could go to was the Philz Coffee at the bottom of the hill. I did that. So

U.S. PREMIERE

Between the lines of the book, a consistent thread that keeps circling back is the people in Mountain View who helped you pass in the early days, as well as others across the country that made phone calls on your behalf when you were detained in 2014.

Was that thread intentional?

I wanted that to be kind of a thread throughout the book, that in every phase of the book there were all those people that were part of the lying and the passing and the hiding.

Absolutely. It was intentional for me to integrate all of these people that I’ve had in my life, who have helped

me out, throughout the book. But, I actually never called them “allies.” I think that’s limiting. Especially at a time like this, the language around “allies.” I find the concept not only limiting but I find it too simple, because all those people were not just allies. They would never call themselves allies. Calling somebody an ally, it doesn’t feel like there’s much at stake. These people, they’re like a part of my family.

I’m very proud to come from the Bay Area. I’m very proud to have been raised between 101 and 237. All of those teachers and mentors and strangers meant a lot to me. Most of those people are from that area.

[So I told it] like, “Here’s what they did, and this is why they did it.” The stories for me that we haven’t told enough of are the stories of those people. Like the stories of all these people who have been lying, who have been trying to help us pass, who have been hiding us. In many ways, I think they’re the ones that need to come out.

there was no escaping. All I had to do was think, “OK, where else are you going to go, you’re up on the hill in Berkeley, you should try to finish this freaking book.” I kind of forced myself to be in physical spaces where I just couldn’t leave, meaning I had to really deal with this book, which meant for me, dealing with myself.

It was the best therapy I could have ever gotten for myself.

Memories From Mountain View

By Jose Antonio Vargas

T

HE MOMENT I realized that writing for newspapers meant having a “byline”—“by Jose Antonio Vargas,” my name in print, on a piece of paper, visible and tangible—I was hooked. There are no writers in my family—not on my mother’s side, not on my father’s side.

In the Philippines, we’re a family of farmers, nurses, cooks, accountants, construction workers, U.S. Navy veterans. I got into journalism because of a high school teacher.

“You ask too many annoying questions,” Mrs. Dewar told me.

A self-described hippie with a smoky voice, Mrs. Dewar taught English composition to high school sophomores like me. Mrs. Dewar was also the longtime adviser to the Oracle, the [Mountain View High School] student newspaper. A fortysomething educator who’d had early aspirations of being a journalist, she

informed me of a free, two-week journalism camp for “minority” journalists at San Francisco State University, her alma mater. When I asked her what a journalist does, she quipped, “It’s for annoying people like you who love to ask questions.”

First, it was a sign of rebellion and independence from my family, a way of rejecting Lolo’s strategy of working under-the-table jobs until I marry a woman and get my papers.

Second, and more importantly, writing was a form of existing, existing through the people I interviewed and the words I wrote as I struggled with where my physical being was supposed to be. Writing was also a way of belonging, a way of contributing to society while doing a public-service-oriented job that’s the antithesis of the stereotype

that “illegals” are here to take, take, take. I didn’t realize it then, but the more stories I reported on, the more people I interviewed, the more I realized that writing was the freest thing I could do, unencumbered by borders and legal documents and largely dependent on my skills and talent. Reporting, interviewing, and writing felt like the safest, surest place in my everyday reality. If I was not considered an American because I didn’t have the right papers, then practicing journalism—writing in English, interviewing Americans, making sense of the people and places around me—was my way of writing myself into America. In the beginning, writing was only a way of passing as an American. I never expected it to be an identity. Above all else, I write to exist, to make myself visible.

Instantly, journalism became not just a passion but the driving force in my life. Everything, and everyone, took a backseat to my work. Getting good grades at school took a backseat to my being a reporter. If it didn’t have anything to do with furthering my career in journalism, I didn’t do it. The myopia energized me, giving me the chutzpah … to advocate for myself. After returning from the “minority” summer camp of mostly Latino and black high school students, I cold-called the Mountain View Voice, my local weekly community newspaper, and talked my way into an unpaid internship. I was desperate to get this internship.

For a few weeks, all the job entailed was answering the phones and buying coffee for the top editor, an overworked man named Rufus Jeffris.

But when a fire erupted three blocks from where I lived and there were no other reporters to cover it, the editor sent me. My first-ever front-page story was about a fire on Farley Street, where I grew up.

“Blackened scraps of clothing carefully piled on a corner of the front lawn were the only items that Mitch and Linda Radisich were able to salvage from their home at 1151 Farley Street after a fire gutted the residence on June 16,” read the “lede” (the opening sentence) of the news story, which took up a third of the entire front page. I was proud of that

19 lede, especially of the verbs “salvage” and “gutted.” News writing, especially breaking news writing, I learned early on, depended on verbs. It was all about action.

“Anong ginagawa mo?” (“What are you doing?”) Lolo exclaimed when he saw my byline on the front page of the Voice. “Bakit nasa diyaryo ang pangalan mo?” (“Why is your name in the newspaper?”)

The angrier Lolo became, the more independent I felt. I didn’t need his approval. Even if I did, he couldn’t give it. Lolo had to ask me what “blackened” meant.

“Masyado ka nang nagiging sosyal,” Lolo said. “You’re getting fancy now.”

Fancy or not, I made a concerted effort to stay as busy as possible.

The busier my schedule was, the more activities I committed to, the less time I had to spend at home.

Being at home reminded me of my limitations. Being at school opened up possibilities. In addition to writing for both the Voice and Oracle, I sang in choir, competed in speech and debate tournaments, acted and directed in plays and musicals, and was elected by the student government to represent their interests to the school board. I was so omnipresent at school that teachers, administrators, and parents of my classmates took notice. I neglected to tell Lolo and Lola about parentteacher nights and open houses at school. I went alone and represented myself. It was easier that way.

“Don’t you ever go home?” Pat Hyland, the school principal, asked me one night after speech and debate practice. Because I was probably the busiest student at school who did not drive, classmates and school staff gave me rides, including Pat. Short-haired and quick-witted, Pat was the earliest member of a big-hearted community of strangers who, over time, would occupy essential roles in my life.

Whenever she drove me home, we stopped and got some lattes at Starbucks on El Camino Real.

El Camino Real is the artery that runs through the Peninsula, south of San Francisco, dividing communities by race and class and separating adequate schools from great ones. Residents on its east side were generally on the lower end of

21 wife, Sheri, and their granddaughter, Alexis, attended a performance of Lend Me a Tenor, in which I played a bellhop, they took an interest in me.

