Around 6:35pm on San Antonio Road, driving toward Los Altos at the intersection by the Milk Pail. Apparently Googoo (sic) driverless cars are even able to break traffic laws, just like real human drivers! It’s illegal to leave a left turn lane (after you are in it, you are committed) except to complete the left turn. I saw you, Googoo car, exit the left turn lane when you “missed” the turn light and drove straight instead of waiting for the next left turn light. Law breaker! That maneuver is illegal because it is so unsafe. Especially at that intersection. Not only is there a curve approaching the intersection, but cars are speeding downhill from the overpass over CaltrainCentral Expressway. God save us from Googoo cars that break the law.

Party People State Senator JIM BEALL entered his Election Night party at the county Dem headquarters flanked by senate colleagues RICARDO LARA and President Pro Tem KEVIN DE LÉON. In a small room decorated with signs—from HILLARY CLINTON’s to San Jose city council candidates—a fewdozen attendees feasted on samosas, butter chicken, a triple-decker banana nut cake and cheap wine. Beall has slimmed down over the last couple years, but as of deadline he had a massive lead over his opponent, Assemblywoman NORA CAMPOS, one that could help him avoid the November runoff.

MADISON NGUYEN partied at a Story Road pho joint with Viet pop singers and beauty queens, reveling in her state Assembly trouncing of ASH KALRA, who barely edged out Republican VAN LE in early returns for a distant second-place spot. People met at The Plant to cheer on Kalra, who admitted it had been a trying race. San Jose Mayor SAM LICCARDO declared the evening “a great They night” as the Measure Did B sales tax won and What?

Measure C lost. The SEND TIPS TO unlikely architect of the FLY@ successful opposition METRONEWS. to cannabis deregulation, COM former mayor CHUCK REED, wasn't smoking out at a celebration with the city's big dispensary owners, however. Liccardo said he texted that he was on the road to Nevada. Congressman MIKE HONDA barely led in the rematch against RO KHANNA, which could spell doom for the incumbent who’s been embroiled in a House ethics scandal. Khanna said he’ll miss fellow candidate PIERLUIGI OLIVERIO, who terms off the San Jose council this year. “Honda won’t debate me,” he said. “Pierluigi got much better blows in.” At the South Bay Labor Temple, the party fizzled well before the third round of results registered on the mind-numbingly sluggish Registrar of Voters website. Unlike in years past, when Fly was ousted from the premises, new spokeswoman DIANNA ZAMORA-MARROQUIN politely chitchatted at the door.

Coming Out EGGED ON A Donald Trump supporter is pelted with eggs and other objects as the scene outside the presidential candidate’s rally in San Jose turned ugly.

Undercover conservatives rally for Donald Trump, violence ensues

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

I

N SILICON VALLEY, where political fault lines lie less between left and right than within liberalism itself, attending a Donald Trump rally feels like stepping into an alternate reality. For Mike Siebenhaar, a 56-year-old conservative from Gilroy, it’s a coming-out, a chance to show his true ideological colors.

“I can’t put a Trump sign out on my lawn,” says the South County business owner, one of thousands of people who flocked to downtown San Jose last week for Trump’s campaign event.

“I don’t feel safe doing it. Not where I’m from. The city’s full of Hispanics.”

Hours ahead of the New York billionaire’s scheduled appearance— before the egg-throwing, pepperspraying, pushing, chasing, punching, traffic cone-throwing and hat-burning that dominated headlines the next day— Siebenhaar and hundreds of likeminded Trump supporters stand in the sweltering heat outside of the San Jose Convention Center’s blue-and-white South Hall on Market Street.

Police barricade a several-block buffer around the venue, allowing only people who registered online past the metal barriers. No anti-Trump signs allowed beyond that point. A couple blocks away in Plaza de Cesar Chavez, protesters gather, hoisting banners that remind Trump’s

followers that they’re an unwelcome presence in a city where some 40 percent of the population is foreignborn. “Mr. Hate, get the fuck out our state,” one banner reads. “Brown ‘n’ proud,” exclaims another.

The massive striped tent, a redwhite-and-blue-decked crowd, peddlers hawking bottled water and a cowboy guitarist crooning praises to Trump give the scene a traveling circus feel. Adding to the vaudeville effect are the street vendors who’ve followed the Trump train from rally to flag-waving rally since the Iowa caucuses and set up shop along South First and San Carlos streets.

“We’re like a bunch of carnies,” says 51-year-old, sun-ruddy Florida native Ron Hillyard, who pulls a rolling cart of campaign T-shirts, the ubiquitous “Make America Great Again” hats and various pins blasting ISIS and boosting “hot chicks for Trump.”

“It’s business, you know, but I’m here for Trump, too,” Hillyard says. “He

BEAUTY ON A BUDGET

8 speaks to me and mine.”

Ben Meyer, a 20-year-old Latino college student, shows up well ahead of the rally in what he jokingly calls a disguise: a denim-on-denim ensemble cinched in the middle by a thick leather belt. “I figured the whole Western look would make me blend in,” says the San Jose native, who watched Bernie Sanders stump in Palo Alto earlier that week. “Do I look the part?”

All but for a “Great Again” snapback, I tell him. “Well, there’s one thing they have in common with Bernie supporters,” Meyer says. “They hate Hillary [Clinton] with a passion.”

So it seems. Not much later, a Trumpeteer strikes a pose in a “Hillary for Prison 2016” T-shirt. Another shows off his a red “Hillary go to jail” number disparage Trump’s presumptive Democratic opponent.

Throughout the evening, supporters say they’ve narrowed their options to either Sanders or Trump—anyone but Clinton. Like the Bernie camp, Trump folk consider the former secretary of state corrupt, the guardian of a status quo that’s brought crushing inequality and stagnant wages to millions of Americans.

Silicon Valley as an industry and a left-leaning enclave may have united in opposition against Trump, whose inflammatory rhetoric about Mexicans, women, Muslims and undocumented immigrants—among others—has stoked racial tensions. But the billionaire businessman’s America-first message resonates with a surprisingly diverse set of Bay Area locals who feel cheated out of the region’s prosperity.

“Without immigrants, this country wouldn’t exist,” says Jaime Abad, a 48-year-old Trump supporter whose family moved to the United States from the Philippines when he was a kid. “What got me to support Trump, is that all these jobs are leaving the country. All the manufacturing is going to Mexico. What’s left for us?”

A couple dozen people I spoke to before, during and after the rally wonder the same. Some fit the type—white, male and middle-aged. But a there’s a sizable number of minorities and firstgeneration immigrants like Abad.

On the surface, it’s a bit of a mindfuck.

How can Latinos rally behind a man who unapologetically called Mexicans rapists? How can so many people born abroad join the chorus to “build that wall?” Yet here they chant, armed with

posters and pins declaring their fealty to an unabashed nativist. One such sign catches the eye for its glittery letters and absurd specificity: “Mexican Millennial Woman 4 Trump.”

“When you come here legally and you put in the seven years it takes to become a citizen, it makes you angry to see people cut in line,” says Aurora, 63, who withheld her surname for fear coworkers finding out she’s a die-hard Trump fan. “I was 15 when my family left communist Cuba, with $400 in our pockets. We worked our way up and never took a dime from anyone. But somehow we’re asked to give more and more and retain less and less of our efforts.”

By the time the Republican presidential nominee steps onto the stage, Siebenhaar has endured hours of waiting—first in the sun and then in a sweat-soaked crush of bodies camped out by the stage inside the convention center’s blue-and-white tent. He lets out a celebratory yawp with the crowd, holding up his “Trump 2016” sign to welcome the only candidate in his entire life that excited him enough to register as a voter.

“Where are the Hispanics?” Trump bellows. “We love the Hispanics!”

About 20 minutes into his rant against Clinton, his presumptive Democratic opponent, a group of Latino protesters work their way toward the stage. Siebenhaar and a host of others point and shout in their direction.

“Get out,” Siebenhaar yells, nearly knocking me in the face by jerking his arm up to point at the suspected dissenters. “You don’t belong here.”

Unlike at past rallies, where Trump has openly called for violence against protesters, the candidate seems derisively amused by the event crashers.

“All right, don’t hurt him,” he says, joking how protesters should stay, enjoy themselves. “See the way I said that? I’ve learned. Don’t hurt him, please.”

“Darling,” Trump says to a woman holding a Sanders poster, “there’s no way he can win, but you keep your sign high.”

No violence erupts inside the event, but the rustle within the crowd continues throughout, punctuated here and there by the repeated chant to “build that wall” or “go back to Mexico.”

Siebenhaar calls one of the female protesters, a young Latina in a “Brasil” crop top, a “beyotch” and repeatedly tells her to “fuck off” and “go home.”

“This is our rally,” he turns to tell me after the young woman disappears into the crowd. “They should know better.”

An inside look at San Jose politics

SJPD Getting Body Cameras This Summer

MAN OF ACTION Brock Allen Turner’s dad infuriated the nation with his ugly defense letter.

Light Sentence in Stanford Rape Case Ignites Public Outrage BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH Brock Allen Turner, a 20-year-old Stanford University dropout who raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster, will spend no more than a few months in jail for the crime.

Citing the defendant’s age and lack of prior offenses, Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky said a longer sentence would have “a severe impact” on the former champion swimmer. Turner had faced up to a decade in prison after his March conviction, but the judge gave him six months. He’s expected to serve only three.

At the June 2 sentencing hearing, the victim—a 23-year-old Palo Alto woman known pseudonymously as Emily Doe—read a gut-wrenching account about the “severe impact” Turner’s assault had on her, and how his attorneys went “to any length to discredit me, invalidate me, and explain why it was OK to hurt me.”

