Hate-filled ranter downtown on Paseo de San Antonio: Don't you know that Jesus is love? I'm not even a Christian and I know this. Jesus ministered to the sick, the unloved, the people society at that time considered to be just about non-human: lepers and prostitutes. Yet you stand there on your high horse (a box actually) ranting and spitting hate against the very people Jesus gave love to. And, I'm pretty sure the First Amendment doesn't mean you get a loud-ass amp to spread your hatepollution further. You are an eyesore and an earsore, and are doing nothing for our quickly revitalizing downtown.

Paper Plane Takes Off

T

HE NAMES Original Gravity and Paper Plane almost sound like opposing ideas, but these neighboring spots share a co-owner and in a sense, a concept: drinks and bar bites. Paper Plane serves barrel-aged and handcrafted cocktails, house-made punches and a well-rounded menu of elaborate small plates. Metro sat down with co-owners Dan Phan and George Lahlouh to discuss what makes their new establishment different.

METRO: WHAT'S TO EAT? DAN PHAN: People are loving the chicken and waffle sliders, chicharron and the tater totem, which is house-made tater tots, candied bacon and cheddar and mascarpone cheeses, one of the many creations by our chef, Andre Nguyen.

WHAT'S TO DRINK? GEORGE LAHLOUH: We have three categories of cocktails, signature, old school and new school. One of our signature drinks is the "spice of life," a mix of aquavit, coccho Americano, lime, cucumber soda and a house spice mix. It's funky and vegetal. We're also barrel aging spirits and cocktails. We're infusing these spirits and cocktails with barrel characteristics of wood, vanilla and oak, which gives them more depth and volume. Any kind of angle we can play with a cocktail concept, we're going to play with it. We love to experiment.

TELL ME ABOUT THE PUNCHES. GL: We wanted to provide a quicker solution for people who don't want to wait around for four hand-crafted cocktails on a busy Friday or Saturday night. The two signature punches we have on tap are Full Moon, which is rum, applejack brandy, velvet falernum, campari, cranberry, fresh-squeezed orange juice and ginger ale, and Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire, which is tequila, mezcal, port, lapsong sochung tea, grapefruit, ancho chile, spices and ginger beer. DP: This isn't jungle juice; a lot of thought goes into it. GL: We build the punches on oleo saccharum, which means oil sugar in Latin. We prepare large batches of citrus peels with sugar and let them sit and muddle for about 12 hours. The oil breaks down the sugar and creates a base that provides a floral and super-aromatic note to the punches. We'll eventually be rolling out 4 to 6 punches on tap.

WHAT INSPIRED THE NAME PAPER PLANE? GL: If you think of a paper plane, it's a simple concept or it can also have an over-engineered, technical design, but it's always important not to take it too seriously. That's very much what we're all about at Paper Plane, where we can get together with this simple concept of good atmosphere, good food and technically designed drinks, but it's important to not take ourselves too seriously at the end of the day.

FOR THE FORUM Demone Carter, MALI program coordinator, and Nelly Torres, events coordinator, School of Arts and Culture at the Mexican Heritage Plaza, will bring the Art/Life Forum to the Plaza.

Leading Roles WHEN Demone Carter broadened his job description from rapper to rapper/youth arts mentor a decade ago, he was struck by the alarming lack of multicultural leadership in the nonprofit world. A few years later, a study confirmed that observation: fewer than 10 percent of nonprofits are led by people of color. The statistics look worse for boards of directors.

“At the end of the day, experience is the ultimate authoriThe Art/Life Forum ty,” he says. “When you have folks in leadership positions that only represent one set of experiences, the decisions that they April 25, 8:30ammake and the leadership style is always going to be tone deaf 4:30pm to certain aspects of our community.”

The School of Arts That’s the impetus behind the Multicultural Arts Leadand Culture at ership Institute (MALI), a series of classes offered through Mexican Heritage Mexican Heritage Plaza that aim to foster diversity in Silicon Plaza, San Jose Valley’s arts community. Come April 25, MALI will host its Free malisv.org inaugural Art/Life Forum to showcase some of that work through a series of panels, workshops and live entertainment.

