ONE TOKE OVER THE LINE Two innocent teens succumb to the degenerate lure of reefer in San Jose Stage Company’s new show.

World of Weed WHEN IT COMES to a cult film like Reefer Madness, one wonders what more can be explored in an already absurdl collection of cautionary marijuana tales.

Luckily, the San Jose Stage Company finds something new by embracing something old: the original script of the 1936 film itself, to which it shows commendable loyalty. Reefer Madness: The Musical, by Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney, brings to life the uproarious and downright farcical story of a young man’s descent into marijuana-induced lunacy with a multitalented cast, fantastic choreography, and an immersive and smoky setting where one almost feels a contact high.

Reefer Madness The show opens with a “lecture” on a drug called Wednesday– “marihuana,” presented by the erudite but charismatic Thursday, 7:30pm, narrator (Galen Murphy-Hoffman). The audience is Friday–Saturday, introduced to a pair of wholesome teenagers, Jimmy and 8pm, and Sunday, Mary (Barnaby James and Courtney Hatcher). The story 2pm; $16.50–$45 then jumps to the so-called Reefer Den, where we meet Mae (Allison F. Rich), a sultry hostess who is bound to San Jose Stage her abusive boyfriend, Jack (Gabriel Grilli), through her Company addiction to the substance.

Next comes a visit to the soda fountain, where the youth enjoy the controversial “race” music—i.e., jazz—of the time and where Jack trolls for potential victims. Jack takes Jimmy to the Reefer Den, where they meet a zany collection of people, including Sally (Jill Miller), an irresponsible and outlandish mother, and Ralph (Will Springhorn Jr.), whose messy clothing and behavior are typical of a marijuana user. Once Jimmy gets a taste for the reefer, his world goes spiraling out of control.

Stage Company’s ability to translate a loud and frenetic musical into an intimate setting was astounding. The song routines were seamlessly choreographed, with the solid background band incorporated into the show (at several points, cast members pass joints to the backing band, cleverly breaking the fourth wall). The cast members are strong in acting, dancing and singing—and quick costume changes. Stand-outs include the narrator (MurphyHoffman), and Jack/Jesus (Grilli). Both actors superbly capture the preposterous confidence their characters demand, while still maintaining the subtle agreement between cast and audience about the silly premise of the show.

The clever conceit behind Reefer Madness:The Musical is to keep all of the original silliness but to add phenomenal acting and singing. That happy result is that this entertaining homage could well keep this old and misguided cautionary tale alive for another generation or two. Reefer Madness has finally gotten its own, and desperately needed, fix.—Tad Malone

CONCERT

Bad Veins IN 2009, Cincinnati indie-rock duo Bad Veins seemed to come from out of nowhere. They had released their self-titled debut LP on Dangerbird Records with much fanfare and were suddenly the talk of the music blogosphere. In reality, however, they had been honing their craft for a couple years.

They didn’t exactly blow up the way people were expecting, even though the album was worthy of the buzz it got. Singer Benjamin Davis’ songwriting mixes elements of solemn, heartfelt Friday, June 14; rock and nervous post-punk. Their performances, 8pm; free though, delivered the real magic. Davis played keys and guitars while Sebastian Schultz backed him up on drums.

Cafe Stritch, The third “member” was Irene, a reel-to-reel tape machine San Jose that played additional backing tracks in their live sets. It was part spectacle, but with good music.

After Bad Veins released last year’s superior sophomore album, The Mess We Made, on Modern Outsider, the band went through some changes: Schultz quit and was replaced by Jake Bonta. As they embark on their first major tour together (including a stop at Cafe Stritch on Friday), Bonta and Davis hope that their future will build on what the previous incarnation of the band had been working toward.

“I think that Bad Veins hasn’t reached the peak yet,” Bonta says, “We’re very close to becoming the band that everyone thought that we were going to become back in 2009.”

Davis and Bonta actually met via YouTube. When Schultz quit, Davis thought it would be impossible to find another drummer as energetic as he was, so he announced that he would be making Bad Veins into a full band, not just a duo. That is until one of Davis’ friends showed him videos of Bonta rocking out to random songs in his room on YouTube. Davis contacted Bonta and asked if he’d like to audition for Bad Veins. Bonta didn’t know who Bad Veins were but gave it a shot. Less than a week later, they were playing their first show together.

