Drunk Punch Love It was embarrassing to watch you berating your girlfriend for being drunk as you and your friends staggered down the street—and not because she was so drunk. Were you just trying to deflect the ridicule so no one noticed how smashed you were?

Yeah, that didn’t work out so well when you fell in the street and couldn’t get up.

Glad she didn’t come back to help you up.

THE WORLD CUP kicks off June 12 in Brazil, a.k.a., the country whose team once brought world-class World Cup celebrations to the streets of the South Bay. Absent the Brazilian team, Silicon Valley fans of soccer (i.e., what the rest of the world calls football), will have to start the party on their own. Here’s a sampling of local spots showing World Cup games:

Britannia Arms Almaden 5027 ALMADEN EXPWY., SAN JOSE As one of the regular hot spots of south San Jose (even without a major sporting event) The Brit on Almaden Expressway is a British-style pub that will be teeming with World Cup enthusiasts. With traditional pub-style food, craft beers, cocktails and live music, supporters of all participating teams can find common ground. There is both indoor and outdoor viewing and seating so everyone can enjoy the World Cup.

Double D’s Sports Grille 354 N. SANTA CRUZ AVE., LOS GATOS The Devincenzi brothers (the "Double Ds" of the name) know how to create a good hangout. Double D’s Sports Grille on Santa Cruz Avenue comes with every DirectTV sports channel on 22 flat screens so that anyone and everyone can come and support their favorite teams. For the World Cup, the restaurant will open early for big games and with discounts on select appetizers. In addition to craft beers they will also feature some specialty drink items.

Agave Mexican Bistro 194 CASTRO ST., MOUNTAIN VIEW This colorful Mexican bistro in the heart of downtown Mountain View offers a festive way to enjoy the World Cup. Agave is one of four restaurants owned and run by Alexandro Garcia and his wife, Susan. Here one can find a spot indoors or outside in the patio to make the most of the full bar and catch World Cup games on multiple wall-mounted flat screens.

Duke of Edinburgh 10801 N. WOLFE RD., CUPERTINO Not only does the Duke specialize in a variety of single malt scotches, but it also has a full food menu. The bar will replay certain World Cup matches. Although this may not be the place for die-hard fans or those looking for minute-by-minute updates, it would be an excellent venue for anyone curious about the games and some good scotch whiskey.

Katie Bloom's 369 E. CAMPBELL AVE., CAMPBELL Katie Bloom’s is a favorite spot for pub fare and good Irish beers and whiskey. After dark, the pub turns into a club which can make watching the games even more exciting, though you may have to elbow your way through the dancers. Katie’s does also have a weekday happy hour 4-7pm, karaoke nights, and for anyone looking to exercise their brains they host trivia, too.

Rookies Sports Lodge 1535 MERIDIAN AVE., SAN JOSE The bar’s more than 20 TVs ensure unobstructed viewing of the games. Rookies also offers commemorative World Cup glasses and several drink specials.

O’Flaherty’s 25 N. SAN PEDRO ST., SAN JOSE Every four years, O'Flaherty's is packed with World Cup fans, who can celebrate or cry in their drinks accordingly. There are many ways to toast or drown sorrows here: 38 beers on tap and a wide variety of Irish and American whiskeys.

Lilly Mac’s Restaurant and Pub 187 S. MURPHY AVE., SUNNYVALE The high ceilings and open rafters give this ddowntown Sunnyvale pub the feel of a medieval hall—an unusual spot to watch the ggames. Lilly’s offers an extended happy hour with $1 off on food and drinks during World CCup up games. The twotwo-story -story pub has plenty of space upstairs and downstairs, as well as two small outdoor ar areas. reas. —Laur —Laura ra Larson

Day Party Planner HOT SUMMER WEEKENDS all but demand a drive to the beach, but Sundays offer a good reason to stick around: a solid schedule of day parties. Whether it’s live music or DJ, here’s a sampling of ways to wile away the summer days.

The Social Brunch Series @ Sp2 Sp2’s outdoor set-up—a massive patio with wood, brick and succulents—stands on its own. Every Sunday guests can do brunch or drinks on the patio and catch live music. “The Social” features a rotating lineup of bands like Nesta, Hot Pockets, and No Water After Midnight playing R&B, funk, jazz and reggae.

