comments@metronews.com RE: NEW STATE LAW AIMS TO PREVENT HAIRSTYLE-BASED DISCRIMINATION, NEWS, AUG. 14

Just keep it out of my face and food.

It’s hot. For the third day in a row, it’s been over a hundred degrees. There’s an 80-year-old’s birthday party taking place on the block, and you’re one of the guests. It’s a milestone and you got there a little late. Cars are completely crammed in their driveway and have poured out into our normally vacant streets. It’s like Tasman Drive on Fourth of July or the Great Mall parking lot during Christmas.

Good luck finding a spot. It’s futile. I almost pitied you because you too are old.

You’ve probably known the celebrant a few decades.

Maybe, you’re even family?

But to this quiet Cupertino cul-de-sac, you’re just another sidewalk vehicle. You’ll get no preferential treatment here, no valet service or reserved parking. I know you know this because you’ve circled back and forth several times.

But instead of doing the right thing and parking a few streets down, risking sunburn and a damp dress shirt, you chose to park in the next door neighbor’s driveway because you thought they weren’t home. You were right, they weren’t. But I saw you.

ROBYN VIA SAN JOSE INSIDE RE: NEW STATE LAW AIMS TO PREVENT HAIRSTYLE-BASED DISCRIMINATION, NEWS, AUG. 14 The previous law discriminated in the sense that hair texture, skin color and gender are not choices you make. You are born with these characteristics. Any law that dictates how your natural hair should be worn is discriminative.

GWEN VIA SAN JOSE INSIDE

RE: SJ MAYOR UNVEILS PLAN TO COMBAT GUN VIOLENCE, SAN JOSE INSIDE, AUG. 14

Sam Liccardo’s gun liability Insurance will only be a burden on lawful gun owners. Criminals will probably not register their owned weapons or new ones they acquire. Requiring insurance on will create a database of all the lawful gun owners. Such a list will be very convenient if the government wants to confiscate weapons from compliant lawful gun owners. Would lawful gun-owners be penalized for not having insurance?

JOHN BRUECK VIA EMAIL

RE: NEW STATE LAW AIMS TO PREVENT HAIRSTYLE-BASED DISCRIMINATION, NEWS, AUG. 14 Is this political correctness ever going to end? To the students that think rules and laws don’t apply to them, think again.

The real world is going to be a rude awakening.

Check, Please Since word got out about Santa Clara County DA JEFF ROSEN surveilling Sheriff LAURIE SMITH’s orbit for some vaguely defined reason related to theories about dealmaking and concealedweapon permits, most They of her allies have kept a Did pretty low profile.

What?

Enter JAMES CAMPAGNA, SEND TIPS TO treasurer of pro-Smith FLY@ independent expenditure METRONEWS. committee Santa Clara COM County Public Safety Advocates, who touched base with Fly a few days ago in a show of transparency.

Despite a $45,000 donation to the PAC from bodyguard MARTIN NIELSEN that’s raised eyebrows since we first pointed it out, Campagna assures us that his team operates the committee with high ethical standards.

He makes no apologies for supporting Smith, and in an email to Fly offers high praise for her “fortitude and leadership.”

“A recent example,” he says, “was the lamentable shooting at our beloved Gilroy Garlic Festival, where her local team and the rest of the county law enforcement support teams reacted aggressively and with great courage to avoid an even bigger massacre.”

Finally, Campagna goes on to say, he has no clue who Nielsen is—nor anyone at AS Solution, the executive protection firm he works for that provides security to Silicon Valley A-listers including MARK ZUCKERBERG. If he’d noticed anything untoward about Nielsen’s gift, Campagna says he’d have notified the right people “in full accordance with the law.”

Attached to Campagna’s email was a scanned copy of Nielsen’s handwritten $45,000 check. Dated Oct. 4, 2018 and drawn on an account at Citibank’s Santa Monica branch, it misstates the name of the PAC, leaving out the word “public.”The “memo” line of the document designates the payment a “donation,” and it’s signed with a perfunctory flourish.

That’s obviously enough hints for subpoena-empowered investigators to track down the true source of the funds behind Nielsen’s generosity.

ILLUMINATING The San Jose artists who created the “San Carlos Lantern Relay” made five times less money than Seattle counterparts who worked on a comparable public art installation.

Term of Art For three decades, city-funded artwork has largely excluded San Jose talent

BY MIKE HUGUENOR

I

n 2012, SAN JOSE announced a new public art initiative intended to make downtown look more like people’s expectations of Silicon Valley.

Funded with a $600,000 grant from ArtPlace America, “Illuminating Downtown” tasked artists with literally lighting up the heart of the city by using a trove of donated LED lights from Philips Lumileds.

“Illuminating Downtown” went live a few years later with its first three pieces. Then-Seattle-based artist Dan Corson dressed two Highway 87 underpasses with interactive lighting.

Called “Sensing YOU” and “Sensing WATER” by the artist, the one close to the SAP Center is unofficially known as the “blue doughnuts.”

“San Carlos Lantern Relay,” a series of eight 6-foot-tall, networked and interactive lamp posts made by locals Steve Durie and Bruce Gardner, can be activated by pedestrians at the touch of a button.

Corson and his team got $657,000

from the city and another $100,000 from the San Jose Downtown Association. He later relocated to Hawaii to open a boutique chocolate farm.

For their eight individual pieces, Durie and Gardner split $90,000.

According to the first analysis of the city’s public art projects by this news organization, that economic disparity is par for the course in San Jose. Not only does the city award the vast majority of its public art money to creatives without any apparent ties to San Jose, it also pays local artists far less on average than their out-of-town counterparts.

Since the late ’80s, the city of San Jose has amassed an impressive array of public art. On its website, the city’s Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA) details 150 pieces in the collection, prefacing a database of the installations by saying, “We strive to celebrate the city’s diversity, innovative spirit [and] historic richness.” But after a spate of high-profile public art contracts went to artists, musicians and designers from outside the city, local creatives began

HOMEGROWN As the city systematically overlooks San Jose artists, Multicultural Arts Leadership Institute director Demone Carter works tirelessly to elevate local talent.

to wonder about the collection, and how well it actually represents the community.

Using the city’s website and publicly searchable contracts, Metro analyzed the collection by looking at the provenance of the artists and how much money each creative made per project. The numbers paint a story of a city that has failed to use its economic power to invest in its own art community.

In 30 years of commissions, from 1988 to 2017, the city entered into contracts with San Jose artists only about 15 percent of the time. Of the 150 pieces the OCA lists on its website, 127 were made by artists from outside the city.

In analyzing public art contracts for this piece, Metro defines San Jose artists as those with significant, demonstrable links to the city (San Jose State alumni, for example). Through that lens, it appears that the city hired San Jose artists just 15 percent of the time over the course of three decades.

Looking at the money spent on each piece, the disparity becomes even more pronounced. Of the $17.2 million the city spent on its public art collection in that same 30-year timeframe, only $715,937 reached San Jose artists—a

mere 4.15 percent of the total.

On average, artists from outside the city received $134,710 for their projects. San Jose artists, by contrast, received on average $31,406.

No San Jose artist ranked in the top 10 highest payments. No artist from San Jose made it to even the top 20. It’s only at the 22nd spot that we see a San Jose artist show up, namely Tony May, who way back in 1998 took home $175,000 for his collection of ivy-covered arbors titled “Remembering Agriculture.”

“In terms of the numbers, that doesn’t sound good,” Durie says.

A professor at SJSU, Durie is among the relatively few San Jose makers represented in the city’s roster of publicly funded artists.

He and Gardner, who were the only San Jose artists to participate in the “Illuminating Downtown” project, divided that $90,000 among themselves and several part-timers who helped them execute their vision.

“We had a lot of people we had to hire in the design process,” Durie says. “At the request of the city, we had to hire an electrician to vet our design, and a mechanical engineer to vet how the lanterns were mounted to the poles.”

In addition, the artists also had to pay subcontractors to help with the fabrication. For his part, Durie says he has no qualms about what the city paid him, and that the size and complexity of a project should be kept in mind when determining compensation.

