GGEN NER RAT ATTIO ON B

RANDON HA wanders around Santana Row compelled by the voices inside his head. Some of them sound familiar, the inflections of friends.

Others sound like celebrities, mostly President Obama and Steve Jobs. One he can’t quite place, but it barks an order as he passes an upscale men’s clothing store: “Take it.”

Drunk and numb to the sting of the cold winter air, Ha swivels on a heel and steps into the store. He grabs a messenger bag and walks out. He’s done this countless times in other shops, driven by the voices. Only this time, someone is watching Ha. A cop follows him to his car and cites him for petty theft.

With a record-scratch halt, illusion cracked against reality, Ha says. Consequences mattered again and this one brought him to criminal court. For all the arrests, jail stays, bills defaulted, jobs lost and suicide attempts, this marked Ha’s lowest point in a near decadelong battle against his own mind.

“The embarrassment I felt, I can hardly describe,” he says, pausing, searching for the right word. “Consuming. Isolating.”

Eight years earlier at Cal Poly, San Luis

Obispo, Ha aspired to practice medicine. But something cracked then, too—just slightly at first. Maybe it was the stress of being away from home. Maybe it was the latent emotional wounds from having lost his father during the family’s escape from Vietnam and, years later, his stepfather’s death. Whatever it was, Jack Daniels helped him forget, though it fueled a force that robbed him of sleep and spun his thoughts into soaring delusions of grandeur.

Not until his first involuntary psychiatric hold, at the age of 22, did Ha learn a name for the jarring ups and downs that hijacked his consciousness: Type I bipolar, a mood disorder that jerks a person from manic grandiosity to suicidal depression.

“I didn’t want to be crazy,” Ha says. “Taking those pills didn’t make me crazy, but I thought, in some twisted way, that if I didn’t take them, then I wasn’t crazy.”

So he didn’t. And for a while life continued uninterrupted. He got a good job, a mortgage on a condo at 25, a V12 CL600 Mercedes, a Breitling watch. But the stress of debt and its demand for longer hours and harder work led him to excessive drinking again, to ecstasy and cocaine. And routine blackouts.

Finally, the paroxysm—an uncontrollable flight of aggression and fancy—would send him 51-50ed to the psych ward. The cycle continued. Guilt from the crash, brief

treatment, shirking the antipsychotics that helped tame the illness, self-medicating with drugs and liquor and the inevitable, implacable mania.

Standing in court in winter 2010, answering to charges of theft, the shame Ha felt was so much more crushing, weighted by a decade of fuck-ups. Was he psychotic or alcoholic?

Thirty years old and accused of shoplifting, he thought about a permanent way out. During the arraignment, his mother placed her hand on his lap and looked up at him.

“However many mistakes you think you’ve made, I will always love you,” she whispered in Vietnamese.

Ha bowed his head and squeezed his eyes shut to lock away the tears.

“At that point, I decided to get help,” he says. “I realized, ego aside, that my problem, whatever it was, affected not only me but the people around me.”

Break Yo Stigma Seeing Ha now—a young-looking 34 years old, good-natured and jovial—it’s hard to imagine those dark days. He jokes about some of them, about how ridiculous they seem from a vantage point of sanity. But he shares his story openly and often, before classrooms and support groups, as a mentor for the Santa

Clara County chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Ha created a popular Instagram account, @BreakYoStigma, where he posts uplifting images, quotes and personal recollections. It helps him heal and stay sober—four years and counting. Just by talking about it, Ha hopes to normalize discussions around mental illness and recovery and shatter the stigma that once prevented him from committing to treatment.

“It took me eight years to finally admit that I have bipolar disorder,” he says. “A lot of people are in the closet with their addiction or mental illness or whatever they have, because it’s so stigmatized.”

His grassroots effort to make healing a public process reflects a sea change in recovery culture, one that’s pulling it out of church basements and community centers and into the open.

For 80 years, Alcoholics Anonymous has dominated the recovery landscape.