The light sentence ignited fierce public backlash and calls to oust Persky. Civil rights activist Shaun King said the judge, the rapist and the justice system that gave Turner the benefit of the doubt “embody the worst of America.”

Outrage only intensified after a local newspaper columnist blamed the assault on a “culture of drinking,” while supporting the short jail stay over a longer term in state prison. Adding insult to injury, the defendant’s father complained that his son’s life had been ruined by “20 minutes of action,” and that he could no longer enjoy a nice steak because of his status as a registered sex offender.

District Attorney Jeff Rosen could not have disagreed more with the judge’s decision. “The punishment does not fit the crime,” he said. However, Rosen does not believe that Persky should be removed from the bench.

Over the weekend, the victim’s 7,244-word courtroom statement addressing the role of privilege in the trial and how the legal system deals with sexual assault racked up more than 5 million views on Buzzfeed.

“You don’t know me, but you’ve been inside me,” the victim’s statement begins before detailing her experience before, during and after the attack, “and that’s why we’re here today.”

Mercury News writer Scott Herhold, however, sided with the defense, arguing in a column that Turner should get off with a light sentence given his apparent remorse, the “co-conspirator” of campus drinking and his record of “real accomplishment.”

The article, which took the opposite view of the Merc’s editorial board, got destroyed on social media, where people called the author a rape apologist.

After three years of consideration, San Jose will join other big-city police departments by equipping officers with body-worn cameras this summer.

The City Council approved a fiveyear, $5 million contract with Taser International to buy 963 cameras, software and training.

The deal should help the San Jose Police Department catch up with other cities that have deployed cameras in response to growing public demand for police accountability and oversight.

“There is a nationwide movement toward the use of body worn cameras in the law enforcement industry,” police Chief Eddie Garcia wrote in a memo to the council. “Body worn cameras can enhance accountability and increase transparency between officers and the public they serve.”

The idea of using police body cameras has finally reached a near universal consensus. Law enforcement agencies support it because having a video record could protect officers from false allegations of misconduct.

The American Civil Liberties Union and other privacy-conscious civil rights groups endorse the idea because it could keep police on their best behavior and make for more accurate record keeping.

Body cameras could have been especially helpful last week, when protests outside of a Donald Trump rally turned violent (see page 8). Only four people were arrested at the time, and the department continues to ask citizens to provide digital evidence of any crimes being committed.

Surveys indicate that the vast majority (88 percent) of Americans want police to wear body cameras.

Walter Katz, San Jose’s Independent Police Auditor, tweeted his satisfaction with the decision, noting that his office “will have footage access.” He added that the move is a “big win for accountability.” —Jennifer Wadsworth

Cocktails

HE REVOLT against mass production and cheap ingredients that transformed American cuisine has now rolled through every category of liquid beverage. Coffee is sourced to a farm and roasted by an iconic, regionally branded vendor. Beer has been liberated from six-pack rings, and more restaurants each year have steel tanks and brewmasters. Bartenders open their shifts by staging botanicals and carving up citrus.

The kitchen and bar have merged as artisanal vegetables make their way into the lounge and jammy fruit preparations emerge from the burners. The centerpiece of the new cocktail culture is arguably bitters, an early 19th Century staple that has embedded itself in the digital age.

Angostura bitters, of course, never went away, and are just as essential to a Manhattan as vermouth and a

maraschino cherry. But get a bartender talking about the celery bitters he’s curating in a mason jar behind the bar, and you’ll get an earful. Once the world embraced watermelon-flavored beer, the floodgates were open, and now bitters can encompass a high-octane infusion of just about anything, except maybe transmission fluid.

Joe Cirone of Willow Glen’s Over/Under Sports Bar foraged some aromatics at his Delmont Farm and dropped them into a jar of Everclear. The colorful mixture, which appears on this issue’s cover, includes black walnut leaves, cardamom, unripe wild berry bitters and tinctures of tamarind, hops, lavender and dates. It was still too fresh to sample, so we can’t vouch for the flavor.

In a couple of weeks it will likely infuse a new cocktail.

We’ll get back to you.

THE VESPER When James Bond drinks, he goes with the Vesper martini— the namesake of this revamped Campbell spot that flipped from specializing in wine to artisanal cocktails.

But at this joint, they’ve got a nifty graph that pinpoints a drink’s level of “boldness” and “wildness.” The boldest, wildest drink they’ve got is named with fire, pear and smiley emojis followed by parentheses containing the translation: “Peat & Pear.” It contains 10-year-old scotch, Williams pear liqueur and Vecchio Amaro del Capo that’s made from 29 Calabrian roots and herbs like quinine and cola nut. 72 S First St, San Jose.

Good Karma’s Ryan Summers says Northern California beers have finally come into their own.

Better Know a Brewmaster CRAFT BEERS THAT KICK ASS IN SILICON VALLEY

A

DECADE ago in downtown San Jose, nobody gave a damn about craft beer. Watering holes offered “Heineken, Bud Light, Coors Light, PBR, Guinness” and water, says Ryan Summers, owner of Good Karma Artisan Ales & Cafe.

Things done changed.

After moving locations, revamping his menu and securing a beer and

wine license, Summers started introducing downtown San Jose to the joys of well-crafted brews.

“It was a completely different scene,” he says. “Nobody knew what the hell I was pouring. It was really challenging. But you do it sip by sip, beer by beer, slowly but surely you raise the overall palate. And the people who were ready for it were totally hooked. Good people want

By John Flynn

to get together and drink good beer and talk about it. That’s food. That’s beer. That’s wine. That’s anything.”

Summers hooked up with breweries like Fort Bragg’s North Coast, then became one of the first to pour Russian River Brewery beer, including their rare and famed Pliny the Elder IPA. And after five years, he helped grow a solid community of restaurateurs, distributors and

customers willing to spread the gospel of good beer.

“We’re scrappy. We’re hungry. And we’re young,” he says. “San Jose has always got something to prove. And we’re not trying to prove it anybody.

We’re just trying to stand on our own two feet. And it may take us a minute, but damn we’re good at it when we get going.”

It’s like what San Diego was. We’ve got traction. And the rest of the beer world is looking to us to see what’s going to come next. It’s the locals that don’t quite realize what they’re sitting on.”

Keeping track of all these brews requires near-constant diligence, especially when most tap houses completely restock what’s pouring on a weekly basis. But Summers urges potential connoisseurs to get chatty and trust whoever is filling their glass.

“Know your local bartender,” he says.

“Have a conversation. Embrace that relationship. Go in blindly like, ‘Hey man, what do you like? What are you drinking?’ My job as someone who runs a pub is to make my guests happy.

Taplands subscribes to the idea that beer drinkers can’t be monogomous.

TAPLANDS Matt Hartenstein started Santa Clara’s go-to spot for bougie wheat soda hoping to become a growler hotspot. Due to California’s stingy laws, he opted to put other topnotch local varieties alongside his homemade brews on his 24 taps.

Coming soon from his humble brewery, there’s an IPA that he describes as “deceptively dark, hoppy and bitter” and a Summertime blonde ale delicately accented with rose petals and vanilla. 1171 Homestead Rd, Santa Clara.

SPREAD This Campbell speciality shop brings together indulgent subs with high-

quality suds. A couple of their best pairings include the crisp, floral Butte Creek Organic Pilsner with the Duchess that combines oven-roasted turkey with pastrami, sharp cheddar and black garlic/chipotle aioli; and the malty Oskar Blues Dale’s Pale Ale with their Unkosher—a reuben that’s been spiced up and infused with bacon. 193 E Campbell Ave, Campbell.

These brewers offer tastings in their warehouse and taproom in San Jose. One of their rarest brews is a partnership with Santa Cruz skateboards: the Classic Dot Blonde Ale.

The easydrinking brew comes in a stylishly customized can that pairs nicely with sand and waves. 2099 S 10th St, San Jose.

Taking inspiration from the area, the beer is named for the New Almaden Mercury Mines, established in 1847 and one of the most profitable quicksilver mines in North America—producing 46 million pounds of the liquid metal from 1850 to 1875. 101 E Alma Ave, San Jose.

Wine W

INE HAS NEVER been more so accessible. Vintners now market themselves with bolder, quirkier labels while purveyors opt to serve them in more casual settings—namely, the wine bar. The South Bay’s proximity to Napa, Santa Cruz and Santa Clara Valley appellations has fueled a rise in the number of local wine bars, which often pair their selections with delectable small plates of charcuterie and artisan cheeses.

From the eight-label selection with sliders-and-fries fare at The Living Room in Redwood City to the vast showcase of local vintners at Rootstock in Los Gatos, here’s a guide to some great wine bars in Silicon Valley.

Kwench is the place to go to in Campbell for great service and delicious, fresh juice. Store owner Reena Williams was inspired to open Kwench by her father, who was terminally ill with cancer. Her goal was to bring her own spin to the juicing community by providing natural juice that doesn’t come from a bottle. Kwench’s most popular item is the Cloud 9—a mixture of vegetables and fruits, including berries and oranges, which give the drink a fresh, sweet taste. 428 E Campbell Ave, Campbell.

Bowl of Heaven is truly as its name says. This place has a variety of juices, smoothies and acai bowls to choose from. Although it is mostly known for the amazing bowls, especially the “sea sider,” the juices aren’t far behind. They range from the “Green Glory,” a simple green concoction that helps with your daily vegetable servings, to the beet-rich “Heart Beet,” which is purported to do wonders for the ticker. 1040 Grant Rd #300, Mountain View.

