COVER, JULY 25:

We are so boring compared to your phantasmagoric picture of us! Five minutes search on Facebook would find none of the subjects you list were ever discussed on the SFBB. The admins are native Santa Feans William H Mee [and] a local historian and Feldenkrais practitioner, Felicia N Trujillo, whose father, Rep. Henry V Trujillo, passed New Mexico’s first minimum wage law in 1951. He was introduced by Mabel Dodge Lujan to her mother, Clare T Newberry, internationally published award-winning children’s book author, winner of four Caldecott Honors, gifting Felicia with their Native, Spanish, Jewish, Black and British lineages.

SFBB members include Harvard PhDs, first responders, teachers, healthcare professionals, artists and a majority of native New Mexicans of all ages. We feature posts supporting veterans, teens, Black, Native, Spanish, Jewish, Muslim and Anglo Santa Feans and Santa Fe-oriented community services and discussions.

It is funny that you describe us exactly the opposite of who we are. No mention, of course, of our FB page “Children Imprisoned at the Border 2018,” our work on the “Vigil at the Roundhouse,” or our regular health support pages.

With 1,000 applicants each week, however, we will happily miss any new members that cannot read.

Salad Days Santa Fe Farmers Market marks 50 years of growth and growing pains

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

N

ina Yozell-Epstein and Matt Ladegaard met two years ago.

He had studied sustainable agriculture in college and always wanted to start his own farm. She had worked for the café at the Santa Fe Farmers Market and served on its board. They fell in love and, this year, rented land in Pojoaque and founded Ground Stone Farm, which is having its debut season at the market.

On one early Saturday morning in July, Yozell-Epstein offered samples from the couple’s more exotic wares: mouse melon and ground cherries. Drought notwithstanding, their effusion for the new undertaking is palpable. “The market is amazing,” says Yozell-Epstein, whose other business, Squash Blossoms, provides wholesale farm products to local restaurants. “Our customers are amazing in their loyalty to buying local food.”

Yozell-Epstein and Ladegaard are among the 150 farmers from Northern New Mexico who fill the market weekly.

Newcomers vend side by side with farmers who have sold at market for all of its 50 years, celebrated this year. Entire families have grown up in the market as it’s moved from location to location before landing in a permanent home in the redeveloped Railyard 10 years ago.

Along the way, the market has grown, both in size and programmatically, with mixed reviews. Some criticize the logistic and cultural challenges of the Railyard location. Others say a recent Santa Fe Farmers Market Board of Directors decision to expel a long-time vendor reflects poorly on the board and its newer members.

Some veteran vendors say these are the salad days. Rose Trujillo, age 83, has sold at market since the early 1970s when

vendors operated out of the St. Anne’s Church parking lot. She’s training her granddaughter Christina Chacón, a market regular since babyhood, to take over the family stand, featuring everything from vegetables to dried chile to multiple fresh fruit juices. Trujillo has farmed since she was a young girl when “my father had me working in the fields and my mother had me in the kitchen.” Today, she has no complaints because “we have everything. We have food. We have clothing. Then, we didn’t have those things.”

Now she wants to take some time “to enjoy my house, enjoy my family.”

Nina YozellEpstein and Matt Ladegaard of Ground Stone Farm fell in love at the Santa Fe Farmers Market.

Market personnel enlisted the Santa Fe Police Department to remove Delehanty when he showed up at market during a one-week suspension. An email to members from the board, citing its code of conduct, states that “Mr. Delehanty has had numerous violations over the years and several in the past year alone.” Numerous vendors wrote to the board opposing the decision, and several vendors echoed that sentiment to SFR. “I think it was a mistake, personally,” Ligaialein Products owner Thure Meyer says. “No small group of people should ever be in a position to vote out a long-time member.”

As for Delehanty, he is organizing a buyers’ club for his customers and on a recent Saturday cheerfully maintained a brisk business in the old Wild Oats parking lot. A Vietnam veteran with PTSD, Delehanty says he’s raised numerous questions related to the market building infrastructure over the years, but disputed he’s been in any way menacing. In some ways, he says, “I’m much happier out of there. I’m healing up.”

Despite growing pains, everyone associated with the market expressed a fierce, if occasionally frustrated loyalty for its ecosystem.

“It’s been around here for a long time and it’s come a long way since the days of selling out of the backs of trucks in a parking lot,” Institute Executive Director Pickens says. “But we still have that aesthetic. The market brings a certain vibrancy and culture that is vital to our community and we want to see the market here in another 50 years.”

Hear Me Out

BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

N

ew Mexico’s Motor Vehicle Division knows it’s been a rough couple of years for people trying to find the right documentation to get an ID. Now, the state department that oversees issuance of driver’s licenses and ID cards is considering rule changes. A hearing planned for Wednesday morning aims to gather comments about whether the ideas go far enough.

The proposed rules changes appear to relax some of the requirements that are the subject of a class action lawsuit filed in January, which named as defendants the Tax and Revenue Department and top officials there, as well as at the Motor Vehicle Department. The changes would specifically apply to licenses and IDs that do not conform with the federal REAL ID Act. One central complaint in the lawsuit, filed by a coalition of homeless, immigrant and economic justice advocacy groups as well as several individual plaintiffs from Santa Fe and Albuquerque, was that the MVD required applicants to present their social security numbers in order to obtain identification, “a requirement that the Legislature neither enacted nor authorized the department to create or impose,” the lawsuit states.

David Coss, who was the mayor of Santa Fe for two terms from 2006 to 2014, is one of multiple plaintiffs alleging that he could not obtain a driver’s license because he couldn’t provide the MVD tax forms or a government-issued social security card that included his full social security number.

Even after Coss obtained a letter from the Social Security Administration that disclosed his full social security number, a clerk at the MVD still denied his application for a renewed driver’s license and insisted that he had to bring in his actual social security card, according to the lawsuit.

The proposed rule changes from the MVD, which were filed on June 14 and would possibly go into effect by the end of August, appear to eliminate the need

Indian Market JEWELRY SALE

for applicants to present their social security number in order to obtain a driver’s license or a state identification card.

Other proposed changes regard proofs of residency that applicants must show in order to obtain a license or ID. Under the new rules, people would now be able to show a New Mexico medical or public assistance card, profile printout, or a letter from the issuing agency. In addition, a person could present various documents establishing residency that only include the names of their spouse, so long as they also presented a marriage certificate. None of these forms are currently accepted as residency proofs by the MVD. And in an apparent reference to people without permanent addresses who’ve had trouble obtaining state ID, the new rules say a person would be able to provide an affidavit or notarized letter from “a New Mexico governmental entity, not-for-profit organization, assisted care facility/home, adult assisted living facility/home, homeless shelter, transitional service provider, or group/half way house attesting to the address where the applicant resides or receives services in lieu of” other documents.

Citing ongoing settlement discussions, a representative for the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty, a plaintiff in the case, declined to comment. A representative from fellow plaintiff Somos Un Pueblo Unido did not return calls or text messages.

Kevin Kelley, the public information officer for the Tax and Revenue Department, did not respond to SFR’s emailed questions.

Those who can’t attend the public meeting Wednesday can submit written comments on the proposed rule changes to: Taxation and Revenue Department, Director of Tax Policy, PO Box 630, Santa Fe, NM 87504-0630; or by email to policy.office@state.nm.us, sent or postmarked by the end of the day.

An indicted journalist reflects on conspiracy in today’s America

BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Editor’s note: When Aaron Cantú arrived at his new job at the Santa Fe Reporter last year, he came with the baggage of a recent arrest. Two months earlier, he spent a night in jail with hundreds of others detained during protests on Inauguration Day in Washington, DC. His actions consisted of walking, wearing black and being a witness to history as a freelance journalist. Yet, a few months later, and despite having no clear evidence of such crimes, federal prosecutors slammed him with eight felony charges including conspiracy to riot and property damage. After nearly 18 months, however, the feds dropped the charges. Cantú is finally able to publicly reflect on the ordeal, and what follows is an essay that puts a real conspiracy into context.

F

or over a year, federal prosecutors and agents have perused my digital communications, tried to hack my cell phone and possibly collected my social media records. The chill of seeing the state in possession of your private political discussions is difficult to convey. I’m not being paranoid; this really happened. The feds invaded my life in pursuit of their own conspiracy theory about a raucous protest in Washington, DC, that resulted in eight felony charges against hundreds, myself included.