IN THE BAG The Craft Beverage Expo, holding its inaugural run in San Jose this week, is expected to draw small craft breweries, wineries and distilleries.

Art of Craft

C

an folks from the worlds of craft beer, artisanal wine and craft spirits get along, learn from one another and grow successfully together? The organizers of the first-ever Craft Beverage Expo are betting on it, and it all starts here at the San Jose Convention Center with a comprehensive trade show and conference taking place this week, through Thursday, May 8.

The inaugural Craft Beverage Expo provides workshops and resources, not on how to make tasty libations, but on the more common threads of marketing, business development and regulation. The conference aims to unite the entire craft beverage industry, showcasing the latest best practices pertaining to everything post production, from bottling to marketing to distribution, as well as recent developments in government regulations.

There are 24 workshops, more than 150 exhibitors and plenty of networking opportunities over the three days. The breakout sessions include: “Social Media 101: The What, How, and Why of Networking in a Regulated Space”; “Packaging Your Brand: Balancing Form, Function, and Scalability”; “Marketing on a Shoestring”; “Distribution 101: Finding a Distributor for Your Product”; “Managing Your Distributor”; “Stacking Licenses: Making the Transition from One to Multiple Craft Commodities” and “Are Your Ads and Marketing Programs in Compliance?”

Expect a strong craft beer presence. Brooklyn Brewery’s co-founder Stephen Hindy moderates the opening general session “Craft as Community–A Brooklyn Case Study,” while Lagunitas Brewing Company’s founder, Tony Magee, participates in the closing general session “Innovation: Evolution, Revolution and Moving Craft Forward.”

One particular session sure to be popular is entitled “Entrepreneurial Triumph: Lessons Learned from Pioneers of the Early Revolution” and features notable craft beer figures Vinnie Cilurzo (Russian River Brewing Company), Ken Grossman (Sierra Nevada Brewing), Hindy (Brooklyn Brewery) and Rob Tod (Allagash Brewing Company).

MAY M AY 7-13, 7-13, 2014

‘D

ry’ events are generally not something that fans of fine spirits would sign up for, but Willow Glen’s Hay Market restaurant is hosting an event this Thursday with Dry Fly Distillery.

Based in Washington State, the craft distillery produces vodka, gin, bourbon and whiskey—all created using only grains and botanicals grown locally at farms that use sustainable practices. Using two German-made stills, the company produces small batches of its liquors: just 12,000 to 15,000 cases of a dozen 750-milliliter bottles a year.

The Hay Market will offer a flight of five Dry Fly spirits paired with a five-course dinner (that includes dessert). Diners have the option of ordering cocktails made with the spirits, as well. The event takes place Thursday, May 8, 5-7pm at the Hay Market.

The Dry Fly flight and five-course pairing is $65 per person; reservations required.

THE HAY MARKET 1185 Lincoln Ave, San Jose. 408.295.4800 or haymarketwillowglen.com.

Hyper Local

B

lackbird Tavern’s menu has some truly local food: ingredients grown within a distance that could pretty much be measured in city blocks. The downtown San Jose restaurant, which opened last summer, is serving dishes made with organic produce grown just a little more than 1 1/2 miles away at Garden to Table farm near Taylor Street and Highway 87.

Garden to Table’s bounty can so far be found in menu items such as green garlic soup and waldorf salad, which adds plenty of fresh greens to the more traditional mixture of apples and nuts.

And to make this local, organic food even more sustainable, it’s delivered to the Tavern via bicycle.

his painting style to keep his creativity at its peak.

Whole Hart WITH LONG HAIR and a freshly groomed goatee, a crystal pendant necklace and cuffed black jeans, Andre Hart maintains a personal style that reflects his bohemian life. Hart, 23, has been painting full-time for five years. “I wouldn’t call it an occupation, but I am an artist,” he said. “I would never do something if I didn’t fully believe in it; it has to be honest.” Metro sat down with Hart to discuss his career.

