JANICE BARIC BARTOLOTTA VIA FACEBOOK RE: COLUMNIST RECALLS MANY A HAPPY HOUR AT CACTUS CLUB, SILICON ALLEYS, OCT. 23

I was working for zero magazine and went to that happy hour seven days a week. One day I went there right at 5 and knocked on the closed door, and Blacky said the bartender did not show up. He handed me the money bag a set of keys and said, “you’re the new happy hour bartender.” I worked that happy hour for six months and the owner had no idea. I worked for tips only. I handed my keys to Lorin and said, “It’s your turn.”

I have always loved listening to Jahs Music on Sundays, Norman Bates Memorial soundtrack show on Saturdays, and then the Reverb Hour on Saturday nights with all of the great surf rock music that they play. This is a great radio station.

STEVE TIDD VIA FACEBOOK

It’s crowded in this trendy bar, filled with trendy millennials that Lime scootered in droves from their tech campuses for the warm social climate and happy hour prices. Tech money is what you need to buy drinks around here, I suppose? Sixteen bucks for an old-fashioned? No, thanks. I’ll just have a Sierra Nevada, and even that’s $9! But some of the interactions you witness might be priceless. “Yes! I’m from Boston,” said this young blond man with indignation, “and we don’t pronounce it ‘re-TAW-ded!’

In fact, I don’t say that word at all because I’m progressive.” “Lighten up, Kristin. I was just joking,” said her coworker, who just blew his chance with Kristin. “Well, it’s not funny, Jacob,“ Kristin replied. Enter Jacob’s engineer friend from a different tech company.

“Hey, Jacob! What’s up, man?!” “Hey, Riaz. This is my coworker Kristin,” introduced Jacob. “Nice to meet you!” Kristin said excitedly. “Has anyone ever told you that you look exactly like Aziz Ansari?!

I think it’s your skin tone and eyebrows!” “Actually, no,” replied Riaz. “Because I look nothing like Aziz Ansari. I’m not even Indian. I’m Pakistani.”

Sometimes you’re not really woke like you claim to be.

WEB: SanJoseInside.com An inside look at San Jose politics

Facebook is fending off Russian trolls and actual fake news as the 2020 election gears up. The Menlo Park-based social media giant rolled out a slew of election initiatives Oct. 21 to prevent the spread of misinformation and to protect candidates.

But they may have been just a day too late in shielding San Jose Councilman LAN DIEP from an attack.

The D4 councilor—who’s running for re-election against employment rights attorney HUY TRAN and chemical engineer-slash-Berryessa Union School District trustee DAVID COHEN —said his candidate page was mysteriously deactivated on Oct. 20.

Diep tells Fly that he received a notification that his coveted blue verified check mark was being suspended due to “suspicious activity.” Facebook walked him through a few precautionary steps and asked him to reset his password.

CAR SHOW Sam Liccardo spoke at the nation’s capitol in defense of California’s right to set stricter auto emission standards.

But when he did, the page disappeared. That made it considerably more difficult to connect with voters.

San Jose Mayor Testifies to Congress on Trump’s Emissions-Standards Rollback BY GRACE HASE

Don’t forget to tip!

“In this day and age, FLY@ Facebook plays a role METRONEWS. in political campaigns,” COM Diep said. “I direct voters to look at my Facebook page on all my campaign literature, so it’s extremely frustrating for it to be down. It certainly leaves me at a disadvantage.”

Five days later Diep’s page reappeared, but this time under a different name: LAN DIEP NASSPAY. Oddly enough, his url was also altered from @lanforsanjose to @laaaanforsanjose.

Diep’s still unsure what happened and a representative for Facebook offered no explanation when they told Fly his page was back online.

It’s hard to say whether Diep was hacked or if the Russians were trying to interfere with elections in the capital of Silicon Valley.

San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo spent Tuesday testifying to the US House Committee on Oversight and Reform instead of in his usual seat at the City Council dais.

Liccardo is one of six individuals who spoke in front of the Subcommittee on Environment about President Donald Trump’s proposal to freeze auto emission standards at 37 miles per gallon.

The initiative rolls back rules set during the Barack Obama administration that would have increased standards to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. The Trump administration argues that it would lower the price of vehicles and save lives from traffic deaths. But environmentalists say that it will only fuel pollution.

California has played a particularly key role in the debate, which pits the country’s commander-in-chief against Gov. Gavin Newsom. Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency announced that it was revoking

California’s waiver under the Clean Air Act, which allowed the state to exceed national standards and set its own emission rules.

On Tuesday morning, Liccardo brought his green perspective as the mayor of the 10th largest city in the country to Capitol Hill. During his time in office, Liccardo has been a staunch supporter of a cleaner San Jose, leading initiatives to ban natural gas in new construction and increase the number of electric vehicle charging stations in the city.

“For a half-century, the California waiver has enabled Silicon Valley—and 130 million Americans in 14 states—to imagine a future different from the reality of deadly smog that choked Californians for decades,” Liccardo said. “A Republican governor, Ronald Reagan, signed legislation forming the Air Resources Board in 1967, to create emission standards that would survive federal pre-emption by virtue

of the signature of a Republican president, Richard Nixon, on the 1970 amendments to the Clean Air Act.” Liccardo’s testimony continued with him explaining what he called the three B’s: Breaths, Breakthroughs and Benjamins.

Breaths represents California’s effort to create “pollution-control technologies” like the catalytic converter. The second B— Breakthroughs—represents the “growing adoption of technology, particularly in the further development of zero-emission vehicles and the generation of renewable energy.” The last B, Benjamins, deals with the money that Liccardo says drivers will save from purchasing hybrid and electric cars.

Liccardo closed out his testimony by referencing everyone’s favorite green Muppet. “In the words of the esteemed philosopher, Kermit the Frog, ‘It’s not easy being green,’” he said. “The federal government shouldn’t make it harder.”

ELECTION 2020 Vinh Do will be competing against Matt Mahan and Jenny Higgins Bradanini for the Almaden Valley council seat.

Financial Adviser Jumps into San Jose’s D10 Race BY GRACE HASE The race to replace soon-to-term-out Councilman Johnny Khamis for his District 10 seat on the San Jose City Council just got a bit more crowded.

Financial adviser Vinh Do has announced he’s making a bid to be the next representative for the Almaden Valley area. Do faces a tight race against ex-Brigade CEO Matt Mahan, former Bay Area Women’s March President Jenny Higgins Bradanini and local businesswoman Helen Wang.

Do told San Jose Inside that he decided to run for the council seat because he wants to make a difference in D10, where he plans to raise his family. Do grew up in District 2, but moved to D10 more than a decade ago and has lived there on and off ever since. His employer, MW Wealth Advisors, is also headquartered in the Almaden Valley district, so he feels he already serves many of the residents in the district.