Last Call @ Motif Lounge With no music boundaries and no dress code, Last Call at the Motif Lounge is all up to what the DJ picks. A standing party for the last five years, Last Call has hosted guest DJs from the Bay Area and beyond. Rotating DJs Eni, Aj Orbit, Two Tons, and Eternal keep the party going Sundays, 4:30-9:30pm, playing just anything on the bpm gamut: trap, hip-hop, house, drum & bass. It’s the kind of party for anyone who loves to get down on the dance floor or who doesn’t mind a few sonic surprises .

Sunday Sessions @ Myth Taverna & Lounge Every first and third Sunday on the newly renovated patio at Myth Taverna & Lounge, Sunday Sessions brings together fans of R&B, hip-hop and soul. Talents such as the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff have come to rock the crowd, assisted by a rotating lineup of DJs: Goldenchyld, Wen Davis, Cutso, Remedy and Rated R. Sunday Sessions runs 2-10pm, but has been known to reach maximum capacity by 5pm, so an early arrival is suggested.

Detox Sundays @ The Fairmont Hotel In its seventh season, Detox Sundays at the Fairmont Hotel will kick off June 22 with L.A. and Las Vegas DJs David Garcia, JJ Flores, and Fabian. Patrons enjoy the rooftop pool, with access to both a full bar and poolside bottle service, with house beats rocking from midday to sunset. —Rosey Gonzales

Chance Encounter

L

OTERIA TACO BAR takes its name from the brightly colored cards used in a Mexican game of chance that’s a bit like bingo. The game, perhaps, could have provided some inspiration for Loteria’s food, but only in the sense that the dishes take some chances, with creative combinations of ingredients that include some surprises.

They’re also colorfully presented. And like luck itself, some of the dishes have a bit of a sneaky kick.

The taco bar makes the most of its location in the San Pedro Square Market, with a menu well-suited to that sort of casual, take-out situation: mostly small, easily portable dishes. Appetizers include housemade guacamole and chips ($6), yucca fries ($6) and the generously sized Market Quesadillla ($8.50), which could be split among several people or could make a filling meal on its own. But of course the menu’s focus is on tacos, with about a dozen choices of fillings that range from duck to steak to portobello mushrooms. All tacos, regardless of filling, have the same pricing: one taco costs $4; two are $7.50; three are $11 and 10 tacos sell for $31. Tacos are stuffed with enough filling that two will make for a good meal, especially because chips and salsa are served on the side. (For anyone looking to skip carbs, Loteria also offers the “La Dama” option of serving any of its taco fillings in iceberg lettuce cups.)

My companion chose the Mango Habanero Braised Chicken taco, which balanced a nice amount of heat from the habaneros with the slight sourness of pickled red onions and the sweetness of cilantro mango relish. The filling actually proved a bit too generous with the portion of meat, but the flavors meshed well.

Pickled cabbage lent nice acidity to my companion’s Fried Cod taco, which rounded out the light crispiness of the fish with spicy chipotle crema and cilantro.

My Portobello taco had the right blend of spice and texture. Chopped mushrooms, cooked to perfect juiciness, served as the substantial base of a filling that had the mild heat of pasilla peppers and the sharpness of red onions, all complemented by the creaminess of Oaxacan cheese. Zucchini added texture and subtly rounded out the flavors.

The titular ingredients of the Quinoa and Black Bean taco provided a complex earthiness that was the perfect foil for fresh, garlicky pico de gallo.

The smoky housemade salsa seemed almost redundant with the pico de gallo, although its smokiness did work well with the quinoa.

SV DINING

55 JJUNE U N E 1111-17, 177, 2014

I

t may have opened only just last summer, but the Farmer’s Union has already undergone some renovation.

The downtown San Jose restaurant reopened this week after closing up over Memorial Day weekend to get a quick makeover.

The massive marble-topped bar still holds court in the center of the main dining room, but the almost-as-massive TV that dominated the west wall has gone. Smaller TVs remain behind the bar to allow for game-viewing (this is down the street from the Shark Tank, after all). Cozy curtained banquettes now line the wall that formerly held the TV. The Farmer’s Union menu has also had a revamp, with the addition of some new items, and more of a focus on craft beers.