Rich’s longtime assistant, Mary Moore, scheduled biweekly lunches where we could catch up. The lunches led to dinners, and I got to know both Rich and Mary, whose relationship was less like boss and secretary than brother and sister. They were like a family unit, and they treated me like family. Over the years, Mary has written me more greeting cards—birthday cards, holiday cards, hope-you-feel-better cards–than anyone else I’ve ever met. Mary introduced me to her daughter, Daisy, and her son, C.J., both of whom are around my age. Because I was forced to grow up quickly, I befriended many adults, including Judy Hannemann and Susan Sweeley, who served on the school board.

“There is always one moment in childhood,” Graham Greene once wrote, “when the door opens and lets the future in.” As the years passed, Pat, Rich, Sheri, Alexis, Mary, Daisy, C.J., Susan, and Judy, among others, are the people who would find windows and try to open them when doors were shut. They did it because they could afford to; more importantly, they did it because they wanted to.

the economic ring, mostly service workers and laborers. Folks on the west side, particularly the western parts of Mountain View and its neighboring towns, Los Altos and Los Altos Hills, were considerably more affluent, white collar professionals and technology entrepreneurs who cashed in early and felt comfortable buying their kids convertible BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes.

The parents of well-to-do students were generous to many students from working class families like mine, paying for field trips, no questions asked. To this day, I don’t know just how much Sandie and Art Whipple, whose daughter, Ashley, I sang and acted with, spent to ensure that I got to go on this and that trip. Fees for speech competitions would be covered, with no trace of who paid for what. Karen Keefer, my speech and debate coach, usually covered what I couldn’t pay for.

For the most part, you couldn’t find anyone to thank because they didn’t need or want thanking. If it sounds too benevolent to believe, just too good to be true, perhaps it was. Nevertheless, I was a product of this community.

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened to me if I had not attended a relatively wealthy school in a community of privilege.Shortly after we met, Pat introduced me to Rich Fischer, her boss, the school district’s superintendent. Though he was the highest-ranking official at the school, he wore his authority lightly. He was friendly and accessible, regularly roaming the school grounds interacting with both students and teachers.

“Don’t call me Mr. Fischer,” he said during our first meeting. “It’s Rich.” I was more comfortable with teachers and administrators than I was with my classmates. Part of it was because I was forced to grow up fast and had adult-size ambitions that seemed bigger than getting good grades and getting into a good college. I had to take care of myself. Another part of it was because whenever I was with adults outside my family, I was the center of their attention.

They engaged me in ways that my grandparents did not and could not.

I was elected as the student representative on the school board, which meant I ended up spending more time wit Rich. After he and his

BEAUTIFUL BOWL The khao soi is definitely a standout dish at Khaosan Thai.

Thai’me Out Khaosan outshines myriad local thai options with its authenticity

BY JOHN DYKE

E

VER WONDER WHY Thai people—who are only about .04 percent of the U.S. population—have such a disproportionately high number of restaurants? When compared to another minority Asian group such as Filipinos, who are nearly 20 times (.66 percent) the population, the numbers are mystifying.

Performing a cursory search of the interwebs in the South Bay, I found well over 50 Thai restaurants and only about 20 Filipino, with a large portion of the latter being bakeries. And yes, I did include Jollibee into that mix to keep my Pinoy buddies happy. The answer to this conundrum is that it’s a not-

so-secret Thai government plot to try and drum up tourism through a tactic known as “gastrodiplomacy.”

Evidently, the government has been training chefs at a government funded culinary academy for the better part of two decades, and in 2001 set up a corporation with the goal of opening over 3,000 chain restaurants worldwide in the hopes of becoming the “McDonald’s of Thai food.”

Seriously. Google it.

This might explain why it seems like most Thai menus are carbon copies of each other, and the cuisine is dumbed down for the Western palate.

This is where Khaosan Thai, Anukul Phanoong and chef Nestor Felix’s new endeavor, comes into the picture; they are looking to deliver a more authentic Thai culinary experience with dishes

that aren’t found on many, if any, other restaurants’ menus.

“I am just trying to deliver an aspect of Thai food that is being put aside by the other Thai restaurants,” Phanoong says. “The idea is to expose our customers to how people actually eat in Thailand and make them understand that Thai food is more than only pad Thai and chicken satay.”

That’s not to say Khaosan’s menu doesn’t have all the aforementioned favorites, but it’s their street food section and specialty northern Thai dishes that really separate them from the herd.

Khaosan is located in a dreary little strip mall that’s almost equidistant from downtown Campbell and downtown Los Gatos. While the exterior needs some love, the interior is welcoming and beautiful in its simplicity. Asterix-shaped chandeliers hang from the ceilings along with thoughtfully placed simple adornments, while a blood red accent wall touts “the pleasure of eating.”

The menu is short, sweet and clearly explains what’s in each dish. I wanted to stick to the more unusual fare and ordered up look chin phing ($16) and the crispy pork belly ($16) from the street food section, and the khao soi

chicken ($14) and the hang lay curry ($16) from the northern Thai category.

After placing an order, patrons are encouraged to look through the large kitchen window and watch their orders being prepared. This is an important element for the restaurateurs to help bolster that authentic experience, according to Phanoong.

“I always keep in mind my own experience back in my hometown of going out to eat with my family and watching how our food was cooked right in front of us,” he explains.

“Having a window in the restaurant to show our customers what we are cooking for them is just a common set up in Thailand that gives you a sense of home.”

First out were the street foods.

The look chin phing are grilled pork meatballs that had a mild flavor but a bit of an unappealing rubbery texture.

The pork belly was crispy and panfried perfectly. The concomitant sweet chili and cilantro dipping sauces were delightful, but the slight edge went to the latter with its clean, citrusy flavor.

Next out was the hang lay curry, a slow-cooked pork shoulder that’s braised in a gingery, garlicky curry sauce. The meat was fork-tender with a harmonious balance of herbs, spices and heat.

Finally, the khao soi was up, and this was the real star of the show, as it featured thick egg noodles in a rich coconut milk-based peanut curry. While peanut curries are hardly revolutionary, this rendition was about as perfect as it gets. No cloying sweetness from too much coconut milk and just the right hint of peanut flavor made this one of those tastes that one can’t stop craving the next day. My one complaint was the two overcooked drumsticks that really served no purpose other than to take the place of more sauce and noodles.

While the proliferation of Thai cuisine in the last few decades can be partially attributed to government manipulation, there’s no denying it would all be for naught if it didn’t taste fantastic. Fortunately, flavor is one export that they can’t embargo.

