Coffee Talk Just started managing the coffee shop on Lincoln. You’re in here five days a week, sipping your chai, barking orders at my employees and playing at writing. Pale, big, with a dyed black gut bucket pixie cut from the ’90s. We get tons of people who use our place to work, most nice, some indifferent. You are the whiniest, most demanding person I’ve ever met. You FaceTime loudly for hours with your annoying friends about what you’re working on, then you’ll go back to browsing WorldStar or watch a movie with your headphones on. And I snuck a peek at your “work” once when you went to go bomb our poor restroom. It was the weakest sub-Thought Catalog confessional crap I have ever seen.

FIGHTING BIG TOBACCO IN SAN JOSE The BOOT (Butt Out of Our Town) coalition, coordinated by the Just for Us: LGBT Tobacco Prevention Project based at Tri-City Health Center in Fremont, has been working to stop Big Tobacco from targeting San Jose’s youth with massively discounted products.

Beginning July 10th it will be illegal for anyone to distribute free or extremely discounted tobacco products -- including e-cigarettes – or coupons for those products, anywhere in San Jose, including bars and clubs.

If you see this activity taking place after July 10, 2015 please contact: tfcoalitionscc@gmail.com Please provide the date, location and nature of the violation.

THANK YOU

Councilmembers For Your Support!

When did smoking become part of us?

Mayor Sam Liccardo Vice Mayor Rose Herrera Magdalena Carrasco Charles “Chappie” Jones Ash Kalra

Margie Matthews Tam Nguyen Raul Peralez Donald Rocha

Extreme tobacco discounts make it easier to start smoking and harder to quit. Over 100 studies have shown that when the price of tobacco is higher, fewer youth and young adults start and more quit smoking.1

Tobacco companies have been regularly visiting youth oriented bars and clubs (including an LGBT club) in San Jose offering $1 packs of cigarettes and free e-cigarettes, addicting a new generation to nicotine.

The LGBT Community in Santa Clara County smokes three times as much as the general population of the County. 2 The last thing this community needs is access to free and heavily discounted tobacco products.

Quit Smoking: 1-800-NO BUTTS 1 Chaloupka, F., Yurekli, A., and Fong, G. 2012. “Tobacco Taxes as a Tobacco Control Strategy,” Tobacco Control. 21: 172–180; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2010. State Cigarette Minimum Price Laws—United States, 2009.” Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report 59: 389–392,.

ROOF IS ON FIRE Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seafood revamped its sixth-story patio as a late-night lounge.

Upper Deck

D

ESPITE THE regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enviable Mediterranean climate and 300-plus days of sunshine a year, only a few local restaurants offer a rooftop alfresco view of Santa Clara Valley.

The Capital Club requires a membership to dine on the 17th ďŹ&#x201A;oor of the Knight Ridder building. Cielo, an open-air lounge, boasts a panoramic view of Santana Row from the seventh ďŹ&#x201A;oor of Hotel Valencia. Finally, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seafood Grill and Bar, which gave its rooftop patio a swank makeover in time for the warm summer months.

The newly renovated lounge, which sits atop a six-story parking garage overlooking downtown San Jose, opens Thursday night and features a new sound system, lounge couches, late-night food menu and an outdoor bar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives you a whole new view of the city,â&#x20AC;? says Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s managing partner Marc Buhagiar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could see the Tech Museum and all the gorgeous architecture of the buildings around us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole new atmosphere.â&#x20AC;?

Before, the patio was more an extension of the restaurant, with individual dining tables and the same menu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By switching it up with the layout, we hope to attract a new demographic,â&#x20AC;? Buhagiar says.

The late-night menu will include small plates, including ďŹ let mignon sliders, Caribbean-style halibut ceviche and lamb chops. The bar will feature an array of craft cocktails. Lounge hours run from 9pm to midnight Thursday through Saturday every week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Vegas and San Diego, rooftop bars are huge,â&#x20AC;? Buhagiar says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In San Jose, for some reason, there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t many places that offer it, even though the weather is perfect.â&#x20AC;?