Clients “trust me to provide them with solutions that have their best interest in mind,” Do said of his job.

“Having clients trust me with their life savings is a privilege that I do not take lightly, and I will do the same for the constituents of District 10.”

Since Do is a newcomer to politics, he said, his voice will be “unfiltered” and that he will “rely on [his] ability to build relationships quickly with

the constituents so that [he] can truly represent their voice in city hall.”

Do described a desire to focus on solutions that can have an “immediate impact” on some of the issues that plague San Jose and District 10.

“I understand that processes in government will take time,” he said.

“However, there are processes that are in our control, such as getting community involvement to address issues like homelessness—working with religious organizations to open up their land for temporary shelters to provide necessities like electricity, hot water or a place to use the restroom.”

Do added that he believes working with community and religious organizations is a way to address some of San Jose’s ongoing problems without using an exorbitant amount of city resources. The council hopeful said he will also draw on his experience of growing up in some of the more “impoverished areas of San Jose.”

“District 10 is dealing with many of the issues that I have experience[d] growing up” in District 2, he said.

“I believe this gives me a different perspective on how to come up with solutions that can be implemented immediately.”

The statewide primary election takes place on March 3, 2020. For more information, visit sos.ca.gov.

SILICON SILICONALLEYS ALLEYS

NANNY, NANNY Susanna Greenwood talked to the animals—or at least their owners—to get the inside scoop on San Jose for her book.

Going Native Reworked guide to San Jose focuses on the people behind the places

BY GARY SINGH

S

USANNA GREENWOOD is a one-woman connection machine.

This week a new version of her 2015 book, 100 Things to Do In San Jose Before You Die, hits the streets with an October 30th release party at 3Below, formerly the Camera 3 Cinemas.

She rewrote the book with the intention of connecting visitors to

events and places where locals hang out, so those visitors could then, in turn, learn more about San Jose.

At the time of Greenwood’s initial publication four years ago, she was an employee of Team San Jose. Reedy Press was just starting to build a catalog of similar titles. Being a native and true believer in her town’s potential, Greenwood took on the project.

“It kind of fell in my lap in terms of who should write this,” she recalls.

“I kind of figured, ‘You know what, I work for the convention center, I hear the questions all the time, I know the answers, I live downtown, I happen to like San Jose, so I’d be a good person to write it, so I think I’ll do it.’ So I did. We didn’t have a San Jose-specific guide at that time.”

As a result, the book unfolded as a compendium of blurbs, quick shots and paragraphs, a project designed for people visiting on business or side trips. The new edition, while still following that layout, has a slightly different feel. Greenwood took into account her own perspectives when she travels. That is, instead of looking through a thick detailed guide offering every little piece of giddy advice, she’d rather encounter local characters whose stories help illuminate a place. This became her attitude when choosing the selection of entries. She wanted to introduce her readers to eccentric city denizens

and places where those natives would most likely be found. Those natives could be artists, entrepreneurs, chefs, brewmasters, poets or even goats, as long as there’s a story to tell. Such is the philosophy that drove the book.

“The people, for me, are the guides.

That’s who you want to talk to,” she says. “The people who live here, the people who are super passionate, the people who are making the art and making the things. That’s who you want to get in touch with. What I found, while I was curating this next edition, was where are the places and events that are going to put someone in touch with that person?”

The book was not just thrown together. Some serious thought went into the curation. As a result, the Arts & Entertainment section includes, among many others, Cafe Stritch, Capitol Drive-in, Art Boutiki, JJ’s and the Dancing Cat Cafe. Thumbing through Shopping and Fashion, one finds Needle to the Groove, Hicklebee’s and the Ao Dai Festival.

The food section features 26 musteats from Mezcal to Mark’s Hot Dogs.

Other pages include Silicon Valley Beer Week, the main library, the San Carlos Street antique shops and the city hall falcons, plus gardens, art walks, Ethiopian food and pillow fights. All of these are places and events that should connect visitors to locals with weird stories to tell. Only a native could have organized the selection the way Greenwood did.

“I feel like we are an underground, kind of understated, city because our best asset is the people,” Greenwood says, “and so I tried to put them in the forefront. The San Joseans are the tour guides. They are the secret society.

They are the ones that are going to give you the information that I couldn’t possibly put in a book, when given a paragraph to cover something.”

Greenwood now works in Mountain View but still regularly shows up all over San Jose. She’s hoping her book helps alleviate some of the stigmas and inconsistencies in the downtown San Jose experience.

“I think it’s so much easier than people make it out to be,” she says.

“I take my 81-year-old mother to events. There is parking, there is accessibility, and there are things that are appropriate for kids, for adults, for millennials, for all of it. I feel like there’s access, and we have to remind people of that.”

Voyeurs, Guns & Doorbells Home security cameras are a bonanza for public safety as police gain ability to request and view Amazon/Ring video clips BY NICHOLAS CHAN

A

MAN IN a gray hoodie and flannel pajama pants strolls casually along the walkway. As he nears a mother and her young daughter, he lunges, snatching the woman’s purse, pulling her and the girl down a stairwell to the concrete.

In a flash, he disappears from the frame.

San Jose police canvass the area surrounding the two-story office complex off of Towers Lane on the East Side. Using private security camera footage, they reconstruct

the crime and identify the suspect’s getaway vehicle, a black Lexus sedan.

Detectives ultimately match the purse-snatcher to a string of similar incidents, and five days later the police have their man.

On May 11, San Jose Police arrested 26-year-old Pablo Cabrera Jr. at his home in San Jose. A search of the premises turned up evidence connecting Cabrera to similar robberies of Asian women carrying pricey purses. He was booked at Elmwood jail on suspicion of robbery and violating a burglary conviction parole. The video footage proved crucial to cracking the case, which has yet to go to trial.

Security video helped authorities track down Joey Vicencio, the 21-year-old Santa Claran charged with attempted murder after 10 rounds from a semi-automatic rifle were fired into the Martin Luther King Jr. Library last month. Citizens’ footage also provided clues that led to the identification and arrest of Carlos Arevalo-Carranza, the 24-year-old accused of murdering San Jose resident Bambi Larson earlier this year.

“We have solved homicides, sexual assaults and shootings with the use of surveillance cameras that are privately owned,” SJPD Police Chief Eddie Garcia says. “In the Bambi

Larson murder, if it weren't for stitching those neighborhood camera videos together, I don’t know where that investigation would be.”

Obtaining such video evidence is time-consuming. Officers have had to go door to door, asking for permission from individual camera owners or obtaining a search warrant from a judge. Had SJPD obtained the footage of Cabrera, Vicencio and Arevalo-Carranza sooner, they might have avoided days of searching for suspects.

Law enforcement now has a shortcut to such footage. San Jose, Santa Clara and Milpitas police departments recently became the

11 OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 5, 2019 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

first agencies in the South Bay to use a new virtual tool, which allows detectives to easily obtain privatelyowned security video.

