Hi, Jared. Or, whatever your name is, as you mumbled it somewhat unintelligibly at us at C . It could range from Gerry to Barret, and became a big topic of discussion after you stumbled out later. I want you to know that my lady friend and I were not fans on your political takes on what we should do about “the Afghanistan situation.” First, I'm not a political science major but I'm pretty sure we can't just go over there in our red-white-and-blue best and promote ourselves from hostile invader to King of the Desert. Second, I highly doubt it's the "Afghani broads" that need to be taught a lesson. Lastly, don't get me started on the logistics of importing that many freedom-flavored and American-made bald eagles to the Middle East, let alone training them to serve God and country as low-tech drones. I do appreciate you buying me that Pacifico, which got me drunk enough to finally appreciate (but not understand) your geopolitical ramblings.

THE FLY

Dance Partners Breaking up is hard to do, except in election years. CARL GUARDINO, CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, and county Supervisor CINDY CHAVEZ have do-si-doed on tax measures in the past, but the music stopped last year after Guardino threw his unabashed support behind his best bro SAM LICCARDO in the San Jose mayor’s race. Chavez went all-in for county Board of Supervisors colleague DAVE CORTESE. Things have since smoothed out, as Chavez is no longer sending Guardino’s calls to VM. That reconciliation, however, could be put to the test. The Leadership Group conducted polling at the end of May and found that 68 percent of respondents supported a 30-year, half-cent sales tax increase to improve local transportation infrastructure; a quarter-cent hike fared a bit better with 71 percent approving. Chavez serves as vice chair of the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), and on Tuesday she and her colleagues heard They Guardino’s pitch for Did putting a measure on the What? ballot next year. Because VTA is a public agency, it SEND TIPS TO O can’t run the campaign. As FLY@ WS. WS S. METRONEWS. a result, a bevy of suitors COM are expected to push for control of the organizing committee to fix potholes, improve transit services for vulnerable residents and extend BART to downtown San Jose, amongst other proposals. Guardino might find himself up against “personal friend” BEN FIELD, CEO of the South Bay Labor Council. Labor purportedly prefers broader language on how the funds would be distributed.

Guardino touts the fact that he has coordinated four successful transportation ballot measures in the past—all but one had the support of the South Bay Labor Council—but he’s drawing a couple lines in the sand. The Leadership Group insists it won’t lend its support to any initiative unless it has clearly defined projects, which requires two-thirds of the vote, and the measure must be placed on the November ballot to ensure more supportive turnout.

Making up could be equally hard to do.

Probing Honda TOO LATE Mike Honda will no longer let any of his House staff work on his campaign, but that won’t stop an ethics probe from moving forward.

Congressman Mike Honda shells out $65,000 on lawyers as pay-to-play investigation extended

BY JOSH KOEHN

M

IKE HONDA ONCE fell asleep during his own town hall meeting. The culprit: An extended discussion of Obamacare.

Honda’s also been seen dozing off on the floor of the House of Representatives on a couple occasions. The most recent inducement: debating a potential shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. Silicon Valley’s seven-term congressman has suffered from increasingly frequent bouts of narcolepsy, but this week he acquired a more compelling excuse for sleepless nights and restless days.

On Monday, the House Committee on Ethics announced that it has

extended its investigation into alleged improper coordination between Honda’s 2014 campaign and his House staff. Charlie Dent and Linda Sanchez, chairman and ranking member of the House Committee on Ethics, respectively, said that a joint decision was made to extend the investigation into Rep. Honda (D-San Jose) after a referral was received June 5.

Metro broke the news last week that Honda was the focus of an Office of Congressional Ethics review throughout the spring. Supporters of Ro Khanna, who hopes to defeat Honda in a 2016 rematch, filed a complaint last fall after Metro published emails showing Honda’s chief of staff and then-campaign manager coordinated invitations to an official State Department event, with the goal of tabbing guests for campaign contributions.

The emails—provided by former staffer Ruchit Agrawal—also showed

that Honda routinely used employees for household chores, such as setting up a Netflix account, on taxpayer time.

Honda’s campaign did not return a call for comment but did send out a press release saying that the “allegations do not rise to the level of violations of House Rules.” Honda has refused to publicly comment on the matter beyond noting that his chief of staff, Jennifer Van der Heide, has apologized for her actions related to the State Department roundtable held in early 2013.

In an attempt to change the conversation, the campaign pivoted on the news of an extended ethics probe Monday by announcing that Honda will take "unprecedented action" by forbidding his House staff from working on his campaigns. "I believe this action provides clarity for the public and a bright line for my staff that far exceeds anything required by the House of Representatives,” Honda said.

Adam Alberti, Honda's campaign spokesperson, called the House Ethics Committee announcement "simply part of the process that began with a politically motivated complaint issued

by Mike Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponent and his supporters during the last campaign."

Joe Trippi, Khanna's campaign strategist, said that the investigation goes beyond political gamesmanship.

"We don't believe the House Ethics Committee, which is bipartisan, would extend an investigation if there's nothing there," Trippi said. "Pay to play needs to stop. This just proves how out of touch Mike Honda has become."

The ethics probe could extend until Sept. 3, but the cost of coming under the microscope is more than a public relations hit for Honda; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also forcing him to burn through campaign cash.

Sadako Sasaki was two years old when she survived a nuclear bomb detonating a mile from her home in Hiroshima. Ten years would pass before she developed tumors on her neck and rashes on her skin. She was diagnosed with leukemia.

Radiation from the bomb was to blame.

Bedridden, the little girl began to fold origami cranes. An ancient Japanese legend holds that anyone who folds 1,000 cranes will be granted one wish.

Sadakoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only wish was to live.

Congressman Mike Honda has also has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;1000 Cranesâ&#x20AC;? project, and he too wants to extend his life. His political life.

According to a transcript of a meeting between congressional ethics investigators and Agrawal, the whistleblower in Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ethics probe, the congressman and his campaign created a binder of highly valued donors, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;cranes,â&#x20AC;? to tap for campaign contributions. Other sources have conďŹ rmed the existence of this â&#x20AC;&#x153;1000 cranesâ&#x20AC;? binder. The goal was to get 1,000 people to donate $1,000 each, which would then leave the campaign with a cool $1 million. These donors would then allegedly have greater access to Honda for favors after an election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as I know, it's the Congressman's idea,â&#x20AC;? Agrawal told investigators, according to an unedited transcript. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a thousand people give a thousand dollars that's a million dollars.

A social network to provide a club for the cranes. Also to provide an ability for them to do the transactional work that's necessary. Hey, my relative needs a visa, I'm interested in this public policy. It's a place to keep the donors, they can talk. I don't know if formalized or not, if it was

just an idea, but there deďŹ nitely was a binder for it I saw.â&#x20AC;?

Honda has hired some of the best congressional investigation attorneys money can buy, and he may need to add more birds to his binder. In just the second quarter of this year, Honda spent more than $65,000 on legal fees for three separate ďŹ rmsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;18 percent of the money he raised from April through June. Two of the three ďŹ rms Honda hired, Brand Law Group and Miller & Chevalier, specialize in political scandals, with their clientele representing a whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who of legislators who have been accused of breaking the rules.

According to records provided by the Federal Elections Commission, Brand Law Group has received almost $890,000 from some of Congressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most investigated legislators going back to 2006. A small sample of the roster: â&#x20AC;˘ Michigan Rep. John Conyers shelled out more than $99,000 over an eight-year period, with the highest single payment occurring during the same time his wife and then-Detroit city council president, Monica Conyers, was convicted on bribery charges. â&#x20AC;˘ Former U.S. Senator Larry â&#x20AC;&#x153;wide stanceâ&#x20AC;? Craig burned through $101,000 in a four-month period after the former U.S. Senator made headlines for trying to hook up in a Minneapolis airport bathroom. â&#x20AC;˘ Florida Rep. Rob Andrews racked up nearly $243,000 in fees over an eight-year period, before resigning last year while a House ethics probe looked into misuse of campaign funds. â&#x20AC;˘ Illinois Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. brought the ďŹ rm on sporadically between 2010 and 2012, before being sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for misusing $750,000 in campaign funds.

Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other specialized ďŹ rm, Miller & Chevalier, has received more than $35,000 in payments from the campaign as of June 30. The ďŹ rm recently handled an OCE investigation of Judy Chu (D-Pasadena), who was also under investigation for commingling House duties and campaign work. She paid Brand Law Group $74,000 in legal fees and was reprimanded for interfering with the investigation.

As the ethics probe into Honda moves forward, investigators will now have the power to subpoena witnesses who declined to meet during the initial review. Sources tell Metro that several witnesses hope to be called back to tell their side of the story.

Wine Pavilion There’s more to Gilroy than just garlic.

Wineries are huge in the Garlic Captial and South Santa Clara County, so it’s only fitting to bring them together at the Garlic Festival. The Wine Pavilion, located on the Ranch side of the festival grounds, is the place to sample vino from from several local wineries. Wine, mimosas, dessert wine over ice cream and some well-needed shade can all be enjoyed at the pavilion and it’s all brought to you by the Gilroy Rotary

Garlic Dream Wedding

YOU CAN’T SPELL ‘CLOVE’ WITHOUT ‘LOVE’ Mr. Garlic, pictured here doling out high fives at last year’s festival, will be presiding over the wedding of two garlic-loving lovebirds this year.

Six can’t-miss attractions at this year’s Gilroy Garlic Festival

BY ERIN REDMOND

T

HIS WEEKEND marks the 37th annual Gilroy Garlic Festival— offering enthusiasts of the pungent bulb—yet another chance to bask in all things garlic. This year includes crowd festival favorites, such as the legendary peppersteak sandwiches and the oddly flavorful garlic ice cream, cooking competitions, games, wine and Mr. Garlic, who will preside over the festival’s first-ever wedding.

Here is our round-up of can’t-miss events and attractions:

Gourmet Alley The Garlic Festival didn’t establish itself as one of the Bay Area’s premier cuisine attractions by accident. The food found at Gourmet Alley is unlike any other.

It’s here you can find garlicky culinary concoctions the likes of peppersteak sandwiches, pasta con pesto, calamari, Italian sausage sandwiches, scampi, garlic bread and garlic fries. Is your mouth watering yet?

Pyro Chefs Speaking of Gourmet Alley, while you’re there it’s a necessity to check out the Garlic Festival’s famous pyro chefs. As someone who had the honor of doing a flame-up with the chefs last year, I can tell you it is no easy feat—and they’ve got the burns to prove it. These chefs not

only cook up delicious treats for festivalgoers, but they do it with flare. With flames reaching several feet in the air, it takes serious training to cook like the pyro chefs do. Stop by Gourmet Alley to see the chefs in action.

Cook-off Competitions For amateur and professional chefs alike, the Garlic Festival is a big deal. It’s here that chefs of all levels go head-to-head in three heated cook-off challenges.

On Friday, executive chef teams from Chico State University, Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo and the University of San Francisco square off against the defending champs from Santa Clara University in the Garlic Bowl MMXV at 2 p.m. The teams will put their best garlic-infused dish forward as each looks to win $5,000 in scholarships for their school.

On Saturday, eight amateur chefs— selected from among thousands of applicants—will compete for the coveted garlic crown and a $5,000 prize

On Sunday, the bells will be ringing as two garlic-loving lovebirds will tie the knot, or renew their vows, in a wedding ceremony presided over by none other than Mr. Garlic himself—a giant, anthropomorphic clove of garlic.

The winners of the contest have yet to be announced, but whoever the lucky couple is, they’ll walk away with more than life-long companionship. They also leave with a honeymoon package valued at $5,000 and the priceless sense of security that comes with knowing your significant other is not a vampire

Free Garlic Ice Cream Gilroy’s temperatures in late July can easily hit the mid-to-high 90s—just ask anyone who attended last year’s festival.

If you’re looking for a refreshing and free way to cool down, visit Olam’s Garlic Ice Cream booth. The combination of garlic and ice cream may not seem appetizing, but it makes for an oddly delicious treat. It doesn’t hurt to try anything once, right?

Garage Graduates ONWARD AND UPWARD The art-thinkers of ZERO1 are leaving the garage to focus on global collaborative projects.

ZERO1 outgrows its physical exhibition space on South First Street

BY GARY SINGH

T

HE GOAL since ZERO1’s inception 15 years ago has been to see how artists can get people, especially those in tech, to think differently.

Now ZERO1 is expanding that strategy to establish partnerships in which artistic thinking can impact social innovation. As a result, devoting massive resources to fund a permanent physical exhibition space like the ZERO1 Garage is no longer realistic.

ZERO1 will still function as a presenting arts organization— the next biennial is planned for 2016—but the organization will now also plot global collaborative projects in which art-think is used to tackle larger societal issues. For example, ZERO1 already collaborates with the U.S. State Department on the American Arts Incubator Program, an international new media exchange effort where four artists travel every year to places like Laos and Mongolia and use artistic perspectives to help solve problems.

Similarly, ZERO1 already organizes a fellowship program in which artists team up with institutions like Google, Adobe or the city of San Jose to solve business problems like map design, cloud issues or urban

wayfinding. Both of those initiatives were launched at the ZERO1 Garage, and now the organization imagines similar programs, perhaps with artists and NGOs partnering to address education issues, women’s rights or working to help eradicate poverty. Yes, ZERO1 is moving out of the garage and into a more fluid and globally connected theater of operations.

“We never saw the garage as a permanent solution,” said ZERO1 Executive Director Joel Slayton.

“It was an opportunity to try something, experiment, take a chance and see what would happen.

And it gave us the opportunity to incubate all these programs and move the needle along, but it doesn’t mean that’s what we have to do forever. So we’re going to take what we developed there to the next level.”

It makes sense. Apple and Google didn’t stay in their respective garages either, right?

At the Computer History Museum, the fundraising event began outside in the parking lot.

Mark Pauline of Survival Research Labs (SRL) brought a few of his legendary machines, the Spine Robot and the Track Robot in particular, and let them engage each other in metal-bashing fashion. If you’re unfamiliar with SRL, Pauline, along with the guys and gals who work for him, have staged violently humorous robotic spectacles since the late-70s and have been longsince banned by regulatory officials in San Francisco from staging anything interesting. The SRL connection to ZERO1 runs deep. At the first ZERO1 Biennial in 2006, Pauline staged the first grand-scale Bay Area SRL performance in years, in the parking lot behind the South Hall of the convention center.

Once the fundraiser continued inside the museum, high rollers munched on arancini balls with risotto and parmesan cheese while the SRL track robot menaced people in front of the stage. Amy Critchett, who is also Pauline’s wife, spoke about her involvement with ZERO1 since its inception. It was through ZERO1 that she met Pauline. Slayton also waxed poetic, as did original ZERO1 founder Andy Cunningham. Noted vocalist Pamela Z gave a rousing interactive performance using her voice and hands to trigger computergenerated signal processing in real time. After the speeches, a live auction commenced in order to raise funds for the ZERO1 portfolio of ideas.

Now, just because ZERO1 is evolving globally does not mean it will abandon San Jose. Cunningham envisions more partnerships similar to the Artist Fellowship Programs, but more geared toward societal issues.

“I want to do the same thing with a different set of artist fellows working on social problems,” she told me. “For example, is there gang violence in San Jose that we could put an artist on to help solve that problem in a different way?