The overwhelming sense of being watched has abated some since the charges were dropped, but I’m sure people within the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia—the local arm of the Trump Administration’s Justice Department—will read every word of this essay, with an eye for anything they can use to refile criminal charges against me or the 186 people still living under a five-year statute of limitations.

A few weeks after my arrest in Washington, DC, on Jan. 20, 2017 (J20), I accepted some painful advice: Don’t criticize the Trump administration publicly. At that point, I was hoping for my charges to get dropped before my eventual indictment in May. The inability

SFREPORTER.COM

to speak freely on social media and in the publications I wrote for drained my confidence; I still reflexively self-censor, often deleting tweets for no real reason.

Even though my charges have gone away, writing this is hard. This pounding in my chest, this trembling hand and sour stomach and sweaty tunnel vision are what it feels like to have your freedom of speech curtailed by the state.

I went to DC with several other journalists to report on Trump’s ascent, following a year of bubbling anti-fascism against his campaign. I currently enjoy the haven of a newspaper willing to hire lawyers to bite back, but last January I was a freelancer using vacation days from my full-time job to go witness history. This was a completely uncharted assignment: How violent could this get? Would American jackboots try to stomp me in the streets? In the end, it didn’t matter whether I presented myself as a journalist on J20 or that I only carried a sandwich and a notebook; white supremacists wound up messing with me anyway for over a year after, by working with authorities to prosecute and harass me. I pitched a dispatch soon after getting released from jail, but pulled it for legal concerns.

After 18 months, the actual memories of the half-hour march leading up to my arrest have mixed with dreams and nightmares of the day, as well as descriptions in multiple indictments, trial transcripts and media reports. My mind’s eye remembers

a dark funhouse of corporate buildings and unusually waifish, Jack Skellington-esque riot cops hemming me into a larger group. Everything looks gray and morose; it may have rained a bit. Police relentlessly deployed sting-ball grenades and pepper spray; the final tally was at least 70 grenades thrown at people blocks away from where Donald John Trump was sworn in as the 45th US president.

Creaks and shatters created by objects smashing glass, including the insured windows of a Bank of America branch and a Starbucks, are more memorable than any destruction my eyes may have seen.

Very, very loud police sirens, punctuated by grenade explosions and screaming, overwhelm everything else. “The inappropriate and extensive use of less lethal munitions suggests the need for increased supervision of officers during mass demonstrations,” said a recent report from the staid Police Foundation, which evaluated the Metropolitan Police Department’s conduct at Inauguration Day protests.

Impossible to forget are the feelings throughout the march: The whole-body nerve rush when I first saw a huge mass of marching people extending at least a whole city block; the panic run as the sting-ball grenades burst near my feet; the euphoria of an ungovernable moment, however frightening and unpredictable, that disrupted the lawful monotony binding our unequal social system together; AARON CANTÚ

and the shock when I checked my phone from inside the mass arrest and saw that protests in DC had overtaken Trump’s inaugural speech as the top headline on CNN.com. If protesters weren’t able to stop the actual inauguration, they still marred it in history.

When the first six of over 200 defendants went to trial last November, prosecutors used expressions of apparent excitement, wonder or awe during the march as evidence of a conspiracy to riot.

“I’m fucking blissed out,” photojournalist and acquitted defendant Alexei Wood announced in a livestream from the march that day. The feds later tried to use it against him in court. In an identical indictment filed against all defendants, prosecutors also used randomly shouted phrases like “Fuck it up,” “Fuck capitalism,” and “Whose streets? Our streets!” to transform an adrenal impulse into a criminal agreement among riotous co-conspirators.

The thought that I might be seriously screwed first occurred to me inside the police wagon transporting us to be processed. I sat cramped and bound along with nine other people in one of half a mile’s worth of law enforcement vehicles flashing various hues of light, as if carrying high-priority enemies of the state. I knew then we weren’t going to get off with a simple citation, and that I was probably going to have to tell my mom. I didn’t expect, however, that I would be charged with eight felonies for the act of attending and reporting on a confrontational protest, or that I would be facing a combined 80 years in prison for these charges.

Months later I not only considered my own future, but the far-reaching political implications of these cases: Why did the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia find it appropriate to hang virtual life sentences over the heads of 214 people after an indiscriminate mass arrest? How could they have so shamelessly gleaned evidence from far-right groups like Project Veritas, a discredited organization known for making deceptive gotcha videos, as well as the paramilitary group the Oath Keepers, and still felt they had a legitimate case? Where was the motivation—the conspiracy—to pursue these cases coming from?

Mass arrests at protests have happened plenty of times in cities across the country, including DC in 2002 when hundreds at a World Bank protest were arrested and later lavished with civil settlement money.

What appeared new in the J20 case was the attempt to color protesters’ actions as part of a pre-planned conspiracy between strangers to cause mayhem.

By wrapping up distinct actions like allegedly breaking windows, chanting and

lighting fireworks at a protest into a single conspiracy, they became one threatening, anti-social act against society, apparently menacing enough to warrant decades in prison. The motive to bust a conspiracy also explains the Justice Department’s initial demand last summer to review 1.3 million IP addresses of people who visited DisruptJ20.org, a website used to organize loosely affiliated masses of protests that took place at the inauguration. Despite an outcry from the media and civil rights groups, the court eventually granted much of the prosecutors’ request, yet they could find no actual conspiracy.

This data-vacuuming extended to the cellphones that all arrestees were carrying that day. The Metropolitan Police Department used technology from an Israeli security firm called Cellebrite to extract information from all confiscated phones that weren’t sufficiently encrypted. After one anonymous defendant’s phone was raided, the defendant received an 8,000-page dossier containing years of personal data, including “intimate emails to and from my friends and lovers through more than a decade, [late-]night political debates over chat apps that helped shape my values and convictions,” and more. The horror of a

hostile state downloading a record of your developing identity reaching back to early teen years is a possibility unique to millennials and later generations that grew up on the internet.

To my knowledge, the feds were never able to crack into my phone thanks to strong encryption—though they made clear that they were specifically interested in me, declaring in one motion from last October that they were undertaking “additional efforts” to get my data. But I was sufficiently terrified by other fishing expeditions, including subpoenas issued to Apple, Facebook and possibly Twitter

for communications between and among co-defendants. I never received a notice from any of these companies that my accounts had been subpoenaed—though apparently, they do not have to notify you or can be gagged from doing so—but others did, and I still treat my online presence as if it’s bugged.

All this reaching by the prosecutor’s office turned out to be for naught.

Although Assistant US Attorney Rizwan Qureshi mumbled to an unbelieving DC jury at the second and only other trial of defendants that there had been a conspiracy to “destroy your city,” this CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

This isn’t the first time that authorities in DC have hunted for clues of a conspiracy post-riot. After the city’s Black residents rose up following the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968, resulting in $27 million ($193.4 million today) in damages, the feds wanted to know who, if anybody, had orchestrated the chaos, and whether similar uprisings in over 100 cities had been part of a revolutionary conspiracy to overthrow the white American system.

Stokely Carmichael, then the leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, emerged as a primary suspect.

Shortly after King’s murder, Carmichael

AARON CANTÚ

told a radio host from Havana, Cuba, that it was “crystal clear [that] the United States of America must fall in order for humanity to live, and we are going to give our lives for that cause.” But no conspiracy indictment was ever filed against Carmichael, or anybody else. The fact that conspiracy charges were filed for so many in the J20 case over a few broken windows illustrates how much prosecutorial aggression has advanced the last half-century.

Some in radical circles have called attention to the white privilege of the J20 defendants, arguing that by virtue of their whiteness (or, for the minority of nonwhite defendants, their proximity to that pool of privilege), defendants had access to platforms, sympathy, support networks and resources that most low-income and nonwhite defendants lack, and that these advantages were hugely responsible for our success. I mostly agree with this.

It is also true that the entire legal premise underpinning the felony charges

filed against each of us was steeped in the United States’ centuries-long defense of white supremacy. The anti-rioting statute under which we were charged, which calls for a maximum sentence of 10 years if convicted for rioting where serious injury or at least $5,000 in property damage occurs, was passed in 1967 by Congress in the wake of Black urban uprisings during that decade. Prosecutors used the new law against Black DC residents the following year.

