Bad Apple I saw you standing next to me at a club, holding up your iPad to take photos and videos of the band, completely oblivious to your surroundings and so engrossed in your screen, you weren’t actually watching the live show. And then you nearly elbowed me in the face. When I looked over, I realized why: left hand still clutching the iPad, you had also whipped out your iPhone and were holding that up, shooting videos simultaneously on both devices. Hope you got enough footage that when you get home, you can see what a good show you missed.

In the Haus

M

unich, Germany, dedicates an entire month to the celebration of German beer and food. B Beer enthusiasts from around the world fill tented beer halls. At Bierhaus in downtown Mountain View, guests enjoy can enjoy steins of German and European beers, poured year-round and served alongside a menu of hearty sausage plates, burgers and sandwiches.

Last fall Bierhaus transformed the restaurant formerly known as Steak Out into a counter-service gastropub complete with a beer garden and board games for socializing over steins of beer.

Though at Oktoberfest you will only find varieties that conform to the strict German purity law, Bierhaus pours all flavors beer from dark, malty Dunkel, crisp Pilsners, cloudy, fruity hefeweizens as well as Belgian varieties and a few domestic craft beers. The Bierhaus staff can be very helpful in finding a beer you’ll enjoy or just getting your pronunciation right on the sometimes tonguetwisting beer varieties. Many of the beers can be enjoyed in various sizes, but my vote is for a liter of cloudy, banana- and clove-scented hefeweizen any day.

The main attractions here are the sausage specialties and German comfort foods such as the spätzle sautéed with ham, swiss, braised greens and mushrooms.

Sausage selections include the marjoram-spiced nuremberger, the standard Bavarian bratwurst with its familiar bite of nutmeg and the Käsekrainer, an Austrian sausage speckled with bits of cheese that ooze out when it’s cut into.

Each sausage comes plated a little differently with either braised red cabbage, sauerkraut, crispy spätzle or braised greens and bacon. My favorite was the Käsekrainer, which came with sweet and tangy braised red cabbage, a dollop of whole grain mustard and a serving of spätzle that had been given a lightly browned and crisp texture. I really enjoyed the portions at Bierhaus. The sausage plates had all the components you would want with a German meal without being overkill.

Other items on the food menu include snacks suitable for munching over beers such as the standard pretzel with mustard as well as the creative currywurst and fries with Berlin curried ketchup. Bierhaus also has a menu of hearty burgers made with grass fed beef. Also available is the option to build your own burger.

While the restaurant may not be as overtly German as say, Teske’s in San Jose, with its hunting lodge decor, Bierhaus is an enjoyable destination for beer lovers and when the hankering calls for a plate of sausages and spätzle. —Jeff Cianci BIERHAUS 383 Castro St, Mountain View. 650.395.8209 or bierha.us/

Farm to Filoli

W

oodside these days has its fair share of mansions, but the grand dame of fancy houses in these parts has long exceeded its role as a mere dwelling. The Filoli Estate offers tours and educational programs at its rambling 1917 country house. The grounds also boast gardens that aren’t just for show, with plenty of heirloom fruit trees.

In that spirit, Filoli hosts its first farm-to-table dinner Sept. 25, 6:30pm— an alfresco affair. The meal, which will be served family style, features dishes from guest chefs Brendy Monsada from Left Bank, Menlo Park and Kelsey Casavan from LB Steak, Menlo Park. Each course will be paired with wine—certified sustainable wine, that is—from Livermore’s Wente Vineyards. The dinner is a fundraiser for Filoli’s programs.

Dessert comes courtesy of Jim Salyards, Filoli's garden manager, and Ursula Gallichotte, Filoli cooking instructor, who will whip up a dish using fruits picked right from Filoli's orchards.

Preceding the dinner, Ellen Ecker Ogden will discuss “The Art of Growing Food,” 4:30-6pm, in Filoli's Visitor and Education Center. (The talk requires tickets in addition to the dinner. Tickets for the talk are $30 nonmembers.) —Heather Zimmerman Dinner tickets are $150 and must be purchased by Sep 19. Filoi, 86 Cañada Road, Woodside. filoli.org

Scientifically Sauced WITH C2SV running all weekend and the return of the SoFA Street Fair this Sunday, many a San Jose party animal has likely asked himself: “How the hell am I going to take in all the festivities and show up to work on Monday feeling like a human?” Here at Metro we’ve certainly been debating the conundrum.