The Neighbors App, created by the Amazon-owned networked doorbell and home security camera maker Ring, connects users to security videos of suspicious or criminal activity in the surrounding community.

The service is billed as “The New Neighborhood Watch” in ads.

The Amazon subsidiary has also created a “Law Enforcement Portal” that allows investigators to request home-security videos from residents through the app.

Since launching its Law

Enforcement Portal for the Neighbors App in the spring of 2018, the digital doorbell company has teamed up with more than 400 police departments across the United States.

The partnerships between local law enforcement and Ring raise concerns about—and about the creeping corporate sway on public policy. Privacy advocates sound alarms about Ring’s terms of service with police, warning that local law enforcement has become a promoter of an ecommerce monopolist that already has huge stockpiles of personal data, including groceries purchased, shows watched, books read, music enjoyed.

CORPORATE PR Under its agreements with San Jose and Santa Clara, Ring can control the content of press releases about the police departments’ partnerships with Ring. The company also expects to approve any Ring-related public service announcements from Santa Clara PD. Even SJPD’s social media posts are scripted by Ring. Gizmodo and Vice have reported similar PR arrangements between Ring and police departments in jurisdictions in other parts of the country.

“It’s very concerning when an enormous corporation is writing the

press releases for the government.

People think their police department is speaking, when in fact, it’s Amazon that’s speaking,” American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) attorney Jacob Snow says. “It’s using police departments as the mouthpiece for a giant corporation.”

Metro obtained records that illustrate the nature of the partnership between local agencies and the doorbell-surveillance company. In one of those documents, Angela Kang, who manages public agency partnerships for Ring, wrote in an email to SCPD that “all press release materials will need to be approved by our Ring PR team prior to publishing, so please submit all

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH SJPD Chief Eddie Garcia says the home-surveillance program will be a boon for solving tough crimes, like homicides. your drafts to media@ring.com.”

Kang sent SCPD four attachments of press release materials, including a “Press Release Template,” “Sample Social Media Posts,” “Talking Points and Reactive Q&A Sheet” and “Neighbors App Logo and Imagery.”

When this news organization asked Santa Clara police to include those attachments, they denied the request without offering any justification.

According to Dave Snyder, executive director of the San Rafael-based freespeech non-profit First Amendment Coalition, that’s a clear violation of the California Public Records Act (CPRA), which requires the government to disclose public records upon request and cite specific exemptions to the law in order to deny requests for information. A Santa Clara County

Civil Grand Jury slammed the city for the same offense earlier this summer.

As of press time, the city of Santa Clara had yet to respond to requests for what CPRA exemption justified its withholding of those Ringrelated attachments.

Per the terms of their contracts with Ring, police in San Jose and Santa Clara cannot disclose the terms of their video surveillance program with the company. But San Jose’s agreement with Ring includes a provision for requests made under the CPRA. To wit: “All records provided to the city

by Ring, and any records used by city pursuant to this memorandum of understanding (MOU) will be subject to disclosure as required by the California Public Records Act and the city Open Government Ordinance.”

13 Neighbors app. SCPD has a heat map of all active Ring cameras, though Ring’s training guide says the camera locations are “obscured for privacy.”

When police issue a request for video recordings, Ring sends out an alert on behalf of the police department to users in the vicinity of the crime, requesting video recordings with a personal message from a police officer.

Ring emailed SCPD crime analyst Suzanne Silva a demo alert saying, “Ring is assisting Crime Analyst Suzanne Silva of the Santa Clara Police Department in requesting videos that may help with an investigation of an incident that occurred near your home.”

Along with Ring’s statement is a message from Silva. “I’m reaching out in hopes of obtaining footage that may assist in our investigation of an incident that occurred in this neighborhood,” she wrote.

The alert ends with: “Stay safe, Ring Team.”

RINGING OFF Andrew Ferguson, author of The Rise of Big Data Policing, says everyone should be skeptical of Ring’s reach.

“We should pause when a private company is demanding editorial oversight of public press releases about public safety,” Ferguson says.

“That is an unusual move and seems to infringe on the question of who the city is working for and with.”

For his part, Garcia insists that he has the final stamp of approval when it comes to SJPD messaging. If Ring disagrees with his press releases and ultimately wishes to end its partnership, then so be it—he says he’ll severe ties with the company.

“I'm not going to have anybody blemish our brand,” Garcia says. “I know Ring wanted to have some say in [the press releases]. But nothing would get released if I didn’t approve it. If one day, they disagree with a press release I’m putting out and want to break the contract, then the partnership’s over.

We’re partners, but ultimately, the last say will not be theirs. We cannot allow a private company to dictate how [the] police department messages to the community.”

OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 5, 2019 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

Santa Clara’s MOU with Ring omits that CPRA clause. According to Snyder, that’s a problem. “It gives broad discretion to Ring to designate records as confidential,” he explains. “It appears to give a private entity the final say about what’s public and what’s not.

That’s improper. The Public Records Act makes clear that a government agency has an independent obligation to provide records and cannot put the public rights of access in the hands of a private company.”

San Jose police proved more forthcoming than their counterparts in Santa Clara. Records obtained from SJPD show that Ring sent the department fill-in-the-blank templates for its social media announcements on Facebook, Nextdoor and Twitter. And according to a review of the messaging, SJPD’s social media posts have largely mirrored Ring’s templates.

For example, Ring’s suggested tweet for SJPD reads: “The [Agency Name] is excited to join Neighbors by @Ring, a digital neighborhood watch app that sends you crime and safety alerts from your neighbors and the @[AgencyHandle]. Text ‘‘[TEXTCODE]’ to 555888 or click here: [CUSTOM LINK] to download the app for free & see what’s happening in your neighborhood.”

The San Jose Police tweet reads: “SJPD has joined the Neighbors app by @Ring, a digital neighborhood watch where we can send requests for assistance to help solve crimes and you receive alerts from your neighbors and @sanjosepd. Text ‘sjca’ to 555888 or click: http://download.ring.com/ sanjose to download the free app.”

A Ring representative, who asked to be identified only as a spokesperson for the company, wrote in an email that “Ring requests to look at press releases and any messaging prior to distribution to ensure our company and our products and services are accurately represented.” The Ring official wrote that police departments can use Ring’s social media templates at their discretion.

Meanwhile, Ring sent Santa Clara PD the “Neighbors Portal Training Guide” with instructions for the agency to comment and post on the

Another point of concern for privacy advocates is the lack of public oversight inherent in these kinds of contracts. “People in town have no say about the existence of the partnership,” Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) policy analyst Matthew Guariglia says. “It’s not being discussed in city council.”