Part of what makes their unusual lineup work, is that according to Bonta, they still have the basic essentials that gives a band character. “I think the two biggest aspects in the band that make you go, ‘Whoa that’s a good band,’ are the vocals and the drummer. That’s where the performance and excitement come from onstage,” Jake says.—Aaron Carnes

The power of laughter can get a little oversold. Laughter does seem to be pretty good medicine for relationships— assuming a guy’s attempt to make a woman laugh doesn’t make her hold a grudge. Researchers have found that the ability to be funny is correlated with high intelligence—a plus in a partner—and with what cognitive psychologist Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman deems the “Woody Allen effect,” the possibility for even geeky-looking guys to get and hang on to girlfriends.

As for why your boyfriend pulled this stunt, the phrase “Seemed like a good idea at the time” comes to mind.

A guy can get so caught up in making authentically gruesome char marks on his arm that he never considers how hilarious you’re likely to find it when the man you love appears to be lying dead

on your kitchen floor.

As for your inability to forgive him, it probably feels “safer” to cling to your grudge because it puts distance between you and the potential for future hurt.

Unfortunately, it also distances you from the good stuff—love, affection, connection and the continuation of your relationship.

To decide whether to break up with your grudge or your boyfriend, ask yourself a few questions: Does he now understand why you were so upset?

Is this number 3,024 in a long line of painful idiocies or just a one-time painfully stupid thing? And outside of when he’s pretending to have died horribly, does he show you he cares about your feelings and well-being? Unless you have reason to believe Faked Death: The Sequel or other major insensitivities will pop up in your future, it’s probably time to give that grudge you’ve been holding a pat on the butt and a bag lunch and send it on its way.

Now, Flotsam and Jetsam here aren’t without their merits, such as how being with one endears you to the other— much in the way stomach flu must make you long for strep throat. And if, as a little girl, you lay awake imagining yourself being shuffled between an untrustworthy bad lover and a man with a girlfriend, well then, congrats— you’re living your dream. Otherwise,

perhaps you’ve forgotten something: You have freedom of choice and lots of men out there to choose from.

Of course, for freedom of choice to work, you actually have to choose— have standards and not drop them and your panties every time a bad deal texts you that it wants to come over.

No, it won’t be “easy.” It’s just what you have to do if you want more—like a guy who can’t wait to see you, and not because his girlfriend’s yoga class is only 45 minutes or he’s hot to make up for violating your trust with some unsatisfying sex.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF PETITION ADMINISTER ESTATE OF NORMA SARA SUTTER CASE NO. 113PR172648 To all heirs beneficiaries creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of NORMA SARA SUTTER. A Petition for Probate has been filed by CARRIE ANN SMITH in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA CLARA. THE PETITION for PROBATE requests that CARRIE ANN SMITH be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority willallow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: on July 3, 2013 at 9 a.m. in Dept. 3 located at 191 NORTH FIRST STREET, SAN JOSE, CA, 95113. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state our objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request

for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Brinsley Sheridan didn’t confine his lyrical wit to well-crafted poems on the printed page. He used it to say things that would advance his practical ambitions. For example, when he first met the woman who would eventually become his wife, he said to her, “Why don’t you come into my garden? I would like my roses to see you.” That’s the kind of persuasive power I hope you will summon in the coming days, Aries.

According to my analysis of the omens, you should have it in abundance. So what’s the best use of this mojo? Is there anything you would really like to sell?

What new resources do you want to bring into your sphere? Who do you want to convince?

TAURUS (April 20–May 20): In The Book of the

Damned, Charles Fort revealed one of the secrets of power. He said that if you want power over something, you should be more real than it. What does that mean? How do you become real in the first place, and how do you get even more real?

Here’s what I think: Purge your hypocrisies and tell as few lies as possible. Find out what your deepest self is like—not just what your ego is like—and be your deepest self with vigorous rigor. Make sure that the face you show the world is an accurate representation of what’s going on in your inner world.

If you do all that good stuff, you will eventually be as real and as powerful as you need to be.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20): Long after the artist

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani died, his paintings sold for millions of dollars. But while alive, he never got rich from doing what he loved to do. He expressed frustration about the gap between his ambitions and his rewards. “I do at least three paintings a day in my head,” he said. “What’s the use of spoiling canvas when nobody will buy anything?” I hope you don’t arrive at a comparable conclusion, Gemini. It’s crucial that you not keep your good ideas bottled up in your imagination. You need to translate them into practical actions, even if there’s no immediate or obvious benefit in doing so. Expressing yourself concretely has rarely been more important than it is right now.

assed attitudes. 2.) Make deeper penetration. Don’t be satisfied with surfaces. 3.) Raise the vibration.