Fortunately, even if you do get carried the way on the back of a Moscow Mule during Café Stritch’s two local music showcases or put away one too many Hennchatas at Chacho’s during Ruckatan’s set, you’ll be able to look people in the eye on Monday, confident in the knowledge that C2SV Tech: Adam Rogers at least you understand the science behind all the & Yasha Levine preposterous and juvenile behavior you engaged in over the weekend.

Zero1 Garage, San Jose Just make sure you check out our conversation with Thu, Sep 11, 4:30pm, Free Adam Rogers on Thursday. The WIRED editor will be C2SV.com helping us kick off the fun by discussing his new book, Proof: The Science of Booze—a deep dive into everything scientists know (and don’t know) about alcohol.

The book explores the accidental discovery of hooch and argues that it was a civilizing force—in spite of how uncivilized it can often make people behave. In Proof, Rogers talks with brewmasters, wine experts and distilling wizards; he explains the difference between top-fermenting and bottom-fermenting yeast, and how the entire process of fermentation works at the most granular level; he discusses the importance of “congeners”—chemical constituents that may have something to do with the why tequila makes you crazy and red wine makes you sleepy. The author even performs an experiment on himself and two close friends in an attempt to discover a better cure for the common hangover than the tried and true hair of the dog. God, bless him!

Perhaps most interesting, however, are the questions Rogers is unable to answer.

Scientists can’t agree on what causes hangovers, and they aren’t even sure how it is that alcohol makes us drunk.

Rogers will discuss all this and more in his on-stage discussion at the Zero1 Garage in San Jose’s SoFA district. Copies of his book will be on sale at the event. Following the discussion with Rogers, former editor in chief of The eXile and current PandoDaily journalist Yasha Levine will discuss his research into the massive amount of personal information that is collected on a daily basis by private tech companies around Silicon Valley.— Nick Veronin A hosted cocktail party will follow the discussions.

REVIEW

Girl, Interminable I MUST ADMIT that Belle and Sebastian gave me a pleasurable if inch-deep depression—even the very title of their album Fold Your Hands, Child, You Walk Like a Peasant made me want to sit someplace shadowy and think about things. But the sort-of musical God Help The Girl, written and directed by Stuart “Sebastian” Murdoch evaporated before I could watch it all the way through.

Based (remotely) on how the Scots band formed, it’s the antiadventures of a quartet of idling young Glaswegians. There’s the Australian immigrant, Eve (Emily Browning), with an anorexia problem that’s kept her in and out of institutions. James (Olly Alexander) is an asthmatic lifeguard at a historic swimming pool; he plays a little guitar. The blonde and gorgeous Cassie (Hannah Murray) is a music student. For temptation’s sake there is also a handsome Swiss rocker named Anton (Pierre Boulanger) who plays in a band called Wobbly Legged Rat. As I was saying about Calvary, any small country’s cinema in 2014 is going to be at least partially travelogue—there seems to be a pressure to make these postindustrial spots look as glorious as possible. The solemnness of the battered red bricks and the

gloom of the gloaming are sincere, but they can’t counterpoint God Help the Girl’s dedication to the wistful—not to say “the vapid.”

Has Glasgow has ever looked more like a tourist destination?

James describes the city as “a God Help the Girl Victorian theme park,” but that’s Not rated; 111 min hardly going to Opens Friday discourage visitors.

The movie takes us on hikes into the hills and then hangs on railings, admiring the view below. The film is punctuated by sylvan boating scenes out of Jacques Rivette.

BAND CAMP Olly Alexander, Emily Browning, Hannah Murray star in a sort-of musical loosely based on the founding of Glasgow band Belle and Sebastian.

