FOOD, JUNE 8: “SAZÓN: YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL”

DELIGHTED DINERS We are two friends who just had lunch at Sazón. Both of us have lived in Santa Fe for 40 years. Sazón is a refreshing masterpiece of modern Mexican cuisine, actually, luminous Oaxaca flavors. The tacos are not just street tacos, they are divine little corners of one of the most exotic cities in the world.

After reading the review of Sazón by Gwyneth Doland, we felt sorry that she was unable to fully appreciate the delightful lunch we experienced today. We feel so fortunate as locals to have such fabulous new flavors that are authentic, totally unique and like nothing we have in Santa Fe. This is for locals, like us, who love to be educated about food from other regions of our history.

We look forward to the next experience at Sazón.

ater at best. Mayor Javier Gonzales started things off by saying he was the MC for the evening; he introduced speakers. This was not a party. Two faith leaders both used their time oddly: Adam Ortega y Ortiz brought up the reconquest of Santa Fe, and Talitha Arnold kept reminding us that her church likes gay people. Brian Egolf congratulated himself and other politicians on their progressiveness. Miranda Viscoli from New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence spoke the longest, mentioning that the attack was a hate crime against gay people as a brief point to bolster her pleas for more legislation on guns.

Forty-five minutes into the event, people representing the LGBTQI+ community were finally allowed to speak. Not one of the three queer speakers brought up gun laws or regulations. They spoke about oppression, phobias and being together in these times. All three together took less time than that allotted Viscoli.

There were no candles. No altar to leave flowers. This was not solidarity with Orlando or the LGBTQI+ community.

This was hollow politics masquerading as acceptance and love. It was about something, but that something was not the LGBTQI+ community or its needs.

The first role of ally-ship is to not make it about yourself. I demand more of my city and my leaders in times of crisis.

You shouldn’t be shocked by this. This is the state where just a few years ago, a gun shop held a coyotekilling contest and offered to use the pelts to make coats for the homeless.

But enough of that. I have some very exciting personal news.

As you’ve probably read, New Mexico has created a Department for Animal Cruelty, to pioneer new heights of inhumanity to God’s creatures. And guess what? I’ve been appointed to head the department!

et’s play a game. You try to name the only state in the US that doesn’t have an approved plan to identify and protect soonto-be-endangered wildlife species.

Give up? It’s New Mexico, the state that likes to figure out the least it can do for its animals, and then do even less. I know I’ve used that line before, but I do like to quote myself.

Last year, the New Mexico State Game Commission held a public hearing to discuss an endangered wildlife plan for this state. I’ve seen the official transcript, and while I’d love to tell you what your fellow citizens had to say at the hearing, I can’t.

Almost all of the citizen comments are marked “inaudible” or “indiscernible.”

So much for the public having a voice. So much for the public record. The Land of Enchantment can’t afford a decent recording system? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? The commission wasn’t happy with the proposed plan, partly because the list included about 400 species. That really isn’t very many.

Arizona has 810 species in its plan.

One of our commissioners said, out loud, “I’m thinking, what’s our top 10 here and focus on those.” I’m not making this up. It’s in the transcript. I’ll bet the commission wishes it had been inaudible.

It didn’t matter whether there were 455 species or 10, because eventually the commission rejected the whole plan, as well as the millions of dollars in federal

Yes, I finally sold out. I realized what the hunters and trappers have known all along: There’s a lot more money in cruelty than in kindness.

I’ve made some preliminary proposals, so we can hit the ground running. My first is to turn the Albuquerque Zoo into a big-game hunting range. Imagine what trophy hunters will pay for one of those heads on their wall! Of course, the Cincinnati Zoo recently got out in front of us on that idea, what with killing that poor gorilla, but we’ll catch up.

But here’s the revolutionary idea that won me the job. Are you ready?

You know Bosque del Apache, New Mexico’s nationally revered wildlife preserve, where thousands of snow geese, cranes and other birds seek refuge in the marshes and then take predawn flight in a thunderous flapping of wings? Seeing it in person is an experience breathtaking beyond description.