But the connection goes deeper.

The unifying legal theory of our prosecution was that we engaged in a conspiracy, and were therefore each equally liable for all property destruction or injury that occurred that day. This theory of liability stems from a mid-20th century Supreme Court decision in a moonshining and tax evasion case, but conspiracy law’s modern origins extend to the founding of this country and beyond as a legal weapon of colonialism and counterinsurgency, primarily against Black revolt in the founding of the American state.

was never proven. That trial in May ended in acquittals and mistrials, after the first resulted in total acquittals last December.

The pair of failures set the stage for the eventual collapse of the case in its entirety, letting the few dozen remaining defendants go free.

The second trial took place at the DC Superior Court where, in another room, a chief judge determined that Assistant US Attorney Jennifer Kerkhoff had intentionally misled the court about the existence of nearly 70 videos recorded by Project Veritas operatives at protest planning meetings ahead of the inauguration. The operatives handed over the surreptitiously recorded videos to a DC police detective, Greggory Pemberton, who would spend an entire year investigating the J20 case.

Defense counsel later discovered personal tweets sent out by Pemberton indicating his sympathies with the racist pro-Trump digital underbelly, and used them to undermine his testimony at trial.

According to a recent filing from former defendants, the withheld videos “cut against the theory that the … meeting was an exclusive, secretive meeting to plan unlawful conduct.” The 60s-era stereotype of violent leftists whispering clandestine plans was part of the narrative prosecutors tried to create, and they went as far as lying in open court to preserve it.

At the end of the 1600s, as the population of enslaved Africans in America grew, “the more encompassing category of ‘whiteness’ ascended,” writes Gerald Horne in Counter-Revolution of 1776, where Horne argues that the Anglo-Saxon settlers’ war for independence entrenched slavery. By 1680, one colonial legislature had drafted a bill “to prevent Negroes’ insurrection,” and this was followed by a torrent of similar anti-conspiracy legislation in the colonies over the next several decades in response to planned and executed rebellions by African people and their sometimes-allies: European servants and Native Americans resisting invasion.

One of the most famous pre-1776 conspiracies was the New York Conspiracy of 1741, in which prosecutors accused Black enslaved people and poor whites of conspiring to burn the city and overthrow the colonial governor. The colony’s narrative, as established by a fire-breathing judge named Daniel Horsmanden, was that a multiracial group held secret meetings at a white-owned tavern for months before setting fire to the governor’s home, a church, and horse stables in wealthy white neighborhoods. Four white and 30 Black people were sentenced to death for their alleged role in the plot, and an additional 70 enslaved Africans were exiled from the colony.

At the trial, which took on the sort of puritanical zeal legible in the J20 case, the prosecution coerced witnesses into affirming the judge’s racist belief that the “conspiracy was of deeper design” and “more dangerous [a] Contrivance than the Salves [sic] themselves were capable of.” The most serious transgression, in the law’s eyes, was the conspiracy of comradeship between whites and Blacks against colonial rule. After all, it had only been a few decades since “whites had achieved a sense of race solidarity at the expense of blacks” around 1700, according to contemporary historian TH Breen.

Elite settlers threatened by the growing population of Africans saw the creation of pan-European solidarity (ie, “whiteness”) in the colonies as necessary to gird against constant rebellions. Key to the eventual supremacy of the concept of whiteness, Horne writes, was that it not be interrogated too hard, lest “the loose threads of class hierarchy that this racial category otherwise obscured” unravel and ruin the entire colonial project.

This gets to the heart of the matter: In order for the colonies to overcome endless conspiracies to revolt by people they kidnapped, enslaved, exploited and colonized, its ruling elite had to create their own conspiracy—the institutionalization of “whiteness”—in defense of its power.

The Bill of Rights would later implicitly enshrine the three points of power in the

BELOW: Journalist Aaron Cantú was the 223rd person arrested in DC during Inauguration Day protests.

new nation, including whiteness, property ownership (wealth) and cis-hetero maleness, consolidating ruling class power through the law. Writing for the Harvard Law Review nearly a century ago, Francis B Sayre wrote that American courts often use conspiracy law as a cudgel, “especially during times of reaction, to punish, as criminal, associations for which the time being are unpopular or stir up prejudices of the social class in which the judges have for the most part been bred.”

It’s more than just prejudice: Today the US elite reaffirms its power through law, war, trade and politics daily, in a coordinated effort to preserve the status quo in all its structural inequality. This extreme and concentrated power is its own kind of conspiracy, one which allows the state to persecute others it considers illegal.

There isn’t enough room here to chronicle the ways conspiracy law has been used since the 17th century to criminalize associations of nonwhite people, laborers, immigrants, protesters, revolutionaries and others, nor consider nuanced exceptions, such as mafia prosecutions that rope police and politicians into criminal rackets.

But fundamentally, the difference between a legitimate and illegitimate conspiracy comes down to power.

It’s ironic that some top Trump cronies involved in the J20 conspiracy prosecution are themselves caught up in their own high-profile conspiracy cases, though not necessarily as defendants.

For example, Roger Stone, the longago Nixon ratfucker and more recently a top campaign adviser to his friend Trump, sent far-right spies to inauguration protesters’ planning meetings as far back as December 2016. Stone was referenced in a July federal indictment against a dozen Russian intelligence military officials as a “senior member of [Trump’s] campaign” in direct contact with Russian hackers targeting the 2016 presidential election.

Another is Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, the top official overseeing the J20 conspiracy prosecution. In March 2016, Sessions was beckoned in an email sent to Trump advisor Rick Dearborn from Republican activist Paul Erikson, who wanted to arrange a meeting between Trump and Vladimir

Putin. A criminal complaint unsealed in July claims Erikson was manipulated by a Russian state operative named Maria Butina to gain access to top Republicans. In another twist, the J20 defendants may have been saved by prosecutors out of the US Attorney’s Office in DC turning their attention to Butina’s conspiracy prosecution.

To this day, neither Sessions nor any prosecutor from the US Attorney’s Office in DC have spoken publicly about J20.

While prosecutors don’t often comment publicly on their cases, especially when they lose, this could have been the perfect chance for this Justice Department to trumpet its law-and-order bonafides, which makes its silence striking. Instead, prosecutors showed their asses in court, just as the authoritarian-leaning Trump presidency—which includes the Russia meddling cases, the overt embrace of white supremacy, the attacks on the press, the ultranationalism and everything else—is showing the country’s ass to the world right now.

The power structures animating US life are themselves the result of long-running conspiracies, and to update Horne’s analysis, the American project is being intensely interrogated in this moment.

History shows that when a state’s ability to present itself as a stable force for social order wanes, illegal conspiracies begin to sprout. That’s not what happened at the J20 protests, but it would be ahistorical to think it wouldn’t happen somewhere else—or that a journalist wouldn’t be there to cover it.

Thank you to my legal team, the tireless J20 defendant support network, my family, my partner and the Santa Fe Reporter for their support.

COURTESY OF ILLUMINE

In Stride Documentary delves into the motivations of distance runners across the globe The film 3100 investigates a world’s worth of ultra runners, including Japan’s “marathon monks.”

BY ELIZABETH MILLER e l i z a b e t h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

he list of assembled characters reads like what has to be a series of monologues, not an ensemble cast: Diné in Arizona, monks in Japan, ultramarathon runners in New York City and Bushmen in Africa. And in truth, in the documentary 3100: Run and Become, which debuts in Santa Fe on Aug. 17, they only brush past one another. Yet, they’re somehow in conversation, each adding on to what the others have said for a cumulative sentiment that’s shared across cultures.

“Running was prayer, and there was no way to survive without prayer,” says film director Sanjay Rawal. “There wasn’t a concept of sitting silently in a monastery or on a pew and praying passively. It was the idea that your body helped to unlock energies and experiences for your spirit and vice versa.”

The threads wove together often through coincidence as Rawal began an exploration of ultrarunning that started with the film’s namesake event, the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race, which requires road runners to average 60 miles per day to complete 3,100 miles in 52 days, all on a half-mile loop around a New York City block.