“This is our coming-out party, in a way,” Carter says. “We’ve been around for seven years, really strengthening local artists and training leaders and this is our first time holding this public event to show people what we’re about.”

Carter, a MALI alum himself, has seen the program’s graduates take on influential roles in the South Bay’s creative community. Wisa Uemura stepped up as executive director of San Jose Taiko. Yosimar Reyes became a nationally known poet and activist. Elisa Orona, an administrator for Asian Americans for Community Involvement, was named one of Silicon Valley Business Journal’s “Women of Influence 2014.”

In 2012, Carter founded Future Arts Now, an after-school program that connects underserved youth with adult role models who excel at an art form, whether it’s breakdancing or spoken word or rapping.

“As we’re growing, I’ve noticed that these groups are starting to become more connected and more collaborative and folks are really pushing to make their mark here in Silicon Valley, in San Jose,” he says. “I see more of an organic, hands-on growth in the multicultural arts scene. People of color are participating more and taking charge of this.”

Stanford University lecturer Kevin McCarthy, a senior associate at leadership consulting firm Change Logic, will deliver the forum’s keynote speech. Workshop topics include one on the art of schmoozing, another on successful creative collaborations and how to tell your project’s story.

“San Jose, Silicon Valley, we’re among the last urban places where you can still make a mark because it doesn’t have as established an art scene the way Oakland or San Francisco does,” he says. “We want to seize that moment by making sure the leadership positions on the ground floor represent the cultural diversity of this region. Let’s get everybody to the table, let’s make sure everybody’s voice is heard.”

WANDERING EYE Amateur photographer Vivian Maier chronicled everyday life, but guarded her own identity, changing names and location fairly frequently.

SMALLL TIME SMAL

Photo Finish THE ALOOF meets the Maloof in Finding Vivian Maier, John Maloof’s account of the detective work he did to learn more about the woman whose photographs he discovered in a locker. Vivian Maier never exhibited her photos and home movies, shot from World War II to the 1970s. Some of the immense volume of work is harderedged versions of the photojournalism that made Life magazine sometimes indelible, sometimes trite; other pieces are compassionate, invaluable images of people on the margins, taken by a brave photographer. Her best work is as good as the photography of Weegee or Gordon Parks.

Maier was a mystery, and the mosaic-like fragments people remember make up this investigation.

Born in New York, Maier considered herself French. Her mother was from Alsace. She dressed functionally, mannishly. In the self portraits, the angles change; she’s sometimes as horsey as Nancy “Miss Hathaway” Culp, and she’s sometimes as handsome as actress Rachel Griffiths. Something memorable she said to an employer: “I'm sort of a spy.”

The spy's life is always tragic. During years of work as a domestic and a nanny, Maier hid behind identities. She changed her name and her range, from the Hamptons to Chicago. She even worked as Phil Donahue’s

With co-director Charlie Siskel (a collaborator with Michael Moore), Maloof conducts the investigation into this tormented woman, and I wished for some of the poetry cartoonist Chris Ware brings to the lives of similar solitary types.

Ultimately, if Finding Vivian Maier is the work of a promoter, it’s also the work of an ardent fan. Maloof is anxious to prove his hands are clean—his research demonstrates Maier did at one time want to promote some of her photographs, which clears him of implications of grave-robbing and privacydisturbing. Rather than echoing accusations at the person who found, restored and brought forth Maier’s haunting work, ask why, in our cultural integrity vacuum, the crowds are most fascinated by the story of a monk-like, suffering artist.

WEB OF LIFE Johnny Depp plays a scientist whose consciousness is uploaded to the Internet.