Crawl Summer Long

D

ishcrawl aims to bring more diners to experience San Jose’s budding restaurant renaissance with weekly events in the area. The series of “crawls,” which runs through August, kicks off Tuesday, June 17.

Dishcrawlers will drop by to sample dishes at the downtown eateries Fahrenheit Restaurant & Lounge, Mezcal and Loft Bar & Bistro. Each week will highlight a new trio of restaurants.

The June 17 dishcrawl begins at Fahrenheit, 99 E. San Fernando St., San Jose. dishcrawl.com

Lost Thai

O

wners of the longtime downtown San Jose restaurant House of Siam announced on Monday, via a notice posted in the restaurant window, that after 20 years of business, it would be closing June 22.

Fans of the food won’t be left completely bereft though: owners are moving operations to their other location, Tee Nee Thai, along the Alameda, near San Jose’s Rose Garden neighborhood. That restaurant was destroyed by fire in 2012, but the rebuilding process is nearly done and Tee Nee Thai is expected to open over the summer.

GATES OPENS AGAIN After a long hiatus, Otis Gates returns to comedy with an all-original show.

Sketchy Humor AFTER A DOZEN years in the corporate world, Otis Gates had a lot of pent-up funny to let out. Born to a vaudeville performer and groomed by the famed Groundlings improv comedy troupe in Los Angeles, he dedicated the first part of his life to the stage. But work and family brought Heart on Comedy him back to San Jose, where, as a 30-something, he felt inspired to resurrect his comedy career.

Fri-Sat, 8pm “I had all these jokes bouncing around my own head Blackbird Tavern annex, that needed some validation,” he says with a laugh.

San Jose “I’m very much egotistical in that sense.” $10 with a two-item Teaming up with friends and family, he formed the minimum “Heart on Comedy” troupe—concocted, he says, over brownpapertickets.com bubbly beverages on a porch in the deep shadows of the sprawling metropolis of San Jose. His cousin, Monica Hill, helped organize the concept into an actual event, “Jokes and Validations,” which debuts Friday and Saturday at the Blackbird Tavern annex in downtown San Jose.

“The show will be kind of like watching a live filming of Saturday Night Live,” Gates says, “a lot of small snippets—some only 20 seconds long.”

An ensemble of about 20 people wrote, directed, costumed and otherwise pulled together the two-hour production.

“All original material,” Hill says. “We wanted to make sure our members contributed and created every bit of it.”

The crew ranges in age from young adult to middle aged and consists of selfdescribed ragamuffins: actors, musicians, directors, a speech language pathologist, a masseuse, a librarian (the original search engine) and an assortment of yuksters.

Gates and Hill have largely led the group along with actors Bridget Block and Chris Montana, who used to take theater classes with them at Saratoga’s West Valley College and perform at the now-shuttered Gaslighter Theater in Campbell.

Choosing which sketches to include in the show was purely democratic. Writers and actors pitch an idea and the rest of the cast votes. Gates and his crew are already cooking up plans to turn the show into a quarterly or bi-annual production.

“I think the South Bay’s ready for it,” he says. “When I was younger, I went up to Portland, then down to Los Angeles to pursue comedy because we didn’t really have anything here. But it’s exciting to see more happening on the creative front— more venues, people being more receptive to the arts.”

It’s a little harder this time, with Gates raising three kids and having to rent odd spaces here and there for his troupe to rehearse.

“But pending some Hollywood exec offering a lot of money for our act, we’ll be here making people laugh,” he says.—Jennifer Wadsworth

WORDS HURT Obsessive linguist George (Jeffrey Bracco) tries to stop one of his study subjects, Alta (Deb Anderson), from taking an argument to the next level.

ENJOY LOCAL MUSICIANS PLAYING IN AN AMAZING VENUE!

Free Admission Full Bar

Lost in Translation THE LANGUAGE ARCHIVE opens to the dysfunctional marriage of George and Mary. The set is adorned with boxes of papers, books, and a backdrop adorned with a collage of words from an unknown language.