That’s why the ACLU lobbied lawmakers to adopt its Community Control Over Police Surveillance (CCOPS) legislation in 2016, according to Snow—so elected leaders could evaluate police departments’ surveillance policies. That was the same year Santa Clara County adopted its Surveillance Technology and Community Safety Ordinance, which requires the Board of Supervisors to analyze and approve spy-tech policies of county departments. Cities including Palo Alto, San Francisco and Oakland have enacted similar local laws.

The cities of Santa Clara and San Jose have not.

Garcia acknowledges that San Jose city council members didn’t weigh in on SJPD’s partnership with Ring, a Santa Monica company acquired last year by Amazon for $1 billion. The chief, however, believes that a city surveillance ordinance is unnecessary. “The last thing we want in San Jose, especially with a lean department, is to frustrate our efforts even further,” Garcia says. “We’re just trying to keep our city safe and use the tools at our disposal.”

With Ring’s all-seeing eyes in the mix, he says the public is better off.

“When I was a homicide detective, I would go out and knock on doors, asking people for surveillance footage,” Garcia says. “This partnership with Ring will make the process more expeditious, and we will be able to put serious criminals off of our streets quicker. We want to leverage technology to help us keep our community safe.”

PUBLIC & PRIVATE Critics worried about Ring aiding and abetting Big Brother are overreacting, California Police Chief Association President Ronald Lawrence says. After all, this app simply expedites surveillance video requests for police departments.

“ACLU and their advocacy groups tend to spin this,” he argues.

“Police agencies have no desire to be in the 24/7 surveillance arena.

Furthermore, we don’t even have the resources. There’s no infrastructure.”

To those concerned about corporate overreach, Lawrence says that private companies have long done business with police departments. For example, Axon, the manufacturer of the Taser, is also one of the largest vendors of police body cameras; gun manufacturers Sig Sauer and Glock are major suppliers of firearms; telecom giant Motorola owns a large share of the radio infrastructure for police and fire departments across the nation.

As technology has evolved rapidly over the last decade, Lawrence says it’s prudent for police departments to partner with technology companies to upgrade their tools. The Neighborhood App is just the latest example in a long line of public and private policing partnerships.

Civil liberties groups have a history of thwarting the efforts of law enforcement to adopt modern technology, Lawrence continues, and Police Chief Association leaders are getting worried. Ring isn’t their first target, he notes. Civil liberties advocates successfully backed a bill to temporarily ban facial recognition in police body cams.

“We faced the same [problem] when Tasers first emerged. People said, ‘Oh my god, you can’t have that.’ Well the reality is, the use of police baton—a far more blunt instrument—decreased significantly,” Lawrence says. “We need to embrace technology.”

NEW NORMAL Privacy advocates say these kinds of privately penned, publicly adopted policies are becoming the new status quo. As Ring continues to expand its partnerships, Ferguson warns that Amazon is gaining unfettered access to people’s daily lives.

All over the world, consumers have voluntarily adopted smart speakers with always-on microphones—like the Amazon Echo and Google Home.

‘We should pause when a private company is demanding editorial oversight of public press releases about public safety.’

—ANDREW FERGUSON, Author of The Rise of Big Data Policing

For many San Jose residents, surveillance technology’s potentially chilling effect on crime overshadows concerns about personal privacy and government transparency. Vehicle break-ins, porch pirates and burglaries are on the rise. Robberies in San Jose spiked over 15 percent from 2017 to 2018. And violent crimes jumped more than 7 percent from 2018 to this year.

“Anyone that is against using cameras to deter crime and convict criminals has to reassess their values,” SAFER San Jose President Issa Ajlouny says. “People are sick and tired of the crime that’s going on on a daily basis.”

Case in point? Residents of a neighborhood in South San Jose recently voted to allocate almost $600,000 to install 300 surveillance cameras, and 900 San Jose residents

have also signed up for SJPD’s camera registry program, where residents and business owners register the locations of their surveillance cameras. Councilmember Pam Foley also launched the camera rebate program, where residents can receive up to $100 for installing surveillance cameras; in return, they must register with the camera registry program.

Garcia says SJPD’s Ring app will be more effective than the camera registry program. “We know where the cameras are, but detectives still have to physically go out to those neighborhoods to knock on doors, get the videos, ask the residents if they can have the videos,” Garcia says.

“With the Ring app, they can do it remotely from the office.”

Privacy advocates say the risks of surveillance overreach are too great to proceed with anything less than extreme caution. Lawmakers in San Jose, however, shrugged them off. Privacy advocates lobbied for a surveillance ordinance in 2014 after learning that SJPD quietly purchased a drone without any policy in place restricting its use—to no avail.

A year later, Mayor Sam Liccardo and Councilmen Johnny Khamis and Raul Peralez sought to place electronic readers on garbage trucks to scan license plates of cars parked on city streets. Derided as “Big Brother” and “Orwellian,” the 2015 proposal was consigned to the trash heap of failed ideas almost as quickly as it was floated.

“We met with San Jose council members,” Council on AmericanIslamic Relations (CAIR) consultant Sameena Usman says. “But there really wasn’t much movement. If we had a strong surveillance ordinance, we wouldn’t have had the drone or Ring problem. We need to have the public weigh in on such important decisions.”

At least San Jose seems to be moving in the right direction.

Earlier this fall, the City Council passed a set of “privacy principles” to guide San Jose’s data management.

“Before we draft the laws and regulations, we need a constitution,” Liccardo said. “That’s what we got.

We’ve got a good start, but this is only the first step.”

appliances are increasingly collecting information from sensors and beaming it to the cloud, where the data is stored and can potentially be correlated with personal profiles.

“Amazon is selling surveillance as a service,” Ferguson says. “They are building more and more information about all of us. We are normalizing ordinary surveillance, building networks of surveillance in certain neighborhoods that will have a chilling effect for people going about their business.”

OLD STANDBY Arguably the first cocktail ever made, the old fashioned stands the test of time.

True Original Served with seltzer or clear-cut ice, the old fashioned is the OG of cocktails

BY SYRUS FOTOVAT

I

N THE PANTHEON of cocktails, there is one undisputed grandaddy of them all—the namesake for the term “cocktail”—the old fashioned. The formula is quite simple, and yet unlike anything that came before it.

The cocktail, originally defined as a combination of alcohol, sugar and bitters, is now more than 200 years old. In the early days, the cocktail could be ordered with any base spirit.

There was the whiskey cocktail, the gin cocktail, the champagne cocktail (this one kept “cocktail” in the name). When “newer” drinks became

popular—the sour (alcohol, sugar, citrus), the fizz (alcohol, sugar, citrus, seltzer), the daisy (alcohol, liqueur, sugar, citrus, seltzer), and so on—a new nickname for the most popular of the first generation cocktails was coined. Whiskey with sugar and bitters became “the old fashioned.”