GEEKTOBERFEST Thu, 7pm $25 The Tech Museum of Innovation, San Jose If the recent influx of taprooms opening up all over Silicon Valley proves anything, it’s that hackers love beer just as much as anyone, and that many of them have taken a scientific approach to their sudsing.

Enter Geektoberfest, wherein The Tech Museum aims to put beer under the microscope. The event features tastings from a wide range of local and regional craft breweries. The twist is your brew comes with demos and experiments on the biology of beer making. There’s also live music from a German-Swiss accordion band called ZickeZacke. Nothing makes craft brew taste better than polka. (WB)

ALANIS MORISSETTE

REDWOOD CITY SALSA FESTIVAL

Thu, Noon, Free History Park, San Jose

Fri, 7:30pm, $59.50+ The Mountain Winery, Saratoga

Sat, Noon, Free Courthouse Square, Redwood City

In a city dominated by the search for the next best thing, it can be refreshing to cast a gaze backward every once in a while. Dating back to 1918, the Kearney Pattern Works & Foundry was the oldest metal foundry in San Jose. With the announcement of its closure last year, photographer Philip Krayna set about chronicling the final months of this historic business that weathered the changing needs of the valley, from producing canning equipment and World War II supplies to biomedical and electronic components. Sep. 26 is a membersonly opening; the exhibit opens to the public the following day and runs through Aug. 31, 2019. (JC)

It’s been over two decades since the release of Alanis Morissette’s 16-time platinum-selling hit Jagged Little Pill, but it remains the worldwide leader for a debut album, marking its place in music history. The Canadian-born singersongwriter has continued to produce a steady stream of angsty alt-rock hits that have garnered both Grammy and Juno Award nods over the years. Pair Morissette’s masterful and earnest vocals with the rustic and magisterial backdrop of the historic Mountain Winery concert venue—and perhaps a glass of wine and a culinary indulgence—and you have the makings of a memorable early autumn evening. (JC)

Salsa festival? So, are we talking the music or the condiment?

Good news: It’s both! Eleven blocks of downtown Redwood City transforms into a salsadancing playground on Saturday with three stages of live salsa, Latin jazz and reggae. And that other stuff? It’s all over the place, with salsa tasting from top local chefs all competing for bragging rights for best salsa in the Bay Area. (Contest tasting takes place from noon to 5pm with winners announced shortly afterward.) There’s also art projects, entertainment for kids and—praise be!—tequila tasting as well. (WB)

BREAKING THE MOLD

ROCK THE DEN! Sat, 8pm, Free Willow Den, San Jose Some people don’t need an excuse to wander into Willow Glen’s most infamous dive bar. But if the Willow Den isn’t already a part of your daily routine, you might want to stick your head in for this rowdy Saturday-night party, sponsored by the awesome Latina women’s social club, Las Bandidas. Live rockabilly bands include The Thirsty Three, Grease Hound and Rockin’ Rick & the Rhythm Wranglers, with MC Hawk Valentine, DJ Miss K and burlesque dancers as well.

Proceeds go to the Epifany Project to fight hunger among the homeless. Donations taken at the door. (WB)

To say that Beyoncé and Jay-Z are a power couple is a stadiumsized understatement. Each with over 20 Grammy Awards to their name, together they have sizzled across stages, studio albums and social media feeds. Their On the Run II tour will bring spectacle and complicated love into focus at Levi’s Stadium. Don’t expect the couple to shy away from the rocky road of infidelity and reconciliation that has played out across their critically acclaimed albums, but expect the reconciliation point to be driven home in high definition.

So grab your bae and take in all the sensory overload you can handle from Bey and Jay. (JC)

Pop punk aficionados, rejoice.

Chicago’s Fall Out Boy is coming to town following the release of Mania, their highly anticipated seventh studio album. Mania is the fourth album Fall Out Boy has sent to the top of the Billboard 200 chart, and the supporting tour features special guests Machine Gun Kelly and L.I.F.T. With a catalog spanning the aughts and teens, Fall Out Boy now has the power to pluck chords for nostalgia alongside newer hits. As an added bonus, ticket sales contribute to the Fall Out Boy Fund that supports a variety of charitable organizations in Chicago. (JC)

LITTLE ITALY STREET FEST

CHILDISH GAMBINO

Sun, 11am, Free Little Italy District, San Jose

Tue, 7:30pm, $49+ SAP Center, San Jose

For the third straight year, downtown San Jose whips out its red, white and green to celebrate all things Italian. Restaurants and businesses from San Jose’s Little Italy district will be providing their best cuisine and wine.

Live entertainment comes to you via Pasquale Esposito, the North Beach Boys, Johnny Neri Band, Anthony Nino Lane Band, Vanessa Raci and many more.

Plus, activities for kids, Italian arts and crafts, and an update on the upcoming Italian Museum & Cultural Center. Organizers say that the festival last year attracted nearly 25,000 souls, so they must be doing something right. (WB)

Childish Gambino’s 2016 album Awaken, My Love! may have spawned the massive hit “Redbone,” but it proved to only be the beginning of a shift for the musician, one that culminated in his massive 2018 banger “This is America.” Like The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Gambino’s (a.k.a. Donald Glover’s) recent works have made a conscious effort to fuse all elements of the AfricanAmerican experience, creating something that is both pop and a cultural document. Not bad for a project that started with a WuTang name generator. (MH)

FLORAL ARRANGEMENT An untitled work from Dinh Q. Lê’s 2006 series ‘Tapestry,’ one of many works in the artists sprawling new SJMA exhibit.

Country Songs In ‘True Journey is Return,’ Dinh Q. Lê explores diasporic identity

BY GARY SINGH

A

FTER RECEIVING his art degrees in the US, the Vietnamese artist Dinh Q. Lê returned home to Vietnam for good in 1997, only to stumble across a powerful metaphor. He saw groups of clam diggers walking into the sea at low tide, baskets in hand and hats on their heads, in search of goods.

The scene triggered memories of own traumatic experiences of leaving the country by walking toward a boat at sea. In the West, we might call this a “full circle moment,” but for Lê the image resulted in his first video work,

The Imaginary Country (2006), now on display at the San Jose Museum of Art. The complete exhibit, “Dinh Q. Lê: True Journey is Return,” is the artist’s first major US show in over a decade and occupies almost all of the upstairs galleries. In a gorgeous way, Lê transforms diasporic themes of exile, memory and global estrangement into a serene experience.

