No Kidding I saw you at —— in Campbell on Thursday evening. You had your two adorable children with you.

You promptly sat your 3-yearold daughter down at a table alone in the restaurant and carried your 2-year-old son into the bar to get your first drink. Then you returned to the table, finished your drink and left BOTH children alone at the table while you went to the bar to get your second drink. Shame on you for not recognizing how precious your children are and how dangerous it is in our world to leave them alone. Were your cocktails more important than them?

I can only hope you weren’t also driving.

Last Stand Rep. MIKE HONDA’s primary election defeat to RO KHANNA almost certainly spells deuces for the eight-term congressman.

Consider that Khanna announced a huge fundraising advantage with $1.5 million cash on hand as he heads toward the November runoff, and the Honda camp’s sudden post-primary departures—field director ANDREW MUNSON, finance director SUDIP DUTTA and deputy finance director NICOLE NABULSI—and it makes sense why Uncle Mike’s remaining operatives are sticking to “right-wing millionaire and billionaire” talking points like life preservers. In an email exchange with Fly, Honda campaign manager MICHAEL BECKENDORF and spokesman VEDANT PATEL both refused to explain the circumstances of recent departures.

Word is Dutta saw the writing on the wall—knowing there’s no chance to win and asking for campaign money is career seppuku—and found a soft landing with They Rep. BARBARA LEE Did (D-Oakland), who is a What? shoo-in for re-election.

SEND TIPS TO Beckendorf also seems FLY@ to be buttressing against METRONEWS. the taint of losing, as his COM LinkedIn profile names nine previous candidates he’s worked for but curiously omits Honda’s name as his current employer.

Instead, Beckendorf presents himself as the campaign manager of a generic “Congressional Compaign” [sic]. He even ignored Fly’s helpful tip about fixing the typo, instead trotting out a stale trope on right-wing support for Khanna that’s been recycled with little success. Honda’s campaign employees aren’t the only ones jumping ship, though. The congressman’s district director EDWIN TAN left the office last month, and there may be others.

Despite Honda’s ongoing ethics probe, none of this is to suggest Fly is calling for Honda to drop out. Mercury News howler monkey SCOTT HERHOLD said as much in a recent column, teeing it up for commenters to let him know the bell tolls for thee.

Food, Interrupted STARVING STUDENTS Jerry Wilburn, who experienced hunger during his undergrad years at San Jose State, now helps his peers by managing free campus food pantries.

Staggering number of Cal State students go hungry, homeless

BY MELISSA HARTMAN

I

N HIS EARLY college years, Jerry Willburn had a hard time focusing on his studies because he had to worry about where to find his next meal. He was 30 years old when he enrolled at San Jose State University (SJSU) in 2010, newly jobless after Fremont-based New United Motor Manufacturing Plant buckled under the weight of global recession.

For a time, his schedule revolved as much around his six classes as the daily treks to local soup kitchens and food pantries. He ate ramen and canned veggies from the campus food shelves and, by way of a meandering bus trip, the occasional hot meal from Sacred Heart Community Service. The stress, he says, drove him to counseling.

“I had savings, but I burnt through them after six months,” he says. “When you start running out of your savings, it’s all focusing on survival. Once a student is in that frame of mind, the chance of [focusing on] being a student becomes really slim because you’re thinking about quitting college and

working for another company full time to make rent.”

After months of agonizing over hunger and the threat of eviction, Wilburn put himself on a list for crisis counseling. Thankfully, he found a part-time job at the university to pull him out of survival mode and into a mindset that allowed him to see the future again.

Now 36 years old and working on his master’s degree, he makes enough cash to get by and stay focused on what matters: his education.

Willburn is hardly alone in his experience. One in five California State University (CSU) students—57,000 of them—worry about hunger, according to a striking new report commissioned

by Chancellor Timothy P. White.

Meanwhile, one in 10 deal with homelessness.

The survey of 460,000 students

that people who lack food are more likely to lapse into depression. Another report in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry found that hunger increases the risk of anxiety, a litany of mood disorders and drug and alcohol abuse.

All of which, studies show, lead to less focus and lower grades.

Food stamps—formally called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP—offer little help.

To qualify, a person must actively look for a job, not voluntarily quit or reduce hours to focus on school. California’s CalFresh program may allow for some exceptions, depending on the county and extenuating circumstance.

After the local 2014 survey that showed the extent of student hunger, SJSU formed a committee to bolster resources for those who need help.

The school now keeps 15 stocked pantries throughout the campus and require no identification or sign-in for the food. Although, on a recent visit to one pantry it looked like slim pickings: a dozen Campbell soup cans and a single packet of instant oatmeal.

Wilburn says that underscores the need for more donations.

But the state’s year-long study out in June showed some ways to improve the safety net for SJSU students.

Struggling students have access to only a limited number of emergency meals, according to the report. They can apply for a short-term $500 loan but have to repay it within two months or end of semester. To make up for the lack of on-campus assistance, the school is making efforts to connect students with outside nonprofits and government subsidies.

Elizabeth Agramont-Justiniano, a SJSU sociology major who spearheaded the school’s food shelf program in 2012, says Costco delivers about $2,500 worth of food ever months and still falls short of what’s needed to feed students. The issue hits close to home, she says, as her collegeeducated parents relied on food stamps when she was a child.

“There were times growing up when we couldn’t eat,” she says. “I just remember that experience, growing up and even having some of the resources and not getting enough. That’s why I’m trying to help the students.”

9 JULY 13-19, 2016 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

marks the first time in the nation that a public university system asked students about their personal experience with hunger and homelessness. University officials plan to use that data to figure out how to meet those subsistence-level needs so students can focus on graduating.

“These are our students,” White said in a statement last month about the findings. “These are the strivers who will define for a generation what it means to radically change the course of one’s life. We must do all that we can to ensure that they have a place in this world where they can go when they are hungry and have no place to sleep.”

San Jose State conducted a similar campus-wide study in 2014, which showed that about half of students skipped meals because of cost.

And one in three said they’ve had to choose between food or rent, transportation and utilities.

Wilburn, who helps manage the same campus food pantries that pulled him through years ago, says he knows of at least 53 San Jose State students who sacrifice stable housing to stay in school. It doesn’t help that California’s public university tuition costs have doubled over the past decade and tripled since 2000, according to a recent analysis by the Sacramento Bee. Compounding the problem are the rising costs of textbooks and rent, a dearth of affordable housing and higher student loan fees.