Last year, he says, Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kept the patio open for all but a month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some nights the heaters donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut it,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the rest of the time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s booked. Even in the ďŹ rst week of December.â&#x20AC;?

Given the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proximity to downtown theaters, museums and the SAP Center, Buhagiar hopes to appeal to patrons of shows and sporting events, giving them a place to extend their night out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want downtown San Jose to grow in general,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gives people another place to go, another reason to stay.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jennifer Wadsworth

cookstoves a focal point of his global efforts.

Beyond the Plate

C

hef José Andrés began his career gathering firewood. As a young boy in northern Spain, Sunday paella cookouts were a staple. Andrés’ task was tending the campfire.

One Sunday, he told his father he wouldn’t collect wood unless he could cook. His father refused, but he explained that the best cook is useless without a good fire. This lesson became Andrés culinary lodestar, as he told students last Thursday at the International Culinary Center in Campbell.

“Before learning how to cook, be very clear in what your fire is,” he said.

“Once you understand what your fire is, you’ll be so powerful that nothing will be able to stop you.”

Indeed, little has been able to stop Andrés. He didn’t graduate high school or culinary school, yet he’s the Dean of Spanish Studies at the International Culinary Center, has appeared on Time’s “100 Most Influential” list, and was named Outstanding Chef by the James Beard Foundation. He teaches a “Science and Cooking” course at Harvard and owns restaurants from the avant-garde Minibar, which mixes art with science, to the “fast good” vegetable-centric chain, Beefsteak. Andrés vision is what sets him apart from other mogul-chefs. He sees beyond a pretty plate (and his creations are art), to the ripple effects of culinary trends.

“I want to know who believes in local?” he asked to an enthusiastic chorus of yeses. Andrés then broke down how buying local is a “threat to national security.” By emphasizing local produce, he said, we cut out other countries’ agricultural jobs. “We have people crossing the desert, trying to come America without a visa because they have nothing,” he said. Buying avocados from Mexico would improve the quality of life in Mexico and reduce the number of undocumented immigrants, he added.

This expansive and critical view of food has taken him beyond the kitchen and to the Dominican Republic, Zambia and Haiti, where his charity, World Central Kitchen, tackles sustainable food enterprises and healthy cooking. For most, “healthy cooking” means substituting olive oil for butter, or brown rice for white. For Andrés, it means clean cookstoves.

By WHO calculations, three billion people worldwide still cook with open wood- or coal-burning fires. The smoke from these cookstoves reportedly kills four million people annually, and fuel gathering often falls to young girls, preventing them from attending school. “This year we’re changing—this one I’m very proud—100 schools from charcoal to [liquid petroleum gas],” said Andrés, who is an ambassador for the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves.

Growing up, cooking was “a pleasure and also a necessity,” which has shaped Andrés’ pragmatic view of the way we cook, and the way we understand food choices. Now he’s on a mission to ensure that doing good deeds through food is done smart.— Lindsey J. Smith

EVENT

OH, YOU DIDN’T KNOW? For 19 years, Anthony Trevino has held Underground Wrestling Alliance matches in his backyard. Now he’s bringing his show to The Ritz. You better tell somebody.

Here Comes The Pain BRONSON SLUMPS in the corner of the ring, his face dripping blood. The greasy heel, Ref Guido, multitasks—delivering back-handed smacks, while taunting the crowd and covering a splintery, folding table in barbed wire and fluorescent light tubes.

Suddenly, a surprise attacker whaps Guido in the back with a pool cue, knocking him into Bronson’s arms. The beefy hero hoists his detestable foe into the air and sends him crashing Underground through the wood, metal and glass to win the match.

Wrestling Alliance “It’s like all your favorite stunt movies mixed in with a Jun 13, 8:30pm, $10 live-action play,” says Anthony Trevino, “the man behind The Ritz, San Jose the curtain” of the Underground Wrestling Alliance, a theritzsanjose.com burgeoning, locally-based amateur wrestling league. “The story is written out before the show starts, but the violence and the action that you’re seeing—they’re really kicking the shit out of each other.”

