FOOD, JAN. 22: “HAPPY NEW YEAR”

SOME CIRCUMSTANCES Your reviewer gave Lulu’s Chinese Cuisine & Bar a terrible review last week and rightly so, based on the service (or lack thereof) and the food.

Readers should know, however, that the restaurant’s owner, Lulu Lee, suffered severe injuries in an accident toward the end of last year and has not been able to get to the restaurant, and spend the usual day and evening there, much since. Lulu lives in Albuquerque and is not able to make that daily commute. Had she been there, the entire experience would have been different, from the service to the food; Lulu commands and oversees every aspect of her restaurant... when she is on hand. One hopes she will heal and be back on the job full time soon.

Disorder Supports and Services.

In 2019, New Mexico passed landmark legislation for autism insurance coverage.

Now the state can complete the puzzle and support efforts underway for Autism Disorder programs by passing [HB 55], sponsored by Rep. Elizabeth “Liz” Thomson and Rep. Joanne J. Ferrary.

For New Mexicans, [HB 55] appropriates $2.5 million from the general fund for the purpose of expanding services available in New Mexico for children, adults and families affected by autism spectrum disorders.

The appropriation will allow [New Mexico State University] to create a regional autism office and enable crucial programs for youth and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Additionally, the appropriation will allow the University of New Mexico’s Center for Development and Disability to develop services for adults with ASD, fund autism evaluations for children, will also establish an ASD registry and be used for research into ASD at UNM. The appropriation going to the Children Youth and Families (CYFD) will develop wraparound services for children with ASD with “high acuity of need” and provide funding to UNM for development of model services for individuals with “high acuity of need” ASD requiring inpatient hospitalizations, residential or group home services.

New Mexico can Elevate the Spectrum in 2020 with ASD Supports and Services Legislation.

S-B OLL AN SO N STE VEN

According to the National Women’s Law Center, 13 states have either limited or completely prohibited employers from forcing employees to sign nondisclosure agreements to be hired or as part of a settlement agreement. As legislative sessions began around the country at the end of 2019 and early 2020, 300 lawmakers in 40 different states and Washington, DC said they want to continue to increase protections for survivors of sexual misconduct in the workplace.

“A lot of people who are victims of this type of behavior usually lose their jobs because they’re subject to a hostile work environment,” Hochman-Vigil tells SFR. “Settling these types of cases becomes their only means of survival, and so opposing parties will sometimes leverage that need with their request for silence with regards to the factual allegations surrounding the case.”

Her bill leaves just one avenue to require a nondisclosure agreement in the settlement of a case: The plaintiff must specifically agree to seal information, whether that’s the amount of money agreed to or details that could identify them if made public.

“I think that we’re finally starting to see the acknowledgment that this type

N

ondisclosure agreements in workplace sexual harassment and assault cases could be a thing of the past if House Bill 21 passes this legislative session.

Rep. Dayan Hochman-Vigil, D-Albuquerque, leads the fight for the legislation. HB 21 would write into law actual protections for employees making claims of sexual harassment or assault— an employer could no longer force an employee to sign a nondisclosure agreement as a condition of employment.

Hochman-Vigil tells SFR the legislation is meant to “address the issue of catch-and-kill settlement agreements.”

“We’ve seen a lot of high profile stories with regards to Harvey Weinstein, The National Enquirer, basically utilizing settlement agreements and non-disclosure clauses as a means of silencing victims of sexual harassment, especially in an employment context,” HochmanVigil tells SFR at the Roundhouse.

Nondisclosure clauses in sexual misconduct settlements are dangerously effective in keeping accusations under wraps, allowing predators to continue with only a few people knowing the facts of the allegations.

Hochman-Vigil partnered with several trial lawyers from around New Mexico, as well as a University of New Mexico law student, to craft the bill. The first-term legislator says they brought the bill to her because she is also a practicing lawyer.

The bill lands in New Mexico against the backdrop of the #MeToo movement, which sparked a national conversation around how to handle sexual harassment and assault in the workplace in 2017.

NEWS

of behavior is not OK,” Hochman-Vigil says. “It’s never been OK and it needs to be addressed and rectified. We have to start holding people accountable for imbalances of power.”

The proposed legislation has its opponents.

The New Mexico Business Coalition is concerned the bill does not protect employers against false claims.

“An employer may enter into a settlement agreement for reasons other than being guilty of the claim,” coalition President and Founder Carla J Sonntag writes in an email. “For example, an employer may choose to settle, knowing the claim to be false, rather than spend countless hours and financial resources defending against the false claim. To then allow the employee to publicize the settlement will only hurt the business.

On the other hand, if the claim is substantiated through a fair legal process, we believe that information should not be shielded.”

Hochman-Vigil says another point of pushback might be that passing this bill would take away a “tool” that defendants have to reach a settlement and that the legislation would push more people into longer and more expensive litigation.

However, she is hopeful the legislation will pass. This year’s lawmaking session is focused around passing the budget, so any proposed legislation that does not have a budgetary element has to get a “message from the governor,” showing Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s support for it to be heard in the House.

“We did get a message from the governor indicating her interest in this, which means it will be heard this session,” Hochman-Vigil says.

“I think that the time is right. I think we’re doing this in the interest of justice. I think we have a good bill that addresses some of the concerns we’ve seen from other people on the opposing side of this. We’ll see what happens.”

If passed, the law would take effect only on agreements signed on or after May 20. The bill is pending in the House Labor, Veterans’ and Military Affairs Committee and is on the agenda for its meeting Thursday.

Next up would be the Judiciary Committee, on which HochmanVigil sits. The House floor would be the next stop.

The session ends Feb. 20.

On the Cutting Edge of Water Efficiency

The Pantry is one of six restaurants to participate in a city program aimed at saving water with pilot devices.

City could save 120 million gallons of water a year with nationally recognized Restaurant Water Conservation Program

BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

O

ver 300 restaurants in Santa Fe use more than 635 million gallons of water each year. That’s a lot of water down the drain in a city where every drop counts. But the city’s efforts to reduce use by 20% have positioned Santa Fe as a national leader in water conservation strategies for the commercial sector.

This month, Green Builder magazine, a publication that focuses on sustainable development, named Santa Fe as a 2020 Sustainable City of the Year in recognition of the city’s Restaurant Water Conservation pilot program that audited and updated appliances in 30 restaurants in 2018. According to Christine Chavez, the city’s water conservation manager, her office plans to expand the pilot program to another 100 restaurants this year.

“We want to save water as much as possible with Paper Dosa,” says Paul Raj Karubpasamy, who co-owns the restaurant with his wife Nellie Tischler. “I definitely think it is important for the city to be helping restaurants because we were

already doing very many things to save water, but the city helped us to save even more.”

The city installed aerators on the kitchen and bathroom sinks of the restaurant to reduce water use. But Karubpasamy says the restaurant does not know exactly how much water has actually been saved since the measures kicked in, because it is not metered separately from the other businesses in its building.

“Most of the restaurants exist in strip malls or master-metered properties where they are not individually metered, so the biggest challenge was that restaurants had no idea how much water they were actually using,” Chavez tells SFR. In its first year, the program identified more than 1.5 million gallons of potential water savings, according to Chavez.

Among those with individual accounts, participating restaurants reduced their actual water use by 450,000 gallons, with more actual savings on the horizon as the restaurants put in the recommended water saving measures and appliance upgrades.

The city collaborated with the manufacturers of Phyn, an AI leak-detecting “smart meter” technology, to pilot a device that measures individual appliances’ use patterns in six of the 30 participating restaurants.

The device works by constantly monitoring each appliance for irregular or high water use, then notifying the restaurant

owners of potential leaks and wasteful consumption habits. It has revealed some surprising outcomes. At Ecco Gelato & Espresso, the appliances expected to use the most water were sinks and coffee machines. But the device showed that the most water-intensive appliance was actually the water well the cafe uses to rinse gelato scoops, says Chavez.

The other restaurants with Phyn devices are Sweetwater Harvest Kitchen, Joe’s Dining, The Ranch House, Restaurant Martin and The Pantry.

In the first round of the pilot, the city installed Phyn in restaurants that had unique appliances, such as the water well, to collect specific data for the development of a commercial meter. The city plans to expand on this by installing the device in 30 of the 100 restaurants participating in the second phase of the project.

Jacinta Sauve, general manager at The Ranch House, tells SFR the city installed about 20 Phyn devices on water-using appliances in the restaurant. She says Phyn is still in the process of collecting data and hasn’t yet become fully functional, but it is already proving useful. Earlier this month the restaurant suffered a leak.

Though the system could not yet identify where the leak started, the device immediately notified managers it was outside the restaurant.

“Before, if water use went up, it was just a guessing game of checking where we might or might not have a leak,” says

Sauve. “With Phyn there will be a point in time when the system will be able to tell us exactly where the leak is right away.”

Eventually, Chavez says the data will be used to create a device specifically tailored to commercial industries that could be installed in every restaurant facing issues in metering its water use.

“This solution was one of the really positive outcomes of these partnerships that really elevated the program,” says Chavez.

The city Water Conservation Office also partnered with the Santa Fe Community College’s New Mexico Energy Smart Academy and the Santa Fe Green Chamber of Commerce on the project.

Chavez says the auditing process itself presented an equal challenge when the entire water conservation office staff spent almost every day for a month examining leaky appliances because they could not find any professionals certified to audit restaurants.

That’s partly because vocational training programs for this specific certification did not exist, says Chavez. So the office contacted the Santa Fe Community College for help. In response, SFCC’s Energy Smart Academy developed a program for water auditing in the commercial sector.

“This is an extremely new concept,” says New Mexico Energy Smart Academy director Amanda Hatherly, adding that Atlanta, Georgia, is the only other city in the country to have attempted a similar commercial auditing project, “but I expect that this is going to open up opportunities all over the country because restaurants use so much water and we have such an issue with water and climate change.”

Hatherly tells SFR the college got help from a National Science Foundation Grant awarded to Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon, to develop the curriculum for an online degree program focused on water efficiency. SFCC’s Energy Smart Academy partnered with the Oregon college to develop the commercial water auditing course for the curriculum here.

So far, the city has contracted with six auditors trained and licensed by the school. Chavez says the second round of the pilot will cost the city $50,000. But in the long run, she says, the water saved will translate to dollars saved for the city.

Looking beyond that, she hopes to expand the program to the hospitality industry by beginning audits of Santa Fe’s hotels and motels.

ometimes this town starts to feel a little too big. A surprising number of new restaurants, artists collectives, nonprofits and boutiques spring up every year.