“When you look at Silicon Valley, rent is high,” says Stephanie Fabian, who manages the school’s student food resources. “Living conditions are expensive. When you are dealing with a city where rent is dramatically different, you can see the struggle among students who are deciding if their salary should be going to textbooks, rent or food.”

According to the Pew Research Institute, millennials stand to become the most educated generation in history. That they have to choose between their academic success and basic survival is unconscionable, school officials say. It means delaying graduation to take on more work or dropping out altogether—especially if they have children to feed and house.

Going homeless and hungry also means suffering mental and physical maladies. A 2014 study by the American Society for Nutrition found

An inside look at San Jose politics

FANCY BUBBA Bill Clinton made some exorbitant demands for private speaking engagements

after he left the White House, according to a new report.

Clinton Fleeced Foothill-De Anza for Speech, Q&A

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH Bill Clinton made some diva demands as a six-figure speaker when he left the White House for the lecture circuit, according to newly unearthed records.

For a speaking engagement with Cupertino’s Foothill-De Anza Community College District in 2002, the ex-president refused the going rate of $60,000 per event for world leaders such as Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. After some back-and-forth, he agreed to at least $100,000 a speech for six events, the Los Angeles Times’ Evan Halper reported.

Clinton insisted that same year on taking the 70-mile trek from San

Francisco to the Mondavi Center at UC-Davis by private jet, forcing the university to find a last-minute donor to cover the expense. He also racked up a $1,400 hotel phone bill and a $700 dinner tab, which his handlers at the Harry Walker Agency called “reasonable expenses.”

Another proviso involved screening questions to avoid mention of political and personal scandals. An organizer of one Bay Area speaker series called the suggested queries “terrible, and terribly general.”

The Republican National Committee obtained the records through a series of Freedom of Information Act requests to gear up for a general election fight against Hillary Clinton.

By their own count, the Clintons have raked in more than $150 million from private speaking engagements since they left the White House in 2001. Bill has made up to $750,000 for a corporate event. Their exorbitant fees and inordinate demands changed the political speech-for-cash game, Times columnist Christina Bellantoni noted in a Sunday political roundup.

In the decade since, the Clintons’ six-figure demands have become standard. Hillary’s honorarium has topped $200,000. And her refusal to release transcripts from corporate events—including three speeches Goldman Sachs paid $675,000 to hear—has become a matter of political contention.

SJPD Finally Launches BodyWorn Cameras Two-and-a-half years have passed since San Jose police first began studying the use of body cameras.

On Wednesday, the department will finally equip its officers with devices to visually and audibly record interactions with the public.

Officers will undergo a fourhour training Wednesday, which will be open only to the media, before being deployed in the field with operational body cameras.

The recordings will become part of investigative records, similar to 9-1-1 calls and collected evidence.

Police Chief Eddie Garcia, Lt. Elle Washburn—a commander for the Body-Worn Camera Administrative Unit—and a representative from camera manufacturer Taser International will attend the training to answer questions.

The training will cover maintenance as well as mandatory and discretionary uses of the cameras.

Subsequent trainings will take place periodically to keep officers up-todate with the technology.

Studies have shown that officers without body cameras make more arrests than those with them, and officers wearing cameras were “25.2 percent more likely to perceive the devices as being helpful during their interactions with the public.” A study of preliminary statistics by San Diego’s police department found that body cameras helped reduce personal “body force” incidents by 46.5 percent.

Proponents of body-worn cameras have long argued that the technology should not only protect citizens from excessive force, but also protect the city from frivolous lawsuits.

SJPD has posted its body camera policy on its website. —Daphne Morales

BYOB: BUILD YOUR OWN BABY

STANFORD PROFESSOR’S NEW BOOK ‘THE END OF SEX’ PREDICTS A WORLD WHERE INFANTS ARE MADE TO ORDER BY NICK VERONIN

U

NCONDITIONAL LOVE. A rekindling of purpose. A true understanding of what it means to be patient.

These are the kinds of stale and embarrassing tropes trotted out in every selfhelp book and daytime TV segment ever produced on “The Joys of Parenting.”

Please. Spare us the cheesy listicles enumerating the priceless lessons

kids can teach us. Parents don’t get into the game of childrearing to reconnect with a lost sense of childlike wonder—that’s what LSD is for.

In the real world, mothers and fathers spend thousands of dollars on soon-to-be-outgrown athletic equipment, burning through paychecks and free time to ferry their precious little princes and princesses to expensive rehearsals and far-flung recitals. In this way, parents foist their own dreams upon the children they have sired, in the desperate, frenzied hope their

progeny will achieve the greatness they did not.

And soon—within a generation or two, if we are to believe the predictions of Henry T. Greely, professor of law and genetics at Stanford University— advancements in the fields of genetics and fertility medicine will give these Apache-helicopter parents the power to begin molding their youngsters before they’ve even drawn their first breath.

Greely outlines his vision for the not-so-distant future in his new book, The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction.

Oh, yeah… Greely also envisions a world where the physical act of baby-making no longer figures into making babies—at least not nearly as much as it does now. In The End of Sex, Greely predicts that by the middle of the 21st century, most individuals who are actively planning a family will forego the “old-fashioned” method of getting pregnant—atop a mattress or in the backseat of a car—and opt instead to effectively build their babies surrounded by the pale blues, sterile whites and brushed stainless steel

silvers of the nearest fertility clinic.

Sounds awful, right?

Maybe not.

The upshot to all of this, according to Greely, is that parents will have far more control over their child’s prenatal health, and will navigate their pregnancies with greater peace of mind knowing that the little human they are about to fling into the world will have the best chance—genetically speaking—to live a healthy, meaningful and productive life.

BYOB A former lawyer, Greely joined the Stanford Law School faculty in 1985.

His emphasis on the “ethical, legal, and social implications of new biomedical technologies” helped him earn a “courtesy” professorship in genetics from the Stanford School of Medicine.

He currently serves as director of the university’s Center for Law and the Biosciences, and as chair of the steering committee for the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics.

Over the course of his career,

Greely has kept a close eye on the developments of the biotech sector—watching as state and federal courts grapple with the thorny, moral quandaries that inevitably arise when science and sex intersect.