My obsession with cocktails began long before I started tending bar professionally. The old fashioned, the sazerac, the martini—these were focal points of my early 20s. I bought books and scoured the internet for the history of these classics on my quest to master them. Cobbling together information on how to stir and make syrups and what kind of

bitters I should buy, I finally ended up making the old fashioned I had seen in movies and read about in books like John Updike’s Rabbit, Run. I muddled some cherries and orange wheels and threw in some sugar. I didn’t exactly know what a “dash” of bitters was supposed to be, but I went for it anyway. I remember seeing soda water added in most iterations. This was the drink that was most pleasing to my young palate.

I have given the better part of a decade to cocktails and cocktail bars, and I have since learned that the old fashioned I enjoyed making and drinking more than 10 years ago is not exactly true to the primordial old fashioned.

Picture a nicely etched glass, a huge, clear block of ice and a large strip of orange peel. This clean, elegant version of the old fashioned is primarily found in cocktail bars, and in my experience, it’s a litmus test for cocktail enthusiasts.

The continued evolution of the old fashioned can be tasted at Haberdasher. Previously known as Single Barrel, it lays claim to the

title of first craft cocktail-focused bar in San Jose, and owner Cache Bouren has put the old fashioned on tap. After finding the right proportion of whiskey, sugar, water and bitters, the crew at Haberdasher is able to pour the classic in a fraction of the time it would normally take a barkeep to mix one.

Bouren says the process provides consistency and convenience, but also creates a talking point around the drink. Far from cheapening “the king of cocktails,” as Bouren calls the old fashioned, his process pays homage to the drink; it is now perfect for all who order it. I agree with his reasoning.

At Trials Pub, you can find what I would call an “old school” or perhaps mid-century take on the old fashioned. I’ve had many here since I was 22, so I know it’s the best counterpoint to the “craft cocktail” rendition. Thane Ferguson, bartender at Trials, has a particular connection to the drink that’s tied to nostalgia.

His great-grandfather drank old fashioneds, Groucho Marx drank old fashioneds, his older brother drank old fashioneds. For 20 years, Ferguson has prepared this cocktail in a very specific and distinctly layered way.

Muddle a cherry and orange wheel with a sugar cube. Add bitters, then ice, then whiskey. When served, the guest can stir the drink up to dissolve the sugar if they want it sweeter, or sip off the top for more bite.

Due to its long history and the ebb and flow of quality in bars over the decades, the old fashioned has many variants. To some, the muddled simplicity that was popular in the ’50s and ’60s is the true old fashioned. For many in the Midwest, the brandy old fashioned is a cultural mainstay. For the modern cocktail enthusiast, it’s a clean drink over a large block of ice. All delicious when made with a little bit of care.

Hailing from Australia’s Gold Coast, house music DJ and producer Fisher performs at the San Jose Civic on Halloween this Thursday. A professional surfer before he switched career paths in 2017, Fisher has produced a number of top-ranking club bangers, including “Ya Kidding,” “Crowd Control” and the international smash, “Losing It,” took the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart in 2018.

The spare track, which pulsates with gritty synth horns and a shuffling disco drum machine beat, was also recognized at this year’s International Dance Music Awards, where it was named “Best Electronic Song.” (KN)

After 12 years at its 88 S. 4th St. location, Kaleid Gallery is moving to new digs in the SoFA District.

The gallery will now be neighbors with Local Color, which moved into the Valley Title building at 320 S. 1st St., across from Original Joe’s, earlier this year. With two new feature exhibitions by Masha Noir and Jemal Diamond—and work from more than 60 Kaleid’s resident artists on display—Kaleid celebrates its new home by opening its doors for the South First Friday Art Walk on Nov. 1.

As a forensic psychologist with experience working on homicide, sexual assault and battery cases, author Frank Weber has a keen understanding of dark and violent human impulses.

Drawing on his experience in the field, Weber has penned three novels—Murder Book, The I-94 Murders and Last Call. Together they form the Minnesota Murder Trilogy. This Friday, Weber visits the Martin Luther King, Jr. Library to discuss the latest in the series, 2019’s Last Call, as well as the process of writing in the true crime genre. The discussion is to be held in room 255. (MS)

After three months of extensive renovation, downtown’s landmark Jose Theater is finally ready to reopen its doors. In addition to some cosmetic upgrades, the longtime home of the San Jose Improv Comedy Club now features state of the art sound and lighting, and a revamped menu to tickle your taste buds. To celebrate, this weekend the Improv welcomes the observational comedy of Mind of Mencia alumnus Brad Williams. Though diminutive in stature, Williams delivers his provocative views on sex, pop culture and identity politics at a volume that should really showcase the quality of the new speakers. (CA)

Like all art, comedy is subjective.

Some enjoy the bombastic and edgy, others prefer the aloof, the silly or the topical. For those who’ve ever wondered what Mitch Hedberg might have been like without all the drugs and alcohol, Joe Zimmerman might be the ticket. Easily mistaken for that shy office-mate you mostly avoid talking to, Zimmerman takes on the absurdities of modern life. “Working at the phone store must be the most stressful job in the world now,” Zimmerman mused during a 2018 set on The Late Late Show.

“Is there anyone more panicked than every customer?” (CA)

It must be a mixed bag to land a gig as a late-night 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.

The Cadillac Three is a trio of childhood friends with a knack for pairing sentimental lyrics and twangy licks with an undeniable country cool. Singer-guitarist Jaren Johnston, drummer Neil Mason and lap-steel player Kelby Ray released their last full-length, Legacy, back in 2017, but it seems they may be preparing a new collection of tunes; the crew dropped a new music video for their latest single, “Crackin’ Cold Ones with the Boys,” in April. They come to the South Bay behind the song, which features a stomping Gary Glitter beat and fuzzy ZZ Top guitars. (MS)

Anyone can let off a little steam singing in the shower. Close friends become closer while harmonizing around the campfire.

But the point of karaoke is to participate in a very public kind of catharsis—sharing one’s inner rock star with perfect strangers.

That’s why Steve Hays, a.k.a. DJ Purple, makes a point of keeping slow songs out of his songbook.

The Peninsula-based party-starter also encourages dancing and other forms of crowd participation during his sets. But his true secret weapon is his saxophone, which he busts out during extended instrumental breaks. (MS)

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 latest 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 tubebased musical instrument. To sum up, your days as a passive spectator are at an end! (JE)

UNCANNY Tony Oursler’s cheerfully demented ‘Slip’ on display at the SJMA’s group exhibition, ‘Almost Human.’

GHOST MACHINES SJMA’s group show, ‘Almost Human,’ renders emotion in pixels, LED

BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

T

HE ELECTRONIC SCULPTOR and LED artist Jim Campbell can dazzle an exhibition gallery with pulsing, gleaming lights. But in the San Jose Museum of Art’s survey of contemporary digital art, “Almost Human,” he’s represented by two pieces that are, if not unusually, then more transparently personal.