The Swing Solution

METRO: WHEN DID YOU DECIDE YOU WANTED TO TRY YOUR HAND AT PAINTING? Hart:

Painting has become an intuitive experience for me but I sucked at it when I started, believe it or not. My senior year at James Lick [high school] I didn’t take any art classes, but I knew I wanted to do oil painting. So for about a year I had the paint, I had the canvases, I had the easel, but I couldn’t paint—I was so damn afraid of it. So one day I finally just sat down and painted, and I’ve been doing it since.

HOW WOULD YOU CLASSIFY YOUR STYLE OF PAINTING? First and foremost, I never label my styles; I leave that up to everybody else. I always change my style when it starts to feel very comfortable. It’s important to never feel like you’re at a place of arrival with creativity. You have to be in a stage of constant becoming.

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INSPIRATION TO PAINT? I’ve found my muse; I’ll call her V. She’s given me an overwhelming peace about myself. She told me something no one had ever said to me before, that she appreciates my conviction to do my art. I think if you’re creating something you should show it. I realized that there’s going to be a part of her in everything I do now, but I’ve never been this in tune with someone before, and so quick. The next painting I do, I’m going to attempt to paint her soul and let that positivity ring through her as she’s given it to me. I mean, I’m very in tune with the moon; I believe it’s one of the easiest ways to speak with the universe, so I get a lot of creativity with the full moon. I use sacred geometry and esoteric zodiac symbolism. I’ve been dealing with crystals, putting intentions into the stones to help me manifest peace and creativity. But right now, V is my muse.

WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU’VE LEARNED THROUGH YOUR ART? I know where I’m at,

but I’m not really anywhere. Time always changes and you have to move with it, otherwise you’re not existing in the present. Time is a perception of then and when, it exists in our heads. We exist in the middle of time. So it’s like ‘here’s time, there it went,’ you know? Everything is everything. I am, therefore, we are. We all come from the earth, we all breathe the same breath. It’s not a fight, it’s a dance, so you can’t darken your heart because of life’s woes.

RECENTLY, Metro got a chance to sit down with former comedian Sanderson Jones, founder of Sunday Assembly, the headline-grabbing “atheist church.” Along with fellow comedian Pippa Evans, Jones founded the Assembly 18 months ago as a small godless gathering described on their website as “all the best bits of church, but with no religion, and awesome pop songs!” Since then they've seen it spread to every continent (there was a one-off on Antarctica) with more than 100 different Sunday Assemblies expected by the end of the year.

thing that is really innovative about what Pippa and I have done … was that we've cracked non-religious service, which apparently hasn't really been done before. And I guess that's because we're comedians. We just knew how to create an entertaining hour. I mean, all of my comedy shows have been about trying to celebrate how amazing it is to be alive. I just think it's so incredible that we're alive. If you were to just contemplate that how ridiculous it is that you are fucking just atoms and yet right now I can do this.

[HE TAKES A VIGOROUS BITE OF HIS QUICHE.] It's amazing. This is super delicious

and one day I'm going to be dead. All right! Thinking about that and almost anything you're doing is just transcendent ... I suppose a lot of people reacted to that and our motto, "Live better, help often, wonder more." You know people just go like, “Huh, sounds like the sort of thing I like to do! Not one of those things is something I disagree with!”

IT'S NOT EXACTLY THE SAME, BUT I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES BETWEEN TED TALKS AND THE KIND OF TALKS THAT YOU GIVE. AND THERE'S BEEN SOME CRITICISM THAT THEY'RE INTERESTING AND THEY MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD, BUT THEY DON'T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING. Well, our mission is to try to help everyone find and

fulfill their full potential—awesome mission. And you know no one's going to totally change listening to a 15-minute talk. But, in fact, if you've got groups that people can be a part of and there are folks who hold them accountable and you're around people who you can be like, “That's how I want to live my life.” We do these groups called resolve groups, which is about trying to help people meet their goals. I started one after New Year's and it was really amazing. I really got a lot of shit done ...