He anticipates a not-so-distant future in which parents will not only be able to choose the sex of their baby, they’ll take an active role in designing their children from top to bottom. With the help of less invasive in vitro fertilization techniques, geneticists’ ever-increasing ability to precisely

manipulate stem cells and the declining cost of mapping individual genomes, he believes scientists will create hundreds of viable embryos in the lab, run a full analysis of each embryonic genome and give couples a menu of potential children.

You might call it “building your own baby”—“BYOB,” for short.

BEAUTY ON A BUDGET

fallopian tubes led Lesley and John Brown to turn to fertility scientists to help them start a family. Their daughter, Louise, who turns 38 on July 25, was the world’s first “test tube baby.”

Back then, in vitro fertilization was a bleeding-edge technology.

These days, IVF procedures are far more common and are used to treat couples experiencing a multitude of fertility issues. However, as Greely observes: “It’s not cheap. It’s unpleasant. And it’s risky.” But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Currently, the IVF process necessarily involves extracting eggs from a woman’s ovaries. The procedure is painful and can lead to complications— including swelling of the ovaries and infection. Worse, harvesting female gametes tends to only yield between three and 15 viable embryos, and sometimes produces none.

Greely forecasts that this highly invasive process will soon give way to a procedure in which geneticists use “induced pluripotent stem cells”—a type of stem cell that has the potential to become just about any kind of cell—to create female gametes out of a woman’s skin cells. The technique has already been performed by Japanese and Chinese scientists using

the skin cells of laboratory mice. This biological alchemy will remove the risk of complications for women and allow for the creation of an unlimited number of viable embryos, Greely says.

Next comes genetic mapping.

Launched in 1990, the Human Genome Project was slow going at first. The work was expensive and time consuming. It took close to $1 billion and 13 years to sequence the very first human genome. Nowadays, it costs between $3,000 and $5,000 and takes somewhere between 24 and 48 hours.

All that remains is putting it all together. In the baby-building fertility clinics of the future, Greely predicts scientists will first use the aforementioned induced pluripotent stem cells to create around 100 viable embryos, then run what he calls “preimplantation genetic diagnosis” on each embryo.

These PGDs will produce a wealth of information about how each potential individual will look and act. Everything from the sex and physical attributes to the likelihood of genetic disorders will be calculated and made available to parents.

Stranger Than Fiction Greely is aware that all of this can sound like the plot to some dystopian sci-fi novel, especially when assuming that the service will only be available to the rich and that those who choose to use it will actively select for tall, athletic boys and blonde, waif-like girls.

Name-checking Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Greely acknowledges that the Western canon is brimming with cautionary tales warning of the consequences awaiting those who would play god.

He understands the trepidation many have when it comes to bioengineering. Still, he is confident that the system he has outlined in his book will soon be commonplace.

Public health advocates will support the technology in the name of saving children from debilitating diseases; the insurance industry will see an opportunity to save money;

and fertility clinics will jump at the chance to bring more patients in the door. Greely even sees the right-tolife movement playing a role.

Greely believes “the opening wedge” in the widespread adoption of this technology will come as a fertility treatment for “articulate, middle class, white, straight couples” who are unable to conceive naturally.

“Although the right-to-to life movement intellectually doesn’t like the idea of embryos being made and not used,” Greely says, “it does like the idea of people who want to have babies having babies.”

Once the Food and Drug Administration approves a new drug, medical technology or procedure, doctors are free to use it for any purpose they deem suitable. That’s when the healthcare and insurance industries will jump in—along with fertility clinics.

“There are already roughly 600 fertility clinics in the country,” Greely observes. “They are very profitable.

They have a good trade organization.

And I think they will push very hard

with advertising and lobbying to make this possible.”

Political Science The amount of human suffering that arises from serious genetic disorders—such as Tay-Sachs, which usually kills children before they reach 5 years of age—is incalculable.

However, according to Greely, the savings that would result from widespread adoption of this technology can be calculated.

Setting aside the potential savings that BYOBs might bring to the health system as fitter adults, Greely estimates that the amount of money saved in the treatment of babies with serious genetic disorders alone will make this technology so cost effective that governments and insurance companies will ensure that the service is free to everyone.

Greely estimates that producing a sexless baby will cost about $10,000

See what you think.

Greely envisions a world where the physical act of babymaking no longer figures into making babies.

Beyond the promise of avoiding genetic disease and reducing other gene-linked maladies, there is another reason Greely believes the technology he outlines will be adopted.

In theory, the aforementioned process of manipulating induced pluripotent stem cells—which will give scientists the power to turn skin cells into male and female gametes— will not only aid heterosexual couples battling fertility issues; it will also allow gay and lesbian couples to produce their own genetic children.

“I think that’s a very politically attractive story,” Greely says.

Of course, gay men will still have to find a surrogate to carry the baby to term, he notes. And lesbian couples will be unable to produce a male child without the addition of a Y chromosome. However, he thinks the technology to add a Y chromosome to a pair of gametes is not far off.

The Court of Public Opinion Greely insists he is not making an argument in favor or against the system he is outlining. He is merely predicting what will come in the near future. “The book, to me, is kind of like a memo to a client,” he says, slipping into the role of legal counselor. “Here are the pluses, here are the minuses.

You make the decision.”

There are plenty of individuals who have made strong arguments for and against genetically modified humans.

In 2007, Michael J. Sandel, a professor of philosophy at Harvard, published a book, The Case Against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering.

In an excerpt from the book, which ran in The Atlantic, Sandel writes: “To appreciate children as gifts is to accept them as they come, not as objects of our design or products of our will or instruments of our ambition. … The problem is not that parents usurp the autonomy of a child they design. The problem lies in the hubris of the designing parents, in their drive to master the mystery of birth.”

There are also those who will stand against designer babies for religious reasons, such as the individual who left the following comment on the Amazon.com page for The End of Sex: “This is NOT what God intended and NOT what God wants. This is what Satan wants. God created one man and one woman to be together and have families. He created sex to be pleasurable between a man and a woman. We need to turn back to Jesus.”

Greely understands there will always be ethical, moral and religious arguments made against the future he is predicting. “This might not be popular in Mississippi or North Dakota, but in the city and county of San Francisco…” he trails off, letting the thought linger. A true litigator, he is trained to present evidence and allow jurors and judges to come to their own conclusions.

And, he is quite sure that once “more people see that the kids born this way don’t have three heads,” more folks will come to embrace this brave new world.

