COVER, AUG. 11: “ATTACKED ON CAMPUS”

FAILING SCHOOL BOARD In multiple ways, the school board is failing its responsibility to ensure that learning is being done in a safe school environment: 1) Violent Crimes: Since 2016, there have been at least 20 assault/battery cases. 2) Drugs: Recent grads report that drugs are routinely sold on campus; the dealer is caught and returns to campus selling within a week. 3) Class attendance: The board is failing to enforce the regulation that attendance be taken for every class. 4) Known “supervision-free danger zones”: some students have reported that they are afraid to use the bathrooms because of the drugs and sex, so some students try to wait until they get home. In fact, poor emotional and physical safety in school results in diminished academic performance.

The leadership of the Santa Fe School Board is missing in action when students are forced

NEWS, OCT. 25: “VIGILANCE FOR VACANCIES”

NOT A GOOD IDEA All the money it took to get a teaching certificate and a BFA and licensure, and now people are not needing one? New Mexico is one of the worst states as it is for education why would anyone in government think this is a good idea.

Surely there are other ways to get qualified teachers.

Election Guide Voters weigh local political and education offices, plus decisions on taxes and more B Y E VA N C H A N D L E R , M O C H A R N O T, J U L I E A N N G R I M M e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

ith the Nov. 7 Election Day just around the corner, local voters face a packed ballot.

Santa Fe city residents will fill half the seats on the City Council, elect a new municipal judge, weigh a 3% excise tax on highend home sales and decide on amendments to the city charter. Plus, one seat on the Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education is up for grabs, along with a seat on the Santa

CITY COUNCIL

DISTRICT 1: ȫ Geno Zamora: Zamora has a long background in government, including as chief counsel under former Gov. Bill Richardson and as former Santa Fe city attorney. His campaign talking points include promises to expand alternative response units; recruit high-wage employers and address housing affordability, among other ideas. ȫ Katherine T Rivera: Rivera lives on the same street she grew up on near Rosario Hill. She spent 33 years in operations and product management before returning to Santa Fe and launching her bid for City Council. If elected, she plans to focus on new infrastructure ideas such as visible medians at night; to minimize encampments; and to introduce stronger anti-graffiti efforts.

Fe Community College Board. Voters will also weigh tax questions to benefit entities.

As of press time, the Santa Fe County Clerk’s Office reports 8,832 people have cast ballots, including 6,414 in-person and 2,418 mailed ballots that have been returned.

Voters may take advantage of early in-person voting on weekdays from 11 am to 7 pm through Friday, Nov. 3; and from 10 am to 6 pm, Saturday, Nov. 4. Polling places are open from 7am to 7 pm on Tuesday, Nov. 7.

For locations, visit santafecountynm. gov/clerk/elections See all SFR’s election coverage at sfreporter.com/elections Read on for a summary of candidates’ backgrounds and platforms (appearing in the same order as their names appear on the ballot), as well as details about those long columns of questions.

ȫ Brian Patrick Gutierrez: This election is the second council bid for Gutierrez, owner of a scrap metal recycling buy back center and a former member of the city’s Planning Commission. He says some of the biggest issues Santa Fe faces are open drug use; water resources; infrastructure; and financial responsibility in government. He also wants to restore the obelisk on the Plaza. ȫ Alma Castro: Before taking over as Café Castro’s owner, the Santa Fe native worked as a labor organizer and mariachi instructor in Chicago. Castro recommends investing more heavily in alternative response units; developing housing-first models of wraparound services for those experiencing homelessness; working to create a new water treatment plant and expanding solar programs.

Note: This is the only race in which voters may choose to rank candidates under a 2018 change to balloting. The voting system requires the winning candidate in fields of three or more to receive 50% plus one vote of the total number of ballots cast. If no candidate surpasses that threshold in the first round, the candidate who received the lowest number of first-place rankings is eliminated and voters who cast firstplace ballots for that candidate have

NOVEMBER NOVEMBER1-7, 1-7,2023 2023 • • SFREPORTER.COM SFREPORTER.COM

their votes counted instead for their second choices. The runoff rounds continue until a candidate reaches the 50%-plusone mark.

DISTRICT 4:

DISTRICT 2: ȫ Phillip Allen Lucero: Bike activist and Planning Commissioner Lucero works as a climate educator. In his first campaign for elected office, he says he will work to expand the city’s bikeability; create more services for substance abuse and mental health treatment; and support affordable housing. ȫ Michael J Garcia: Garcia was elected to the seat in 2019 and serves on the Quality of Life Committee and the Public Works and Utilities Committee.

If elected for a second term, he says he will work to create more youth services and opportunities; promote transparency in government; and expand affordable housing in the city.

ȫ Joel M Nava: Nava currently works in security at the New Mexico State Capitol building and coaches youth sports. His campaign for his first attempt at public office includes proposals to create more youth services; ensure accountability in government; and curb crime. ȫ Jamie Alexandra Cassutt: Incumbent Cassutt is a single mom with a master’s degree in public health and an interest in land-use policy. She was one of two councilors to propose a 3% excise tax to support affordable housing also on the ballot. If reelected, Cassutt hopes to expand affordable housing opportunities; to invest in sustainability and educational programs for about the topic; and to improve parks and unsafe roadways.

CITYWIDE MUNICIPAL JUDGE:

DISTRICT 3: ȫ Louis A Carlos: A former city police officer who also briefly served as chief in Española and a current private investigator, Carlos ran for Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education in 2013 but this is his first attempt for City Council. His platform includes what he calls an “aggressive approach to criminal activity”; fiscal responsibility and accountability in government; and a focus on finding solutions to the city’s growing unhoused population. ȫ Pilar F H Faulkner: Faulkner owns her own government relations consultant firm, where she has served clients including Rodeo de Santa Fe and advocates for public banking.

She’s a member of the city Planning Commission. If elected, she wants to focus on increasing the amount of affordable housing in the city; equalizing access to resources for the Southside; and creating more youth services.

ȫ Chad Chittum: A familiar face in the courthouse since 2016, Chittum started out as the city prosecutor before he became the staff attorney for the court in 2019 and the pro tem judge in 2021. During his time as municipal judge, he plans to establish a targeted court for people between the ages of 18 and 25; certify the court’s DWI drug program and more.

HIGH-END HOME EXCISE TAX Sometimes dubbed “the mansion tax,” this proposed amendment to the city charter would impose a 3% fee on the portion of any home purchase within the city limits that exceeds $1 million. Revenue would support the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund. For example, a home priced at $1.2 million would require the buyer to pay $6,000, or 3% of the $200,000 that surpasses the million-dollar threshold.

Political action committees have lined

S FR EPO RTER .CO M / EL ECTI O N S

up for and against the measure. Advocates predict the tax could generate $4.5 million per year based on housing sales data, while detractors have described the tax as “divisive” and questioned how money generated would be spent. The pro-tax PAC United for Affordable Housing has raised over $67,000, while anti-tax PAC the Santa Fe Housing Opportunity Partnership reports $50,000 as of Oct. 10 campaign finance reports filed with the city.

Review Commission to consider changes to the city’s charter, or local constitution. The most recent commission raised concerns about resources the city provided for the job.

As a result, the commission recommended the city add language into the charter to ensure there was a budget and staff “adequate for its functions.”