After 19 years of hosting thoroughly debaucherous matches in his backyard, Trevino and his roster of unhinged combatants are preparing to do battle in their new downtown home at the Ritz this Saturday.

It’s a big deal for Trevino and his grassroots wrestling league. Holding the rumpus at the Ritz, means he can advertise in print and online, which he expects will help grow his audience and legitimize his brand. Still, he promises that the intimate nuttiness of his backyard bouts will remain.

“We want to give everybody a little of everything,” he says. “We got comedy matches, the story-line heavy ones, the technical matches. But the crowd doesn’t really like the technical stuff, they’d rather see someone in a dress smack someone in the face with a dildo.”

The UGWA blends professional skill with amateur giddiness. Several wrestlers, like Ref Guido, have trained and performed at the highest level, making them masters of the subtle art of whipping a crowd into a frenzy.

The evening’s headliner is a Lumberjack match for the title belt. In a Lumberjack match, other wrestlers surround the ring, ensuring there will be no interference (in theory) when maligned challenger, Lockjaw, seeks revenge against the skullduggerous reigning champion, Holly Wood. It should be a doozy, especially since modern audiences come with proper expectations.

“I think in this day and age, the crowd is ‘in’ on it,” Trevino says. “It’s not the ’80s, when a bunch of dudes in mullets are trying to convince you that it’s real. Now that it’s in the open, we can get the bullshit out of the way. Everyone can have a good time and react however they want.”—John Flynn

Both are academics now.

Bonanno is in Scotland with his wife and two children.

Bichlbaum, who is gay, is trying to hold on to a relationship, endangered by his crusade. The Yes Men seek to warn people of global warming. They visit Alberta, scraped bloody by shale oil developers, and northern Uganda, being dried up by climate change. As the Arctic dissolves, the melt contributes to Hurricane Sandy, the wreckage of which is toured by the Bonnano and Bichlbaum.

What can be done, except to perform the same pranks in a new way? The Yes Men Are Revolting highlights the rotten life of a mainstream political journalist, nodding and scribbling at the same awful presser, listening to some undersecretary of something from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. (Too few realize these lobbyists from the Chamber are not affiliated with the U.S.

government, except in the sense that the Chamber owns said government.)

The film shows what happens when a Yes Men action fails. In Amsterdam, they stage a publicity event.

They pose as the grossly polluting, Putin-backed Russian oil company Gazprom gifting a polar bear to the local zoo, with The Yes Men the bear Are Revolting being two guys in a R; 91 Mins bear suit.

Camera 12 The moral: a prankster must get the best actors ever.

In the finale, they have a fine one, Tito Ybarra as “Chief Four Feathers” inducing defense contractors and U.S. military higher-ups to join in “a New Thanksgiving” celebration—a traditional Native American circle dance in favor of wind power.

The film reveals the Yes Men’s self-congratulatory side. And there is a bit of ordinary showbiz biopic tactics in the way this documentary is shaped, with its estrangement and final reconciliation. But the Yes Men are certainly brave—or at least brazen— and whatever their methods, they’re bringing news that the average person can use.

SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE The Corner Laughers new album, ‘Matilda Effect,’ is wistful, dreamy, witty and energetic.

Laughing All The Way SINCE THE RELEASE of their second full-length album, Poppy Seeds, the Corner Laughers have been busy. Several trips to Europe and two babies later, the Redwood City band has an album’s worth of new experiences to share.

While the lighthearted melodies and sun-drenched lyrics of Poppy Seeds make for an ideal road-trip album, the band’s new LP, Matilda Effect (out June 12), is a far more intimate affair—inspired by trans-Atlantic journeys and chronicling vocalist Karla Kane’s transition into motherhood.

The Corner Laughers The album toggles between wistful, dreamy textures and witty, energetic passages. Matilda Effect has the feel of a Jul 3, 4pm fairytale adventure through an abandoned castle.