Murdoch has seen a lot of French New Wave, not to mention that wave’s most successful British devotee, Richard Lester. The wistful tune-lettes in this movie, in their sweet sorrow, and their dedication to fleeting feelings, seem almost impossible to stage as a musical. Murdoch goes cerebral instead of physical. The choreography is like the stiff antidancing that Godard featured in A Woman is A Woman. None of the characters are meant to be more than A, B, C, and D. Thinking over whether she wants to sleep a man, Eve says, “I was preparing to let myself.” I failed to prepare myself to find out if it happened.

‘PERFECT FIT’ Ruckatan’s eclectic music is the result of many disparate pieces falling into place.

Building a Tribe A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, veteran Bay Area musician Carlos Elizalde nearly called it quits. For more than two decades the lead singer of Ruckatan had been playing in local bands—including The Yardies, Mirage, Bautista, Cantera and La Ventana—but he had hit a roadblock that seemed insurmountable.

Elizalde’s cousin was bowing out to go in a different musical direction and Ruckatan was without a guitarist. The prospect of finding a suitable replacement—someone who would be able to seamlessly integrate and contribute to the group’s complex, highly structured style—was daunting. After all, it had taken more than eight years to find the members he was currently playing with.

Ruckatan had become “a melting pot that fused really well together,” Elizalde says of his band’s sound—an eclectic mix of Latin, reggae, pop, rock, soul and world music. “We didn’t dumb it down. If anything, what we did was take it to a level where not only the people that are into jazz and Latin can identify, but regular folks can get [into a] hook from a song.”

C2SV Latin Music Showcase: Ruckatan Chacho’s, San Jose Sep 12, 8pm, Free c2sv.com

Thankfully Carlos Hernandez, a fan of Ruckatan for the better part of a decade, stepped in, declaring he’d wanted to play with the group for years.

With an ear for their sound, Hernandez clicked, and will be rocking out with his bandmates this Saturday at Chacho’s as part of the C2SV Latin Music Showcase.

It would have been a shame if Ruckatan had disbanded. Though this lineup has only technically been together for five years, Ruckatan has been an entire lifetime in the making.

Take the group’s moniker, for starters. The word “Ruckatan” comes from a line in a limerick that Elizalde’s father used to sing to him as a child.

Then there’s the work—as well as the providence—that went into getting all the right people together playing music as Ruckatan.

It was through Craigslist that Elizalde linked up with Blaine Hoopes, a multiinstrumentalist whom he calls “the mad professor.” But it was something almost nearer divine intervention that brought keyboardist Jose Angel Amador to the band. Elizalde happened to hear Amador playing on one of the store’s keyboards and was immediately taken with the power of his style. Elizalde urged Amador to try out for his group. “He was a perfect fit,” Elizalde says.

From there, the pieces slowly fell into place—with each member of Ruckatan’s current seven-man lineup bringing his own unique style to the table.

It’s little wonder Elizalde views the band as more than just a collection of musicians working toward a single goal. To him, Ruckatan is a “tribe.” It’s a notion that extends beyond the band to Ruckatan’s fans, who Elizalde views as possessing the same collective spirit.— Brandon E. Roos

Last year, after I split up with my girlfriend, the law firm I worked for went belly up.

I haven’t been on a date all year. Friends try to set me up, and I keep giving excuses for why I can’t go, but the truth is, I’ve totally lost my nerve. I’d like to change that.

Money isn’t the issue. I work here and there and still have severance pay left. But despite interviewing heavily, I have yet to land a full-time gig and feel kind of like a failure, and I don’t want to discuss that on dates.—Romantic Stage Fright

You lost your girlfriend and were thinking, “At least I have my job.” Then you lost your job and were thinking, “At least I have my confidence.”

Whatever happens, don't say, “At least I have my penis.”

After a series of big setbacks, it’s understandable that you’d feel most comfortable hiding under the bed.

Unfortunately, you won’t get a whole lot of dates there unless you have a tiny tea set and are sexually attracted to mice.

You likewise are unlikely to find your lost nerve under there, perhaps hiding out from creditors. But, like many people, where you go wrong is in thinking that you need to find your nerve to take action. You don’t. You just need to decide that being afraid to do something isn’t a good enough reason to avoid doing it.