“Everything is commensurate on scale,” he says. “My question is not how much they got paid, but what was the nature of the project?”

Scale-wise, there’s a compelling case to make that Durie and Gardner’s work on “San Carlos St. Lantern Relay” was, in many ways, as complex as artist Corson’s work on “Sensing YOU” and “Sensing WATER.” In both cases, the artists had to hire extensive teams to help with fabrication. Both projects spanned multiple blocks downtown

(two for “Sensing YOU” and “Sensing WATER,” and four for “San Carlos St. Lantern Relay”).

Both were funded through the same ArtPlace America grant.

But while Durie and Gardner split a five-figure sum for their work, the Seattle-based Corson made more than five times what they did. That’s probably why Corson can spend his time these days farming cocoa pods in sunny Papaikou.

When presented with Metro’s analysis, Michael Ogilvie—San Jose’s public arts director since coming to San Jose from a similar position in Las Vegas two years ago—defended the city’s decisions. “The calls that we do for public art are open and competitive,” he contends. “There are ways you can restrict them locally, but when you

restrict things locally, there tends to be intellectual inbreeding. It helps to add new flavor to that dialogue.”

Widely regarded as one of the most diverse cities in the US, it’s hard to imagine “intellectual inbreeding” being a problem in San Jose, whose racial, ethnic and economic variety make it one of the most culturally rich cities in the world. Rather, the figures show that consistently over the past 30 years, the city did not prioritize hiring local creators—even as those artists increasingly struggled to keep up with Silicon Valley’s notoriously ascendant cost of living.

“If you think about the greatest cities in the world, New Orleans would never go out and get a musician from across the globe to represent their city,” says Demone Carter, a San Jose rapper,

podcaster and artistic impresario. “It would seem ridiculous.”

As the head of the Multicultural Arts Leadership Institute (MALI), Carter is deeply ingrained in the South Bay arts scene. Through MALI, he’s made an effort to support the city’s multifarious art world, championing the work of local creators, from painters and pianists to folklorico dancers and DJs. “I know that public art can be a complicated process,” he says, “but I really believe strongly that we do already have world class talent here in San Jose, and we have some work to do in how we support that talent.”

If the goal of art is to reveal, then what the city’s collection shows is that local artists have been underhired, and underpaid, for at least a generation.

a neoclassical city landmark and one of the original grand dames of West Coast retail shopping. Later, as the post-WWII suburbanization of America began to cannibalize the landscape, so did suburban shopping malls, which were often anchored by huge department stores like the Emporium and its famous Big E branding scheme.

Everyone knew that ‘E.’ As The Emporium continued to expand in the late ’60s, it built Almaden Fashion Plaza on several dozen acres of land at Blossom Hill Road and Almaden Expressway, which was then surrounded by orchards and not much else. By the late ’70s, the plaza had 52 tenants and parking spaces for 2,573 cars. In particular, this columnist grew up inside Waldenbooks and Reik’s Music, a locally owned instrument retailer.

Unfortunately, The Emporium was bought out in the mid-’90s, right as Highway 85 began to emerge. Costco then opened across the parking lot, practically saving the whole complex from sheer desolation. What used to be The Emporium building is now Bed, Bath & Beyond, Diddums and buybuy BABY, although it still looks relatively similar on the outside.

Almaden Fashion Plaza was shortened to just Almaden Plaza decades ago, yet many still call it by the original name. These days, the interior open-air part of the complex looks almost exactly the same as it did 40 years ago. The same cream-colored cement trappings remain. The same brickwork patterns appear in the walkways. If you know where to look, you can see the label scar where the original Big E used to be.

Thanks to Ted Ramos, that E now is saved at History San Jose, awaiting its next reincarnation. With the recent heroic restoration of the Stephens Meat Products dancing pig sign, as well as the return of the OSH sign, maybe someone can hatch a scheme to do something.

“I’ve always had an interest in neon signs ever since I was a kid,” Ramos said, adding that the Neon Museum in Las Vegas helped inspire him to contribute what he could locally.

“When I saw all these neon signs in San Jose, I was saying, ‘I wish they had something to preserve these things.’ And then when I saw the San Jose Signs Project, I was like, ‘Oh, awesome. I’m not the only one.’”

NE DAY TED Ramos was traveling south down Monterey Road—the Champs-Elysees of San Jose’s underbelly—when he spotted a faded masterpiece wasting away in a storage yard near the intersection of Live Oak Road.

At first, he thought he’d seen the “Big W,” as in the film, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, but upon closer inspection, it was the “Big

E” from The Emporium, the longdefunct department store at Almaden Fashion Plaza. Someone had saved the ‘E’ after the Emporium chain went out of business in 1996. The sign was rusty, some of the plexiglass was cracked and pieces were missing, but it was recognizable. And salvageable.

“When I looked through the little broken pieces, I could still see the neon tubing inside,” said Ramos. “I was able to get a real close look at it because it was leaning up against the chain link fence from the other

side. ... It looked like it had been weathered. ... But I was surprised that a lot of the plastic covering was still there. I figured that that would be all broken off, so it was a good thing to see.”

His timing was perfect. Ramos’ discovery of the Big E occurred soon after Heather David helped launch the San Jose Signs Project to preserve our celebrated mid-century signage, as other reputable grown-up cities across North America have similarly done. Ramos contacted David, who in turn relayed him to the epic storage facilities at History San Jose, where the Big E now sits, waiting for the next stage of restoration.

“I was willing to rent a truck myself if I had to, to get that thing transported over to History San Jose,” Ramos said. “Because at that time, I wanted that thing saved.”

The Emporium chain started in San Francisco in 1896. The flagship store on Market Street was

SHIFTING COLOR As murals and public art spread throughout San Jose, gentrification displaces the local artists who helped make the area attractive

BY NICK VERONIN & MIKE HUGUENOR

J

UAN CARLOS ARAUJO makes no bones about it.

“I gentrified Japantown.”

It’s a hot Thursday afternoon and the founder and artistic director of Empire Seven Studios is sitting in a folding camping chair taking a break from the mural he is helping a Los Angeles-based duo known as The Draculas to paint on the side of the failed Redevelopmentera Pavilion shopping center in downtown San Jose.

Covering approximately 9,360 square feet, the mural features a figure skater mid-twirl, a singer, an accordion player and the words “San Jose,” it is the latest piece of public artwork to go up downtown. Just three weeks ago, on Aug. 1, Araujo helped unveil “Bleed Teal,” the new mural overlooking the parking lot of the Whole Foods Market on The Alameda.

Depicting a giant, transparent shark, the project was completed in partnership with the San Jose Sharks and Mill Creek, the apartment developer responsible for the tony Modera complex next to the upscale grocer. The piece was brokered

by Araujo and completed by an Austrian-born, Los Angeles-based graffiti artist who goes by Nychos. It

is a tribute to the home team and a valuable placemaking asset for both Whole Foods and Modera.

There is certainly some irony here.

Before he relocated to L.A., Nychos was making a living as an artist in the Bay Area. He ultimately moved south in search of cheaper rent.

Similarly, Araujo is also planning a move now that Empire Seven Studios is no more. After more than 10 years at the corner of Empire and Seventh streets in Japantown, a residential development firm called TriForge Capital Partners bought the ground out from under Araujo’s leased warehouse space in the North San Jose neighborhood. Araujo is working to open a new gallery just south of downtown.

It took some time to process, but Araujo says he is at peace with it now. He knows he isn’t the only one struggling to make it as a working artist in Silicon Valley, and as the wall of the Pavilion Garage slowly fills with color, he grins ear to ear.

“I’m fucking lucky to be where I’m at,” he says.

Araujo’s story is a familiar one.

Scrappy local artists work with the tools at their disposal and uplift their neighborhood in the process. With or without permission, they paint

blank walls. Once-empty warehouses become galleries and venues for live music. Dive bars gain a reputation as hip hangouts. Rents steadily rise with the price of PBR tall cans. By the time a craft brewery opens a taproom or a boutique yoga studio gains its footing, the writing is on the wall— and there is plenty of that all over San Jose these days.