In one room, The Imaginary Country features floor-to-ceiling video projections of looped, overlapping footage. Largerthan-lifesize people walk into the sea with their baskets and their gear, ready to dig for clams. On the opposite wall, another projection documents the stories of 11 diasporic Vietnamese from

the U.S., Canada and France, all of whom returned to Vietnam.

Some of them grew up in the West not knowing what their ancestral country looked like, while others were ruined by the perspectives of Hollywood and needed to see the real country.

Their stories document the struggles involved with reclaiming one’s heritage.

The room thus immerses the viewer/ participant with the sound of ocean waves collaged with human voices telling diasporic stories, all creating a cyclical meditative space of departure and return, with the past and future expanding and contracting like a rubber band. Themes of exile, longing and loss float to the surface. No matter how much Vietnam has changed, the sea might be the only true constant. One can imagine the stories it holds.

Yet this is just one room. The main experience of the show, Crossing the Farther Shore (2014) features seven large “cages,” each one constructed with thousands of found photographs from Lê’s massive archive, all strung together with twine. Although suspended from the ceiling, the cages seem weightless, alluding to the mosquito nets that

refugees like Lê slept under in camps or perhaps the emotional prisonerlike experience refugees often suffer.

One of cages has all the photos facing inward to acknowledge the misery and containment of the prisoners.

On the reverse of every photo are various texts, either inscriptions from their former owner, handwritten texts from the 19th-century epic poem “The Tale of Kieu” or recollections by Vietnamese-Americans gathered from the Houston Asian American Archive at Rice University, where the installation was first shown. As such, the viewer/ participant witnesses private and unknown identities stitched together with cultural, personal and historical narratives, all as an ethereal, atmospheric memory of Vietnam—history as cross-stitch, as embroidery. Inside the cages, hundreds of additional photos are strewn about the floor, perhaps an analogy for the number of people who escaped Vietnam. No one can know the exact number of photos, as there are too many to count, as with all refugee crises.

Continuing through the exhibit, one turns a corner into North Vietnam via more video installations. Light and Belief: Voices and Sketches of Life from the Vietnam War features North Vietnamese artist-soldiers bragging about the weaponization of art for political gain via statements like: “If artists love their country, they must be warriors on the battlefield of culture and ideology.

Their weapons are pens, pencils, musical instruments and the singing voice.” Accompanying the video on the opposite wall are 101 drawings and watercolors made by North Vietnamese artists-soldiers originally commissioned for Documenta 13 in Europe.

Counterpointing the commie bravado we find another video, Vision In Darkness: Tran Trung Tin, featuring interviews with friends and relatives of the artist, a former secretary of the Communist Party who later resigned.

Six of his paintings on newsprint grace the wall across from the video.

At the reception, Lê said he never really belonged in the US, and that Vietnam is his true home. Via this exhibit, we are lucky to join him in his journey.

EXHIBIT

All That Glitters THE GILDED AGE far outshines nature in the Cantor Arts Center’s new show, “Painting Nature in the American Gilded Age.” Grandiloquent portraits from the turn of the 20th century line the walls. Opulently attired men and women stare back at their makers and, unknowingly, at us in the future. The curators have drawn a tenuous link between this beau monde and the natural world. It’s not an implausible relationship, but you may have to strain your eyes to see it.

In his Portrait of Mrs. Chase (c. 1910), William Merritt Chase (1849-1916) adorns his wife’s pale décolletage with jewels. He drapes a sumptuous green skirt over her right knee. It shimmers like the wings of an iridescent butterfly. That brilliant splash of color, however, is the only sign of flora or fauna in the portrait.

Edith Wharton scrutinized the opulence on display in this strata of society.

Chase admires the wealth and ease his wife embodies.

Chase’s contemporary Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) gives us Portrait of Professor William D. Marks (c. 1886), which ought to be subtitled A Study in Brown. The stern-faced professor sits at a table glumly. His mustache is brown, as are his suit, tie, shoes and mood. Eakins doesn’t compose a background so much as muddy it with a puddle of brushstrokes. Professor Marks must have presided over many unhappy classrooms to have merited such a stormy rendition.

In contrast, The Crystal (1900) by William McGregor Paxton (1869-1941) is a study in harmony Painting Nature in the and light. Paxton paints his wife in a lustrous, American Gilded Age honeyed lemon dress. Her settee is embroidered with a floral pattern that evokes chinoiserie. Mrs. Thru Aug 25, 2019, Free Paxton gazes inside the crystal ball she holds in the Cantor Arts Center, palms of her hands. But the mauve and turquoise Stanford flowers stitched into her furniture aren’t depictions museum.stanford.edu of nature. Or if they are, then the aspect of nature on display is one that’s been commodified and packaged by that era’s age of industrial and urban growth.

The oil paintings that depart farther from the confines of polite drawing rooms are ones by the American painter William Trost Richards (1833-1905).

He paints a number of shoreline seascapes. Coastal Scene with Fort Dumpling shows a placid Rhode Island harbor. It’s the largest work by Richards in the gallery. But there’s also a series of his smaller paintings, grouped together under glass, that are just as impressive. Each one is an emotional tempest in miniature. His work most represents the gilded age of nature—one that Professor Marks must have enjoyed watching as it rebelled against mankind with voluminous clouds and roiling, determined waves. —Jeffrey Edalatpour

metroactive FILM

LIFE ON MARS One of the standouts at the Silicon Valley Science Fiction Short Film Festival is ‘My Life on Mars,’ by Nölwenn Roberts.

Feast of Fests Frost on the pumpkins and shorts at the theaters this film fest season

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

T

HE SEASON OF pumpkinspiced everything and falling leaves is also a heavy time for film festivals. After all, there’s only so many shopping days left until the Oscar nominations are announced. The month of film festivals opens locally Sep. 28 with the Silicon Valley Science Fiction Short Film Festival at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View.

So much of science fiction depends on a single tricky idea. That’s why probably the most perfect science

fiction film is 1962’s La Jetee, only 28 minutes long. Chris Marker’s film said it all about the persistence of memory in the face of the nuclear holocaust—this, even before it was remade as the movie and TV show 12 Monkeys. Thus, the various animation, music video and live action directors at this day-long fest demonstrate the importance of brevity in playful music videos, as well as calling cards from young animators stretching their wings.

“My Life on Mars” by French animator Nölwenn Roberts has a charming approach to retrofuturism. It’s a quick profile of a working stiff on the Red Planet—

strap-hanging on the subway to work, watching a group of soccer players in space suits on TV, and trying to find a little relief at a holodeck, which keeps getting interrupted by commercials (in this case a waif with a ukulele singing “Buy, buy, buy.”) It certainly looks like something Roberts could fill out; she has the dimensions of a world sketched out, and all that’s wanting is a plot.

