The city should be forced to sell at the agreed price.

They force private citizens to sell them when they want a piece of property.

I’m confused. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for 12-plus years and I was taught that in the US, fish that is served raw must be frozen to be called sushi grade.

Freezing kills parasites that are common in fish. Is this still a FDA regulation? Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Hawaiian poke and will def check this place when I come home to SJ LIBERTY MILLER NELSON VIA FACEBOOK

THE FLY

Gone Girl

SVNEWS

Between a sweeping power outage and drawn-out strike, things have been pretty tense for Santa Clara County employees. So the email struck a raw nerve.

The offending missive came from HILARY ARMSTRONG—a program manager for County Executive JEFF SMITH—in response to a barrage of queries from employees seeking clarification about a directive from about vacation and sick leave.

On Oct. 4, the second day of a rolling strike by the county’s 12,000 SEIU Local 521 workers, Smith told all 22,000 employees in an email that they’d feel the pain. “Until strike activity ends, vacation time that was not previously approved will be denied,” he wrote.

Since the strike involves SEIU and none of the county’s They other several public Did employee unions, Smith’s What? directive prompted a lot of concerned questions SEND TIPS TO from employees with FLY@ closed labor contracts.

METRONEWS. Those queries were COM steered to Armstrong, who on Oct. 8 sent out a lengthy explainer affirming that, yes, Smith’s paid-leave restriction applied to all staff— SEIU-repped and otherwise.

That didn’t sound right to non-SEIU union heads, who began asking their lawyers whether they should file unfair labor practice complaints with the state.

More emails flooded the county exec’s office. And starting on Thursday, the ones sent to Armstrong got an immediate, automatically generated response.

“Thank you for your email!,” it read. “I am on vacation until 10/22/19, and will not be accessing email until then.”

That Armstrong took off before resolving the paid-leave question with concerned union reps rubbed folks the wrong way.

“When I saw that a high-level staffer who was dealing with the vacation cancelation ‘emergency’ went out on vacation herself before the issue was resolved for the other 9,000 impacted county workers,” one non-SEIU union leader said, “I thought to myself, ‘Rules for thee, not for me.’”

ALL SHOOK UP After 30 years, the Loma Prieta quake still informs how Ray Riordan, San Jose’s director of emergency services, does his job.

Ready or Not? San Jose plans emergency ops center to help the city ride out the next big quake

BY GRACE HASE

T

HE CLOCK READ 5:04pm when he felt the first jolt. The date: Oct. 17, 1989.

Ray Riordan, an emergency preparedness expert by trade, stood on the second floor of a woodframed building in Pleasanton when the tremors started. He recalls being in a hallway, grasping at walls that stood six feet apart— well beyond his wingspan. Yet, as the building began swaying and

buckling, he said his arms stretched easily from wall to wall.

The 6.9 magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake took 63 lives and injured 3,757 more, making it the most devastating seismic activity in California since 1906.

Three decades later, Riordan still works in the disaster preparedness field. But surviving Loma Prieta left an indelible imprint on his psyche and informs his work to this day.

Shortly after the 2017 Coyote Creek floods that displaced thousands

of people from their homes in San Jose, the city hired him as director of emergency services. At the time, city officials faced widespread backlash for their slow, stumbling response to the floods, which prompted evacuation orders for 14,000 residents and racked up a nearly $100 million bill for property damage. Once Riordan took the helm, officials spent months updating San Jose’s emergency operations plan. Earlier this year, they put it to use when heavy storms pummeled the city once more.

“It was a matter of trying to organize that office,” Riordan says. “I think we’re headed on the right track.

When we put out an evacuation order, we were much more prepared and capable of communicating with the public and operating our emergency operations center.”

The rainstorm wouldn’t be the only time this year that San Jose had to initiate its emergency

operations center. City officials went back in disaster mode just last week when PG&E began shutting off power to tens of thousands of South Bay denizens to prevent aging power lines from sparking another wildfire as devastating as last year’s Camp Fire, for which PG&E shouldered the blame.

Approximately 800,000 customers across the state lost power as part of the rolling blackouts. In San Jose alone, 60,000 residents in the Alum Rock, Evergreen and Almaden Valley neighborhoods endured a couple days without electricity. Because of the outage, the lights at 68 San Jose intersections went dark, causing jammed roads and slow commutes.

And about 150 city employees clocked 3,000 hours in the field monitoring the whole situation.

While most of San Jose was unaffected by the blackouts, the power shutoff served as a de facto training scenario for city officials.

Many of the emergency measures undertaken during the blackouts would apply in the event of California’s next big quake.

“For us in San Jose, an earthquake is at the top of our [emergency preparedness] list,” San Jose’s Deputy City Manager Kip Harkness says. “If we are ready for a quake, we are 80 percent ready for almost anything else that can happen. The shutoff is a subset of what will happen in a quake. If we’re quake ready, we’re ready for a shutoff.”

After the Loma Prieta earthquake, an estimated 1.4 million PG&E customers lost power and more than 150,000 customers shut off their own gas to prevent fires.

Riordan says San Jose aims to become “quake ready” in the next three years by improving its plans for evacuations and mass shelter and by building a state-of-the-art emergency operations center. The new disaster prep headquarters will be funded with dollars from Measure T, a 2018 bond measure that earmarked $650 million for public safety, infrastructure and disaster preparedness. Riordan says Measure T will also help upgrade freeway overpasses, which are particularly dangerous during severe temblors. After all, collapsed

bridges made for much of the death toll during the ‘89 quake.

The double-deck Nimitz Freeway in Oakland killed 42 people alone when it came crashing down.

“I’ve been with the city 2½ years, and the city manager’s taking a great stand in making emergency preparedness one of his hallmark priorities,” Riordan says. “The city has a direction and goal to be as ready as possible in a seismic event.”

Another part of San Jose’s earthquake readiness involves updating and retrofitting buildings prone to caving in or toppling over.

Harkness says a majority of the tallest buildings in downtown are up to seismic code since San Jose’s high-rise boom occurred after the Loma Prieta quake. However, he adds, about 1,000 “soft story” buildings remain in dire need of retrofitting.

“A soft story building is a building where the ground floor is a different composition then the upper floor,” Harkness explains. “You see a lot of these in San Jose [built in the] late 1960s, early 1970s with a groundfloor garage and then maybe four or five levels of apartment on top.

If those have not been retrofitted, those are very unsafe because the building starts to sway at two different rhythms, and that can lead to a collapse.”

A few weeks ago, San Jose received a grant that would help cover the costs of researching and enacting mandatory retrofits for out-of-code buildings. But as the city struggles to get shovels in the ground to build more homes, bolstering 1,000 structures could potentially undermine efforts to build up San Jose’s housing stock.

“It is not coincidental that many of these buildings are also where our most affordable rents are partially because of the nature of the construction,” Harkness says.

“We want to make sure that as we mandate retrofit, we do so in a way that landlords can afford to do it in a way that doesn’t pass those costs onto the tenants.”

Unlike unreinforced masonry, Harkness adds, retrofitting soft-story buildings can often happen without pushing residents out and at a much lower cost.

DOWNTOWN WEST The search-and-advertising giant wants to redevelop the area around Diridon Station into a world-class urban destination.

Google Submits Downtown Development Plans to City of San Jose BY GRACE HASE Last December, the San Jose City Council took a unanimous vote to sell acres of its own land to Mountain View-based Google. Ten months later and the tech giant has officially submitted plans to the city for its downtown mega-campus.

Now that the application is in the San Jose Planning Department’s hands, the project will embark on a year-long public engagement and environmental review process, culminating in a vote by the council in late 2020.

At a number of community meetings in August, Google presented a blueprint of the campus.

Since then, little has changed.

The 80-acre site, which lies adjacent to Diridon Station, will have 6.5 million square feet of office space, 3,000 to 5,000 residential units, up to 500,0000 square feet for retail, arts or cultural purposes and as many as 300 hotel rooms.

While those metrics remain part of Google’s plan, company spokesman Michael Appel said the newly filed application budgeted some extra

square footage and housing units.

Because California law requires cities to study the environmental impact of the project, he explained, Google gave itself a little bit of wiggle room for changes down the line.

The submission also allocates 5,160 parking spots for the public, nearby residents and Googlers.

Appel, however, emphasized that the company is focused on people, not cars—especially with the numerous future public transit options like VTA, BART, Caltrain and high-speed rail. The campus also aims to be bikeand pedestrian-friendly. Google plans for protected bike facilities, new offstreet paths along Los Gatos Creek and guarded bike lanes. Surrounding streets will also undergo traffic calming measures.

Earlier this year San Jose council members made a pivotal decision by upping building heights downtown in an effort to maximize density in the city’s core. Google’s project happens to fall into that zone. While existing height limits range between

65 and 135 feet, the new tech hub could soar from 160 to 290 feet high.

The review process is slated to kick off Nov. 7 with a public scoping meeting and a months-long assessment period to identify any potential impact the project would have on the environment.

Despite Google prefacing the official plans with a number of community meetings, some residents still have concerns.