Anyone paying attention to the current race for the White House will find parallels between the real world absurdities of the 24hour news cycle and the fictitious universe created by Suzanne Bradbeer in her ambitious play, Confederates. In this TheatreWorks production, a young journalist named Will uncovers a juicy secret about the daughter of a presidential candidate. There’s just one problem: he and the young woman have a history and the rookie reporter must decide whether to run with the story or spike it, raising questions about journalistic ethics and exploring the absurd world of contemporary politics.

Since 1999, San Francisco natives AC/DShe have been covering Australian hard rock icons AC/DC. The ladies claim to be pioneers of the all-female tribute band model. That may be true, but what matters more is the energy they put into each performance and their pride in honoring Bon Scott, AC/DC’s original lead singer. In fact, they only play pre-1980s, pre-Brian Johnson tunes (sorry, no Back in Black).

Opening for AC/DShe are the Killer Queens, who will provide an appropriately sparkly and studded tribute to Queen. (MH)

Rock & roll is a volatile thing. Some groups harness the energy of instability, while others disband as quickly as they form. After keeping quiet for close to six years, it seemed that Strung Out might never make music again.

Laughing Matters FACE FOR PUNCHLINES Comedian Brian Regan’s ridiculous facial expressions have helped him rise in the world of stand-up.

Squeaky clean cut-up Brian Regan takes his comedy seriously

BY AVI SALEM

W

HILE MANY COMICS pepper their stand-up act with profane and vulgar language—assaulting their audiences with social taboos in the pursuit of laughs— Brian Regan goes out of his way to keep things clean.

The strategy has paid off. Over the course of his 25-year career, he has earned the recognition of comedy legends, like Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock, and racked up 28 appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman—more than any other comic. He is adept at finding the funny in topics other comics wouldn’t bother exploring.

“I look at it like it’s a big mine,” Regan says, launching into a metaphor about his process. “There’s a bunch of

other miners in there and the miners are coming out with the pickaxes over their shoulders saying, ‘It’s picked clean, there nothing left in there!’ And I’m like, ‘Well, let me go in there, because there might be one last little nugget.’”

Like all comics, Regan pulls those nuggets from his experiences. Lately, he’s been drawing up on the things he’s learned as a father, as well his past, growing up one of seven children in a funny family.

Though he spends many nights making audiences to laugh with absurdist observations and ridiculous facial expressions, Regan’s job is not all fun and games. It takes discipline to pen pitch-perfect punchlines, he says. And he strives to improve with each joke he writes.

“I feel very fortunate that I get to do this,” he explains. “I try not to be lazy.”

There is a limit to what actively trying can do, however, and many of his best material comes to him only when he has allowed himself to relax and live in the moment.

“Once I try, it doesn’t work,” Regan explains. “It almost has to happen accidentally. You’re in line to check in at an airport, and you look around and see something, and you go, ‘Wow! I’ve noticed this before,’ and next thing you know—boom—a little eureka moment happens in your brain where you have a joke.”

Additionally, the comedian makes a point to leave some unplanned breathing room in his sets. While the majority of his routines are pre-written and rehearsed, he gives himself room for improvised content.

“I’d rather have grey areas in between bits, because then that makes your act more spontaneous,” Regan said.

Regan is booked 26-plus weekends out of the year and is accustomed to audiences who laugh and clap when he opens his mouth. Still, the comedian is gracious and humble over the course of his interview.

His true appreciation and love for comedy—in addition to “not really knowing what else to do”—shows through his dedication to his act and to his audience. And his willingness to try new things on stage, without trepidation or fear, explains why he’s a favorite among comedians.

“I still care every moment I’m on stage,” Regan says. “I would prefer that an audience like a new bit or idea, but that’s one of the fun things about life: there are no guarantees. And it’s the same thing with comedy. If I knew that every bit would kill, it would be boring. I would rather have that bit of trepidation, a little bit of—not fear—but curiosity, because when you’re on stage and you’re going into a new bit, it’s fun to have no idea what’s going to happen.”

Spartaaaaaaa!

RUN THROUGH THE JUNGLE In ‘Captain Fantastic,’ Viggo Mortensen plays a renegade hippy father, raising his clan in the woods of Washington.

Everything is just too fantastical in ‘Captain Fantastic’

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

B

ERKELEY-RAISED director Matt Ross stays true to his roots with Captain Fantastic—which will surely seem a deep movie in that city, thanks to its spirit of political grievance, its mottos, and its fantasy of chucking it all to head for the redwoods.

(It’s firs and pines, actually; set in Washington state, the film is shot in Canada.)

In the film’s opening scene we see a

many-pronged buck peeking through a thicket—so peaceful and serene that you know it’s all over for the deer.

Hiding, face painted with camouflage, young Bo (short for Bodevan, and played by George MacKay) pops out and stabs it in the throat.

Butchering the out of season deer, Bo’s father Ben (Viggo Mortensen) solemnly anoints his eldest son’s forehead with the blood, giving him a tidbit of raw liver to eat: “The boy is gone. In his place is a man.”

The patriarch has been raising his bustling family of six semidifferentiated children in the woods; the kids include a set of blond twin boys, as per a ’60s sitcom. They live off-grid in a jumble of buildings and a

schoolbus, playing music around the campfire by night. In the mornings, they’re rousted by “Reveille,” pumped from bagpipes to make it sound worse. They read important books, practice martial arts and climb rocks—it’s a mix of Outward Bound and the Swiss Family Robinson.

What of the woman who mothered these kids—she, who in defiance of the environmentalism flaunted here, added this platoon to an overpopulated world? She has gone to where my own mom of five said we children were sending her: straight to the madhouse. Her timely suicide spurs a road trip to confront the angry in-laws, who are hosting the funeral in New Mexico. Meanwhile, Bo has a secret. Though he was homeschooled, his mail box is stuffed with acceptance letters from every Ivy League college on the Eastern Seaboard.

Captain Fantastic gives the sense of a movie set in the 1970s but updated

to the present, for budgetary reasons.

Under the Sundance-ian stylings— “Little Miss Sunshine Goes prepper!”— there’s a whiff of mold to this script.

After adventures on the road, Ben and his clan get a cold welcome from the grandfather, Jack (Frank Langella) who has called in the police to bar Ben and his brood from the funeral.

I’ve been watching Langella with pleasure for a half a century, but he proves the old rule: play Dracula and you won’t come back. Black clad and stern, he’s the counter-cultural nightmare. Seeing Ben in his thrift shop-bought funeral attire, a scarlet polyester number, Jack growls: “A hippie in a clown suit.”