SANTA FE PUBLIC SCHOOLS BOARD OF EDUCATION DISTRICT 1

PERCENTAGE OF VOTERS FOR PETITIONS The city charter spells out how officials determine the required number of signatures for direct democracy petitions for referenda, initiative and recall using the number of voters who cast ballots for mayor in the last election. This ballot question asks whether, instead, the city should count any voter who cast a ballot in the last election that included the office of mayor—a change that would count, for example, voters who chose city councilors in their districts but didn’t pick a candidate for mayor.

ȫ Carmen Gonzales: Gonzales, a lifelong educator who has taught in elementary school classrooms in Albuquerque and college lectures at New Mexico State University, is running unopposed for re-election, with a campaign focusing on finding solutions to declining enrollment in the district and furthering career and technical education within the public schools.

“mentally, physically and emotionally” healthier learning space in the district since her 2019 election. This year, her focus is on boosting the district’s “reimagining process” created to address declining enrollment, and she hopes to work on keeping students engaged in the public school system from “pre-K to graduation,” chiefly through improving the district’s middle schools.

ȫ Roman “Tiger” Abeyta: Abeyta is unopposed for re-election after being appointed to the board in July of last year. The Capital High graduate and former Santa Fe city councilor who works as executive director of the Santa Fe Community Housing Trust says he wants to involve more community members in the schools, noting strides the district has made with other organizations, such as its recent partnership with Apple Creative to promote digital literacy; digital equity; and coding and creativity.

DISTRICT 2

REDUCING SIGNATURE REQUIREMENTS FOR VOTER INITIATIVE AND REFERENDA This topic will appear as two separate questions on this election season’s ballot.

As recommended by the Charter Review Commission, both would reduce the number of signatures for voter initiatives, or the proposal of new laws, and referenda, or the removal of laws already in place, from 33.3% of voters who participated in the latest mayor’s race to 15%. Las Cruces and Albuquerque have similar requirements.

CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION RESOURCES Every 10 years, the city appoints a Charter

ȫ John T McKenna: McKenna spent 12 years teaching at Catholic high schools in his home state of Massachusetts before he moved to New Mexico in 1997. He taught at St. Pius X High School in Albuquerque for two years and spent another two years substitute teaching at SFPS. McKenna, now a Cerrillos saddlemaker, hopes to make improvements in the school district’s budget if elected. He cites his experience working with Catholic schools he says were run “on a shoestring budget” but boasted high graduation rates. ȫ Sarah Boses: Incumbent Boses is an oncology nurse who says she has applied her medical background to promote a

home and business properties—$2 per each $1,000 of net taxable value each year, the same rate they’re paying now.

SANTA FE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

DISTRICT 4

TAX QUESTIONS

ȫ Patricia Ann Vigil-Stockton: CFO of her family business and a former administrator for Calvary Chapel Christian Academy, Vigil-Stockton says if elected, she aims to improve student outcomes through a higher level of parental involvement in the district and an evaluation system to hold students back a grade if they are not academically proficient. She has been endorsed in the nonpartisan race by the Republican Party of Santa Fe County.

NEWS

TAX, LEVY AND LEASE The school district’s proposed tax, levy and lease purchase would continue to levy a property tax of $1.50 per each $1,000 of taxable property each year from 2024-2029 for the purpose of acquiring up to $55 million worth of technology equipment including network devices, data storage, and digital communications equipment; plus for training and technical support.

GOVERNING BOARD ȫ Lina S Germann: A science educator who founded STEM Santa Fe seven years ago, Germann tells SFR she wants to leverage her experience as a teacher into service on the board. Germann has hosted several math and science-oriented programs with STEM Santa Fe at the college, and she wants to focus on three major categories on the college board: expanding STEM education, postsecondary opportunities and making SFCC a “hub for the community.” ȫ Lorenzo Dominguez : A communications professional who moved to Cerrillos two years ago, Dominguez gained experience in local education by serving on the board at Turquoise Trail Charter School, where he says he had a part in reviving the school’s parent-teacher organization and increasing community engagement through “consistent communication with families.” He says he hopes to support the needs of students, staff and faculty by improving internal communications.

GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND

SCHOOLS IMPROVEMENT ACT TAX Santa Fe Public Schools has imposed a property tax under this state law for a decade, and keeping it in place will allow the district to use tax revenue over the next six years to pay for repairs, maintenance, playgrounds, fields, landscaping and custodial contracts at all the district’s schools. The tax requires property owners to pay based on the value of their

A vote to allow the Santa Fe Community College to bond for $23 million will allow the school to embark on renovation and maintenance such as stucco repairs for some of its spaces, as well as technology upgrades for classrooms, workshops, laboratories and remote learning identified in its 2021 master plan. The amount of the college’s debt service won’t change from current levels if the bonds are issued, and property owners will see a slight decrease in property tax mill rates from 3.501 this year to 3.470.

The school’s last bond issue in 2017 was for $17 million.

Chef Dakota Weiss kicks off her next chapter with multi-concept micro food hall Capital Coal Neighborhood Eatery

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

Yes, Chef

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

n recent weeks, scads of Santa Feans have been flocking to the old Zia Diner on Guadalupe Street for a series of soft pop-up lunches and dinners. The popups have attracted the likes of local food journalists, chefs such as The Kitchen Table’s Andrea Abedi—even George RR Martin has attended once or twice. Some locals remember the spot as the old Café Sonder (a short-lived restaurant from the folks behind the Plaza Café), but to longtimers, it will always be the Zia—or, perhaps, it would have been until chef Dakota Weiss had her way with the place.

The aforementioned flocks have been drawn to the siren call of Weiss’s new multi-concept micro foodhall, Capital Coal Neighborhood Eatery, and the early anecdotal reviews all say the same: Santa Fe might just need the newest restaurant from Weiss and her life/business partner Rich Becker, the same duo behind Santa Fe’s Catch Poke and Albuquerque’s Notorious P.O.K.E., among others.

In one fell swoop, Weiss and Becker are changing how the city thinks about concept restaurants, adding energy to the Guadalupe Street corridor and filling multiple holes in local dining experiences with numerous ideas, all deployed at once. They’re doling it all out in a bright and airy space in the heart of downtown 12

NOVEMBER 1-7, 2023

Chef Dakota Weiss has steadily built something of a food empire in the area.

SFREPORTER.COM

that has sat dormant since the pandemic.

Visitors will now find artworks featuring pop culture icons engaging with food culture, pithy neon signs celebrating pizza or demanding food and, in the back, a sports lounge-esque area with a big screen television. The first indication that things have changed happens just inside the door, where patrons are greeted by a portrait of the late Anthony Bourdain flipping them off.

“But if they don’t get that,” Weiss tells SFR, “maybe they don’t get what we’re trying to do.”

Capital Coal is set to include five main concepts developed in tandem by Weiss and Becker: The French dip-focused Frenchie’s Dips and Tots (of which an Albuquerque location already exists at the Sawmill Market); the spicy fried chicken-based Richie B’s Hot Chicken; the more health-conscious Santa Fe Salad Company; the Korean BBQ-inspired/ Mexican-American fusion of Kimchi’s Korean BBQ; and, for the sweet tooth set, Sweetjars, an enticing dessert entry that finds Weiss strutting her creative stuff for treats served in Mason jars—even if, as she says, she, “capital-H hates doing pastry.”