A Down Load PRETTY damned bad. Another example of 2014 CG used to animate 1974’s science fiction ideas. After an overlong TED-talk lecture about the importance of AI, Lawrence Livermore scientist Will Caster (a colorless Johnny Depp) is shot with a poisoned bullet by antitechnology terrorists. With the help of Evelyn (Rebecca Hall), his “partner in life and work” as she describes herself, Caster is uploaded first into a program, and then into the Internet.

The bracketing story is shot on Telegraph Avenue, which already looks postcollapse. Did they go for the bracket because Transcendence’s finale isn’t as awewalloping as they’d hoped? (Humanity’s last stand seems to take place in the same depressed New Mexican town where Thor killed that fire-breathing robot.)

Speaking of Marvel, it takes much of the movie to tease the audacity of a premise that took 45 seconds to establish (and love) in the Toby Jones sequence in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

First-time director Wally Pfister

is Christopher Nolan’s usual cinematographer, and yet Transcendence isn’t Transcendence distinguished visually; Pfister seems to have PG-13; 119 min. absorbed all of Nolan’s selfOpens Fri. seriousness and none of his liveliness. The blocky, stale script doesn’t play with the ideas, and the humor is unintentional: surgeon Max Waters (Paul Bettany) is told that a rhesus monkey brain was uploaded, so why not Caster? “He’s not a monkey!”

Waters shouts. (We’re later informed that we don’t negotiate with terrorists.)

Takeaways: if you’re unsure where you stand on a complex matter of whether Utopia means enslavement, just see where Morgan Freeman stands on the matter (he’s here as a head of security, benign and in charge). 2. Computer virus protection is clearly worth what it costs. 3. If you’re a Godlike computer being, and you don’t want to terrify the world, try turning down the bass woofer on your voice controls.

WITH SLOW, chugging riffs, growling vocals and a penchant for large concept albums, Louisiana sludge metal band Thou have, by their very nature, always discouraged mainstream attention. However, lead singer Bryan Funck thinks Thou’s latest album, Heathen, is their most accessible to date. Granted, the songs are longer, slower and centered on the theme of nature and the physical world, with references to authors Thoreau, Kipling and Landstreicher.

However, “accessible� is a bit of a stretch, though the album does have catchier vocal melodies and an increasing range in dynamics. There are quiet, gentle interludes that slowly intensify into heavy, consuming metal riffs.

Thou are happy with their direction and aren’t vying for new fans. They have a modest online presence, and in fact don’t even have a Facebook page. (The one that exists is an unofficial fan page.)

“We’ve never been interested in beating people over the head with selfadvertising or doing any phony networking—and we’ve gone out of our way to grind away the ego of the band. We barely even put our name on the records anymore,â€? Funck says. “We’ve tried to limit it to making our music available and letting people with some level of initiative ďŹ nd us.â€?

Heathen represents the latest in Thou’s desire to push the boundaries of doom metal. In a landscape of Sabbath wannabe bands, Thou instead toys with new ways to make heavy music, which include adding layers of sounds over the riffs, and riding the mood of the chords instead of focusing on the traditional staccato metal groove.

Funck doesn’t see Thou as a doom metal band, but more of a grunge band with punk roots. The members grew up listening to punk, hardcore, grunge and ’90s alternative rock. Given such inuences, Thou maintain a modest image and tackle political issues like the dangers of technology and equal rights for all people—that is when they’re not writing concept albums. “I would say that we have an aversion to tough-guy theatrics; ignorant and derisive, shock-value posturing; or exxxtreme, raging, party culture [of metal]—those things probably set us more apart than our personal taste in music,â€? Funck says.

The band wants to push things even further in the future. They’ve been talking about recording an all-quiet album (kind of like the mellow acoustic interludes on Heathen, but as the main songs), as well as a black metal album and a hardcore album. “Other than the possible pretty/quiet record we might do down the line, I don’t think we’ll ever not be a heavy band or writing heavy music. We’re not looking to become some kind of spacey jam rock thing or whatever. We just want to explore other paths to heaviness that don’t solely rely on a crushing riff,� Funck says. —Aaron Carnes