Just the 15 minute talk on its own can't do anything. But I remember one of the frustrations was I had my comedy and if it went well people would just be loving it and you'd really be able to convey an idea. But you knew in two days time you're gonna to have stepped on a plug or stubbed your toe and be late for work and it's gonna be evaporated. In fact, what you need is a system which helps people live their lives.

REVIEW

COLLISION COURSE Locke (Tom Hardy) tries to manage personal and professional disasters from the road.

Drive WHAT’S MORE exciting, watching an actor lose control or an actor barely keeping it? In Locke, Tom Hardy is Ivan Locke, a man on a long night’s journey from the Midlands to London via the featureless M6 motorway. He intercepts a battery of telephone calls as he drives his BMW through the night.

In the morning, Locke has before him the biggest project of his career—a massive concrete pour that will be the base for a skyscraper. He’s going through with it, despite having been fired by the home office in Chicago. Locke’s second in command, Donal (voiced by Andrew Scott), is on speed-dial, and Donal has started celebrating too early. Meanwhile, Locke’s wife (Ruth Wilson), the mother of his two sons, is learning the full scope of an indiscretion he had: Bethan (Olivia Colman) was a one night stand who got pregnant. She decided to keep the baby, and is in the midst of complicated labor in a London maternity hospital even as Locke drives south.

Hardy is a Londoner, but he uses a feline yet feathery Welsh voice for the part, with traces of Celtic slyness, as when he advises Donal “Your conscience will keep you from drinking.” This actor has been a formidable second stringer, a Batman villain so tricked out with accent and

costume that it was hard to see what he could do. This is the role that will take him to the top. While the film’s essentially a radio drama on wheels, cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos makes the diffused lights of the road ominous, a kaleidoscope of colored circlets and Locke wet amoebic shapes.

R; 85 MIN. The film is most acute Plays in Campbell when Locke is talking to at the Camera 7 himself, wishing aloud he could disinter his lazy, useless father. Then, the dead elder could behold a real man who meets his responsibilities. Inevitably, like so many overachieving children of slacker parents, he made a far more sprawling mess of his life than his hippie dad ever did.

Steven Knight’s direction betrays the project’s seriousness in the too-lifeaffirming finale. The sweetness softens the film’s well-turned point of how cruelly focused a person has to work to stay alive and support a family; the film ends less like Arthur Miller than Ayn Rand. Maybe it’s one plot point too many: a true master builder would know not to stack it this high.

OBITUARY

#edgeofeden

De

RAISED UP THE ‘BARN’ Big Al’s Record Barn owner Al Farleigh died last week at 80.

For the Records

LONGTIME RECORD STORE owner Al Farleigh, owner of Big Al's Record Barn, passed away this week due to complications from tonsil cancer.

Farleigh, who would have turned 81 on May 2, passed away Wednesday at Santa Clara's O'connor Hospital, according to his only son, Will Farleigh. He leaves behind his wife of 40 years, Diana Farleigh.

Big Al's Record Barn (profiled in a Metro cover story last year) was a staple for collectors and music fans across the Bay Area and a fixture on Bascom Avenue.

"He loved music; my dad loved to dance and he loved to talk," Will Farleigh says.

For music fans who prefer vinyl over other formats, the shop is hallowed ground—a place to spend an afternoon digging through stacks of records for hard-to-find recordings.

"It's certainly the single largest room of vinyl in San Jose," local collector Allen “Overflo” Johnson, founder of Birthwrite Records, told us in 2013. “There's something special within those walls that shields me from the hustle and bustle of the modern world and encapsulates me within the days of old.

"Al's shop is decked out in LPs, 45s, vintage album covers, retro concert posters, dusty bins, dated price tags, grumpy old men and a parrot. My most rewarding moments there are when I've scoured dozens of bins, spent a few hours, and suddenly I place my needle on some obscure soul 45 I had never encountered.

Score!"