Long-time locals keep us in awe with their ever-fresher forms, too.

Our community is growing fast, and it’s kind of SFR’s job to stay on top of it, week in and out—but sometimes, it moves a little too fast, and between managing the details and keeping sight of the bigger themes that make this city great, our heads get all muddled. This week,

Delphino the Artisan Snake When it comes to in-store pets, Santa Fe is definitely up on its game. Not only can Artisan art supply store (2601 Cerrillos Road, 954-4179) fulfill your art-making needs, the owners also have a giant Burmese python named Delphino in a glass room at the back of the store. Delphino is the son of Delilah, the 17-foot, 275-pound female snake who lived at Artisan for 17 years and even starred in a movie called Rising of Isis. Ron Whitmore is the man behind the python. He began as a sales clerk in 1988 when Artisan was still on Canyon Road, eventually becoming a full-fledged partner before the store’s move to Cerrillos Road. A plaque on

boasts a real-life building, the former Zephyr Community Arts Studio spot off Airport Road, and the future is looking good. The official kickoff came a couple weeks back when the collective showed a bevy of local artists, told us all a little bit more about what they see for the future—and proved spaces dedicated to arts for PoC and LGBTQIA2+ are vital at this point in human history.

Here’s to many more years!

SITE Santa Fe makes weekends civilized There’s two types of Saturdays: 1. Deal with laundry and stayin-pajamas-all-day, or 2. Act like a civilized person living in a quasi-urban environment.

The Chatter (in) SITE Santa Fe series (1606 Paseo De Peralta, 989-1199) inspires the latter approach to the weekend. On the second Saturday of the month, Chatter, an Albuquerque contemporary chamber music ensemble, brings programming to the north. The performance pairs the music with a reading by a local poet and delicious coffee for the audience

Game on What I needed for my birthday this year wasn’t balloons or cake or attention. As 41 knocked on the door, I was craving something with low-key rewards. So my husband grabbed two rolls of quarters and we headed to the Santa Fe Place mall. It was also our most recent stop on a tour of something else we are celebrating—the resurgence of pinball in our city. It’s turned into a personal rediscovery of all things arcade. We’d already checked out the shiny, flashy pinball machines at The Alley in De Vargas Center: Star Wars, Jurassic Park and Aerosmith machines and the vintage Black Knight (and maybe even played for so long that my wrists ached the next day). But now, the old arcade space off the mall food court is once again an old arcade. All Out Zone

sponsored by Ohori’s.

The upcoming Feb. 8 performance features the Attacca Quartet playing Beethoven’s Opus 18 No. 6 along with an untitled piece by Paul Wiancko. Poet Nathan Brown is the featured reader. SITE Santa Fe Director of Education and Curator of Public Practice Joanne LeFrak worked with Chatter to create the Santa Fe outpost for the group.

“Chatter presents avant garde chamber music and SITE presents contemporary art…so it dovetails with the quality of the work that SITE shows,” she says, noting that Chatter calls itself chamber music for “sonic explorers,” which parallels SITE's goal to offer contemporary art “for the adventurous explorer.” Bonus: The concert begins at 10:30 am, leaving plenty of time to visit the Saturday Santa Fe Farmers Market across the street, and SITE is free on Saturdays during the Farmers Market.

Our mall date was fun, especially in the vacancy of the early hour.

Even as it filled up, we popped coins into the crazy, stand-in ski game that doles out encouragement like “Way to carve!” as your avatar slides down the mountain. I didn’t get the high score of the day on Galaga, but since it was my birthday, the winning player entered my initials.

Many hands get help from Chainbreaker Collective The inequality of wealth and opportunity in Santa Fe is staggering, and access to transportation is one of the biggest stakes in the divide.

It’s federally illegal for employers to ask if you own a car unless it’s required for the job, but they will ask if you have reliable transportation; with the help of the community organizers at Chainbreaker Collective (1515 5th St., 9893858), there’s no reason for any Santa Fean to say “no.”

I started looking into the group after three different strangers on the bus told me to, and I’m so thankful for their advice.

Chainbreaker is careful to specify that they don’t do anything for

You just have to be willing to get your hands dirty and put in some work. After receiving a bike through their program, you also get a free, annual bus pass.

“Annual?” I said to the strangers.

“Yes, a whole goddamn year,” they said (I’m paraphrasing).

If you’ve recently bought a bike for more than $240 at a local shop, you’re also eligible for the annual pass rebate. Spend more than $20 at a local shop on bike gear, and you’re eligible for a monthly pass.

Besides this, Chainbreaker does tons of work educating folks on local politics, combating gentrification and protecting renters' rights. (Cole Rehbein)

In the dog days of winter, the mind wanders to warmer times of hanging outdoors with friends listening to music, drinking a beer and waiting for the sun to set at, say, 9 pm rather than 4:30 in the afternoon. This particular tank-top wearing fantasy revolves around the popular Santa Fe Salutes series each summer in the Santa Fe Railyard. The series has a slightly morbid spine, in that it brings together New Mexico musicians to commemorate departed rock icons. It launched to pay tribute to Prince, following The Purple One’s death in 2016. Since then, the show has gone on to celebrate the music of David Bowie (our heart still breaks for this one), Tom Petty and

While recently perusing the incredible Yokai: Ghosts and Demons of Japan show at the Museum of International Folk Art, the tail end of the exhibit welcomed us (and all visitors) to check out manga, create our own artworks and otherwise engage beyond the display cases. It was delightfully whimsical and a welcome change of pace from the stuffy reputation of most institutions. In

Aretha Franklin.

Sad as we are to see these living legends go, nothing beats a free night of music and seeing the Railyard at full capacity. Produced by AMP concerts, no word yet on the direction for Santa Fe Salutes for 2020 (we can totes imagine a Rush tribute following drummer Neil Peart’s departure from this mortal coil, not to mention some Cars songs ala Ric Ocasek but, of course, the year is young).

Ringleader and guitarist Mikey Baker tells us he met recently with the AMP folks to discuss “how to make the show even better and we haven’t decided yet what this year’s theme is going to be.” Santa Fe Salutes also coincides with SFR’s biggest party of the year celebrating Best of Santa Fe on July 31. See you there! (JG)

Santa Fe, however, it’s not new. Look to recent exhibits at the New Mexico Museum of Art, others at MoIFA and the New Mexico History Museum for a long tradition of getting folks’ hands into the game. This is a godsend for the kiddos—as well as the kiddo in us adults—and a far more intriguing way of deepening the museum experience than simply reading further at home. (ADV)

George RR Martin opened a freaking bookstore If it hadn’t been for George RR Martin, the Jean Cocteau Cinema would have stayed closed instead of playing weirdo art movies and boasting a full bar. If it hadn’t been for Martin, there’d be no Meow Wolf. If it hadn’t been for Martin, we certainly wouldn’t have had Game of Thrones. Like a hypothetical lottery winner talking about all the things they’d do with the cash, Martin actually took his fame and fortune and…impacted his community for the better. Enter Beastly Books (418 Montezuma Ave., 466-5528), the writer’s newest project and a veritable cornucopia of dorky fantasy tomes

Delicious homemade Mexican food for sale on social media Santa Fe has more authentic Mexican and Central American food to offer apart from what you can get at the numerous Mexican grocery stores and hot food bars around the city like El Paisano’s and Panaderia Y Tortilleria Sani.

We’re talking about the active Facebook group La Yarda de Santa Fe that has daily posts

for the discerning fantasy dork.

We kid because we love, and because it’s honestly kind of hilariously amazing how many great things Martin has done for the community. Beastly Books only carries signed editions (including Martin’s work) and seems the perfect browsing spot for those who’ve stopped by the next-door theater for an arthouse flick. We even hear Martin hangs around in the shop from time to time, so stop by and ask him when we’re gonna see that video game collaboration with Japan’s FromSoftware. (ADV)

names appear in two out of three programs you receive all over town. It wasn’t always like this here, but recent shifts in community leadership and a general sea change in our town’s performing arts ethos have ushered in a new era of camaraderie and collaboration, and every single show that goes up around here is the better for it. This kind of behavior isn’t necessarily normal in a theater scene; many times, folks choose one theater to which they’re loyal and sink their teeth in as deep as they can.

But it ain’t like that in Santa Fe. Everyone plays everywhere, and everyone has fun.

(Charlotte Jusinski)

The theater community is incestuous (in the best way) You know those stereotypes about actors being petty and cutthroat? Yeah, we need to abandon those STAT, especially here. Go to a show and you’ll see at least five other theater kids in the audience. It’s not abnormal for someone to be simultaneously directing a show at one theater, doing PR for another theater and planning an audition at a third. Many of the same

Tumblings! from the Santa Fe area and Albuquerque selling fresh, homemade Mexican and Central American food like gorditas (usually around $2.50 each), pupusas, empanaditas de cerveza and quesadillas, just to name a few. Pupusas, a special dish from El Salvador, are thick flatbreads made from cornmeal or rice flour and usually stuffed with a few different ingredients like cheese and meat.

They’re all reasonably priced and can be picked up and sometimes even dropped off wherever you are in town, depending on what you arrange with the cook.

The prices are not normally posted with the food and it’s up to you to negotiate with the seller.

With so many Facebook posts per hour, it’s an underground but important part of the food landscape in Northern New Mexico.

Monday night can tend to be a dead zone for eating out in these parts. We don’t begrudge restaurants for needing a night off, but we get hungry and lonely! So, it’s been really great to find more than just a fill-up at Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery (2791 Agua Fria St.), where chef Brent Jung is now putting on a weekly Monday dumpling dinner. Jung sold the Marcy Street Izmi Sushi Bar he’d long run with his mother and now offers a simple menu that’s also quick and mid-priced.

Tumbleroot opened in the old Club Alegria space in the spring of 2018 and has had success with both in-house kitchen options and visiting food trucks. Concerts there can be packed, and we are trying hard to remember how nice it can feel on the outdoor patio in a different season.

This weekly delight from Jung, however, is warming right now.

Plentiful seating and short waits are perks that lead up to the main show: These dumplings are damn good.

Try a sampler served in a steamer basket with two each of three different kinds (shrimp, pork and chicken) for $12, and make sure to add a couple veggie-only versions for another $3. The spicy dipping sauce is out of this world, and sides such as kimchi slaw and seaweed salad round out the meal. Wash it down with a Tumbleroot shrub, beer or cocktail while you’re at it. (JAG)

Letting it grow and passing it on We love the idea of sharing resources and knowledge to nurture a community where everyone has equal access to growing their own food. That’s the vision behind the Santa Fe Seed Library, a new project started last spring at the Santa Fe Southside Library (6599 Jaguar Drive, 955-2820) by the Santa Fe Extension Master Gardeners in collaboration with library staff.