My idea? Two words: bird hunting.

Brilliant, right? Close the place to those nutty bird-watchers and open it up to high-paying hunters! Even the most inept “sportsman” on earth is going to leave with something, because when those birds take off en masse, you just point your shotgun straight up, pull the trigger and hold out your hands. “Honey, fetch the charcoal, we’re eatin’ crane tonight!”

I know, you’re asking, “Bob, how will you ever, ever top an idea like that?”

Well, let’s just say I’m working on a few surprises for all those pesky homeless dogs and cats living in luxury in animal shelters around our state. Let’s just leave it at that, for the time being.

Federally Federally insured insuredbyby NCUA NCUA

The New Mexico Supreme Court issued a warning to judges this week: Be careful what you post on social media lest you impugn the notion of impartiality.

An opinion filed on Monday reversed a murder conviction, finding that a forensic analyst’s testimony over Skype violated the defendant’s right to confront an adverse witness.

In the court’s ruling, Chief Justice Charles Daniels also took the time to admonish former judge Samuel Winder for posts he made to a Facebook page set up for a 2012 re-election campaign.

At the time, Winder was running to keep his seat on the 2nd Judicial District bench. He eventually lost.

“I am on the third day of presiding over my ‘first’ first-degree murder trial as a judge,” Winder wrote.

In another post, written after the verdict, but before sentencing, Winder wrote, “In the trial I presided over, the jury returned guilty verdicts for firstdegree murder and kidnapping just

after lunch. Justice was served. Thank you for your prayers.”

Through his attorneys, accused murderer Truett Thomas said Winder’s social media posts showed judicial bias.

While the opinion does not rule on that assertion, the court took the opportunity to offer some best practices for judges who use Facebook and other social media platforms.

“While we make no bright-line ban prohibiting judicial use of social media, we caution that ‘friending,’ online postings, and other activity can easily be misconstrued and create an appearance of impropriety,” Daniels wrote.

Reached on the phone, Winder, who is now an Albuquerque-based private practice attorney, tells SFR, “No one questioned my impartiality during the trial or after. We’ve all learned from this new medium, and judges should never make any comments on Facebook.” (Steven Hsieh)

Taking a Stand After an investigative reporter for SFR did the work that state prosecutors could have done, now they want him to testify in a fraud case against a former state lawmaker.

Ten months after he bolted from the Roundhouse and resigned his Senate seat, Phil Griego was charged

by Attorney General Hector Balderas with bribery, solicitation, three counts of fraud, filing a false financial disclosure statement, tampering with government records and two counts of violating “ethical principles of public service” when he financially benefited from legislation that enabled the sale of a historic state property in Santa Fe. Griego, 67, has pleaded not guilty to the crimes, and in two weeks, his legal defense team, headed by Santa Fe attorney Thomas Cole, will try to convince District Judge Brett Loveless to determine there is no probable cause to proceed to trial.

But first, the judge will hear motions on whether Peter St. Cyr, the

journalist who broke the story about the deal in a 2014 story, should be compelled to participate in the trial. It’s not a position a journalist ever wants to be in. Prosecutors are seeking to authenticate Griego’s voice on a recording St. Cyr made during a long telephone call just a few weeks before the story published. Colin Hunter, representing St. Cyr, is asking a judge to keep him off the stand. Statements Griego made during the course of his reporting, Hunter argues, are protected under the New Mexico News Media Confidential Source or Information Privilege, a rule that provides journalists a privilege to refuse to disclose their sources and any confidential information obtained in the course of pursuing a story. That hearing is scheduled for June 27. (SFR)

Will La Cienega bus service survive after a six-month trial?

BY STEV E N H SI E H steven@s fre p o r te r.co m

omas Chacon glances at his wristwatch as he waits for a bus outside La Cienega’s community center. Roosters crow and trucks speed past on a dirt road. “You’ve got nine minutes, Lisa! I’m timing you,” he says, referring to the driver assigned to this route since it started running about three months ago.