The problem is, the people who began painting all those dull facades in the first place can’t afford to live here anymore. Furthermore, there is a belief among many locals that the city of San Jose and adjacent organizations that endeavor to highlight the city’s culture are out of touch—favoring out-of-town artists over natives and playing favorites with those who have learned to navigate local bureaucracy.

The numbers, insofar as they are publically available, support the critics. Looking back through the city’s official database of public art projects, it appears that only 15 percent have been created by locals and that locals were paid less on average than out-of-towners for their work (see page 6 for that story).

A SEAT AT THE TABLE Often inane and always ephemeral, a truly dank meme nevertheless has a way of zeroing in on the zeitgeist—of getting to the pith of it all with just a few keystrokes and a choice image.

Currently making the rounds online, the “Where Y’all Sitting” meme was recently deployed by the San Jose natives in Archive408, a digital documentarian collective whose work focuses on erasure in a rapidly changing San Jose. Their version of the meme sums up popular perceptions of how the power brokers of the South Bay’s public art scene operate.

The meme works like so: A cartoon illustration of a high school cafeteria is the canvas. Tables throughout the dining hall are assigned text or pictures. Often, the groupings are meant to capture the essence of an archetypal clique. Pop music might sit next to hip-hop, which sits next to heavy metal, and so on.

In the Archive408 take, all of the tables save one are populated with the same four groups: The Knight Foundation, Content Magazine, the San Jose Downtown Association and

Garden at the Flea. One small table in the corner offers up three more targets: Burning Man artists, tech transplants and “the same 3 ‘local’ artists who get all the $$$.”

Above it all there is a caption: “One Idea for a San Jose version of the Where Are You Sitting meme.”

For those less familiar with the convoluted system of municipalities, philanthropic organizations and nonprofits, which work together to pay artists to paint murals and erect sculptures in public places, here’s a quick rundown of who these players are and why they may have made this list:

14

• The Knight Foundation, through its Knight Cities program, provides grants to local arts groups. Victoria Rogers, vice president for arts for Knight, says her organization funds art because it is essential for a healthy democracy. “It is the power of art to connect us to each other and to place,” she says. “The power of art to get us to question our beliefs and our opinions and to see ourselves in the other.”

However, off the record, a number of individuals interviewed for this story criticized the foundation for playing favorites—catering to individuals who are white or present as white, come from wealthier families, and have a firm grasp on the bureaucratic and buzzy language of grant-speak.

AD SIZE:

• Content Magazine was founded as an independent publication focused on the local arts community; however, today the cultural cheerleader is the recipient of more than $75,000 in city grants since being absorbed into the publicly funded non-profit SVCreates three years ago. In addition to the $25,000 in annual taxpayer dollars that Content receives, SVCreates channels $20,000 a year from San Jose’s Office of Cultural Affairs into a workshop series that trains artists in marketing, cultural equity and PUB DATE: 00/00/15 financial literacy.

DESIGNER: NAME HERE

• The Downtown Association is responsible for the likes of Music ISSUE NUMBER: Metro Silicon Valley 15XX and Downtown Ice, in the Park 380 South First St. San Jose, CA 95113 | 408.298.8000 among other regular events.

• And the Garden at the Flea,

opened earlier this year, is perhaps most easily summed up as a hipster addition to the San Jose Flea Market; created in partnership with Public Space Authority, a local “placemaking” firm founded by the creators of San Jose Made and Moveable Feast, the Garden aims to draw millennials back to the Flea and to capitalize on the soonto-be-completed BART terminal at the Berryessa Transit Center.

• Then there’s that table off in the corner. Over the past couple years, a program spearheaded by Kerry Adams Hapner, director of the city’s cultural affairs division, has directed taxpayer money to bring large art installations first unveiled at Burning Man to downtown public spaces. The annual festival held in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert has of late become shorthand for a very specific kind of techie—so oblivious to their own privilege that they would claim that a trip to the Burn is evidence of their gumption and tenacity, when it is, in truth, little more than a display of their impressive collection of expensive camping gear and their generous vacation package.

• As for those three artists—the ones getting all the money from organizations like the Knight Foundation—one might make an educated guess.

PLAYING THE GAME Headed by Erin Salazar, Ellina M. Yin and Haley Cardamon, Local Color bills itself as “a womanowned and operated arts non-profit organization,” which advocates for the local “creative community of artists, producers and entrepreneurs.”

Salazar founded Local Color, then called the Exhibition District, in 2015.

Over the course of her time running the organization, Salazar and her team have gone from drawing the ire of city officials by painting murals— without authorization—on boarded up downtown buildings, to building a touchy but respectful relationship with downtown developers through projects like the Local Color artists’ collective, which turned the abandoned Ross Dress for Less into

17

a performing arts venue and studio space, to becoming the apparent target of online missives like the aforementioned San Jose edition of the Where Y’all Sitting? meme.

As with Araujo, the irony is not lost on Salazar. She knows she’s made compromises as she’s worked to grow Local Color. She has also given dozens of artists a low-rent space to hone their craft on their own terms and paid many of the same local artists to show off their abilities to the entire city.

She’s done this by playing the game, so to speak, and honing a different kind of craft—grant writing.

And she’s proud of that.

“We think that the intentional and proactive integration of arts into development cycles is what’s going to maintain our culture and our creatives here in San Jose,” Salazar says, drawing on the kind of polished language that has undoubtedly helped sell organizations like the Knight Foundation and property owners like Valley Title on her projects.

Earlier this summer, Knight announced that Local Color was one of seven nonprofit arts groups around the country to be awarded $150,000 to pursue projects aimed at transforming their communities.

At the beginning of the year, Local Color convinced Valley Title to allow 100 artists to take paintbrushes and spray cans to the side of its office building 300 S. First St. The “100 Block” project, as it was called, is just one public art project Valley Title

hosted. The building is also home to a four-story-tall mural by How and Nosm, which went up as part of last year’s Pow! Wow! San Jose public art festival. That effort was organized, in large part, by Empire Seven Studios.

“If we don’t play with them now, why would we ever expect them to listen to us afterward?” Salazar says.

“And why would we want to be an afterthought?”

SING IT It seems that San Jose’s vibrant music scene may have been an afterthought to Team San Jose.

On June 12 at 8:50pm, the official Twitter account of TSJ fired off a tweet, which sent the local arts community into a frenzy.

“Meet Grace Kelly,” the post began, “a 16-year-old singer-songwriter from Auckland, NZ. She first came to San Jose when she was 8 years old and fell in love with the city.”

The linked music video, to a song titled “San Jose,” was intended to introduce the city to the outside world.

TSJ serves as “the official destination marketing organization,” promoting San Jose as a destination for business conferences and family vacations, as well as managing performing arts and convention facilities.

So far as tourism board commercials go, “San Jose” was pretty standard. Kelly strums her acoustic guitar on a hill high above

the Santa Clara Valley, laughs with a cohort of shiny, happy extras while e-scooting around town and even works in a reference to Willow Glen and the VTA light rail. Other B-roll includes shots of the Tommie Smith and John Carlos statue at San Jose State University, the “Little Moment” mural in Japantown and a Latino band performing at the Flea Market.

For many in the city’s arts community, the video was a flashpoint. “Why, oh why @ VisitSanJose?” came one reply. “This was such a missed opportunity to feature a local musician who truly knows the city and represents the diversity and culture of #SanJose.”

“Embarrassing,” wrote another.

A third user called out the overwhelming whiteness of the video, declaring it a “misrepresentation of the city as a whole.”

Assemblyman Ash Kalra (D-San Jose) even entered the fray, pointing out that only a few years ago Rey Resurreccion released “The Hometown.” Resurreccion’s paean to San Jose stands as one of the best songs ever written about this city.

Supported by DJ Cutso’s triumphant banda-sampling beat, Resurreccion name-checks Music in the Park, pho, tacos and many more cultural touchstones San Jose denizens will recognize as genuine. “There are SJ natives who represent our city just fine,” Kalra wrote.