It works like this: Check out any seeds for free along with expert advice about how to plant them, grow your seedlings to maturity, and save some seeds to return to the library at the end of the season.

First-time seed savers need not worry, as members of Master

Twenty years of La Cocina de Doña Clara This colorful Mexican food restaurant has provided a homey atmosphere for the last two decades (4350 Airport Road, 473-1081).

It’s complete with traditional-looking flowery tablecloths and flags, fast service and the best gorditas and mole in town. We’re huge fans of the large but out-ofplace marine mural on one wall.

The restaurant opens daily at 8 am for breakfast and serves lunch and dinner, too.

Gardeners are on hand on weekends to chat about what you want in your garden and help you choose some vegetables that are easy to grow for seed. Organizer Christine Salem tells SFR that in its first year, the library “loaned” out almost 1,000 veggie and flower seed packets to library patrons and held seven workshops covering various aspects of vegetable gardening and seed saving. The library will start up again this year with a kickoff party and seed swap on March 14. (Leah Cantor)

Salsa Night con Nosotros Santa Fe is lucky to call itself home to Nosotros, a nine-piece Latin band that successfully blends jazz, rock and classic Latin beats in both their original compositions and their covers of some of the biggest Latin music hits.

There’s sometimes live music on the weekends, and don’t forget— it’s cash only!

We love our lawyers here at SFR. No, not the attorneys at law often found bloviating on issues past their depth or extolling the virtues of their surely guilty clients in the pages of your beloved weekly.

We mean our lawyers. Specifically, Daniel Yohalem and Katherine Murray, who, if you are not aware, are New Mexico treasures here in Santa Fe. (Yohalem’s shingle is a prominently displayed mainstay on Paseo de Peralta, appropriately placed in the shadow of the state’s seat of power.)

SFR enjoys a good tussle with powerful government offi officials who would prefer you, Dear Reader, not have

Evangelo's, Tumbleroot and Draft Station. But what we love most about this band is the devoted fans who show up at every show to dance, effortlessly keeping time with the rhythm even when the band embarks on one of the lengthy jam-bandy interludes they sometimes sneak into the middle of a song.

Go regularly, and you’ll start to recognize most of the faces in the audience. Nosotros brings together a community. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room on the dance floor for those of us still learning the steps.

access to records showing how they’re conducting your business. To wit: We sued former Gov. Susana Martinez in 2013 for a litany of violations of the Inspection of Public Records Act—and won in court!

But only because Murray and Yohalem, without the promise of a dime, agreed to champion our cause.

Martinez fought payments to the pair till her last day in office. But we’re pleased to say that, with the expiration of a state-mandated confidentiality agreement, our legal superheroes were paid just north of $360,000 in fees and costs.

It’s not nearly enough. In truth, there is no amount of money that could repay our debt for such amazing help in the fight for transparency. And we’re not done yet. The duo is representing SFR afresh in another attempt to free public records (because, of course they are). Stay tuned…

You can take the fam museum hoppin’ for free

Harrell House Bug Museum Tucked away in a faraway corner of the Travelers Market in the DeVargas Mall lies a magical place called the Harrell House Bug Museum (542 N Guadalupe St., 695-8569).

The museum, which is really an amalgamation of tanks and terrariums, houses a collection of over 150 live animals including insects, spiders, scorpions, millipedes, reptiles, amphibians and fish, some of which you can touch and hold, all for $7 or less.

If you consult the online feeding schedule, you can also time your visit with the feeding of your choice: lizards and lungfish on Thursdays; tarantulas, scorpions and other predatory invertebrates on Sundays and fish, turtles, toads and salamanders on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. (AS)

Dildos and dusters and lace thongs, oh my!

Finally, Santa Fe has a sex store that’s just for ladies! Cruiser’s Boutique (1494 Cerrillos Road, 349-1362) opened a little over a year ago in the building once occupied by the beloved and sorely missed restaurant Mudu Noodles (SFR first wrote about the new adult store before it opened under what we thought, at the time, was a truly hilarious headline: “Wet Noodles.” Looking back, all we can say is….eww!).

Boutique manager Janay Armijo tells SFR she wants Cruiser’s to be a

Affairs and includes museums in Alamogordo, Albuquerque, and Las Cruces (in case you wanna take your pass on a road trip). But in Santa Fe, it will get you into the New Mexico History Museum, the New Mexico Museum of Art, Museum of International Folk Art and Museum of Indian Arts and Culture.

If all this museum traipsing sparks a true fire for the arts in your family, return the FamilyPass and check out the Share the Experience Pass (S.T.E.P) to get into The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, The Santa Fe Botanical Garden and the Santa Fe Children’s Museum. S.T.E.P is part of a local city initiative to make the arts more accessible to everyone. (LC)

Just one more reason we love our public library—as a library card-holding resident, you can check out a museum FamilyPass that gets you and five other people into over a dozen New Mexico museums and historical sites, for free, for up to two weeks before you have to return it. The pass is part of a program by the state Department of Cultural

Animal shelter dog park place where women feel safe asking questions and talking about their desires without the uncomfortuncomfort able male gaze that is ever present at Arcade News, an adult movie and accessory store further down Cerrillos. Both stores are owned by the same parent company out of Texas, but Armijo only hires female staff, stocks a selection of erotic items marketed specifically towards women and is passionate about helping women discover what makes them happy so they can advocate for themselves in the bedroom.

The lingerie here might be tacky, but they’ve got some great “Kama Sutra” candles that melt into massage oil. A gal who wants to buy something special for herself or surprise her hubby no longer has go through the icky, degrading, and sometimes scary experience of getting ogled by the guys leaving the private viewing booth down the road. (LC)

This city loves its dogs. To express that love, there are multiple scattered dog parks, but none so inviting as the dog parks at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society (100 Caja del Rio Road).

Visitors enjoy sweeping views of the Jemez Mountains on one side and the Sangre de Cristo range on the other, plus miles upon miles of open land.

The shelter runs its free community dog parks using public donations. Visit the 7-acre open space for social time or one of three smaller enclosures where just you and your dog(s) can play, if your fur-babies are less than sociable. Of course, there’s also a fenced-in area for little doggos under

30 pounds. While your pets play, you can socialize with the other friendly dog owners and complain/brag about your one-of-a-kind fur baby.

The only thing to watch out for are the cacti growing freely in the big space. A fast, clumsy dog could run right into them. Over the summer, I spent 30 minutes under the hot sun picking spines out of my 70-pound American bulldog after she ran straight into one. (KL)

Coffee just right The three fundamentals of a good coffee shop are cheerful, polite baristas, clean tables and excellent coffee. Some coffee shops in town hit one or two of these things and add in a bunch of decor or pretentious attitudes to cover up for the rest, which makes the simple process of going out for a coffee quite a distracting affair. However, Sagche’s Coffee House (730 St Michael’s Drive, 780-5263) nails all three points on the regular, without extra frills, and it tops it off with a delicious food menu featuring crepes and waffles for breakfast and enchies, salads and burritos for lunch.

The origin story is a true American tale of success from

Saturday mornings at the Railyard Big confession: I love trains more than most. Some call my breed “foamers,” because we foam at the mouth every time a locomotive chugs past. It’s derogatory, but in my case it’s kinda true.

I also love local agriculture, of course, and flea-market-y type situations, so you’ll imagine my limitless delight when I learned that all three things are taking place in the Railyard every Saturday morning. My routine: Grab a coffee from Sky and watch the northbound train arrive at 10:05 AM. The caffeine plus the thrill of a 500-ton piece of public metal coming into the station brings my spirits up to tip-top

Pro tip, if you use your SNAP benefits to buy food or produce there, you get double the exchange value. Just across the tracks in the Museo Cultural, dozens of local, cheerful vendors sell their art, clothing, books, stuff from around the world, more food and anything else you can imagine. Two hours later, I feel as though I’ve traveled the backroads of New Mexico’s farming communities and taken a trip across the globe, all from the comfort of the Railyard. (CR)

Volunteers who make the city go-round Take any local event or organization that’s successful and you’re likely to find one thing in common: Volunteers are doing heavy lifting.

With The Food Depot’s Souper Bowl just around the corner on Feb. 1, and more than 1,200 patrons due through its doors, organizers are counting on help from a veritable army of others.

The Food Depot hosts dozens of restaurants who compete for the championship of soup-making each winter, but it also recruits helpers for its year-round warehouse and distribution oper-

Malbec and Dr. Field Goods Pizza Santa Fe and New Mexico in general is definitely not known for its excellent pizza joints, but Dr. Field Goods Kitchen (2860 Cerrillos Road, 471-0043) breaks the mold and makes a kickass pizza pie.

Hit up Dr. Field Goods for the best combination of wine and pizza in the city.

It's is a small, cozy space in a strip mall parking lot, totally unassuming, but delivers

ations. Volunteer coordinator Sarah Carter says the nonprofit has 1,800 people on its worker roster and is always welcoming new faces to keep the hunger-relief work happening.

Same goes for this summer’s International Folk Art Market, which needs volunteers to keep shopping smooth at the threeday event in July on Museum Hill. For the extra mile, volunteers here even sign up to house players from the Santa Fe Fuego semi-professional baseball team over the summer. Communities in Schools is always looking for people to help with public school projects. Pancakes on the Plaza relies on volunteer flippers. We could spend all day at this. The point is: There’s something you can do to pitch in. And when you do, you’ll make Santa Fe’s good things even better. (JAG)

good service and other things to eat besides New Mexican food.

Sit at the bar or at a table and enjoy a glass of Malbec and one (or two) of their three speciality pizzas baked in a wood-fire oven. Faves include margherita ($15.50), cheese pizza ($14) or Pizza De Gallo with diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapenos, smoked mozzarella and New Mexican gremolata ($16.50).

Or build a pizza of your own with 14 available toppings, including local goat cheese.

Green chile is an option too, obviously.

Dr. Field Goods touts its habit of buying from local farms, including a community farm in Española and organic produce from La Cienega. Even their pork and dairy are New Mexican! (KL)

Stunning Canyon hikes Everyone who was ever a teenager here or knew one knows about Diablo Canyon. But it’s enough out of the way to stay off the mainstream day hiking radar. The beautiful walk through a dramatic canyon off Old Buckman Road is only about 15 miles outside of the city limits.