In addition to being a regular stop for collectors, Al's Record Barn played host to a number of noteworthy customers, including Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, family friend Neil Young, Peggy Lee, and ’80s hardcore band Black Flag, who played the store's parking lot with Henry Rollins.

Even as the music industry evolved, Big Al's never strayed from vinyl and survived widespread format changes to tape, CDs and now digital files, only to face the threat of closure last year when the building's owners put it on the market.

Somehow, Big Al's stayed open while others failed, even now as Al's best friend and assistant, Joe, temporarily runs the shop while the family looks for a buyer.

"There are no more stores like this in the country, and now I'm kind of struggling with what to do with it," says Will Farleigh. He says he would prefer to sell the store's inventory of several hundred thousand records in bulk to another record store or private collectors but he's also considering other options.

"We would love for someone who owns a record store or a private collector to come in and give my mom a price," he says. Interested parties can email Will at wfarleigh55@gmail.com.

Dates for a service are pending, but Will says it will include at least one Al Farleigh favorite: "'My Way' by Frank Sinatra was his song and he told me forever he wanted that at his funeral."— Matt Crawford

CONCERT

MUSIC IN THE AIR The ‘Space Palette’ installation allows visitors to make music by waving their hands over different areas of the piece.

Synth Qua Non ELECTRONIC MUSIC has evolved tremendously since the days of synthesizers and disco-pumping drum machines. Not only has the sound palette expanded, but continuing improvements in technology have made the very prospect of making music easier and accessible to more people. This is the idea behind the Tech Museum of Innovation’s “Reboot,” which runs through Aug. 17.

The museum has set up 16 digital music-making installations that encourage visitors to explore new ways to make music.

One example is the Space Palette, a large, glowing red oval that seems plucked straight from a 1960s sci-fi film. Visitors wave their hands inside different holes in the installation to produce music. The hand movements affect the pitch, speed and texture modulation.

Reboot: Music Live!

The Tech Museum of Innovation, San Jose Sat, 7pm, $15

“Each of the installations has a very careful interface. They are fun to touch, and it’s a refreshing perspective on what a musical instrument can be. We engage all your senses and make it very tactile,” says Rich DDT, one of the curators of the exhibit.

On the other side of the coin, the Tech Museum wants to demonstrate the boundless creativity of modern-day digital technology in the hands of musicians.

They are throwing a concert inside the museum this Saturday featuring electronic artists from all over the world that have either been actively working with designers to utilize new interfaces, or have been developing and tweaking their own instruments. And there’s an emphasis on live, interactive performance as well.

“All the performers are going to showcase new ways of making music. They are all working on the edge of technology. Our headliner, Daedelus, has helped to distinguish between the typical DJ experience where someone is just playing a track, and where you’re watching beats and notes that are being performed on stage,” says co-curator John Brian Kirby.

Daedelus has been a big part of the famous LA Beat Scene, which has set the standard for cutting-edge underground electronic music globally over the past decade. Also on the lineup is Jeremy Ellis, the lightning-fast drum pad virtuoso.

Onyx Ashanti will also play. He hails from Berlin and wears a human cyborg instrument outfit. Author and Punisher from San Diego will play. He is an industrial musician who plays a bizarre musical panel that he designed and built himself. Opening the show is relatively new San Franciscan ambient electronic musician Daniel Berkman.

Before the show, the five musicians will discuss their creative process and approach to digital music-making in a panel discussion hosted by local electronic musician Ani. During the performance, cameras will be set up, getting close-up shots of the performers while they play, so the audience members can really see what they’re doing and how they are producing digital music live—because none of them are pressing play on a laptop.—Aaron Carnes

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

dog a license, it doesn’t mean he isn’t real or worthy of a head scratch. But where unmarried partnerships do fall short is in the legal protections department.

Rights that come with marriage—like the right to be by your partner’s bedside in the hospital—will, for the coupled but unwed, require filling out documents to get. You can have a lawyer draw these up, but my boyfriend of 11 years and I used Nolo’s WillMaker Plus 2014 software, which, for about $40, has the essentials—a will, a living will, and power of attorney for health care and for finances (designating somebody to, say, pay your mortgage if you get clocked over the head and are too comatose to do it yourself).