Photograph of My Mother and Portrait of My Father hang next to each other on the wall, the way that pictures do in the hallway of a family home.

Each sculpture is like a smaller, more intimate version of one of his typical

installations. They’re both animated in different ways. But with these pieces, you approach the subtleties of the work rather than letting the work surround you or take you in.

Campbell places a photograph of his mother and another of his father in separate glass and plastic frames. The images appear clearly and then repeatedly disappear in a manufactured fog. This ongoing cycle mimics the way we recall our loved ones when we’re separated from them. That idea is reinforced by the artist’s physical connection to his family. Campbell recorded his heartbeat and the rhythm of his breathing to correspond with

the temporary fog that returns to blur the images in their respective frames. His parents circle around in his memory, coming and going, but his breath and his bloodstream stay connected to them forever.

Tony Oursler’s work is born in a neighboring mad scientist’s laboratory where robots and humans collide. He takes a radically different path to achieve a hybrid form that borrows elements from both species.

You walk into a dark room to encounter his cheerfully demented Slip. His fiberglass sculpture—the size of a tall, chubby child—is cast in the shape of a capital “S” in reverse.

He casts one magnified eye into the upper and lower curves of the letter.

They look like a separated pair but could be the duplicated eye of a cyclops, blotchy red around the edges, blinking and wet. Oursler targets their sideways gaze directly at you but they look out and past you. These unseeing eyes are malfunctioning. They aren’t taking in any information. Between them, an enlarged mouth in the middle utters sibilant, unintelligible phrases. You can walk through

the projection and block out the distorted face with your body, but the disembodied, telltale voice persists.

Here are parts of the human anatomy assembled to invert their function and purpose. This uncomposed face can only convey nonsense.

In addition to the occasional android figurines (shout out to Alan Rath), three artists simulate a digital version of nature. Last year, Pace Gallery exhibited teamLab’s “Continuous Life and Death at the Now of Eternity,” which featured several video screens of vivid, floating flowers. In comparison, Petra Cortright’s 6_v211132013 is a digital still life. Nothing moves in her Photoshop “painting,” but because her image lives inside an HDTV screen, you keep expecting one of the floral shapes to drift, wilt or change colors.

The lovely, pale petals of Andrea Ackerman’s Rose Breathing do flutter open and wave, but her moving image isn’t ideally placed in the exhibit. It’s the first thing you see from the lobby but should be around the corner, sharing a darkened corner with Slip.

Jennifer Steinkamp’s Fly to Mars (no. 1) is a miraculous, gymnastic tree whose undulations stay in the brain after you walk away from it. Nearly lifesize, the tree of light is projected onto a wall. The branches sway up and down as if the tree were enjoying an afternoon gambol across a trampoline, its sedentary roots turned into agile toes, feet and legs. As the movement continues on a loop, the branches also cycle through the seasons, from bare winter to blossoms in spring. To create this effect, Steinkamp “rewrites 3D animation software code to create hyperreal animations.” Nature recapitulated like this suggests the beauty of what it’s imitating, but it also conveys the depressing quality of a specimen in a terrarium. Magritte got it right when he wrote, “Ceci n’est pas une pipe.” at the bottom of his painting, The Treachery of Images. These aren’t real flowers or trees, but I bet the robots in the room love the way they shimmer at night when the museum is lonely, cold and empty.

Romance Language THE FIRST THING to be said about Nine is that it is not going to be performed by Children’s Musical Theater any time soon. It was the doubleTony Award-winner in 1982 for best musical, and for best revival in 2003; it was also made into a widely disliked 2009 film, with Daniel Day-Lewis in the lead. It’s source is Federico Fellini’s 1962 8 ½ (the number of films he’d made up until then): the confessions of a famous director (Marcello Mastroiani, Fellini’s frequent surrogate) whose fascination with women warred with the Catholic guilt deep in his bones.

Produced and directed by the Guggenheims of 3Below Theaters & Lounge (Evan Scott, Stephen and Shannon), it’s set in Italy in the early ’60s. Guido Contini (Stephen) is in the doghouse. His long-suffering (but not fool-suffering) wife Luisa (Susan Gundunas) has had about enough of his roaming. “This is not Nine my idea of a successful marriage,” she says.

Guido broods on a neuftet of women who Thru Nov 10 inspired him or countered him, including his 3Below Theaters & mother (Michele Shannon), Luisa, the bad girls, the Lounge, San Jose collaborators, the churchly ones, the critics. And he 3belowtheaters.com imagines harmonizing his memories and fantasies of them all, like a conductor using his baton.

Guido and Luisa flee to Venice, where the maestro can work on a script, but he’s tracked down by everyone he’s running from, especially his hot mistress Carla (the fantastically slinky Becky Elizabeth Stout). In the euphemistically titled “A Call from the Vatican,” Carla gives him a call that should have melted the wires of the landline. Not distracted enough, Guido tracks down the star of his previous films, hoping she’ll inspire him again, but she, Claudia (Amy Bouchard) has moved on.

The musical’s showstopper is “Be Italian,” nationalistic advice to the boy Guido (Elijah Seid-Valencia) from the voluptious and lovable prostitute Saraghina (Krista Wigle). Wigle and the ensemble sold the song with force, but to an indifferent fan of this musical’s tunes, it seems strange Olive Garden hasn’t appropriated it for an ad campaign.

Elizabeth Palmer’s Liliane La Fleur—a French producer who seems to think that what Guido’s film needs is a bit more skin and dazzle— takes the cake for the “Folies Bergeres” number. Bedecked in a feather boa, Palmer works the front row as fearlessly as a Berlinese cabaret artist. Maybe it’s not Italianate and Venetian elements that work best in this colorful diversion but the Parisian style, yet this robust and sexy production is another success for the Guggenheims. —Richard von Busack

ENEMY LINES In ‘Jojo Rabbit,’ a young Hitler Youth recruit is caught between fantasy and reality.

Kid’s Crusade ‘Jojo Rabbit,’ the latest from Taika Waititi, gleefully skewers Nazi absurdities

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

S

OME PEOPLE ARE going to hate Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit like they haven’t hated anything since Life is Beautiful. Understandably, some will argue that Nazis are never funny under any circumstances, no matter what ridiculous figures they cut with their rites, their idiot prejudices and their toocool Hugo Boss uniforms.

Mel Brooks, who dodged German

fire at the Battle of the Bulge, was always certain Nazis make for comedy gold. Even in these nervous times, can’t we accept Brooks’ judgement?

Jojo Rabbit is the diary of a wimpy Nazi kid. Trying to negotiate the usual societal absurdities, as well as the heightened absurdities of the Reich. In a small village in 1944, young Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis) is trying to be a good little Hitler Youth. But he’s a thorough reject, drawing a portion of the scorn doled out by the Jugend’s scoutmaster, an invalided-out

Captain Klenzendorf (Sam Rockwell, great).