Is Jack wrong? Actor turned director Ross (he’s the Hooli CEO from TV’s Silicon Valley) uses Ben and his pack as a way of flagellating a greedy and obese nation. If only he’d made these Spartan kids less like supermen—made them a little more damaged. Their jam sessions are always in sync; if the script bemoans TV watchers, these musical scenes resemble The Partridge Family.

One actress stands out, aside from Kathryn Hahn, as Ben’s sister in law, an unheeded voice of common sense. At a trailer park, the movie gets a brief spark from the mocking teenaged Claire (Erin Moriarty). She brings out the funny side of Bo’s plight—the problem of learning from books. Since Bo is full of the Victorian novels he’s absorbed, he expects that a casual kiss must be followed by a wordy, kneeling marriage proposal.

As for Mortensen—he’s far from the soft-spoken, cowboy-movie intensity he brought to Lord of the Rings. He recalls critic Clive Davis’ description of a certain Shakespearean actor: “He played the part with an intensity that made you wish he hadn’t.” Ross is enthralled with this dictatorial crank, even posing him under a CG waterfall.

Both ’60s kook and Chingachgook, Ben is insufferably right all the time.

Ross is so adoring of his character’s fantasticness that he practically has the camera up Viggo’s nose.

Original Jokester WEIRD SCIENCE Crafting the perfect send-up of a song isn’t easy. When writing, Weird Al Yankovic often has multiple versions of each verse before settling on the punchiest one.

Despite competition Weird Al still the best pop music parodist

BY JOHN FLYNN

W

EIRD AL Yankovic peaked commercially in the 38th year of his career. His 2014 release, Mandatory Fun, debuted at number one— unprecedented for a comedy album. But this singular success provides a fitting coronation for the four-time Grammy winner, who has long been the jester in the court of A-list pop.

“I thought it was a pretty nice mic drop,” Yankovic says. “Of course, I was happy with the album and proud of it and hoping for the best, but I never in a million years would have thought it

would have been number one.”

The album features his typical gung-ho approach to genres, riffing on a Pixies vibe to bemoan spotty WiFi and low thread counts on “First World Problems” and one-taking a star-studded music video for “Tacky,” a garish reimaging of Pharrell’s “Happy.” But Yankovic has always been an unrestrained performer. In his teens, the former valedictorian handed a tape of parodies to radio icon Dr. Destructo who dug the sincerity of the braces-wearing accordionist. And starting with ’80s icons like Madonna and Michael Jackson, Yankovic has released 14 albums and built—no joke—one of the most diverse discographies ever.

“I like to be as eclectic as possible,” he says. “And that’s not because I'm good at all these genres. It's because

I’m shameless and I have a lot of unearned confidence. I basically convince myself that I can do anything and give it my best shot.”

After receiving wary permission from major names early in his career, Yankovic’s parodies have become a rubber stamp of relevance. He scored his biggest hit with “White & Nerdy” a mirror of “Ridin,’” Chamillionaire’s ode to dodging cops. When they met, the rapper thanked Yankovic as he believed the parody had ratified the importance of his single that won the Grammy for “Best Rap Performance” in 2007.

“For the first 15 years of my career, people kept wondering why I wasn’t going away,” he says. “But I’ve been around for so long, and had a measure of success and a whole generation has grown up with me. So all of a sudden, people are thinking like, ‘Oh, you’ve got your platinum album. You’ve got your Grammys. But where’s your Weird Al parody?’ That’s the real sign of success.”

In the modern era of pointed, political satire, Yankovic’s apolitical, surreal brand stands distinct. He

recycles pop into the raw materials for a giddy alternate universe stripped of cutting edges. His refusal to “go for the jugular” has attracted some critical derision, but Yankovic stands behind his anti-confrontational tone.

“I think it’s more of a challenge to be funny without stepping on somebody’s toes or being offensive or vulgar,” he says. “A lot of people say, ‘Your comedy is great at a time such as now where there’s so many horrible things that are going on.’ But I don't know where there has been a time where there wasn’t something horrible going on.

There’s never been a time where people said, ‘Gee, we sure don’t need comedy right now. Things are just great.’”

A meticulous writer, Yankovic drafts multiple options for each lyric. He wobbles between smart and dumb humor, excelling both at slapstick gags and brainy rants like “Word Crimes,” a parody of “Blurred Lines.”

While rapping and singing falsetto, he brandishes his grand vocabulary to savage improper English mutations, zagging away from the obvious target of the song’s semi-consensual sexual vibe—a concept that had already been rampantly spoofed on Youtube.

Despite being the “only game in town” in his early career, Al has transitioned smoothly to the crowded internet era. His album’s massive success owes in part to his release of eight music videos in eight days, a sowing of viral content that snowballed anticipation.

Weird Al’s legacy has been cemented. His wacky covers have often been imitated, but never replicated. Ever since MTV actually played music videos, he’s been our most taken-for-granted icon—the undisputed champion of weird.

“At some points in my life, I wonder whether it was a great idea to give myself the moniker ‘Weird Al’ because it hasn’t helped in the respect department,” he says. “But I’ve heard from a lot of kids that it was very empowering because they thought they were weird or different. So for that reason alone, it makes me glad. I’ve always flown my freak flag pretty high.”

Pop Punk Pioneers BIRTHED IN L.A.’s late-’70s underground music scene—back when punk rock was still in its infancy—The Dickies are one of the longest-running and most entertaining punk bands to ever take the stage.

Formed in the San Fernando Valley in in 1977, The Dickies hit upon a winning formula with songs like “Stukas over Disneyland,” and “We Aren’t The World”—all of which feature fast tempos, simple chord changes and catchy melodies paired with goofy and satirical lyrics. It is a sound that would influence SoCal pop punk bands for years to come.

As they approach the four-decade mark, the band’s founding members—guitarist Stan Lee and singer Leonard Graves Phillips—continue to draw excited crowds.

The campy track paired perfectly with scenes of evil clowns tossing flesh-melting pies and trapping hapless human victims in cotton candy cocoons—even though Lee says he and his bandmates knew very little about the film when writing the song.

“It was just the movie title, I went over to Leonard’s and he had that riff,” Lee says. “I brought it into (the filmmakers’) office and they said, ‘Sold!’” Another well-known Dickies song, “Banana Split,” was used in the superhero-action-dramady Kick-Ass. As the Dickies look back on almost 40 years together, Lee points to the basic foundation of the band as reason for their legacy and longevity.