Rawal lives a mile and a half from their route—it’s on sidewalks he regularly runs, and he’d watched it for more than a decade. He befriended and was baffled by its competitors, including the 2015 winner, Ashprihanal Aalto.

“It’s a frightening race to stop and watch because you see how inadequate you are as a runner and how you have no

desire to test your strength that way,” Rawal says. “At the same time, it’s fundamentally fascinating how and why someone would do that.”

He followed two runners in the 2016 race, Aalto and Shamita Achenbach-König, who had never run the event before but also had never quit a race she’d started. The two circle the same patches of sidewalk past chain link fences and school buildings during a “heat dome” of days with temperatures peaking at 100 degrees.

“For me, the goal is to transform myself, to become a better person, and running itself is the meditation,” Aalto says in the film.

The event is named for its founder, who believed that peace could be attained through meditation as well as through art and sports. It’s not a journey, one of this year’s runners said on a video posted to the film’s site; it’s a pilgrimage, and every step is part of the ritual.

Achenbach-König, a 51-year-old cellist from Vienna, struggled as hot temperatures threatened her health. In the film her will to continue seems to speak directly to Japan’s “marathon monks,” who commit to hiking circles around a peak for 1,000 days, knowing that tradition requires suicide if they fail. The film shares remarkable access to a monk 800 days into his journey, filming him on the trail with prayer beads in hand, and in conver-

sation with his advisor.

The story moves quickly to the Southwest desert. A book on the history of the Pueblo Revolt that mentioned how running coordinated the Pueblos brought Rawal’s interest here. Speaking with Shaun Martin, an ultrarunner and board member of Wings of America, a nonprofit that encourages Native youth to run, brought the filmmakers to Arizona.

There, the film captures the 55-km ultramarathon through Canyon de Chelly—an unsponsored, prize-free race run just to experience the canyon—and Martin on a solo run to retrace the path his father followed when he fled boarding school for his family’s ancestral homesite.

The run Martin’s father took to save himself from an effort to erase his culture is echoed now in the African desert.

Bushmen in Kalahari Desert have hunted for thousands of years with spears and in a footrace with their prey that sometimes sees them running for days at a time, but the government has banned the practice.

The tribes argue it cuts them off from not just a key food source, but from an experience they believe gives them access to the power of nature and the blessings of their ancestors. They break the law to teach their children how to hunt this way, too.

Running draws people to a higher place. Rawal finds this in observing the way people accept rather than question one another’s motivations when they

pass on the trail. Whether it’s Bushmen or Diné, what they could achieve in the past— the trade routes that required running 60 miles in a day or the hunts wherein they chased antelope across the desert—bends understanding of what is humanly possible. And today, people test that running laps around a city block in the summer heat on a course that is no doubt as punishing as it is maddeningly repetitive.

In all of them, “you’re getting happiness out of what you’re doing, and you’re running with a deep well of joy or bliss or freedom,” says Rawal, who has also completed multi-day races. “It’s not the idea of pushing yourself to a limit. It’s the idea of experiencing what it means to go beyond limits.”

YUK IT UP Evan Galpert, one of the founders of Wayward Comedy, says that when the group formed a couple years ago, stand-up comedy open mic was one of members’ biggest interests—but that no bars bit until they approached Chili Line Brewing.

Now, he says of the the biweekly mic (every first and third Wednesday): “Without trying to sound too full of myself, I think a lot of the regulars are really talented.” But he also doesn’t want new folks to feel intimidated—actually, he says with a laugh, “I would love to have more mediocre people. … That’s kind of what open mics are for.”

So if you’re constantly making your friends laugh in basements like Galpert and his friends did for years before forming their own loose confederation, get the mic and give it a go.

ART OPENING THU/2

Black and White Nico Salazar’s reign of pop bliss SFR knew local artist Nico Salazar was special when we brought him in to create the cover art for our 2017 Best of Santa Fe issue, but he’s been wowing locals and non-citizens since the day Meow Wolf opened with an entire room of his black-and-white anime-meets-fine-art creations two-plus years ago. Since then, Salazar has launched his Future Fantasy Delight clothing line, shown at galleries like Beals & Co. and spent a good chunk of his time on the road visiting places like Coachella and hitting up Europe and Japan (follow @futurefantasydelight on Instagram to see his work and travels— it’s worth it!)—all places he says have inspired him greatly.

“Just seeing how the rest of the world works is such an eye-opening experience,” Salazar tells SFR, “and as far as inspiration, just seeing boutiques and popups in Paris and Tokyo, how they do retail. … I’m looking into doing more pop-ups this coming year. It was just so inspiring altogether.”

For now, though, Salazar is set to unleash 12 new pieces on the world with his upcoming show Black Cap at the Jean Cocteau Cinema. “It’s this triple-entendre meaning: black cap like my hat I wear, the

cap of a marker and it’s also a mushroom cap,” Salazar explains, adding that the new work is a culmination of his journey, his imagination and the powers of play and passion.

“For this one, it’s all super fresh and it’s more so just pure imaginative types of nostalgia,” he says. “There’s not necessarily a direct theme, it’s just kind of my mind on the canvas. I just like to have fun with it.”

Not bad for an artist who says that even a few years ago he wasn’t taken as seriously as he is now. “Growing up in Santa Fe, it’s not like my type of art was super-celebrated,” Salazar recalls. “Some people get really hung up on being political and, for me, I just can’t do it the way other people can—[my art] is all really personal stuff and if people relate to it, that’s cool. I’d rather inspire people by being an example. I take my art seriously, but I’d rather draw weird stuff and make things.” (Alex De Vore) NICO SALAZAR: BLACK CAP 5:30 pm Thursday Aug. 2.

Hop To It

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

H

ip-hop has become the most important musical genre of our time. Not even kidding. Electronic music, meanwhile—house, techno, dubstep and so forth—has become a mainstream mainstay. Country, of course, has always had its place as well, a big seller with big personalities. Countless genres and subgenres spiral out from there, eating up almost every sound and style. But whatever happened to indie rock? No, I don’t mean the Weezers or the Future Islands or even the OK GOs of the world, but the mid-level (and happy about it) bands on labels like Asian Man Records or Doghouse or Saddle Creek.

These bands are alive and well— they’re just operating outside of a dying system and forging their own futures in the relative youth of an online wilderness.

They are Grizzly Bear, Snail Mail, Milagres, Kurt Vile, Japanese Breakfast and on and on, countlessly; the major players long ago shirked the idea of attaining quote-unquote rockstar status (anyway, the “it” in making “it” isn’t even really an “it” anymore, y’know?) and are now making moves and succeeding and failing in their own way, on their own time.

Big-label support did wonders for putting music in the minds of the masses, this is true, but the real-life living achieved during the late-’90s and early-aughts American obsession with post-punk, sorta-emo, fuzzy guitars, lyricists-who-really-fucking-meant-it thing evolved into a self-produced and self-propelled DIY aesthetic-cum-movement that amounts to something like constant touring, a strong online presence, self-made

COURTESY HOP ALONG

MUSIC Philadelphia’s Hop Along sits at the forefront of an indie revolution videos and albums and a distinct lack of artifice. Philadelphia’s Hop Along is one such band within this new-ish milieu.

Make no mistake, Hop Along is singer and lyricist Frances Quinlan’s project. Bursting onto the scene with 2012’s Get Disowned (not counting earlier self-released material when she was known as Hop Along, Queen Ansleis), Quinlan and crew presented a raw and emotionally charged opus hallmarked by heart-wrenching vocals and a post-emo sound. The album made the rounds and won the critics and fans, especially Omaha, Nebraska-based label Saddle Creek (hey, we just mentioned those guys!). Cut to 2015 and Painted Shut, the band’s Saddle Creek debut and a continuation of Quinlan’s sing-shouty vocal style, which won similar acclaim. The fan base grew.

But Hop Along keeps on growing up, it seems, with this year’s Bark Your Head Off, Dog, a more mature effort and the kind of album that seems to make music writers want to use words like “restraint” and “abstraction.” Still there, however, is Quinlan’s knack for storytelling—songs that paint a picture and make economical use of her sometimes acrobatic vocal range.