At camp, Jojo shares a tent with his equally beta-male pal (Archie Yates), laying awake and telling scary stories about Jews: “I hear they smell like Brussels sprouts.”

Then comes a test of manhood: kill a bunny rabbit with his bare hands in front of his fellow Jugenders. He fails. Dejected, he is visited by his imaginary friend, Der Fuhrer (Waititi in contact lenses and shaky mustache), who gives him fatherly advice. The boy has a speculative idea of Hitler, imagining him as a smoker, which he wasn’t, and a meat eater who dines on yummy stuffed roast unicorn heads. Adolph tells Jojo to buck up, advising him to be the rabbit—faster than anyone. Jojo then bolts to the vanguard of a footrace, snatches a potato-masher hand grenade from a bigger boy and tosses it. It bounces off a tree and blows up in his face.

With a face stitched up and scarred, he’s an even bigger reject to all but

his mom Rosie—a very relaxed and appealing Scarlett Johansson, with a buttery Marlene Dietrich accent.

The convalescing Jojo learns that there’s another woman living at his home. Mom is secretly AnneFranking a friend of the family in the attic. Young Elsa corners the boy with the Hitler Youth knife he wasn’t supposed to lose, but soon they become pals. For laughs, she schools simple Jojo on the Jews: Do they hang upside like bats when they sleep? Can they read each others’ minds? As Elsa, Tomasin MacKenzie is consistently unsentimental and un-self-pitying.

Both Elsa and Rosie’s amused solicitude with this backward, fatherless kid is charming.

Moreover, they set up a border between the realm of the preposterous macho Nazis and the far more mysterious and interesting world of women. As in John Boorman’s Hope and Glory, all the comfort and intelligence is on one side and all the pain and stupidity is on the other. To add some yang to this yin, there is a female Nazi, Frauline Rahmi (Rebel Wilson), who has birthed more than a dozen babies for the Reich; Wilson suggests with her posture that she can’t sit comfortably after all that parturition.

This uproariously satirical version of a quite serious novel might be modeled on Carol Reed’s film, The Fallen Idol (1948) in the looming staircases and the expressionism of the boy’s world collapsing around him. Like Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople, it’s certainly something you could take a smart older child to see. Certain aspects are reminiscent of Kurt Vonnegut’s SlaughterhouseFive and Mother Night. This elegantly turned if sometimes episodic comedy is as Blaise Pascal described life: the last act is bloody, no matter how pleasant the play has been.

There’s no comfortable way out of the tale, and the rocky, final 15 minutes will give Jojo Rabbit’s haters ammo. Still, maybe nothing was as funny about the Nazis as their scurrying, ignominious end.

THE POD From left, Demone Carter, David Ma and Nate LeBlanc record an episode of ‘Dad Bod Rap Pod.’

Dad Rap Local podcast ‘Dad Bod Rap Pod’ takes deep dives into hip-hop history

BY NICK VERONIN

E

PISODE 91 OF Dad Bod Rap Pod, opens with co-host Demone Carter lamenting the state of rap-oriented academia. “I like legit hip-hop books,” he tells his fellow podcasting crew— David Ma and Nate LeBlanc.

“There’s a lot of shitty ones.”

Carter continues the banter with an anecdote about the kinds of rap biographies typically found in the young adult section of the public library, where he recently discovered a very short book on Kendrick Lamar.

“It’s the type of book you would read in fourth grade because you had to do a fuckin’ book report,” he quips.

For their part, Ma and LeBlanc, agree. All three are dyed-in-the-wool hip-hop heads who would like to see rap music treated with the respect it deserves. Depending on who you ask, the genre is somewhere between 40 and 50 years old. And given that hip-hop has been a mainstream musical force since at least the late ’70s, there are now three generations of demographically distinct Americans—Gen X-ers, Millennials and Gen Z-ers—who grew up or

are now coming of age listening to commercial rap.

“In the music section of any bookstore, there are hundreds of books on rock & roll. … There are like 50 books on John Coltrane,” Ma says. “Scholarly attention to the history of hip-hop is long overdue.”

While there certainly have been serious studies of hip-hop, including author Jeff Chang’s Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop and We Gon’ Be Alright, the Dad Bod Rap Pod is at the vanguard of brainy podcasts focused on the genre.

As it turns out, on this particular episode, Carter is winding up to introduce the author of a forthcoming deep dive into an under-documented chapter of hip-hop history.

Goin’ Off: The Story of the Juice Crew and Cold Chillin’ Records, is by author Ben Merlis, the guest of DBRP episode 91. Featuring a forward by the San Jose-bred DJ and boutique record label owner Peanut Butter Wolf, Goin’ Off will be released later this month as part of the RPM series on historically important independent

music labels, published by German record company BMI. Hip-hop scholars and journalists are common guests on the podcast, which Carter, Ma and LeBlanc have been recording for about two years now. Two weeks ago, on Episode 90, the crew interviewed Shawn Setaro, a senior staff writer for Complex, who has recently been covering the trial of one of hip-hop’s most divisive figures, Tekashi 69.

Ma also uses his connections as a music journalist to secure emcees and DJs. Kool Keith, Del the Funkee Homosapien, Open Mike Eagle and Ant (from Atmosphere) have all been guests on the show.

The podcast grew organically out of conversations the three would have on a regular basis over beers. “We have these sort of nerdy conversations anyways,” Ma says, explaining the show’s inception. “We thought we might as well record.”

As a music writer, Ma’s insights are rounded out by those of Carter—a local rapper who goes by the name Dem One—and LeBlanc, a longtime record collector. Ma and LeBlanc have a history of working together as DJs on the local club circuit; they also co-founded Needle to the Groove Records, the independent record label that they run out of the Needle to the Groove record shop in San Jose (the shop has a separate ownership group). Dad Bod Rap Pod is taped at the shop’s adjacent recording studio.

Moving forward, Ma says he and his collaborators look forward to growing the podcast, which already enjoys a global following and is nearing a milestone—its 100th weekly episode.

In the process, Ma hopes his podcast will further legitimize the academic study of hip-hop music and culture. It only makes sense. Although it took a while for critics to take jazz and rock & roll seriously, eventually fans of every genre grow up and take control of the levers of society.

“We’re at a point where there is dad rap,” Ma says.

Must Sees

OCT 30–NOV 7 | “THESE WERE DAYS WHEN MY HEART WAS VOLCANIC.” As October meets its end, the works of Edgar Allan Poe come to mind. Poe is known for ravens and the macabre; however, this line comes from “Ulalume”—one of his more endearing and sentimental pieces. The guy clearly had some heart in all that darkness.

