CLIFF RA RAWSON WSON VIA FFACEBOOK ACEBOOK
Effing techies are everywhere, gentrifying our neighborhoods, eateries and watering holes. As a humble bike mechanic, I have grease under my fingernails, not keyboard dust, and while I don’t make a sixfigure income, I take pride in what I do. I understand you’re building technology for the future blah, blah, blah. But I hope that in your attempt to build a better future you don’t drive my favorite bar to the point of shilling $10 beers and $15 Old Fashioneds. Because that certainly wouldn’t make my life as a happy hour lush any easier. Also, the signs says, “Cash Only,” and it’s only three bucks for a beer and a five for a shot of Jack, not Templeton Rye. Don’t act like you can’t afford that. And don’t say things like, “Here, use my credit card scanner and just download the app to your iPhone” to Nick, the longsuffering bartender-owner. Just pay the damn cash, complain about how the beer on tap isn’t from a local brewery and hybrid-car your ass back to your downtown high-rise. No one here has a Bitcoin account.

SWEET MASH Camera 12 Cinemas pairs short films with with pop-up shops and brewers Saturday in downtown San Jose.
Ideas Brewing
L
OCAL IMPRESARIOS seem to have a penchant for whimsical mash-ups: bacon and beer, tacos and innovation. Come Saturday, Camera 12 Cinemas in downtown San Jose will open its doors for an offbeat take on a film festival.
CineBrew, which takes place all day Saturday, combines pop-up shops, local breweries and short films. Organized by pop-up retail group SJMADE, Camera 12 and Hermitage Brewing Company, the second-annual celebration of beer, movies and indie entrepreneurship aims to highlight local businesses while drawing foot traffic to the heart of San Jose. “It’s not just a film fest, a beer fest or a pop-up show,” says Marie Millares, founder of SJMADE. “By being all those at once, it becomes something very unique. Local beer, cottage bakers and San Jose Made bringing that third element to the overall concept—we need to clash together more often.” For $30 at the door ($15 for designated drivers), attendees can pop in and out of short film screenings and sample from local brewers and artisanal food vendors. Some of the proceeds go to the Bay Brewers Guild, a nascent industry group made up of breweries from up the Peninsula down through the Monterey Bay. “Some of the cottage food vendors, you won’t find anywhere else, unless it’s by word of mouth,” Millares says. “This is a chance to try their product before they take it to the next level.” Hway-ling Hsu of Sweetdragon Baking Company cooked up a chocolate stout peanut brittle especially for the event using a stout brewed by Hermitage. I Dream of Cookies, a baker known for custom-decorated sugar cookies, will whip up several batches of beer-themed cookies. Other food vendors include Black Porch Bakery, Franci Cakes, Surrounded by Chocolate and Thao Tea. Breweries on the lineup include: Hermitage, Santa Clara Valley Brewing and Strike Brewing—all from San Jose; Faultline Brewing in Sunnyvale; Tied House from Mountain View; and Uncommon Brewers from Santa Cruz. Camera 12 General Manager Alejandro Adams said the momentum from last year’s event inspired the theater to develop a mixed-use market on the firstfloor lobby and a live music venue on the third floor. “Camera 12 is reinventing itself as a destination theater, the entertainment complex that downtown San Jose has desperately needed,” he says. “This will be a huge year.”—Jennifer Wadsworth CINEBREW 11am-11pm Saturday. Beer tasting from 1-5pm. Camera 12 Cinemas, 201 S. Second St., San Jose. Tickets: $25 via cinebrew2015.eventbrite.com, $30 at the door; designated driver discount, $15 in advance, $18 at the door; kids 5-12, $12 advance, $14 at door, free for ages 4 and under.

MUSICAL CONNECTION Based on the Oscar-winning film of the same name, ‘Once’ the musical tells the story of two musicians falling in love.
Love Songs THE BITTERSWEET IRISH musical Once has, despite its title, charmed audiences in at least two incarnations so far—as an Oscar-winning film, then as a Tonywinning Broadway production. Local fans will get a chance to see the stage version when the national touring company takes up residence in San Jose next week. Once tells the tale of a Dublin busker (Guy) on the verge of giving up his musical ambitions until he meets Girl, a single mother and Czech immigrant who connects with his heartfelt songs. She's a songwriter as well, and soon they're working as a team, making beautiful music together while finding they may have more than just professional chemistry.
Once San Jose Center for the Performing Arts Apr 21-26, $50-$130 sanjosetheaters.org
"It's a great date night show, a really romantic idea," says Sunnyvale native Tina Stafford, who plays the mother of Girl. The wistful, haunting soundtrack, by folk-rock artists Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who also starred in the film, is retained in the stage production and, in keeping with the indie-band spirit of the story, the actors all accompany themselves with musical instruments rather than relying on an orchestra. Stafford says the style of Once is a unique theatrical experience. "It's not like any other musical you'll ever see. We all play the instruments in the show—violins, cellos, accordions, fiddles—and we're all on stage the whole time, it's very unusual in that way.” As a fan of the film, Stafford says she was surprised at how well it translated to the stage, with much expansion on the stories of characters who just briefly appear on screen, including her own. "The script is simple. The characters are complex,” she says. “It's on the actors to bring life to the story.” She says the themes at the heart of the play make it universally appealing. "It's a story of hope and love, and the premise, I think, gives us all a chance to remember that we have dreams and they might still be possible." For Stafford, performing in at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts is a childhood dream come true. Though she's resided in New York for 20 years, she still considers Sunnyvale home, and will have many friends and family members in attendance during Once's local run. In her years as an actor, this is the first time a tour has taken her home to the South Bay. "To be where I always dreamed of performing as a kid—this is a thrill,” she says. “It's going to be a wonderful week.”—Karla Kane

Opening Reception: SPECTRUM an exploration of the never ending possibilities of an amazing material. The 50+ glass artists represented in this show utilize a wide variety of processes to create the work presented in the gallery.With high caliber skillfulness, these featured artists are able to mold an everyday material into fantastic visual delights. Whether it is traditional glassblowing, flameworking, casting, alternative print processes, repurposed found objects, or a combination of all of the above, this show illustrates a small slice of how artists are using this amazing material as an expression of their creative vision. This exhibition coincides with the Glass Art Society’s 44th Annual International Glass Conference to be held in San Jose this June.