Devil’s Canyon Drummer Charlie Crabtree’s son Pudge and Kane’s daughter Octavia were born in 2013 about six months apart. The band was in the process of writing Matilda Effect at the time. “Naturally we had to put some band activities on hold,” says Khoi Huynh, bassist and father of Kane’s daughter.

Brewing Co., San Carlos

The time didn’t go entirely to waste, however. Guitarist KC Bowman ran point on producing an album by the band’s “alter-ego,” Agony Aunts. Huynh says the resulting record, Big Cinnamon, went largely unnoticed due to a lack of promotion and supporting shows.

Kane (who reviews plays for Metro) delves into intimate lyrical territory on tracks like “Queen Of The Meadow”—which is based on the couple’s experiences as new parents—and “Octavia A,” a theme song for Kane and Huynh’s daughter. “She made up the ‘la la la’ part herself,” Huynh says.

Kane also found lyrical inspiration while traveling overseas with the band. The album’s lead-off track, “Fairytale Tourist,” features a Germanic-sounding Hansel & Gretel theme. “Sophie In The Streets Of Stockholm” is about finding a rubber giraffe in Stockholm while on their way to the train station. And “Good Hope” is loosely based on the diaries of Kane’s great-grandfather, who was a ship captain in the Aland islands between Sweden and Finland.

Though they cherish their globetrotting adventures, the band is proud to call the South Bay home.

All three of The Corner Laughers’ full-length records were produced by Orange Peels’ frontman Allen Clapp at his home studio (he lives in an Eichler) in the heart of Silicon Valley, and later at his mountain retreat in Boulder Creek.

During recording breaks Huynh and Kane enjoyed jaunts to Rancho San Antonio to “commune with the native plants and birds.” The song “Midsommar” was partly inspired by the Swedish Midsummer festival that takes place at Sveadal in Morgan Hill. —Raechel Price

The first thing that everyone MUST know and fully understand is the federal ³6X SUHPDF\ &ODXVH ´ The Supremacy Clause is the provision in Article Six, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution. This establishes the Constitution, federal statutes, and treaties as the “VXSUHPH ODZ RI WKH ODQG ” It provides that these are the highest form of law in the United States legal system, and mandates that all the state judges MUST follow federal law when a conflict arises between federal law and either a state Constitution or state law of any state.

AeUcdY_^: How can any state (Colorado, Washington, Oregon & Alaska) or California in this matter establish any state law or amend the state Constitution without violating the “supreme law of the land” known as the federal Controlled Substance Act?

JJUNE U N E 1010-16, 16, 2015 | metr metrosiliconvalley.com ossiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com m | metr metroactive.com oactive.com

The “CannabisConundrum.com” continues…

State Law vs. Federal Law

11

1^cgUb: In our opinion...they can't! As long as federal laws like the CSA, IRS Rule 280E and federal banking laws exist NO state can lawfully legalize something that is federally illegal! The federal governmental entities may NOT prosecute or pursue the states themselves but they've recently made it clear that they will go after organizations and individuals.

WWW.CANNABISCONUNDRUM.COM

A LLT TERNA AT TIVE MEDICINE

3_^S\ecY_^: We already have Prop. 215 known as the "Compassionate Use Act" here in California which does NOT fly in the face of the CSA for a reason. Remove (amend) the "grey" area from SB 420 to STOP the unlawful vendor model dispensaries from illegally "selling" and "profiteering" from a controlled substance and the transactions. Make a few changes (amend) to the "draft" closed-loop version of the AG Guidelines that have been sitting on Kamala's desk for almost four years now.

It's just as simple as that and then California will have the laws that already exist written properly and in accordance with federal law as much as possible instead of what other states are doing and then NO individual or organization will have to live with the threat of potential federal prosecution.

In his chapter on ice ages, agess, he h says geologists believe the earth ea arth has had numerous glaciation events, eventss, we're we e're currently in an interglacial period, and we’re we’re likely due for another round d of ice. Bryson also writes thatt global warming could paradoxically accelerate accelerrate the next glaciation, although althoug gh no one really knows. knows.