There’s quite a lot going on this week. Pull out your calendar and let’s fill it up with things to do. On Wednesday, my fellow poets laureate, Nils Peterson and Sally Ashton, will share works at the King Library downtown. You have so many choices this Halloween! Might I recommend a little naughty nightcap? This Thursday, Circus of Sin’s “Ghouls Gone Wild” will surely be the best free show and costume party in the South Bay. November begins with South FIRST FRIDAYS #ArtWalk starting at 7pm in venues and galleries all over San Jose’s SoFA District.

All weekend Rooster T. Feathers has comedians Caitlin Weierhauser and Paul Green opening for Joe Zimmerman. I am telling you, Caitlin is one of the funniest human beings I have ever met. They are on their way to big things, so check them out in one of the best intimate comedy venues in the Bay. These events and more in my list below and beyond. = MUST SEE

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY fulfilling the wishes and answering the prayers of your allies? Have you developed a capacity to tune in to what people want even when they themselves aren't sure of what they want? Do you sometimes have a knack for offering just the right gesture at the right time to help people do what they haven't been able to do under their own power? If you possess any of those aptitudes, now is an excellent time to put them in play. More than usual, you are needed as a catalyst, a transformer, an inspirational influence. Halloween costume suggestion: angel, fairy godmother, genie, benefactor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Author Amy Tan describes the magic moment when her muse appears and takes command: "I sense a subtle shift, a nudge to move over, and everything cracks open, the writing is freed, the language is full, resources are plentiful, ideas pour forth, and to be frank, some of these ideas surprise me. It seems as though the universe is my friend and is helping me write, its hand over mine."

Even if you're not a creative artist, Taurus, I suspect you'll be offered intense visitations from a muse in the coming days. If you make yourself alert for and receptive to these potential blessings, you'll feel like you're being guided and fueled by a higher power.

Halloween costume suggestion: your muse.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): More than a century ago, author Anton Chekhov wrote, "If many remedies are prescribed for an illness, you may be certain that the illness has no cure." Decades later, I wrote, "If you're frantically trying to heal yourself with a random flurry of half-assed remedies, you'll never cure what ails you. But if you sit still in a safe place and ask your inner genius to identify the one or two things you need to do to heal, you will find the cure."

Halloween costume suggestion: physician, nurse, shaman, healer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian artist Marc

Chagall (1887-1985) was a playful visionary and a pioneer of modernism. He appealed to sophisticates despite being described as a dreamy, eccentric outsider who invented his own visual language. In the 1950s, Picasso observed that Chagall was one of the only painters who "understood what color really is." In 2017, one of Chagall's paintings sold for $28.5 million. What was the secret to his success?

"If I create from the heart, nearly everything works," he testified. "If from the head, almost nothing." Your current assignment, Cancerian, is to authorize your heart to rule everything you do. Halloween costume suggestion: a heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Dead Sea, on the border

of Jordan and Israel, is far saltier than the ocean.

No fish or frogs live in it. But here and there on the lake's bottom are springs that exude fresh water.

They support large, diverse communities of microbes.

It's hard for divers to get down there and study the life forms, though. The water's so saline, they tend to float. So they carry 90 pounds of ballast that enables them to sink to the sea floor. I urge you to get inspired by all this, Leo. What would be the metaphorical equivalent for you of descending into the lower depths so as to research unexplored sources of vitality and excitement? Halloween costume suggestions: diver, spelunker, archaeologist.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "We have stripped all

things of their mystery and luminosity," lamented psychologist Carl Jung. "Nothing is holy any longer."

In accordance with current astrological omens, Virgo, your assignment is to rebel against that mournful state of affairs. I hope you will devote some of your fine intelligence to restoring mystery and luminosity to the world in which you dwell. I hope you will find and create holiness that's worthy of your reverence and awe. Halloween costume suggestion: mage, priestess, poet, enchantrix, witch, alchemist, sacramentalist.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "One language is never enough," says a Pashto proverb. How could it be, right? Each language has a specific structure and a finite vocabulary that limit its power to describe and understand the world. I think the same is true for religion: one is never enough. Why confine yourself to a single set of theories about spiritual matters when more will enable you to enlarge and deepen your

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do you have any skill in

By ROB BREZSNY week of October 30

perspective? With this in mind, Libra, I invite you to regard November as "One Is Never Enough Month" for you. Assume you need more of everything.

Halloween costume suggestion: a bilingual Jewish Santa Claus; a pagan Sufi Buddha who intones prayers in three different languages.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In his novel Zone One,

Scorpio author Colson Whitehead writes, "A monster is a person who has stopped pretending." He means it in the worst sense possible: the emergence of the ugly beast who had been hiding behind social niceties. But I'm going to twist his meme for my own purposes. I propose that when you stop pretending and shed fake politeness, you may indeed resemble an ugly monster—but only temporarily. After the suppressed stuff gets free rein to yammer, it will relax and recede—and you will feel so cleansed and relieved that you'll naturally be able to express more of your monumental beauty. Halloween costume suggestion: your beautiful, fully exorcised monster.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice," testified poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. "Had I abided by it, I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes." This is excellent advice for you.

I suspect you're in the midst of either committing or learning from a valuable mistake. It's best if you don't interrupt yourself! Halloween costume suggestion: the personification or embodiment of your valuable mistake.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Cleopatra was an

ancient Egyptian queen who ruled for 21 years. She was probably a Capricorn. All you need to know about her modern reputation is that Kim Kardashian portrayed her as a sultry seductress in a photo spread in a fashion magazine. But the facts are that Cleopatra was a well-educated, multilingual political leader with strategic cunning. Among her many skills were poetry, philosophy, and mathematics.

I propose we make the real Cleopatra your role model. Now is an excellent time to correct people's misunderstandings about you—and show people who you truly are. Halloween costume suggestion: your actual authentic self.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Around the eleventh

hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the eleventh sign of the zodiac, Aquarius, will be capable of strenuous feats; will have the power to achieve a success that surpasses past successes; will be authorized to attempt a brave act of transcendence that renders a longstanding limitation irrelevant.

As for the eleven days and eleven hours before that magic hour, the eleventh sign of the zodiac will be smart to engage in fierce meditation and thorough preparation for the magic hour. And as for the eleven days and eleven hours afterward, the eleventh sign should expend all possible effort to capitalize on the semi-miraculous breakthrough. Halloween costume suggestion: eleven.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Robert Musil made a surprising declaration: "A number of flawed individuals can often add up to a brilliant social unit."

I propose we make that one of your mottos for the coming months. I think you have the potential to be a flawed but inspiring individual who'll serve as a dynamic force in assembling and nurturing a brilliant social unit. So let me ask you: What would be your dream come true for a brilliant social unit that is a fertile influence on you and everyone else in the unit? Halloween costume suggestion: ringleader, mastermind, orchestrator or general.

Homework: "Be homesick for wild knowing," wrote Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Try that out.