“While Google has made important steps acknowledging their impact, I worry this plan still lacks details on the public’s No. 1 concern: what Google will do to protect the thousands of families struggling to afford housing in San Jose from displacement if Google’s arrival causes rents to soar,” said Chava Bustamante, an organizer with labor-backed nonprofit Silicon Valley Rising. “There is no more time to wait; we’re ready to engage in pulling a plan together to prevent displacement and bring our families and our community the peace of mind they deserve.”

Water Company Finalizes Merger San Jose Water Company has officially merged with an East Coast counterpart, making it the nation’s third-largest publicly traded water utility with customers in California, Connecticut, Maine and Texas.

Eric Thornburg, CEO of San Jose Water’s parent company SJW Group, praised the $1.1 billion tie-up with Connecticut Water as a benefit for investors and ratepayers alike. By expanding across state lines, he said, the companies will have greater capacity to upgrade aging infrastructure.

“As a leading national water and wastewater utility, we are well-positioned to deliver significant benefits to all of our stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, employees and the local communities we serve,” Thornburg, who helmed Connecticut Water until taking his current post in 2017, crowed in a news release. “This transformative combination provides us with the financial strength, geographic and regulatory diversity and increased scale that we believe will enable growth and create sustainable shareholder value.”

Local residents who’ve been keeping a close eye on San Jose Water over the past few years’ rate and fee hikes say California regulators failed to determine whether the merger serves the public interest. Rita Benton, co-founder of citizen watchdog group WRATES—which stands for Water Rate Advocates for Transparency, Equity and Sustainability—said the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) conducted only a perfunctory review of the deal.

“Once again, the CPUC is not willing to regulate SJW,” she said.

“The lack of interest, oversight and commitment to [state] code by the CPUC is a complete dereliction of duty.”—Jennifer Wadsworth

Pointed reunion Cactus Club denizens gather to help one of their own fight cancer

BY GARY SINGH

O

N OCT. 24, San Jose’s rock scene comes together at The Ritz in support of musician Matt Kolb, 49, who is fighting cancer. Bands from the early ’90s Cactus Club era— including Cafe of Regret, Firme and 187 Calm—will reunite for the cause, with Kolb mustering up some Marshall amp-level strength to talk about his battle.

“I’m fighting with everything I got,”

Kolb said. “I can’t thank my friends enough. I’m so close to survival thanks to them, their prayers and their support.”

Since the organizers are billing the gig as an official Cactus Club reunion, allow me to rocksplain the history.

Located at 417 S. First St., the Cactus Club (1988-2002) was San Jose’s equivalent of CBGB in New York.

Every club-level touring band in the country knew of the place. In its time, Cactus did everything that a rock & roll club is supposed to do: It pissed off the neighbors, it pissed off the cops, it pissed off everyone’s parents,

it embarrassed the politicians, it annoyed the city’s Department of Building, Planning and Code Enforcement, it irritated the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, and it gave San Jose name recognition across the United States of America.

When Cactus opened in December 1988, San Jose was still a backwater hick-town suburb with a pathological attention-starved inferiority complex about San Francisco, forever desperate to be taken seriously as a real city and thus finally shake the “red-headed stepchild of the Bay Area” image it was given for decades.

By then, much of downtown had long since deteriorated into a black hole of skid-row atmospherics with splotches of crumbling retail left over from the ’70s. The city was throwing millions at cockamamie schemes to lure the comfortable classes back downtown, while First Street south of San Carlos was the red light district, a dingy peepshow paradise where washed-up hookers went to die and

trenchcoated pervs went to score bad speed. (About once a year, some clown on the street tells me San Jose needs to bring all this back, but that’s another column.)

During those initial years, three other alternative music clubs existed nearby—Marsugi’s, Ajax and F/X—but Cactus was San Jose’s only 18-and-over venue, which meant many people no longer drove to San Francisco or the East Bay to see shows. After Cactus opened, local bands popped up everywhere.

Anyone with a guitar, bass or drum set started to rehearse. Since this was before the World Wide Web, cell phones or laptops, everyone promoted shows by hand. The local rock community was much stronger than it is today, and bands supported each other much more than they do now. As a result, a thriving rock scene exploded at the corner of First and San Salvador, then dubbed “Four Corners.” One didn’t even need to know who was playing at which club any given night. You just headed toward that corner, found a bar or an alley in which to drink, and then went to see bands like Nirvana, Korn or No Doubt when they were nobodies. If you didn’t make it inside, you’d slum it on the street and wait for whichever house party unfolded later. Everyone knew everyone else. The scene grew in organic fashion—a true, urban livefor-today spectacle of booze and rock & roll placemaking. We didn’t need the Knight Foundation for anything.

This wasn’t a ping-pong table in Fountain Alley.

Plus, it was cheap to live downtown at that time. Band houses tended to emerge everywhere. A thrashed Victorian for five drunk roommates and their record collections went for about $1,400 a month. SJSU tuition was $700 a semester. It was Camelot.

Sadly, though, many friends from those years are no longer with us, which is why any reunion such as this becomes a poignant opportunity for reflection. One of Cactus’ honchos near the end, the legendary Stikmon, told me just a few weeks ago that we have “San Jose cockroach blood.”

They’ll never get rid of us. On a larger level, Cactus was that way, too. The club you thought would never go away is never going away, especially when one of its own needs serious help. All I can add is: Fuck cancer.

Shakedown Street Three decades after Loma Prieta, Silicon Valley is still vulnerable

T

HE LOMA PRIETA earthquake arrived on a Tuesday, when we were deadlining an issue of Metro, which had been publishing for less than five years. The entire Bay Area was shaken to its knees for days.

The destruction took lives and destroyed landmark structures in the downtowns of Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Los Gatos and Hollister. Other cities lost longtime businesses as they were forced from their longtime homes by new seismic safety codes. It changed the valley in many ways.

The forces of nature are great humblers and pay no heed to human creations we take for granted. Fires in recent years have proven the inadequacy and lethalness of the state’s privately managed, aging electrical grid. When the earth shakes again, networks will jam and dams may burst, with potentially catastrophic results.

Stakes are higher now with more people living here, greater dependence on fragile digital technology constructs and the region’s global economic and technical importance.

We take for granted the utility of basic infrastructure that’s designed for everyday use without supporting the occasional catastrophic event.

It’s been nearly a billion seconds since the 15 that those of us who lived through them will never forget. Critical technology that provides more than 99.99 percent uptime is certainly nothing to grouse about, but when it comes to the safety of the millions who live here, that may not be good enough.

Communication Breakdown How would mobile technology hold up in the wake of the next big quake?

BY WALLACE BAINE

I

N THE FALL of 1989, the interactive world of communications technology that we take for granted today—the internet, social media, digital phone networks, mobile photography, Wi-Fi—did not yet exist. “Text” wasn’t a verb. “Twitter” wasn’t a noun.

“App” wasn’t even short for appetizer.

Still, when the Loma Prieta Earthquake struck, the first commodity to be in high demand by just about everyone affected was information, and that came only by way of television, radio and newsprint.

For those in the Bay Area hit by

the widespread power outages that followed the quake, it created one of the disaster’s most indelible images, a scenario that’s nearly unimaginable in today’s hyper-connected world: people camped out in their front yards on that warm evening, too frightened to be inside in the wake of aftershocks, huddled around car radios, asking neighbors and passersby for any updated information on what was happening.

If a similar earthquake struck in 2019, many of the elements of the immediate aftermath would look much the same: the effects on transportation, emergency response, medical attention, availability of food and water, electricity, etc. But what would the communications realm look like? How would the smartphone revolution hold up?

Romney Dunbar was at the white-hot center of the information flow during the ’89 quake and its aftermath. He was a TV news anchor and field reporter for KION covering Santa Cruz at the time. With no phone or camera in his pocket, his first instinct was to follow the smoke and dust he saw rising from downtown Santa Cruz. His station had no power, but he and his colleagues were able to edit their footage at KSCO, a nearby AM station affiliated with the Emergency Broadcast System. An hour or two later, Dunbar had his first report on the air.

His job as a reporter was to talk to people in the field and somehow get himself to a command post for frequent press conferences with state and local officials. Reliable information, he said, was hard to come by.

“We’d show up for an interview with someone to see how they were doing,” Dunbar says, “and they were asking us, ‘Hey, what’s going on out there? What can you tell me?’”

Today, he continues, the dynamic would be radically different.

Reporters who otherwise might go out into the world to find information would likely be diving into their devices, texting and checking social media. “I’d probably be broadcasting immediately now, through FaceTime or Skype, describing everything in real life.

And we wouldn’t necessarily be the premium [source of information], either. Regular citizens or people in dire straits would be doing their own broadcasting. We wouldn’t be the gatekeepers anymore.”

In the event of a major earthquake,

a smartphone would obviously be invaluable in chronicling unfolding events, and communicating with friends and family outside the area.

But wireless technology is subject to connectivity, which is itself dependent on hardware—cell phone towers, servers, modems, coaxial lines and fiber optic cable.

Bob Arnold is the president of the Disaster Recovery Journal, a publication dedicated to helping businesses plan for continuity in the face of a catastrophic event.