BACKLASH The backlash was not limited to Twitter. Local non-profit MALI (the Multicultural Arts Leadership Institute) published an open letter to Team San Jose. Choosing Kelly over a local artist made it “apparent that Team San Jose is not interested in celebrating its own homegrown talent and vibrancy,” the letter stated, adding that MALI and its constituent members “took exception to the notion that, in order to promote San Jose, we need to outsource musical talent and creative production.”

“It was a slap in the face for everybody who had worked so hard in so many different ways to make San Jose,” says Salazar, one of many prominent local members of the city’s arts community who signed the letter in solidarity. “It set us back as a city.”

Demone Carter is the senior program manager at the School of Arts and Culture at San Jose’s Mexican Heritage Plaza. He also manages the MALI, a program of the School of Arts and Culture. While it’s true that Team San Jose’s main goal is to get heads in beds and fill the McEnery Convention Center with business conferences and tourists checking out expositions, Carter says TSJ’s marketing materials matter in other ways.

“There is a conversation going on both in the national and local arts sector about how to have more diversity, equity and inclusion, and that’s great. But the fact is resources (i.e. grant funding) are not being distributed equitably,” Carter wrote in a statement. “Communities of color are only seeing a fraction of available dollars. What this means is our stories and cultures are not being held up in the same way. In a time when racism and xenophobia are raining down from the highest levels of government, it is crucial for a sector that claims to be progressive to put its money where its mouth is. My work with the Multicultural Arts Leadership Institute is all about pushing for equity in Silicon Valley’s arts ecosystem.”

In other words, as the city’s official marketing agency, Team San Jose is responsible for how the world views San Jose. And if they are going to be broadcasting that message, they ought to reaching out to local artists before they look elsewhere.

DISPLACEMENT South Bay native Amine Rastgar, who recently relocated from San Jose to Sacramento, is another artistic casualty of Silicon Valley’s rising cost of living.

“I don’t think I would have been able to even get a one-bedroom or a studio apartment by myself ” in San Jose, he says. “I don’t work at Google.

I don’t work at Apple. I don’t work at any of those places.”

Rastgar’s art is playfully surreal, like a cartoon dream sequence. Earlier this year, he took part in Local Color’s “100 Block” mural project. His piece depicts a potted plant, which has

sprouted eyeballs and drips smiling water droplets onto the street. As part of Pow! Wow! San Jose, Rastgar painted a large mural on Empire Street, between Sixth and Seventh streets. In it, a pink elephant spraypaints the night sky as a bug-eyed skull shoots lasers from its eyesocket—at least, it did show that until the building was knocked down earlier this year by developers.

Rastgar sees a fundamental disconnect between San Jose’s artists, teachers and service workers, and the industry which is driving up the rent for all of them.

The way Ragstar views it, while the work he and so many other artists have done may serve as eye candy in a glossy brochure for the latest luxury apartment development, the tenants that developers are attracting aren’t engaging in the local scene in any meaningful way.

“The people that move here to take these jobs and homes and space, they’re not really spending money on stuff like art,” he says. “They don’t really consume the culture, and don’t really care too much. Some do—I don’t want to sound cynical—but for the majority, they really don’t.”

A NEW HOME For his part, Araujo can relate to Ragstar. “I lost everything,” he says.

However, for the Empire Seven founder, there is a silver lining to his displacement. The developers who will eventually build another housing development on the parcel where E7 once stood reached out to Araujo not long after purchasing the land. And he is now working with them to curate a permanent art space within the development, which TriForge plans to name Empire Seven Apartments in honor of Araujo’s legacy.

He was initially skeptical and hesitant to engage.

As the child of a single mother, Araujo has had to fight for credibility.

He started working at age 9, helping out a vendor at the San Jose Flea Market long before anyone thought to place a beer garden on the grounds.

As he grew older, he fell in with the graffiti crowd, which only served to solidify his anti-authoritarian instincts.

In 2007, he opened Empire Seven Studios—in his words, “a punk rock

space”—building out a run-down warehouse next to a used tire lot. He organized highly successful shows and brought world-class artists to San Jose. His DIY sensibilities were further entrenched after fellowships turned down his proposals.

And so he did what he knew how to do and brought Pow! Wow! to San Jose. Over the course of a single week in October 2017, the artists in town for the festival completed 12 murals.

The following year, in 2018, another crop of painters completed 18.

Yet while his independent streak has served him well over the years, Araujo says he is working to be more open to collaborations with organizations he had previously siloed himself off from.

“I’ve stopped denying people the time of day,” he says. “I’ve learned to take the call, to take the meeting, to stop being so closed off.”

He is still wary of the official public art power brokers in Silicon Valley.

“Getting funding feels like pulling teeth here,” he says. “You have to constantly convince somebody that you are worthy of their philanthropy.”

That said, he’s definitely trying to be more open to everyone working on San Jose’s public art scene. Looking at the “Where Y’All Sitting” meme, he just shakes his head and sighs.

“We shouldn’t be so competitive,” he says.

In the coming months, Araujo plans to open a new gallery space—just across SeconSecond Street from Notre Dame High School in a small, groundlevel mixed-use space that is part of the Metro Walk Apartments complex.

The new location is in a rapidly gentrifying part of town, just around the corner from the underconstruction Sparq development, The Pierce apartments and a pair of recently opened taprooms.

When asked whether he worries about getting pushed or priced out of the new gallery at some point, Araujo says no. The way he looks at it, his only job is to continue bringing highquality art to his hometown.

“I just want to make sure that I love what I’m doing, and to make sure that it’s really genuine and authentic to us.”

The original Broadway production in 1982 racked up five Tonys including best musical, and the 2003 reboot got the nod for best revival. As was Fellini’s wont, the show is a surreal celebration of women that takes a hard look at the cost of following your creative vision at the expense of your personal relationships.

Jesus Christ Superstar OCT. 22-27 Along with Steely Dan and Beatles albums, the soundtrack of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s rock opera also hung out in my older brother’s record collection. Decades later, I still pretend that Yvonne Elliman is singing “Everything’s Alright” to me when I can’t fall asleep: “Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to/ problems that upset you, oh./Don't you know/everything’s alright, yes, everything’s alright, yes.” It’s such a comforting song that you almost believe that Mary Magdalene will be the one to save her savior.

Blue Man Group NOV. 1-3 Men wrapped in blue second skins, like The Watchmen’s Doctor Manhattan, will soon be looking at San Jose audiences with their disconcerting wide-eyed stares. Mere words don’t seem up to the task of describing the Blue Man Group’s “Speechless” tour, but you can’t mime in print. First, a disclaimer for introverts.

You should know that this show includes “large-scale audience participation.” My guess is that “fostering communal moments” means: Plan on playing a tube-based musical instrument. To sum it all up, your days as a passive spectator are at an end!

Miss Saigon NOV. 12-17 Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil’s musical transports Madame Butterfly from turn-of-the-20th-century Japan to the Vietnam War. The sound of helicopters haunts the stage. Will the American soldier do right by the woman he meets or will their wartime love affair end in tragedy? Odds are the whole thing will end in tears.

DeLappe shows how the rowdy individuals on the team bond and bicker as they morph into a cohesive pack.

Most of the action happens in a neighborhood bar where the community comes together, and where it also starts to disintegrate. Better than an economist’s assessment of the era, Nottage’s writing feels as authentic as documentarian’s film.

music The Wood Brothers and Colter Wall AUG. 22 San Jose Civic | sanjosetheaters.org The folk duo of Chris and Oliver Wood comes from a family immersed in Americana musical traditions. But the Woods Brothers’ version of Americana isn’t all twang; it’s an allencompassing style that draws from many American forms: blues, r&b, soul and jazz included. To date they’ve released six albums of original material, a covers collection and four live sets. Their current tour finds them teaming up for a co-headlining spot with Canadian singer-songwriter Colter Wall, an artist with a similarly rich and eclectic musical foundation.

A member of the Highwaymen supergroup, he collaborated with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.

By the ’70s he was fronting soul/r&b bands in Minneapolis. These days he has a monthly residency at St. Paul'sMinnesota Music Café.