BRING THE BOYS BACK HOME In ‘The Water Diviner,’ an above-average popcorn flick, Connor (Russell Crowe) leaves Australia for post-WWI Turkey in search of his sons.
Turkey With Trimmings ESSENTIALLY BAD, but certainly engrossing, like an unusually wellresearched supermarket novel, Russell Crowe’s feature-film directorial debut is full of visual scope and rich color. Shortly after the end of the Great War, in 1919, Connor (Crowe) is an Australian farmer from Victoria state who has the gift to witch out water. After he is widowed, Connor decides to use his penchant for finding things hidden underground to discover the final resting place of his three sons—killed in Turkey at the battle of Gallipoli. There may be some beating up on this film, but like the dingo-ate-my-baby movie (it’s called A Cry in the Dark, and it’s excellent), The Water Diviner deserves honor for dealing with history likely considered too sad to make a box office killing. As the end titles suggest, the number of WWI soldiers reported missing-in-action broke the hearts of surviving relatives; you can read of Kipling’s doomed efforts to find the body of his own dead son. Nobly observing the centennial of this Anzac calamity, Crowe stages the deaths of three brothers at the front to make it both wrenching and squalid. Men are not permitted to cry at much, but as in Peter Weir’s 1981 Gallipoli and the Pogues’ tune “The Band Played Waltzing Mathilda” we are granted permission here.
Trying to give it all an upbeat finish, Crowe and his screenwriters Andrew Knight and Andrew Anastasios added an unlikely rousing third act, staged against the GrecoTurkish war. Incidentally, Hemingway, who was an essentially bad but certainly engrossing war correspondent, was there a little later. He took the Christian side of the The Water Diviner fight, describing it in crusader’s terms as “The R; 111 Min. Turk’s return to Europe.” Opens Friday at By contrast, Crowe and his Camera 12 producers preferred to keep their host country sweet. I’d suggest not taking Greek friends to watch this film; Armenians also might prefer the Disney movie about the monkeys. Those with no skin in the game will enjoy Yilmaz Erdogan’s Omar Sharif-like character, Major Hasan—an officer and gentleman. These days, any friendly portrayal of a Muslim on a movie screen is refreshing. There are extensive (and glamorous) scenes of vintage Constantinople—replete with bazaars, mosques, a cute impish kid and slightly gratuitous Orientalism. Finally, the movie offers a very pretty Olga Kuryelenko, with whom Connor has a chaste, honorable romance. She compliments the Turkish costumes like no one since Madame Matisse.—Richard von Busack

NATIVE TONGUES Founded locally, The English Language moved to Portland for cheaper rents. They play their first San Jose show since leaving this week.
Speaking The Language KYLE LANGLOIS IS ecstatic. “We’re at this record-breaking concert thing,” he says, raising his voice to speak over the boisterous discussion going on around him. “We just finished playing. Now we’re taking pictures with a wooden fish.” He is talking on his cell phone from Chico, where he and the rest of his band, The English Language, just wrapped their set. The “record breaking concert thing” to which he is referring began The English Language on April 1, and has been going non-stop ever since at The Tackle Box—a venue in the small NorCal college town. April 24, 10pm, Free The guitarist for the Portland-based garage-psych trio The Caravan Lounge, is clearly excited to have played a role in cementing the San Jose new Guinness World Record for longest concert, which englishlanguage was achieved at around 8:40am on the morning of April music.tumblr.com 17, according to the Chico ABC affiliate. It’s about 5:30pm when he answers his phone. But Langlois is excited for another reason, as well. He and his band are making a homecoming trip to the city that spawned them. The English Language formed in San Jose in 20102. But despite building a strong local fan base, they decided to pack up and head to Portland in 2014 in search of cheaper housing and a stronger, more supportive scene. They found it, according to Langlois. “The cost of living is crazy in San Jose,” he says. “We have a cheap house in Portland (complete with a basement rehearsal space and recording studio). Plus, there are more venues and more bands.”

Still, he says, the band is “stoked” to be coming back to San Jose, where they are slated to play their first local show since leaving for Portland, this Friday at The Caravan. “We’re going to get to see all our old friends,” Langlois says. The group is touring behind their latest album, Happy Horror, a 13-track LP, which toggles between the freaky psych sounds, reminiscent of Thee Oh Sees and By Her Satanic Majesties Request-era Rolling Stones; the bouncy, fuzzed-out blues of The Count Five; and The Beatles—both from the British Invasion days and their more experimental years. The English Language recorded Happy Horror entirely on their own at their home studio—with the exception of mastering, which they outsourced.

While Langlois says he is excited to see changes in San Jose’s scene—like the opening of The Ritz and Café Stritch—he maintains that The English Language belongs in Portland, even if living in the same house as his band in the same house can be trying at times. “We couldn’t have done anything we’ve been doing without moving there,” he says. —Nick Veronin