Arnold says that in the event of disaster, technology may never have an answer for an immutable law of physics: systems get easily overwhelmed when everyone wants to use them at the same time, whether it’s the highway system or a cellular network.

“If a substation or a tower goes down,” he says, telecoms “can reroute it through the nearest available tower. There’s so much backup and redundancy in that infrastructure, that’s rarely the problem. Most of the time, it’s just too much volume.

Volume is always going to be an issue, no matter what.”

There are satellite-based services as well that don’t rely on cell towers or other problems that can come with the use of cable or DSL internet service. Companies like ComSat offer satellite services for government, military and commercial use, giving businesses options they didn’t have 30 years ago. “They’ll just roll the satellite [antenna] in your parking lot,” Arnold says, “and hook it into your own system, allowing you to maintain your customer support.”

(Satellite internet service is available to consumers, too, but it tends to be much slower than terrestrial service, which is why it is primarily used in rural areas when no other service is available).

Smartphone users can learn to be economical in a time of crisis. Texts and SMS messages use a lot less data than a phone call. After Loma Prieta, it was common for people in Northern California to be out of touch with friends and family outside the area for hours, even days.

Bob Arnold’s father Richard

L. Arnold founded the Disaster Recovery Journal. In fact, the elder Arnold flew from his home in Missouri to San Jose the day after Loma Prieta to see the damage firsthand. “He really wanted to get some photos and scope out the disaster on his own,” Bob Arnold says.

His family didn’t hear from him for more than 24 hours afterward. “Now, of course, you’d just get on Twitter and be updated within 30 seconds.”

Even without connectivity, smartphones can prove useful.

Location apps that use GPS technology such as Life360 or Snap Map can give families peace of mind, and can even assist in search and rescue. Businesses and organizations can turn to services like Everbridge and OnSolve that provide sophisticated emergency communications within a system.

In the end, though, many people might opt to go old school in their crisis communications—shortwave or “ham” radio. Peter Hertan, a leader in the Los Gatos/Monte Sereno Radio Amateurs club, leads classes in ham radio operation. Ham operators must be licensed by the FCC, and Hertan is one of many instructors across the country who offer an eight-hour class in the protocols and process of communicating with the network of ham operators.

Ham operators in Santa Clara County often work closely with local Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) in rehearsals and preparations for disasters like earthquakes and wildfires, learning how to communicate to the outside world about what’s happening in their communities and vice versa.

Last week’s widespread power outages in the Bay Area may have prompted many people to learn more about shortwave radio. Hertan said that his periodic ham classes usually have between 25 and 35 people. The next session—Nov. 23 at El Camino Hospital in Los Gatos—may have to accommodate up to 75.

“It was a dress rehearsal,” Hertan says of the PG&E outages. “It’s woken up a lot of people to being prepared for next time.”

Water Pressure Quake threat prompts water district to push Anderson Dam retrofit forward

BY BARRY HOLTZCLAW

I

N FEBRUARY 2017, the Anderson Reservoir spilled over. That month, torrential storms sent a deluge of water into many low-lying neighborhoods near Coyote Creek. The resulting floods forced 14,000 people from their homes and did $100 million in damage.

If Anderson Dam were to fail suddenly, the fallout would be catastrophic. A breach of Anderson Dam at full capacity could inundate surrounding land more than 30 miles northwest to San Francisco Bay, and more than 40 miles southeast to Monterey Bay. On the 30th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake, and with another typical winter rainy season— the third in a row—approaching, public water experts are accelerating their efforts to improve the capacity and stability of Anderson Dam and the Anderson Reservoir, Santa Clara County’s largest body of water.

The 235-foot-high earthen dam measures 1,430 feet long by 900 feet wide and sits along the Coyote Creek

Fault on Coyote Road, east of Morgan Hill. The reservoir itself is situated parallel to the Calaveras Fault, which runs from Hollister to Milpitas. It holds over 90,000 acre feet of water when full, more than the other nine reservoirs in the county combined.

The Santa Clara Valley Water District, which now calls itself Valley Water, says it hopes to break ground on a five-year, $550 million project to upgrade the earthquake safety of the Anderson Dam in 2021. The popular recreation lake would be drained for at least five years during the project.

New seismic data in 2018 prompted the district, which owns the reservoir, to revise and expand its plans for the Anderson Seismic Retrofit, boosting the cost and timetable for the project.

According to the seismic study, the nearly 70-year-old earthen dam needs to be rebuilt.

Recent geologic investigations of the dam have uncovered “previously unidentified seismic deficiencies.” The most alarming of the investigation’s conclusions might be that the upstream embankment is “susceptible to liquefaction” during a “maximum considered earthquake.”

Remembering Loma Prieta

BY COLLEEN WATSON

A

NYONE WHO WAS in the Bay Area on Oct. 17, 1989, remembers exactly what they were doing and whom they were with at 5:04pm, when the magnitude 6.9 Loma Prieta Earthquake hit.

Residents of Los Gatos were hit harder than almost anyone in Santa Clara County. Homes were knocked off their foundations, some of the

oldest buildings on Main Street were badly damaged and fires broke out throughout the town. Residents went without power for days, while some moved into tents in their yards.

Former Los Gatos Mayor Diane McNutt remembers driving down North Santa Cruz Avenue with her husband, Michael Cronk. At 5:04pm, they were passing in front of the Bank of America. “I thought he was playing around—joggling the wheel around,” she recalls. “But

19 the shaking,” he says, but “the cloud of dust was kind of strange.”

Dolce Spazio is a popular gelato shop and one of the first espresso bars to open in Los Gatos. “We’d been in the Beckwith building since about 1980,” Hargett says. That was over.

Most of the business district was shut down for months. After the earthquake, Dolce Spazio had to move the gelateria, and opened in a new location on North Santa Cruz Avenue two months later. But fallout from the quake lasted much longer than that.

The problem, according to Hargett, was that people weren’t coming to Los Gatos anymore. Everyone seemed to think that the whole town had been destroyed.

“We launched a program to enlighten people that Los Gatos was still alive and that there were many, many merchants still running,” he says. “We all worked together, and a year later we had a block party downtown and sort of celebrated a one-year anniversary.”

And now, 30 years later, downtown Los Gatos is once again thriving.

As with seemingly all disasters, those who lived through the Loma Prieta Earthquake in Los Gatos remember how the community came together to try and help each other out.

Everyone remembers that C.B. Hannegan’s, the beloved Irish pub, which closed at the end of 2017, was one of the few businesses that had power after the quake; owner John Hannegan kept the place open and fixed food for shell-shocked people who wandered in.

They recall the volunteers who helped reshelf the thousands of displaced books that had flown off shelves at the library. Loma Prieta is remembered as a moment when the community banded together to get through one of the most difficult times in its history.

“For years it would come up in conversation, and everyone around the table or at a meeting would want to share what they were doing at the time,” McNutt says. “You just needed to talk about your experience, whether it was major or minor. It seems to be part of the human spirit to share that.”

Downtown Down The earthquake had dealt a serious blow to Los Gatos’ downtown business district. It shook the facade off the Beckwith Building, built in 1893. Joe Hargett, owner of Dolce Spazio, remembers running out of his office there and up the hill. He also remembers seeing the dust rising off the mountains, “You’re accustomed to

then I saw people falling on the sidewalk.”

McNutt remembers looking out at the Santa Cruz Mountains in the distance. “It’s a very strong image for me to see,” she says. “It was almost like smoke. But it was dust rising up off of the mountains. Then I realized it had been an earthquake.”

It took McNutt and Cronk half an hour to get to their home near Los Gatos High School. She remembers near chaos, “streets being closed, sidewalks bent up and people just going nuts. There was just so much confusion and fear.”

Though the house was undamaged, most of the furniture had fallen over. The family had no power for about four days.

“Our neighbors ran an extension cord so we could have lights and watch television,” she says. “And I learned to appreciate peanut butter on bread because we ate that for every meal for a couple of days.”

Judy Coughlin, an assistant librarian at the time, remembers walking into the town library after the earthquake to find everything on the floor. Other than the mess, however, the only real damage was from a piano that went through the window in the children’s area.

“We’ve been told the town building was built as a bomb shelter so it was pretty sturdily built,” she says. Nevertheless, the library was forced to close for a couple of weeks.

“All the books had to be picked up, everything had to be braced, so that took a while,” Coughlin says. But elsewhere, the damage was significant.

“I remember the next morning walking downtown and seeing the damage to the Beckwith Building,” she says.

“Downtown was a ghost town.”

S THE ECONOMIC engine of Silicon Valley continues to draw college graduates and older entrepreneurial dreamers, the region’s swelling population is as hungry as ever. Bay Area-bred locals enjoy their old haunts and yearn for novel edible experiences, while transplants from smaller towns and faraway cities seek familiar comforts and foreign thrills.

From adventurous eaters to

those who just want a simple taste of home, the South Bay has a little something for everybody. Our collective backyard is populated with a highly diverse assortment of world-renowned chefs and pop-up proprietors—all of them rubbing elbows with one another and participating in a cultural and culinary exchange that is perpetually reshaping the local food scene.