NEKTER JUICE BAR The Nekter Juice Bar has been around since 2010 and makes it

extra easy to live a healthy lifestyle in Sunnyvale. It is a pressed juicery that specializes in juices, smoothies, acai bowls and even bottled pressed drinks for those in a hurry. One favorite is the ‘Toxin Flush’ juice, which contains parsley, spinach, apple, lemon and ginger.

This small shop was founded by Montserrat Ayala, who immigrated from Mexico in 2010. It offers a natural juice bar, as well as sandwiches and granola cups—all with eco-friendly cups and utensils.

Social Policy joins the new school coffee revolution.

Cool Brews

S

tarbucks launched a worldwide coffee culture revolution when the Seattlebased company figured out how to efficiently scale the experience of Italian and French coffee houses— bringing blended and flavored java concoctions to the masses.

However, Starbucks and other massive coffee chains have become victims of their own success. The educated coffee consumer now wants more than on-demand espresso, steamed milk and hazelnut syrup.

Today, the discerning coffee drinker demands responsibly sourced, fair trade beans—shade-grown, wet-processed Central American light roasts, or naturally processed, dark-roasted Sumatran varieties.

Fortunately, for these customers, there are coffee shops like Bellano.

Opened in 2008, the locally owned

chain now has four locations: the flagship Santa Clara location; B2 at San Pedro Square Market; the new Bellano Willow Glen and now Social Policy, or So/Po, which opened just a few months ago on Paseo de San Antonio in downtown San Jose.

Veronica Ruckman, co-owner of Bellano and So/Po, says she and her baristas pay attention to all the basics, like responsible sourcing and small-batch roasting. But that’s not all. Bellano employees measure everything meticulously, from the weight of their ground bean scoops to the temperature of the water. At B2, Ruckman notes, they recently installed a reverse-osmosis machine, which is used to pull undesirable minerals out of San Jose’s notoriously hard water.

And then there’s the cold brew.

Easily one of the fastest-growing trends in coffee making today, the

BAREFOOT COFFEE True to its name, Barefoot Coffee prides itself on its direct trade sourcing and sustainable coffees.

Their tasty beans have prompted Metro readers to vote them “Best Coffee Roaster” seven years in a row.

A while back, they had the brilliant idea to take their delicious coffee on the go and so, Barefoot Mobile Cart was born. Try any of their legacy specialty drinks or hand-crafted pour-overs for something special.

1819 S Bascom Ave, Campbell.

BIG E CAFE For something truly out of the ordinary try the delicious drinks and empanadas at Big E. The place has been family owned since 2005 so everything is authentic and always the highestquality. They offer breakfast, lunch and dessert empanadas alongside handcrafted espressos. Although all their breakfast options are delicious try the bacon empanada with bacon, eggs and cheddar cheese with a cappuccino. 1683 Branham Ln, San Jose.

BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE

JUNE 8-14, 2016 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

baristas at Bellano and So/Po have their cold brew game on lock.

During the cold brewing process, coffee grounds are allowed to steep in room temperature water overnight before being filtered in the morning. The result is a smoother, sweeter, creamier and far less bitter product than coffee brewed with hot water and then cooled down—a process Ruckman says “shocks the coffee and leads to harsher flavors.”

As a bonus to caffeine fiends, cold brew is much more concentrated.

“With the long extraction time, it has more exposure time to the coffee itself,” Ruckman explains—so much so, that even after it is brewed and appropriately diluted with fresh water, it still packs a heavier punch than hot brewed coffee.

Also, while the process of making the cold brew is time intensive, the process of ordering a cup is a breeze—especially at B2, where they have their cold brew on a nitro powered tap. It’s as easy as pay, pull and go. Viva la revolución.

—Nick Veronin

The coffee shop phenomenon that is Blue Bottle is sweeping across the Bay Area. For many, the newly iconic brand is nothing short of the most authentic coffee in the region. With a promise to serve only responsibly sourced beans roasted within the last 48 hours, it’s little wonder their brew is so choice. If you’re craving Blue Bottle on the go, the company offers a service that can have coffee delivered straight to your house. They ship within 48 hours of roasting, so the coffee is still at its peak flavor. 456 University Ave, Palo Alto.

B2 Just as Athena sprung from the head of Zeus, B2 was birthed from the first Bellano cafe in Santa Clara. Offering delicious, creamy cold brew on a nitro tap and fantastic artisan pastries, B2 is the place to go for a caffeine fix when at San Pedro Square Market. Enjoy a morning jolt or afternoon pick-me-up inside the Market’s sprawling garage space or out on the adjacent patio. 87 N. San Pedro St, San Jose

CAFFE FRASCATI Caffe Frascati brings real Italian flavors to downtown San Jose, with their cappuccinos, paninis, quiche and, of course, cannolis. The shop also plays host to an assortment of karaoke, opera and comedy acts weekly. Those interested in the best cappuccino on three wheels, should check out the piaggio ape, which is available for rent for special occasions. 315 S First Street, San Jose.

They also serve specialty teas and have outdoor seating that is great for study groups.

118 Paseo de San Antonio Walk, San Jose.

RED ROCK COFFEE The folks over at Red Rock pour their coffee according to the three C’s. Caffeine, culture and, perhaps the most important, community.

They function as a not-for-profit business, meaning that any expenses not used to keep the business going, are returned right back to the community to be used by non-profit and charity groups. Music, spoken word, visual art, photography, poetry, writers, dancers, thinkers, servants and comedians from all over are welcome to showcase their talents. 201 Castro St, Mountain View.

SO/PO On the bustling Paseo de San Antonio pedestrian walk, which connects San Jose State to Plaza de Cesar Chavez, this hip java joint, gallery and performance space does only a few things—but it does them well. Caffeine fiends should be sure to try their cold brew, the only iced coffee option they have. It’s sure to get anyone’s motor running. 200 S. First Street, San Jose.

IVE MUSIC in the South Bay hasn’t been this good since before the first dot-com crash. For a while—after the end of The Edge, the closure of The Cactus Club and the evaporation of Voodoo Lounge—Silicon Valley was wasteland of the same old DJs, spinning the same old tunes.

Not anymore.

Whether the night calls for turning up, chilling out or getting down, there’s a bar, club or venue for every mood and personal musical preference. From rock & roll to EDM, hip-hop to jazz, country to cumbia: it’s all just a short drive—or Lyft, or Uber, or taxi—away.

Café Stritch in San Jose keep their calendar’s full of great jazz performers. Metalheads and punk rockers, be advised: there’s always a cold Miller High Life resting on top of a hot, loud tube amp at The Caravan.

Hip-hop heads can count on brainy emcees coming through BackBar SoFa, while fans of the Bay Area-bred hyphy movement should keep an eye on The Agenda Lounge’s calendar.

A Deep Dive on Dives

By Tomek Mackowiak

D

ive bars have no windows, and if they do, they’re tinted or shuttered.

Just like the English pub or public house, the dive is a gathering place, but unlike its English cousin, the American dive is not an extension of society—it is a respite from it. It’s a place to return to yourself without distraction, meet old friends, make new ones and indulge in a private moment as a group. A good dive will never betray the true hour of the day. An excellent dive will make you lose track of time. Here are a few choice locations.

CARAVAN Legend has it that once upon a time all Greyhound stations had a built-in bar named The Caravan.

But at some point, attitudes toward bus travel and mid-day cocktail hour changed, and the Caravans around the country were removed.

Luckily, this particular installation is located in a building down the block from the station, where it still operates today. Over the decades, our Caravan has blossomed into a lively

gathering place. It hosts live music at night, cheap drinks always, and still showcases most of the original decor.

The bar staff are friendly, but the bathrooms can be a bit mean. 98 S

- BARSOCLUBS Lounge on the right. It is situated in a quiet neighborhood on the outskirts of Japantown. Bigger than most dives around, Hyde Park Lounge has all the things that make a dive great: cheap drinks, no natural light, friendly bartenders, and a collection of distractions ranging from billiards to random wall hangings. 1070 N 4th St, San Jose.

KEVIN’S PLACE Probably unbeknownst to the owners, this dive, formerly known as The Place, was immortalized in skateboard culture by long-gone Sonic Skateboards. Sonic used the dive’s signage art as one of their brand incarnations. Anyone over 30 who used to get around on four polyurethane wheels will recognize the sign and stop in. 1058 S 1st St,

San Jose.

BLINKEY’S CAN’T SAY

GOLD AWARD

Located in an often forgotten stip mall in Santa Clara—as most good dives should be. Strip malls were a dive bar haven in the days of yore, but alas, most have been replaced by franchise operations serving up cheap eats or even cheaper haircuts.

The only things Blinkey’s delivers are drinks, distractions and good times. Friendly bartenders make this a near perfect dive, if it weren’t for the street-facing windows. Although tinted, Blinkey’s allows a bit too much California sunshine. As they say, it’s good enough for government work. 1031 Monroe St, Santa Clara.

PATTY’S INN Arguably the oldest bar in town, Patty’s Inn has benefited mightily from the hockey fish that play a few blocks down. Although also windowclad, this dive gets a pass by virtue of its age. There’s a trunk above the door that, legend has it, is a sarcophagus.

The outdoor patio, pool table, 19thcentury construction and inexpensive libations all make it a great dive. If you

don’t like it, go across the street and catch a train. 102 S Montgomery St.