“I think it’s the songs,” he says. “They hold up, it just proves that we were right. There was lots of animosity toward us and punk rock back then.

People were saying that it was terrible and we just stuck to our guns. I don't know… You stick around long enough and you get respectability— just like hookers and old buildings.”—Sean McCourt

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

I’ve always been a very athletic guy. I do jujitsu every day. When I don’t exercise, I feel depressed. My girlfriend, however, has never been very physically active.

She has a great body—naturally slim—without doing anything, which is probably why she’s unmotivated to work out. I just think that if she did—even a little—she’d look like a superhero and feel better. I keep urging her to exercise, but it’s not working. How do I encourage her?—Concerned

There’s that saying, “You are what you eat.” Apparently, your girlfriend ate a supermodel.

Numerous studies find that exercise is a mood booster and improves our cognitive abilities (like memory), even protecting them into old age. Incredibly, a study of female twins by geneticist Tim 25 E. Santa Clara St. Downtown SJ Spector found that those with fitter leg 408.292.6494· craze4toys.com muscles showed fewer signs of aging in their brain 10 years later. But we humans have a very now-oriented psychology.

So, for many people—like women who shave their legs before stepping on the scale—these pluses are merely fringe benefits of workouts for jiggle management. And unfortunately, when your girlfriend looks in the mirror, she sees that all those runs to the vending machine seem to be paying off.

It’s sweet and loving that you want her to have the benefits of exercising, but stand back, because I’m about to make a big mess slaughtering a sacred cow. Dr. Michael Eades and Dr. Mary Dan Eades, low-carb pioneers whose evidence-based ADVERTISER: NAME HERE approach to dietary medicine I have PUB DATE: for, dug into the research ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE: NAME HERE great respect 00/00/15 on exercise after meeting professional DESIGNER: NAME HERE fitness trainer Fredrick Hahn. They were ISSUE NUMBER: surprised at what they found and ended Metro Silicon Valley up writing15XX a book with Hahn, The Slow 380 South First St. San Jose, CA 95113 | 408.298.8000 Burn Fitness Revolution.

In their book, they note that many of the ways people exercise actually don’t do all that much for their bodies or long-term health. For example, they say that many endurance workouts— like the 7-mile runs I used to do—are “tremendously inefficient” for improving health and often come with some serious costs, like the need to have your knees rebuilt with medical Tupperware.

They also write that many sports that people consider exercise—including tennis, skiing, and (sorry!) martial arts—have some fitness benefits but would better be considered play. They explain that exercise should do all of the following: 1. Make you stronger; 2.

Improve your cardiovascular system; 3.

Help you lose excess body fat; 4. Improve

your endurance; 5. Improve your flexibility; and 6. Preserve or increase your bone density and muscle mass.

The one exercise that does all of these things is slow-motion strength training.

This involves lifting extremely heavy weights—weights that you can barely lift at all—extremely slowly. You do just three to six reps in 60- or 90-second intervals—to the point where your muscles just scream and give out.

By the way, though it says on the cover of their book that you can change your body by working out like this for just 30 minutes weekly, Mary Dan Eades told me that you really only have to do it for 12 to 15 minutes a week but they figured nobody would believe that.

Now maybe you’re saying, “Come on, weightlifting for cardio?” Consider that your heart is a muscle and muscle cells need oxygen as they work. Mike Eades explains on his blog that conditioning your muscles through strength training makes the body more efficient at getting oxygen into muscle cells, which is what improves your cardiopulmonary function—not all the pound, pound, pound of a run.

As for how to get your girlfriend into this kind of exercise, first, it helps to explain that it requires a ridiculously small time commitment. Of course, there’s still the problem of motivating her—considering how all she has to do to fit into her skinny jeans is have a plate of french fries and a nap.

Well, when you’re in a relationship, you get to make requests of your partner— things you ask them to do simply because it would make you happy. Put your request in that light, but give her an attractive (rebellion-quashing) timetable: For just three weeks, try slow-motion strength training with you. If, after that time, she hates it, she can stop. Mary Dan Eades explains that the three-week “try this” allows a person to experience some benefits, which often motivates them to keep going. If she does really get into it, be prepared: This eliminates any need to drag you kicking and screaming to the altar; she can just hoist you over her shoulder.

In its place the committee drafted language calling for rescheduling pot— currently Schedule 1—and creating “a reasoned pathway to future legalization.”

Bernie Sanders supporters had been pushing for firm legalization language, but were turned back last week and didn’t have any new language going into the platform committee meeting.

But on Saturday afternoon, the committee addressed an amendment that would have removed marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, as Sanders supporters had earlier sought, with Sanders delegate David King (D-Tennessee) arguing that pot was put in the same schedule as heroin during a political “craze” to go after “hippies and blacks.”

That amendment was on the verge of being defeated, with some committee members worrying that it went “too far” and that it would somehow undermine state-level legalization efforts, but the committee proposed merely rescheduling—not descheduling—marijuana and added the undefined “pathway” language.

The amendment was then adopted in an 81–80 vote, leading to a period of contention and confusion as former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, the committee co-chair, entered a complaint that at least one member may not have been able to vote. That led to arguments between committee members and non-voting observers, most of whom were Sanders supporters. The Washington Post reported that one Hillary Clinton delegate complained loudly that Sanders delegates “wanted 100 percent of everything.”

But the new language prevailed when former U.S. Senator Mark Pryor, a Clinton delegate from Arkansas, announced that even though opponents of the language were unhappy that the earlier compromise language had been replaced, they weren’t going to fight it.

“We withdraw the objection,” Pryor said.

Sanders supporters didn’t get the descheduling language they wanted, but they did get a commitment to rescheduling, which could be a path toward allowing medical studies of cannabis’ benefits. The matter will be taken up at the national convention. Getting the word “legalization” in there, even if the phrase “a reasoned pathway for future legalization” is a bit mealy-mouthed, is a small victory, but the Democratic Party now has marijuana legalization as part of its platform. —Phillip Smith Phillip Smith is editor of the AlterNet Drug Reporter and author of the ‘Drug War Chronicle.’