Guidebooks typically recommend this 6-mile hike for winter and spring because it’s mostly along a dry riverbed in the sunlight. It’s a stunning 3-mile out and back through the canyon walls and down to a glittering piece of the Rio Grande. You’ll definitely spot free-ranging cattle, lots of birds and maybe a few adventurous people rock climbing the faces of the canyon near the trailhead.

It’s a relatively

easy hike, except your feet do sink in the sand and snow as you walk, so be prepared to sweat while you’re walking in the sun, even in the winter. Bring your dog along too! My dog loved every second of running freely along with us and jumping over the rocks in the dried-up riverbed.

Just make sure to hike with a friend who has an automobile with four-wheel drive. After you turn onto Old Buckman Road, it’s a skull-rattling 7.5-mile hell trip to the trailhead. My Honda Civic is going to need some bodywork after I drove there on a slushy day several weeks ago. (KL)

INNOVATION. Indie Film Festival Keeps Growing Though the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival's Executive Director Liesette Paisner-Bailey told SFR earlier this year that some of the fest's funding comes from grants that feature National Endowment for the Arts money, a recent $15,000 picked up from the NEA itself is no small matter. See, the SFiFF has grown explosively in the 11 years (2020 marks its 12th iteration) since it began in the

old Warehouse 21 space within the pre-modern Railyard. Now, instead of a projector and folding chairs, the annual brouhaha takes over almost every theater in town to screen a combo of features, docs, shorts, art films and more.

That's not even mentioning the speakers and parties, the panels and awards (which have in recent years been given to the likes of Stephanie Seymour, Tantoo Cardinal and animator Bill Plympton, among others) Turns out this was the first time SFiFF applied for the grant, too, so who even knows what next year will look like?

PRC Déjà vu Pending legislation and a constitutional amendment could change the state’s regulatory environment—again

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

F

or the past week I’ve been obsessively checking to see if legislation to reform New Mexico’s Public Regulation Commission has been filed yet.

I realize PRC reform doesn’t have the sexy allure of legalizing cannabis, but the history of the state’s attempts to create a regulating body not awash in scandal and incompetence make even this non-pot smoker wish she had a little OG Kush on hand.

If you do partake, feel free to spark up as I take you on a condensed journey into the past.

Prior to 1998, two different entities regulated utilities here: the State Corporation Commission, an elected body; and the Public Utilities Commission, whose three members were appointed by the governor.

former PRC and SCC commissioner Jerome Block Sr., on four felony counts (consider that a very condensed version of the Jerome Block story, whose legal problems continued post-PRC).

Think New Mexico helped push through several laws aimed at reforming the PRC. House Bill 407, passed last year, will require candidates for the PRC to specify their qualifications to regulate the state’s utilities, and follows a 2012 constitutional amendment requiring they have them in the first place. Previously, one basically just had to be felony-free (which turns out to be a surprisingly un-predictive quality).

Lawmakers also agreed in last year’s session to place a constitutional amendment on this year’s general election ballot

“The current system is not working,” Wirth says, noting that even as a lawyer who has practiced for 30 years, and who has had exposure through the Legislature to numerous regulatory issues, he wouldn’t feel comfortable “given the complexity of regulatory law” representing the state as a PRC commissioner. So, needless to say, perhaps folks with zero legal knowledge shouldn’t either. “I think In 1996, New Mexico voters approved a that’s the whole genesis of going back to constitutional amendment that abolished an appointment process,” Wirth says, “… both commissions in order to create just bring in the expertise to be able to get the one to regulate utilities, transportation politics out of the PRC.” and telecom, among other consumer serThink New Mexico has a neutral stance vices.

SOUP’S ON If there’s one way to get people to help, it’s to sweeten the deal by offering food. Yeah, we’ve got any number of famous food-related fundraising events in Santa Fe, but the one that takes the cake (as it were) is obviously the annual Souper Bowl, which enters its 26th iteration this Saturday. First off, proceeds go to the Food Depot, so score there, but secondly, the Souper Bowl is like an all-star game of local chef talent setting out to make the most delicious soups imaginable across four categories: cream, savory, seafood and vegetarian.

LECTURE SUN/2 OUT OF THE EARTH Western knowledge systems often promote colonial violence by framing the discourse around extractive or otherwise exploitative values. One of the biggest culprits is archaeology, which literally pulls Indigenous material culture out of the ground and ships it around the world to be “studied” while impoverishing the land’s ability to speak its own history. However, the field is evolving, with archaeologists such as Joseph Aguilar (San Ildefonso Pueblo) reclaiming the practice to construct Pueblo narratives about Spanish relations during the late 17th century Revolt era. Catch a free talk from Aguilar this Sunday and shift your perspective on the way we approach this crucial period of Pueblo history. (Cole Rehbein) An Indigenous Archaeology of a Colonial Encounter in the Pueblo Southwest: 1-2 pm Sunday Feb. 2. Free for NM residents; $12 for out-of-state visitors.

Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, 710 Camino Lejo, 476-1269.

COURTESY ASPEN SANTA FE BALLET

PERFORMANCE TUE/4 BODY MOVING Since the mid-1970s, Brazilian dance troupe Grupo Corpo has basically blown every mind it has come across with, we hear, a smooth blend of bonkers energy and a technically precise take on choreography. Them dancers are coming to Santa Fe, too, with an exclusive-to-here pair of works that are sure to delight and astound in equal measure.

“Dança Sinfônica” and “Gira” represent the group at its best, the sort of dance that led the Boston Globe to literally say “Oh, those hips!” and the kind that takes advantage of master dancers’ limberness and studied style. To summarize, the Grupo Corpo show is sure to be full of boundless energy and gasp-inducing moves. If you like dance even a little, here’s your thing. (ADV) Grupo Corpo: 7:30 pm Tuesday Feb. 4. $46-$94.

Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W San Francisco St., 988-1234.

ART OPENING FRI/31

Art Over Artifice Larry D Blissett and the power of being self-taught “There’s no real mission,” painter Larry D Blissett tells SFR of his practice.

He’s coyly just mentioned how he doesn’t have much of an imagination, either, but looking over his newest series, set to open at Blue Rain this Friday, that’s obviously absurd. Blissett’s paintings are crammed with the stuff, from his Scholder-meets-Basquiat portraiture and outsider abstracts to his strange but compelling color studies and imperfect geometrics. It’s not precisely the kind of work you’d expect from a longtime concrete and general contractor but, according to Blissett, it just comes to him, as it has since he started painting in 2009.

“I was out at my daughter’s house doing a remodel, and I just got tired of heading home and watching TV after work,” he says. “I went and bought some paint that night.”

It wasn’t until 2014 that he really doubled down on creating and showing his work. A disastrous canceled show in Amarillo, Texas, would have been his first solo affair, but at some point afterwards, between showing in Santa Fe at Johnny’s Classic Barber Shop and Contemporary Spanish Market, Blue Rain Gallery took SFREPORTER.COM

notice. He’s shown there before, but the upcoming Gris Gris Mojo Boogaloo might be his largest collection yet—and it was completed in just six months.

“It’s just what comes out of me,” Blissett explains. “Artwork is involved in every aspect of our lives, it’s a fundamental part of life, we’ve gotta have it.”

Wise words from a self-taught (and proudly so) artist. Blissett paints what he sees and imagines, whether that’s, in his words, “a portrait or a wild-ass abstract,” and by eschewing the idea that all art must solemnly express profundity and statement, he’s made his way to a familiar though not inauthentic style. Yes, Blissett wears his influences on his sleeve, but it’s so much more than homage—it’s honest and immediate and densely inhabited.

As for the bizarre name of the show?

“It just came to me all of a sudden,” Blissett says with a laugh. “I was just being a smartass.” (Alex De Vore) LARRY D. BLISSETT: GRIS GRIS MOJO BOOGALOO: NEW PAINTINGS: 5 pm Friday Jan. 31. Free. Blue Rain Gallery, 544 S Guadalupe Ave., 945-9902

Frontiers in Science Special Lecture

Luminous: Tribute to women astronomers who shaped our understanding of the Universe

Bette Korber

Los Alamos National Laboratory

During the last century four women astronomers stood out for their fundamental contributions to astronomy. They discovered the distances to stars, the chemical makeup of the universe, revealed the significance of dark matter and made a compelling case for an ever-expanding universe.

Los Alamos scientist Bette Korber will highlight the challenges and triumphs of these scientists who helped blaze trails through the Milky Way and beyond.

Join Korber and Santa Fe’s Karina Wilson on violin for some science, music and history on International Women and Girls in Science Day.

Santa Fe Tuesday, February 11 at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Jean Cocteau Cinema 418 Montezuma Ave.

Due to limited seating attendees are encouraged to register online for one of the two talks at https://frontiers-in-science.eventbrite.com For more information: Call (505) 667-7251 or visit http://frontiers.lanl.gov

COURTESY SANTA FE SYMPHONY

MUSIC

S FR E P O RTE R .CO M /M US I C

A one-night engagement promises intimacy and spontaneity from the Santa Fe Symphony

BY AEDRA BURKE a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

W

ith a big milestone looming on the horizon, you’re probably going to be seeing a lot of information about Beethoven in the next year or so.

“This is the 250th anniversary of Beethoven,” says Santa Fe Symphony’s conductor Guillermo Figueroa.

So take note: If you’ve never heard Beethoven’s Eighth or Ninth symphonies played live (and you really, really should), you’re going to have your chance this spring, during the Symphony’s aptly named Beethoven I and II, happening in April and May, respectively. No doubt, these programs will be world-class and worth seeing, but more than anything, there’s something sublime about hearing 80 players create music in a room ( just ask producer/murderer Phil Spector, who understood the importance of big sound).

“It’s one of the most incredible machines invented by humankind,” Figueroa says of the orchestra. “When you have 60 to 80 people playing, creating one musical idea, orchestrated by a great composer, and you experience it live?

There’s nothing like it.”

But instead of focusing on the largescale symphonic productions that will surely pack a hall on the merits of the pieces themselves, let’s talk about something a little smaller in scope, but no less exciting. On Saturday Feb. 1, at the St. Francis Auditorium, Figueroa tackles the violin alongside five other players from the Santa Fe Symphony during Strata, a program

Chamber music gets weirder than you might think at the Santa Fe Symphony’s upcoming Strata.

consisting of Beethoven’s Quintet in C Major, Miguel Del Águila’s Life Is A Dream (La vida es sueño), and Tchaikovsky’s String Sextet in D Major (Souvenier de Florence).

