Hey, mate! Nice trick you did there to get that free beer. I spied the maneuver, and since you pulled it off so fluently, I took mental notes. You sat at the bar with your brewski and chicken wings, watching the game, minding your own business. You polished off the wings and drank your glass of beer until only a quarter was left. Then you crumpled your napkin, tossed it in the basket of chicken bones and went to the bathroom to wash up.

You took your time and when you came back, the server had cleared away your table— glass quarter-full and all! You feigned shock, albeit very convincingly to someone less keen than I, then exclaimed, “Hey, where’s my beer?!” It sure looked like you were done to me. But technically there was still beer left, so they apologetically gave you a new pint, frothy and full to the brim. Kudos to your sneaky stylings, stranger, because I’m pretty sure you’ve pulled off that beer scam before.

IT’S time to admit that Silicon Valley is a bit of a freak. A paradoxical place where self-driving cars, drones and presidential visits are so common they barely merit a second thought.

Yet we steal elections with licked stamps and feed ballots into counting machines by hand. From $ 100 million mansions to a now-disassembled plywood and canvas favela that was ready for its own Zip code, the valley incubates diversity and embraces unconventional thinking. Our normal is never the norm.

This issue celebrates our exceptional existence. This is Metro’s 29th goaround of the original Best of Silicon Valley. We track the ramen joints and the Michelin star recipients, the local traditions and the new arrivals. We survey our readers and draw upon our own experiences to compile a useful roadmap to many of the valley’s noteworthy offerings. And, in a nod to the culture of invention, we built this year’s logo with the Tesla font by Lexi Griffith, and the script used in this issue is a typeface based on Nikola Tesla’s handwriting.

Over the coming weeks, winners will post announcements to websites and social media pages, and framed certificates will be hung on walls. Our mission, simply, is to recognize exceptional efforts and enable readers to discover and enjoy what’s here. We hope you like this issue. (DP)

NOT A DROP To Drink Andrew Schoultz’s new mural in Japantown is a commentary on California’s water crisis.

When in Drought A UNION PACIFIC TRUCK—riding the railroad tracks on specialized train wheels—stops just past the corner of Sixth and Empire streets, in front of a huge in-progress mural, and gives an obligatory warning before squeaking on.

“I’ve never seen that guy before,” says Juan Carlos Araujo, owner of Empire Seven Studios and the catalyst for what is now one of the largest murals in San Jose.

Empire Seven is only a few hundred feet away, so Araujo is familiar with the Union Pacific workers, whom he has met while overseeing the painting of the many murals along the tracks.

Today he is watching as L.A.-based artist and muralist Andrew Schoultz works on a large, complex piece of art, which covers a wall two stories tall and 50 yards wide. A veteran of the public art world, and a resident of San Francisco for nearly two decades, Schoultz knows the work it takes to complete a piece like this.

“It’s like an extreme sport”, Schoutlz says, reflecting on the process of covering 36,000 square feet in paint. To fully realize the mural, Schoutlz and a team of four people—including Araujo—working for five straight days, using everything from exterior house paint to boutique European spray paint.

The mural itself is an expansive and vibrant allegory for the water shortages that have hit California in recent years. On one side, a giant vase tips water, petals and tendrils across a long rectangular gradient that holds a large, mongoose-like creature. With juxtaposing styles, soft color gradients and forced perspective, the mural is both linear and detached by the section.

In the same way that the seriousness of the water issue is swept under the political rug, the painting depicts droplets of water smothered by large tendrils and geometric bundles. The emphasis of the figures and shapes are reinforced by a color gradient—white on the periphery and fading to a solid black strip, which runs the length of center of the piece.

Schoultz’s painting is the most recent piece of public art funded by the E7S Mural Project—which has aided in the creation of large works all over the city, but particularly in Japantown. Through the support of organizations, such as the Knight Foundation, and the persistence of Araujo and Empire Seven Studios, there are now more than 60 pieces of public art in Japantown, and Araujo, for one, couldn’t be happier about it. “It is a treat to have this in San Jose,” he says.—Tad Malone

RISING

Since 1993

Consistently Winning Best Of Silicon Valley Come See Why!

SOUTH SIDE SOUL Local vocalist Molia aims for R&B stardom with her new EP, out this week.

All About That RnBass DELIVERING A VULNERABLE vocal performance that humanizes the song’s complicated perspective, Molia sings “Does it matter that she told me everything?

Does it matter that you purchased her a ring? All that matters is you.”

She echoes the mantra once more, searching for self-acceptance: “all that matters is you.”

“Does It Matter,” the most recent single from her eponymous EP, has racked up 175,000 plays since its release on SoundCloud two months ago. And Molia, born Brittney Molia Schwenke, is humbled by the positive response.

“It feels like it’s a hit song now,” Molia says, seated inside San Jose’s Red Wall Studios, where the locally bred singer crafted the eight-song set and hosted a listening party this past weekend. “It’s really inspiring. I’m hoping that this project can do the same.” She’ll know soon enough. Her release officially dropped digitally yesterday.

The EP falls in line with R&B’s current it-sound, a wave indebted to ’90s and early 2000s acts and a serious love of heavy bass. They call it “RnBass.”

These sonics fit Molia’s personal tastes well. She cites Bob Marley and Lauryn Hill as key influences—which she discovered while growing up part of a vibrant Polynesian community on San Jose’s south side. It was there that she was exposed to reggae, hip-hop and soul from an early age.

American Idol fans may recognize her voice from a few duets she released in 2013 with season 11 favorite, DeAndre Brackensick. The two met at Oak Grove High School—he would bring his ukulele to school and the two would jam on the steps. The fun partnership led to two retail singles, including an incredibly soulful performance from both on “Fuss and Fight,” an original released in 2013.

After an introduction through Oakland vocalist Rayven Justice, who worked out of the same studio, Molia met producer Cisco Cortez—one third of production trio Dreem Team. It proved a potent combination.

“I wasn’t expecting the whole project to be just Cisco, but I’m really glad,” she says, explaining that everything turned out fine with just a single producer. “There’s something different about [every beat]. That’s what I’ve always wanted.”

“She makes it look so easy,” Cortez says, chiming in from an adjacent couch in the studio. “I’d never heard someone sing like that from my area. That made me want to push that much harder to break her out of here. I just want to see somebody from my city win.”—Brandon E. Roos ????????