JOHNNY V’S This thriving dive is named after creator Johnny Van Wyk. If you’re old enough to be reading this in print, and were around in the early 2000s, you probably remember Kleidon’s. Johnny took a ramshackle corner dive and turned it into a proper watering hole while hosting massive dance/music events. Many of today’s children owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Van Wyk’s ability to gather their parents and show them a good time. Johnny V’s still supplies the most exciting stretch of Santa Clara Street in San Jose. 31 E

Santa Clara St, San Jose.

CINEBAR Most locals mistake this dive’s name for referencing the rich cinnabar ore deposits that made the area famous during the Gold Rush. The truth is downtown San Jose was full of cinemas during the golden age of film. The Cinebar catered to moviegoers. Today the place serves the type of people you wouldn’t want mowing your lawn. Coupled with the unsavory staff, expensive drinks and bare walls, Cinebar is the only dive on this list to avoid at all costs. The place is always empty for a reason. If you’ve ever been there, you understand. 69

E San Fernando St, San Jose.

THE BEARS If you and your Boo Boo need to relax a bit after antiquing around San Carlos Street, dip into The Bears.

Actually, go to The Bears regardless.

Located on one of the most undisturbed stretches of mid-century San Jose, it’s a great dive. Billiards, drink specials, an open floor plan and a view of what was one of the hottest strips in the area—about 40 years ago. If you’re as smart as Yogi, bring your Boo Boo to The Bears.

NCE A SECRET retreat for men looking to get a quick fantasy fix, gentlemen’s clubs have become a new normal in a culture saturated with sexuality. Whether it’s curiosity, peer pressure, loneliness or sheer lust, nearly everyone has been to one at some point in their adult life. But not everyone knows how to to act.

BECOMING ONE In Agostino Arrivabene’s painting, ‘Il sogno di Asclepio,’ the mythological figure Asclepio, a son of Apollo, merges with the Earth while dreaming.

Pondering paradise: NUMU’s latest group show, ‘Et in Arcadia Ego’

BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

U

NDERNEATH A BLUE sky, three shepherds and a shepherdess gambol across the countryside. They sport richly hued Grecian robes of scarlet, ocean and sunflower. En route to nowhere in particular, they encounter a sarcophagus with an inscription carved into its stone edifice: Et in Arcadia Ego.

They look to each other to puzzle through its meaning, “Even in Arcadia, there am I.”

Arcadia, an idyllic place, formed in the imagination, is never real or reachable, except in art. The phrase gives voice to the dead, reminding these carefree souls that even in their particular eden, death is inescapable.

But it’s also a message from the painter himself, Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665): “Even in this painting, here am I, my brushwork, my palette, my vision, alive on the canvas 351 years after my death.”

The regenerative power of his painting derives in part from its depiction of the pastoral, but additionally from the visible tension of the living in the presence of the dead. Many artists before and after Poussin have met these ideas squarely, with their paintbrushes in hand.

Now, as guest curator, the painter David Molesky has carefully gathered a group of artists—many of them local—conversant with the exhibit title and theme: Et in Arcadia Ego. Apart from the obvious inspiration from Poussin, there’s a self-portrait, In Arcadia, by the Norwegian painter Odd Nerdrum. He is a spectral figure, a somnambulist, with black pockets of mournful eyes. The painter wanders through a forest glade of lavenders and the deepest of greens. The perspective hovers off-kilter: Nerdrum’s feet may not be touching the ground. The trunk or branch of a tree stretches past his right shoulder out into the air. Either he’s in limbo, the space between the living and the dead, or this is what Scandinavia is like in the twilight hours.

Molesky had access to the painting because he’s a former disciple of Nerdrum’s. For over two years, he painted on his farms in Norway and Iceland. Molesky described Nerdrum

Shangri Los Gatos

as “a figure … like that Balzac statue

by Rodin. Odd's a very imposing figure with a big, square head and his dress smock and a booming voice.”

Molesky also describes him as a “grandfather figure who explains his ideas about philosophy and politics in a way that's completely not didactic.”

Part of that philosophy appears to be the ability of an artist to not only create, but also to tap into a mythology of the self. “You need to go into a dark cave and look for a small dark flame,” Nerdrum told Molesky. “I knew that was my assignment,” Molesky said. In choosing the exhibit’s other works, he’s assembled a gallery full of kindred spirits.

In Agostino Arrivabene’s Il sogno di Asclepio, man and the surrounding landscape are one. Asclepio, a son of Apollo, is dreaming by the shoreline of a lake ringed by mountains.

Open-mouthed in mid-snore, he lies naked on his back. With each intake of breath, his body slowly metamorphoses into tendrils, vines and sepals. The dreaming mind of this Salvador Dalí-like figure is the next evolutionary step in the fight against climate change: to harm the natural world is equivalent to causing harm to the self.

Et in Arcadia Ego is an exhibit meant for deliberate contemplation.

In fact, there’s a small sign near Preston’s painting that explicates the meaning of the (perhaps selfevident) term “Slow Looking.” As urban development continues to expand its heavy footprint, some of these bucolic scenes simply and beautifully capture a lost era. One long look at Theodore Wores’ Rinconada Hills, Los Gatos from 1922 presents a two-lane horse and buggy path under flowering cherry trees.

Are those same hills still abundant with green? An afternoon inside at NUMU may offer summery inspiration to explore the untouched hills that remain, even if it’s unlikely that you’ll stumble upon a sudden, stray sarcophagus etched with Latinate riddles.

The ideas contained within the world’s greatest literary works are not the only reason books are beautiful. Fonts, the feel and smell of quality paper and even the sense of zen that a well-stocked bookshelf imparts upon a room all contribute to the magic of bound volumes.

Following the theme of ordinary objects transformed into art, “This is Not a Book” brings together 25 artists to explore the properties of books, bindings and the pages in between. While technically a sculpture show, this exhibition goes a step beyond in terms of composition and creativity. The exhibit runs through Sep. 11. (TM)

An octogenarian artist barricades herself in her Brooklyn brownstone, boobytrapping the place with improvised explosive devices in an effort to keep her adult children from shipping her off to the old folks home.

In between assembling Molotov cocktails, the play’s protagonist, Alexandria, must negotiate her uncertain future with her longestranged son, who struggles with his own demons. The dramady, penned by Eric Coble, drew mixed reviews from critics when it premiered on Broadway back in 2014. Though it closed after only a brief run, actress Estelle Parsons was nominated for a Tony Award for her portrayal of the play’s protagonist.

DMX, ruled hip-hop radio and MTV in the late ’90s and early aughts with his menacing, signature bark and gravely flow. In 1998 he starred alongside Nas and Method Man in the darkly psychedelic Hype Williams-directed gangster flick, Belly. Then he fell off. For many years, the New York emcee only seemed to make headlines when he landed on the wrong side of the law. Word on the street is that DMX is attempting to make a comeback—for real this time. Drake’s chart-topping album Views features a DMX vocal sample and multiple sources report that X’s forthcoming, Swizz Beatz-produced album will feature Kanye West and Dr. Dre. (NV)

Before it was the Meryl Streepstarring film, Mamma Mia was a smash Broadway hit.

With the help of songs like “Dancing Queen,” “S.O.S.,” “Super Trouper” and “The Winner Takes All,” Catherine Johnson’s script transports the audience to an idyllic Grecian isle, where Donna is working overtime to ensure her daughter, Sophie’s, wedding goes off without a hitch.

Things are going just fine until Sophie’s long-estranged biological father returns. Mamma Mia! runs through Jun. 3. (DM)

For legal reasons, Mike Odd insists that he never uses “the M-word.”

That word would be “McDonalds.”

It’s easy to understand why. The multi-national fast food chain is clearly the satirical target of the band Odd manages: Mac Sabbath.

The quartet—composed of frontman Ronald Osborne, guitarist Slayer McCheese, bassist Grimalice and The Slamburglar on drums— performs faithful Black Sabbath musical covers with fast foodoriented lyrics (think “Frying Pan” instead of “Iron Man”). According to Odd, the band is pioneering an entirely new genre called “drive-thru metal. Judging by Mac Sabbath’s direct support this weekend—a band called Dr. Taco—they may be on to something. (NV)

OVER THE LAST eight years, Jennifer Ahn and Juan Carlos Araujo have witnessed the full spectrum of the art world’s absurdity. The co-founders of Empire Seven Studios have accomplished a great deal—and overcome some trying obstacles—since first opening their gallery near the corner of Empire and N. 7th streets in the Japantown neighborhood of San Jose.

In remembrance of this near-decade-long adventure in the art world, from humble beginnings to hosting high-profile, touring exhibitions—and even a near-catastrophic fire—Empire Seven’s new show, Shokunin: Celebrating 8 Years in Japantown will be a retrospective group show.

The title is a nod to the Japanese idea of a shokunin: the Shokunin: Celebrating humble, dedicated, undeviating artisan. It also reflects 8 Years in Japantown the subtle but consistent Japanese influence on the gallery. “I wanted to really do something that celebrates Jun 10, 7-10pm, Free our history in Japantown,” Araujo says, before giving his Empire Seven own, personal definition of a shokunin: “It breaks down Studios, San Jose to someone who is in love and passionate about what they do so much that it doesn't matter if they make money.”

Shokunin will be both a new exhibition and a visual history of the gallery. The majority of the art on display will be pieces previously shown at Empire, but some of the newer work will focus on Japantown. “I want to highlight the fact that we are in Japantown with those unique elements and energy,” Araujo says.

Even as ES7 continues to expand its artistic and curative scope, the anniversary show will also be a reflection of the community that incubated it. “We went along the whole list of exhibits we’ve done, solo shows, group shows and we’re trying to bring as many as people as we can,” says Araujo. This includes the first artist Empire ever exhibited, Ben Alexy, as well as more than 80 others who have participated in various ES7 exhibits, and mural projects—including Girafa, Mitsy Avila Ovalles and Sean Boyles, to name just a few.