Favorites here were the Czech stop-motion animation, “Running Sushi,” by Stepan Etrych and Jan Petrak, visualizing an Olympic track and field event in which pieces of nigiri sushi are competing. The agony of defeat is part of it, as when one piece misses a hurdle and crashes into a trough of soy sauce. If that makes you hungry, Adam Tarrush’s “Game” will change your mind with a post-apocalyptic trio teetering on the edge of cannibalism.

After this fest comes the ninth annual SILICON VALLEY AFRICAN FILM FESTIVAL. Held Oct. 5-7, this three-day, 74-film event is held at the Hoover Theater

in San Jose. It opens with Pile ou Face (Heads or Tails) by Morocco’s Hamid Zaine. Events include receptions and a visit by Susan L. Taylor, former editor of Essence magazine. Offerings include Iya Tunde, about Germaine Acogny, a French-Senegalese professor of dance crossing into her 70th year. Patrick Kabeya’s Congo: A Political Tragedy, chronicles that infamously misruled nation. MarieMadeleine: A Female Chief observes the rare enthroning of a woman as the chief of a Cameroonian village.

Nigerian documentarian Toyin Ibrahim Adekeye’s Bigger Than Africa investigates an interesting anthropological question. Countless African nations were drained by the slave trade. Of this tragic diaspora, why was it that the Yoruba customs persisted in the New World, more than the rituals and arts of any other culture?

The SAN JOSE INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL celebrates its 10th anniversary when it runs Oct. 11-14 at the CineArts at Santana Row. There will be 150 films to view, including in programs carrying a soft-R rating to kids’ shows.

Then, the following weekend, the 27th ANNUAL SILICON VALLEY JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL begins its month-long run— variously at the Saratoga 14 and the Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto.

Opening night, Oct. 14: Sammy Davis, Jr: I Gotta Be Me. Manny Davis, Sammy’s son, will be on hand for this look back at the world’s most famous ger (it means “stranger” in Hebrew, but it’s the word for a convert to Judaism). The incandescent performer who overcame racism by the force of his talent persists as one of the most beloved entertainers of the 20th century.

Jewish film festivals always have a lot of latitude—a diaspora culture means films from around the world, as we see with the SV African Fest.

But nothing’s quite as universal as the UN Association Film Festival, opening Oct. 18. Run by a body that seeks to advance the aims of the United Nations, this spectacularly rich and diverse fest has as its theme “Tomorrow?” As in, will there be one?

It’s the same question science fiction tries to answer, but this cornucopia of documentaries—both short and long—digs into the facts instead of the fantastical forecasts.

More about this coming up.

REVIEW

SEPTEMBER 26-OCTOBER 2, 2018 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

SPY GAMES Season 7 of ‘The Venture Bros’ dives deeper into the realm of super-science and arrested development.

Childhood’s End DOC HAMMER and Jackson Publick’s animated saga of busted childhood dreams, The Venture Bros., begins as a parody of the 1964 cartoon Johnny Quest—a touchstone of cool for boomer-boys (fondly remembered, Johnny turned up on a TV set in The Incredibles 2). But the Ventures have left the realm of ordinary parody far behind.

Ventures students know the language: the humiliating lives of “henches” (short for henchmen) as well as the criminal folly—and trust funds—involved in “arching,” or being an arch-enemy. Now we know why comic book villains always get away. Apparently, the push and pull between good and evil is regulated by stringent labor laws. One episode in season 7 is devoted to the contract talks between the federal investigators the OSI, and the Guild of Calamitous Intent, the villains’ union.

Two pillars of competence here: the hulking mulleted OSI bodyguard, Brock Samson (voiced in a John Wayne drawl by Patrick Warburton), and the attractive yet gravel-voiced Dr. Mrs.The Monarch, simultaneously a rising Guild power and loyal wife to that butterfly of peril. The Monarch, with his itty-bitty crown and fail-prone schemes, is having tough times. He has a low Guild rating and an empty bank account. This season, the Monarch plumbs new depths of ineptitude, a level matched only by his constant foe, Dr. Rusty Venture.

Voiced by James Urbaniak in a Jack Lemmon squawk, this Rusty is a former child star type. He’s a would-be swinger The Venture Bros. whose idea of cool is stuck in 1964. In Rusty’s defense, he’s also a PTSD sufferer scarred by the adventures he was Season 7 dragged through as a child by his alpha-male dad Dr. Jonas Amazon/ Venture. Rusty’s backward twin sons Dean and Hank are Adult Swim starting to grow up. Signs point to a confrontation between the brothers over Hank’s first serious girlfriend, Sirena.

The complexity of this steadily maturing satire—skewering Marvel comics and Eyes Wide Shut in one episode—suggests Thomas Pynchon is an unbilled writer. J. G. Thirlwell’s smashing spy-jazz soundtrack is at a maximum level of hysterical trumpets and sinister piano. All the broken dreams of the 1960s weren’t about protests and Nixon; some are about space-age fantasies and the futuristic Tomorrowlands allegedly awaiting boomer kids. The Venture Bros sensibly asks what part of this pop futurism was entertainment, and what was just colonizing kid’s brains to make them soldiers and spooks. A possible moral: Just as Nietzsche warned that those who fight dragons must worry about becoming one, a person following childhood dreams may end up as a fogbound child. —Richard von Busack

metroactive MUSIC

EXTENDING HER REACH Olympic volleyball player aims to go for the gold in 2020.

In the meantime, she’s organizing a a touring lifestyle festival.

Rock & Roll Shot Olympian Kerri Walsh Jennings hosts p1440 music and volleyball series at Avaya

BY ESTEFANY GONZALEZ

T

HE P1440 SAN JOSE Invitational is more than a three-day volleyball tournament.

In fact, it’s part of a list of p1440 events highlighting volleyball, live music and personal development hitting major cities including Las Vegas, San Diego and Huntington Beach this year.

Each night, after the volleyball ends, the fest will shift into live music mode, hosting a number of marquee pop groups including Grouplove, Marian Hill, Foster The People, Daya and Magic Giant.

And yet, p1440 isn’t a music festival with a side of volleyball. “We’re not Coachella, we’re not Wanderlust.

We’re kind of a lot; do you have an hour?” jokes three-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings, the event’s organizer.

As a professional athlete, Walsh Jennings has come to realize music plays a large role within sports. “It’s kind of the third man on the court for all of the athletes,” she says from Manhattan Beach, where she has just finished a long training session.