Is there an educational issue that we can put an artist on? I’d like to identify three or four different social organizations, where we can partner up with them and give them an artist for a year to help them solve their problems in a different way.”

save water, drink beer

C

ALIFORNIA is in the midst of one of the most severe droughts on record. And while weather scientists are forecasting a wet and wild El Niño this winter, we’re parched right now. Fortunately, Silicon Valley Beer Week kicks off this weekend, providing the perfect opportunity to unironically follow the directions of pickup truck bumper stickers, novelty T-shirts and country singer Chris Young.

That’s right. It’s time to save water and drink beer.

From July 24 to Aug. 1, venues, restaurants and breweries all over the valley will be hosting beer tastings, specialty food pairings, educational seminars and tap-takeovers, among other beer-oriented events.

There’s a whole lot going on over the next eight days and with all beer on tap, in bottles and cascading from pitchers, things are sure to get a bit confusing.

But never fear. That’s what our Silicon Valley Beer Week guide is for. This issue features a comprehensive list of every scheduled Beer Week event (as of our print deadline, that is). But that’s not all.

Tired of getting punched in the face

with hops? You’re not alone. We spoke to local brewers from all over Silicon Valley to find out whether the bitey and often bitter IPA has reached a tipping point.

Also inside, read about the contentious battles micro-breweries are waging with each other over the fonts, slogans, quips and even the beer-related puns they print on their labels.

And finally, we’ve highlighted of some of the best, locally owned suds shops in Silicon Valley. From Jane’s Beer Store in Mountain View to Kelly’s Liquors in San Jose’s Japantown, the dedicated beer fanatics at each of these locations will provide knowledge and assistance in tracking down the best beers available.

Name that Beer Clever brewers jump through legal hoops to brand brews BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

F

OR THE BETTER part of two decades, Lagunitas Brewing Co. has relied on its signature India Pale Ale for the bulk of its sales. The hopped-up vim that triggered an IPA craze still driving the craft beer market bears a distinctive, widely recognized trademark.

“Lagunitas IPA,” the label boasts—its acronym a bold, black, frayed-at-the-edges serif font.

When Chico-based Sierra Nevada

Brewing slapped a similar-looking arrangement of those same three letters onto a new brew called Hop Hunter IPA this past January, Lagunitas founder Tony Magee couldn’t help but feel territorial. The Petaluma brewer filed a federal complaint alleging trademark infringement to defend his turf—not over the acronym, which is almost universal at this point, but the way it looked.

Though Magee dropped the lawsuit a day later after social media backlash over the volley, the case marked one of the first times that two major craft brewers fought each other in court. It also signaled a growing trend of bouts

between brewers over branding and naming rights.

“It can feel like we’ve run out of clever wordplay,” Gordon Biersch co-founder and San Jose native Dan Gordon said in an interview about a drink he’s dubbed No Name Cider until its release this fall. “We’re not, of course, but it’s much more competitive to come up with something original.”

Hops-related puns seem all but played out: Hop Drop ‘n Roll, Rye of the Tiger, Hopportunity Knocks, Hopscotch, Hoptical Illusion. Bock, a type of strong dark beer, has inspired its own forever-long list of ciphers: Pandora’s Bock, Men in Bock, Bock to

the Future. Lagers, pilsners, ales, sours and all else between hold a wealth of branding possibilities. But with an everincreasing number of brewers drawing from a similar well of letters and phrases, overlap becomes inevitable.

“Everyone thinks they’re really creative,” said Candace Moon, a bartender-turned-sought-after craft beer attorney who works with clients up and down the West Coast. “But, not to knock them or anything, they don’t realize how many other people are out there playing with the same words and similar phrasing.”

Complicating the matter is the

Serving the Entire Silicon Valley

SACRED TEXTS The puns and slogans brewers put on their merchandise are in short supply. breakneck growth of the industry, Moon said. California has reached a clip that spawns a new brewery every 16 hours, according to industry groups, bringing the statewide total to upward of 600.

Nationwide, that number has topped 3,000, according to the Craft Beverage Association. And when it comes to branding, brewers compete with wineries and distilleries for trademarks.

Tom Clark, who founded Santa Clara Valley Brewing Company after a West Coast microbrewery tour a few years back, has sidestepped litigation by opting for hyper-local names. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature beer, Electric Tower IPA, takes its name from a former San Jose landmark. New Almaden Red, one of his year-round ales, pays homage to the quicksilverrich cinnabar once mined in the South Bay hills. Even with trademarked names particular to the region, Clark has resigned himself to the likelihood of a legal dust-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just waiting for our ďŹ rst cease and desist letter,â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh during a tour of his just-opened San Jose taproom in May. San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Strike Brewing Co. took the tack of sticking to a theme meaningful to the founders, but not necessarily dependent on run-of-themill puns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the normal things you can think of to name a beer have been taken,â&#x20AC;? Strike co-founder Jenny Lewis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tiny little brewery

in Rhode Island that will never sell anything over here, you have to go back to the drawing board.â&#x20AC;?

As a nod to fellow co-founder Drew Ehrlichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stint in minor league baseball, they named the brewery Strike. Initially, they kept things simple by eschewing individual beer names, christening early beers only by type: Strike IPA, Strike Lager, and so on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we wanted to have a little more fun with it, so we started riffing off of baseball slang terms,â&#x20AC;? Lewis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like that it tells more of a story, that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the underdog, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the little guy trying to make it in the big leagues.â&#x20AC;?

The resulting monikers resonated with Strikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall theme. Lumber Busters American Brown, Screwball Blonde and, her favorite, Horn Rounder IPA. Strike trademarked scores more they have yet to use.

A good name, Lewis noted, has to tell a story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ours do,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has to be simple, it has to get people talking.â&#x20AC;?

Ultimately, of course, it has to be original. As Strike found, that may require dispensing with worn-out puns in favor of something more authentic.

Or, as Moon advises, resisting the urge to name every single beer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I would do if I had a brewery,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One name, one trademark.â&#x20AC;?

Peak IPA Has the bitter and potent India pale ale finally reached the tipping point?

BY NICK VERONIN

BITTER BEER FACE We aren’t ready to start drinking Keystone Light.

We’re just tired of being punched in the face with hops.

T

HE INDIA PALE ALE is a lot like like reality TV: its dominance within, and influence upon, the industry that birthed it is undeniable. Just as virtually every network has a take on the reality genre, it seems impossible to find a taproom or beer aisle without at least one IPA. And, just as the TV-watching public have grown tired of the litany of celebrity vanity programs, contest shows and soap operas posing as documentary, so too have many beer drinkers begun to tire of that most hopped-up of all beers.

21 flower, which is added to beer in order to balance out the sweetness of the grain, as well as provide flavor, aroma and help prolong the life of a given brew. This last-property—the prolonging of the beer’s life—is what led to the name, India pale ale. During the 1800s, English brewers in search of a beer capable of withstanding the six-month ocean voyage from England to its thencolony, India, without going stale or being overrun by bacteria, hit upon the idea of crafting an ale with a heaping helping of hops.

“The over-hopping of India Pale Ales is really just an American thing of ‘bigger is better,’” says Dustin Cawthorne, manager of Jane’s Beer Store in Mountain View. “I hope that more brewers will scale back the hops and focus on extracting as much flavor from the hops a possible.”

He’s not the only one. Many craft brewers and beer snobs are turning their backs on the IPA—trading in the hop-heavy ales for the smoother, crisper finish of pilsners and lagers— both of which can be brewed to taste light and refreshing without coming out watered-down, like the American macrobrews so often derided by the microbrew set.

For example, San Francisco-based Anchor Brewing has been brewing its California Lager since 2012, and Ballast Point—long famous for their Sculpin IPA, which boasts a score of 70 IBUs, or international bittering units—also sells Longfin, a very smooth lager, which comes in at only 18 on the IBU scale.

"People want to be able to have more than one or two beers,” says Jordan Trigg, owner of Liquid Bread Gastropub in Campbell. “It is hard to drink hoppy beer all day. Also, I believe that more and more women are getting into beer and they have different palettes than men. Pilsners and lagers plus wheat beers meet their taste preferences.”