Heading into the colder, darker months of the year, it’s worth remembering just how much warmth and light we can absorb through the breaking of bread. Read on for a list

of new and forthcoming restaurants and a refresher course on long-lived institutions.

Brand New Running a restaurant is hard. The margins are slim, and everything from a few bad reviews to an out-of-the-way location can sink an otherwise strong venture. But what of the other side of the coin? When a restaurateur finds success with his or her first endeavor, what comes next? Well… they go through the whole nail-biting process all over again, of course. Here are just a few of the newest and forthcoming projects from Silicon Valley’s better known brands.

Be.Steak.A 1887 S Bascom Ave, Campbell Jeffrey Stout, founder and chef at Orchard City Kitchen, is branching out—opening up a second restaurant in The Pruneyard. His new establishment, Be.Steak.A, is described as a “Stout interpretation of an American steakhouse with Italian

Nick Difu of Nick’s Next Door is growing his brand. Recently opened directly next door to his flagship restaurant, this adult soda shop features bar bites and top-shelf craft cocktails, all designed by celebrated mixologist Jason D. Seele. The food lineup ranges from simple snacks like citrus-infused olives to more sophisticated dishes like a Kobe beef carpaccio. The cocktails are a mix of Seele’s creative interpretations of classics and his original creations.

Mentone Aptos Village Square David Kinch is known the world over for his acclaimed, three-Michelinstarred Los Gatos restaurant, Manresa. Since finding success with his first restaurant, he’s opened a number of eateries, including The Bywater in Los Gatos and Manresa Bread, which has multiple locations throughout Silicon Valley. His newest endeavor is Mentone, which is scheduled to open over the hill in Aptos this winter. Impatient fans can get a taste of Mentone next month, as Kinch is hosting a preview of the new restaurant’s menu at the Manresa Bread in Campbell on Nov. 6 and 7.

Tried & True If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Silicon Valley may be known as a cradle of cutting-edge innovation, but we have plenty of restaurants that predate the advent of the internet, mobile phone and personal computer. Here are just a few South Bay eateries that were feeding apricot farmers before software developers.

2301 Stevens Creek Blvd, San Jose 408.294.7886 falafelsdrivein.com In the San Jose dining landscape, there is a handful of iconic locations where every true native resident has eaten over the years, and Falafel’s Drive-In is certainly one of them. It’s been in the current location since 1966. While Falafel’s does serve up other Middle Eastern fare—like kebabs, dolmas, foul, baba-ghanouj, hummus and gyros—I always find myself sticking to the namesake deepfried balls of garbanzo goodness. The classic combo of a large falafel sandwich and banana shake might be the best one-two veggie-friendly punch in the South Bay. Add-on an order of za’atarladen pita chips and you’ll really be in for a Middle East feast.

La Villa 1319 Lincoln Ave, San Jose wglavilla.com This venerable Italian deli is one of the last of a dying breed in this valley.

Bertucelli's La Villa Gourmet has been serving hearty comfort food in the heart of downtown Willow Glen since 1947.

The Mini Gourmet

Palo Alto Creamery

599 S Bascom Ave, San Jose minigourmetrestaurant.com

566 Emerson St, Palo Alto paloaltocreamery.com

This iconic greasy spoon—and we say that with the utmost love—has been serving up classic breakfast fare since 1971. They don’t do anything fancy; they just prepare good eats at reasonable prices. They used to be open 24/7, but have since revised this to just Thursday through Saturday. Get the certified Angus steak and eggs for a terrific allAmerican start to the day.

Most places have phased out making a good ol’ fashion breakfast, like mama used to make from scratch, but not Palo Alto Creamery. Since 1923, they have undergone a few changes but have kept the same wholesome promise of using the simplest ingredients and producing the perfect breakfast. This place has some sweet treats, like their Caribbean French toast, which is topped with coconut, maple syrup and caramelized bananas.

Now that’s one dish that will have mama wishing she did it first.

Osteria 247 Hamilton Ave, Palo Alto 650.328.5700 osteriatoscanapaloalto.com Located on the bottom floor of the Cardinal Hotel, this Tuscan original has been serving up classic Italian fare for more than 30 years. Since its purchase almost three years ago by Giuseppe and Mauricio Carrubba, most of Osteria’s produce, beef and eggs come from its own Grandview Farms. The carpaccio app—with its

So Bougie As one would expect, in this valley of venture capitalists and technological disruptors, there are plenty of fine dining experiences to go around. Some are quite pricey, while others won’t break the bank. It costs about $600 per person to sample David Kinch’s prix fixe menu (with drink pairings)

at the three-Michelin-starred Manresa, while a couple exercising restraint could enjoy lunch at the Rosewood Sand Hill’s Madera for about $100— even with drinks.

Adega 1614 Alum Rock Ave, San Jose 408.926.9075 adegarest.com In 2016, chefs David Costa and Jessica Carreira took home a Michelin star for elevating little-known Portugese fare, with such stunning dishes as Polvo à Lagareiro (oven-roasted octopus) and the classic Bacalhau à Adega (pan-seared cod). They no longer hold the star, but we anticipate it will return. For a real treat, show up hungry and splurge on the sevencourse chef ’s tasting menu for an epic culinary adventure.

FRESH CATCH The oven-roasted octopus at Adega in San Jose is delicious.

Hamilton is well worth the drive.

The word “fresh” doesn’t quite cut it, as Grandview serves up certified Black Angus beef that’s raised right next door at Grandview Farms and dry-aged for 21 days. Their 18-ounce Cowboy Steak is so tender that it practically melts in your mouth.

With a phenomenal menu, a cocktail menu that rotates weekly and stellar views of the entire South Bay, this steakhouse spot should be on everyone's list.

La Foret 21747 Bertram Rd, San Jose 408.997.3458 laforetrestaurant.com The Carrubba brothers, the siblings who reimagined the Grandview restaurant, also rebooted this South San Jose gem. A fine dining restaurant tucked away in the New Almaden wilderness has been immaculately restored and reimagined. It offers a welcome escape from the valley’s bustle.

Madera 2825-2895 Sand Hill Rd, Menlo Park 650.561.1500 The outside lounge-style seating area at the Rosewood Sand Hill’s illustrious Madera restaurant is a relaxing place for craft cocktails and small plates.

It’s the perfect place to enjoy the remaining warm nights of this region’s long Indian summers while watching the sun set behind the Santa Cruz Mountains. The single-Michelinstarred Madera offers a meticulously curated selection of wines cocktails, craft cocktails and seasonal dishes.

Hi-Qual Comfort Any home cook worth their weight in salt knows that throwing salt into the frying pan—along with cheese, garlic and grease—is a reliable way to stumble into a satisfying meal.

Whether such concoctions are actually any good, culinarily speaking, is another matter. But all “comfort food” is not created equal. Here are just a few of the local restaurateurs elevating the familiar to the level of fine art.

Luna Mexican Kitchen 1495 The Alameda, San Jose 408.320.2654 lunamexicankitchen.com To make a city that isn’t exactly hurting for Mexican cuisine stand up and take notice isn’t easy. But that’s what Luna Mexican Grill has achieved. The husband-and-wife team of John Lopez and Jo Lerma-Lopez take top-shelf ingredients, combine them to make authentic recipes and add a blend of modern décor—with a touch of south-of-the-border flair—to create one of the hippest communal dining eateries around. The baconwrapped camarones come with Oaxacan cheese and make for a savory starter. Luna’s mixed grill comes comes with handmade tortillas and in a variety of sizes to suit small and large parties.

Olla Cocina 17 N San Pedro St, San Jose ollacocina.com/menu Olla Cocina is located on the historic San Pedro Square. This sit-down Mexican joint does much more than burritos, tacos and cerveza, specializing in authentic and contemporary dishes, including delicious Oaxacan fare, tangy ceviche and smoky mezcal flights. The patio is great for winding down on a warm night.

Our House 185 Park Ave #189, San Jose ourhousesj.com Our House has one of the better menus in the fast casual arena. They cater to locavores—people who like to eat only locally sourced food—as their entire menu is sourced from within a 500-mile radius and features sustainable, GMO-free and organically grown items. Their Brie-licious has a chicken breast, creamy brie cheese and pickled peaches for one creamy, sweet and sour punch, and their Cubano, one of the tastiest Cuban sandwiches in the South Bay, is made with an organic crispy-fried pork belly.

Terún 448 California Ave, Palo Alto 650.600.8310 terunpizza.com Native Italian chefs Franco Campilongo, Kristyan d’Angelo and Maico Campilongo have mastered the art of pizza, specifically Neapolitan style, which led them to bring the tradition of true Italian cuisine across the pond. Their Neapolitan features a rich San Marzano tomato sauce, topped with a fine fior di latte mozzarella, hearty anchovies and oregano.

Offbeat Eats Hats off to whoever it was who first looked at the cactus-like artichoke and thought, “If I boil it and scrape the leaves with my teeth…” It’s adventurous eating like this that inspires us to develop our palates beyond the standard meat and potatoes. These restaurants are ready to help the current crop of culinary thrill-seekers expand their dining horizons.

casu marzu sheep cheese. For Filipinos, it’s balut: a usually-purple-dyed fertilized chicken or duck egg that's been allowed to develop into an embryo and then boiled in the shell.