At this point in her career, she has become skilled at using every minute of the day to the max. “I still have one more Olympics in me. My goal

and my plan is to qualify and win the Tokyo games in 2020,” she says.

In a way, the setting of the phone call symbolizes exactly what p1440 stands for, to live all 1440 minutes of the day with purpose. Walsh Jennings (who co-founded p1440 with her husband Casey Jennings and a team of leading health experts) maximizes her time by connecting her mind, body and spirit while leaning on a supportive team. All tools she’s hoping to share with the public through the p1440 events Walsh Jennings and her team are curating.

“We’re basically re-creating a day in our life,” she says. “When you show up at a p1440 event, you’re going to be exposed to a lot of wonderful stuff, and you don’t need to participate right away; you can sit back and watch, but hopefully by the end, you’re diving in.”

Though Walsh Jennings no longer lives in the South Bay, she remembers her time at Archbishop Mitty High School and Stanford University fondly. She still considers herself a “local gal at heart” and can’t wait to kick off the first-ever p1440 event in the area where she first discovered

her passion for volleyball. “It’s my favorite place in the world,” she says.

The festival is jam-packed with dozens of activities, including a kid’s court, food trucks and interactive art. But the real gems are the onsite wellness activities such as guided meditation with Hailey Lott, yoga sessions Kim Bauman, onsite training sessions with the pros, and the live cooking demos with Chef Amber Caudle.

“Health and wellness are universal and evergreen,” Walsh Jennings says.

“That’s never going to go out of style and it’s relevant for any human being.

I don’t care if you’re a 1-month-old or 99 years old.”

Her mission is to spark the attendee’s curiosity in the same way her parents piqued her interest in sports as a child. “They introduced me and put me around amazing things, let me do the work—let me go down the rabbit hole to figure things out,” she says. “We really want to lower the barrier to try new things.”

For Walsh Jennings, creating a community past the upcoming event is important. She’s hoping the p1440 team can start a dialogue in person and online by staying connected through the p1440 digital experience component that shares healthy recipes, athlete’s music playlists and streams workouts, among other things.

“We want people to come meet our experts and immerse with us and then stay with us 365 when we’re not having events as well, ” she says. “Sport has changed my life; sport is transformative and beautiful but within that, the world needs positivity and it needs community and connectivity.”

The Olympian is excited to share her love for volleyball with her hometown community. The festival will feature an onsite tournament, bringing in players from around the globe to Avaya Stadium. Anouk VergeDepre, Carolina Solberg, Anders Mol and Christian Sorum will all be there, playing on sand courts. About 2,700 tons of sand will be trucked in to keep the beach vibes authentic.

Violent Delights BECAUSE HE’S POLITE, Andrew Savage obliges and dutifully answers the question he’s been asked many times before during this most recent cycle of interviews. The singer and songwriter for New York based art-punk-ramshackle-rockers Parquet Courts explains that he and his bandmates connected with producer Brian Burton—a.k.a. Danger Mouse—after Burton reached out to them via email.

The band had already written most of what would become their seventh LP, Wide Awake! They even had studio time booked to begin tracking the record. All the same, Burton convinced Parquet Courts to postpone and meet with him.

It was a risk and a novel move for the New York quartet. They’d never worked with a producer before—let alone one with as marquee a name as Danger Mouse. Ultimately, they were persuaded by his persistence and his clear fandom.

“He really wanted to do it,” Savage says. “We wanted to try something new.”

But if Savage is being honest, he doesn’t really want to talk about Burton.

He’s happy with how the Wide Awake! turned out, and he says Burton definitely brought some insights to the recording process that the band never could have.

All the same, Savage would much rather talk about the music, and particularly the lyrics, on this latest album. That’s understandable. Though Parquet Courts have always been known for infusing their rolicking, guitardriven tunes with social critique, the songs on Wide Awake! represent some of the most direct calls to action that the band have ever put to tape.

A prime is example is “Violence,” a funky, post-punky screed bemoaning the ubiquity of violence in America. It’s a song that calls out everything from micro-aggressions and violence as Parquet Courts entertainment to police brutality, while also displaying a kind of self-awareness often absent in rock songs that Sep 28, 7pm, $21.50+ challenge the status quo. “Allow me to ponder the role The Ritz, San Jose I play in this pornographic spectacle of black death,” theritzsanjose.com Savage yells, seemingly at himself, as he calls upon the listener to take a good, hard look in the mirror.

“I wanted to articulate angst that was very clear and very direct and confrontational without being nihilistic,” he explains of the song. “I wanted to be, I guess, constructive. It’s important for us all to question this kind of institutionalized injustice. The main thing about violence is as Americans— our complicity to American violence.”

It’s heady stuff. It also absolutely rocks—a great combination.

If DEEP PURPLE had done nothing more than record “Smoke on the Water,” the band would have earned a place of honor in rock history.

Though the riff-based classic (with a true-story lyric about a fire at a Montreux, Switzerland concert venue) has become a cliché among musicians and fans alike, there’s no mistaking its appeal. And the album that features the tune—1972’s Machine Head—is an undisputed classic.

The history of this British band is winding and complicated; since forming in Hertford, England in 1967, more than a dozen musicians have passed through its ranks. The most celebrated lineup is the one that made Machine Head and three other highly regarded albums, but every lineup created memorable music.

Deep Purple’s early style was prototypical progressive rock, with the dramatic organ work Deep Purple of Jon Lord at the center of the group’s sound (Lord retired in 2002 and passed away in 2012). By Sep 29, 7pm $30+ 1970 the group had changed its style to a heavier Shoreline approach, but dazzling instrumental work—most Amphitheatre, notably from Lord, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and Mountain View drummer Ian Paice—meant that Deep Purple was always a cut above most hard rock bands.

Blackmore left for good in the 1990s; today the guitar position is ably filled by virtuoso Steve Morse, who came to fame with Dixie Dregs, the fusion band he founded. Paice is the sole member who has been with the group since its beginning. Longtime in-demand session keyboardist Don Airey took over when Lord retired, and bassist Roger Glover and vocalist Ian Gillan, two members of the prime early 1970s lineup, have both been back in the fold for many years.

Not content to tour and perform as a “legacy group,” today’s Deep Purple showcases both its classic material and songs from its two most recent albums, 2013’s Now What?! and Infinite from 2017. Both were produced by Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper) and earned critical praise.