The founders of the recently opened New Bohemia Brewery in Santa Cruz are clearly ready to move beyond hop-heavy ales. NuBo boasts the only true pilsner brewing system in Northern California and they only brew a single IPA—aptly named “Another IPA.”

Some might say that we have reached peak IPA. Originally designed to survive lengthy, sweltering sea voyages, the extra potent ale has enjoyed a resurgence of late. Its rise in popularity is due to a number of factors, including lower overhead costs and a shorter brewing cycle— both of which make IPA appealing to both home-brewing hobbyists and low-budget micro-brewers looking to bring their product to the market as quickly as possible. A cheaper and easier-to-brew beer also encourages experimentation, which has led to a greater number and wider array of beers carrying the IPA label.

There are IPAs with floral notes, others have hints of citrus; some are copper colored and still others are pale blond. As the IPA grew in popularity and diversity, it inevitably became a symbol of all that was different and better about craft and micro-brew beers. Where the major American macrobrews were seen as flavorless and watered down, IPAs were said to have depth, complexity and character.

“IPAs opened consumers' eyes to alternative beer styles,” says Tom Clark, brewmaster of Santa Clara Valley Brewing.

Once American beer drinkers began to acquire a taste for this new style of beer, more micro-brewers decided to enter the game. And when they did, they stuck with hoppy ales, which, as it turns out, were much easier to make than the pilsners and lagers produced by America’s biggest breweries.

“It seems that most American craft breweries have avoided brewing lagers because of the long lagering time in the fermentation tanks,” says Priscilla La Rocca, co-owner of the Fremont-based Das Brew. “While most ales can be finished and in a glass in as little as two weeks, some lagers require several months to reach their peak.”

The quick turnaround time for brewing IPA also lends itself to experimentation. And since producing a beer as different as possible from Budweiser, Coors and Miller was the name of the game, upping the ante on hops became standard.

BITTER BLOSSOM The tiny, pine cone-shaped hops flower gives IPA its tart taste.

“There are definitely a lot more American breweries making lagers and pilsners (these days),” Cawthorne says. “The lager has been enjoyed across the world for centuries and will be for the coming future.”

Drew Ehrlich, founder and brewmaster of Strike Brewing forecasts a decrease in popularity of the IPA—if only because the people making the beers are getting bored. “Brewers, by nature, like to be creative,” Elrich says. “It can get monotonous making IPA after IPA, so its not surprising to (see brewers shifting to) make something at the opposite end of the spectrum.”

It should be noted that no one in the field sees the increased interest in craft pilsners and lagers as a death knell for the IPA. Clark, of Santa Clara Valley Brewing, which is known for its Electric Tower IPA, says he believes the uptick in lighter micro-brew is simply an indication of the exploratory spirit of beer makers and beer lovers.

“Brewers are thinking about different styles to experiment with while craft consumers are asking

about beers they have tried around the world or read about online,” Clark says. “These factors come together to form a great synergy that I don’t think exists in any other industry.”

Even La Rocca—whose Das Brew specializes in German style beers, like lagers, and only reluctantly gave in to producing IPAs—doesn’t think hoppy ales will disappear. While she definitely thinks that IPAs have reached a tipping point, she also considers herself a beer nerd who keeps up with trends the general beer consumer doesn’t. And for them—the average Joe or Joanne sixpack, IPAs are here to stay.

“The IPA demand won’t die,” she says. “Breweries will continue experimenting with new hops to keep the followers intrigued.”

However, La Rocca also thinks more breweries will begin exploring lagers, pilsners and other, less bitter, beers in the years to come—a relief to those who are tired of being punched in the face by hops.

Plus, they have a special focus on top-rated choices, often stocking the legendary Pliny the Elder, the fruity and crisp Sculpin IPA, and Supplication, which ages in Pinot Noir wine barrels with sour cherries for a whole year. Their Facebook page rolls with photos of their newest additions and features a charmingly sacrilegious “Beer Prayer.”

Haberdasher regains its place atop the the South Bay craft cocktail scene

BY JOSH KOEHN

L

ET IT NEVER be said that Cache Bouren lacks attention to detail. The craft cocktail impresario turned the South Bay scene on its head in 2010, when he opened the speakeasyinspired Singlebarrel on a nondescript side street in the heart of downtown San Jose’s SoFA District. He may just do it again in his new venture, Haberdasher.

The original experience of Singlebarrel was pleasantly unsettling: the lengthy external queue to build anticipation; an

interior as dark as a well bottom; page boy-styled bartenders suggesting and painstakingly preparing drinks based on patrons’ preferences.

It wasn’t so much a place to grab a drink as a place to have an experience, one that could be casually paraded over friends: Oh, you haven’t been to Singlebarrel? You gotta go.

But in five years, the scene began to change. Other bars emulated Singelbarrel’s drinks—bringing their own Michelin-star level of focus to cocktails—while eschewing some of the haughty trappings of a “sophisticated” bar. In the last year or so, Singlebarrel suddenly felt a touch anachronistic, which is a strange thing to say about a bar that’s intentionally shooting for that Prohi vibe.

Bouren could have sat on what worked but made a bold move to stay

a step ahead of the industry. After a brief shutdown for renovations in June, Bouren reopened the bar under the name Haberdasher, a nod to the tailored environment of craft cocktail lounges. The new specifications are a sharp fit.

Haberdasher is warmer than its predecessor, but that’s not simply because of the amber glow that has replaced the shadowy recesses of the basement. Derby hat light fixtures suggest a playfulness that didn’t necessarily come through in the past incarnation. If there is a line to get in, it’s shorter and moves quicker. No one hovers over tables admonishing patrons about flash photography or the proper decibel level of conversations. It is a bar that has found a balance. Thankfully, the drinks have not diminished in quality by any stretch, but the menu has been scaled down to facilitate serving at a faster, larger scale.

Our bartender, Ian, self-assuredly walked us through the menu, and

A Sharp Fit

the appreciation he has for the craft was evident. Gin gimlets ($12) have a special place in my sogged heart, and here they come in five different flavors: basil, cilantro, cucumber, mint and rosemary. The basil was exceptional, but the cilantro couldn’t have been smoother.

The “House Fittings,” a deft collection of gin, rum and mescal cocktails, offered more than a few standouts. The Old Creole ($11) is served sweet but smoky with demerara rum, Oloroso sherry, oak syrup and lime. Perhaps the best drink on the menu is the Zihuatenejo ($12), which fans of The Shawshank Redemption may remember as the wind-swept beach town Andy and Red meet to drink, build a boat and forget prison. Served with Mescal Vida, rosemary syrup and lemon, the frothy concoction is billed as “a sip of Mexico’s Pacific Coast.”

There is also a collection of craft cocktails on draft—the Moscow Mule ($13) actually comes with a copper cup you can keep; refills are $9— and the silky Old Fashioned ($12) is served with a cube of ice as big as heavyweight fist.

Bouren toured nearly four-dozen New York City bars in four days during the spring to cull ideas for his reincarnation, and it appears he pocketed the best of what he could recall. While still in its first month since resuming operation, Haberdasher may not have hit its stride yet. Bouren compared his new joint to a shoe still being broken in, but the look and feel couldn’t be more comfortable.

The staging of the lounge is perhaps the trend we should soon expect of more craft cocktail lounges.

Haberdasher is partitioned into two halves, where first-come, first-served patrons can find ample room at tables to the left, while a section of curtained booths and small tables are available by reservation to the right.

Providing a stylish balance between the happy hour crowd and save-thedate parties—a vast improvement on the trite bottle-service boasting of yesteryear—should become the norm.

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM Smithwick Theatre, Los Altos Hills Thu, 7:30pm, $10-$32 This Roman farce marked the first time Broadway titan Stephen Sondheim penned both the music and lyrics for a musical, earning him a slew of Tonys, including Best Musical.