By ROB BREZSNY week of July 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Upcoming adventures might make you more manly if you are a woman. If you are a man, the coming escapades could make you more womanly. How about if you’re trans? Odds are that you’ll become even more gender fluid. I am exaggerating a bit, of course. The transformations I’m referring to may not be visible to casual observers. They will mostly unfold in the depths of your psyche. But they won’t be merely symbolic, either. There’ll be mutations in your biochemistry that will expand your sense of your own gender. If you respond enthusiastically to these shifts, you will begin a process that could turn you into an even more complete and attractive human being than you already are.

allow your quest for shiny breakthroughs and brilliant accomplishments to be overly influenced by what people think of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I’ll name five

heroic tasks you will have more than enough power to accomplish in the next eight months. 1.

Turning an adversary into an ally; 2. Converting a debilitating obsession into a empowering passion; 3. Transforming an obstacle into a motivator; 4.

Discovering small treasures in the midst of junk and decay; 5. Using the unsolved riddles of childhood to create a living shrine to eternal youth; and 6.

Gathering a slew of new freedom songs, learning them by heart, and singing them regularly— especially when habitual fears rise up in you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Here’s the deal: I will confess a dark secret from my past if you confess an equivalent secret from yours. Shall I go first? When I first got started in the business of writing horoscope columns, I contributed a sexed-up monthly edition to a porn magazine published by smut magnate Larry Flynt.

What’s even more scandalous is that I enjoyed doing it. OK. It’s your turn. Locate a compassionate listener who won’t judge you harshly, and unveil one of your subterranean mysteries. You may be surprised at how much psychic energy this will liberate. (For extra credit and emancipation, spill two or even three secrets.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your life has

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What do you want

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you are smoothly attuned with the cosmic rhythms and finely aligned with your unconscious wisdom, you could wake up one morning and find that a mental block has miraculously crumbled, instantly raising your intelligence. If you can find it in your proud heart to surrender to “God,” your weirdest dilemma will get at least partially solved during a magical three-hour interlude. And if you are able to forgive 50 percent of the wrongs that have been done to you in the last six years, you will no longer feel like you’re running into a strong wind, but rather you’ll feel like the beneficiary of a strong wind blowing in the same direction you’re headed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): On a summer day 20 years ago, I took my five-year-old daughter Zoe and her friend Max to the merry-go-round in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Zoe jumped on the elegant golden-maned lion and Max mounted the wild blue horse. Me? I climbed aboard the humble pig. Its squat pink body didn't seem designed for rapid movement. Its timid gaze was fixed on the floor in front of it. As the man who operated the ride came around to see if everyone was in place, he congratulated me on my bold choice. Very few riders preferred the porker, he said. Not glamorous enough. “But I’m sure I will arrive at our destination as quickly and efficiently as everyone else,” I replied.

Your immediate future, Aquarius, has symbolic resemblances to this scene.

resemblances to a jigsaw puzzle that lies unassembled on a kitchen table. Unbeknownst to you, but revealed to you by me, a few of the pieces are missing. Maybe your cat knocked them under the refrigerator, or they fell out of their storage box somewhere along the way. But this doesn’t have to be a problem. I believe you can mostly put together the puzzle without the missing fragments. At the end, when you’re finished, you may be tempted to feel frustration that the picture’s not complete. But that would be illogical perfectionism. Ninety-sevenpercent success will be just fine.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): How often have you visited hell or the suburbs of hell during the last few weeks?

According to my guesstimates, the time you spent there was exactly the right amount. You got the teachings you needed most, including a few tricks about how to steer clear of hell in the future. With this valuable information, you will forevermore be smarter about how to avoid unnecessary pain and irrelevant hindrances. So congratulations! I suggest you celebrate. And please use your new-found wisdom as you decline one last invitation to visit the heart of a big, hot mess.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My friend Athena works

as a masseuse. She says that the highest praise she can receive is drool. When her clients feel so sublimely serene that threads of spit droop out of their mouths, she knows she’s in top form. You might trigger responses akin to drool in the coming weeks, Virgo.

Even if you don't work as a massage therapist, I think it’s possible you’ll provoke rather extreme expressions of approval, longing, and curiosity. You will be at the height of your power to inspire potent feelings in those you encounter. In light of this situation, you might want to wear a small sign or button that reads, “You have my permission to drool freely.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The latest Free Will

Astrology poll shows that 33 percent of your friends, loved ones, and acquaintances approve of your grab for glory. Thirty-eight percent disapprove, 18 percent remain undecided, and 11 percent wish you would grab for even greater glory. As for me, I’m aligned with the 11 percent minority. Here’s what I say: Don’t

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are at the pinnacle of your powers to both hurt and heal. Your turbulent yearnings could disrupt the integrity of those whose self-knowledge is shaky, even as your smoldering radiance can illuminate the darkness for those who are lost or weak. As strong and confident as I am, even I would be cautious about engaging your tricky intelligence. Your piercing perceptions and wild understandings might either undo me or vitalize me.

Given these volatile conditions, I advise everyone to approach you as if you were a love bomb or a truth fire or a beauty tornado.

to be when you grow up, Capricorn? What? You say you are already all grown up, and my question is irrelevant? If that's your firm belief, I will ask you to set it aside for now. I’ll invite you to entertain the possibility that maybe some parts of you are not in fact fully mature; that no matter how ripe you imagine yourself to be, you could become even riper—an even more gorgeous version of your best self. I will also encourage you to immerse yourself in a mood of playful fun as you respond to the following question: “How can I activate and embody an even more complete version of my soul's code?”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Early on in our work together, my psychotherapist confessed that she only works with clients whose problems are interesting to her. In part, her motivations are selfish: Her goal is to enjoy her work. But her motivations are also altruistic. She feels she’s not likely to be of service to anyone with whom she can’t be deeply engaged. I understand this perspective, and am inclined to make it more universal. Isn’t it smart to pick all our allies according to this principle? Every one of us is a mess in one way or another, so why not choose to blend our fates with those whose messiness entertains us and teaches us the most? I suggest you experiment with this view in the coming weeks and months, Pisces.

Wild Bunch MOUNTAIN WOMAN Anne Brigman explored feminine identity in work such as this 1912 photogravure, ‘Finis.’

Anne Brigman and her artist circle were pioneers a century ago

BY GARY SINGH

B

ORN NEAR HONOLULU in 1869, Anne Brigman photographed nude women merging with nature in mystical, atmospheric settings. In her images, women are not posing for the male gaze. Instead, their unaffected female forms tend to fuse with trees, hillsides and cliffs in dramatic fashion, almost representing archetypes rather than humans.