“Time for Bedlam,” the leadoff single from Infinite, balances melodrama, pounding riffs and muscular, flashy instrumental pyrotechnics. In the midst of what the band is calling its “Long Goodbye Tour,” Deep Purple’s current sound is contemporary melodic hard rock, rooted in the classic style that earned the band its reputation as masters of the genre. They share the bill with fellow hard rocking pioneers Judas Priest. —Bill Kopp

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

There will sometimes be reasons you are unable to communicate using the spoken word: Your jaw is wired shut. You are gagged with duct tape. A wizard has turned you into a cocker spaniel.

Otherwise, when you’d like another person to do something, it’s best not to express this to them in code: “I want you to meet my needs—right after you guess what they are!”

Passive-aggressiveness is a kind of coded communication—a form of “indirect speech,” which is a way of saying something without flat-out saying it. The term “passive-aggressive” was coined by a military psychologist, Col. William Menninger, during World War II. He used it to describe soldiers who, instead of saying no to a direct order, wiggled out through “passive measures” including “procrastination, inefficiency and passive obstructionism.”

Menninger’s term was useful in military memos because, as historian Christopher Lane puts it, the army couldn’t issue a directive against pouting.

However, there was no research to support it as a personality disorder—a chronic, genetically driven pattern of maladaptive thinking and behavior.

Yet, in the 1950s, a group of psychiatrists writing the mental disorders bible, the DSM, took a big, unscientific leap. They willy-nilly added passive-aggressiveness to the list of personality disorders in the book, perhaps because without an official “disorder” label (and diagnostic codes that go with), health insurance companies wouldn’t pay therapists to treat it.

But consider the weaselly “passiveaggressive” tack those soldiers took.

Though their indirect approach to getting their way was militarily unhelpful, it was anything but maladaptive for them personally. It allowed them to avoid both court martial and getting shot at—or to stay in bed “sick” instead of scrubbing the grout in the latrines with their toothbrush.

In other words, indirect communication like theirs is often

adaptive, meaning highly useful—a form of diplomacy. Per psychologist Steven Pinker, it’s a crafty way to communicate a potentially inflammatory message without causing offense the way baldly stating one’s feelings would. For example, there’s the social relationship-preserving hint about table manners, “Wow, Jason, you’re really enjoying that risotto!” instead of the more honest “Gross! You eat like a feral hog on roadkill!”

The thing is, avoiding causing offense can go too far, like when it’s driven by a long-held and unexamined belief that you’re offensive simply by existing and having needs. Understanding that, explore the root of your own passiveaggressive behavior. My guess? It’s fear of conflict, or rather, of the results of conflict.

Granted, at some point, it was probably protective for you to avoid conflict—and the direct engagement that could lead to it—like if you had a volatile and abusive parent. However, as an adult, indirect communication should be a tool you use when it suits the situation, not a behavior you robotically default to.

Consider that conflict, when expressed in healthy, non-inflammatory ways, can be a positive thing—a source for personal and collective growth and deeper relationships.

But to take advantage of this after years of auto-burying your feelings, you’ll need to start by articulating to yourself what you want in a particular situation. Next, while ignoring the protests of your fears, express your needs and/or feelings to the other person with healthy directness: “Hey, can you guesstimate how many minutes till you’re done with your work?” and maybe add, “I have a special dinner planned, and I don’t want it to get cold.”

Admittedly, some conflicts end up in gridlock, which means you won’t always get what you want. However, you’re far more likely to get your needs met if you don’t just fester with resentment or turn every relationship interaction into an intricate game of charades:

SEPTEMBER 26-OCTOBER 2, 2018 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

My girlfriend, who’d been traveling, lost track of what day it was and was surprised when I showed up on the usual night I come cook her dinner. She was happy to see me but said she needed to finish this one “urgent work email.” How nice. Dinner would get cold while she took forever. Instead of getting started in the kitchen, I sat down angrily on the couch. “What’s wrong?” she asked. I said, “I’ll just sit here till you’re ready!” She got angry, saying that I should have just asked her how long she’d be or told her I felt bad. She then went on about how I have a “toxic” habit of this sort of “passive-aggressive” behavior, and I need to stop “acting out” before it ruins our relationship. I love her and don’t want to lose her. Help!—Doghouse

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: GENEVIEVE K. SIMONEIT CASE NO. 18-PR184063 To all heirs, beneficiaries creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of: Genevieve K. Simoneit. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Public Administrator of the County Santa Clara in the Superior Court of California, County of: SANTA CLARA. The petition for Probate requests that: Public Administrator of Santa Clara County be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The Petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: October 26, 2018 at 9 a.m. in Dept. 12 located at 191 NORTH FIRST STREET, SAN JOSE, CA, 95113. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney of petitioner: Mark A. Gonzalez, Lead Deputy County Counsel, OFFICE OF THE COUNTY COUNSEL, 373 West Julian Street, Suite 300 San Jose, CA, 95110. 408-758-4200 (Pub CC 09/19, 09/26, 10/03/2018)

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do you have any skills at living on the edge between the light and the dark?

Are you curious about what the world might look like and how people would treat you if you refused to divide everything up into that which helps you and that which doesn't help you? Can you imagine how it would feel if you loved your life just the way it is and not wish it were different from what it is?

Please note: People less courageous than you might prefer you to be less courageous. But I hope you'll stay true to the experiment of living on the edge between the light and the dark.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to Popbitch. com, most top-charting pop songs are in a minor key. In light of this fact, I encourage you to avoid listening to pop songs for the next three weeks.

In my astrological opinion, it's essential that you surround yourself with stimuli that don't tend to make you sad and blue, that don't influence you to interpret your experience through a melancholic, mournful filter. To accomplish the assignments that life will be sending you, you need to at least temporarily cultivate a mood of crafty optimism.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini regent Queen Victoria (1819-1901) wore crotchless underwear made of linen. A few years ago, Britain's Museums, Libraries and Archives Council accorded them "national designated status," an official notice that means they are a national treasure. If I had the power, I would give your undergarments an equivalent acknowledgment.

The only evidence I would need to make this bold move would be the intelligence and expressiveness with which you are going to wield your erotic sensibilities in the coming weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I've taken a break from

socializing, my fellow Cancerian. In fact, I'm on sabbatical from my regular rhythm. My goal for the coming days is to commune with my past and review the story of my life. Rather than fill my brain up with the latest news and celebrity gossip, I am meditating on my own deep dark mysteries. I'm mining for secrets that I might be concealing from myself. In accordance with the astrological omens, I suggest that you follow my lead. You might want to delve into boxes of old mementoes or reread emails from years ago. You could get in touch with people who are no longer part of your life even though they were once important to you. How else could you get into intimate contact with your eternal self?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Here's a quote from A Map

of Misreading, a book by renowned literary critic Harold Bloom: "Where the synecdoche of tessera made a totality, however illusive, the metonymy of kenosis breaks this up into discontinuous fragments." What the cluck did Harold Bloom just say?! I'm not being anti-intellectual when I declare this passage to be pretentious drivel. In the coming days, I urge you Leos to draw inspiration from my response to Bloom. Tell the truth about nonsense. Don't pretend to appreciate jumbled or overcomplicated ideas. Expose bunk and bombast.