The Chicago-based group led by guitarist Billy Corgan ended its first run in 2000, but last year Corgan and two original members (guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin) got back together. The reunited lineup released its 10th album, Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun last November.

Sonido Clash Music Fest SEPT. 1 School of Arts & Culture @MHP sonidoclash.com For the fourth straight year, Sonido Clash goes deep into the emerging sounds of Latinx alternative music with about two dozen acts from across the diaspora on four stages, as well as live poetry, a panel discussion, a car show, a dance workshop and tons of other stuff.

Headlining this year is the Puerto Rico-born duo Nina Sky (remember the 2004 hit Move Ya Body?). Also on the slate are dream-pop artist Katzu Oso, DJ/producer Dave Nada, Chicano visual artist El Oms, Madrid-based reggaeton/ dance artist Ms. Nina, the GaGa-esque queer ranchera singer San Cha, and many others. Too much pleasure in one place and time. It’s all at San Jose’s beautiful Mexican Heritage Plaza.

The National SEPT. 1 Frost Amphitheater at Stanford University live.stanford.edu Since emerging from New York back at the turn of the millennium, The National has become both an indie-rock powerhouse and a jumping-off point for a lot of other projects, from political activism to avant-garde performance (Who can forget the band playing one song for six hours?). The National is touring to wave the flag for its newly released eighth album I Am Easy To Find. This show, however, may have quite a contingent there primarily to see the opening act, the winsome Canadian indie pop band Alvvays, presenting a dilemma for fans: which tour T-shirt to buy?

Back in the day, the mystique of the duo Donald Fagen and Walter Becker was that they were much more comfortable making records with all their super-cool musician friends than putting on shows—and what awesome records they were. All that’s changed now. Since Becker’s death in 2017, Fagen has endured with a live act that will often perform many of Steely Dan’s landmark albums—Pretzel Logic, Aja, Gaucho, etc.—from start to finish.

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan OCT. 5 Event Center, San Jose State University sanjose.eventful.com Anyone looking to take a deep dive into the ethereal and mind-expanding vibe of Pakistani devotional music, known as Qawwali, should not waste time and instead go directly to Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. The 45-year-old singer is part of the first family of Qawwali, as the nephew to the form’s modern master, the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. (His father and grandfather were also revered Qawwali singers). The genre dates back close to 700 years and features spiritual music and poetry, often sung in Urdu or Persian, and is still part of Sufi mystical practice today.

Iron & Wine + Calexico OCT. 6 Mountain Winery, Saratoga mountainwinery.com It would be stretching it to call them a supergroup, but the adventurous roots-

rock duo Calexico and the neo-folk singer/ songwriter Sam Beam, who performs under the moniker Iron & Wine, have combined forces in a stunning new recording called Years to Burn. Beam and Calexico’s Joey Burns and John Covertino first began playing together almost 15 years ago when they made a record called In the Reins. But the new album represents a deeper commitment to the collaboration, combining Calexico’s cinematic mood setting and Iron & Wine’s delicate vocal harmonies. What you have left is something that might surprise fans of both.

deadmau5: cube V3 tour OCT. 11-12 San Jose Civic | sanjosetheaters.org Nobody does enormous on-stage multimedia cube structures quite like deadmau5 (aka Joel Zimmerman), the brilliant Canadian DJ and mouse-ear aficionado. Zimmerman has been performing with his giant cube for close to a decade, but this year he’s unveiling “Cube V3,” the latest iteration of his mind-blowing stage show. According to tour scuttlebutt, the new cube—which weighs about 7,000 lbs.—is much more flexible in how it rotates on stage, all to deliver the visual stimulation equal to deadmau5’s audio output. The cube requires a crew of roughly 40 people and eight to 12 hours to build at every venue. Love him or not, there’s no arguing deadmau5 is a committed showman who wants to make sure his fans get their money’s worth. And San Jose fans get two nights!

Between them, Cuban pianist and bandleader Chucho Valdes and his late father Bebo account for an incalculable influence in the realm of modern Afro-Cuban jazz. Bebo Valdes was, of course, one of the most high-profile bandleaders during the Golden Age of Cuban music. Bebo fled from Cuba in 1960, leaving behind his son. Later, Chucho not only founded the Cuban supergroup Irakere, but he became an international superstar on the Blue Note label. At 77, he’s still pushing boundaries— in recent months, Chucho has turned his attention to honoring his father on the 100th anniversary of his birth.

Three Dog Night OCT. 24 Fox Theater, Redwood City | foxrwc.com For the record, “three dog night” is an Australian camping term, to indicate a night so cold it requires sleeping with three dogs to stay warm. What that has to do with the L.A. rock band of the same name is unclear.

But back in the early ’70s, Three Dog Night dominated the pop charts with a seemingly endless string of singable, faintly R&Bflavored hits, including Harry Nilsson’s “One,” Hoyt Axton’s “Joy to the World” and Randy Newman’s “Mama Told Me Not to Come.”

It must be a mixed bag to land a gig as a latenight-TV bandleader. On one hand, it’s an elite club, a sweet paycheck and a chance to connect with a potentially huge audience. On the other, you’re never allowed to show what you can really do. Fans of Late Night with Stephen Colbert will easily recognize Batiste, who fronts the Colbert house band. They may not know that Batiste has been part of the next generation of musicians steeped in the rich culture of New Orleans jazz and R&B. His 2018 record Hollywood Africans is a good place to start.

Caifanes NOV. 10 San Jose Civic | sanjosetheaters.org North of the Rio Grande, even after 30-plus years together, Caifanes is still only well known to a cult-like rock-en-Español audience. But in their native Mexico, the band ranks among alt-rock’s greatest acts, combining ambitious themes of progressive rock and grand U2-style melodies with Latin rhythms and Spanish lyrics.

The band’s heyday was back in the early ’90s, but Caifanes—still fronted by the charismatic vocalist Saul Hernandez—is back with their first new recording in 25 years, Heridos.

The Waltz King captures 19th-century Vienna in all its glory and vice. Premiering in 1851, this is one of Strauss’ most renowned operettas. In order to get back at Eisenstein for a practical joke, Falke develops a masterful plan of playful vengeance—with plenty of twists and turns along the way.

An All Hallow’s Eve that’s a little more Tschaikovsky than Monster Mash, this ball crawls with spooky figures, including characters from Swan Lake and plenty of food and drink. A prize will be awarded for the most original and inspiring costume, and New Ballet performs a little something for the occasion—in between all the other boogiewoogie, of course.

Hansel and Gretel NOV. 16-DEC. 1 It all starts with two siblings who want a snack—and who wouldn’t go inside that gingerbread house?

By Richard von Busack

T

HEY SHOULD CREATE an algorithm with the power to predict nostalgia cycles. That way, film producers would know what year would be popular with an audience in the near future, and plan accordingly.

We’re in a deep ’70s-’80s cycle now, unaffected by the box office failure of the 1970s set The Kitchen. The fall season includes nostalgia for the funk of Harlem and the squalor of Gotham.

The studly Rudy Ray Moore (19272008) was an avatar of rap: “I was through with it before they knew what to do with it!’” A maker of XXX comedy records, the rhymester Moore was the creator of the indomitable and cross-platforming Dolemite, in several outlandishly euphoric LPs and blacksploitation movies. His Dolemite possesses unquenchable mojo: “Mule kicked me and didn’t bruise my hide/a rattlesnake bite me and crawled off and died!” Moore was profiled by San Jose-raised documentarian Ross Guidici in The Legend of Dolemite: Bigger and Badder (2003); the upcoming DOLEMITE IS MY NAME, with Eddie Murphy as Moore (September, Netflix) looks like a hit.

(Prepare for it by watching Moore’s sauteeing of The Exorcist, 1977’s Petey Wheatstraw, the Devil’s Son in Law).

A far more menacing entertainer turns up in JOKER (Oct. 4). Expect some sympathy for a comic book devil, with Joaquin Phoenix starring as just one more mama’s boy who gets the mark of Gotham branded into him. The previews show an urban hellhole as bad as New York at its worst in the ’70s. From The Hangover 3, we learned that Joker director Todd Phillips’ idea of a joke is a giraffe getting decapitated, so there should be authentic darkness in this story of a man who laughs last.