Unfortunately, WillMaker Plus is PConly, but the health care directive and power of attorney only ask for names and contact info of the people you’re designating, so if you have a Mac, you could fill this out on a friend’s PC without worrying about identity theft. As for the will, Nolo’s editor suggested putting in only the most general details about your accounts and attaching a letter with the specifics.

In other words, with a little paperwork, it really is possible to not have your wedding cake and eat it, too—that is, if you can come to accept that your relationship’s approval ratings will never match those of that married woman you see in the supermarket aisle screaming her husband into a small pile of ash.

My girlfriend is really insecure and gets furious that I meet my ex-girlfriend for lunch a few times a year. This ex and I broke up years ago, but I’d never cheat anyway, and I’ve explained that I have zero romantic interest in her.

Still, she’s a good friend and part of my life. How can I make my girlfriend understand?—Badgered Some people read poetry; your girlfriend lives it: “How do I love thee?

You’ll soon find out—after I attach this car battery to your nipples and interrogate you about your lunch.”

Although your girlfriend’s the one coming at you with the clamps, the truly unreasonable person in this relationship is you—dating an insecure person and then expecting her to act otherwise. Sure,

you could encourage her to build her self-esteem, but until she hits bottom— like in a breakup—she probably has no incentive to change. You need to either accept the trade-offs—the hassle, the not being trusted—or leave and get into a relationship where, as the saying goes, “love means never having to say ‘I’m sorry the shackle attaching you to the basement wall is a little tight.’”

My boyfriend of eight years and I love each other to death and are very happy. Still, I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t bother me that some people think we aren’t in a “real” relationship because we aren’t married and live separately. Is there a way to get them to respect the validity of our relationship without walking down the aisle?—Unwed Being married does allow for some convenient social shorthand. “Meet my husband” is easier than “If I eat a bad clam and end up puking my guts out at 3am, this is the man who’ll be holding my hair back.”

You can either rebel against convention or be accepted by the masses. Expecting to have it both ways is like running off to the jungle to live with revolutionaries and then demanding your tent be equipped with a microwave and a panini maker.

Is it possible that in some small way, you buy into the thinking of your detractors? Like one of those Louis Vuitton handbags that cost as much as a Ford Fiesta, a husband is a status symbol for women—one that women have been psychologically primed to want. Because women always have a high potential cost from any sex act—pregnancy and a mouth to feed—we evolved to look for reliable signals that a man will commit.

The most reliable are what evolutionary psychologists call “costly signals”—those so pricey that only a man who truly loves a woman would be willing to shell out for. A diamond engagement ring is one of these, as is a man signing a contract to spend the rest of his life with one woman when it’s in his genetic interest (and lots of fun!) to pursue a more McDonald’slike dream: “Billions and billions, um, serviced.”

This isn’t to say your unaccredited love lacks value. In fact, a marriage license is like a dog license. If you don’t get your

I've been scou scouring uring the web for healthy recipes recipes, s, and one term I keep coming acros across ss is "P Paleolithic a di iet." I don ’t understand how a cav veman's diet was better than mod dern "Paleolithic diet." don’t caveman's modern man's just bec cause of the absence of grain and gluten. What exactly is a P a aleolitthic because Paleolithic diet? Aside fro om being gluten-free, is there any y benefit to going paleo? —Sarah from Having Haavving a fairr idea what I’ I’d d find, I googled “Paleolithic skeptic” go ogled “P Paaleo olithic diet sk keptic” e and ffound o ound ccomments nts such as the ffollowing: ollowing: o ommen behind are moronic ”The ideas b eh hind this diet ar re ... mor ronic o and must b bee mo mocked furyy of a m ck ked e with the fur suns..” That pr pretty thousand suns ret etty much sums up myy gut rresponse.