In addition, Capital Coal will feature various popcorn medlies from Dakota’s Pop Parlor—including a phenomenal melange of peanut butter toffee, mini marshmallows, roasted peanuts and caramelized white chocolate—plus other sweet and savory combos. If all goes well, the restaurant will also offer a charcuterie and Champagne micro-concept, though Weiss says they’ll do the charcuterie with or without the bubbly. Visitors might also notice how mini-boutique The Artisan’s Bottega by local entrepreneur MaryBeth Bartlett takes up a chunk of the lobby, which is honestly kind of fun.

The future remains wide open, however, Weiss says, and it looks promising.

Boutiques and enticing foods aside, it doesn’t hurt that Weiss is a magnetic and impossibly charming presence. Perhaps you know her from her appearance on season 9 of The Food Network’s Top Chef? Or as a judge from the Roku exclusive competition show Morimoto’s Sushi Master?

Maybe you know her as one of the founders behind California-based poke chain Sweetfin, which practically jumpstarted America’s still-burgeoning love of poke (a diced raw fish dish most often served in a bowl with rice and various veggies) when it opened in 2015? Maybe you know her more recently as the former executive chef of restaurateur Quinn Stephenson’s enduringly popular Coyote Café (where Weiss still serves in a consultancy role), or perhaps you’ve wandered into Catch Poke

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

on Marcy Street to sample a bowl, only to find Weiss behind the counter with her electric blue hair, many tattoos and endlessly friendly answers to questions about sauces and fish and rice.

Weiss has been a stalwart presence in food since the mid-’90s. She’s worked for some of the finest chefs on the planet, too—including Bruno Menard, who has three (!!!) Michelin stars—and in kitchens for eateries in Ritz Carlton restaurants in Georgia, Pennsylvania, California, Florida and Shanghai. On her own, she’s an accomplished powerhouse; with Becker in her corner, she’s downright unstoppable.

“And the funny thing is that, as a kid, I was literally the pickiest eater ever,” Weiss tells SFR. “Like, I literally only ate chicken, pasta and hamburgers. That was it. Vegetables were, you know, kind of rough. And even though I ate hamburgers, I wouldn’t eat a steak. Because it was weird.”

This isn’t a statement you’d expect from an influential chef, but then, Weiss’ path hasn’t been particularly traditional.

Some are born with cooking and foodservice in their blood; Weiss had no clue she’d gravitate to kitchens when her family relocated from Southern California to Santa Fe in 1988, just as she was beginning middle school. That’s a terrible time to move since the kids are all cliqued up by that point in their educational careers, Weiss says. She faced violence regularly, too, which certainly didn’t help how little she liked school to begin with.

“I hated sitting in the classrooms,” she says. “I hated quizzes, hated taking tests. The only thing I really liked about school was PE, recess. Oh, and my little elementary school in California had this student-run ice cream shop, and I went bananas running that. It was like having your own little truck, right? It was like hustling selling Fudgesicles. I think that’s maybe where my whole serving people thing comes from.”

After middle school, Weiss attended both St. Michael’s and Santa Fe High Schools. She was booted from both, she says, “because they don’t like it when you don’t show up to class.” By 1992, she followed her older sister to college at Las Cruces’ New Mexico State University.

That didn’t stick, either, however, and she dropped out by ‘94.

“Eventually my mom was like, ‘Get your ass in gear and figure out what the fuck you want to do, because I’m tired of wasting my time and money,’” Weiss says.

“And then…yeah, culinary school was it.”

Weiss briefly considered a career in business for the “kick-ass lady suits,” but first followed a hunch and enrolled in a

I would get there hours before my shift just to see what was happening... if you had croutons on your station, you were baking the bread for those croutons.

-Dakota Weiss

two-year program at the now-defunct Scottsdale Culinary Institute in 1995.

Something clicked—she found her thing.

For the first time ever, classrooms didn’t seem so bad. And homework? Well, it consisted of developing recipes and mastering the classics; eating; and bouncing ideas off her fellow fledgling chefs.

Capital Coal has some loungey seating areas, too. The idea is to keep it casual, even as the food retains the highest quality.

“You know the difference between regular and culinary school?” Weiss queries.

“You’re not sitting there all day.”

Culinary school also taught Weiss to expand her palate beyond boxed mac and cheese and burgers. Once she understood the science and the alchemy, the world of food opened up to her as it never had.

She even tried a steak for the first time.

Following culinary school, Weiss returned briefly to Santa Fe, where she took a kitchen job at Coyote Café. There she’d become friends with Stephenson, an upand-coming busser who today owns that restaurant and Santacafé and is co-owner of Geronimo, but she was ultimately destined for opportunities in distant places.

She made her way to Atlanta’s Ritz Carlton circa 2003, where she worked under Menard.

“I came on as a line cook, and slowly he saw my passion,” Weiss explains. “I would get there hours before my shift started just to see what was happening. And we did everything from scratch—like, if you had croutons on your station, you were baking the bread for those croutons.”

Weiss worked her way up the lad-

der and was sent to work in Ritz Carlton kitchens in Sarasota and Philadelphia.

She even spent time in Shanghai thanks to her Southwestern-style cooking chops.

Eventually, the company called her back to the states to work at the Marina Del Rey Ritz Carlton in Santa Monica, California.

“I first found out about poke there,” Weiss says. “One of the chefs was from Hawaii, and we didn’t put it on the menu, but he’d make it for family meal.”

Then, in 2006, Weiss took over the executive chef job at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood.

“That was a big move, and I don’t know if I was necessarily ready for it,” she says, “but I did it anyway.”

Her first big league job, while stressful and demanding, prepared her for other executive positions at similar hotel eateries, like the Hotel Shangri-La and the W Hotel, both in Los Angeles.

In 2010, she was a contestant on Bravos’ Top Chef.

“When people ask me about that, I’m like…yeah, that’ll haunt you for the rest of your fucking life,” she says.

Still, the show made Weiss a known commodity, which came in handy when she needed partners to start the Sweetfin operation in 2014. Things moved quickly, she says, and the first location opened in Santa Monica in 2015. The company expanded to numerous other locations over the next several years, which is how Weiss met Becker in 2018. He’s the type of studied hospitality guy you see on television shows like The Bear—a sort of stoic figure with training from the legendary Houston’s/Hillstone Restaurant Group, of which Weiss says, “if you see it on the resumé, you don’t need to ask any other questions—you just hire them.”

Becker came to Sweetfin after a position on the team that opened the first Shake Shack restaurants in Los Angeles, and though he and Weiss would eventually become enmeshed in each other’s lives, the first meeting did not go well.

“I had to go in and teach him to cut fish, and he swears I came in and slammed down my knife bag, but I don’t personally recall this situation,” Weiss says with a laugh.

“She had to find something for me to do, so she gave me the kale,” Becker adds.

“The worst job. The crap job.”

Nevertheless, working in close proximity led to flirtation via text and an eventual date initiated by Weiss.

“She was the boss,” Becker says with a sly smile, “so I wasn’t going to ask her.”