“I think it’s the direction that [the music] just took,” says Mark Quinlan, Hop Along’s drummer and Frances’ brother. “Naturally, in working together, we become better at communicating with each other; we become better at serving the song as best we can without stepping all over each other.”

Mark is a self-proclaimed metalhead who also freely admits he’s tried to replicate a hybrid Blood Brothers/The Faint (The Faint also released music on Saddle

Hop Along’s Mark and Frances Quinlan (from left) give indie rock a good name.

Creek) sound in his previous bands. He also says he’s found a more suitable home with Hop Along; a place where he’s happy to collaborate with his sister and friends.

“I don’t know that I was coordinated enough to be a metal drummer,” he says jokingly. “I don’t know that I was ever a metal drummer—I always loved indie rock and I think I was just lucky enough to have a place in music with my sister, and I was willing to sort of play whatever as long as I could have that place.”

Mark defers to Frances’ ability and vision numerous times throughout our phone call, identifying her as a humble songwriter, a top-notch collaborator (vocalist Chrissy Tashjian of Friday’s opener Thin Lips has appeared on every Hop Along album thus far) and a mindful human person. “I think Frances’ goal is awareness and being caring and responsible for people, especially those who are smaller than you or with less power than you,” Mark explains. “I think if you have a voice and people pay attention, you should use it for good.”

This includes Hop Along’s process, which Mark says is democratic. It also encompasses the band’s DIY aesthetic. Saddle Creek, he says, has been very hands-off, even as the band is aware of the value of producers. “They bring in ideas

and thoughts, of course, but we all want to have the most say over what we create as we possibly can,” Mark tells SFR. “And the power dynamic has shifted a little bit since the early aughts when record sales went down the tubes—I think smart labels are aware of that and able to adapt; we definitely shopped around, but [Saddle Creek] seemed like the best bid for sure.”

And thus, indie bands keep indie-ing.

Just don’t be surprised if you start to hear more about Hop Along as time goes by.

Their growth, output and trajectory are noteworthy, even if they know how it goes in the rock game.

“I don’t think it’s the world where a band like Nirvana could be the biggest band in the world anymore, but that doesn’t mean there’s not a comfortable niche for music with guitars,” Mark adds.

“I don’t think there’s a place for playing guitar music as pop culture icons anymore, but I don’t think it’s dead, either.

Do I think the times are scary because of indie rock’s musical place in the world?

Not really.”

Up, Up and Away Getting lost in Jeffrey Schweitzer’s aversion to politics B Y A N A S TA S I O W R O B E L a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

t might not be revolutionary to be self-reflexive during such harsh political times—rather, it’s an exercise in privilege to ignore the madness and give ourselves the opportunity to focus on self-care. For artist Jeffrey Schweitzer, this practice is rooted in escapism and making work that focuses on adventure, freedom and independence.

Tucked deep into a driveway off Canyon Road is the small casita that is Scweitzer’s Bindlestick Studio. He moved here from Brooklyn, New York, in 2013 with his then-girlfriend (now wife) Meredith. At the time, he didn’t intend to have a studio become his livelihood; he simply needed a workspace. But once he had restored the casita, he says, “People started coming through and buying stuff—it sustained itself in a surprising way.” Now, the Schweitzers share their homestead with 14-month-old son Vincent and a young cattle dog named Roh, and his live-work space continues to turn heads.

“I love bringing people to Jeff’s studio because he has created his own little world there,” says Elaine Ritchel, founder and lead guide of Santa Fe Art Tours. “I think it’s great to visit an artist who lives, works and sells his art on Canyon Road.

That’s a rarity. It’s significant to realize that you’re visiting the personal space of an artist.”

Inside on the studio walls hang various pen and ink wash drawings. Some feature a miniature digital version of Schweitzer himself juxtaposed with various backgrounds, interiors and hyper-exaggerated

The title piece from Home, Jeffrey Schweitzer’s newest book.

naturescapes. There is a large table in the center of the room covered in art, and a small workspace crammed neatly into the corner near a window. Previous books he’s written are sprinkled around the room.

The moon is often present in his work at varying lunar stages as a kind of homage to New Mexico. His first book, 2016’s Into the Moonlight, explored the wonder of “being in higher altitude,” Schweitzer says. “Feeling like you’re so close to the moon you can touch it—that is very much New Mexico to me.”

Schweitzer’s next release and fifth book is called Home, and it is his first foray into writing short, autobiographical stories. Each was inspired by time he spent working in an RV camper, and he is showing the artwork associated with each story this week, months ahead of the official release in November. “It is being sold as it’s made,” says Schweitzer, who also emphasizes the works on display will be originals, “before there aren’t any left.”

In Home, the stories run anywhere from a few lines to a few pages long.

Any spelling or grammatical errors Sch-

weitzer corrected by hand are preserved in the printing process to make the book feel more like a diary. He is even using handmade papers and thin ink washes to build up various color tonalities in the original works. He layers several sheets on top of one another so it almost looks like encaustic wax piece, where the pigment is mixed with hot wax and inlaid into the surface. Lastly, he varnishes a piece of paper onto the final composition and then removes it, leaving added textures and obscuring details, giving the works reproduced in the book a vintage look.

“This stuff is representative of fading memory,” he tells SFR. “It feels very outside of what’s expected on Canyon Road.”

In the book’s title piece, his camper rests atop a precariously steep hill beneath an intricately rendered tree and a waning crescent moon. This is the embellished version of the real-life camper, another restoration project of Schweitzer’s and now his de facto studio. “Half the time, there’s a screaming baby in here,” he says, gesturing around the room, “and

But the camper becomes iconographical, a conduit for channeling, expressing and achieving his freedom so that he may find reprieve from the bustling, budding life around him. It feels open and welcoming. These environments aren’t just nice to look at, but also offer a place in which to rest the mind and reflect on our needs. For Schweitzer, Home transports him from the outside world and “the political stuff that can be crushing and overwhelming.”

If it is truly a political act to be apolitical within the construct of one’s creations, then Schweitzer is on the right track. “Putting things out into the world is like having children that will be there long after you’re gone,” he says. “These things will outlive you.”

I’m gay and have been dating a guy for 10 months. He’s great overall, and I would say for the most part we both want it to work out.

But I am having a problem with his friends and other lifestyle choices. All of his friends are straight, and almost all of them are women.

All of my friends have always been gay men, like me, so I find this strange. I don’t have any problem with women, but I don’t hang out with any women, and neither do most of my friends.

He makes dinner plans for us with his straight friends almost every week, and I grin and bear it. They’re always old coworkers, so the whole conversation is them talking about old times or straighty talk about their children. It’s incredibly boring. He’s met my friends, and he likes some of them but dislikes others. It’s obvious that he is not comfortable relating to gay men, generally speaking. He does not seem knowledgeable about gay history or culture. For example, he strongly dislikes drag queens and never goes to gay bars. There is one woman in particular he makes dinner for every Friday night. It’s a standing date that he’s only occasionally been flexible about changing to accommodate plans for the two of us. Now he’s planning a weeklong vacation with her. When he first mentioned this trip, he asked if I would want to spend a week camping. I said no, because I don’t like camping. He immediately went forward with planning it with her. I’m pretty sure the two of them had already hatched this plan, and I don’t think he ever really wanted me to go. I think it’s WEIRD to want to go camping for an entire week with some old lady. He does other weird things, too, like belonging to a strange new-age church, which is definitely at odds with my strongly held anti-religious views. He has asked me to attend; I went once, and it made me EXTREMELY uncomfortable. The fact that I didn’t like it just turned into a seemingly unsolvable problem between us. He says I’m not being “supportive.” I need some advice on how to get past my intense feelings of aversion to the weirdness. How can I not let our differences completely destroy the relationship?

-Hopelessly Odd Man Out Differences don’t have to destroy a relationship.

Differences can actually enhance and help sustain a relationship. But for differences to have that effect, HOMO, both partners have to appreciate each other for their differences. You don’t sound appreciative—you sound contemptuous. And that’s a problem.

According to Dr. John Gottman of the Gottman Institute (a research institution dedicated to studying and strengthening marriages and other interpersonal relationships)—who says he can accurately predict divorce in 90 percent of cases—contempt is the leading predictor of divorce. “When contempt begins to overwhelm your relationship, you tend to forget entirely your partner’s positive qualities,” he writes in Why Marriages Succeed or Fail. Contempt, Gottman argues, destroys whatever bonds hold a couple together.