The thought of attending such a concert might conjure expectations of technical compositions, free of error and devoid of player creativity, or even breathing room. After all—classical music is most often defined by its sheet music and stuffy reputation, right? Maybe so, but setting aside how patently false that is (classical is basically metal, and I’ll fight you on that), Figueroa would like to to debunk its nofun concept. Instead of staid note-fornote playing, he and his fellow players are aiming for something a little lighter, something, perhaps, with its own sense of identity.

“Ideally, you don’t really practice for a certain perfection,” he says, adding that there’s always more to classical than the technical ability of the players. “You practice and put it together so you can be in the moment. The best performances I have ever achieved or witnessed are when something inspired happens in the moment.”

A smaller-scale venue hosting just six players also provides another important element, particularly when it comes to winning over new fans: intimacy.

“Chamber music is the most intimate and most revelatory ideal of most musical forms,” Figueroa explains. “When you’re in a big orchestra, you’ll have 10-to-12 first violins, about the same number of seconds; they all have to play in a prescribed way, or else it sounds like a mess, you have a certain amount of freedom, but not that much. In chamber music, every person is an individual. You have this amazing amount of freedom.”

With that freedom comes spontaneity, one of Figueroa’s favorite aspects of the format, he says, because it creates a “heightened conversation among all the principals. Everybody contributes in a new way. You do have this freedom to do things you haven’t done in the rehearsal.”

Chamber music thus becomes a dialogue.

“You know when you have a great conversation with somebody, things are clicking, people are listening and responding?”

Figueroa queries. “That’s exactly what happens in a great chamber music concert.

We’re given a literal script by some of the greatest musical minds of all time for us to converse and transmit information.”

Given this relative freedom, music selection matters, and though the names of the program’s composers are ubiquitous in the world of symphonies and concertos, each brings something special to the table.

The Beethoven piece, for example, is the only concert he wrote for this specific combination of strings, while Tchaikovsky’s Souvenier de Florence is described by Figueroa as one of the most popular and fun pieces to play with a string sextet.

“Every string player wants to play this at all times,” he says.

Finally, Del Águila—a still-alive composer, by the way—has a direct connection to New Mexico: he was commissioned to write an opera for the Albuquerque tricentennial in 2006.

These types of engagements provide an experience that is both familiar and stunning in uniqueness; a great jumping-off point for classical music introductions with a more playful bent than a massive orchestra. For those who are familiar, even overly familiar, comes a chance to be transported to a different place by old friends. Even Figueroa can’t say what the program will ultimately sound like. He just can’t quite put his finger on it.

“The draw of music is unexplainable,” he says.

THE CALENDAR with Emma Marzen

ALICIA OLATUJA Intuition: Songs from the Minds of Women

SEAN JOHNSON, MESA CREATIVE SOLUTIONS

Emma Marzen is the incoming executive director of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, but it’s not her first position with the outfit. In 2016, Marzen became the company’s box office head, and within six months, wound up promoted to the head of community engagement. A native of Maryland, Marzen attended the University of Miami for both choral studies and music business, parlaying that experience into a position at the Lincoln Center. But she’s Santa Fe’s now, and she’s gearing up to bolster programming, expand engagement and otherwise slay. The Desert Chorale’s next performance lands later in February, but for now, we wanted to get to know Marzen a little. Welcome to the big job, Emma! (Alex De Vore) I understand you were a part of the Desert Chorale before. Do you feel this gives you a leg up?

I really feel like I’m coming home, being here now. [The Desert Chorale] has always been incredibly special to me. It’s a mission I believe in, and I feel that I have a deep understanding of essentially all that is required to both run this operation and further its mission for the future. We have so many special opportunities afforded to us—being in Santa Fe, going into our 38th year, and I have strong relationships with our board and our patrons, some of whom have been with us since almost the beginning, supporting this organization. I’m very confident in my knowledge of the chorale and where it needs to go.

Obviously it’s early in the game, but do you have a particular vision you’re hoping to fulfill in your new role, or is it taking a more organic direction?

I’m still just getting my feet back on the ground at the chorale, but on a philosophical level in terms of vision... people love this organization, and it might not be the most high-profile organization in town, but it has a strong following, and the reason for that following in my mind is really because of this magical experience our patrons have when they go to Desert Chorale concerts. It’s an antidote to a disconnected world, and it allows us to join in our most accessible and innate form of musical expression. It reminds us that we are fundamentally connected and we can understand each other more deeply, so with that, my vision is simply to further that experience; to further our reach, to share this experience with as many Santa Feans, New Mexicans, Americans, people of the world that we possibly can.

The million-dollar Santa Fe question when it comes to so-called high-brow culture is usually something like “How do we get more young people to engage?” Is that a goal, and how might you go after that demographic?

Absolutely. I think it’s everybody’s goal... For the Desert Chorale, I think this is one of those age-old questions we’re always thinking about and always trying to find new ways to tackle. I don’t know that I have an answer right now, but I think listening to our audiences is going to be critical, and really reaching out, frankly, in more digital streams. Trying to find ways to express the experience, the story of the Desert Chorale, and what it could mean to someone who is younger and perhaps sees choral music as more ‘high-brow’ and inaccessible art form.

We’re a little bit more genuine than some experiences our generation has today—I am a millennial, and I’ve had a lot of these experiences myself, and ensuring there is accessibility in terms of tickets prices is also going to be critical. [The Desert Chorale] is going to be open to all, we want to bring this experience to all ages.

Tuesday, February 11 | 7:30 pm Lensic Performing Arts Center Jazz chanteuse Alicia Olatuja has been astounding audiences with her “full-bodied tone, precise pitch and personal engagement” (Downbeat) since she burst onto the scene as a featured soloist at President Obama’s second inauguration. Now, the rising jazz star is making waves with her most recent album Intuition: Songs from the Minds of Women, which focuses on the rich contributions of a diverse group of female composers. Her Santa Fe program includes songs by Brenda Russell, Sade, Tracy Chapman, Kate Bush, Angela Bofill, and Linda Creed.

This performance is underwritten by Robin S. Black; Gina Browning & Joe Illick; Ann Murphy Daily & William W. Daily; Elaine & Michael Brown Tickets start at $29: PerformanceSantaFe.org | 505 984 8759

Reading in the Arroyo: An Occasional Column About Books ‘The Bad Side of Books: Selected Essays by DH Lawrence’ B Y M O L LY B O Y L E a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

’ve always had a soft spot for the British writer DH Lawrence (1885-1930). But even at the tender age when I first picked up Lady Chatterley’s Lover, curious about its illicit history, I knew to read him with tongue lodged firmly in cheek.

That’s because Lawrence is by turns both brilliant and absurd. For example, I can’t think of two more hilarious—and intentional—euphemisms for genitalia than John Thomas and Lady Jane, the main characters of Lady Chatterley. (In fact, the book was originally supposed to be titled John Thomas and Lady Jane. Lawrence can be unsubtle that way.)

Reading The Rainbow and Women in Love cemented Lawrence as a guilty pleasure. His novels have a quality akin to what I dig about objectively bad ’90s erotic thriller movies like Sliver and Body of Evidence. In both genres, sex is a short circuit to psychological shenanigans and intrigue, and the reactions to the kinds of sex the characters are having tend to reveal the small-mindedness of society at large.

They’re like naughty—and often clunky— PSAs about exercising your right to kinky freedoms.

But Lawrence was also a blazingly transcendent writer on a constant quest for universal human connection, and there is an aching clarity in his descriptions of the natural world.

A few essays in The Bad Side of Books (New York Review Books Classics, 2019), a new-old collection of selected Lawrence nonfiction published last fall, contain his reflections on New Mexico.

In the fall of 1922, ol’ David Herbert and his wife Frieda came to Northern New Mexico. They were heeding the siren song of the bohemian socialite Mabel Dodge Luhan, who writes in Lorenzo in Taos that her psychic transatlantic call to Lawrence, “Come, Lawrence! Come to Taos!” was “not prayer, but command. Only those who have exercised it know its danger.”

Luhan had never met Lawrence in person, but she wanted him to come to

Taos to connect with and write about the Pueblo people, in part to foster resistance to the Bursum Bill of 1922. The bill, introduced by New Mexico senator Holm Bursum, would allow non-Natives to claim squatter’s rights to Pueblo land.

Lawrence had a reputation as a loner and a rebel, to paraphrase Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. He left Britain after his novels were banned for obscenity, along with accusations that he and Frieda were spies for Germany. In Taos, he entangled himself in a tempestuous throuple with Frieda and artist Dorothy Brett, who had followed him there. (The throuple became a square when Mabel developed the hots for him, too. No word on how Mabel’s soon-to-behusband, Tiwa man Tony Lujan, felt about that.)

Lawrence also fell in love with the spirit of Northern New Mexico—so much so that his ashes are entombed in an enchanting chapel at the University of New Mexicoowned DH Lawrence Ranch near San Cristóbal, despite his having lived there for less than two years. “The moment I saw the brilliant, proud morning shine high up over the deserts of Santa Fé,” he writes in The Bad Side of Books, “something stood still in my soul.”

Lawrence penned poetic odes to the only home he ever owned outright (he traded the manuscript of Sons and Lovers to Luhan for the ranch). “The ranch is lonely, there is no sound in the night, save the unnumerable noises of the night, that you can’t put your finger on; cosmic noises in the far deeps of the sky, and of the earth.”

Did Lawrence hear the Taos Hum? In the essay “Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine,” he describes a midnight intruder: “The animal had raised all of its hairs and bristles, so that by the light of the moon it seemed to have a tall, swaying, moonlit aureole arching its back as it went.”

So weird, so sensual, so very Lawrence.

But reading Lawrence means experiencing dissonance, particularly on the subject of the people he found in New Mexico. In the 1922 essay “Indians and an Englishman,” he attempts to reconcile his own place in the world with that of New Mexicans. His romanticizations and reductions are a wincing read in 2020: “Mexicans insist on being Mexicans, squeezing the last black drop of macabre joy out of life; and Indians wind themselves in white

The original fuckboy: DH Lawrence.

cotton sheets like Hamlet’s father’s ghost, with a lurking smile.” He has the unique ability to make these distinctions because he is “a lone lorn Englishman, tumbled out of the known world of the British Empire onto this stage,” which is “not like the proper world.”

“You are then thinking that ‘Indians and An Englishman’ is very racist,” Feroza Jussawalla says to me over the phone. I’d called the UNM professor of English, a Lawrence specialist, to chat about how she teaches him.

Jussawalla maintains that the author is a post-colonialist.

“The way we look at him is not as a colonizer who is being racist,” she says. “I also do this with Joseph Conrad. That there is this animated spirit, that primal energy that Conrad’s character Marlowe connects to. Lawrence, if you start seeing him as his own character that he writes about, that’s that primal energy and connection. Even though he seems like a colonialist, he really isn’t. What he’s got is an underlying love for the people.”