Shokunin: Celebrating 8 Years in Japantown is an exploration and affirmation of creative principles and the consistency and diligence required to live a creative life. This ethos struck a special chord with the gallery from the start, and has given momentum to their last eight years.

“We are in this for the long run,” Araujo says. “We love what we do. No matter how hard the battle might be . . . no sweat, you know?”—Tad Malone

Abracadabra CARD SHARKS Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco are just two of the ‘Four Horsemen’—a team of magicians who use their skills to pull major heists in ‘Now You See Me 2.’

Silicon Valley director helms ‘Now You See Me 2’

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

J

ON M. CHU, the son of the restaurateur who runs Chef Chu’s in Los Altos, sped to the top of his profession as a director.

Following the auditoriumfilling Step Up series and a Justin Bieber concert movie, Chu’s new film Now You See Me 2 has the moviemaker in cahoots with a couple of other Valley-bred talents.

The film’s scriptwriter is Saratoga’s

own Ed Solomon (Levity, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure); and Now You See Me 2’s co-star is Palo Alto’s Dave Franco. “I didn’t know him back then, but I had mutual friends with his brother,” Chu says from Los Angeles by phone.

Magic on film may seem a weird sell in an age when you can vanish anything with digital technology; it’s as bemusing as the days when a ventriloquist named Edgar Bergen was a national radio star. This spirited, if hurried, caper reunites the Avengers of magic—The Four Horseman—in a globetrotting adventure. Co-stars Franco, Woody Harrelson (in a dual role as good

and evil twins), Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Eisenberg deploy weaponized illusions in New York, Macau and London. On their trail is Mark Ruffalo, as the FBI agent who may have sympathies with these gentleman criminals, and previouslyburned Horseman associates Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman.

The film’s credit sequence is overflowing with magic consultants, including David Copperfield as executive producer. “We had the mentalist, Keith Barry, and experts on sleight of hand and cardistry,” Chu says. “We always had a magician on set, it was like a 9-year-old’s birthday party. Dave Franco’s character, Jack—who did the human three-card monte trick at Greenwich Market in London—had to learn the entire act, so we could do it live with the audience and stay on the shot without cutting away.”

He also faced the challenge of conjuring magical performances from his heavyweight actors. It couldn’t have been easy for a Chu—a director not yet known for drama—to intervene between Ruffalo and Freedman.

“There’s a lot of stuff going on with a huge cast—that’s why I have wrinkles in the film so they can all get a moment,” Chu explains.

“We had some discussions, when Mark and Morgan had their scenes.

As short amount of time we had, though, eventually, you turn on the camera and try to keep up.”

As a boy, Chu frequently visited the Civic Light Opera in San Jose. He was a devoted fan of musicals, having studied violin and saxophone, and taken tap dancing lessons for 12 years. His aspirations were aided by the engineers who ate at his father’s restaurant.

“People came from Adobe, Sun and Apple,” Chu says. “When they found out that Chef Chu’s son was interested in digital film, I pretty much had a new computer every two months. It was as if I were raised to become a filmmaker by the Silicon Valley.”

Chu’s most-watched film may be the playful, pre-flight safety video, which he produced for Virgin Airlines in collaboration with choreographer Todrick Hall. “I had just seen an inflight video that very day, and I thought, ‘I have to do this, this is destiny.’ Virgin let me do what I want, telling me, ‘We just have to OK this with the FAA.’ I get an email every other day from a passenger, either annoyed with it or appreciating it.”

Was it possible that the experience of working with dancers helped him as a director, since one aspect of directing is studying the way the actors move?

“I’m not a choreographer, though I work with a lot of them,” he says. “I feel I can add to the storytelling and movement with it. But I always saw myself as more of a storyteller, who could meld into different worlds, using the language of dance and action. It’s almost like what happens in a musical—the magic happens when words aren’t enough.”

metroactive FILM ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

Kids who somehow have a good time at this soulless film are never going to get the same pleasure out of the Lewis Carroll original, expecting it to have the same relentlessness, bad-televisionChristmas-special plotting, and Transformers-like robots. If the digital color is more bright and modulated than it was five years ago in 3D, so much of what’s done here is something used before: from the backdrops of waterfalls and pink Maxfield Parrish clouds, to the meshing and turning of mammoth gears in Time’s fortress. It’s all as flat as the repeating backgrounds from a Hanna Barbera cartoon. In the wrong hands, prequels strip all the fascination out of all tales of enchantment. They explain everything you wanted to suppose about. Every character here is diagnosed and instructed in good behavior. This movie takes the curiosities of Wonderland and turns them into a plasticized theme park. (Valleywide.) (RvB)

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

Playing the noblest American of them all, Chris Evans is easy to underrate.

As in previous installments, Captain America: Civil War shows the World War II hero, frozen and revived for our complex times, as a touching and skeptical immortal. Our Captain could also be seen as a symbol of the U.S. government's unilateral actions in foreign affairs. It's the most expensive, entertaining movie anyone’s made about blowback.

The question of what to do with “unlimited power and no supervision” isn’t just The Avengers’ problem, it's America’s. (Valleywide.) (RvB)

THE LOBSTER

An Ionesco-like absurdist parable.

Some smooth yet totalitarian government of a near-future insists on coupling up its citizens. The sad-sack David (Colin Farrell) walls up at a rainy, clinical hotel where the residents get only a short time to find a mate for life. If they don’t, they endure some sort of mysterious reverse Dr. Moreau surgery that will turn them into an animal of their pick.

(David chooses a lobster.) Greece’s Yorgos (Dogtooth) Lanthimos assembled an impressive cast for this speculative fiction tale, with Rachel Weisz as the love object David meets too late, and John C. Reilly (with an Elmer Fudd accent) as another forlorn intern. It’ll be loved and hated, sometimes by the same people. But it’s distinctive. There hasn’t ever been such a sharp film about the endless

pressure on singletons to hook up.

THE NICE GUYS

Los Angeles most foul, in that city’s most woebegone and smoggy era, 1977.

A pair of searchers team up: a morose, portly professional arm-breaker named Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) and a snazzy, half-drunk private eye named Holland March (Ryan Gosling, sending up his too-cool-for-the-world persona in Drive). The two investigate a chain of deaths linked by a vanished girl with ties to the porn racket. Much of the film’s heart is provided by Angourie Rice, who plays March’s sassy but sweet 13-year-old daughter, Holly. She’s more or less the girl in the picture, since other female characters just drop by.

Rice is genuinely lovable, but director and co-writer Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3) works her effectiveness hard: she teeters on the verge of precociousness. The rest of the cast displays believable attitudes of breeziness and aggressiveness, from a glacial Kim Bassinger, to some giggling psycho villainy by Beau Knapp. Black’s joke shop approach to the detective movie—with verbal squirt-flowers and exploding cigar retorts—works on its slick level, as Deadpool did. The limitation of Black, is his disinterest in deep stuff; when you start to hunger for something crunchy, he offers you a novelty peanut brittle can with the spring-snake in it. Sour, yet bracing, The Nice Guys doesn’t add up to anything beyond its satire of the post-Nixon, paranoid detective stories—it’s like a bright high school kid’s satire of Cutter’s Way. (Valleywide.)

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE

It’s an alternate version of 1983.

From an ancient pyramid a god-like destructive force arises—a blueskinned deity (Oscar Issacs) who requires his own host of four demons.

The angry god augments the powers of a quartet of mutants, including Magneto (Michael Fassbender) who had tried to make a new life for himself as a steelworker in Communist Poland. Meanwhile Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) and the Xavier school try to figure out a strategy to stop the apparently unstoppable. Favorite mutants come and go, including Wolverine, at this point still known as Weapon X (Hugh Jackman), Psylocke (Olivia Munn), the worm-like Caliban (Tomas Lemarquis) who refers to himself in the third person, the pious Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee) and the speedster Quicksilver (Evan Peters, the loosest and least mannered of the actors here) upstaging the mosh pit as he did in this film’s predecessor.

GRIM REAPER Peter Mullan is excellent and dour in ‘Sunset Song,’ an adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s novel.

Scottish Tragedy TERENCE DAVIES is a clear-eyed nostalgia artist specializing in the retrieval of the mood and the color of the past.

Sunset Song, an adaptation of the Lewis Grassic Gibbon novel set a century ago in Scotland’s Kincardineshire, seems like the culmination of his work. It functions both as a dreamy eclogue about farm living and as a war memorial.

The lean, tall Agyness Deyn stars as Chris, the daughter of a viciously dour father (Peter Mullan, excellent). Though the ardors of childbearing send Chris’s mother to her grave at an early age, the place is a kind of paradise. There is dialogue about the struggle with the soil, but the soil doesn’t look like it’s putting up much of a fight. It’s almost always golden harvest time, and the weather cooperates surprisingly for Scotland. There is hard work in this movie, but little in the way of squalor; the evil side of farm life is due to the father’s iron will to domination. Later, Chris eventually enters into a romance of absolute picture-book bliss with a husband Ewan (Kevin Guthrie) who comes back soured and violent from the trenches.

Davies favors a theatrical approach

that goes along with the stateliness of his composition: characters enter, stand, and state their business as they would in a play.

And the singing of a chorus walking their way to church is too beautiful to believe… though Davies, as in his masterpiece Distant Voices, Still Lives, with its sparing and canny use of music, uses the Sunset Song hymn-singing to contrast with what follows when R; 135 Mins. the congregation gets to Camera 12 church. There, they hear a saber-rattling war sermon by the preacher about how the nation deserves a “chastisement of blood and fire” for its sins.