By focusing on the female body

amid rugged landscapes along the California coast or the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Brigman developed new ways of exploring feminine identity. She achieved early success as a Pictorialist, infiltrating the Camera Club of San Francisco and the Photo-Secession group, led by Alfred Stieglitz in New York. Her photographs were poetic, pioneering and pagan. Even better, she spent her teenage years in Los Gatos.

That last fact was enough for Marianne McGrath to curate a small exhibit in the Spotlight Gallery at New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU), In the Heart of the Wild: Anne Brigman and her Circle, opening July 15. The Spotlight Gallery focuses on history, ideas and interesting characters with a

connection to Los Gatos. In the show, we see Brigman’s photos along with contemporaries like Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham. Most of the pieces came from private collectors. The show testifies to Brigman’s creative spirit.

“She was a trailblazer,” McGrath says. “She loved to hike, and go up into the mountains, and was really an outdoorswoman in an era when many women were not. It was the turn of the century, and it wasn’t really considered a ‘proper’ thing for a woman to do, to put on pants and go hiking into the mountains.”

Brigman was married for a time but didn’t want to start a family. She was devoted to her art and her career at a time when women weren’t supposed to do such things.

“In that sense, she was an early feminist,” McGrath says. “She was a very unique individual and very interesting to share with the rest of the Los Gatos community.”

In addition to exploring visual atmospherics—literally and figuratively unfamiliar to many women of her time—Brigman held an active social life. After moving to the East Bay, she ran with everyone from Jack London to Dorothea Lange and Charles Keeler. She operated a teaching studio, delivered lectures and staged artist salons where photographers, poets, painters and other aesthetes and raconteurs of the day all sat around, drank tea and traded ideas. It was precisely the type of cross-disciplinary, earth-centric bohemianism so desperately missing in today’s artist circles.

Brigman was also a huge influence on the photographer Louise Dahl-Wolfe (1895-1989), who pioneered what came to be known as environmental fashion photography. Known primarily for her work in publications like Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and Vanity Fair, DahlWolfe was the first to stage fashion model shoots outside the studio, setting up scenes in naturally lit locales, a revolutionary concept for the era.

Dahl-Wolfe often cited Brigman as an inspiration and it was quite possibly a visit to the latter’s studio that prompted Dahl-Wolfe to try photography in the first place. Dahl-Wolfe’s 1947 photo in Harper’s Bazaar, “Revival of the Basque,” is even included in the exhibit.

In her later years, Brigman began to write poetry that seemed inseparable from her images, resulting in an obscure book, Songs of a Pagan, published in 1949, a year before she died. If one can track down a copy, the book juxtaposes her own words against the photographs, all couched in pagan antiquity, with titles like “Solstice,” “Pan,” and “The Dryad.” That last one is included in the show at NUMU. Brigman dedicated the book to several people, including Alfred Stieglitz, who she said was a deephearted friend, a fierce but fair critic, and a “pillar of fire in the wilderness of the early days of pictorial photography, here in America and in England.”

“She was proud to be herself,” McGrath says. “She never compromised.

She was dedicated to her art and she was passionate about nature.”

What the Buck?

GONE FISHING Uncle Buck’s Fish Bowl & Grill has a distinctly strange vibe.

Bass Pro Shops’ restaurant, bowling alley a confounding odyssey

BY TOMEK MACKOWIAK

T

HE SUN WAS INTENSE and I could taste the Texas cedarwood as my homemade mustache wax melted into my mouth. If it wasn’t for the other ingredients—vegetable shortening, artisanally smoked beet sugar and Doritos Ranch dust—it would have been unbearable.

I dragged the kiddie pool out from the side of my domicile. Mr. Harada was on his way over, and we planned on relaxing in luxurious coolness in the front yard, where we could submerge ourselves almost to our belly buttons. I imagined the passersby admiring our nonchalant posture: butts wading in water, knees bent, feet on the yellow lawn, and forearms casually resting on beer coolers. It’s not the pool that makes the man, but the man who makes the pool.

The garden hose was running full tilt when Mr. Harada arrived, but to

our heartbreak the pool was not even a quarter full after five minutes. The compromised basin leaked the majority of the liquid in less than a minute. The situation was dire, so we called our old friend Larry the Limo, who arrived at the helm of a mid-1980s limousine with a pool in the rear. The water was a bit greenish, but Larry assured us it was safe. We dove in and made our way to the best bar in town: Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl and Grill, located inside Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World.

The place is a bowling alley split in two by a large bar area. It’s designed to look like an upside down sunken schooner. From the bar, looking up at the ceiling, patrons gaze upon the deck and can clearly make out the bow—the bowsprit is missing due to some catastrophe. What’s more incredible is that the sunken

schooner’s deck house, where the Captain would reside, is actually right side up, and serves as a dining room.

If that wasn’t enough to make this a UNESCO world heritage site, the entire space is filled with life-like fish that are cast correct to their actual size. A small school of fiberglass Bluefin tuna reside above the top-shelf booze. If you’re not familiar with how massive tuna are, go have a drink and think about it.

In a way, the Fishbowl is a more humane way to introduce your children and less educated friends to the immense physical size of ocean life than taking them to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

In a way, the Fishbowl is a more humane way to introduce your children and less educated friends to the immense physical size of ocean life than taking them to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Also, it’s a restaurant, and everyone can chuck bowling balls down the lanes. It would only be better if the schooner had a few bowling balls imbedded into the hull.

The Fishbowl is a sight to see.

Its extravagant design brings in clientele that yearn for a simpler time, displayed in hyperbolic excess. It’s a great lure, just like the assortment next door that attracts the largemouths.

Enter Starbird, a new, healthier version of Chick-Fil-A with in-app ordering and curbside pickup options in Sunnyvale. Founded by restaurant industry consultants from The Culinary Edge Ventures, one of whom is also the founder of the Pacific Catch brand, Starbird aims to reinvent the fast food genre.

While I doubt diners notice or care about the nuances between fast casual, super premium fast food, or fast fine dining—all terms I’ve heard from restaurant owners—customers do seem to care about getting healthy food quickly. Starbird gets this right. They achieve speed by preparing chicken from Petaluma Farms in only two ways, grilled or fried, minimizing the food prep to just assembly of sandwiches, salads and tacos. This process of minimizing differentiation in assembly paired with a food ordering app contributes to the kitchen’s quick turnaround.

The app allows users to order and pay, then pick up curbside or in stores.