Nonetheless, some of Lawrence’s observations are undeniably thorny, and he way overuses the word “strange.” But the essays still make for fascinating reading, conjuring images of him in the woods with Frieda, that rich hippie Luhan, the adoring acolyte Brett and Tony Lujan instructing all of them in Taos Pueblo ways.

“He made more sense when we actually went up to the ranch,” Jussawalla says of teaching Lawrence to undergrads.

She laments the loss of funding for UNM

class field trips to the Lawrence property, which remains open to visitors two days a week, but is in serious need of financial endowment.

Visiting the ranch in 1939, poet WH Auden wrote, “Cars of women pilgrims go up every day to stand reverently there and wonder what it would have been like to sleep with him.” On a recent chilly visit to the rickety cabins and Lawrence’s chapel, not a groupie was in sight. I laid on a bench under the famous “Lawrence tree,” a riotously intersecting ponderosa pine that Georgia O’Keeffe painted in 1929. I daydreamed not of a naked David Herbert, but of what a lovely writer’s retreat the ranch could be.

According to Sharon Oard Warner, a UNM professor who oversees the Lawrence Ranch Initiatives, that kind of residency “could be a real asset to Northern New Mexico. But it would take millions of dollars.” Of the ongoing fundraising efforts for the ranch, she says, “I’ve had some very close calls with some very big names, but I haven’t managed to make it happen.”

Paging some literary superfunder!

(George R R Martin can sit this one out; he’s done enough.)

COURTESY SAWMILL MARKET

S FR E P O RTE R .CO M / FO O D

The Second Coming of the Food Court A rendering of a new Albuquerque Food Hall, like a food court but a million times better.

Sawmill Market readies for opening in Albuquerque

BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

n my teenage years, pretty much the only things to do where I grew up were riding horses and haunting the mall. My friends and I chose the latter whenever possible, hitching a ride with whoever’s parents were making the 30mile jaunt into the city so we could gawk at the cute guy selling tapes at Sam Goody, try on clothes we couldn’t afford and chug down frothy Orange Julius(es…Juliui?) with sides of Hickory Farms cheddar cheese samples. The food court was our favorite place as it offered ample opportunities for people watching, as well as tastes of exotic foods we weren’t likely to get at home–fresh-made pretzels, hot dogs on sticks and Karmelcorn.

Though the days of the mall food court are long past, I still love the idea.

And, it seems, so do lots of other people, as everywhere I go these days there’s an “elevated” food court experience to be had. On a recent trip to Atlanta, there was Ponce City Market; in Mexico City it was the Mercado Roma; in Lisbon, Portugal, a bustling Time Out Market. These socalled food halls are the grown and sexy versions of the places that anchored so many of our teenage social lives—the food court rebirthed as marketplaces hip to all

that is artisanal: architecture, art, design, food and goods. I’ve always been a bit disappointed that we lack such an offering in Santa Fe. Actually, in all of New Mexico.

But, hallelujah! That’s about to change and, come March, our neighbor city of Albuquerque welcomes Sawmill Market (1909 Bellamah Ave., 505-750-0520; sawmillmarket.com), New Mexico’s first food hall.

Located in repurposed lumber warehouse, Sawmill Market will offer 33,000 square feet of, according to its press materials, “Albuquerque’s best culinary experiences, local farmers, local food artisans, craftsmen and artists celebrating the diverse cultures and culinary traditions that make up the eclectic New Mexican landscape.”

Sawmill Market is being developed by Jim Long, CEO and founder of Heritage Hotels & Resorts, Inc., the parent company of many local luxury stays including the Eldorado, Inn and Spa at Loretto, Hotel Chimayo de Santa Fe, Hotel St. Francis and The Lodge at Santa Fe. Jason and Lauren Greene, owners and operators of Albuquerque’s Grove Café & Market, have developed the project’s concept, curating Sawmill Market’s culinary and retail tenants.

“Each of our tenants and concepts tell a story that speaks to the spirit and cul-

tural tapestry that make up New Mexico,” says Lauren Greene. “We’re thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with these artisans and makers from the very beginning and excited to see their efforts come to fruition as we get closer to the opening.”

Sawmill Market is slated to open with 17 tenants offering everything from freshly-made pasta and smoky BBQ to craft cocktails, waffles and even a floral shop. One of my favorite ramen places, Naruto Ramen (the sister spot to Santa Fe’s Mampuku), will have a space, as will another of my favorite Albuquerque staples, fashion and lifestyle shop Spur Line Supply Co. Last, but certainly not least, Santa Fe-based Dr. Field Goods Kitchen will have a space as well.

Josh Gerwin, Dr. Field Goods’ owner and chef, says his Sawmill Market space will offer hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages and more, along with a butcher shop display case.

“I wouldn’t have the opportunity to do this if didn’t have such a great establishment here [in Santa Fe],” Gerwin. “I never really thought about opening anything in Albuquerque, but they called me and it seemed like a great opportunity so I decided to go for it.”

Gerwin and his fellow artisans will anchor spaces surrounding communal

eating areas, allowing customers to order food and drinks from different places, and enjoy them together. The building, once the showroom and warehouse of The Frank Paxton Lumber Co., was originally constructed in 1958 as the “Home of Beautiful Woods.” In its newest incarnation, beautiful woods continue to be recognized as part of a modern industrial design, the original wood ceilings having been refurbished “with a nod toward the sawmill roots of the area,” says the Sawmill Market website. Additional design elements include floor-to-ceiling windows, which keep the space light and airy, as well as garage doors that open to patios and outdoor spaces. True to the nature of New Mexico living, wood-burning fireplaces and fire pits will allow customers to enjoy the outdoor areas through the cooler months.

“I’ve been doing my build-out for two months now, so I’ve been able to see the progress of the space,” Gerwin adds. “It is beautiful, with amazing finishes, and in a great location.”

So, if you like local-ish history, sophisticated design, delicious food and drink, beautiful goods, people watching and supporting small business, a field trip to Sawmill Market should top your spring “to do” list.

The Santa Fe Animal Shelter can help!

The Gatos de Santa Fe program provides free spay/neuter to feral and free-roaming cats.

Using a method known as TNR, feral or free-roaming cats are humanely trapped, brought to the shelter to receive spay/neuter surgery, and returned to their environment to live out the rest of their lives. TNR has been proven effective at decreasing cat overpopulation nationwide.

If there are feral cats in your area, please contact the Gatos de Santa Fe program:

Santacafé A change of ownership in the late summer swept this downtown, high-end power lunch locale back into the local culinary spotlight. Its reopening just before Indian Market brought full-house crowds to the historic white-walled home and its radiant courtyard. We squeezed in at the bar and enjoyed watching as a rainbow of cocktails and aperitifs designed by new owner Quinn Stephenson sailed away. Ours was a purple-hued plum martini with spiced plum bitters and citrus ($18). We tackled the lunch choices from the single-page menu by executive chef Kelmin Rosa with a sharedplate plan, dividing up three dishes between two people: the sumptuous Talus Wind Ranch pork dumplings with a thick and savory sesame dipping sauce ($14), a side of roasted cauliflower and broccolini ($12) with a deep flavor, seasoned with garlic, parsley, chiles and vinegar, and an order of avocado tartine—that’s fancy speak for toast laden with garlic cream and pickled vegetables ($12). The fancy didn’t stop when we took a gander at the dessert menu ($13 each), from which we chose cookies and cream. A pile of cookies and a dollop of fresh whipped cream arrived with a small glass of milk—all atop a gold doily that was totally unnecessary given how much the cookies shined on their own.

(Julie Ann Grimm)

Pizza Centro Pizza may just be the great culinary leveler, the one dish everyone everywhere has in common.

But finding the good stuff proves elusive. Still, it’s true what they say—even bad pizza is still pretty good, but great pizza, the kind you long for and exhaust your friends with tales of…well, that’s a whole other can of olives. In Santa Fe, that place is Pizza Centro, an homage to New York City style that practically insists you fold your slice to eat it properly. Find those, by the way, until they sell out daily across three locations: downtown, on the Southside and in Eldorado, alongside a vast menu of creative concoctions, all running $17-$26 (before additional toppings). We’re partial to the Alphabet City, a vegetarian’s delight with flash-fried eggplant, mushroom, spinach, artichoke, garlic, roasted red pepper and a balsamic glaze—we also like to dip our crust in a side of the balsamic—or the Central Park with spinach, basil, garlic, sundried tomato and ricotta atop whole milk mozzarella. Centro has much for the carnivores, too, from classics like pepperoni and sausage to more fanciful orders like The Village with prosciutto, eggplant and gorgonzola.

Then there’s a full menu of sandwiches, hefty salads served with house made bread and, at least downtown, gelato for afterwards. (Alex De Vore)

The Ranch House We’re doing it. The Ranch House has been around long enough that we can declare it The Santa Fe BBQ Joint. Going on 14 years, with nine of them at its current location on the Southside, the spacious restaurant brings reliable, ample portions. There are so many favorites on the menu from Josh Baum and his wife Ann Gordon that it’s hard for us to narrow it to a few. If you have to pick just one thing: brisket, brisket, brisket. Baum smokes it all in Texas brown oak.

Good thing, too, that one order comes with a choice of two sides ($14) and we’ll make that easy too: corn bread (the kind that is moist, buttery and thick, with green chile tucked inside for flavor) and BBQ beans that make the plate even more toothsome. Start with queso waffle fries ($8) and add brisket ($3)—do you detect our theme? The menu’s also loaded with salads and sammies, and one of our companions can’t get enough of the steak and butter-glazed shrimp entree ($19). We can’t believe there was even a conversation about dessert. We got the brownie sundae with Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce anyway ($5.95). Three spoons and top pants buttons unbuttoned. (JAG) 2571 Cristo’s Road, 424-8900 Lunch and dinner daily theranchhousesantafe.com

The Gentlemen Review:

6

As Guy as it gets

+ MINDLESSLY

ENJOYABLE ON SOME LEVEL, PROBABLY - SEXUAL ASSAULT; SOOOOO DUDE-ISH

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

“It’s a Guy Ritchie movie,” I said over the phone, “so it’ll probably be a convoluted if mildly intriguing story set against a laundry list of gangster types and played out over a super-hip soundtrack of throwback bangers.”

“Word,” my friend said. “That sounds fine.”

And fine it was, because The Gentlemen is exactly what you’d expect from the venerable British director as he returns to the organized crime genre—a steady stream of UK-based businesspeople who work in the business of drugs and shooting people and stuff. It’s…fine. Yeah, it’s fine.