You’ve been together only 10 months, HOMO, and you’re not married, but it sounds like contempt has already overwhelmed your relationship. It’s not just that you dislike his friends, you’re contemptuous of them; it’s not just that you don’t share his spiritual beliefs, you’re contemptuous of them; it’s not just that his gayness is expressed in a different-than-yours-but-still-perfectly-valid way, you’re contemptuous of him as a gay man.

Because he doesn’t watch Drag Race or hang out in gay bars. Because he’s got a lot of female friends. Because he’s happy to sit and talk with his friends about their kids. (There’s nothing “straighty” about kid conversations. Gay parents take part in those conversations, too. And while we’re in this parenthesis: I can’t understand why anyone would waste their time actively disliking drag queens. But being a gay male correlates more strongly with liking dick than it does with liking drag.)

This relationship might work if you were capable of appreciating the areas where you two overlap—your shared interests (including your shared interest in each other)—and content to let him go off and enjoy his friends, his new-age church, and his standing Friday-night dinner date.

A growing body of research shows that divergent interests + some time away from each other + mutual respect = long-term relationship success.

You’re missing the “mutual respect” part—and where this formula is concerned, HOMO, two out of three ain’t enough.

Here’s how it might look if you could appreciate your differences: You’d do the things you enjoy doing together—like, say, each other—but on Friday nights, he makes dinner for his bestie and you hit the gay bars with your gay friends and catch a drag show. You would go on vacations together, but once in a while he’d go on vacation with one of his “straighty” friends, and once in a while you’d go on vacation with your gay friends. On Sundays, he’d go to woo-woo church and you’d sleep in or binge-watch Pose. You’d be happy to let him be him, and he’d be happy to let you be you— and together the two of you would add up to an interesting, harmonious, compelling “we.”

But I honestly don’t think you have it in you.

P.S. I have lots of straight friends, and I’m a parent, and sometimes I talk with other parents about our children, and I rarely go to gay bars, and I haven’t gotten around to watching Pose yet, or the most recent season of Drag Race, for that matter. It’s devastating to learn, after all these years and all those dicks, that I’m terrible at being gay.

P.P.S. If a straight person told you, “I don’t have any problem with gay men, but I don’t hang out with any gay men, and neither do most of my friends,” you’d think they had a problem with gay men, right?

I’ve been in an on-again, off-again relationship for the past four years. My girlfriend has an assortment of mental-health issues—anxiety, depersonalization episodes, depression, paranoia, among others—that make it very stressful and tiring to be with her. Despite my best attempts at getting her to seek help, she refuses to take the plunge. Whether it’s a result of her illness or not, she refuses to believe that I actually want to be with her. I do care deeply about her, and the good days are wonderful. But nearly every time we go on a date or have sex, it ends in tears, and I have to endlessly reassure her that I do really want to be with her. I’m exhausted by having to defend my feelings for her multiple times per week and I don’t know what to do.

-He’s Exhausted And Lost There’s only one thing you can do, HEAL: Put this relationship on hold—take it back to off-again status—and make getting back together contingent upon her seeking help for her mental-health issues. You’ve made it clear, again and again, that you want to be with her. By finally seeking help— by actually taking the plunge—she can make it clear that she wants to be with you.

I have a very sexy German boyfriend, and he is not circumcised. His otherwise beautiful dick is a problem. It smells—sometimes a little, sometimes it really stinks. After he showers, the smell is still there. He says he uses only water.

Is there a better way to wash an uncircumcised penis? Can he use some kind of soap?

-Girl Asks Gay4 Grooming Intervention Near Genitals Yes, GAGGING, there is a better way: He needs to wash that thing with motherfucking SOAP. If the soap he’s got is irritating the head of his penis or the inside of his foreskin, he needs to try other soaps until he finds one that cleans his dick without causing irritation. And you should make allowing that otherwise beautiful German dick anywhere near you contingent upon him learning how to clean it properly. There’s no excuse for stank-ass dick.

How has Dysphotic been evolving over the last three years?

It was purely organic. The EP we did three years ago, Ben and I just kind of shat it out. We said, ‘Let’s write some stuff, record it, get it out there, and then let’s really start writing.’ We wanted to demo what we had in mind for this band, and you can kind of hear that.

Ben and I have been writing [the new] album since the release of the EP three years ago. Some of those songs on this album are going to be three years old.

I’d sit down and come up with a riff on the spot, Ben would write the drums, it was back and forth like that.

Constantly. Two months later we had five or six songs and we were like, ‘Woah, this is going pretty fast!’

Jamming with somebody for 12 years is certainly a perk, but Ben and I have this chemistry where it just clicks. I don’t have to sit there and explain what I want from him.

Why do you think pockets of Santa Fe have embraced metal as they have?

I think of it as almost flu-type symptoms, and the symptoms are you wanna go out there and you wanna play, and you want people to be there at your show and you want it to be a good show. I think that a lot of people have that feeling. That’s kind of something that is real in the metal scene. And of course, our scene isn’t really that big, but there are always shows happening, always people coming out. We want to do something on a fucking Friday night! The closing of The Underground was a huge bummer and it’s overbooked The Cave, but … this isn’t going to die.

We’re gonna go on.

I’m doing guitar and backing vocals. I write most of the material, but [drummer] Ben Durfee actually writers some guitar parts, but most of the core riffs are from me. Ben did all the lyrics and all their placement, y’know? I’ve been calling it ‘black death.’ ...

We’re not a black metal band, we’re not a death metal band—we’re kind of both. Each song is almost from a different band; I’m kind of pulling from everywhere.

But, I’ll say there are a lot of people who say we sound like Incantation or early Morbid Angel, which are cool compliments, but it’s funny because I never really thought of it that way. A lot of people say we have a doom influence, which is pretty obvious because that’s what I played for years, but I dunno. I think ‘doom’ is a very trendy word nowadays.

The Alt Grains Drifters The culinary creations of Drift & Porter are addictively delicious

BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

N

estled among the pottery displays and jewelry stands of the Railyard Artisan Market are the gorgeous tiered cakes, layers of pastries and mouthwatering confections of Drift & Porter, Santa Fe’s latest bakery popup. It isn’t immediately obvious from the outward appearances or taste of the delicately decadent treats, but everything on the menu is vegan and gluten-free.

What is obvious within seconds of meeting founders Matthew Spano and John Partazana, however, is that they are committed to health, beauty, art and food.

They left my head spinning from the sheer joy of a conversation that leaped from current health trends, the diversity of American baked goods, the inspiration of Alexander McQueen dresses, and helping kids with serious food allergies discover the delights of biting into their rainbow cookies for the first time.

Drift & Porter opened its doors in January. Santa Fe has a mysterious magnetic power, and New York expatriates Spano and Partazana heeded the call. Spano worked in a vegan restaurant COURTESY DRIFT AND PORTER

and Partazana as a hairdresser, but each tired of the cramped and claustrophobic energy of a city with no room or opportunity to create amidst the outrageously expensive real estate. They went west.

“When we got here, I had multiple deja-vus,” says Partazana. “I almost wanted to go the hospital, it almost felt like something was wrong with my brain.

But ultimately it felt like I was home. Then there was a snowstorm, and we couldn’t go home for two weeks, so we just decided to stay. Land of Entrapment, I guess.”

Six months after opening, the menu has grown from 12 items to 28, with an emphasis on sweet rather than savory, though said savory offerings cannot be denied. One of the most popular menu items is the Brooklyn street pie ($8.50) which reliably sells out within the first hour of Sunday market appearances. It’s made with lentil, spicy fennel bean and quinoa sausage rolled in homemade American cashew cheese, roasted red pepper and caramelized onion, then baked in a rich puff pastry made from white rice flour. It’s the kind of food rarely encountered in Santa Fe: undeniably East Coast in its inspiration, reinterpreted with a gluten-free and

vegan twist. “It’s inspired by the rough, hardcore vendors on the streets of Brooklyn,” Spano says, “and these men are serious when it comes to food. Or from going to Coney Island and getting these bizarre, amazing things you can’t find anywhere else.”