Be kind if you can, but be firm. You're primed to be a champion of down-to-earth communication.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A data research company, Priceonomics, suggests that Monday is the most productive day of the week and that October is the most productive month of the year. My research suggests that while Capricorns tend to be the most consistently productive of all the signs in the zodiac, Virgos often outstrip them for a six-week period during the end of each September and throughout October. Furthermore, my intuition tells me that you Virgos now have an extraordinary capacity to turn good ideas into practical action. I conclude, therefore, that you are about to embark on a surge of industrious and high-quality work.

(P.S. This October has five Mondays.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Biologists are constantly unearthing new species, although not new in the sense of having just appeared on our planet. In fact, they're animals and plants that have existed for millennia. But they've never before been noticed and identified by science. Among recent additions to our ever-growing knowledge are an orchid in Madagascar that smells like champagne, an electric blue tarantula in the Guyana rainforest,

By ROB BREZSNY week of September 26

and a Western Australian grass that has a flavor resembling salt and vinegar potato chips. I suspect you'll be making metaphorically comparable discoveries in the coming weeks, Libra: evocative beauty that you've been blind to and interesting phenomena that have been hiding in plain sight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There is no such thing as

a plant that blooms continuously. Phases of withering and dormancy are just as natural as phases of growth. I bring this fact to your attention to help you remain poised as you go through your own period of withering followed by dormancy. You should accept life's demand that you slow down and explore the mysteries of fallowness. You should surrender sweetly to stasis and enjoy your time of rest and recharging.

That's the best way to prepare for the new cycle of growth that will begin in a few weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you were ever

going to win a contest that awarded you a free vacation to an exotic sanctuary, it would probably happen during the next three weeks. If a toy company would ever approach you about developing a line of action figures and kids' books based on your life, it might also be sometime soon. And if you have ever had hopes of converting your adversaries into allies, or getting support and backing for your good original ideas, or finding unexpected inspiration to fix one of your not-so-good habits, those opportunities are now more likely than they have been for some time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): An 81-year-old

Capricorn man named James Harrison has donated his unique blood on 1,173 occasions. Scientists have used it to make medicine that prevents Rhesus disease in unborn babies, thereby healing more than 2.4 million kids and literally saving thousands of lives. I don't expect you to do anything nearly as remarkable. But I do want to let you know that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to lift your generosity and compassion to the next level. Harrison would serve well as your patron saint.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): On a spring morning

some years ago, a smoky aroma woke me from a deep sleep. Peering out my bedroom window into the backyard, I saw that my trickster girlfriend Anastasia had built a bonfire. When I stumbled to my closet to get dressed, I found my clothes missing. There were no garments in my dresser, either. In my groggy haze, I realized that my entire wardrobe had become fuel for Anastasia's conflagration. It was too late to intervene, and I was still quite drowsy, so I crawled back in bed to resume snoozing. A while later, I woke to find her standing next to the bed bearing a luxurious breakfast she said she'd cooked over the flames of my burning clothes. After our meal, we stayed in bed all day, indulging in a variety of riotous fun. I'm not predicting that similar events will unfold in your life, Aquarius.

But you may experience adventures that are almost equally boisterous, hilarious and mysterious.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I've got three teachings for you. 1. Was there a time in your past when bad romance wounded your talent for love? Yes, but you now have more power to heal that wound than you've ever had before. 2. Is it possible you're ready to shed a semi-delicious addiction to a chaotic magic? Yes. Clarity is poised to trump melodrama.

Joyous decisiveness is primed to vanquish ingrained sadness. 3. Has there ever been a better time than now to resolve and graduate from past events that have bothered and drained you for a long time? No. This is the best time ever.

Homework: Make two fresh promises to yourself, one that's easy to keep and one that's at the edge of your capacity to live up to.

POT SHOTS

CENSORED Social media platforms have not been kind to accounts depicting marijuana, such as Instagram influencer @imcannabess.

Insta-Banned

L

IGHTING UP A joint is now legal in some form in 30 states, but posting your smoke sesh could still get you kicked off social media. As draconian as it sounds, that’s what some users on Instagram and other platforms say has happened to them. Seattle-based photographer Bess Byers, who has more than 94,000 followers, started a petition to protest her IG account @imcannabess being shut down twice in August.

More than 15,000 people have signed the petition, which asks Instagram to update their terms of service to “reflect changing cannabis laws,” “stop targeting legal businesses” and “end the censorship and suppression of cannabis content.”

Byers’ weed-themed account, which features shots of grows and people toking, was eventually reactivated after it was “disabled by mistake,” but another cannabis activist had her hemp cafe’s account disabled around the same time.

When it was reactivated, Jodie Emery told Marijuana.com that she received the same email as Byers stating her account was shut down “by mistake.” Instagram isn’t the only platform accused of censoring marijuana content; Loaded Up Entertainment was deleted from YouTube earlier this year for posting weedrelated videos, including one about the best munchies to eat while stoned.

Numerous Bay Area dispensaries have had profiles for years without any issues, raising questions of what makes these companies act on certain accounts. YouTube prohibits videos that show “drug abuse, underage drinking and smoking,” but videos showing how to manicure homegrown buds are arguably more informative than pro-drug propaganda. Facebook also has inconsistent criteria for ganja; Weedmaps is greenlighted to promote themselves on Facebook, but last year the social media giant got in hot water for deleting the pages of several licensed dispensaries in Alaska.

Spotty guidelines have pushed some canna-thusiasts to create their own platforms; Mass Roots is a hybrid of marijuana news and dispensary advertising platform that bills itself as a social media website, but an even newer network just popped up. Smoke Network plans to stop reefer censorship with blockchain technology somewhat like Bitcoin, letting weed content be safely stored without any chance of removal or revision by outsiders. They also promise to reward people who contribute to the network with cryptocurrency; upvoted users also receive part of the network’s daily rewards, encouraging further participation. The network is currently giving away free SMOKE coins for registering; those interested can sign up at Smoke.Network.—Julia Baum