We follow the quiet yet violent Mickey (Matthew McConaughey who seemingly treats this role with the same lifeless energy he affords his Lincoln commercials), a London-based, American-born crime boss—presumably because nobody wanted him to even take a crack at a British accent—who, after building a massive weed empire over a few decades, is ready to leave the game and spend more time with his wife (Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery).

He’s even lined up a buyer in the form of American bazillionaire Matthew (Jeremy Strong of HBO’s Succession, who seems to be trying out

some kind of Truman Capote vibe but mostly fails and is awful), but when a ruthless Chinese up-and-comer who goes by Dry Eyes (Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding) pops in to try and buy the farm(s) at a lower price at the same time a tabloid boss decides to ruin Mickey for a perceived social snub, everything starts falling apart and people gots to get got.

Cue soulful bassline.

So, setting aside the needless premise that much of the story is related in flashbacks and didn’t-really-happen vignettes as told by a smarmy PI (Hugh Grant) to Mickey’s number one guy (Charlie Hunnam), The Gentlemen does find time to interject some mini-mystery and humor into its otherwise glum tale of drugs and crime and stuff. Colin Farrell practically saves the movie as a boxing coach mentor to a gaggle of social media-obsessed roustabouts who run afoul of Mickey, and Hunnam’s buttoned-down murderer vibe definitely works. It’s just that McConaughey really phones it in, and we can’t say much more for Strong. Actually, at least McConaughey has a

few brief moments of badass or charming; Strong just flounders among the more experienced and/ or talented cast members. Golding, for example, makes for a fairly enjoyable villain—right up until the utterly needless sexual assault scene (can we just get these out of movies, already?) bookended with a bullet or two, and Dockery, who is criminally underutilized here, cuts out a notably interesting performance.

Still, much of The Gentlemen feels like a pubescent male power fantasy wherein badasses gleefully kill and make up weird business rules and the women around them grab their junk before disappearing until their next big plot device moment. Blah, blah, blah. But if you can shut off your brain and go into it knowing you’ll see some guns and weed—and laugh at Farrell’s honestly wonderful supporting role—you should be fine. Yeah, fine.

COLOR OUT OF SPACE

The color came from space—and Nic Cage’s family pays the price.

+ WHEN IT GETS GOING, IT’S SO WEIRD AND FUN

- IT’S DEFINITELY NOT, LIKE, GOOD

Richard Stanely (an uncredited writer for the disastrous 1996 film Island of Doctor Moreau) puts on his director’s cap for Color Out of Space, a new cosmic horror flick based on a Lovecraft story wherein a literal color from space crashlands on a farm and starts wreaking havoc.

The film version follows the Gardner family, a new-to-the-country bunch who seem to be running from some unexplained trauma and for whom farm life is still an adjustment.

Alpacas roam free, as do the children. Patriarch Nathan (Nicolas Cage) seems well-suited for the new environs, experimenting with recipes and curating a top-notch wine cellar, while wife Theresa (Joely Richardson) and the kids (Madeleine Arthur, Brendan Meyer and Julian Hilliard) struggle to get onboard while maintaining their Alexandrian witching rituals, love of weed and dog ownership respectively; in the distance, a squatter named Ezra (Tommy Chong, somehow) keeps to himself with his cat, G-Spot.

A cancer subplot is briefly mentioned, though never really explored.

And then it comes—from space! A bizarre, hot-pink meteor crash lands in the Gardner’s

UNCUT GEMS

front yard, bringing with it a…parasite? Or a fungus? Or some kind of alien? Nobody really knows (Lovecraft loved unknowable horror, didn’t he?), but a super-hot hydrologist named Ward (Elliot Knight) is pretty sure it contaminated the water, so no one should drink it.

But they already did drink the water! And if it’s not Nic Cage’s character phasing into a bizarre surfer dude rendition of his hateful (and dead) father while exploding on his family without warning, or his son bafflingly unable to put the fucking alpacas back in the barn, it’s Joely Richardson’s absorbing other people and transforming into a horrifying John Carpenter-esque hybrid spider-person.

Where Color Out of Space fails is in trying to take itself seriously, particularly in the meandering setup and exposition. Characters deliver “As we both know, X happened before we came here,” kind of lines, and clunkily introduced supporting cast members make no discernable mark or difference. When things do finally get cooking, however, it becomes a crazy enjoyable monster movie with some pretty cool practical effects and a wildly unsettling payoff. Stanley’s direction thrives in the moments that could have felt silly but suddenly seem high-stakes, and Cage really leans into…his whole thing in a way he hasn’t since Con Air (this is meant as a compliment). Everything becomes a chaotic CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

mess of sci-fi creeps and scares, shot surprisingly beautifully against an untamed nearby forest.

It feels old-school in a way studios have been trying to replicate to no avail in recent years (go to hell, Tom Cruise Mummy), and it must have been a complete blast to make. For audiences, however, it’s tricky to navigate a solid hour before things get weird. But get weird they do, and for those who just want a bit of outlandish sci-fi/ horror, this is just the ticket.

It’s not all grand. Sometimes a massive scene crammed with extras wears thin, seemingly drawn out to justify the large scope.

Nobody listens to anyone, either, and a scene with a mud-bound truck just feels pointless.

Of course, it’s possible Mendes was trying to honor his grandfather by including smaller events, and they even sort of humanize some of the nameless soldiers. But the true surprise of the film are the moments of beauty that sneak up on us: cherry blossoms sailing through the wind, a bucket of milk discovered undisturbed, new life growing from the rubble of a destroyed country town—hope, above all else. (ADV)

BEAUTIFULLY - VERY LITTLE STORY

LITTLE WOMEN

World War I went down at such a strange cusp in human history—the politics, the evolving technology, the rapidly changing world—that it wound up trapped between modernist experimental ideas and the tail end of aging battlefield tactics. The weaponry, for example, was the most lethal and advanced ever conceived at the time, and those who used it were so new to the equipment that the violence borne down from all sides was some new kind of horrific.

Director Sam Mendes (Skyfall) knows this intimately, because his newest, the harrowing 1917, turns out to be based on a true story related by his grandfather Alfred, who was really there in the trenches of France when the German army enacted a strategic retreat to sow discord, false confidence and confusion among the British troops.

We’re thrown into the fray immediately as Lance Corporals Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Schofield (George MacKay) are ordered by a high-ranking general to carry a ceasefire letter across enemy lines to a hubristic colonel hellbent on pushing the perceived advantage and dug in with 1,600 men some miles away. If they fail, Chapman and Schofield are told, it’ll be a massacre; they’ll need to go on foot, and the stakes are even higher as Blake’s older brother is meant to lead a garrison into battle at the new front line.

Much has been made of Mendes’ seemingly cut-free film, and one really must see it to believe it. 1917 is a technical marvel both in terms of immersion and pacing, but this is no meathead, glory of war nonsense crammed with action scenes and bulging muscles. The violence plays out more on a macro scale, and the conditions facing our heroes are actually few and rather muted; the tone is one of quiet desperation more than it is of fearless heroes meting out righteous bullets at a faceless enemy. In fact, 1917 does not glorify or try to justify war, it simply tells a story contained therein.

+ MERYL STREEP AS MEAN AUNT MARCH

- NOT ENOUGH STREEP

It is a truth universally acknowledged that women in the 19th century didn’t have a plethora of options (nor did they in the 18th century, which is when another famous novel about sisters was written from which this review’s opening lines are cribbed).

Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women tells the story of four sisters: Meg, Jo, Amy and

Beth March (Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen), growing up poor in New England during the Civil War. Despite having little, the sisters have spunk and dreams. Particularly Jo who, like Alcott, is the writer in the family. Little Women was a huge hit when it was published in 186869, and it has never been out of print since then. And yet, at the same time, it’s a problematic text if you don’t like stories about women getting married.

Director Greta Gerwig is not the first filmmaker to grapple with contemporary readers’ dissatisfaction with the marriage plot of Little Women. But she is the first to navigate it in a satisfying way. While the film captures cinematically the domestic warmth of the story—the March home is cozy and the sisters bedecked in costumes for the plays they put on for one another and the frocks they wear to parties—it also breaks a domestic story wide open. Gerwig accomplishes this with a narrative slice-and-dice of the original story’s timeline, and an imagined amplification of Jo’s career as a writer.

Ronan acts winningly as Jo, a surrogate for Alcott, who hoped her heroine could end up a literary spinster. “I’m sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for,” Jo says to her mother Marmee (Laura Dern). Alcott also

1917 has all the walking over hills and running through debris action you’ll ever need.

was sick of it. She was involved in the women’s suffrage movement, and the first women to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts.

Little Women doesn’t just pass the Bechdel test; it pays tribute to a woman writer who pushed at the constraints of her time. (Julia Goldberg)

A HIDDEN LIFE

7

+ MEDITATIVE PERFORMANCES - FEELS CONVENTIONAL, NOTHING REVELATORY

True to form, director Terrence Malick (The Thin Red Line, The Tree of Life) deals with the loftier spiritual and existential matters of life in his mournful new film, A Hidden Life. Taken from a George Eliot passage about those who silently sacrifice their lives for the good of others, Malick based the film on the true story of Franz Jägerstätter (August Diehl) and his wife Fani (Valerie Pachner).

The two live in the idyllic farm village of Radegund in Austria with their daughters.

They spend their days bouncing around lush green hills, tilling fields, picking wildflowers and harvesting wheat—all the while stealing loving glances and childlike smiles reminiscent of Bill and Abby, the love struck sharecroppers from Malick’s 1978 film Days of Heaven.

“How simple life was then. It seemed no trouble could reach our valley,” Franz says.

But the trouble does reach their valley in 1940 as their pastoral bliss is shattered when Franz is summoned into the Army. At this point in the war, every Austrian soldier called for active duty had to swear loyalty to Hitler.

Franz doesn’t agree with the Nazi agenda and becomes a conscientious objector by refusing to swear the oath, getting himself imprisoned in Berlin.

While he remains steadfast in his beliefs— not even able to swear the oath with metaphorically crossed fingers—the townspeople, who have lost countless loved ones to the cause Franz rebukes, begin to ostracize Fani and her children, forcing her to do all the strenuous farm labor with only the help of her equally petite sister (Maria Simon) and Franz’ stern mother Rosalia (Karin Neuhäuser).

A Hidden Life thus becomes one big “Pfui Hitler!” to the Nazi officers who continually try to convince Franz his defiance isn’t doing anyone any good, least of all himself and his family.