Similarly, there’ll be more merry pranks from that jolly Pennywise the Dancing Clown, as IT, CHAPTER 2

JOJO RABBIT is the story of a little Nazi boy upset to learn that his mom is hiding a Jewish girl in the attic; that’s when he turns to advice from his imaginary pal Der Fuhrer (played by Taika Waititi, who directs).

all grown up, with a headful of demons and a taste for booze, just like dear old dad; the precariously sober telepath has gone to work in a New England hospice—a fine place to be besieged by angry ghosts.

DON’T LET GO (Aug. 30) has Selma’s David Oyelowo as a police detective who gets a phone call from the past— from his murdered niece; together they try to stop the crime before it occurs.

AD ASTRA (Sep. 20) and LUCY IN THE SKY (Oct. 4) have thematic similarities: catastrophic space

journeys that leave more questions than answers. Brad Pitt in Ad Astra heads to Neptune to find out what happened to his astronaut father—it seems to be some kind of Heart of Darkness in Space situation. Alienated by her space travels, the title’s Lucy (Natalie Portman) has serious trouble adjusting to Earth. And later this year, Amazon Prime drops season four of the densest space TV series ever, THE EXPANSE (Dec. 13).

upon DOWNTON ABBEY (Sep. 12) the film spin-off of the gun-blazing, two-fisted TV series. PAIN AND GLORY (October) by Pedro Almodovar is a semi-autobiographical film about a director’s decline in health and skills; Antonio Banderas stars. KNIVES OUT (Nov. 27) is Rian (The Last Jedi) Johnson’s emulation of Agatha Christie, with a group of murderous, dissembling family members getting grilled by a detective (Daniel Craig).

WHERE IS MY ROY COHN? (Oct. 16)— the title comes from a bleat Donald Trump made when facing legal action—is a documentary about the phenomenally evil New York lawyer. Cohn started his career as one of Sen. Joe McCarthy’s hatchetmen and ended up as a mouthpiece for the Mafia … and Trump. Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) would have admired Cohn; Jolie once again dons the horns for MALEFICENT 2 (Oct. 18). Not evil, just mysterious and ookie: the animated ADDAMS FAMILY (Oct. 11) with Oscar Isaacs and Charlize Theron

voicing Gomez and Morticia, and Snoop Dogg as the voice of It. Fall film series include a program of revived epics at the Pruneyard Cinema (see page 48). First, the 10th SILICON VALLEY AFRICAN FILM FESTIVAL (Oct. 4-6), and then the 27th SILICON VALLEY JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL (Oct. 27-Nov. 17). One of the best documentary festivals in the world—that’s UNAFF , running at various South Bay locations Oct. 17-27.

UNAFF 2019’s schedule hasn’t been announced, but the theme is “Scales of Justice.” One special screening Nov. 11 is a reprise of WELCOME TO NORTH KOREA (2011), a revelatory documentary about that walledoff country, as seen by a group of Czech tourists who were expressly warned not to photograph the place.

Being Czech, they smiled, nodded respectfully to authority, and did it anyway. Here’s to disobedience as an essential element of cinema.

Apocalypse Now (1976) the version Copolla is claiming as a final cut, as opposed to the longer version that played the late lamented Century 21 dome in 2001—plays Aug 23, 24 and 29. In any cut, the film is a grand and problematic epic, served up with Vietnamese cuisine for all three screenings. Martin Sheen is Willard, the standard poetic film noir detective type, a soldier sent by the brass to the jungle to terminate an officer who has gone rogue. As Colonel Kurtz, Marlon Brando’s performance mirrors the movie, which features the best and worst of ’70s filmmaking. Brando had gone Dadaist long before Apocalypse Now. Here his lunatic Kurtz slurs, “The only real freedom is freedom from the opinions of others, even freedom

from the opinion of yourself ”—his acting summed up in one sentence.

The truest moment in Apocalypse Now Redux is a beginning that could stir up the savage in any man: The Doors’ John Densmore’s hissing cymbals, the palm trees immolating silently as Jim Morrison intones, “This is the end,” until all disintegrates into sulfur-colored dust, stirred by the choppers circling like buzzards.

Another mad colonel is the subject of Lawrence of Arabia (1962) (Aug 24 and 29, and on the 27th with a prix fixe admission and dinner of chicken shawarma and hummus plate). David Lean’s epic defies the small screen, in its story of how the Brits carved up the Arab lands, thanks to the intelligence and daring of Colonel Lawrence (Peter O’Toole); I’ll be there to introduce it.

Titanic (1997) plays Aug 25; enjoy, I’m not a fan. Much more like it is 1939’s Gone With the Wind (Aug 23 and 28 with an Aug 26 meal/show package including barbecue from Twelve Oaks BBQ). It’s color-coded: Scarlett meets Rhett (Red). It was a hit because of its allegorical North/South romance in the Civil War. Clark Gable’s Rhett may be from Charleston but he talks like he’s from Chicago, and Southern women ever since emulate Vivien Leigh’s vixen Scarlett: “A woman must have everything.” Everything, especially a large screen to play upon.

FRANZ FRAME Author Jonathan Franzen comes to the Hammer Theatre Center next month.

T

HE CENTER FOR Literary Arts at San Jose State University, as well as indie bookstore faves like Kepler’s and Books Inc. will showcase some amazing local and internationally renowned events throughout the fall season. Here are a few noteworthy evenings not to be missed.

Jonathan Franzen SEP. 20 Hammer Theatre | hammertheatre.com The Center for Literary Arts at SJSU opens its 2019-20 season with legendary author and National Book Award winner Jonathan Franzen at Hammer Theatre. The event celebrates the launch of Reed Magazine: Issue 152, the university’s acclaimed literary

51

journal, and will feature readings by several contributors before Franzen takes the stage.

Following the reading, a VIP reception will unfold on the rooftop terrace, including a book sale and signing.

Anita Felicelli SEP. 26 Books Inc. Palo Alto | booksinc.net/PaloAlto Palo Alto author Anita Felicelli graduated from the Berkeley School of Law. After writing an award-winning debut collection of short stories, Love Songs for a Lost Continent, her new satirical novel Chimerica takes place in a fictional country of the same name, where down-and-out Tamil American trial lawyer Maya Ramesh fights to save a painted lemur that has come to life.

Barry Eisler SEP. 26 Kepler’s Books, Menlo Park | www.keplers.com Best-selling author Barry Eisler exploded onto the international literary scene via his wildly successful John Rain series about a half-Eastern, half-Western assassin. Nowadays, Eisler makes just as many waves with his series about Livia Lone, a sex-crimes detective turned martial arts expert. Eisler lives in Menlo Park and stages all of his book launches at Kepler’s.

Naomi Klein SEP. 27 San Mateo Performing Arts Center smuhsd.theater/smpac A must for any environmental advocate, Kepler’s Literary Foundation will present

award-winning journalist and No. 1 International and New York Times bestselling author Naomi Klein, whose soaring new book of essays, On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal, makes an urgent case for radical transformation on all levels.

Carmen Maria Machado

Reading & Conversation with Linda Castillo OCT. 24 MACLA, San Jose | maclaarte.org Carmen Maria Machado exploded onto the literary landscape with her debut collection of short stories, Her Body and Other Parties, which won multiple awards and successfully demolished genre boundaries in portraying the ways that women can articulate their struggle for agency. The reading will be followed by an on-stage conversation with SJSU alum Linda Castillo, founder and executive editor of Modern Latina, plus an audience Q&A, book sale and signing.

Tyehimba Jess & Harmony Holiday NOV. 7 Forager, San Jose | sjforager.com The Center for Literary Arts at SJSU will bring poets Tyehimba Jess and Harmony Holiday to downtown San Jose’s SoFA District for a night of performance and conversation with Tshaka Campbell.

FRESH KICK Malaya serves a young mango slaw with spicy red chili, shrimp paste and plenty of lime.

