Off the Rails I'm not going to pretend I can tolerate those who use their phones as boom boxes while riding the light rail.

Nor will I condone those who choose to serenade the train or essentially yell their profanityladen conversations. But that kind of shit is to be expected—kind of like nasty smells and suspicious stains on the blue cloth seats. But clipping your fingernails?! Who does that? It’s disgusting and just totally not cool. So, to the dude who was clipping away whilst I made my way downtown last Saturday afternoon: You should be ashamed of yourself.

Southern Exposure

N

EW ORLEANS is equally famed for its Mardi Gras blowouts and its food, which is rarely a simple affair.

Louisiana Bistro brings a welcome sense of homecooking to this elaborate, rich cuisine. The restaurant opened earlier this year in downtown San Jose.

And the Big Easy theme extends beyond the menu: the restaurant features live music on Thursday through Saturday nights. Mardi Gras masks, beads and New Orleans-inspired decorations complete the motif without feeling overly themed.

The restaurant operates in honor of the owner’s mother, Velma Green, whose recipes come with a serious New Orleans pedigree. The menu does well to encompass the food and drink staples of New Orleans. Catfish appears repeatedly on the menu, a crawfish étouffée as well as the signature gumbo highlight the entree selections and there are several po’boy sandwiches as well.

For appetizers I sampled the crab cakes, fried oysters and bayou beignets.

Neither the fried oysters nor the crab cakes were outstanding appetizers.

According to the menu, the crab cakes used blue crab, usually sweet and delicious. However, the crab cakes were rather light on crab and heavy on filler.

The bayou beignets—pieces of catfish tossed in cajun spices, cornmeal and fried—were tasty and a recommended dish for sharing, even if they mostly just made good carriers for the Creole aioli.

For an entree, I was torn between a po’boy and gumbo but ultimately chose the gumbo, only to enjoy a sizable sample from a friend’s fried shrimp po’boy.

The gumbo was incredibly rich, with just the right blend of seasonings that gave the dish a smoky, slightly sweet flavor profile. The dish could have benefited from some larger, juicier portions of shrimp, however. The étouffée, with pieces of crawfish, was rich in flavor, and seemed the most authentic of them all. All entrees were ample portions and passed around the table to be sampled.

The ’Nawlins theme continues on the drink menu with the official New Orleans cocktail, the Sazerac, traditionally prepared with rye and the aniseflavored liquor, herbsaint. (Original recipes called for absinthe. Due to a long, only recently lifted ban on absinthe, herbsaint became a popular substitute.)

The sharp flavor of rye whiskey and herbaceous tinge of herbsaint is not for everyone. I would have enjoyed my Sazerac with a pinch more sugar to even out the kick. On the sweeter, yet still boozy side, that old Kentucky Derby standby, the Mint Julep, was enjoyably sweet and minty, while very much remaining a bourbon cocktail. —Jeff Cianci LOUISIANA BISTRO 19 N.

PUPPETS AND PATHOS Childlike humor and grown-up tragedy converge, as a puppeteer works to overcome the loss of his wife in ‘The Great Pretender.’

‘Pretender’ Gets Real THE GREAT PRETENDER opens to a television production set fashioned as a child’s room. Toys sit on the shelves, polka dots cover an armoire and children’s music plays softly in the background. At center stage, Mr. Felt (Steve Brady) a famous children’s TV host, is conversing with his equally famous co-hosts, puppets Carol the Horse (Suzanne Grodner) and the androgynous child Francis (an exuberant Sarah Moser). But this scene is merely a memory, as Felt’s wife, Marilyn, who once voiced the puppet Francis, is now dead, leaving the show’s future up in the air.

The opening production of TheatreWorks 45th season, The Great Pretender The Great Pretender, is a meditation on grief, which examines the process of coming to terms with tragedy through a Lucie Stern Theatre, combination of humor, pathos and puppets.

Palo Alto While cartoonish, stuffed effigies are more often emThru Aug 3 ployed to illustrate lighter fare, and while some of the play’s $19-$74 scenes have an incongruous pacing or feel oddly rushed, theatreworks.org ultimately the story, penned by David West Read and directed by Stephen Brackett, works in a fascinating way—tastefully juxtaposing the childlike innocence of the colorful puppets with heavier adult themes and crass, cynical language.

When Carol and the show's director Tom, (Michael Storm), offer up a possible replacement for Francis, Mr. Felt is far from thrilled. Reinforcing his reservations, he catches new recruit Jodi, the replacement performer for the Francis puppet, handling some of the props on the empty set.

But soon, Felt finds himself taken with Jodi, who idolizes the renowned television host, even if the consequence is putting up with her perpetual childishness.

More so than her hero worship, it’s her uncanny ability to do the voice of Francis the puppet—that is, of his late wife—that sparks Felt’s interest. By contrast, Carol is immediately threatened by the new cast member, especially given her striking replication of Francis’ original voice.

Felt takes Jodi under his wing, helping her understand Francis the puppet in a sad attempt to resurrect of his wife.

The dialogue is thoughtfully written, using the strengths and weaknesses of each character to great effect. Tom and Carol play off each other in a charismatically argumentative fashion, with Tom the straight man to Carol's foil. The pair also provides comic relief to balance Felt’s introspective apathy and Jodi’s childishness. Ultimately, the standout character is Grodner's Carol. With a strong and versatile performance, she leaves the audience unsure whether to root for Carol or hate her.