But Drift & Porter’s creative vision extends far beyond East Coast roots. They constantly incorporate new themes into their baking, drawing inspiration from the worlds of fashion, art and history.

“I also used to make clothes, and I can make earrings, necklaces and all sorts of art,” Spano says. “I can get a little out of control when I see opportunity and potential, and now I want to show that gluten-free and vegan food can be really beautiful, and it’s not a sacrifice or giving up of anything.”

“Last week, we did a Marie Antoinette theme that celebrated the beauty of food in France, the lavish lushness and indulgence,” Partazana adds. “Our mantra is to keep food amazing for people without excluding them.”

In that vein, everything at Drift & Porter is gorgeous and outwardly decadent in appearance, paying tribute to pastries normally

FOOD

inaccessible to anyone with serious food allergies. For example, the whoopie pies ($6), a treat with Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch origins, are now reimagined as almond flour-based cakes filled with a wide array of vegan butter creams such as vanilla, strawberry and chocolate—but it’s a dead ringer for the real thing, luscious filling sandwiched between two soft chocolate discs that demonstrate none of the inconsistent grittiness that frequently plagues gluten-free desserts.

This is due to a high level of customization. Normally, gluten-free flour is heavy and dense, made from almond and rice, an enormous hurdle when it comes to creating light, delicate pastries.

“Each item is a different flour,” Spano points out. “We make a different blend by hand for everything, and we don’t have an all-purpose that we use across the board.”

As for excluding meat and animal byproducts, they are fully committed to celebrating plant-based options—with one caveat. “We are a fully vegan business, we do not support the replication of fake meat substitutes,” Spano emphasizes. “We want nothing mass-produced in a laboratory to try and mimic the exact texture, smell and taste of meat.” Partazana agrees. reAnd excluding eggs, cream, milk, re fined sugars and artificial dyes? Both men treat it as an opportunity to flex their creative muscles. After all, the ultimate inspiration is the customers. “It’s such a spiritual connection, and that’s why we want to keep moving and keep growing,” Partazana says. “There’s a light that turns on in people’s eyes, and it’s like their inner child comes out right in front of me.”

ission: Impossible - Fallout, the franchise’s sixth installment, throws away coherency and realism, replacing these with palpable tension and absurd action pieces. Ghosts of Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise) past come back to haunt him as a cache of plutonium is lost on his watch, and it’s up to the Impossible Missions Force (ugh) to combat a group of terrorists called The Apostles in retrieving it. Fans of the series will appreciate the gunplay, fistfights, mask-wearing and daredevil stunts provided by Cruise, anyone else will find a serviceable action flick that works OK for late summer.

Cruise is loose—hydrated and unstoppable, remarkable for a 56-year-old actor. Henry Cavill (Man From UNCLE), meanwhile, looks as if he’s been sleeping in his car for the last few weeks.

He’s so puffy, he can’t fully put his arms down.

Ving Rhames is surprisingly soulful as Luther Stickell, however, and his long-standing relationship with Cruise’s Ethan Hunt takes the forefront, further strengthening their 23-year bond.

Elsewhere, Rebecca Ferguson (Life) has the most spectacular character entrance in the film,

and although she is underused, she is easily the biggest scene-stealer. Simon Pegg further proves he belongs in the series with some of the best scenes coming from his familiarity with every single recurring character. Alec Baldwin shows up, too, basically playing himself, but Angela Bassett capably counters his forgiving-father archetype with a stern mother character as head of the CIA. Sean Harris, the stereotypical villain, growls and makes threats. An honorable mention does go to True Detective alum Michelle Monaghan as it was particularly nice to see her come back to the series.

Christopher McQuarrie returns as well as series writer/director, following up his success with the fifth installment, Rogue Nation. McQuarrie’s

directing style is competent enough as far as action scenes go, but between the too-frequent double crosses and an excess of cheesy lines (21 by this author’s rough count), his writing skills feel weak. The sets and cinematography simultaneously scream “pretty” and “fake.”

Still, as we approach late summer, there are far worse choices. Fallout is as silly as it comes, but at least it isn’t a disappointment.

LEAVE NO TRACE

+ IT’S A HEART-WRENCHING THINKER - MINIMAL STORYTELLING LEAVES LOTS UNDONE

For a movie based on the post-service experiences of disturbed veteran, the soundscape of Leave No Trace is stunning in its quiet. Not just its lack of flashbacks, mind you, but its pensive non-verbal communication—all the sounds you don’t hear.

For a movie that takes place largely in the dripping wet woods of the Pacific Northwest, the complexity of the plot is fitting in its density. There are few rewards in being such an outsider that even your own footprint creates a sense of unease. But that is the life that Will (Ben Foster, ) lives, in complete survivalist mode, and thus the life in which he leads his daughter Tom (Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie).

The backstory of where and when he served and what happened to Tom’s mother isn’t important in this telling, although we admit we crave more of that. The unknowns of how they came to live on public land are still gnawing days after our viewing. Foster conveys gruff love with deep eyes since his face is largely hidden under a golden beard, and Tom’s own chin does some of her biggest heaves as it quivers under the weight of her coming of age.

“The same thing that’s wrong with you,” she says at a pivotal moment, “isn’t wrong with me.”

The two characters get all the artistic focus of director Debra Granik, known for her griping Missouri woods rendition of Winter’s Bone; Leave No Trace is also adapted from a novel, by Peter Rock, which that author says is based on a true

story. This one’s also solemn and unjust as the pair suffers the intervention of social services. It feels true enough: the rules our society imposes, the way in which for many those rules are just too much to bear. And how we don’t have much room, really, for figuring out a way to loosen the bondage to allow for healing. (Julie Ann Grimm) Violet Crown, PG, 109 min.

When Portland, Oregon-based cartoonist John Callahan died in 2010 at 59 years old, the New York Times obituary wasted no time in hitting on descriptions like “paraplegic” and “alcoholic.” Yes, Callahan did find himself wheelchair-bound after a night of over-drinking led to a car accident—he wasn’t even driving—but in Gus Van Sant’s retelling of Callahan’s life story, Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot (based on the book by Callahan), the moral winds up landing fairly far from cautionary drunk driving tale, instead asking us to question our own motivations, forgive when possible and, ultimately, to choose life.

Callahan is here portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, one of contemporary film’s most committed character actors. As Callahan, Phoenix captures an eerie combination of charming and asshole, from the self-pitying early days of his paralysis to the barely restrained joy of becoming the regular cartoonist for Willamette Week (SFR’s sister paper, by the way). It’s no solo journey, however, and Jonah Hill’s turn as Callahan’s sponsor Donnie is surprisingly rich for the usually goofy actor.

Perhaps he’s growing as a performer?

Regardless, and despite the film’s best efforts, Donnie’s story is overshadowed by Callahan—which may seem obvious given the central premise, but when we discover Donnie died of AIDS, the news is delivered fleetingly; short shrift for a savior role, but again—this is Callahan’s journey.

And it is triumphant, all things considered.

We watch as he slowly regains relative use of his hands and develops his illustrative style; we cheer as he builds a relationship with his onetime physical therapist Annu (Rooney Mara); we feel alongside Callahan as he searches for the mother who gave him up for adoption.

But as we wonder whether we could survive paralysis (or would even want to), Don’t Worry dips painfully close to boring. It’s certainly fun to see punk rock legends like Kim Gordon and Carrie Brownstein tackle minimal roles as a fellow alcoholic and a social worker, respectively, but outside of the moment wherein you recognize them, we’re talking characters who ultimately have very little to do with anything. Even Jack Black’s appearance as the ill-fated driver in Callahan’s accident feels almost unimportant, or at least like it could have been just anyone in the role.

Still, the film grows on you, leading the charge from a deep place of depression to something akin to redemption, or at least self-forgiveness. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, R, 114 min.

+ AN ORGY OF JUMP CUTS; CHUCK D

STANDING BY HIS LYRICS - ELVIS AS METAPHOR? MEH

The lead-up to the 2016 presidential election horrified half the country or more, forcing into mainstream discussion whether the republic itself would atrophy as badly as the American dream already had. To illustrate the derangement, filmmaker Eugene Jarecki (Freakonomics, Why We Fight) laid hands on Elvis Presley’s shitbox of a 1963 Rolls Royce, retrofitted it with cameras and drove across the nation as Americans considered whether to send Donald Trump to the White House.