It all begins when the aristocratic parents of Hero, an impressionable and naive teenager, go out of town, leaving their most trusted and senior slave, Pseudolus, in charge. Crafty and opportunistic, Pseudolus takes advantage of the immature Hero, seeking to curry favor and earn his freedom. Pseudolus efforts include setting Hero up on a date, staging a

mock funeral and sparking plenty of other vaudevillian mayhem. (JF)

JIM GAFFIGAN Mountain Winery, Saratoga Thu, 5:30pm, $50-$100 Jim Gaffigan is a living comedy legend. After becoming a household name (and putting his five kids through college) with his pitch-perfect Hooot Poockeeettsss bit, Gaffigan has cornered the gluttony-based comedy market.

The pale, pudgy lover of all things greasy, twice-baked, or covered in icing, also picks at the absurdity of life in his massive Catholic brood.

His gruff observations are balanced by the dainty and overly-sensitive voice he gives to the hypothetical listeners he offends, confuses or confounds. He’s penned two books, released five top-selling comedy albums, and made appearances on That 70s Show, Portlandia, and Law & Order. The first season of his new

self-titled show just premiered on TV Land. (JF)

The opera, based on Green Day’s 2004 Grammywinning album of the same name, was written by the band’s frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong and Tony Awardwinning director, Michael Mayer. It is an exploration of youth, love and loss in an age of media saturation. Kevin Hauge, director of CMT’s previous successes such as The Who’s Tommy, Rent and Jesus Christ Superstar, will direct the show and collaborate with

choreographer Kelly Connolly. The show runs through Aug. 2. (LN)

THE FACTION The Ritz, San Jose Fri, 8pm, $15-$20 In 1999, Thrasher Magazine named Steve Caballero “The Skater of the Century,” for getting massive air and inventing vert tricks like “Caballerial.” But beyond his pioneering advances in skateboarding, Caballero played guitar and bass in the San Jose punk band, The Faction. The group’s biggest hit is also their mantra, “Skate and Destroy”— featuring blistering drums, furious guitar and awesome lyrics, such as, “kick that bike” and “pass that jogger.” The band rails against cops, censorship and BMXers in their grinding, charging jams.

Caballero wasn’t the only skater in the bunch, drummer Craig Bosch coined his own trick, appropriately naming it, “The Bosch.” (JF)

MORRISSEY

San Jose State Event Center Sat, 8pm, $75 All indie music is linked in, at least in spirit, to The Smiths— that legendary British foursome, fronted by the iconic and mercurial, Morrissey. With his trademark, mournful baritone, Moz excelled at weaving tragicomic vignettes about love, lust, loss and failure. On songs like “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out” and “Girlfriend in a Coma” he explores themes of devotion and death— and the dark link between the two.

No one else could make getting crushed by a double-decker bus sound like “such a heavenly way to die.” (JF)

DOUG AND THE CARNIVAL OF SOULS REVUE Streetlight Records, San Jose Sat, 4pm, Free Doug Irvin, frontman for Doug and the Carnival of Souls Review, started his group last year with an interesting twist on the typical four-piece arrangement—sticking a violinist in the sonic space typically occupied by second guitar. Doug’s vocals smack of R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, and his lyrics attack the darker elements of life with a startling and engaging honesty. On the haunting “Have I Found Hell,” Doug pounds out a grungy solo over sighing violin. The band works quick. Just one year after forming, they’ve finished their White Car EP, a fivesong showcase of this singular band’s eclectic rock. (JF)

STIFF LITTLE FINGERS The Ritz, San Jose Sat, 8pm, $20 The late ’70s were a terrible time for peace in Northern Ireland.

However, during this tumultuous and dangerous period, punk rock thrived in the region. Belfastbased quartet Stiff Little Fingers reacted to “The Troubles” with music—channeling the angst they felt living in the midst of sectarian violence into highly political punk tunes. Their unrelenting energy and driving messages made them an engaging presence that had something to say. Their edgy melodies, and counter-cultural lyrics made them one of the primary influences of East Bay pop-punk titans, Green Day. (JF)

Shark City WHEN YOU’RE A JET City Lights Theater Company’s production of Broadway classic ‘West Side Story’ brims with vitality more than a half-century after its debut.

City Lights Theater’s ‘West Side Story’ is sharp as a switchblade

BY KARLA KANE

W

EST SIDE STORY is better than Romeo and Juliet. That's right, the midcentury musical masterpiece is greater than Shakespeare's quintessential romance, and San Jose's City Lights Theater Company mostly does it justice with its lively, intimate new production.

Most theater fans are probably already familiar with the show—the Bard-inspired plot, the breathtaking music (by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim), and Jerome Robbins' choreography. That ominous whistle. The haunting tri-tone of "Maria." Who among us hasn't gone

snapping, twirling and kicking down a city street in tribute? Just me?

Uh, anyway, West Side Story takes Shakespeare’s wealthy feuding Italian families and transforms them into rival teenage gangs in the 1950s slums of New York. The Jets, led by wild-eyed Riff (Josiah Frampton), are native New Yorkers who clash with The Sharks, recent Puerto Rican immigrants led by Bernardo (Nick Rodrigues). Shiftless rebels without a cause, the disaffected youth see no hope for their futures and must channel their energy into bravado, sex and turf wars. Fighting over their meager territory, the other common ground they share is a mutual distrust for grown-ups, especially doltish Officer Krupke (Howard L. Miller) and menacing Lieutenant Shrank (Frank Swaringen). Things get complicated when Bernardo's innocent younger sister Maria (Katherine Dela Cruz) arrives in town and falls in love-at-first-

sight with dreamy Tony (Max Jennings), Riff's best friend. Star-crossed-lovers spoiler alert: it does not end well.

Romeo and Juliet were doomed by fate, Tony and Maria by society. While Romeo and Juliet is a classic tragedy full of dramatic irony and the folly of suicidal, impetuous youth, West Side Story is a messier and uniquely American story of modern love and racial tension.

It's also much more moving, with a true heartbreaker of an ending. But it wouldn't work without the music (classic songs include "Tonight" and "Somewhere") and the snappy, beatnik rhythms of the dialogue, which manages to sound pleasingly cool and corny at the same time.

City Lights has a small theater and proves that, although it's a "big" musical in terms of importance, it can be done well in a scaled-down arena. There are many strong performances to commend here. Dela Cruz is ideally suited to the role of Maria, with an angelic, soaring voice. She outshines Jennings as Tony, who's sweet but struggles to reach some notes in his vocally challenging role.

The juiciest parts belong to Danielle

Mendoza as Bernardo's sassy girlfriend Anita and Frampton's Riff. The splendid duo delivers my two favorite performances—commanding attention in every scene in which they appear.

Mendoza does not disappoint in her syncopated, sassy number, "America”.

Frampton is a live wire with real star quality as the tough-talking head Jet. Other standouts in smaller roles include William Corkery as Baby John, the naive Jet, and Melissa Baxter as the desperateto-be-accepted tomboy Anybodys.

City Lights does a great job of portraying the disconnect between the teen characters and the hapless adults, whether they be kindly, like drugstore owner Doc (George S. Gamette) or villainous, like odious bad-cop Shrank (fun fact: actor Swaringen is actually a retired member of the San Jose police force). Doc attempts reach his young customers with "when I was your age" platitudes, only to be rebuffed ("You was never my age, none a you! The sooner you creeps get hip to that, the sooner you'll dig us"), while the bigoted Shrank's words resonate chillingly in today's world, where issues of race and police brutality still loom large.

As he remarks to the Sharks, "I got the badge, you got the skin." The rift between youth and adult society is best exemplified by the bitingly funny "Gee, Officer Krupke" number, handled deftly

by Sean Okuniewicz's Action and his Jets.