The Great Pretender's use of puppets as symbolic vessels help to portray complex themes proves potent and moving—and despite the obvious risk, never comes off as childish. This careful balance, combined with the strong influence of classic children’s television programs like “Mr. Rogers” or “Captain Kangaroo,” makes for an oddly harmonious production.—Tad Malone

ARTISTIC DOCUMENTS The art produced by artists like Hank Miller and photographed by Steven Bay is both a creative outlet and chronicle of the dispossessed.

Riding the Rails ARTISTS ARE USUALLY eager to attach their names to their work. But when the art in question is also considered vandalism, signing the same name that appears on your birth certificate could land Hank Miller and you on the wrong side of the law. As such, discretion Steven Bay is key for the two artists currently exhibiting their work at The Arsenal.

Thru July 27 The compelling new show features “vandal” artists The Arsenal Hank Miller and Steven Bay (not their real names), both San Jose of whom have made a name for themselves—just not their www.thearsenal real names—producing railcar art and documenting the vagsj.com abond subculture surrounding it. The show features a huge variety of work, especially for such a small space: old newspaper clippings on boxcar art, drawings, paintings, sketches and photographs—all focused on the underworld of trains, stations and yards, along with the “hobos” who live and create therein.

"Hank Miller" is an artist/railroad historian perhaps best known by his moniker: a simple, curvy steamroller signed Ed Haskey. Monikers are simple line drawings made in pastel or crayon that serve as personal brands for boxcar artists.

Miller, now middle-aged, has spent considerable time living in the underground train culture, as well as working for a railroad company. He has a deep appreciation of trains, switching yards, and the lifestyle, including the language and symbology, of those who ride the rails.

As for his more “conventional art,” that is, not the work he inscribes on boxcars and buildings, Miller draws the people he used to see in those railyards—mostly hardened, bearded men wearing secondhand clothes, trapped in the barren world of switching yards and stations.

Whereas Miller's best work is typically seen on the sides of trains, Steven Bay presents a collection of photographs and drawings that illustrate the transient, rail-riding lifestyle.

Much of his work came about because, as Bay puts it, “I like adventure.” And it shows. His work captures the outliers of America's vast transit culture: runaways, rail workers and vagrants—all with a natural serenity; lonely and tranquil landscapes; mystical portraits and, in a change of pace, thrilling action on the periphery of trains or train yards. His casual drawings take inspiration from abstract expressionism and cubism. “I like to draw characters more than humans,” he says.

“Vandal” art may seem like a hidden, evanescent world, perhaps even more so than conventional graffiti. But monikers are, in fact, surprisingly influential and enduring.

Marking who you are, where you've been, with what's on your mind—and then leaving it for others to find—is an even older tradition, perhaps as old as humanity itself. And that shared desire is what makes the Arsenal show so resonant. As Miller puts it, it’s “spreading news, venting … anything I wanted to say.”–Tad Malone

CONCERT

Music Back in the Park

THE SAN JOSE Downtown Association took a risk last year when they restored the the storied, and briefly shuttered, Music in the Park—bringing back the once-free summer concert series as an annual ticketed affair.

Last year, Deputy Director Blage Zelalich was cautious when she told Metro about the event’s possible return. “There might be Music in the Park in the future but we’re not really ready to make that commitment or that announcement right now,” Zelalich said ahead of the July Music in the Park 2013 reboot. With a year to reflect on the reception of last summer’s successful one-off show, featuring Ozomatli and July 17, 5:15pm Sonido Clash, the Downtown Association is now a bit more St. James Park, optimistic.

San Jose “We had a great event,” Downtown Association Community Director Rick Jensen says, looking back on last year’s engagement. “People were happy to pay [to attend] and knew that they were going to have a quality experience.”

$10 adv/$20 at the door

Thanks to the vote of confidence from the public, the Downtown Association is doubling the lineup to two dates this year. British 2 tone ska group The English Beat, a South Bay favorite, kick off the series this Thursday in St. James Park, headlining a night that will include the Holdup, an emerging reggae band from San Jose, and San Francisco-based indie pop outfit Finish Ticket.

Next month will mark the series’ return to Plaza de Cesar Chavez, its former home.

Bay Area Latin jazz heavyweight Pete Escovedo re-christens the plaza on Aug. 21 when he makes his record 18th Music in the Park appearance.

The Downtown Association started receiving complaints about the numbers—and audience—the series was attracting during the final few years of its initial run. Last year’s Ozomatli date, with its gated perimeter and fee at St. James Park, was a way for the organization to place the focus back on the music.

“We wanted to be sure that we were going to be able to offer a quality event that was safe for everybody, [and that] everybody was going to be having a good time and be there for the right reasons,” Jensen says.

Both ticketed events pair well-known local draws with emerging talents. Escovedo will be joined by recent Grammy winners La Santa Cecilia, who performed to a packed house in San Pedro Square Market in March as part of San Jose Jazz Winter Fest.

Although Jensen says the Downtown Association will aim for at least two more events next summer, they may double their output to four. “In the old format of Music in the Park, we started with one and we doubled it, then we kind of doubled it again,” Jensen notes, though he’s quick to dampen any speculation over returning the event to a weekly affair when he adds, “I don’t think we’re going to go from four to eight any time soon.”—Brandon Roos