Chacon needed to pick up medication from the Albertsons near Santa Fe Place Mall. In 2004, while towing cars for scrap metal, a brown recluse spider bit him in the right leg, sending him to the hospital for a month and making him eligible for an $830 monthly disability check—now his sole source of income. He’s lived in a La Cienega trailer with his son, an auto mechanic, for three years.

The 60-year-old man structures his morning around this trip, as he does two to three times a week.

Once he gets to the mall, he’s stuck there until 11:47 am, when the first southbound bus departs. It’s a 15-minute walk (with a limp) from the drop-off point to his trailer.

Before Blue Buses started running in his community, Chacon would hitch a ride with his neighbor to pick up his prescription. “But since this ride started, I figured a little exercise won’t hurt,” he says. “I think this is the best thing they could have ever done.

There are a lot of poor people out here who cannot afford a taxi.”

La Cienega, a predominately Hispanic community of about 4,000, has a per capita income of just over $17,000, according to the 2010 US Census. Most commuters using the taxpayer-funded North Central Regional Transit District public bus network are part of households that make less than that. The free six-month pilot route to La Cienega started rolling in March, making 14 weekday stops, including the Human Services Department office and Walmart Supercenter, before culminating at the Santa Fe Place

Tomas Chacon takes the new La Cienega Blue Bus two to three times per week.

Mall. The Route 260 buses will also serve Los Golondrinas for the Santa Fe Wine Festival on July 2 and 3 and the ¡Viva Mexico! Celebration on July 16 and 17.

According to Jim Nagle, public information officer for the transit district, demand for the route came from Las Golondrinas museum reps hoping to draw more tourists, as well as from La Cienega Valley residents wanting easier access to medical services and shopping. The closest store, an Allsup’s off Highway 14, sits about five miles north of the community center.

The route is the latest development in an effort to expand access to transportation in a service area encompassing Santa Fe, Rio Arriba and Taos counties. Last fall, the district launched a seasonal service from the city to the Santa Fe ski basin, which ended service early April and begins again July 1 to shuttle hikers and bikers.

While more than 4,000 riders shelled out the $5 to get up the Mountain Trail during ski season, La Cienega got off to a much slower start. Seven riders took the bus in March, according to a tally conducted

by Lisa, the bus driver. April saw 27 riders. And in May, that number increased to 45. Anthony Mortillaro, transit district executive director, says there isn’t a threshold to determine whether the route keeps running after the six-month trial, but he adds

that the growth “looks promising.”

“If people have never had transit services, you have to work on attracting them to it, making it convenient, making sure it’s reliable,” Mortillaro says.

“Hopefully, they’ll try it. And they’ll find it suitable for them.”

For what it’s worth, Chacon has tried to do his part. When a neighbor expressed interest in the bus, Chacon invited him to tag along one morning. “But he is too lazy to walk,” Chacon says. “I tell him to get his ass up.”

On Wednesday morning, the bus pulls up just after 8:09 am, the arrival time listed on the schedule.

“Come on, Lisa. You’re running behind again!” he says to the driver as he boards the bus. “I’m going to have to tell you off again.”

Lisa teases Chacon that he knows the time because she’s given him “10,000 copies” of the schedule since the route began.

Ridership on the new line varies dramatically.

Some days, Lisa picks up six people; some days, none.

But it’s a scenic drive, with or without passengers. “I like to see all the animals. They have a lot of sheep and peacocks and goats and cows and horses,” she says, adding that she hands out lots of schedules for passengers’ friends and families.

No one else gets on the bus that morning.

alter Cooper once worked on Madison Avenue for internationally recognized ad agency, J Walter Thompson. He was a copywriter for major accounts while living in both New York City and Tokyo. Cooper fell into advertising, he says, because it allowed him the opportunity to pull a stable paycheck but still maintain some semblance of creativity.