They’ve been inseparable since, through Weiss leaving Sweetfin (she officially sold her stake just last year); the move back to New Mexico after her mother received a terminal cancer diagnosis and when Coyote Café owner Stephenson needed a new executive chef in 2021; when Weiss received a breast cancer diagnosis of her own on April 12 that same year, also Becker’s birthday.

“I think that’s what really solidified

that he’s my guy,” Weiss explains. “I got the phone call on his birthday and then I called him, like, ‘Hey, babe, happy birthday. I have cancer.’”

At the time, Weiss had been dabbling in competitive bodybuilding; nothing major, she says, but she’d placed in a competition and had plans for more.

“I got fifth place in my first competition, so I was pretty proud of myself,” she says. “And when [I was] first getting into heavy lifting, I had this really hard class, and afterward I take a shower, and I’m standing naked in the mirror kind of flexing, super sore. I’m feeling around my muscles, but when I get around my boob, I find this lump I don’t remember being there. It kind of just snowballed from there.”

Weiss entered treatment soon after, including chemo, medication and a single mastectomy. Her mother died in early 2022. Today however, Weiss is officially in remission, though it’s something she’ll need to keep an eye on and medicate for years to come.

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

Yes, Chef

Rich Becker has been with Weiss every step of the way since they met in 2018—and his Richie B’s Hot Chicken concept at Capital Coal is no joke.

“But I feel like I’m at the point where I want to give back more, so I volunteer in cancer chemo rooms at Christus St. Vincent and Nexus Health,” she says. “I feel like because I’ve been through the journey, I can just sit there and talk to someone who wants to talk.”

That she can make time at all seems miraculous. Weiss scaled back from her executive chef job at Coyote Café last year, but retains a consultacy position there.

“I think she’s very talented and it was exciting to get her back at the restaurant,” owner Stephenson says of her return. “But she says she wants to start a new place, what can you do but support her? I love working with Dakota, and I know she’ll do well because she’s so talented. I have a huge amount of respect for her palate; I didn’t want to lose the relationship. We’re grateful

to still have her input.”

Becker. meanwhile, tends to the dayto-day with their Albuquerque restaurants, and Catch Poke is now operated under the watchful eye of Weiss-vetted sous chef Giselle Cobos. Capital Coal takes up much of Weiss and Becker’s time these days, or at least it will until they can prove its multiple concepts, get the place running at peak efficiency and, hopefully, get their license to sell beer and wine.

The building in which Capital Coal resides sits 297 feet away from New Mexico School for the Arts—a full 3 feet short of the permitted distance required by state law when it comes to serving booze near schools. Neither Weiss nor Becker believes it will be an issue getting that license, (after all, Café Sonder most definitely served up booze), but it ain’t over

Richie B’s Hot Chicken

until it’s over. Still, the building is rife with history: the restaurant name is a nod to the site of the former Capital Coal yard, which served the trains coming through town. That officially puts it on the National Register of Historic Places, which is interesting enough but makes for challenges, such as not being able to paint a logo on the side of the building. Becker’s looking into hologram and projection tech to work around that, and the space certainly has its quirks, but the bones are there. And no obstacle is too large.

“Y’know, the whole reality is that I went through cancer and fought it, and it changes your outlook on on life,” Weiss says. “Life is short, everybody says that; do what you want, right?

Do what you love. I love fancy food. I love fine dining, y’know, with the tweezers, placing everything perfectly. But there’s a time and a place, and the time is not as often as when you want something simple and fast and familiar. We didn’t know how or when or whatever, but we’re opening. It’s wild.”

“I first had [hot chicken] during my Shake Shack days at Howlin’ Ray’s in LA,” Becker says. “We all loved it, and I was blown away by the spices—twice a week, we’d get it.” Since kicking off the Capital Coal plan, Becker has been tinkering with his own blend of spices, though it’s way more of a Southern thing than a New Mexico spiciness. Straight up? It’s way spicier than you’d expect—WAY—but the subtle sweetness from the brown sugar in Becker’s blend adds such wonderful depth and, frankly, it’s kind of addictive despite the mouth-burnin’. Worth it.

We did not try sides like braised collard greens ($3.50), Southern baked mac ’n’ cheese ($4.50) or sweet potato waffle fries ($4.50), but we did nearly pass out when Becker mentioned he’d like to add chicken and waffles to the menu.

Kimchi’s Korean BBQ

Getting Conceptual Weiss and Becker are set to unleash all of their core concepts at once for the first time this week, though without beer and wine and charcuterie just yet. Here’s the rundown of what’ll be available when Capital Coal hits full power. Do note that the particulars are subject to change, but we’ve yet to sample anything that wasn’t fantastic.

“We kind of based it off the Kogi truck in LA, which is this Korean/Mexican/ American fusion,” Weiss explains. “Roy Choi is an amazing chef, and as much as I’d love to have the table grills and do a traditional Korean BBQ thing, that’s obviously not doable here.”

Even so, Weiss and Becker are culling from well-known and lesser-known Korean ingredients and methods for this one, and you’ll find the fusion-y tacodilla on the menu at just $7.

sort of tot-making apparatus, which sadly doesn’t exist. Still, the loaded tots with queso, bacon and green chile ($8.50) are so delicious, you won’t even care where they came from.

“It’s about the cleanliness of the oil when you cook them,” Weiss advises.

Oh, and those sawndwiches? A revelation. SFR sampled the classic, the hatch green chile and the turkey dips ($16, $16.50 and $16.60 respectively), and each was served on brilliantly soft bread that soaked up the house made aus jus without losing its shape. The turkey dip even comes with a vegetarian au jus bursting with shiitake mushrooms in case you skipped the beef on purpose. Best French dips of all time, full stop.

Santa Fe Salad Company

Weiss and Becker are not out to reinvent the salad wheel, but are instead trying to give people something familiar, done well. SFR sampled a simple mixed salad with cranberries, apples and candied pecans ($13), but Becker says one custom-

Frenchie’s Dips & Tots

“Everybody asks [if we make our own tater tots], and I wonder when have you ever had handmade tots?”

Weiss notes, adding that such a time consuming endeavor would require some

er described the Caesar with anchovy tapenade and a parmesan black pepper vinaigrette as, “the best they ever had.”

In the case of the mixed, the greens were fresh, the pecans were a delight and the cranberries offered a chewy little counterpoint to the crisp of the apple. That apple balsamic vinaigrette dressing was also quite flavorful and refreshing.

Sweetjars

Listen very carefully, because if the first item SFR sampled from Capital Coal’s Sweetjars is any indication, there’s basically nothing we wouldn’t do to get more. We tried one with a trio of mousses consisting of white chocolate, lemon and a borderline whipped and creamy orange-flavored layer; a s’mores variety with marshmallow fluff, creamy chocolate and graham cracker crumbles; and a key lime tres leches number that looked gorgeous and wowed with a flavorful and citrusy tartness. Though simple, these might be some of the most beautiful and delicious desserts we’ve ever tasted, and each was well worth the $6 price point—you also get to keep the jar!

Champagne & Charcuterie Bar

It’s just what it sounds like, and both Weiss and Becker say they’ll still pursue charcuterie in the unlikely event they don’t get that liquor license.

They’re out to keep it upscale, too, though haven’t announced the particulars of what will comprise their boards.