The snack is eaten in Vietnam, China and elsewhere in southeast Asia and the Pacific islands. The age of the embryo varies, from 17 to 21 days.

At 21 days the tiny bird starts to get a little crunchy but is tender when cooked. Balut is commonly served as a salted snack with beer. That should tell you something. The veiny, lightly feathered bird embryo may not look that appetizing, but the flavor is familiar. It tastes a lot like chicken soup. Pick them up for about a dollar apiece at your local Asian market, or at Olivera Egg Ranch.

Braise 1185 Lincoln Ave, San Jose 408.294.2919 braisewillowglen.com Anthony “AJ” Jimenez and Josh Hanoka are culinary veterans of some of the South Bay’s best kitchens and have teamed up to occupy the former Haymarket location in Willow

Glen. While the pair serve up plenty of modern takes on comfort food, they also have some items on their menu that might cause patrons to do a double take. They offer a peanut butter, jelly and bone marrow sandwich, a whole roasted fish and house-cured lamb tongue pastrami.

All of it is delicious.

Bun bo Hue An Nam Multiple locations The specialty Vietnamese soup known as Bun bo Hue has its origins in the former capital city of Hue. This beefy, brothy bowl balances sour, salty and spicy notes. For years, the local gold standard has been the aptly named chain, Bun bo Hue An Nam. They are renowned for their amazing broth and one specialty ingredient: ox pizzle (penis). Yes, that magical ingredient was enough to draw Andrew Zimmern of the Travel Channel show, Bizarre Foods America. While diners can order their soup sans pizzle, I would recommend trying it at least once—if for no other reason than to spice up the Instagram feed.

Located inside the beautiful Hotel Los Gatos, Dio Deka was awarded a Michelin star back in 2010. It’s since lost the honorific, but the restaurant is still definitely worthy of a visit, according to the 2018 Michelin guide, which singles out Dio Deka’s wine list as “excellent.” Check out the lovely patio and try one of their many seafood options to keep things authentically Mediterranean.

While Ethiopian food is scarce in the South Bay (see LeYou below), it is plentiful in Oakland. Conversely,

the East Bay Express ran an article in December 2018 fawning over a San Leandro restaurant serving xiaolongbao. Silicon Valley denizens need not drive that far for a delicious XLB. In fact, the problem really comes down to which direction to drive. There are a growing number of authentic Chinese restaurants serving these soupy dumplings all over the region. One particularly good newcomer is just a few miles from another popular XLB hotspot, Din Tai Fung. Their thin-skinned XLBs are perfectly proportioned and filled with sumptuous broth and meaty innards. The menu also features a nice selection of Chinese soups and plenty of veggie dumplings.

Try the khao, which is reminiscent of tahdig— crispy Persian rice that's been smothered in a khoresh (stew). Unlike the way tahdig is served, the Lao rice is broken apart into delectable, bite-sized clusters. Famous Lao serves it with cured or fermented pieces of pork. Their chewiness complements the crunch.

Hunan Taste 998 N 4th St, San Jose 408.295.1186 hunan-taste.com Henry Chung, the man credited with bringing the spicy Hunan style of Chinese cooking to the United States, died in 2017. His spirit and recipes live on in the many eateries that still bear his name throughout San Francisco.

His cooking caused quite a sensation when American diners, then more familiar with Cantonese styles of Chinese food, discovered Henry’s Hunan. Henry’s legacy lives on in San Jose’s Hyde Park neighborhood.

Hunan Taste was founded by Joanne Song, Chung’s niece. Delicious, savory

and most importantly, spicy, Hunan Taste is a great place to break a sweat and bust a cold. Must-trys are their hot and sour soup, dumplings and mu shi pork.

Küsan Uyghur Cuisine 1516 N 4th St, San Jose 408.899.4365 kusancuisine.com The Turkic Uyghur (pronounced wee-goo’r) people hail from Xinjiang. The Chinese province, located in the country’s northwest, shares a western border with Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan and served as a main thoroughfare on the ancient Silk Road trading route between China and the Middle East. The Uyghurs are a largely Muslim ethnic minority in the People’s Republic of China, and their cuisine combines traditional Chinese and Middle Eastern spices and ingredients with elements of Halal. The menu offers a limited selection of carefully curated dishes, such as Uyghur salad, braised lamb shank and a special milk tea.

GET STONED Stews are quite popular in Iran, and one of the most basic versions is known as abgoosht—’meat juice.’

Ethiopian cuisine is underappreciated and hard to find in the South Bay. But the small pool of options recently got a little bit bigger with the opening of LeYou Ethiopian. As with all Ethiopian spots, the vegetarian options are plentiful, with lentils, chickpeas, eggplant and collard greens. There’s also the kitfo (steak tartare) for adventurous carnivores, and the slow-cooked Ethiopian standard sauces of k’ey wot and alicha that come with diner’s choice of proteins, including beef, lamb, chicken, whitefish and Portobello mushrooms. They also have Ethiopian beer, local beer from Hapa’s Brewing Co. and Ethiopian honey wine.

For years, the original Stone Stew has been tucked away in the back of a Saratoga Avenue grocery store called Mediterranean Food Market.

It was, and still is, a hidden gem.

Its spectacularly beautiful decor whisks diners away to a veranda in Iran. However, with the impending Garden City Shopping Center renovations, the original will soon shutter. Fortunately, a second San Jose location keeps the Stone Stew rolling. The new restaurant is substantially smaller than the original, though it is nearly as beautiful. Stews are quite popular in Iran, and one of the most basic

Midday Munchies Is it noon yet? While many in Silicon Valley rely on their employer for the midday meal, the rest of us must choose whether to pack our own lunch or go on the hunt. There are many wonderful eateries that serve fast, fresh and delicious options— often between two slabs of bread or wrapped in a tortilla. Here are some of the better options for those looking to eat well in a hurry.

Freshly Baked Eatery 152 N Third St # 101, San Jose 408.298.9370 freshly-baked-eatery.cafe-inspector.com Fresh-baked bread is a key component in a next-level sandwich, but usually most loaves are baked earlier in the day. Not at Freshly Baked. Here their sourdough loaves are only half-baked and then finished up just moments before patrons order up one of their tasty subs. There’s always a bit of a show as the sandwich makers pop open the bread so that patrons can ooh and aah at waves of hot steam erupting from the tasty loaves. By the way, did we mention that Freshly Baked also roasts their meats in-house, as well? Yeah. They’re legit.

Not only is Phát Trí one of the primary sources of bread for Vietnamese restaurants, but they also serve up some of the best bánh mí in the South Bay. Their primary base of operations is in San Jose’s Little Saigon neighborhood and cranks out loaf after loaf of giant, fluffy French baguettes. Their No. 31 is fantastic and comes with grilled pork, scrambled eggs and their mayo-based “special sauce.” When combined with their bread, pickled veggies and smoldering jalapenos, this makes for one of the best sammies in the South Bay. Their real strong suit is their fantastic value, as all their sandwiches are in the $5-$6 range and are so huge that one could make two meals out of it.

Burrito lovers on the hunt for a sandwich would do well to swing by this East Side bakery known for serving up gigantic Mexican sandwiches (tortas) for very little dinero. Their housemade bread has a nice crusty exterior and soft interior that doesn’t overwhelm, but stands up to their copious filling. Their Milanese might be their most popular sammie, as it’s filled to the brim with breaded steak, avocado, thick-cut queso fresco, jalapeños and tomatoes. And their green and red salsas are delicious.

A good breakfast can be enjoyed at any time of day; hence, the creation of chicken and waffles. Local eateries are putting their own spin on protein-and-carb pairings, doing wonders with bacon and home fries as well as poultry and pastry. And the atmosphere at these breakfast joints runs from family-friendly to adultoriented (read “OJ to mimosas”).

The Breakfast Club 1432 W San Carlos St bcmidtown.com Despite being on the scene for less than two years, the Breakfast Club (sans Molly and Judd) has stepped up as a favorite morning spot in San Jose’s Midtown neighborhood.

Their selection of five bloody marys all start with their house bloody mix and are favorites here—and also available gluten-free, if desired.

Their red velvet pancakes with cream cheese frosting are a carb-tastic way to start one’s morning.

Hobee’s Multiple locations hobees.com

Willow Glen/Los Gatos Meats & Smokehouse 885 Delmas Ave, San Jose and 575 University Ave, Los Gatos willowglenmeats.com | losgatosmeats.com These two sister locations arguably serve up the best sandwiches in the South Bay, and most residents under age 30 have probably never heard of either one. This is a real travesty. These guys do things the real old-school way as 95 percent of what they serve at the shop is made in-house, including their pastrami.

The popular AJ comes with their pastrami, avocado and bacon.

However, the Quadruple ByPass, which sports tri-tip, pulled pork, pastrami, bacon, chipotle sauce and pepper jack cheese, is the sandwich to end all sandwiches.