Ron Gasparinetti's set design is simple and effective: Silhouetted fire escapes and chain-link fence against an ominous sky. A few pieces of furniture are ingeniously repurposed to make a multitude of set pieces, and Melissa Sanchez's costumes are casually appealing—retro in style but not overtly so, adding a sense of timelessness. One drawback of staging West Side Story in a small space is a lack of room for an orchestra. City Lights opts for pre-recorded backing tracks and the energy that comes with live music is definitely missed.

On the whole, City Lights proves up to the task of bringing West Side Story to contemporary audiences, and anyone should jump at the chance to see it on stage, where it still brims with vitality more than a half-century after its debut.

T’S A GIVEN that a studio movie in 2015 won’t have the guts of a cable channel TV show. Even if Trainwreck is easily Judd Apatow ‘s best movie, anticipate compromises.

You could forecast it. Amy Schumer, the lady who does without apologies, was going to end up apologizing, swearing off the bad behavior and learning to accept the possibility of motherhood, instead of being weirded out by the whole child-bearing mess.

There is a studio movie-making logic to the way Trainwreck is built. This way, Schumer’s persona gets an arc, when she wises up and realizes that true love is what really matters. That logic has been proven to entice people to buy tickets.

And that logic is also what kills your interest in the movies, inch by inch. It’s the logic that makes you not feel like not arguing much when you meet someone who says that they hate movies because they’re invariably phony.

The important thing is that we do get at least 90 percent of the Amy Schumer we see on TV, as well as new views of her talent. She holds the big screen with ease. She’s poetry in motion—teetering on high heels like a workman on a badly-balanced ladder, wearing skirts so tight she’s hobbled.

One morning’s walk of shame to the Staten Island ferry leads to a hilarious homage of the Funny Girl helicopter shot. Her drunk scenes have no sticky pathos. She acts in a tearful yet profane funeral scene with deftness, frankness and vulnerability. The first time she has sex with the man she grows to love, she’s beautifully in control—you admire her nerve and gentleness, and the way she murmurs “This is happening” as she climbs aboard. These acting moments compliment Schumer’s drastic comedy

character, the character of a proudly drunk, and promiscuous woman.

Amy plays “Amy,” a Manhattan magazine writer indoctrinated as a child by her no-good philandering dad to the idea that monogamy never works. As an adult, she helps herself to an ever-rotating wheel of guys. She’s currently stuck on one good-hearted ox (played by the wrestling star John Cena), splendidly built and terrible in bed.

Amy works at a horrible lad-magazine S’Nuff, pronounced “It’s enough.” Her mean, lock-jawed British editor (Tilda Swinton, a scream) forces Amy to do a profile on a self-effacing sports medicine surgeon named Aaron (a well-cast Bill Hader). Inevitably, Amy pounces on the doctor after a night of dinner and drinks. When she wakes in the morning, Amy is caught in a fork. She harbors strange new uncomfortable feelings for Aaron, who she previously would have used fast and dropped hard. And the only alternative Amy can imagine to the nights of drinking and sleeping around is the life her sister (Brie Larsen) has— she’s a mommy, married to a dullard, and pregnant again.

The male life is situated as less fun than the way the women get along, but LeBron James—as Aaron’s pal and

Love Hangover

sounding board—plays himself with surprising flexibility.

Some of Trainwreck is typical Apatow” flywheel of comedy” where riffs are improved upon and further improved upon, then edited for best takes. An example here is the building up of descriptions of a used tampon going from merely unpleasantly gross to “the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones.” The movie runs long—and part is to fill in the spaces and to keep the arguments from seeming too abrupt. Up until its slapdash ending, Trainwreck emphasizes the shifts of moods over mere riffing.

Has there been a performer like Schumer since Mae West, who also wasn’t very tall, and certainly not that classical looking, who seemed to excel in many different formats—Schumer is a prime comedy dancer, with enough chops that you don’t feel sorry for her when she’s out on the floor. Has there been a performer since Mae West who took such ardor in sex and had such natural resistance to slut shaming?

Considering how different Schumer is from her predecessors is what makes Trainwreck exciting. You start to detect a new kind of screen comedy—Schumer’s persona is anything but a bro disguised as a girl. Throughout Trainwreck—as throughout Schumer’s work—are multiple sharp, reverse-angle points of view on situations that are the essence of feminism…feminism, which is never to be mistaken for a system that claims that women are always right all the time.

Trainwreck exposes the consistently shlocky and derivative quality of Manhattan rom coms in a multi-level attack—Amy keeps stumbling into a movie within a movie titled The Dogwalker starring Daniel Radcliffe and Marisa Tomei as a couple talking about their feelings in barely disguised terms about canine affection. In the “lovemontage,” a famous Central Park boulder used as a meeting place for so many cinematic snuggles is denounced as the homeless person’s bathroom.

Schumer had to compromise to get Trainwreck made, but the compromises are all worth it. It’s her movie, from first voice over (“Don’t judge me”) to the last kiss that has Amy in a favorite Amy Schumer-character position: on her back.

REVIEW

SENILE SLEUTH Ian McKellen plays an aging Sherlock Holmes struggling against the onset of dementia in ‘Mr. Holmes.’

Valley Of Forgetfulness MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES is opposed by an ultimate foe—old age—in one struggle he cannot win. Based on Mitch Cullin’s novel, A Slight Trick of the Mind, the new Bill Condon film, Mr. Holmes, brings the director and Ian McKellen together for the first time since Gods and Monsters (1998).

Set in 1947, it tells of Holmes’ retirement in the country as a beekeeper. He’s tended by an impatient cook, Mrs. Munro (Laura Linney, with a featherlight English accent), and her brainy, fatherless son, Roger (Milo Parker).

Holmes’ cottage is an easy walk from the White Cliffs; the aftermath of the war is symbolized by the wing of a wrecked German plane, still sticking out of the ground where it crashed.

He’s just returned from an arduous trip to Japan with some foul Japanese root called “prickly ash” that may fight the coming of senility. He turns his waning faculties on two final cases. One is the question of what is killing his bees. The second is a true account of his last client, in events that happened three decades before—a story already fictionalized and given a happy ending by Dr. Watson. Holmes cannot

recall the real outcome, despite certain sharp memories of a lady’s gray glove and the trilling of a glass harmonica.

McKellen is 76, and he’s very hale in the 1920s flashbacks.

Mr. Holmes He swings his walking stick with brio; these scenes PG; 105 Mins. alternate with his presentValleywide day Holmes—blank and ape-like, as the vacancy of mind strikes him. This is an acute, bravely unsentimental portrait of decay, and it's as tough to watch as it is impossible to turn away from.

The tale is thickened with red herrings mostly having to do with the Japanese voyage, where Holmes literally sifts the ashes of the war. When you see Holmes’ name you expect adventure and danger, not a memory piece, and so there’s something a little disconcerting about Mr. Holmes.

Still, it’s a touching and elegant film, with a deep, pellucid poignancy softened

by Carter Burwell’s soundtrack. There’s nothing pandering about McKellen’s foxy yet affecting performances, both as the sage in his ’60s, who fails to see a clue in plain sight, and the nonagenarian recluse with a crumbling mind.—Richard von Busack

Bad Girl MS MOZ Avant garde alt-rocker Amanda Palmer opens for her teen idol, Morrissey at the San Jose State Event Center this Saturday.

Amanda Palmer is a proponent of ‘women misbehaving’

BY JODY AMABLE

I

T’S HARD TO TALK about Amanda Palmer without first addressing her haters.

From her days as the frontwoman of The Dresden Dolls to her flourishing solo career, Palmer, like her hero, Morrissey—for whom she’ll be opening at Event Center on Saturday—has been on the receiving end of public criticism for pretty much as long as she's been an artist.

Why? Take your pick. She bared her breasts onstage. She wrote a bouncy song about some pretty dark subject matter—the tale of a girl raped at a

party and her subsequent positive STI test and abortion. She asked local musicians to play dates with her for free. She married geek hero Neil Gaiman. She doesn’t shave her armpits.