“Have you seen Mad Men?” he asks. “That show was actually pretty true to form when it comes to what it was like … there was a lot of pressure; there was a lot of drinking.”

“I wasn’t living openly then. I mean, a lot of people weren’t, but I realized that I wanted to live in a different kind of place, and I wanted to be somewhere I could experiment with my art,” he reminisces. “In those days, my uncle was the managing editor of the New Mexican; I came out to visit, just to see family for a week, and even though it was only a week, it was very apparent there were already a lot of gay and lesbian people here, and they were living their lives in a very open way.”

This was in 1970, and by 1973, Cooper was living in Santa Fe full time. It was, he says, an exciting time, not just for the LGBTQ+ crowd (before those letters were event a thing), but also for artists who worked in all conceivable mediums. Without having to fear ire for being who he was at long last, Cooper was allowed to thrive alongside his contemporaries, many

pride of whom are respected and well-known local artists to this day.

“Santa Fe was unique and accepting, and there were a lot of gay people here who were very serious artists, as opposed to Sunday painters,” Cooper says. “Many of them were like me: young people who were trying to figure out how to start out and find careers as artists or photographers or musicians or poets or potters. … Back then, the town was full of young people, maybe because it wasn’t as expensive as it is now—I was able to buy a house a block from the Capitol that first year for $17,000—but times have really changed, and it isn’t exactly cheap anymore.”

Still, Cooper and his fellow gay artists did face hatred from time to time. Many would frequent a gay club on Galisteo Street called The Senate, and he recalls that they would sometimes be screamed at or have bottles thrown at them.

“They’d call us ‘joto’ or ‘mariposa’’ and there was gay bashing or sometimes fights,” he says, “but overall, I have to say that Santa Fe remained a very welcoming place for gays, and that was incredibly helpful to young artists.”

By the late 1970s and early 1980s, the gallery system we now know was on the rise, but it wasn’t unusual for artists to show their work with more ease than during today’s engorged Canyon Road nonsense. This allowed Cooper to show his paintings but also to dabble in various mediums such as silkscreen prints, ab-stract acrylic paintings and writing. He’d made art while working in advertising, but never had he enjoyed the freedom to create at his own pace and in his own styles.

“My first show was at St. John’s College, and I was a part of Hill’s Gallery, which was the first exclusively contemporary gallery in town, and in those days, the openings would last,” he says. “The after-parties would go all night, and the community was small, whereas now galleries are just a business, and if you’re not selling, you’re not showing, but I made a living at this for nearly 25 years, until my sales began to fade.”

He would turn to writing and has since released three books. His first was called Shards and reflected upon his years in advertising. Briefs: A Virile Display of Verse Witty and Gay would follow and feature poetry based upon his life. His newest book, Unbuttoned: Gay Life in the Santa Fe Arts Scene, examines his experiences over three decades.

The self-published memoir, available at local bookstores and online, recounts almost everything from his first forays into Santa Fe gay and arts cultures to the tragic early ’80s days of HIV/AIDS, an epidemic that Cooper says “hit like a tidal wave and killed something like 40 guys I knew.” With sharp prose and clever wit, he brings the focus out of the dark days of AIDS and into the ’90s, as gay culture became more commonplace yet more scattered. One can almost feel Cooper’s longing for the past, but his portrayal of the community never wanders into selfpity; instead, we can appreciate his strong sense of nostalgia.

Unbuttoned is a fascinating who’s-who of local talent and a thorough overview of Cooper’s place

Cooper’s fly mustache was perfect in this flier for his two-man art show with Douglas Atwill in 1981.

in laying the roots of the local arts scene, many of which are still in place today. A must-read for Santa Feans, not just in the gay community but for anyone who thinks they know local art, the book presents a picture of the years when Santa Fe was a glorious artistic paradise where those who had been afraid could find family and acceptance, and creativity was unaffected by commerce, thereby reaching an alltime high. These days, Cooper sticks to writing, but he still looks back fondly on the years he says shaped

our local arts scene.