Richie B’s Hot Chicken comes with a side of cayenne and lemon aioli, and even if it hurts you bad, you’re gonna keep eating.

HERE AND THERE Five or six years back, photographer Paul Shapiro and his wife decided to split time between Santa Fe and Whidbey Island north of Seattle, Washington. As climes go, the areas are as different as they come, which struck Shapiro, an accomplished photographer, with seemingly endless inspiration. Shapiro kicks off his first-ever local show of large-scale photo prints this week at Downtown Subscription. With something like 40 shots on display showcasing the disparate majesty of his two hometowns, Shapiro captures 180 degree views of forests, beaches, wildlife and even mankind. Often, the subjects occupy only the smallest section of Shapiro’s photos, leading the viewer to spend time surveying the contents of an image while searching for its focus. “I pay particular attention to scale, capturing the shared connection between people and the breadth and depth of our landscapes,” Shapiro writes. “I...strive to capture the powerful, expansive and multi-layered beauty of landscapes and juxtapose these images with the awe-inspiring—often solo—experience of being alone on the midst of something much larger.” (ADV) Photographs by Paul Shapiro: 7 am-4 pm Thursday, Nov. 2 through Thursday, Nov. 30. Free Downtown Subscription, 376 Garcia St., (505) 983-3085

COURTESY OF MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO FOUNDATION

PERFORMANCE SUN/5 THE MAIDEN/THE HERON The Museum of International Folk Art has really been dropping fire when it comes to its Japanese offerings. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve certainly seen the Yokai exhibit on demon lore, for example. Or, if theater is a little more your thing, you’ll be delighted to learn kabuki master Nakamura Gankyō (AKA Kirk Kanesaka) will perform and demonstrate the art with the upcoming Gidayū Sagi Musume—or Gidayū “The Heron Maiden.” The tale of a heron jilted by its mate who transforms into a young bride, the piece projects a certain sadness, sure, but also one of endurance, changing seasons and hope. This particular piece—one of four from the collection known as The Popular Celebrations of the Four Seasons—dates back to 1809, too, so you know it has staying power. Aptly, it’s all about winter, but also a reminder that spring will undoubtedly arrive. (ADV) Gidayū Sagi Musume/Gidayū “The Heron Maiden” with Nakamura Gankyō: 1 pm-3 pm Sunday, Nov. 5. Free with admission ($0-$12). Museum of International Folk Art, 706 Camino Lejo (505) 476-1204

COURTESY MEHRDAD MIRZAIE

ART OPENING TUES/7-FRI/17 THINK AGAIN You’ll need to move quickly if you’d like to catch Strata Gallery’s first-ever Emerging Member solo exhibit from Phoenix, Arizona-based Iranian artist Mehrdad Mirzaie—the entire run is only 10 days. But it’s so worth it. The new program from Strata aims to create a cohort across a number of solo shows from emerging artists, and Mirzaie as the kicker-offer feels auspicious. A multimedia master, Mirzaie’s current works converge at the intersection of culture, history and politics and across a wide range of archival images. By reevaluating and re-contextualizing the content of images long past, Mirzaie considers new emotions given the passage of time in a quest to find “honest narration.” This comes with a healthy dash of scrutiny, of course, and also the gift of hindsight. Who knows what new ideas might arise? (ADV) Mehrdad Mirzaie: Imago: 11 am-5 pm, Tues-Sat beginning Nov. 7; closing reception 5 pm, Friday, Nov. 17. Free Strata Gallery, 125 Lincoln Ave., (505) 780-5403

PAUL SHAPIRO

ART OPENING THU/2-THU/30

ART OPENING FRI/3

This is America Artist André Ramos-Woodard re-appropriates pop culture iconography on the road to deconstruction and reconciliation Once Houston, Texas-based multimedia artist André Ramos-Woodard was accepted into a graduate program for photography at the University of New Mexico in late 2019, he realized he hadn’t quite worked out his thesis idea.

“I’ve always been an artist who explores my identity in my work,” he tells SFR, “I like to draw, I’m a photographer, so I knew I wanted to combine those things into one and I knew I wanted to make work about Black history.”

And though Ramos-Woodard set out to create something celebratory, his early forays into Black representation in mediums such as cartoons, films and comic books cemented a rather insidious truth—a deep vein of anti-Blackness and racism has run through art and popular culture for nearly as long as either has existed, and it’s something with which consumers will need to contend.

“I didn’t really notice it growing up, but with the cartoons I was watching, for example, there are inevitably traces [of racism and anti-Blackness] ,” he continues. “Mickey Mouse has white gloves, which have connections to minstrelsy. It actually wasn’t difficult for me to Google ‘Black cartoon characters’ and find minstrelsy—these things are ingrained into contemporary pop culture and cartoons.”

In Ramos-Woodard’s forthcoming exhibit BLACK SNAFU (Situation Niggas: All Fucked Up), the artist delves into the long-held notions of racism inherent in nearly every corner of the entertainment we consume, particularly mainstream media. A continuation of his college thesis (Ramos-Woodard wrapped up his master’s in studio art in 2021), the show comes to Foto Forum Santa Fe this week across a wide range of edited, built up, torn-down, de- and reconstructed and otherwise altered images, photos, illustrations and more. Throughout the dozen or so pieces, Ramos-Woodard crafts a juxtaposition between so-called heroes like

Walt Disney and the shockingly obtuse imagery he not only championed, but infused into the broader comic book and cartoon lexicons.

“I think it’s really about recognizing the various symbols ingrained into our culture,” Ramos-Woodard explains. “White gloves, again, for example...are not just about ’40s, ’50s, ’60s cartoons, they’re a specific and direct connection to vaudeville minstrelsy in which blackface performers—white people— wore white gloves and became the interlocutors of culture. Everything I’ve uncovered...it hasn’t been borderline racist, it’s just racist; but it wasn’t even racist to [the creators]—it was just Black people to them.”

Of course, facing these hard truths and working toward some form of reconciliation isn’t the type of thing that will happen overnight, but Ramos-Woodard says he’s noticed a bevy of popular cartoons and comics embracing better forms of representation. For his own part, he also injects imagery into his work from more positive representations of Black folks in pop culture, such as characters from shows like The Proud Family or The Boondocks. A show like BLACK SNAFU isn’t about finalizing the conversation, anyway, it’s a chance to continue talking, and a way to face the truth.

“I’m all about power to the people, and I think there’s a path to reconciling—and part of it is recognizing the various styles of racism,” Ramos-Woodard explains. “There are a lot of artists out there, and they can do it without the white gloves and the exaggerated lips.”

Ramos-Woodard will also host an artist talk at the show’s opening this Friday evening.

COURTESY JANNA LOPEZ

With Poet Janna Lopez

Though she’s only called Santa Fe home for three years, poet and former magazine publisher Janna Lopez has already claimed the city’s Poet Laureate Ambassador position—a sort of liminal appointing that’ll tackle some of the big job’s duties until a new one is named in January. Lopez has also hit the ground running with various writing workshops and the Postal Poetry project, whereby anyone might email her a theme on which she’ll base a poem and then send it to the recipient of their choice—for free. Lopez also begins a new series of weekly creative writing workshops this month (6 pm-8 pm Tuesday, Nov. 7.