The Crossroads Santa Clara restaurant, Malaya, capitalizes on the cultural fusion of the strip mall

BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

S

TRIP MALLS ARE the great equalizers when it comes to suburban dining. The upside is that they often contain multitudes.

Take, for instance, the Mercado Shopping Center in Santa Clara. There’s a Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, a Chinese chain, two burger joints, Starbucks and a pho restaurant. The downside is that in order to stay open, each business must appeal to a wide cross section of the population.

It’s surprising, then, that the

owners of Pedro’s Restaurant and Cantina opened Malaya, a Southeast Asian restaurant, as a replacement for their Mexicali Grill at the Mercado.

Malaysian food isn’t the first cuisine that springs to mind when one thinks of a fast, casual dining option at the local mall.

But Malaya isn’t in the business of fast food. I’d describe what the owners are experimenting with as “medium food.” The menu stays true to Malaysian cuisine in a carefully constructed and intelligent outline.

I recognized the names of familiar dishes but couldn’t always connect them to the flavors on the plate.

Ultimately, I deduced that Malaya

is an ambitious concept, as it aims to introduce roti and curry and rice plates as a new go-to dining experience. If Chili’s could find a place for Mexican food in every American suburb, then why not Malaya?

An explanatory note at the top of the menu not only addresses British colonialism in the region but also lists many of the other countries that have influenced modern Malaysian cuisine. This includes, but is not limited to, China, India and Thailand.

Kerabu mangga ($13) will be familiar to diners who’ve eaten Thai papaya salads. Like many of the other dishes on the menu, the sauce, or dressing, on the young mango slaw contains slivers of a spicy red chili, shrimp paste and plenty of lime. The mango is finely shredded and elegantly finished with peanuts, mint and cilantro leaves. We also drizzled a spoonful or two of a panang curry sauce over the slaw, which worked as a much-needed cooling agent.

The dipping sauce normally accompanies the roti jala ($7), a turmeric crepe that is fluffy and

bland but also good for dunking in the okra stew we ordered. Asam pedas okra ($14) is described as being “famous in the southern part of Malaysia.” I was hoping for a dish crowded with okra, like an Indian bhindi masala. But when I opened the steaming claypot, I could only divine sections of eggplant in a delicate tomato broth. At most, I found what amounted to two thinly sliced circles of okra. If it had been described as a tasty tomato soup, I wouldn’t have been as disappointed with the skimpy end result.

We shared a chicken dish, nasi ayam ($16), and salmon, ikan bakar ($18), for our main entrées. Keep in mind that when you order nasi ayam, the chicken is steamed. The texture is just like boiled chicken and it’s very soft or very tender, depending on your point of view.

When the rubbery chicken skin flopped onto the plate, I decided the dish would have worked better barbecued or fried. As for the salmon, it, too, was steamed (but in banana leaves) and also marinated overnight. Neither the marinade nor the banana leaves added much in the way of the flavor. Both dishes tasted like the first drafts of ideas that needed more time in the oven.

Steamed rice, white or brown, comes with several entrées.

Additionally, the restaurant offers sides of coconut rice ($4) and hainanese rice ($4), which is cooked in chicken broth. Malaya serves sticky rice too, but in a mangothemed dessert ($6) that’s built in layers. At the bottom, slices of mango laze in a bath of cold coconut milk. Sesame seeds top a quenelle of rice alongside a mango sorbet— bright orange in color—that rests in the center of the bowl. The mango slaw and dessert suggest that if the kitchen takes a little more time to refine the dishes, moving the notch down from medium to slow, Malaya and Chili’s could be friendly neighbors across the parking lots in the same American malls.

MESMERICA 360

SV PRIDE

*thu *fri SV PRIDE

MESMERICA 360

Thu-Sun, Various Times San Jose

Fri, 5:30pm, $12+ The Tech Interactive, San Jose

The South Bay’s official Pride celebration kicked off earlier this week with the raising of the LGBTQ flag at San Jose City Hall.

The party continues through the weekend with a variety of events—including a Trans and Friends Rally on Saturday and a night festival later that evening.

Also on the completely fabulous calendar is Drag me to the Show, a drag queen show sponsored by LaRuce Beauty and hosted by Coco Minaj that features four queens from Silicon Valley performing a series of musical numbers. More info on all the festivities can be found at svpride.com. (MS)

Visual stimulation, when paired with music, has been proven to help relieve stress. Embark on a quest through James Hood’s Mesmerica, a fully immersive experience that conjures up some of the dreamiest and surreal landscapes you’ve ever seen (that includes all you psychonauts out there). Combining vivid 3D imagery with captivating beats created

by Hood—a Grammy-nominated new age percussionist and composer—the show is meant to help viewers chill out as their minds wander. Each IMAX showing is an hour long. Running through Aug. 31, Mesmerica is familyfriendly, and children over the age of 6 are able to attend. (KA)

SUMMERTIME IN THE SQUARE Fri, 6pm, Free Evergreen Village Square, San Jose August is winding down, and those warm summer nights are getting fewer and farther between. Fortunately, you can always sip some vino if the wind picks up. San Jose sextet Touch ’N Go struts bouncy, funkalicious Motown grooves, slapping twangy bass lines reminiscent of the Seinfeld theme. After the sun settles below the horizon, settle down for a screening of The Secret Life of Pets, an animated family-friendly flick that chronicles the shenanigans and shadow world of animal companions living with their Manhattan-dwelling owners. (ER)

*sat

LIONEL RICHIE Sat, 6:30pm, $66+ Frost Amphitheater, Stanford He’s fronted The Commodores, served as an American Idol judge and been awarded Grammys, a Golden Globe and an Oscar.

Is there anything that Lionel Richie can’t do? The Alabamaborn singer has sold more than a million albums worldwide, solidifying his reputation as a true icon in the music industry.

Presented by Stanford Live and Goldenvoice, Richie will take to the stage to take attendees on an evening excursion through all of his biggest hits, such as “Stuck On You,” “Say You, Say Me” and, of course, “Hello.” (KA)

ITALIAN FAMILY FESTA Sat, 11am, Free History Park, San Jose

Bellissimo! Rolling into its 39th year, the Festa celebrates Italian culture with a weekend full of everything Italians do best—including food, wine and art. Watch marionettes swivel on stage, and stomp on some grapes as local artists show their creations at La Galleria Caprese and Mike Zampencini walks the grounds with his accordian. There will also be medieval sword fights and an archival exploration of the Valley of Heart’s Delight market, plus local author Caroline Cocciardi talks about her book on DaVinci, Leonardo’s Knots. Opera, blues, dance, classic Italian and a Frank Sinatra tribute are all lined up to set the musical mood. (ER)

The lowbellied, the legless, the shelled and scaled all have a special place at the San Jose Reptile Show. Both fanatics and newcomers are invited to gather among their slithering, tongueflicking friends. It’s a chance to get up close and personal with our reptilian and amphibian neighbors: bearded dragons, snakes, frogs, geckos, turtles, tortoises and more.

Mingle with breeders, rescue groups, artisans, herpetological societies and vendors who supply exotic pet needs like bugs and rodents… yum! The show runs through Sunday. (ER)

TOWER OF POWER

GROWTH

YOGA + BEER

Sun, 7:30pm $60.50+ Mountain Winery, Saratoga

Sun, 11am, Free Forager, San Jose

Sun, 11am, $20+ Hapa’s Brewing Company, San Jose

This Oakland-based band is known far and wide for its terrific horn section. Tower of Power has been bringing its unique brand of soulful, high-energy music to albums, audiences and collaborations for 50 years.

Like so many “legacy” acts of its generation, Tower of Power has seen many players come and go; more than 60 musicians have cycled through the group. But founding members Emilio Castillo (tenor saxophone) and Stephen “Doc” Kupka (baritone sax)—plus longtime bassist Rocco Prestia and drummer David Garibaldi—keep the flame burning. They’ll be joined by a modern-day collection of top-flight players. (BK)

From the community-building shops of SJMade and Empire in The Air—a San Jose apparel brand pledging empowerment and engagement through local events—“Growth” is a day to honor the Bay Area as a home that inspires, uplifting the craft of local vendors, artists and performers.