“You think it will change the course of things?” one officer asks him.

And later another says, “No one will be changed. The worlds will go on as before.”

It’s hard not to wish Franz would just give CONTINUED ON PAGE 43

up already, especially as we watch Fani and her family suffer the hardships of life without their beloved around. But with all the heavy-handed Christ allegories being drawn— cue Bach’s St. Matthew Passion—we pretty much know that isn’t going to happen.

Malick’s decision to get political is a timely one, and it’s impossible not to draw the comparisons between 1940s Austria and 2020 America. Unfortunately, the comparison isn’t hugely revelatory and neither is the message; A Hidden Life film is as slow and plodding as a pair of Austrian clogs, but the subtle acting, poetic cinematography (Jörg Widmer) and staggering mountain backdrops make it worthwhile. (Allison Sloan)

Jean Cocteau Cinema, R, 174 min.

BOMBSHELL

9

+ FIERCE FEMALE CAST - SEXISM ISN’T OVER

It’s easy to write off the long-legged, thick-eyelashed and Spanx-bedecked female personalities of Fox News as the Anchor Barbies they strive to be. And to be sure, that right-wing, regressive stance doesn’t engender sympathy for their characters. But it would be a mistake to discount the power of their story—and how their actions helped shove off a movement that took down some gross dudes who heretofore seemed untouchable.

Bombshell is hands-down one of the best choices on the big screen this blockbuster holiday season. The eye-catching trio of blondes who make up its core cast is almost an intergenerational look. With Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson, Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly, and Margot Robbie as a fictional catchall for the new set, Kayla Pospisil, they represent decades of women journalists fighting their way through through corporate television media, its pervasive sexism and worse.

Carlson’s post-termination lawsuit against network executive Roger Ailes for sexual harassment was the precipitating event for story, yet it’s Kelly’s decision about whether to stick her neck out as a second high-profile woman making similar allegations that makes up the central plot tension in the retelling.

Theron, also a producer, nails Kelly from the voice and posture to the tips of her pointy shoes—with big props to facial prosthetics and a crack makeup team the New York Times is already naming on the Oscar shortlist.

Makeup and prosthetics also transform John Lithgow into the corpulent, predatory Ailes—utterly unlikeable and smarmy. In one scene with Robbie, the isolated sounds of their breathing and his fidgeting in the chair are enough to tell a long, terrorizing story.

The tone of the whole production leaves room for the audience to cheer for the obvious heroines and hiss at the blatant villains, even get in a few chuckles and maybe a tear or two.

How those lines are blurred—even in who is labeled as winner and loser—also factors into what makes this one a hit. (Julie Ann Grimm)

Violet Crown, Regal 14, R, 109 min.

UNCUT GEMS

10

+ SANDLER, THE MUSIC, THE

CINEMATOGRAPHY - TOTAL AND UNRELENTING CHAOS

Uncut Gems, the new film by the Safdie Brothers (Good Time, Heaven Knows What) sits somewhere between the realm of magical realism and hyper reality. Much like Good Time, the Safdies’ high-stress crime thriller

MOVIES from 2017, Uncut Gems is unrelenting, frenetic and not for the faint of heart.

The film follows Howard “Howie Bling” Ratner (Adam Sandler), a fast-talking, leather jacket-clad, down on his luck diamond dealer and hustler as he desperately tries to pay back his huge gambling debts by placing bigger and riskier bets. He was once at the top (fancy house, fancy car), but has gotten himself into a hole thanks to too many unlucky deals and a diminishing interest in the diamond-encrusted Furby necklaces he sells at his shop. His wife Dinah (Idina Menzel) can’t stand the sight of his “stupid face” anymore, his daughter hates him, his assistant Demany (Atlanta‘s Lakeith Stanfield) thinks he’s a joke.

Only his mistress, Julia (Julia Fox) continues to believe in him and comforts him as he cries, “Everything I do is not going right!”

Howard is both schlimazel and schlemiel (Yiddish for unlucky and foolish) in every sense but we can’t help but love him. It’s Sandler in diamond earrings! What’s not to love?

The Safdies have a knack for capturing Howard’s sliver of New York—from the nonstop dialogue to the cacophony of cars honking on the street to the sound of the incessant buzzing of the double-bulletproof entrance to his shop. It’s a completely immersive experience that you sort of can’t wait to get out of.

At the heart of all this chaos is Howard’s biggest gamble yet, a giant Ethiopian black opal he’s planning to put up for auction at a hugely inflated price. “You can see the whole universe in opals,” Howard explains to Boston Celtics star Kevin Garnett (playing himself), who then insists on using the opal as a talisman for his upcoming game.

The opal brings a sense of mysticism to Howard’s seedy world. Daniel Lopatin’s ethereal soundtrack, part sci-fi, part outer-space and part yoga class, adds another layer of depth, elevating Uncut Gems from the excruciatingly real streets of New York to the cosmos.

An absolute must-see for those who could handle 48 hours in Midtown Manhattan. (AS)

ASHE and ASHLEIGH are bonded, adorable, 6 month old siblings. They are very well socialized, sweet, playful and loving. They get along well with other cats and children and would probably enjoy the company of a cat friendly dog. This brother and sister duo are inseparable and we are looking for a home where they can stay together.

HAVEN was discovered surviving on food from dumpsters in back of a hotel in SF. Concerned staff saw her for several weeks and realized she was homeless and needed help. HAVEN is a sweet and affectionate cat, but she is also a bit nervous. She can get a little overstimulated at times, and will give little bites to let you know she has had enough attention. She would do best in a home without young children or dogs. She is a beautiful seal point Snowshoe mix that is approximately 1 1/2 years old.

Week of January 29th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): My favorite ancient Greek philosopher was the rascal Diogenes. As a joke, he carried around a lantern during the daytime, proclaiming, “I am just looking for an honest man.” When Alexander the Great, the most powerful man in the world, came to meet Diogenes while he was relaxing outside and asked him if he needed any favors done, he replied, “Yeah, stop blocking my sunlight.” As for Plato, Diogenes complained that the famous philosopher talked too damn much and misinterpreted the teachings of Socrates. I encourage you to borrow some of Diogenes’ attitude in the coming weeks.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it’ll be healing for you to experiment with being brassy, saucy, and sassy. Emphasize what makes you most unique, independent, and self-expressive.

a higher cause or deeper calling beyond our selfish concerns. Among the 12 signs of the zodiac, you Virgos are more likely than most to carry out the latter kind of service. I bring these thoughts to your attention because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to re-evaluate, reconfigure, and reinvigorate your own service.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus author Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) published his first novel at age 30. During the next 37 years, he completed 48 additional novels and 18 works of nonfiction. Critics liked his work well enough, but were suspicious of his prodigious productivity. When they discovered that one of Trollope’s motivations for writing was to make money, they disapproved. Then they found out that Trollope kept a watch nearby as he worked, determined to generate 250 words every 15 minutes. The critics hated that even worse. Creative artists are supposed to court inspiration, not adhere to a schedule—at least according to the critics. But I approve of and recommend Trollope-like behavior for you in the coming weeks, Taurus. Cosmic forces will be on your side if you do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In accordance with the astrological indicators, I invite you to rise and soar and glide during the coming weeks. I encourage you to expand and enlarge and amplify. Don’t wait around hoping to be asked to explore and experiment and improvise—just do those things. It’s high time for you to enjoy stirring quests and research projects and missions dedicated to discovery. Be a fun-loving pioneer.

Sample the joys of being a maverick and outlier.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Author David Markson imagined what it would be like to write a novel that lacked conflicts or confrontations—in other words, a novel unlike any ever created. Libran author Ursula Le Guin also fantasized about stories with plots that weren’t driven by strife and struggle. Since many of us are addicted to entertainment that depends on discord to be interesting, we might find it hard to believe Markson’s and Le Guin’s dream would ever happen.

But I’m pleased to inform you, Libra, that your life in the coming weeks may be exactly like that: a fascinating adventure with few hassles and wrangles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to Scorpio painter Georgia O’Keeffe, success is irrelevant. The most crucial life-long effort that anyone can be devoted to is “making your unknown known.” Did she mean making your unknown known to yourself? Or making your unknown known to other people? Or both? According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to do both. So I hope you will tease out your best and biggest mysteries from their hiding places. Give them expression.

AYURVEDIC ASTROLOGY

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You Sagittarians have a talent for burning bridges that really do need to be burned. Your intuition often guides you to assess when the time is ripe to withdraw from connections that no longer benefit you. On the other hand, you sometimes burn bridges prematurely. You decide that they are in such disrepair that they’re of no use to you, even though it might serve your ultimate interests to fix them. I offer these thoughts as a preface for my advice: 1. Refurbish rather than burn a certain bridge you’re a bit disenchanted with. 2. Build at least one new bridge that will be valuable in the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Can I talk you into being more tender and open-hearted toward the people who care for you? I don’t mean to imply that you are currently too hard and closed. But all of us can benefit from enhancing our receptivity, and the coming weeks will be prime time for you Leos to do just that. I think you’ll find it easier than usual to deepen your listening skills and intensify your sensitivity. You’ll have an acute intuitive grasp of the fact that you can earn yourself huge blessings by expressing love and compassion in very practical ways.

the big picture of our understanding of the universe, of course, his discovery was felicitous. It’s not a problem that the orbits are elliptical, merely the truth. In the coming weeks, Capricorn, I foresee you engaging in a process that’s metaphorically comparable to Kepler’s.

Hard work will yield useful, if unexpected results.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Poet Robert Bly believes that each of us has a special genius, and the key to understanding and fully activating that genius is in our core wound. In other words, the part of us that got hurt the worst is potentially the generative source of the best gifts we have to give. Do you know where that is in yourself: the wound that could be the source of your blessing? Now is a great time to investigate this tantalizing mystery.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Please don’t imitate or repeat yourself in the coming weeks. Refrain from relying on formulas that have worked for you before. Resolve to either ignore or rebel against your past as you dream up fresh gambits and adventures. Treat your whole life like an improvisatory game that has just one purpose: to attract and stir up useful novelty. If you do these things, Aquarius, I can practically guarantee that you will win the game.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): All of us are in service to someone or something—to certain people or ideas or situations. We provide them with help or energy or mirroring or love. We are dutiful in attending to their needs and wants. For some of us, our service feels like a burden. It’s grating or humbling or inconvenient, or all of the Homework: Avoid the Tragic Magic Triad: taking above. For others of us, being of service is fulfilling, even things too personally, too literally, and too seriously. joyful. We find a rich sense of purpose in our devotion to FreeWillAstrology.com