“I don’t want to be one of these people who says, ‘Oh, you should have seen it back then,’ because that’s just boring,” he says, showing the slyest of smiles. “This town is full of good stories to this day, and I guess that’s why I wrote the book; this is my town, this is my home, and though I can’t help but be nostalgic for my youth and for those years when the gay community had more of a presence, I love this place; I truly do.”

Peer support alliance can be a safe place for queer teens

iscovering who you are, thinking about who you want to be and determining how you want others to see you starts to take shape in your adolescent years. And then you search to find a place and a group of people for acceptance, support and encouragement.

For Lilia Morris-Wright and other teens who don’t neatly fit into the gender binary or who have sexuality that’s difficult to define, the place is Santa Fe Mountain Center.

The 16-year-old doesn’t want to be called he or she, but prefers to use the pronoun “they.” It’s a distinction that requires far less explanation than one may think and is among the reasons why the work of the center’s New Mexico Genders and Sexualities Alliance is so critical.

“It gives you a network of people who you know support you in a very specific way,” says the soon-to-be11th grader at New Mexico School for the Arts. “As a young person, you are sort of just coming into the world and facing all of the craziness that comes with it, and when you are a queer or transgender, it can be very overwhelming; the alliance gives you a space where people understand that and have similar experiences to yours.”

Morris-Wright was invited to become a member of the youth council at the alliance after attending an overnight camp. Youth support from their peers in the LGBTQ community is the best kind: “You may have counselors or parents or people who are reaching out to support you,

As a member of the youth council for the New Mexico Genders and Sexualities Alliance, Lilia MorrisWright wants other teens to find a network of understanding.

but they may not understand what you’re going through the way other youth understand,” Morris-Wright says.

LuzMarina Serrano, a staff member at the Mountain Center who runs the alliance, says the group is especially important in times of tragedy, like the big blow from the Orlando nightclub shooting, she says. “I can’t imagine being 15 years old and seeing something like that and thinking, Wow, that could be me.”

Sawyer Sverre-Harrell, 17, says he found the alliance at a time when “I was questioning my gender [and] wasn’t sure who to reach out to,” he tells SFR. “I found myself very at home,” says Sverre-Harrell, a theater program student at NMSA. “It felt right to be there.” That was two years ago, and he has been a part of the youth council ever since. “You can really find your true friends and family there, when you are kind of lacking that at home.”

“In New Mexico, there aren’t a lot of resources for LGBTQ youth,” adds Chloe Fox, who begins her junior year at Santa Fe Prep in the fall. “It creates a safe space for people to cultivate and express themselves without worry of being discriminated against.”

A handful of good people (straight people) held onto me, and I survived. This is why visibility, for me, is everything. I once heard a drag queen say that when it came to being physically harassed, the real pain is that next time you go out, you check yourself for fear that you will be seen for who you really are.

I choose to no longer be afraid, but to present myself to the world as I am. Visibility means being honest about myself, despite the risk of harassment or even physical harm. To be visible is to reject normalcy and stand in solidarity with those who must hide, those who live in fear and those who couldn’t pass for normal if they tried. By being recognizably queer, I am trying to change the way we are perceived and hopefully make room for everyone to be authentically themselves.

et ready for the rainbows, the glitter and the gyrating. Back downtown for the third year again after a foray to the Railyard, Santa Fe Pride’s 2016 celebrations this weekend are taking a few cues from bigger celebrations, with a five-part lineup on the Bandstand. SFR caught up with local organizer Richard Brethour-Bell, former board president for the Santa Fe Human Rights Alliance and also a regional director of InterPride, an international organization of Pride organizers that helped him visit Pride parties in other communities.

SFR: Some objected to our use of the word “humble” to describe Santa Fe Pride. What do you think about that?