Jarecki slapped Elvis’ life, career and deathon-a-toilet over the nation’s sordid history, visiting living rooms in the King’s birthplace of Tupelo, Mississippi, filling the backseat of the Rolls with a parade of incredible musicians and piping in sad interview clips of Elvis lamenting his loneliness to tell viewers that capitalism will eventually eat itself. David Simon (creator of The Wire and current Twitter exile) complains that Jarecki should’ve used one of Elvis’ madein-America Cadillacs—the Rolls breaks down several times, notably with alt-country growler Mary Gauthier about to belt out a tune in the back seat.

Van Jones (former Obama aide, current CNN host) bigfoots Jarecki, schooling him up on how Elvis was nothing more than cultural appropriation personified; Public Enemy’s Chuck D says fuck all that, “culture is culture,” but stands by the famous lyric from “Fight the Power:” “Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant shit to me you see, straight-up racist that sucker was.”

The film’s exploration of massive, difficult themes is nakedly ambitious, as was Elvis’ insatiable grab for money, fame and everything that comes with them. Ethan Hawke appears to have made much of the trip with Jarecki, and Hawke tosses a bow around the metaphor by describing Elvis as a perfect symbol for imperial America, whose chief export once was democracy but now is capitalism. It’s probably a reach, and the comparison struggles in spots— though the surprise of it and the interspersal of old footage of everything from the Vietnam war to Elvis’ final performance delighted us.

The nighttime shots make the film luxurious and drippy, and Jarecki has sorted a way to stitch together a million jump cuts without making us dizzy. But this is no happy repackaging of either the Presley or American myths. Still, EmiSunshine wailing away in the back of that Rolls brings just enough feels to even the scales.

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU

8

+ SNEAKS UP ON YOU; MAGIC REALISM - SOME LOOSE THREADS; SOME SUPERFLUOUS SCENES

Fans of Donald Glover’s bizarrely brilliant TV series Atlanta will no doubt recognize Lakieth Stanfield (also of Get Out fame) as the sidekick to Paper Boi, Darius. As Cassius in Sorry to Bother You from writer/director Boots Riley, Stanfield brings a similar subtle vulnerability to his first big-screen starring role.

Cassius is a struggling Oakland resident with an artsy girlfriend who is probably too good for him (Westworld’s Tessa Thompson in white might be her most natural performance yet), a goofy pal and a new job with a multitiered telemarketing firm. But when his low-paid coworkers attempt to unionize, Cassius is forced to choose between standing on the side of what’s right or finally making a decent living. As always, those in power wind up being evil.

With a little help from screen vet Danny Glover, Stanfield’s character adopts a white voice (David Cross) to help close sales.

His stats skyrocket and he is thrust into the highest echelons of the company—a place where his boss (played by Common and voiced

by Patton Oswalt) can spin arms sales and legalized slavery as good things, a place where one of the telemarketing firm’s clients (Armie Hammer) spouts off-handed racist claptrap

SHOCK AND AWE

7

+ FEELS SO GOOD TO BE RIGHT - PRETTY HEAVY-HANDED AT TIMES

A baby-faced American soldier, wheelchairbound, glides silently across a courtroom floor and explains to a judge that he was boots-onthe-ground in Iraq for precisely three hours when a roadside IED tore through his squad, severing his spinal cord and killing the rest.

“How the hell does this happen?” he angrily asks.

This question is at the center of Rob Reiner’s Shock and Awe, a drama about the post9/11 era of Bush-Cheney, the occupation of Iraq and the dangerous implications of a government lying to its people. But it’s also a tale of heroic journalism against seemingly insurmountable odds and a sort of early-aughts parallel to that most famous newspaper movie of all time, All the President’s Men. It’s here we meet Warren Strobel (James Marsden) and Jonathan Landay (Woody Harrelson), two very real Knight-Ridder journos who unearthed the absurd motivations behind war in the Middle East post-9/11 despite a shocking lack of evidence, alongside their valiant chief editor John Walcott (Reiner). As the rest of the country’s mainstream media pushes out the government’s false narrative (remember when the New York Times apologized to its readers?), Strobel and Landay follow the actual facts, reporting the truth as their friends and family and even the American public doubt their credibility and work.

Today, of course, we know these men to have been right—Hussein may have been evil,

but he certainly didn’t possess WMDs, nor was he in cahoots with Bin Laden; Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and Bush and Cheney were … well, fuck ’em, we should’ve been in Afghanistan— the point is, these journalists were right and eventually acknowledged for their fine work and bravery. God bless the Fourth Estate, right?

Still, for every satisfying moment or silly little in-joke about copy editing, there are truly perplexing choices. Like if the journalist Joe Galloway (Tommy Lee Jones) was so vital to Strobel and Landay’s ongoing good work, why is the role relegated to a few tired lines about how he’s old or how glory is for the young folk?

And that war veteran from before? We catch snippets of his journey from small town boy to disabled former soldier, but as far as Shock and Awe’s “they’re sending your kids to a needless death!” agenda goes, it seems painfully underdeveloped and all too brief. Borderline emotionally manipulative, even. Perhaps Reiner was really just looking to illustrate his point— y’know, to really drive it home—but they feel like scenes from a different film. And besides, we were pissed off enough already.

Shock and Awe paints a fine history lesson, though, and a provides a good reminder that the good old US of A would be a hell of a lot more terrifying if there weren’t brave newspaper folk who’ve made it their lives’ work to shine a light on powerful assholes being assholes. Wow. Who would’ve thought a movie about kickass journalism would resonate with us? (ADV) Jean Cocteau Cinema, R, 90 min.

Oh, Common—you’ve stolen our hearts yet again, this time in director Boots Riley’s newest, Sorry to Bother You. and spearheads an utterly dark special project.

Cassius becomes unfortunately privy to said project and hijinks ensue, yes, but also social commentary and terrifyingly strange conditions punctuate the sad-funny jabs at modern America.

Sorry to Bother You transforms just before the final act from an Office Space-esque riffing on contemporary office culture to a silly—though not entirely unthinkable—nightmare akin to Jordan Peele’s critically adored Get Out. The film’s descent into glorious controlled chaos is so sudden and jarring that we don’t have time to catch our breath before we are forced to accept the sci-fi lite absurdity. And we do so with relish; empathizing with Cassius as a man who finally felt like someone, but hating him for how he does it; fearing the corporatization of everything under the sun and the subsequent deregulated madness, but identifying with the powerlessness of the working class all through the fever dream insanity of Cassius’ meteoric rise and humiliating fall.

GIRLIE and her two adult “kids”, BUDDY and INKY were surrendered to us by their family who moved into a situation where they could no longer care for the cats. TEMPERAMENT: GIRLIE is a very sweet and gentle cat. We are hoping to place the family together. However, she might also do well in a home with a retired person. GIRLIE has lovely markings similar to those found in purebred “Van” cats. BUDDY is a handsome boy with tabby patches and color markings similar to a “Van”, like his mom. INKY is the smallest of the cats. She has lovely tabby patched markings and the facial features of an American shorthair which is similar to the British Shorthair breed. AGE: BUDDY and INKY were born approx. 7/20/06.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny

Week of August 1st

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Palestinian American writer Susan Abulhawa writes that in the Arab world, to say a mere “thank you” is regarded as spiritless and ungenerous. The point of communicating gratitude is to light up with lively and expressive emotions that respond in kind to the kindness bestowed. For instance, a recipient may exclaim, “May Allah bless the hands that give me this blessing,” or “Beauty is in the eyes that find me beautiful.”

In accordance with current astrological omens, I propose that you experiment with this approach. Be specific in your praise. Be exact in your appreciation. Acknowledge the unique mood and meaning of each rich exchange.

43 percent since 2000. According to journalist Madeleine Schwartz writing in Garage magazine, historians of rhinoplasty say there has been a revival of appreciation for the distinctive character revealed in an unaltered nose. I propose, Libra, that in accordance with current astrological omens, we extrapolate some even bigger inspiration from that marvelous fact. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to celebrate and honor and express pride in your idiosyncratic natural magnificence.