Davies is sharp with dualities—the difference between the world of women and men, favoring the former over patriarchal tyranny and the military; the contrast of a paradise of the open air and land with the hell of war. Trusting our abilities to understand, Davies suffuses his film with compassion toward all. There’s a great deal of feeling behind a toast to life: “Sing it. Cherish it. ‘Twill never come again.”

Classical Rap HAMILTONIAN The music of San Francisco-based Ensemble Mik Nawooj recalls the Broadway smash hit ‘Hamilton’ with its merger of classical and hip-hop sounds.

Ensemble Mik Nawooj deftly merges classical, rap sounds

BY JOHN FLYNN

F

IRST OF ALL, there's no such fucking thing as high art anymore,” says Joowan Kim, leader of the Ensemble Mik Nawooj—a group that melds hip-hop and classical music to create singular and postmodern songs.

Kim, who began pioneering this hybrid sound in his final years at the Berklee School of Music, says he wanted to exit the “crazy fucking cult” of entitled Eurocentricity in the classical, “art music” scene. And he found a way out after examining the work of pioneering hip-hop producer, J-Dilla.

“J-Dilla is on the same level as Thelonious Monk and probably Mozart,” Kim says of the late Detroit beatmaker, known for his meticulous sampling and repurposing of recorded jazz and soul music.

In the same way that Dilla meticulously combed through crates of old records—extracting riffs and rhythms, and using the disparate sonic scraps to build beats—Kim is using his classical training and an ensemble of chamber musicians and two emcees, to construct fully fledged hip-hop tracks.

An immigrant from South Korea, Kim doesn’t fit the typical hip-hop mold and readily admits he isn’t an authority on “the culture.” But his use of sampling fits squarely in the genre and the American melting-pot style of creation.

“What I'm sampling is the

methodology of classical music,” he says. “The essence of hip-hop is disruption. And the quintessential element that makes hip-hop unique is you can take something that exists already, take it apart and put it together in your own way—creating your own thing. It's accessible and rigorous at the same time. And it's definitely not classical.”

Kim forsakes typical hip-hop arrangements for whatever pace tickles his fancy and fits his artistic vision.

His tracks substitute the electroenhancement of modern beats for the roundness of the 10-piece Mik Nawooj Ensemble, which includes a cellist, a flautist, a clarinetist and an opera-trained soprano. For the last Super Bowl, held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Mik Nawooj were commissioned to reimagine the Marlena Shaw classic, “California Soul.”

Contrasting with the caramelsmoothness of the original, Kim’s version is set to a relentless, headbanging beat—broken up by haunting

string interludes and laced with ghostly wails. The group’s two MCs, Do D.A.T. and Sandman, fill the track with a meticulous description of California’s history: namechecking everything from the state’s many indigenous tribes to its better known professional sports franchises and natural landmarks.

The group’s most powerful song comes in a the form of a reimagining of the Wu-Tang Clan’s “C.R.E.A.M.” While the original Wu track serves as a gritty examination of the danger and glamour of street life, Mik Nawooj transforms the track into a melancholy lament of modern greed.

In the accompanying gray-scale music video, diverse and dejected Americans break the fourth wall, rapping along with the chorus: “Cash rules everything around me.” The familiar lyrics, along with the additional words provided by Do D.A.T. and Sandman highlight the callousness of the American financial system.

“You can't top the classic,” Kim says. “So I took musical elements that I found to be essential and then I started tweaking it slowly. By the end, you can't even recognize it, but it's a logical progression. We don't call it a cover, we call it deconstruction.”

Ultimately, the marriage of these two genres shouldn’t shock that much.

Lin Manuel-Miranda’s hip-hop musical Hamilton shattered barometers of Broadway success. Nas, Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar have all done concerts accompanied by symphonies.

And like those artists, Mik Nawooj aren’t a tongue-in-cheek experiment.

Rather, they make a bold statement about rap’s place within our culture.

Kim considers himself “a serious composer” who crafts the next wave of “indigenous American art music” by elevating hip-hop to its rightful place.

“Classical training made me think a certain way,” he says. “It's a very logical way. It's a beautiful system that I can rely on to make it cohere.

And hip-hop is very much about expression. It's a lot like jazz. There's an exciting creativity. I learned to be rigorous from classical music. Hiphop made me free.”

The song opens on a stompy, minor-key verse, and in just over 30 seconds bursts into its sunny, horn drenched chorus, like a flower blossoming in time lapse. It’s a cool move, which recalls The Turtles’ classic “Happy Together.”

David Brookings Jun 10, 9pm, Free Willow Den, San Jose

The singer-songwriter’s seventh album, David Brookings & the Average Lookings is definitely an optimisticsounding record. This 11-song set is packed with gleeful melodies, playful lyrics and some quite nimble chord changes—the riff in “The Basement Room” is a certified ripper—and Brookings proves himself a strong, confident songwriter and sculptor of melody.

There are times when it feels as if he is afraid to get his hands dirty, though this is likely by design. Over the course of the album, Brookings and his new backing band demonstrate a deep love for what might be most accurately described as “classic pop.”

“I think a lot of people love classic rock,” Brookings says, “but I go almost a little earlier than most people. You don’t hear anybody these days talking about Buddy Holly or the Everly Brothers.”

With only a few songs on the album stretching beyond the four-minute mark, Brookings demonstrates an intuitive understanding of the pop rock songwriting of yore—replete with guitar solos, playful shouts and a Derek & the Dominos namedrop.

“The old stuff is better,” the singer says. If you do agree with Brookings, then his latest effort may be exactly what you’ve been looking for: classic pop songwriting, fun melodies and a band that sounds as tight as an English Mod suit.

Brookings will be celebrating the completion of his new album with a record release party at Willow Den, on June 10.

By AMY ALKON

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

My girlfriend sleeps with her two medium-sized dogs. They are, to quote her, her “babies.” I see them more as her bodyguards. We don’t live together, but even when I sleep over, which is a few times a week, she refuses to kick them out of the bed. She has a nice bed they could sleep on downstairs in a spare room, but she says she doesn’t trust them down there.—Second Fiddle She doesn't trust them down there in the spare room? What will they do, get on the landline and make prank calls to Taiwan?

The truth is, a dog (or dogs) left alone in a room may, in short order, chew a $900 leather chair into a $900 pile of stuffing. People tend to see this as the dog’s scheming attempt to show its owner who’s boss. However, anthrozoologist and doggy behavior researcher John W.S. Bradshaw says the notion that dogs are engaged in this fight for dominance with humans just isn’t supported by modern science. Unfortunately, widespread belief in this myth has led many to see (highly effective) reward-based dog training as coddling and instead opt for Stalinistic confrontation- and punishment-based training, which Bradshaw writes “may initially suppress (some unwanted) behavior but can then cause the dog to become depressed and withdrawn.”

Chewing, Bradshaw explains, is actually a form of tension relief for a dog. Tension? Because the dog has a big project due at the office? Well, actually, we bred dogs to bond with us, so they evolved to find human contact very And according PUBrewarding.

DATE: 00/00/15 to Bradshaw’s research, many dogs experience serious “separation distress”

when isolated from their owner— which they often express in all sorts of decor-destroying ways.

Now, maybe you’re thinking, “The girlfriend’s two dogs have each other!”

If only that counted in dog terms.

Bradshaw references a study in which mutts in a kennel, separated from their usual canine kennel mates, didn’t act out; however, those separated from their usual human caretakers freaked. As Bradshaw puts it, for a dog, the key pack member is “almost always a human.”

As for the human conflict here, relationships researcher John Gottman explains that the answer to gridlock on an issue isn’t solving the problem (which may be impossible) but being able to talk about it with humor, empathy, and affection.

What’s essential is that your feelings seem to be important to your girlfriend and that she at least considers possible compromises, like having the doggies in her bedroom but on beds on the floor. (It may take some training to get a bed dog to be a floor dog.)

Ultimately, in the bedroom, the Reign of Terrier may not end, but on the upside, paw print place mats have yet to appear on the dining table, and your customary glass of merlot isn’t being set next to a bowl of pasta primavera on the floor.

I’m a guyISSUE in my late 30s. I don’t fear commitment; I fear surprise—the NUMBER: Metro Silicon Valley surprise I15XX get when I find I’m with yet another crazy woman. My previous 380 South First St. San Jose, CA 95113 | 408.298.8000

two girlfriends eventually turned out to be total psychos—mean, controlling, and paranoid that I was cheating (which I’ve NEVER done). I’m beginning to think love is a ruse, with women pretending to be cool and balanced until their true crazy colors come out.—Weary There are events in life that are totally unexpected, like getting sucked up by a big vacuum hose into a passing alien spaceship. If you’re the one who ends up under the probe, we don’t get to go all accusey on you, like, “You went out to the mailbox on a Saturday afternoon?!

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!!”

In relationships, however, though there are a few gifted crazies who can pull the long con, most reveal who they really are in many small ways— long before you wake up strapped to a chair with a bright light shining in your eyes: “Tell me why you had sex with the neighbor!” she bellows. You:

“Wait—the 90-year-old?”

Identifying which ladies are from Batshitistan involves two things: 1.

Taking things really slowly so you can look at a woman’s behavior over time (especially when she doesn’t think you’re looking). 2. Wanting to see more than you want to believe.

It also might help you to take an honest approach to the past— admitting that you treated hope as a creative alternative to critical analysis.