This local breakfast institution has been serving the South Bay since 1974 with a nice mix of healthy and traditional breakfast fare. Their original smoothie is a terrific way to get the day started off right, but don’t forget to get some of their aptly named “World-Famous” blueberry coffee cake.

are the staples on their brunch menu. Feeling like something daring?

Get the lobster burrito that comes with a Fresno chili aioli, tater tots and scrambled eggs and everyone’s favorite marine crustacean for an unforgettable breakfast.

Southern Kitchen 27 E Main St, Los Gatos southernkitchenlg.com Not to be confused with the similarly named greasy spoon on Monterey Highway, this quaint downtown Los Gatos spot offers up down-home Southern fare. Their unique take on chicken and waffles—where the chicken is actually embedded in the waffle and then deep-fried golden brown—is not to be missed. Another “can’t miss” item is their signature shrimp and grits, which won the People’s Choice award at the 2016 Bacon and Beer classic.

Pop Stars Pop-ups are the first cousins of food trucks, there when you need a nosh at a venue with no food menu. Since these venues are often taprooms, pop-up menus are heavy on alcoholabsorbing comfort food, often prepared with a memorable twist that imbibers develop a taste for. It’s a perfect pairing of basic needs and culinary creativity.

Alma Jackson’s facebook.com/Friedchicken37 Full disclosure: Matthew Close, the chef responsible for the Alma Jackson’s Fried Chicken pop-up, is a Metro contributor. He’s also a scientist, apparently. How else might one explain his ability to achieve a perfectly crisp exterior while keeping the interior of his fried chicken so juicy? Now that we think of it, black magic might be involved. He also has a fried cauliflower vegetarian option that nearly passes as the real thing.

Bay Style Catering 408.618.9373 baystylecateringco.com Bay Style’s menu is simple and

delicious. Customers can choose from either street tacos or mulitas, which are essentially double-decker quesadillas, filled with meat, cheese, onions, cilantro and a spicy avocado sauce. Inspired by Mexican and Fijian culinary traditions, the popup’s garam masala spice blend pairs perfectly with their expertly cooked dark chicken meat.

Mollies Catering @molliescatering1 Gonzalo Acevedo, the man behind Mollies Catering, knows a thing or two about meat and cheese. At his delicious pop-up, which can be found at Camino Brewing most days of the week, he not only serves a protein-heavy burrito consisting of only meat, cheese and a spicy pickled pepper-and-veggie medley, but he also dishes out what he calls “keto tacos.” First he melts a pad of cheese on the surface of his wellseasoned griddle, scraping it off once it has become crispy on the outside and al dente on the inside. Then he fills it with your choice of toppings.

Mmmm… Low carbs.

Barya Pop-Up Kitchen facebook.com/baryakitchen 408.887.5031 Chef Rod Reyes’ pop-up restaurant really came into its own when started experimenting with his mother’s traditional Filipino recipes.

Reyes’ oxtail lumpia is to die for.

The juxtaposition between its crisp exterior and its soft, savory oxtail insides is a revelation. The accompanying kare-kare dipping sauce coaxes a complexity and sweetness out of the oxtail, bringing the entire dish together.

Headliners include CJ Ramone as well as UK punk originators Cock Sparrer and Subhumans. (CA)

Fresh off the release of his latest standup special, comedian Bill Burr brings his outrage to Silicon Valley. The hour-long Paper Tiger, released on Netflix in September, takes aim at political correctness.

“Everything has become absolutes,” Burr says, railing against what he perceives to be wrongheaded stances on both the left and the right. He questions the wisdom of the #MeToo slogan, “believe women” (“What about the psychos?!”), and blasts conservatives for blasting Colin Kaepernick. It’s a difficult needle to thread, especially for someone as white and loud as Burr. Then again, the Boston comedian has never shied away from controversy. (MS)

Honoring the past while looking to the future, sjDANCEco opens its 17th season with Etched in Time, a program featuring “The Exiles,” a Paradise Lost masterwork by José Limón, and a world premiere piece based upon the experiences of a DACA-Dreamer immigrant living in the US. The world premiere is by Gabriel Mata, a San Jose State University graduate. “This is where/I Begin…” is a solo work— choreographed and performed

by Mata—set to “Jenuwine Flow” by Michael Wall, a track originally created to accompany a 60-minute yoga flow. Barbara Day Turner conducts the accompanying San Jose Chamber Orchestra. (MS)

Mark Farina has been spinning records for a long time. Born and raised in Chicago, the tastemaking Bay Area transplant helped shape the San Francisco electronic scene in the early ’90s. Whether you find him at the helm of a pulsating house mix or weaving together a more downtempo groove, it is advisable to wear comfy shoes.

This dance pioneer is known for his lengthy and engrossing sets. Joining Farina will be local techno-house hero Arturo Garces and the Ritz’s resident DJ and IDM encyclopedia, Basura. (CA)

It was 60 years ago this Sunday that KFJC first broadcast from a broom closet at Foothill College.

In six decades that followed, the humble station has become synonymous with adventurous tastes and documenting the bleeding-edge of underground music, both at home and on location around the world. In the process, KFJC has defied the state of radio, proving that truly alternative music still has a place on the air. To commemorate the 60th anniversary, they’re hosting an open house and inviting the community to come meet the DJs, enjoy some music, snack and celebrate. Long live the Wave of the West! (MH)

Holding court over his kit, drummer and composer Kendrick Scott proves that percussion is about so much more than keeping time. On his 2016 composition, “Philando,” the Houston-born musician improvises over an ambient drone and a recording of the Philando Castile shooting, heightening the emotional narration of Castile’s girlfriend Diamond Reynolds with swelling cymbals, rumbling toms and popping snares. Scott will perform with his band Oracle alongside guitarist Mike Moreno, pianist Taylor Eigsti and bassist Brandon Owens. The concert launches a new Hammer Theatre Center-San Jose Jazz collaboration, the Black Cab Jazz series. (NV)

The brainchild of renowned choreographer and director Moses Pendleton, the internationally acclaimed Momix dance troupe has been performing daring multimedia works of artistic provocation for nearly 40 years. By combining extravagant costumes and visuals with dynamic music and cutting-edge contemporary dance choreography, Momix provides an almost hallucinogenic feast for the senses. Lacking the creepy whimsy of Cirque Du Soleil, and more athletically more daring than any Nutcracker performance, Momix’s two-night residence at San Jose State’s Hammer Theatre Center is a must-see for fans of dance, music, art and entertainment.

MULTIPLE LAYERS Jimmy Fonseca and Aliks Hernandez merged their skills to form Downtown Screen Printers.

Pectoral Prints Downtown Screen Printers bring the work of local artists to a chest near you

BY ERIKA RASMUSSEN

‘P

LEASE DON’T DO Coke In The Bathroom.”

Downtown denizens will recognize the crossstitch, originally embroidered by local artist and Local Color founder Erin Salazar and hung on the door of the Good Karma restroom.

Those less familiar with the longrunning San Jose vegan restaurant may have first encountered the same design on a T-shirt. This

garment is the work of Downtown Screen Printers.

Jimmy Fonseca and Aliks Hernandez, the pair of artists behind DTSP, have been accruing quite the portfolio. The collection of designs on their studio wall serves as a roadmap, chronicling two years of wearable work.

Each paper-thin plastic sheet serves as a waypoint on the DTSP journey. There’s the face of Mighty Mike McGee, “Homegirls Por Vida”— mantra of local DJ Emz—and the

Clandestine Brewing logo, a graphic of a woman brewmaster.

Fonseca and Hernandez met at Local Color. Fonseca moved his creative energy into the collective studio when it first opened in 2016; Hernandez joined the space a little later, mainly to access the screen printing tools the collective had acquired. The two saw a potential for collaboration.

Fonseca had the color separation and graphic design expertise, while Hernandez knew the basics of screen printing. “We each had both ends of the spectrum covered separately, so working together just made it fit perfectly,” Hernande says.

Since 2018, the two artists have been deepening that screen printing craft, establishing a brand for themselves and working with a diversified client group. The jobs they run can range from tattoo shops, construction companies, schools and beyond. Sometimes they touch upon all of those categories in a single day.

They’re collaborating with people from all walks of industry and life, including other creatives.

Recently, the “San Jose” logo that Nicholas Jimenez designed—one that became a regional Snapchat geofilter with 29.9 million views and 655,000 uses—found a new home on DTSPproduced black T-shirts.

“I really like taking artwork, preserving the integrity of the art, and transferring that into a screen print. I view it as an artist, not as a screen printer,” Fonseca says. Both he and Hernandez are artists first, screen printers second. They view the work they do as reproducing art with more art. Instead of using digital printers, these two are bringing designs and artwork to life the old-fashioned way—with their bare hands.

To create the stencil-like screen that’s used in screen printing, they first print a design—entirely black—on a special film. Next, a silk screen is coated in emulsion and placed on a light table with the film design in place. The emulsion cures on exposure to the light, excluding whatever area is covered by the design. After a good wash and dry, the screen is ready for action.

Local Color’s massive garment press looks like something that might rove around the surface of Mars.

Once the screen is prepared, it is secured onto the hulking apparatus.

Using a squeegee, the artist moves ink across the screen. After baking in the 350-degree drying oven for just a few minutes, the shirt is ready to wear.