Of course, you’ll do better on dates if you don’t arrive feeling like a cow patty in nice shoes. The good news is, you can give yourself a boost pretty easily— without standing in an open field during a storm and hoping to get struck by a bolt of confidence. A growing body of research finds that “walking the walk” (in your case, just making the body movements of the large and in charge) is actually transformative. For example, social psychologist Dana Carney had both men and women pose for just two minutes like fat-cat executives—feet on desk, hands behind head. These simple acts raised their testosterone (the dominance hormone) and made them more willing to take risks (a sign of confidence), and they reported feeling more, well, “Wolf of Wall Street” than “Chihuahua of Skid Row.” In other words, when you have a date, you need to get to the place early and do a little bathroom-stall yoga. Ridiculous as it seems, a little powerbroker-cise should help you feel and act like your peer group is great white sharks instead of small brown smudges. And though your inclination is probably to shove all your negative thoughts about your job loss in some mental drawer, research

by clinical psychologist James J. Gross finds that this tends to backfire, making you feel worse. Instead, try “cognitive reappraisal”—reframing your job loss so it works better for your mojo. This would just take emphasizing to yourself what you already know—that you’re jobless because of others’ bad business decisions and a tough economy, not because your lawyering skills rival those of a plastic fern.

When you’re on the date, don’t worry about selling yourself. We tend to believe we can talk people into liking us, but we’re actually more likely to listen them into it. And by listen, I mean listening from the gut, not just nodding your head while trying to remember whether you left a load of underwear in your apartment building’s washing machine.

Obviously, the easiest way for you to feel better is to start working again, which would give you a sense of purpose. The thing is, you don’t have to wait for somebody to hire you.

Consider donating at least a few hours a week to provide free legal counsel to people in need. I explain in Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck that we can happy ourselves up for, oh, a few weeks or a month by chasing happiness—buying a new car or a new set of boobs—but happiness with staying power comes from pursuing meaning, like by making the world a better place because you’re in it.

Making the world a better place has the side benefit of making it a better place for you to go on dates.

Women look for men to show signs of generosity, and pro bono lawyering stories are way better than hoping she notices that you left a 24.6 percent tip. And ultimately, dates and job interviewers alike should find the natural excitement that comes out of “I’m helping an elderly widow save her home!” far sexier than your current conversation starter: “I like wearing a paper bag over my head and crying myself to sleep; what are your hobbies?”

CREATIVE CONVERGENCE

Silicon Valley’s homegown, rebellious creative spirit will be on full display as bands and speakers take the stages in and around San Jose’s SoFA District for four days.

On Thursday, Adam Rogers will dissect the Science of Booze and Yasha Levine will talk about how the companies we trust stalk and monetize us. Then the music kicks off at South First Billiards (Thursday/Friday), Cafe Stritch (Friday/Saturday) and Chacho’s (Saturday), culminating in a one-day, fully reupholstered street

festival with more than 60 bands curated by Jimmy Arceneaux and Gary Avila.

Crafted by a loosely-knit community of people more interested in building an authentic community than making a buck, every single event is, ridiculously, free. You could pay a lot more for a lot less.

Please crowdsource, selfie and tweet promiscuously at every opportunity to keep the party going. We’ll see you in SoFA.

Last year the Metro C2SV Community Fund (formerly the Metro Foundation) supported more than 30 nonprofits. While all events are free this year, contributions to the community fund or to any of these organizations will be welcomed at C2SV sessions.

Breathing Patterns stack hazy, reverb soaked vocals and squiggly guitar melodies on top of repetitive rhythms, working deliberately toward cathartic peaks, only to descend down into mellow atmospheric valleys.

DARTO

Fresh off their latest release, Hex, the noisy post-rock outfit Darto craft artfully fractured, slow-building, instrumental rock—often interspersed with washed-out spoken word.

spiraling guitars and chugging bass lines, Dinners’ rollicking, compact tunes tumble forward with propulsive energy.

DINNERS

You can hear a rhythm-first approach in the band’s first collection of tunes, demonstration. Simple drum lines lock together with inventive, yet uncomplicated bass playing, while the guitars function as satellites—slowly orbiting around the pulsing center.

Dinners put out their second record, Who is Lee B?, on cassette—an appropriate medium for these fuzzy, lo-fi indie rockers. With drunkenly