This should help keep you from rashly welcoming the wrong people into your life, like that dark stranger ringing your bell in the hooded cloak.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Mythologist Joseph Campbell analyzed fairy tales for clues about how the human psyche works. For example, he said that a fairy tale character who's riding a horse is a representation of our relationship with our instinctual nature. If that character drops the reins and lets the horse gallop without guidance, he or she is symbolically surrendering control to the instincts. I bring this to your attention because I suspect you may soon be tempted to do just that that—which wouldn't be wise. In my opinion, you'll be best served by going against the flow of what seems natural. Sublimation and transcendence will keep you much stronger than if you followed the line of least resistance. Homework: Visualize yourself, as you ride your horse, keeping a relaxed but firm grasp of the reins.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I will provide you

with two lists of words. One of these lists, but not both, will characterize the nature of your predominant experiences in the coming weeks.

It will be mostly up to you which emerges as the winner. Now read the two lists, pick the one you like better, and instruct your subconscious mind to lead you in that direction. List 1: gluttony, bloating, overkill, padding, exorbitance. List 2: mother lode, wellspring, bumper crop, gold mine, cornucopia.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In his poem

"Interrupted Meditation," Robert Hass blurts out the following exclamation: "I give you, here, now, a magic key. What does it open? This key I give you, what exactly does it open?" How would you answer this question, Gemini? What door or lock or heart or treasure box do you most need opened? Decide today. And please don't name five things you need opened. Choose one, and one only. To do so will dissolve a mental block that has up until now kept you from finding the REAL magic key.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The following excerpt from Wendell Berry's poem "Woods" captures the essence of your current situation: "I part the out-thrusting branches and come in beneath the blessed and the blessing trees. Though I am silent there is singing around me. Though I am dark there is vision around me. Though I am heavy there is flight around me." Please remember this poem at least three times a day during the next two weeks.

It's important for you to know that no matter what murky or maudlin or mysterious mood you might be in, you are surrounded by vitality and generosity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A half-dead blast from the past is throttling the free flow of your imagination.

Your best possible future will be postponed until you agree to deal more intimately with this crumbled dream, which you have never fully grieved or surrendered. So here's my advice: Summon the bravest, smartest love you're capable of, and lay your sad loss to rest with gentle ferocity. This may take a while, so be patient. Be inspired by the fact that your new supply of brave, smart love will be a crucial resource for the rest of your long life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Five times every day,

devout Muslims face their holiest city, Mecca, and say prayers to Allah. Even if you're not Islamic, I recommend that you carry out your own unique version of this ritual. The next three weeks will be a favorable time to cultivate a closer relationship with the inspirational influence, the high ideal, or the divine being that reigns supreme in your life. Here's how you could do it: Identify a place that excites your imagination and provokes a sense of wonder.

Five times a day for the next 21 days, bow in the direction of this treasured spot. Unleash songs, vows, and celebratory expostulations that deepen your fierce and tender commitment to what you trust most and love best.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "The road reaches every place, the short cut only one," says aphorist James Richardson. In many cases, that's not a problem.

Who among us has unlimited time and energy?

Why leave all the options open? Short cuts can be valuable. It's often smart to be ruthlessly efficient as we head toward our destination. But here's a caveat: According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you're now in a phase when taking short cuts may be counterproductive. To be as well-

By ROB BREZSNY week of June 8

seasoned as you will need to be to reach your goal, you should probably take the scenic route. The long way around may, in this instance, be the most efficient and effective.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Truth is like the flu,"

says poet James Richardson. "I fight it off, but it changes in other bodies and returns in a form to which I am not immune." In the coming days, Scorpio, I suspect you will experience that riddle first hand— and probably on more than one occasion. Obvious secrets and wild understandings that you have fought against finding out will mutate in just the right way to sneak past your defenses. Unwelcome insights you've been trying to ignore will finally wiggle their way into your psyche. Don't worry, though. These new arrivals will be turn out to be good medicine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to Guinness World records, the most consecutive hours spent riding on a roller coaster is 405 hours and 40 minutes. But I suspect that during the next 15 months, a Sagittarian daredevil may exceed this mark. I have come to this conclusion because I believe your tribe will be especially adept and relatively comfortable at handling steep rises and sudden dips at high speeds. And that won't be the only rough talent you'll have in abundance. I'm guessing you could also set new personal bests in the categories of most frequent changes of mind, most heroic leaps of faith, and fastest talking.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Whether we like

to admit it or not, all of us have acted like puppets.

Bosses and teachers and loved ones can manipulate us even if they're not in our presence. Our conditioned responses and programmed impulses may control our behavior in the present moment even though they were formed long ago. That's the bad news. The good news is that now and then moments of lucidity blossom, revealing the puppet strings. We emerge from our unconsciousness and see that we're under the spell of influential people to whom we have surrendered our power. This is one of those magic times for you, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A few weeks ago you undertook a new course of study in the art of fun and games. You realized you hadn't been playing hard enough, and took measures to correct the problem. After refamiliarizing yourself with the mysteries of innocent joy, you raised the stakes. You began dabbling with more intensive forms of relief and release. Now you have the chance to go even further: to explore the mysteries of experimental delight. Exuberant escapades may become available to you. Amorous adventures could invite you to explore the frontiers of liberated love. Will you be brave and free enough to meet the challenge of such deeply meaningful gaiety? Meditate on this radical possibility: spiritually adept hedonism.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Poet Sharon Dolin compares artists to sunflowers. They create "a tall flashy flower that then grows heavy with seeds whose small hard shells you must crack to get to the rich nut meat." As I contemplate the current chapter of your unfolding story, I see you as being engaged in a similar process, even if you're not literally an artist. To be exact, you're at the point when you are producing a tall flashy flower. The seeds have not yet begun to form, but they will soon. Later this year, the rich nut meat inside the small hard shells will be ready to pluck. For now, concentrate on generating your gorgeous, radiant flower.

CASH TSUNAMI Cannabis growers can manage an expanding market by joining forces.

Farmers Control Their Fate

C

ANNABIS FARMERS in California have the opportunity to work together, build cooperative brands and secure a competitive position in the newly developing market.

But the longer they wait, the more leverage they lose in securing their value, as corporate competitors emerge.

As with any industrial boom there are businesses preparing to introduce boutique products and novel marketing techniques.

Unfortunately, some people want a piece of the action however they can get it, from selling snake oil products to skimming off the top. Green rush fever is propelling the cannabis industry into an age of innovation, while simultaneously dividing the regulated market community and creating an avenue for black market operators.

The next two years will test the agility and resilience of the existing small farmers who created this foundation, as they prepare for permit and license applications. Learning to compete on the regulated market presents a new challenges with the cost of branding, marketing and securing sales.

Change is rarely met with majority approval, and regulating commercial cannabis is no exception. The power struggle against a corporate cannabis takeover has already begun. Yet the racketeer may not be clearly identified in all the confusion of the new regulatory structure. The prospect of an alcohol model of tiered distribution has created outrage in the cannabis industry. With reports of distributors charging 30 percent of revenue from farmers for distribution, they should be concerned.

The Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act (MMRSA) was designed with protections for small businesses. There are some people who disagree with the independent distribution provisions, but it actually opens up access to the market. Having a strong distribution partnership will ensure a product has a buyer. Distribution is a cost that producers are already incurring. The cost of a more formal distributor-transporter replaces the cost or the points that producers pay a broker or driver now.

Farmers control the market. After almost 80 years of prohibition, they are simply not used to having a voice and wielding that power. Growers can create the solutions if they step up to the challenge. It begins with consolidating efforts as cooperatives and creating focused impact in local and state politics. —Tawnie Logan

WHO's Trying to Make San Jose Safer?

In December of 2015, the San Jose City Council passed several amendments to its Medical Cannabis program. These amendments allow collectives to freely exchange cannabis (without any proof the source) and allow for manufacturing of cannabis products at off-site locations. These amendments further allow for cannabis profiteering and decrease the City of San Jose’s control over an already unregulated industry. MediMarts, a true closed loop, vertically integrated collective, submitted the following letter to the City Council before that meeting.

November 30, 2015 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of San Jose From: Stephen A. Horner, on Behalf of MediMarts Re: Item 3.4- Proposed Amendments to the San Jose Municipal Code Regarding Medical Marijuana.

There are several amendments to the San Jose Municipal Code before the City Council for the December 1, 2015 council meeting that my client and I feel are improper, violate well established law and need immediate attention. The most questionable changes contained in these amendments are: 1) allowing cannabis to be transferred between registered collectives and; 2) prohibiting delivery. Neither of these changes comport with the purposes of the City’s Medical Marijuana Program. Most importantly, neither of these changes are in accordance with established and applicable California Law, or the Federal Controlled Substances Act. LEGAL BACKGROUND Controlled Substances Act Under current federal law, marijuana is illegal, considered to have no beneficial use, and contraband under all circumstances. Federal law will always preempt conflicting state law. 1 Compassionate Use Act In 1996 California voters passed Proposition 215, the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 later codified as California Health and Safety Code section 11362.5 (“CUA”).2 The CUA was enacted “[t]o ensure that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes.”3 Although the CUA itself uses the word “right” most state courts have interpreted the CUA to be a limited defense to criminal prosecution for a very specific and limited set of individuals: 1) Seriously ill California patients; and 2) primary caregivers of those seriously ill patients, when either engage in the use of marijuana for medical purposes. 4Courts have made it clear that the CUA is a narrow measure with narrow ends.5 Contrary to popular belief, there is no right but only a defense against state prosecution for the use of marijuana for medical purposes.