Free. Iconik Red, 1366 Cerrillos Road, (505) 428-0996), all in the name of making poetry more accessible and palatable. You can learn more at janna-lopez.com, or you can simply read these-here Qs. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. (Alex De Vore) Before we go any further, what exactly is a poet laureate ambassador? What would you like to accomplish in the role?

I would like to meet people where they are and open up poetry as something that is surprisingly inspirational and exceptional and inclusive. I’m working in four areas: community outreach; educational outreach; tourism and hospitality outreach; and organizational outreach. I’m working on all four silos at all times. Today, I did a sixth grade workshop on poetry at Acequia Madre Elementary, and it was wonderful.

Tomorrow I’m doing a training with [nonprofit] Gerard’s House for grieving children to help their staff with welcoming people through poetry and helping them engage with grief…in a meaningful way.

What can you tell us about your Postal Poetry project, and how do people get involved?

Since my whole thing is about meeting people where they are, and I feel like writing letters in general is a lost art form, I’m using an art form as a way to transfer connection, and that feels very powerful to me. I think

24

NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 1-7, 1-7, 2023 2023 •• SFREPORTER.COM SFREPORTER.COM

about the people who are shut in, sick, in grief or alone, and for them to get a piece of mail that has been custom crafted—to make a true connection? Meeting them where they are feels so wonderful and potent.

All they have to do is email me their address, their name and a theme that they want [to janna@jannalopez.com].

The first one I got, I was given ‘Vesuvius and Pompeii,’ for a theme, and I wrote this really cool poem. The themes have been interesting. The idea, too, is that I want to compile all the poems I create for everyone in the community and make it a free downloadable PDF. It’s all free—I’m just here to serve. I want people to be open to poetry, I don’t want them to think it’s all just old, dead white men.

Speaking of which, in our earliest correspondence, you said that ‘poetry has been on a pedestal too long.’ Can you expand on that thought?

I think the ways poetry has been historically taught have been a very institutionalized, educationally related endeavor, and people don’t see themselves in a lot of poetry that has typically been offered in a classroom setting. So they get turned off. And I’m the same way! I didn’t get into poetry until my 50s. But again, you meet people where they are and offer interesting poets, different poets, so they can see themselves a little bit and put their arms around it. You can fit your arms around it if you kick it off the pedestal. Poetry is hard enough, it’s diversionary enough, it’s separatist enough, elitist enough. But really that’s only, like, maybe 10% of the poetry that actually exists. When you read that one poem that says all the words to the feelings you can’t name, all of a sudden it feels so alive.

I think we want to express, we want to explore, we want to create, we want to be curious, and if we can get out of our own heads and judgements and creations about what it’s supposed to be, there’s a whole new realm. I worked with the kindergartners at Acequia Madre, and there was a kid in the class who said. ‘I’ve never been able to write well.’ That’s a seedling opportunity. She could probably carry that belief with her for the next 50 years, and trust me—I work with people like that all the time, with nightmares of red pens, teachers, opinions and people telling them how it’s supposed to be. When you poke your little tender head out of the sand, it doesn’t take but one footstep to shove you back for life. But I want to be elevating the nature of poetry as a cultural art form in Santa Fe. We’re known for visual art, contemporary art...my intention would be to raise and elevate the national recognition of Santa Fe’s capacity to inspire poetry. I want poetry in the conversation about art in Santa Fe straight up at the top.

A Better, Happier Boxcar The former Railyard bar/ restaurant/venue makes downtown feel like downtown again

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

S

anta Fe was once a place where 20-somethings could hit downtown and have one hell of a night of carousing and entertainment. Sure, stalwart watering holes like the Cowgirl, The Matador, Evangelo’s and other places I’m probably forgetting are keeping it 100, but there’s no denying an older clientele now frequents many of these locales and fewer non-blues rock/cover acts are appearing. Losses including Skylight, Corazón, Swig (or was it Stats?) and The Paramount/Bar B (yes, I’m dating myself here!) still kind of sting, not least of which because some of those places hosted amazing touring bands.

Hear ye, hear ye: This is a celebratory piece. I totally feel like spending time downtown again for the first time in a long time, and it has a lot to do with Boxcar.

With its move from the Railyard to the second-story Water Street location that once housed Blue Corn Café, Boxcar is bringing back a little bit of the old latenight razzle-dazzle to the streets near the Plaza, and owners Tate Mruz and Sylwia Handzel had the opportunity to build it the way they wanted from the ground up. How’d that pan out, you ask? Quite well.

The new space is a real beaut.

Its hub-like bar wraps around much of the central interior and numerous rooms (or spokes, as Mruz refers to them) jut out from there into the massive business, creating disparate experiences. Want to catch a show or sing some karaoke?

Boxcar has a lineup including DJs and performers several nights a week (shoutout to DJs Dmonic and Sol), plus regular karaoke nights on Wednesdays and Sundays. Want to watch the big game?

There’s a room for that, too. Want to sit on

SFREPORTER.COM / FOOD

the patio when the weather allows? Also doable.

Personally, the experience I desired when I entered the other night was strictly food-based. People have been surprised when I tell them I’ve found killer meals at Boxcar, but I’ve always rather liked it. Any disparaging remarks probably have something to do with its sports bar status or the expectations that it’s all jalapeño poppers and wings. Yes, Boxcar does wings and fried things while sports enthusiasts shout at televisions, but it has always been a restaurant, too, with a more expansive menu than most bars of its ilk can muster. This is no Buffalo Wild Wings, even if it contains the bones of one. Diners can order a dry-aged steak; a pot de creme; a shrimp Alfredo. Tempura avocado and tacos are on the menu (and, yes, they do specials for Taco Tuesday), too. In other words, it’s better than you thought, so maybe stop being a snob?

My companion required no convincing to tag along, as we both recall decent meals at the old location. We found the food at the new spot was of similar quality to Boxcar’s previous incarnation. The service, however, has improved greatly. I loved our server— she never hovered, but we never languished in obscurity, either. I tend to make dumb jokes at servers, and she handled that with grace as she dropped our starter of chips and guac. In Santa Fe, serving a good guac is practically a must. If you don’t do it well, I’ll find someone who will. At Boxcar, they’ve got the goods, both in terms of the whisper of spicy green chile hidden inside to the warm and wafer-thin crisp of the chips— and it was only $6. The portion was also just right. Guac and chips is an amuse, dammit, and I don’t want to be stuffed with corn by

Chicken and waffles, we love you!

FOOD

Boxcar—you know they have food because of that big old sign that says “Food!”

the time my main dish arrives.

Amused we were when the entrees appeared. My companion selected the green chile cheeseburger ($16), a classic and ever-reliable comfort food. Seeking similar succor, I immediately chose the chicken and waffles ($18), for long have I bemoaned this town’s lack of a Waffle House—and imagine my dismay when Loyal Hound closed earlier this year and removed my go-to option for this dish.

The burger received an excellent report, especially the bun, which remained intact throughout the meal and added a bit of sweetness in contrast to the chile.

Plus, the sweet potato fries on the side deftly sidestepped sogginess.