“People really don’t like being confronted by women misbehaving,” she says, rather calmly for someone who has a section specifically for hate mail on her band’s site. “Whereas men misbehaving can be kind of sexy. That’s part of this game of entertainment.”

She is, admittedly, hugely influenced

by Morrissey. Palmer was a teenager in the ’80s—hormonally primed to be influenced by the sweeping drama of The Smiths. “I got my first Smiths tape when I was 14, 15,” she says over the phone, driving home to Boston from upstate New York. “One side was Strangeways, the other Meat is Murder. I just wore it into the ground.”

The Smiths and their contemporaries (Depeche Mode, The Pixies, Nick Cave and “all that dark apocalyptic stuff one of my boyfriends got me into”) have always been lurking in her work, even when she was writing vampy cabaret choruses on keys as one half of “punk cabaret” weirdoes The Dresden Dolls, which is where she got her start. She’s always had a theatrical, sentimental bent, somber but never sappy. Both her and Morrissey’s bodies of work speak of something more suited for the Shakespearean stage or a Lifetime movie than moody, morose rock ‘n roll.

“One of the things I love about being an older musician and having the perspective of time is that your own formation is a mystery to be solved,” she says—posing and then answering a question. “Why did the Smiths speak to me? The music you listen to as a teenager, you take for granted, until you look back at the greater context of things and realize there wasn’t anyone writing

songs like that. Now I realize how formative it was.”

These days, after years of sticking almost solely to piano, she’s starting to work her way back to the sounds that started it all. “My really early music has cheesy synths and handclaps,” she says.

Theater Is Evil, her 2012 crowdfunded record, which drew $1 million (she asked for $100,000), saw her going allin on ‘80s conventions—making heavy use of the synthesizer. She is continuing in the same vein with her currently inprogress album, which she is recording with Edward Ka-Spell of The Legendary Pink Dots.

“I had this entire conversation with Edward,” she says. “We sat down (to record with electronics) and it was like I was going back to a language I hadn’t spoken in 20 years.”

Palmer’s opening slot on Saturday’s show came about under sudden, strange circumstances. “I was having lunch with an old manager of mine who offhandedly asked if I might want the gig,” she says. “In the mysterious ways of the underbelly of the industry, I was called up about the gig a few days later.”

She says she isn’t sure whether Moz personally requested her to open.

“I’ve never actually met Morrissey, but rumor had it he did attend a Dresden Dolls gig.” (If Morrissey message boards are be believed, he surfaced at a Dresden Dolls show in LA around 2008.) In any case, playing for one of her teen idols seems a fitting end to the most current chapter in Palmer’s career and life.

This will be the last show before she goes on an indefinite hiatus—she’s currently seven months pregnant, and not entirely sure what the future holds, musically or otherwise. “I really, really believe in living a life of no regrets and radical compassion for myself and others. There are times when I wish I did take myself more seriously,” she says.

“I feel like the key to life, as self-helpy as it sounds, is pure, unadulterated, simple self-acceptance. We are built the way we’re built. And that’s the thing I love about Morrissey. He’s totally and utterly himself.”

Like it or not, so is she.

CONCERT

big blog buzz with their wistful and bouncy tribute to Sao Paolo, ‘Nunca.’

‘Pathological’ Pop ALTHOUGH THEY ARE SIGNED to two record labels—including Barsuk, home to Death Cab For Cutie—and they recently released a well-received single, Oakland-based quartet Trails and Ways won’t be leaving the comfort of the bedroom, their prefered recording space, any time soon. And why should they?

After all, they arranged and recorded their excellent debut LP—the glossy, yet intimate Pathology—mostly in the home of their drummer, Ian Quirk.

“We like to play with lots of different approaches when we’re writing a song,” says guitarist Keith Bower Brown “This lets us work in our own space, lets us be more creative, have more time and less pressure around the process. We feel like we’re getting closer to a formula that’s really good for us.”

Trails and Ways Jul 25, 7pm, Free San Pedro Square, San Jose sanpedrosquare market.com

The members met while living in the cooperative houses surrounding UC Berkeley, but they didn’t start jamming together until after a bit of post-grad wandering around the world. Alongside Quirk and Brown, Hannah von Loon tickles lead guitar and Emma Oppen keeps everyone grounded with her dubby bass lines. In the spirit of their former residences, the band collaborates on lyrics, composition, and singing for each track, creating exuberant pop filled with thick harmonies and genre-melding melodies. “This is a creative journey for all of us,” Brown says. “We want to do it in a shared way.”

Their breakout single, “Nunca,” has the tinny guitar riff, galloping drums and infectious hook of a pop song, but the lyrics testify to the melancholy resilience of street life in Sao Paulo, a city that inspired Brown during a trip through Brazil.

“We have this idea of our music as always having an environment, a context,” says Brown. “It takes you on a journey to a real space. For ‘Nunca,’ I wanted this noisy, lively, very life-saturated space, like being in Sao Paolo, and wanting that noise to be an integral part of that song.”

“Nunca” caught a buzz in the blogosphere, and the band racked up 70,000 plays in a single day. With heavy emotional and political statements enmeshed within their dreamy, organic grooves, they seek to make popular tunes with a shiny surface that invites deeper digging.

“It feel dishonest to me to make music that strips out the trouble that you’re in.”

Brown says. “And I feel like I live in a world where a lot is not going well, for a lot of people, in a lot of places. How that hits me personally and how that can be the root of a great pop song is something I’ll be trying to find out as long as I’m making music.”—John Flynn

Paid Advertisment

The “CannabisConundrum.com” continues…

State Law vs. Federal Law The first thing that everyone MUST know and fully understand is the federal “Supremacy Clause.” 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 “supreme law of the land.” 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.

Question: 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? Answer: 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.

Conclusion: 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 The Attorney General’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.

REAL PEOPLE REAL DESIRE REAL FUN

I was engaged to a woman 20 years ago. We were in college and in our mid-20s. I realized that I wasn’t ready to get married and called off the engagement. I loved her and wanted to stay with her, but she broke off the relationship. I’ve had relationships since then, but I still regret not marrying her. She’s married now, and I shouldn’t even be thinking about her so many years later, but I can’t seem to shake the loss of her.

How do I get her—and, moreover, the regret—out of my head?—Stuck

The reality is, you’re the envy of a number of people—like those who ran up $80,000 in legal fees battling for joint custody of the suede sectional and are now working as a manservant for their divorce lawyer while living in a tent in his backyard.

You’ve got a bad case of the “coulda shouldas,” which, in psychology, is called “counterfactual thinking,” as in thinking “counter” to the actual “facts” of what happened. It’s basically a mental redo of the past—imagining what could have been. There’s healthy counterfactual thinking—using how things turned out as a reminder to act differently in the future.

Also healthy is recognizing that things could have turned out worse, like with all the divorcey fun above, plus having to borrow your kids like library books on alternate weekends.

The unhealthy kind of counterfactual thinking is what you’re doing—setting aside the now to obsess over how great things surely would have been, “if only…” Never mind how pointless this is, considering that the closest thing you own to a working time machine is probably a battery-operated cuckoo clock your grandma gave you. And never mind how this woman is forever 24 in your head—preserved like a bug in amber at the peak of her hotitude—and never does things those pesky real women do, like

nagging you to fix that broken thingie until your head is about to explode all over the kitchen wallpaper.

You can get out of Regretsville. You just need to have a funeral for your relationship. And yes, I know this sounds like a ridiculously hokey stunt, but more and more, researchers are finding that the physical is tied to the psychological— like that physical acts of “closure” lead to psychological closure and that treating thoughts as physical objects makes them as disposable as objects. In a study by psychologist Pablo Brinol, participants who wrote down troubling thoughts and then ripped them up were found to have “mentally discarded them” and actually experienced relief.