Isn’t it a waste of precious life energy to mope around in a sour and shriveled frame of mind?

4.) Appreciate appreciation. Treat gratitude as an emotion of the same caliber as joy. 5.) Cultivate ecstatic silliness. Develop a blissful ability to take everything less seriously. 6.) Drink the awe. Allow astonishment to seep in. (More: tinyurl.com/morford joy.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): From an astrological perspective, now would be a good time to go on a meditation retreat for a few days or make a pilgrimage to your ancestral homeland. You would generate just the right shifts in your brain chemistry by doing something like that. Other recommended adventures: reviewing the story of your entire life from your first memory to the present moment; writing a brief letter to the five people you have loved best, telling them why you’ve loved them; spending a day outside of time, when you don’t consult a clock or use electronic media for the duration.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): Sagittarius comedian Steven Wright says he took a class in speed waiting. “Now I can wait an hour in only 10 minutes,” he brags. I think you will have the same knack in the coming days, Sagittarius. Your patience is likely to be much more effective than usual. Results will come faster and they’ll be more intense. The only catch is that you will really have to be calm and composed and willing to wait a long time. It won’t work if you’re secretly antsy and only pretending to be imperturbable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): Let the

boundaries blur a bit, Capricorn. Don’t stick too rigidly to the strict definitions. Play around with some good old-fashioned fuzzy logic. The straight facts and the precise details are important to keep in mind, but you shouldn’t cling to them so ferociously that they stifle your imagination. You need to give yourself enough slack to try open-ended experiments. You’ll be smart to allow some wobble in your theories and a tremble in your voice. Magic will happen if there’s plenty of wiggle room.

CANCER (June 21–July 22): In 1967, dissidents dreamed up a novel way to protest America’s horrific Vietnam War. They marched to the Pentagon, the military’s headquarters, and performed an exorcism to purge the place of its evil. With the power of songs and chants, they invoked magic spells designed to levitate the 6.5-million-square-feet building into the air. Their plan didn’t quite work in a literal way—the Pentagon remained firmly fixed to the ground—but the legend they spawned was potent. When I heard about it years later, it inspired me to become an activist. I see myth-making as a worthy goal for you right now, Cancerian. Dream up an epic task or project that will fuel your imagination for a long time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): ”One should be light like a bird, and not like a feather,” said French poet Paul Valery. How do you interpret that thought, Aquarius? In the book The Science of Self-Control, here’s how Howard Rachlin expands on Valery’s idea: “We need to be spontaneous, but only in the context of some framework that allows us to attain higher levels of spontaneity; a feather is a slave to the wind, while a bird uses the wind.” Take heed, Aquarius!

Your creative flights will go further and last longer if you have a solid foundation to take off from.

LEO (July 23–Aug. 22): In 1926, surrealist artist Max Ernst painted The Blessed Virgin Chastising the Infant Jesus in Front of Three Witnesses. It shows Mary vigorously spanking her son as he lies on her lap. Nowadays, the image doesn’t seem nearly as scandalous as it did when it first appeared. Even some Christians I know find it amusing, welcoming the portrayal of Jesus as a genuine human being with lessons to learn. What would be your equivalent of creating a cheeky image like this, Leo? How could you achieve cathartic release by being irreverent toward something or someone you respect? I recommend it.

(See the image: tinyurl.com/SpankingJesus.)

Day. Tomorrow, too, and the next day, and the two days after that. During these five Sigh-Days, you should feel free to let out big, deep sighs at a higher rate than usual. Allow yourself to be filled up with poignant thoughts about life’s paradoxical mysteries.

Give yourself permission to be overwhelmed with emotions that are midway between lamentation and reverent amazement. For even better results, indulge in some free-form moaning during your five SighDays. That’ll help you release your full backlog of tension and give you more appreciation for the crazy beauty of your fate. (P.S. Try not to whine, though.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): It’s prime time to

promote cross-cultural liaisons and interspecies relationships, Virgo. I encourage you to experiment with hybrids and facilitate the union of diverse interests. You will be working in alignment with cosmic trends if you strengthen the connections between influences that belong together, and even between influences that don’t know they belong together. So see what you can do to facilitate conversations between Us and Them. Negotiate peace treaties between Yes and No. Look for legitimate ways to compare apples and oranges.

LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): Gonzo columnist Mark Morford wrote a list of liberated behaviors he wants to cultivate. Since you’re in the emancipatory phase of your yearly cycle, I invite you to try some of his strategies. 1.) Have a gentler grip. Let go of tight-