The chicken and waffles, meanwhile, were also a delight, especially with the included real maple syrup. The clincher, however, was the red chile butter that I crammed into every last indentation of the waffles. I wondered aloud where this spicy

little bit of dairy heaven has been all my life, and why I’ve not seen it on any other menu in town. It was no matter, though, and I carpe’d that diem.

And there’s still plenty left we didn’t see.

One room contained a case for grabbing quick bites and drinks to-go, and another housed a meeting between board game nerds.

If Boxcar’s new spot signifies downtown’s return to form with locals in mind, consider me onboard. If nothing else, I’ll be composing poetry to that red chile butter until I can get the chicken and waffles again.

RATINGS BEST MOVIE EVER

Anatomy of a Fall Review Justine Triet revitalizes the courtroom drama

10

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

9

French filmmaker Justine Triet (Sybil) surely had a hell of a time packing so much dialogue into her new film Anatomy of a Fall, but audiences patient enough to make their way through its innumerably subtle deconstructions of family life, marriage, parenthood and creative commerce will find more than enough reasons to stay glued to that screen.

In Triet’s newest, Sandra Hüller (I’m Your Man) plays accomplished writer Sandra, who winds up on trial for the murder of her husband Samuel (Samuel Theis). Perhaps he fell from the tallest level of their in-progress chalet-style home. Perhaps Sandra bashed his head in and shoved him over the railing.

The evidence is compelling either way, but the more personal information that comes to light during the trial, the less viewers can be sure about.

Hüller dominates the film across a variety of existential archetypal modalities, from the creator to the mother to the woman who can and should exist outside the confines of her relationships with her husband and child. If she’s warm, she’s mourning wrong; if she’s even-keeled, she’s a cold bitch; if she cries, she’s too emotional. All the while, luminous performances from Swann Arlaud as a defense attorney; Antoine Reinartz as a prosecutor; and, in flashbacks, Thiel as

+ GLADSTONE; LONG BUT NEVER BORING - STILL PRETTY FOCUSED ON WHITE DUDES

Earlier this year, lauded director Martin Scorsese revealed to Time that he’d chosen to rewrite an earlier draft of a screenplay he’d begun for Killers of the Flower Moon, which is based on the 2017 nonfiction book of the same name by David Grann.

“After a certain point, I realized I was making a movie about all the white guys,” Scorsese told the magazine, doubling down on the idea that he’d listened to feedback from the Osage people on whose land the film was made and around whom much of the story revolves. If that’s the case, however, one wonders how much whiter his original script was, as Scorsese’s newest film with longtime collaborators Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro still feels pretty dang white.

From a bird’s eye view, Killers tells the tale of the 1920s Oklahoma oil boom on Native land that led to a series of heinous murders and, in turn, the formation of the FBI. Here, DiCaprio plays World War I vet Ernest Burkhart, a sort of dimwitted would-be proto-gangster who heads to Oklahoma to live and work with his uncle William (De Niro), a rancher kingpin who tips the scales of commerce in his favor through any means necessary. DiCaprio turns in one of the more nuanced performances of his career as the unscrupulous Ernest, and De Niro’s inwardly cold, outwardly loving demeanor feels terrifying.

As was the order of the day, Ernest weds a local Osage woman named Mollie Kyle (a brilliant 28

the put-upon husband further illustrate the challenging nature of any sort of relationship. Anatomy cuts to the bone repeatedly, especially when exchanges thought private or personal explode into the public domain of a courtroom. Even then, gasp-worthy revelations pale in comparison to ways the mundanity of continued existence seem to mute our joys and passions: a marital argument that might have been instigated for the sake of plumbing book-worthy content; a harsh word about stolen time; how we can wind up in traps we built ourselves, even if we didn’t realize we were building them.

Of particular note is young Milo Machado Graner’s performance as Sandra and Samuel’s son Daniel. As emotive as any of his more studied onscreen peers, Graner grounds the absurdity of adult interpersonal strife through the perspective of a child—kids always seem to know what’s fair or not, which is a tough row

yet underused Lily Gladstone, Siksikaitsitapi and NiMíiPuu) as part of his uncle’s bid to access the oil money heading to her and her people. Whether Ernest truly loves Mollie or not becomes irrelevant, however, the longer he remains accessory to the murders befalling her family and people. But when Mollie heads to Washington, DC, to beg the president for aid, so begins the earliest days of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which comes knocking at Ernest’s door in the form of Breaking Bad alum Jesse Plemons. The rest is pretty typical Scorsese fare, from the anachronistic music that flares in the background of some scenes to the authentic yet not gratuitous violence.

Mollie Kyle’s attempts to get answers for her peoples’ murders are central to the Killers’ plot. Pity, then, that Gladstone’s role is so relegated to reactionary or plot device beats. She’s a natural, from her mournful wail in the face of tragedy to her sly expressions that say so much. She more than keeps up with the titanic De Niro and DiCaprio, even if they have about a zillion more lines than her. It’s still nice to see a legend like Tantoo Cardinal playing even a small role; the Indigenous actors who permeate the film are all fine actors across the board—particularly Yancey Red Corn, whose gravitas is palpable.

Killers sort of fizzles out toward the end. Some sturdy but anemic performances from the likes of John Lithgow and Brendan Fraser work out OK, but not a one rates as much attention as the core cast. Leo will likely win an Oscar for this one, and Gladstone will surely at least be nominated. If nothing else, though, this is another one of those “representation matters” moments in recent film and TV

to hoe for the powerless. Arlaud wows as well, though his character can’t seem to bring himself to ask his client outright what might have really happened with her husband’s death. Against Reinartz’ chilly but capable prosecutor, sparks fly.

When all is said and done, Anatomy is actually a film about how we process our failures, or even our fear of success. Sadly, we tend to aim that shit outward. Whether or not Samuel’s death was a murder becomes immaterial when weighed against the myriad little blows the characters bestow upon each other.

Knowing people is perhaps as hard a thing as there is.

DUMB MONEY

+ FUN AND FUNNY; FASCINATING, BOTH

SOCIALLY AND FINANCIALLY SPEAKING

- PETE DAVIDSON IS TEDIOUS

Orange is the New Black writers Laura Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo team with The Social Network co-scribe Ben Mezrich and I, Tonya director Craig Gillespie for Dumb Money, an almost spiritual successor to Adam McKay’s 2015 finance flick The Big Short, only with more recent touchstones and a far more satisfying conclusion.

Viewers should probably brush up on concepts like short selling and short squeezes to fully appreciate what this one’s laying down—or at least know that billionaires, at one point in time, referred to amateur traders as “dumb money,”—but even those not well-versed in market politics will find an enjoyable small-beats-big parable.

Dumb Money tells the real-life story of Keith Gill, aka Roaring Kitty, a one-time financial analyst and social media personality who, in 2021, single-handedly drove up furor surrounding stocks for video game retailer GameStop, which resulted in a massive uptick that ruined at least one hedge fund, exposed investment app Robinhood for scummy business

practices and terrified the rest of Wall Street. And though some might balk at the idea of a film dedicated to GameStop and money, it’s honestly fascinating to better understand how things shook out.

The illustriously weird Paul Dano plays Gill with a kind face and gentle delivery that bely his character’s internet persona, but weirdly sell his performance as trustworthy and true. Dano makes Gill lovable, even as his onscreen brother (Pete Davidson) sucks all the air out of the room with ball-busting pseudo humor.