George (Jeffrey Bracco), is a linguist with a particular love for Esperanto. And, though well-versed in many languages, he still struggles for the right words to express his love for his wife, Mary, played by Lisa Mallette. Mary is a nearly broken woman who leaves poetic notes around the house for George in a last ditch effort to spur some return expression of his love.

The Language Archive Thru June 29 $17-$30 City Lights Theater Company, San Jose

But it's no use: George is too involved in his work at the Language Archive recording the last two speakers of an ancient language called Elloway. Unfortunately for him and his assistant, Emma (Kendall Callaghan), those sole speakers are married couple Reston and Alta (Ben Ortega and Deb Anderson), who are entrenched in their own hilarious bickering. Much to George's dismay, those arguments take place only in English, or what the couple call “the language of hate.” Soon, Mary appears to tell George she is leaving him. Meanwhile, lab assistant Emma is madly in love with George.

That's the set-up, which, if a bit forced, is certainly workable. Unfortunately, from there the storyline isn't content to simply spin out the implications of the opening, but instead takes wild turns as the unrequited love between George for Mary, and Emma for George, leads the characters toward overwrought expressions of how they feel. Emma even takes Esperanto classes with the hopes of reaching George, only to fail on the advice of her teacher, played wonderfully by Anderson, doubling up on roles. In the end it comes down to Reston and Alta to bring out what's in the hearts of George and Emma, even if it's not what either of them expect.

The play is ultimately about fear, language and its interpretations and regret for the things said and not said. The small cast works to the play's advantage, particularly for comedic effect. The acting of the entire cast is superb; the dialogue is fast-paced, expressive and able to make some of the play's lofty ideas more digestible.

But The Language Archive is structurally a mess. Scenes switch without any transition or background, characters suddenly break into monologues, dream sequences occur without warning. And though this lack of order may be purposeful, it only serves to illuminate the flaws of the play. Playwright Julia Cho seems to forgo structure for the sake of ideas—when those ideas would have been more thoroughly expressed with a living story and three-dimensional characters to prop it up. That isn't to say The Language Archive isn't interesting. It is a thoughtful, and sometimes hilarious look at language and human interaction. But overall, it's just not a very good play. However, the blunt and witty performances by Ortega and Anderson keep the production tethered.—Tad Malone

CONCERT

SO HAPPY TOGETHER The members of Joan and the Rivers are so close-knit they finish each other’s sentences.

River Crossing SOME BANDS’ SOUNDS are fueled by past loves and worldly turmoil, others by pizza and beer.

Joan and the Rivers are an experimental three-piece rock band from San Jose—and a trio of kindred spirits. They all seem to finish each others' sentences; they’ve all worked hourly jobs together; two of three live together. When I met the band members for an interview over dinner all three ordered French dips.

Joan and the Rivers "Until it stops being fun, we will always play music together … my girlfriend fucking hates it," bassist Mike Hickel says.

The Blank Club, San Jose June 14$8

Joan and the Rivers’ music is freeform, and accordingly, they call themselves a jam band. They epitomize "experimental," sonically and visually. In fact, even the band's promotional art was created by their singer/guitarist, Eric Smith, based on his hand-drawn and Photoshop-enhanced experiments.

Pizza Foam is not simply their newest release. It's also the disgusting glue holding together a collaboration with the band Failure Machine. Joan and the Rivers connected with the Reno-based band during shows at the Caravan. It's been a whirlwind of road trips, shows, pizza and beers ever since. The smitten bands spent a day recording in the midst of the aforementioned whirlwind. Each contributed two songs to the split and shared the fifth. Failure Machine will join Joan and the Rivers for their upcoming show at The Blank Club on June 14.

So what’s up with the name? The group toyed with different ideas in the beginning and stuff like Danny and The Devitos kept popping up. When Joan Rivers was suggested, it struck their funny bones and stuck.

"We started playing shows and no one got the joke," Smith says.

"Everyone was like, 'Which one of you is Joan?'"

Like most artists, these three are dedicated perfectionists. Hickel wishes they could record every take. They have to force themselves to cease rerecording. However, the band’s work ethic is inversely proportional to the meanings behind their name and song titles.