As of now, the merchandise they’ve printed is worn all over the South Bay. You might see an ostrichriding Teresa ghost from Mario and Yoshi—designed for the relatively new Miniboss video game bar by painter and Dredg bassist Drew Roulette—walking down the street.

Bill the Butcher might wait for you on someone’s chest at the end of a dark hallway; that one was originally created by artist Francisco Ramirez for Five Points craft cocktail bar.

Fonseca and Hernandez are getting accustomed to seeing their prints walking around town, not something all artists experience. “Before, at the beginning, I’d be like, ‘Hey, I like your shirt. I designed it, or I printed it,’” says Fonseca. “But now, it’s kind of like, alright, it’s normal, and I try not to geek out about it.”

BREAKING AWAY Jesse Pinkman gets free and seeks his freedom in ‘El Camino,’ now on Netflix.

On The Run ‘Breaking Bad’ sequel ‘El Camino’ gives Jesse Pinkman sendoff he deserves

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

T

HIS WEEKEND, millions who watched El Camino had a strange experience; they learned of Robert Forster’s death just minutes after seeing the actor repeat his Breaking Bad role as a man who makes people disappear.

Forster’s Ed Galbraith runs a vacuum cleaner store in Albuquerque.

It’s an oversized space that’s staged to make this medium-statured man look smaller and lonelier. He’s chatting with a little old lady customer who doesn’t want to ditch her loyal broken

vacuum cleaner. “Why can’t they build things that last anymore?” she complains. He replies, “Ah, you’re singing my song.”

His next customer: Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) is a scarfaced fugitive with a huge sack full of money.

The young desperado tries to force the system of references and secret passwords Ed uses as a firewall between his front and his real work: giving aliases and new lives to criminals on the run. Even in the face of stacks of cash, Ed stands his ground, to teach a kid a lesson.

This actor was built to last. Forster is best known for a similar character: the rueful South LA bail bondsman

Max Cherry, from Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown. Forster did good movies as well as wretched ones, and took corporate pep talk gigs for hire when job offers dwindled. With most actors, you can tell whose silhouette they fill— who would have acted their kind of roles 50 years previously. Jesse Plemons, who plays the calf-faced psycho Todd in El Camino, is superb in a part that Rod Steiger would have nailed in 1964.

There’s no clear parallel to Forster’s particular ability to embody a human problem: the matter of integrity, what it costs, and what its worth.

Breaking Bad, to which El Camino was a sequel, was a story about for-profit medicine. As they say, the Canadian version would have been one episode long. But it was also a critique of the way some of our tunnel-visioned dads worked, as perfectionists who never considered the end results. At the end of this trail, the meth-baron Walter White (Bryan Cranston) was beaming with fatherly pride at the kind of beautiful stainless steel machinery that he had used to pump out death out by the bindlefull.

His star pupil, Jesse, was last seen in the Breaking Bad finale in September 2013, roaring with ecstasy at his freedom.

That’s where we begin. His first stop is the welcoming home of beloved knuckleheads Badger (Matthew Lee Jones) and Skinny Pete (Charles Baker)—note the goofs have squandered their crime earnings on a pair of full-size replica USS Enterprise chairs. Next stop is to toss the apartment of the newly dead Todd (Plemons) to try to find the money he stashed.

Jesse Pinkman was a slave laborer for Todd and other Aryan thugs, tortured and kept in an open pit. LIke most PTSD cases, Jesse is unable to stay on the present tense; and he’s riddled with flashbacks about one particularly bad weekend in captivity: “Guess what, we’re all alone… it’s just the two of us,” Todd says from the rim of the pit. For a while you're afraid Todd is going to complete the humiliation of Jesse, the way it’s done in prison. Actually, it’s almost worse. Forced to help clean up after a mess Todd made, Jesse is made to understand how completely broken he’s been by captivity.

The memories are unbidden, but he can’t dwell on them when there’s an apartment to search: In a ceiling shot in time lapse, we see a halfdozen little Jesses scrabbling in every different room, chopping walls and ripping floors.

El Camino is slightly unfixed in time. The Wild West peeks out of the sunbelt sprawl. This same movie that has Jesse crunching burner phones in his hands also has him ripping out some Yellow Pages to help find his way. Who does that now? This is tense and authentically tough, but not on its own wavelength, like David Lynch’s brilliant sidebar to Twin Peaks, Fire Walk With Me. El Camino doesn’t stand alone.

However, it does reunite those two fascinating figures, mentor and student. In flashback, at a coffee shop, White once again fails to note the intelligence beneath Jesse Pinkman’s pinkboy gangsta affectations—a personal style that hadn’t yet faced a margin call, as it does here.

BAND OF BROTHERS ‘We love each other like brothers,’ bassist Bruce Hall says of his REO Speedwagon band mates.

No Speed Limit After more than 50 years touring, REO Speedwagon keeps the fire burnin'

BY BILL KOPP

M

IDWESTERN ROCKERS REO Speedwagon played together for more than 13 years before the band scored its first top 10 single. That song, “Keep On Lovin’ You” marked a new beginning for the group. And REO Speedwagon’s durability has been proven over and over again ever since: Nearly 40 years after that single (and several others from the blockbuster LP Hi Infidelity) ruled the charts, the band continues to tour.

Bassist Bruce Hall joined the band in 1977, in time to play on sessions for the album You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish. He says that to this day he jokes with his bandmates about it. “I’m always telling the guys that as soon as I joined the band, everything started happening,” he says with a chuckle. “But it’s not true.”

Hall says that his entry did coincide with the band making a collective decision to write songs with hit potential. He explains that songs from REO’s first several albums were played on college radio stations.

“But in order to have a career, we started thinking about getting on

AM radio, so that we could get wider distribution and play in the big leagues,” he says.

That meant sharpening the group’s songwriting. “Tighter arrangements, not too much jamming in the middle … that sort of thing,” Hall says. “There was a conscious effort; we wanted this thing to last, and we needed some hit songs in order for that to happen.

And I think we did that.”

The proof of concept came with the release of Hi Infidelity. The band’s ninth album stormed the US charts, topping out at No. 1 and eventually earning a Diamond certification (10 million units sold) from the Recording Industry Association of America. Hi Infidelity featured no less than six singles, four of which made it into the Top 40. The album also sold in droves in Canada and the UK, establishing an international following for the previously regional act.

Even before the record as released, Hall and his bandmates knew they had made the kind of album they set out to make. “We knew it was going

to be a good record,” he says, “but I don’t think anybody knew it was going to take off like a rocketship and take us out to another place. It was a surprise to everybody.”

It helped that a new pop culture phenomenon came on the scene just a few months after the release of Hi Infidelity. MTV brought music videos to a ready audience, and—unlike many of the band’s contemporaries—REO Speedwagon managed to make the successful leap into the music video era.

“We were hot as a pistol at the time,” Hall recalls, “so they came to us with the idea of making videos and putting them on.”

And because MTV was so new, many bands hadn’t yet sensed the commercial potential that music videos represented. “Not all that many groups had really gotten on the bandwagon yet,” Hall says. “So the videos of ours that MTV had in their rotation, they just played over and over again!”

REO Speedwagon took full advantage of its newfound fame, going on to release a string of popular albums through the 1980s. And even when tastes changed and the hits stopped coming, the band succeeded with a number of compilations and greatest hits albums, touring with a set heavy on the hit material.

Today the band continues to tour, with a lineup that hasn't changed in 30 years. In addition to Hall, REO Speedwagon features keyboardist and founding member Neal Doughty, lead singer and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Cronin, guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt. Asked about the secret to the band's stability in an era when many other legacy acts soldier on with a revolving door lineup, Hall has a straightforward answer. “We respect each other and we love each other like brothers,” he says. “We don’t mind being together. We travel on a bus all the time, and we love to make music together. I think all of us feel very fortunate to have each other and to have this band. And there’s no reason not to enjoy it.”

OCT 16–25 | “I’M SO AHEAD OF MY TIME MY PARENTS HAVEN’T MET YET.” If rap lyrics aren’t poetry, then I cannot fully claim that I am a poet since so much of my poetic upbringing started with hip-hop. This line came up in a freestyle by the late and great lyricist, Big L. I imagine the larger impact he would have made on rap and poetry had he the chance.

Want to discuss the future of art? There’s a mixer at the big Crema coffee house on The Alameda on Wednesday. You can go from there to San Jose’s comedy trifecta every third Wednesday. On Thursday, once you’ve checked out some poetry at Caffe Frascati hosted by Tina “Mad Dog” Madueño, I compel you to go across the street to Cafe Stritch to check out Javier Santiago’s album release show. You will be glad you did.

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

Nothing like arriving for your reservation at a steakhouse only to be told, “We’re out of a few things tonight—everything made of cow. But good news! We’ve still got carrot kebabs, cauliflower schnitzel and kelp stroganoff !”

Women who bait and switch like this—revealing their relationshippy intentions between the appetizers and the end of date two—are reflecting what evolutionary psychologists David Buss and David Schmitt call men’s and women’s conflicting sexual strategies.