Shailene Woodley appears as Gill’s wife, though, sadly, she has little to do outside of a brief moment of spousal tension.

Elsewhere, a series of interconnected vignettes focused on real-world billionaires like Gabe Plotkin (Seth Rogen), Ken Griffin (Nick Offerman) and Steve Cohen (Vincent D’Onofrio) intermesh with those of new GameStop investors—including an RN (America Ferrera), a collegiate couple (Myha’la Herrold and Talia Ryder) and a GameStop employee (Anthony Ramos of Hamilton fame)—plus the founder-CEOs of Robinhood (Sebastian Stan and Rushi Kota). These sections might be the most fun, particularly when we see the folks from Robinhood stumble in interviews or hem and haw their way through what happened the day they wouldn’t let anyone buy GameStop stocks (not super legal; nothing came of it, sadly).

The whole GameStop debacle went before a Congressional committee in the end. And though nobody went to jail and the billionaires mainly just re-structured, the film tells us in a text scroll that the big bad finance bros and babes on Wall Street finally had to take amateur traders seriously.

MIND BODY SPIRIT PSYCHICS

Rob Brezsny

Week of November 1st

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Our bodies sometimes serve as the symbolic ground where order and disorder fight for supremacy,” writes storyteller Caroline Kettlewell. Here’s good news, Aries: For you, order will triumph over disorder in the coming weeks. In part through your willpower and in part through life’s grace, you will tame the forces of chaos and enjoy a phase when most everything makes sense. I don’t mean you will have zero problems, but I suspect you will have an enhanced power to solve problems. Your mind and heart will coordinate their efforts with exceptional flair.

literature. On the other hand, I’m barely interested in Milton’s story, which includes boring conversations between God and Satan and the dreary tale of how God cruelly exiled humans from paradise because the first man, Adam, was mildly rebellious. So what should I do? I’ve decided to read the Cliffs Notes study guide about Paradise Lost, a brief summary of the story. In accordance with astrological omens, I suggest you call on similar shortcuts, Libra. Here’s your motto: if you can’t do the completely right thing, try the partially right thing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I recently endured a threehour root canal. Terrible and unfortunate, right? No! Because it brought profound joy. The endodontist gave me nitrous oxide, and the resulting euphoria unleashed a wild epiphany. For the duration of the surgery, I had vivid visions of all the people in my life who love me. I felt their care. I was overwhelmed with the kindness they felt for me. Never before had I been blessed with such a blissful gift. Now, in accordance with your astrological omens, I invite you to induce a similar experience—no nitrous oxide needed. It’s a perfect time to meditate on how well you are appreciated and needed and cherished.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Who would have guessed that elephants can play the drums really well? On a trip to Thailand, Scorpio musician Dave Soldier discovered that if given sticks and drums, some elephants kept a steadier beat than humans. A few were so talented that Soldier recorded their rhythms and played them for a music critic who couldn’t tell they were created by animals. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that you Scorpios seek out comparable amazements. You now have the potential to make unprecedented discoveries.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian novelist Shirley Jackson wrote, “No live organism can continue for long to exist under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids dream.” Since she wrote that, scientists have gathered evidence that almost all animals dream and that dreaming originated at least 300 million years ago.

With that as our inspiration and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to enjoy an intense period of tapping into your dreams. To do so will help you escape from absolute reality. It will also improve your physical and mental health and give you unexpected clues about how to solve problems.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Unless you are very unusual, you don’t sew your clothes or grow your food. You didn’t build your house, make your furniture, or forge your cooking utensils. Like most of us, you know little about how water and electricity arrive for your use. Do you have any notion of what your grandparents were doing when they were your age? Have you said a prayer of gratitude recently for the people who have given you so much? I don’t mean to put you on the spot with my questions, Gemini. I’m merely hoping to inspire you to get into closer connection with everything that nourishes and sustains you. Honor the CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn writer Kahlil sources of your energy. Pay homage to your foundations.

Gibran believed an essential human longing is to be CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian singer-songwriter revealed. We all want the light in us to be taken out of its Suzanne Vega has had a modest but sustained career. With hiding place and shown. If his idea is true about you, you nine albums, she has sold over three million records, but is will experience major cascades of gratification in the not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She has said, “I always coming months. I believe you will be extra expressive. And thought that if I were popular, I must be doing something you will encounter more people than ever before who are wrong.” I interpret that to mean she has sought to remain interested in knowing what you have to express.

But here’s the good news for you in the harbor any fears or inhibitions about being revealed—and coming months, fellow Cancerian: You can be more dissolve them. appreciated than ever before simply by being true to your AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): November is Build Up Your soul’s inclinations and urges.

Fabio Massimo Macchioni, passed away August 1st, 2023.

He was 80 years old and still living comfortably. Fabio was often seen on the plaza or railyard dancing to live music. He loved the atmosphere, the people, the music, but mostly: he loved to dance. Fabio was a man of many talents. Often referred to as a renaissance man, he was well known for his photography, his food, his woodwork, his astrology, and most importantly, his dreams. Born in 1942, in Florence, Italy, Fabio studied engineering before dropping out and studying photography. He worked as an apprentice to some of the best photographers Italy had to offer before moving to New York city in 1969 to continue his work. In addition to photography, he also began exploring carpentry in the form of making unique lofts. In 1972, Fabio moved home to “his love” Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Here, Fabio would open several restaurants, Fabios pizza and Fabios seafood and grill. He was well known around town for his delicious seafood, pizza, and gnocchi. Later on, Fabio even decided to make his own frozen gnocchi company, selling the packaged delicacies at local grocery stores.

Throughout these years he raised two children, Sebastian and Isabella Macchioni, and tried many things. He went porcini hunting in the Santa Fe mountains. He studied astrology and did some research on the science behind astrological charts. He made beautiful Southwestern mirrors and wood fire pizza ovens. He continued his passion for photography and even had a showing in an art gallery on Canyon Road.

Finally, in 2005, he began research on the language of dreams, his true, deepest passion. Although he had been fascinated by dreams and astrology all his life, it wasn’t until 2005 that he was able to devote all his time to this work.

His research started with the

premise that, “The language of dreams is based on logic, and therefore it can be studied, learned, understood, and most importantly; taught.” He was very adamant about expressing his love for dreams and the need for dreams exclaiming, “[they] are messages from our inner divine”. Fabio believed he had found a way to not only translate dreams but to understand them.

He devoted the last twenty years to his research and studies where he eventually compiled enough dreams to create a book. He titled this, “Dreammaunal”. His hope was that one day his book would be in every household, on every bedside table, translated in every language and published worldwide.

Fabio is survived by his two beautiful children Isabella and Sebastian Macchioni, as well as his brother Marco. His children are working adamantly to publish his book online for all to see. The book will likely be under the web domain “www.dreammanual. com” and is expected to be up and running sometime next year.

Sebastian and Isabella would like to formally apologize to the people of Santa Fe for the delay in writing and publishing his obituary. It has been a very difficult time dealing with his passing. Furthermore, his family has already held private events and service’s to celebrate and commemorate his life and legacy.

Although there are currently no plans for a public service, you may reach out via email at Thedreammanual@gmail.com.