They take turns picking titles—no emotional stake is needed. They keep lists of silly strings of nouns on their iPhones. "Jabroni" and "Picolonely" are their contributions to the recent split. The trio laughs while naming off past song titles, acknowledging each inside joke.

"We just get drunk," Hickel says. "We spew things and write them down."

—Tony Contini

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

I’ve gone out several times with a girl I really like, but her breath bothers me enough that I don’t want to kiss her until it improves. (It smells like pepper and socks.) She doesn’t smoke, eat stinky foods, or have an odd diet (beyond not eating red meat), so I’m not sure where this is coming from. I think her feelings might be hurt if I were to say something. What’s the best approach?—Holding My Breath When you read a book about the horrible chemical weapons used in World War I, you shouldn’t think, “Hey, that reminds me of kissing my girlfriend.”

People will tell you that you can just give the girl a hinty-poo in the form of gum or a mint. And sure, Altoids can eliminate persistently bad breath—if the person who has it gets killed in an avalanche of them. But terrible breath that isn’t caused by something a person ate or eats regularly could point to dental problems—issues even “curiously strong mints” can’t fix, not even when combined with a really strong mouthwash, like Lysol Basin, Tub & Tile Cleaner.

There’s a common misconception— held even by many doctors and dentists— that serious bad breath originates in the stomach, notes the health care research-vetting group the Cochrane Collaboration. In fact, only 9 percent of the cases at an “oral malodor” clinic were caused by things such as gastric imbalances, diet, and sinus infections.

But 86 percent of the cases originated orally—most caused by gross microscopic

3014-B Union Ave, San Jose Open 7 days • 408-559-6039•piercedout.com

critters relaxing and playing poker on a person’s tongue.

Studies find that these microbe meetups can be shut down with tongue scraping, at least for a while, but you can’t just present this girl with a Tiffany’s box with a silver tongue scraper. (“Thinking of you … ”) Sure, you may lose her if you say something, but if you don’t, you’ll almost definitely have to ditch her or have your sinuses filled with cement.

To break the news, start positive: “I find you totally hot and an amazing person, but I have to tell you: There’s a sort of ongoing issue with your breath, and I’ve read that this can point to dental issues or a need for tongue scraping.”

Assuming she isn’t so mortified that she dumps you, this news is likely to send her to the dentist and/or to the drugstore for a tongue scraper. This, in turn, should get you longing to kiss her—a far more enjoyable act once you’re no longer dating a woman who maybe looks like Xena the warrior princess but tastes like Xena’s horse after it’s licked the break room refrigerator.

My buddy was hit on by a girl he plays softball with, but he politely told her he is married, and they’ve since become friends. Recently, he set me up with her.

She’s actually very cute and nice, but I can tell that she still likes my friend.

I feel like a consolation prize. Is that just in my head? Should I let this girl go even though I like her?—Runner-Up People often give their romantic partners food-related nicknames.

Maybe yours can be “my little half-eaten muffin that somebody handed the homeless guy.”

This woman knows in her rational mind that there’s a big wife-shaped roadblock between her and your friend.

The problem is, when she initially turned getting him into a goal, she switched on the human motivational system, which is highly efficient in maintaining a craving but lacks an off switch for easily discontinuing one. As for where this leaves you, well, in game show terms, your friend’s the trip to Bermuda; you’re the set of steak knives.

When somebody you want still wants somebody else, the temptation is to chase after them and then tie them to a

chair and pontificate on your greatness.

That’s the most counterproductive thing you could do. This isn’t to say you have to give up on this girl. Just forgo hot pursuit for lukewarm pursuit. Instead of going whole hog, go one-eighth or one-sixteenth hog. In practical terms, make yourself occasionally available but generally somewhat scarce. She should have the sense that you’re also dating other women, and ideally, you are doing that. A month from now, if she’s still looking at your buddy the way a dog looks at a piece of bacon teetering on a counter ledge, it’s probably time to move on. When your future wife tells the grandkids, “I’ll always remember when I first saw your granddad,” the rest of that shouldn’t be, “Because I’ve still got the hots for the guy who fixed us up.”