Medical Marijuana Program Act The State Legislature passed Senate Bill 420, also known as the Medical Marijuana Program Act (“MMPA”) in 2003. The bill was codified as California Health and Safety Code §11362.7 et. seq.. The purpose of the MMPA was to “[c]larify the scope of the application of the [CUA] and facilitate the prompt identification of qualified patients and their designated primary caregivers . . . (2) Promote uniform and consistent application of the act among the counties within the state. [¶ And] (3) Enhance the access of patients and caregivers to medical marijuana through collective, cooperative cultivation projects.”6 The MMPA did not create blanket immunity or additional rights it simply expanded the defenses and criminal immunities under the CUA.7 The MMPA allows for the formation and operation of medical marijuana cooperatives that receive reimbursement for services provided in conjunction with the provision of that marijuana.8 The MMPA created a very strict set of limited rights under which marijuana could be legally produced and collectively transferred.

A LT E R N AT I V E MEDICINE

ISSUES WITH THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS 1. Sale of Cannabis: Irrespective of the CUA and MMPA’s defenses, the sale, possession for sale or purchase of marijuana, whether for medical purposes or otherwise, is strictly prohibited. More importantlythe MMPA does not allow qualified patients, valid identification cardholders or their primary caregivers to earn a profit from the cultivation or distribution of medical marijuana, whether through a cooperative, collective or otherwise. 9 The defense from penal prosecution afforded by the MMPA applies only when no sale occurs and there is no profit.10 “Nothing allows marijuana to be purchased from outside the collective or cooperative for distribution to its members.

Instead, the cycle should be a closed-circuit of marijuana cultivation and consumption with no purchases or sales to or from non-members.”11 These closed-circuit collectives and cooperatives must be comprised of actual human medical cannabis patients and not legal entities.12 In other words, only members of a collective may participate in the cultivation or transportation of cannabis.

(PAID FOR BY MEDI MARTS)

The current proposal essentially establishes a cannabis industry within the City. While there are currently closed-loop collectives that are each comprised of a certain group of individuals working towards a singular goal of producing the medicine that the group needs for its medical conditions; the proposed scenario would create a market in which collectives’ goals are not the needs of each collectives’ members, but production for sale in an open market. All the while, the City would take a cut of the monetary transactions through the Marijuana Business Tax. The CUA does not allow these sales. No other state law or regulation allows sales. They are also plainly illegal under Federal Law. The City should not go down the path of encouraging and profiting from these illegal transactions. California courts, on numerous occasions, have made it clear that marijuana is only to be collectively grown and shared, but not sold–anything outside of that is met with heavy resistance. This attempted amendment goes in direct opposition of this precedent.

Collectives have had ample opportunity to cultivate cannabis in advance of commencing operation. The City’s registration program required each of these collectives to begin the registration process earlier this year and complete several steps by July 17, 2015. This included having a location and submitting all relevant building permit applications. Since collectives could have begun cultivation during this process, a San Jose Cannabis industry is not necessary. The only effect of the proposed changes would be to create this illicit industry.

2. Delivery The City Manager’s Office has provided a conclusory statement against delivery.13 There is no reason that the same patient vetting process would not apply to deliveries so there is also no reason that diversion is more likely if deliveries are allowed. A city’s police power over medical cannabis has limits and may not be applied beyond the scope of the CUA and MMPA or in contravention to the intent of the MMPA.14 Transportation is a necessary activity to ensure patients access to medical cannabis.15 The proposed ban on delivery only serves to erect a barrier between seriously ill patients and medical cannabis. The areas in which collectives can operate is severely limited so seriously ill patients who do not happen to live near a collective and do not have a primary care giver are forced to leave their homes and travel to a collective. While many patients are able to travel freely, a large contingent is too ill to leave their homes. These are the individuals that the CUA, the MMPA, and the City’s Municipal Code is intended to serve most and it is irrational to put the burden of traveling to remote parts of the City on them.

The council should not approve these changes to the San Jose Municipal Code because they would move the City’s Medical Marijuana Program away from the purpose of the CUA, the MMPA, and the Municipal Code itself.

Mad Love THAT’S MY BAE Ludwig van Beethoven was a son of a gun, but he loved two things: music and women.

‘Immortal Beloved’ exhibit speculates on Beethoven’s mystery woman

BY GARY SINGH

W

HO WAS LUDWIG van Beethoven’s immortal beloved?

From now until Sept.

10, visitors to the MLK Main Library can vote on it. Think it was Josephine von Deym? Or perhaps Antonie Brentano or Bettina von Arnim? Tear off the raffle ticket designated for the particular woman and deposit it into the receptacle. Visitors can even write in candidates if they want. Kim Kardashian probably wouldn’t mind a few ballots.

Thanks to the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies, located on the fifth floor of the library, the exhibit Beethoven in Love presents a wealth of text, photos and displays, all centering around the ancient mystery of just who Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved” really was, and if she ever even existed. Researchers, scholars, academics, biographers, novelists, filmmakers and other fanatics have obsessed over this woman’s identity for some 180 years now, so it was more than overdue for the Beethoven Center to organize an exhibit demonstrating the intensity of this mystery.

Allow me to regale you with some quick background. Beethoven lived from 1770 to 1827 and, in my

opinion, was essentially the bridge between the Classical and Romantic eras. He was a genius by any definition of that word. He was also shy, a loner, a raging drunk and not a very easy dude to get along with. In poetic terms: Never did he marry.

What he left behind, aside from what is perhaps history’s greatest body of classical music, was a serious repository of letters. In 1840, Anton Schindler published Beethoven’s now famous letter to his “Immortal Beloved.” Ever since then, people around the world have debated her identity in numerous languages.

Biographers have written books about particular women who might have been the one. Conferences have taken place. Films have graced the screen. It’s crazy.

For the Beethoven in Love exhibit, we get to see a facsimile of the original Immortal Beloved letter—all 10 pages—along with hair-splitting analysis of particular

words, phrases and anything that would possibly provide clues to this woman’s identity or places or related circumstances. The letter, in German, was translated by Virginia Beahrs, a noted Beethoven scholar. Each page is displayed separately on the center partitions of the exhibit, along with accompanying text and discussion.

Along the back wall of the exhibit, we find numerous antiquarian books and biographies covering several different women in Beethoven’s immediate surroundings. We see works in Hungarian, French, German and English. All of the subjects were at one time thought to be the recipient of the Immortal Beloved letter. The mystery has percolated for a long, long time.

Even during Ludwig’s life, obsessive people in Vienna squabbled about him having an unsuccessful infatuation with a woman in the first decade of the 19th century. People just wouldn’t shut up about it. The Immortal Beloved letter, though, was not discovered until after his death. Throughout the past 180 years, scholars have suggested many different women, but today only three remain as likely candidates: Josephine von Deym, Antonie Brentano and Bettina von Arnim. A short biographical text panel for each woman is also included in the exhibit. Visitors can draw their own conclusions.

To the left of the main central partitions in the exhibit, we see a glass case presenting an array of Beethoven’s close male friends, along with their stories. At the other end, we see a glass case of Beethoven’s close female friends, along with their respective stories.

This component of the show is somewhat odd, as if the organizers didn’t have anything to fill the space. Nevertheless, we do get to read about Therese Malfatti, an 18-year-old piano player whose parents banned Beethoven from their house because he lurked around Therese too often and was probably in love with her.

And we also get to read about Schindler, Beethoven’s voluntary assistant who wrote the first major biography of the composer following his death, but was later disgraced for forging pages of Beethoven’s conversation books.

All in all, Beethoven in Love is an obsessive exhibit, as love often is.

The restaurant officially opened its doors in March as part of a collaboration between Gordon Biersch Brewery co-founder Dan Gordon and Palo Alto restaurateur Steve Sinchek. The duo set out with a mission to serve comfort food made with locally sourced, organic ingredients. A list of the restaurant’s partner farms sits above the kitchen and includes local favorites like Dirty Girl Produce, Gizdich Ranch and Mary’s Organic Chicken.

We were seated comfortably near one of the many flat screen TVs and munched on a bowl of Cajun seasoned popcorn while waiting on our drinks. I ordered the seven-beer sampler ($15) for a taste of the newest beers in the expansive drink menu, which also includes local wines and rare whiskeys on tap. Two brews that stood out were the IPA, a hoppy but balanced West Coast style ale, and the Wildcide hard cider, which was refreshing without being overwhelmingly sweet.

For starters, we decided on the roasted coastal cauliflower ($10). It came decorated with golden raisins and neat slices of caramelized orange. Seasoned and roasted just right, what really made the dish stand out was the brown butter sauce—we ended up dipping everything else we ate in it, too.

I ordered the strawberry rustic panzanella salad with miso vinaigrette ($13) while my dining partner went with a classic two-meat combo platter with St. Louis ribs and Sonoma range turkey breast ($24). Dan Gordon’s isn’t exactly the most vegetarian-friendly place—“Hey vegetarians, stop eating my food’s food!” is written out in large chalk letters above the dining area—but the salad was tasty and fresh, although the dressing was more like a glaze than vinaigrette. The ribs and turkey breast were both expertly cooked, thanks in part to the 750-pound oak-fired smoker on the premises. It had just enough smoky mesquite flavor to pair with the homemade habañero barbecue sauce.

In between bites, we cleansed our palettes with Gordon’s famous garlic fries ($8), alternating between three house-made barbecue sauces. The PUB DATE: rest of00/00/15 the menu boasts upscale and unique takes on traditional bar food like brisket poutine ($12), chili mac n’ cheese ($13) and house-smoked wings with pickled crudité ($14). —Avi Salem