These are best summed up as “happily ever after” for women vs. “hookupily ever after” for men.

These differences in sexual strategy trace to differences in “obligatory parental investment.” This refers to how a man can bolt after sex—“Thanks, but I’ll pass on doing the dad thing!”—while a woman can get pregnant and stuck with a kid to drag around and feed.

Accordingly, Buss and Schmitt explain that women typically benefit most from a long-term sexual strategy, vetting men to see that they’d stick around to invest in any children that might come out of sex. Men, however, benefit most (that is, leave more descendants carrying their genes) from a short-term sexual

strategy—having casual sex with a variety of hot-erellas.

This doesn’t mean that men never want to commit or that women never want to hook up. They do this when circumstances make it in their best interest. But because men and women coevolved, they are at least subconsciously aware of each other’s intentions and shade the truth to put themselves in the most marketable light. So, men often act more interested in commitment than they actually are in hopes of getting sex, and women often act less interested, in hopes of ensnaring Harry Hookup and turning him into Harry the Husband.

It probably makes sense to err on the side of assuming a woman will want commitment, whether she knows or articulates that or not. Opt for my “cheap, short and local” advice for first and second dates: Meet for happy hour drinks or coffee for an hour or two, max. You still might get women who said they just want casual fun going gooey on you at the end of date two.

At least you won’t have shelled out for filet mignon and fine wine only to hear the no-strings-attached sex version of “First 100 callers get a free TV! Oh, sorry, sir, you’re caller 101.”

My girlfriends are all writing out their visions for a partner, as if they’ve met him already (“Thank you, universe, for bringing me this man...”). They claim they’ve gotten boyfriends because of it. Is this just New Age crap, or is there something to writing down what you want?—Boyfriend-Seeking This apparently is a thing, women writing a letter about the man of their dreams and then feeling like they ordered online from the universe: “My man’s on his way. Just waiting for the tracking number!”

Once they get a boyfriend, the belief that their letter writing made it happen comes out of a common cognitive bias—a hiccup in rational thinking— called the illusion of control. This term, coined by psychologist Ellen Langer, describes people’s tendency to believe they have control over outcomes that they obviously do not.

Ironically, the fact that it’s irrational to do this doesn’t mean it’s unhelpful.

Research by psychologists Michael I. Norton and Francesca Gino finds that a ritual, a symbolic activity a person

performs in hopes of making something happen, tends to increase their feelings of control over situations in which outcomes are uncertain. This, in turn, decreases the stress they feel.

In other words, it’s possible that the ceremonial act of writing a “Dear Santa” letter to the universe could make a woman more appealing to men by calming her down and getting her to act less crazy and desperate. It’s like putting in an order at a restaurant. You have faith your dinner is coming; you don’t stalk the waiter on Instagram and text him 30 times, alternating pictures of your boobs with plaintive questions and abuse: “Is the chef okay? ... Are you on a smoke break? ... I bet you gave my steak to a prettier girl. ...

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): "We can't change

anything until we get some fresh ideas, until we begin to see things differently," wrote Aries psychologist James Hillman. I agree. And that's very good news for you Aries people. In my view, you are more attracted to and excited by fresh ideas than any other sign of the zodiac. That's why you have the potential to become master initiators of transformation. One of my favorite types of plot twists in your life story occurs when you seek out fresh ideas and initiate transformations not only in your own behalf, but also for those you care about.

I bet the coming weeks will bring at least one of those plot twists.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Metaphorically speaking, Taurus, you are now crossing a bridge. Behind you is the intriguing past; in front of you, the even more intriguing future. You can still decide to return to where you came from, or you could pick up your pace and race ahead at twice the speed. You might even make the choice to linger on the bridge for a while, to survey the vast vistas that are visible and contemplate more leisurely the transition you're making. Only you know what's best for you, of course.

But if you asked me, I'd be in favor of lingering on the bridge for a while.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): As I write this, I'm sitting in a café near two women at another table. One sports a gold cashmere headscarf and pentagram necklace. The other wears a dark blue pantsuit and a silver broach that's the glyph for Gemini the Twins. HeadScarf shuffles a deck of Tarot cards and asks PantSuit what she'd like to find out during the divination she is about to receive. "I would very much like you to tell me what I really, really want," PantSuit says with a chuckle. "I'm sure that once I find out that big secret, I'll be able to accomplish wonders."

I hope the rest of you Geminis will be on a similar mission in the coming weeks. Do whatever it takes to get very clear about what you want most.

By ROB BREZSNY week of October 16

not a four-leaf clover, but resembles it. I invite you Libras to fantasize about using these three marvels.

To do so will potentize your imagination, thereby boosting the cosmic forces that will be working in your favor to enhance your awareness, confer inspiration, solve riddles, unlock what's locked and find hidden treasures.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Inventor Buckminster

Fuller (1895-1983) was a visionary genius in numerous fields, including architecture, design, engineering and futurism. In the course of earning 40 honorary doctorates, he traveled widely. It was his custom to wear three watches, each set to a different time: one to the zone where he currently was, another to where he had recently departed, and a third to where he would journey next. "I know that I am not a category," he wrote. "I am not a thing—a noun. I seem to be a verb." I recommend his approach to you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Be a verb! Allow your identity to be fluid, your plans adjustable, your ideas subject to constant revision.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "Art is good for my

soul precisely because it reminds me that we have souls in the first place," said actress Tilda Swinton.

How about you, Sagittarius? What reminds you that you have a soul in the first place? Beloved animals?

Favorite music? A stroll amid natural wonders?

Unpredictable, fascinating sexual experiences? The vivid and mysterious dreams you have at night?

Whatever stimuli bring you into visceral communion with your soul, I urge you to seek them out in abundance. It's Soul-Cherishing and Soul-Enhancing Time for you.

Astro

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ancient Greek

philosopher Socrates was meandering through an Athenian marketplace, gazing at the appealing and expensive items for sale. "How many things there are in this world that I do not want," he exclaimed with satisfaction. I recommend you cultivate that liberated attitude. Now is a perfect time to celebrate the fact that there are countless treasures and pleasures you don't need in order to be charmed and cheerful about your life. For extra credit, add this nuance from Henry David Thoreau: People are rich in proportion to the number of things they can afford to let alone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I invite you to try this

exercise. Imagine that one springtime you grow a garden filled with flowers that rabbits like to nibble: petunias, marigolds, gazanias and pansies. This is a place whose only purpose is to give gifts to a wild, sweet part of nature. It's blithely impractical. You do it for your own senseless, secret joy. It appeals to the dreamy lover of life in you. Got all that, Leo? Now, in accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you actually try to fulfill a fantasy comparable to that one in the coming weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My Virgo friend Lola

got a text message from her Scorpio buddy Tanya.

"Why don't you come over and chill with me and my demons? It'll be entertaining, I promise! My inner jerks are howlingly funny tonight." Here's what Lola texted back: "Thanks but no thanks, sweetie.

I've been making big breakthroughs with my own demons—giving them the attention they crave without caving in to their outrageous demands— and for now I need to work on stabilizing our new relationship. I can't risk bringing extra demons into the mix." I suspect this is an accurate description of what could be happening for you, Virgo.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In ancient holy texts from India, soma was said to be a drink that enhanced awareness and alertness. According to modern scholars, it may have been a blend of poppy, ephedra and cannabis. In Norse mythology, the beverage called the Mead of Suttungr conferred poetic inspiration and the ability to solve any riddle.

One of its ingredients was honey. In Slavic folklore, raskovnik is an herb with the magic power to unlock what's locked and uncover hidden treasures. It's

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The coming weeks

will be a favorable time to arrange a series of highlevel meetings between your body, mind and soul.

You might even consider staging an extravagant conference-like festival and festival-like conference.

The astrological omens suggest that your body, mind and soul are now primed to reveal choice secrets and tips to each other. They are all more willing and eager than usual to come up with productive new synergies that will enable each to function with more panache and effectiveness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "I believe in inhabiting

contradictions," writes Aquarian author and activist Angela Davis. "I believe in making contradictions productive, not in having to choose one side or the other side, as opposed to choosing either or choosing both." I think Davis's approach will work well for you in the coming weeks. It's not just that the contradictions will be tolerable; they will be downright fertile, generous and beneficent. So welcome them; honor them; allow them to bless you with their tricky opportunities and unexpected solutions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean pianist Frédéric Chopin (1801–1849) was a poetic genius whose music was full of sweetness and grace. "Without equal in his generation," said more than one critic.

Today, more than 170 years after his death, his work remains popular. Recently an Italian sound designer named Remo de Vico created an original new Chopin piece that featured all 21 of the master's piano nocturnes being played simultaneously. (You can hear it here: tinyurl.com/NewChopin.) As you might imagine, it's a gorgeous mess, too crammed with notes to truly be enjoyable, but interesting nevertheless. I'll counsel you to avoid a similar fate in the coming weeks, Pisces. It's fine to be extravagant and expansive and mulitfaceted; just don't overdo it.

Homework: "I have thousands of opinions still—but that is down from millions—and, as always, I know nothing." So said Harold Brodkey. And you? FreeWillAstrology.com