Following their lead, put this behind you psychologically by doing it physically: Write down what happened. Burn the paper in a dish. Maybe do a little ceremony. And then scatter the ashes as you would those from Fluffy’s urn.

And, finally, have a little compassion for yourself. You were young and probably immature, and you realized that you’d gotten yourself in over your head.

And to your credit, you had the guts to admit that you weren’t ready, unlike all the people who come to the realization that they aren’t but go through with the wedding anyway. (“Who’ll join me in a toast to ‘miserably ever after!’?”)

A good male friend (going back 20 years) is a great guy—fiercely ethical and very kind—and is irate about the jerks I’ve been out with recently. He has two guy friends he thinks I’d like. Is it safe to assume that they’ll be cool/respectful because this is coming through our mutual friend? (I figure it can’t be worse than truly blind dating online.)—Jerk Magnet A friend who cares about you wouldn’t knowingly put you together with jerks—which would be like recommending a prospective tenant to his landlord with “He just wants a quiet, safe place…” and neglecting to mention “…where he can pursue his hobby of balcony chicken farming.”

And the good news is that a good guy is likely to have friends “of a feather.” Studies by psychologist J. Philippe Rushton suggest that we have a genetically driven preference for both

mates and friends who are similar to us—especially in age, ethnicity and educational level, but also in opinions and attitudes. So, if this guy likes and respects women, there’s a good chance his friends do, too. But a “good chance” is not the same thing as an “ironclad guarantee.”

In other words, go in with your eyes wide open, because it’s still largely a gamble; it’s just less likely that your friend will be all “Found the perfect guy for you. We all call him ‘B’—because it’s easier than saying ‘Beelzebub.’”

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Latin motto "Carpe diem" shouldn't be translated as "Seize the day!" says author Nicholson Baker. It's not a battle cry exhorting you to "freaking grab the day in your fist like a burger at a fairground and take a big chomping bite out of it."

The proper translation, according to Baker, is "Pluck the day." In other words, "you should gently pull on the day’s stem, as if it were a wildflower, holding it with all the practiced care of your thumb and the side of your finger, which knows how to not crush easily crushed things—so that the day's stem undergoes increasing tension and draws to a tightness, and then snaps softly away at its weakest point, and the flower is released in your hand." Keep that in mind, Aries. I understand you are often tempted to seize rather than pluck, but these days plucking is the preferable approach.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When I talk about "The Greatest Story Never Told," I'm not referring to the documentary film about singer Lana Del Rey or the debut album of the rap artist Saigon or any other cultural artifact. I am, instead, referring to a part of your past that you have never owned and understood . . . a phase from the old days that you have partially suppressed . . . an intense set of memories you have not fully integrated. I say it's time for you to deal with this shadow. You're finally ready to acknowledge it and treasure it as a crucial thread in the drama of your hero's journey.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The ancient Greek philosopher Thales is credited as being one of the earliest mathematicians and scientists. He was a deep thinker whose thirst for knowledge was hard to quench. Funny story: Once he went out at night for a walk. Gazing intently up at the sky, he contemplated the mysteries of the stars. Oops! He didn't watch where he was going, and fell down into a well. He was OK, but embarrassed. Let's make him your anti-role model, Gemini. I would love to encourage you to unleash your lust to be informed, educated, and inspired—but only if you watch where you're going.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Charles Darwin is best known for his book The Origin of Species, which contains his seminal ideas about evolutionary biology.

But while he was still alive, his best-seller was The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms. The painstaking result of over 40 years' worth of research, it is a tribute to the noble earthworm and that creature's crucial role in the health of soil and plants. It provides a different angle on one of Darwin's central concerns: how small, incremental transformations that take place over extended periods of time can have monumental effects. This also happens to be one of your key themes in the coming months.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A researcher at the University of Amsterdam developed software to read the emotions on faces. He used it to analyze the expression of the woman in Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, the Mona Lisa. The results suggest that she is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. Whether or not this assessment is accurate, I appreciate its implication that we humans are rarely filled with a single pure emotion. We often feel a variety of states simultaneously. In this spirit, I have calculated your probably mix for the coming days: 16 percent relieved, 18 percent innocent, 12 percent confused, 22 percent liberated, 23 percent ambitious, and 9 percent impatient.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "What makes you heroic?" asked philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Here's how he answered himself: "simultaneously going out to meet your highest suffering and your highest hope." This is an excellent way to sum up the test that would inspire you most in the coming weeks, Virgo. Are you up for the challenge? If so, grapple with your deepest pain. Make a fierce effort to both heal it and be motivated by it. At the same time, identify your brightest hope and take a decisive step toward fulfilling it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Actress and musician Carrie Brownstein was born with five planets in Libra.

Those who aren't conversant with astrology's mysteries may conclude that she is a connoisseur of elegance and harmony. Even professional stargazers who know how

By ROB BREZSNY week of July 22

tricky it is to make generalizations might speculate that she is skilled at cultivating balance, attuned to the needs of others, excited by beauty, and adaptive to life's ceaseless change. So what are we to make of the fact that Brownstein has said, "I really don't know what to do when my life is not chaotic"? Here's what I suspect: In her ongoing exertions to thrive on chaos, she is learning how to be a connoisseur of elegance and harmony as she masters the intricacies of being balanced, sensitive to others, thrilled by beauty, and adaptive to change. This is important for you to hear about right now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You're entering a volatile phase of your cycle. In the coming weeks, you could become a beguiling monster who leaves a confusing mess in your wake. On the other hand, you could activate the full potential of your animal intelligence as you make everything you touch more interesting and soulful. I am, of course, rooting for the latter outcome. Here's a secret about how to ensure it: Be as ambitious to gain power over your own darkness as you are to gain power over what happens on your turf.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I'm a big fan of the attitude summed up by the command "Be here now!" The world would be more like a sanctuary and less like a battleground if people focused more on the present moment rather than on memories of the past and fantasies of the future. But in accordance with the astrological omens, you are hereby granted a temporary exemption from the "Be here how!" approach. You have a poetic license to dream and scheme profusely about what you want your life to be like in the future. Your word of power is tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A philanthropist offered $100,000 to the Girls Scouts chapter of Western Washington. But there were strings attached.

The donor specified that the money couldn't be used to support transgender girls. The Girl Scouts rejected the gift, declaring their intention to empower every girl "regardless of her gender identity, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation." Do you have that much spunk, Capricorn? Would you turn down aid that would infringe on your integrity? You may be tested soon. Here's what I suspect: If you are faithful to your deepest values, even if that has a cost, you will ultimately attract an equal blessing that doesn't require you to sell out. (P.S. The Girls Scouts subsequently launched an Indiegogo campaign that raised more than $300,000.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider the possibility of opening your mind, at least briefly, to provocative influences you have closed yourself off from. You may need to refamiliarize yourself with potential resources you have been resisting or ignoring, even if they are problematic. I'm not saying you should blithely welcome them in. There still may be good reasons to keep your distance. But I think it would be wise and healthy for you to update your relationship with them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Over 10,000 species of mushrooms grow in North America. About 125 of those, or 1.25 percent, are tasty and safe to eat. All the others are unappetizing or poisonous, or else their edibility is in question. By my reckoning, a similar statistical breakdown should apply to the influences that are floating your way. I advise you to focus intently on those very few that you know for a fact are pleasurable and vitalizing. Make yourself unavailable for the rest.

San Jose native, MATT ‘MEGATOAD’ STONIE, recently took the 2015 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Championship title from Joey Chestnut (also of San Jose). He celebrated in a Live 105-sponsored victory parade in downtown San Jose.

Fans of ‘cholo goth’ duo, PRAYERS, turned out in force at Back Bar SoFa to catch songs from the San Diego group’s new, Travis Barker-produced EP, ‘Young Gods.’