ChiChai, founder and art director of EITA, features her artwork: emotive and glowing figures. Bryant Sina’s psychedelic third-eye-sporting smiley faces and figures capture his “be happy” message in a way that’s both eerie and soul-settling.

Local musician Ashley Mehta will play her latest rosy-pop tunes, which have started to trend alongside names like Dua Lipa and Halsey. Donations welcome. (ER)

Everyone knows that a beer or two can help loosen you up.

Throw yoga into the mix and even the stiffest working stiffs are liable to walk away more pliable. Billed as an “End of Summer Block Party,” this event includes yoga, beer and music.

As DJ Yogic Flow spins tunes designed to keep the people moving, attendees are invited to participate in an all-levels yoga group led by two instructors.

There will be yoga mats available for rent and food trucks on site for everyone to enjoy after the session. You must be 21 or older to attend. (KA)

AUG 21–29 | “ALREADY THE IRON DOOR OF THE NORTH/CLANGS OPEN: BIRDS, LEAVES, SNOWS/ORDER THEIR POPULATIONS FORTH, AND A CRUEL WIND BLOWS.” A fantastic line from “End Of Summer,” a poem by Stanley Kunitz, which relates to me that feeling when it is clear that summer will be gone someday. Funny how the feeling changes each year. I despised the demise of my favorite season, only to be replaced by autumn— my least favorite—so full of darkness and school. Those faves have shifted toward the equinoxes now, and as much as I adore summer, I look forward to the cool damp gray of fall and the rebirth of spring. Granted, it’s still August, so maybe I should slow down…

If you’re ready for a little autumn in your summer, I recommend checking out the thoughtful R&B vocals of KIN. She put out a sweet jam this spring called “Be A Little Lonely” one part command, one part reminder to herself. I love it. Seek it out or hear it live at Art Boutiki Music Hall this Thursday. She’ll be supported by openers Melanie Ida Chopko and superpoet-homie Lorenz Dumuk. Expect collaborations, feelings and love. They’re calling it “The Feel Better Tour” and, by golly, I bet you will. = MUST SEE

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY to recycle plastic. Sorting and processing the used materials to make them available for fresh stuff is at least as expensive as creating new plastic items from scratch. On the other hand, sending used plastic to a recycling center makes it far less likely that it will end up in the oceans and waterways, harming living creatures. So in this case, the short-term financial argument in favor of recycling is insubstantial, whereas the moral argument is strong. I invite you to apply a similar perspective to your upcoming decisions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): African American slaves suffered many horrendous deprivations. For example, it was illegal for them to learn to read.

Their oppressors feared that educated slaves would be better equipped to agitate for freedom, and took extreme measures to keep them illiterate. Frederick Douglass was one slave who managed to beat the ban. As he secretly mastered the art of reading and writing, he came upon literature that ultimately emboldened him to escape his "owners" and flee to safety. He became one of the 19th century's most powerful abolitionists, producing reams of influential writing and speeches. I propose that we make Douglass your inspiring role model for the coming months. I think you're ready to break the hold of a certain curse and go on to achieve a gritty success that the curse had prevented you from accomplishing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For 25 years, businessman Don Thompson worked for the McDonald's fast food company, including three years as its CEO. During that time, he oversaw the sale and consumption of millions of hamburgers. But in 2015, he left McDonald's and became part of Beyond Meat, a company that sells vegan alternatives to meat. I could see you undergoing an equally dramatic shift in the coming months, Gemini: a transition into a new role that resembles but is also very different from a role you've been playing. I urge you to step up your fantasies about what that change might entail.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): "The learning process is

something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot," wrote author Audre Lorde. As an astrologer I would add this nuance: Although what Lourde says is true, some phases of your life are more favorable than others to seek deep and rapid education. For example, the coming weeks will bring you especially rich teachings if you incite the learning process now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The American idiom "stay

in your lane" has come to mean "mind your own business," and usually has a pejorative sense. But I'd like to expand it and soften it for your use in the coming weeks. Let's define it as meaning "stick to what you're good at and know about" or "don't try to operate outside your area of expertise" or "express yourself in ways that you have earned the right to do." Author Zadie Smith says that this is good advice for writers. "You have to work out what it is you can't do, obscure it, and focus on what works," she attests.

Apply that counsel to your own sphere or field, Leo.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Yisrael Kristal was a Polish

Jew born under the sign of Virgo in 1903. His father was a scholar of the Torah, and he began studying Judaism and learning Hebrew at age 3. He lived a long life and had many adventures, working as a candle-maker and a candy-maker. When the Red Army liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945, Kristal emerged as one of the survivors. He went on to live to the age of 113. Because of the chaos of World War I, he had never gotten his bar mitzvah when he'd turned 13. So he did it much later, in his old age. I foresee a comparable event coming up soon in your life, Virgo. You will claim a reward or observe a milestone or collect a blessing you weren't able to enjoy earlier.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sailors have used compasses to navigate since the 11th century, but that tool wasn't enough to guide them. A thorough knowledge of the night sky's stars was a crucial aid.

Skill at reading the ever-changing ocean currents always proved valuable. Another helpful trick was to take birds on the ships as collaborators. While at sea, if the birds flew off and returned, the sailors knew there was no land close by. If the birds didn't return,

chances were good that land was near. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because I think it's an excellent time to gather a number of different navigational tools for your upcoming quest. One won't be enough.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What do you want from

the allies who aren't your lovers? What feelings do you most enjoy while you're in the company of your interesting, non-romantic companions?

For instance, maybe you like to be respected and appreciated. Or perhaps what's most important to you is to experience the fun of being challenged and stimulated. Maybe your favorite feeling is the spirit of collaboration and comradeship. Or maybe all of the above. In any case, Scorpio, I urge you to get clear about what you want, and then make it your priority to foster it. In the coming weeks, you'll have the power to generate an abundance of your favorite kind of non-sexual togetherness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As the CEO of the

clothes company Zappos, Sagittarius entrepreneur Tony Hsieh is worth almost a billion dollars. If he chose, he could live in a mansion by the sea. Yet his home is a 200-square-foot, $48,000 trailer in Las Vegas, where he also keeps his pet alpaca. To be clear, he owns the entire trailer park, which consists of 30 other trailers, all of which are immaculate hotbeds of high-tech media technology where interesting people live. He loves the community he has created, which is more important to him than status and privilege.

"For me, experiences are more meaningful than stuff," he says. "I have way more experiences here." I'd love to see you reaffirm your commitment to priorities like his in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. It'll be a favorable time to do so.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Medical researcher

Jonas Salk developed a successful polio vaccine, so he had a strong rational mind. Here's how he described his relationship with his non-rational way of knowing. He said, "It is always with excitement that I wake up in the morning wondering what my intuition will toss up to me, like gifts from the sea.

I work with it and rely on it. It's my partner." I bring this up, Capricorn, because the coming weeks will be a favorable time to celebrate and cultivate your own intuition. You may generate amazing results as you learn to trust it more and figure out how to deepen your relationship with it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian

environmentalist Edward Abbey once formulated a concise list of his requirements for living well.

"One must be reasonable in one's demands on life," he wrote. "For myself, all that I ask is: 1. accurate information; 2. coherent knowledge; 3. deep understanding; 4. infinite loving wisdom; 5. no more kidney stones, please." According to my analysis of the astrological omens, now would be an excellent time for you to create your own tally of the Five Crucial Provisions. Be bold and precise as you inform life about your needs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "We may be surprised at whom God sends to answer our prayers," wrote author Janette Oke. I suspect that observation will apply to you in the coming weeks. If you're an atheist or agnostic, I'll rephrase her formulation for you: "We may be surprised at whom Life sends to answer our entreaties." There's only one important thing you have to do to cooperate with this experience: set aside your expectations about how help, and blessings might appear.

Poet Muriel Rukeyser said, "The world is made of stories, not atoms." I'd add, "You are made of stories, too." What's your favorite story that you're made of?