RBB: I don’t have any problem with that word at all. I think we can be quite sensitive at times, but I think there was nothing wrong with the word “humble.” That didn’t imply that it was insignificant. But when you compare it to LA Pride or New York Pride or San Francisco Pride, I think “humble” is a pretty nice way

of describing our Pride. … It’s a small town. I think we get a lot of people from California, from Texas, from New York, who move here. This is what they are used to, these bigger Prides. So when they come here and see a smaller one, it can be an adjustment for them. Last year I think was probably the most successful Pride that we’ve had in Santa Fe. Because our tickets to the festival are free, we really don’t know how many people were there, but the city told us that they would estimate a crowd of approximately 3,000 people. So for us, that’s pretty good. For 3,000 people to be on the Plaza in a four- to five-hour period, that is pretty good. I am hoping that we have that if not more this year.

Pride began as a commemoration of the Stonewall riots, where people rose up against police actions targeting gays. Is today’s pride for the gay community or the community at large?

I think what happens with marginalized communities is that when we are threatened in any way, we close ranks.

And I understand that. We need to regroup and figure out what our next move is going to be. But we certainly don’t want to exclude our allies. Or

I do think it’s a bad thing.

I think the reason why we don’t have a gay club here has more to do with the apathy of the LGBT community.

What would you like to see the people of Santa Fe do to work on addressing this, to change that?

I think we need a more united community, and this can’t just be a gay thing.

The civil rights movement wasn’t successful simply because of black people.

There are other groups that were involved. We can’t do this all alone, and so we need our straight allies to confront hate speech and hate teaching when they hear it, whether young or old, and say, “That’s not cool. That is unacceptable. It’s not funny, it’s not a

Quite honestly, we do not know the future of HRA and of Santa Fe Pride, and I have said that if the LGBT community wants this, they have to be involved.

MUSIC JAZZ BROS “We’ve played together for, oh, 18 years, and we’ll keep doing it until we do it right,” jazz pianist Bert Dalton jokes of his long partnership with bassist Milo Jaramillo. The pair plays an upcoming evening of Latin and Brazilian jazz at El Mesón. “It’s such an intimate space where the musicians and audiences can connect,” Dalton (sitting, at left) adds, “and we’ve been very fortunate that they provide a space for music.”

Dalton says that Jaramillo will sing a few songs and adds that while the pair is professional, they’re not above a few novelty songs now and again. Sounds fun. (Alex De Vore) Bert Dalton and Milo Jaramillo: 7 pm Thursday, June 23. Free. El Mesón, 213 Washington Ave., 983-6756

Healing Powers

Local artist creates beauty from trauma had power over them,” she says. “We talk about their struggles, their past, their heritage—they are very much a part of the process.”

She speaks about one piece in particular that features a Diné woman, the one who had cancer twice. “She used a lot of traditional medicine in her healing,” Herrera notes, “so there is a feather in her hand. Her sister gave it to her.”

Over 20 women have been featured thus far, most of whom have been friends, or friends of friends, in their 20s and 30s. But as her project, now in its third year, has gained recognition, she has seen interest from a more diverse group of women; one of her future subjects, for example, is 65 years old.

“Women are resilient and multidimensional beings,” the Herrera says.

“I am trying to humanize the female and tell the story—it’s part of their beauty.” (Maria Egolf-Romero) THRICE OPENING RECEPTION: 5-8 pm Saturday, June 25. Free.

The smallest piece in weaver Polly Barton’s upcoming show, opening at the William Siegal Gallery on Friday, is about 30 inches wide and 40 inches long, and it took quite some time to complete. “I would say there is at least three months from design, to dyeing, to weaving,” Barton, who weaves on a traditional Japanese loom designed to make kimonos says. She dyes her silk personally and is best known for the ikat process she employs. With her latest weavings, Barton enters new material territory.

“Three of the pieces have a new fiber that’s made in Japan that is silk wrapped around a metal or copper coil,” she says. (MER) Gardens: 5-7 pm Friday June 24. William Siegal Gallery, 540 S Guadalupe St., 820-3300

MUSIC INTIMATE SETTINGS Brock Scott, lead singer of Little Tybee, says the members of his folk-ish band have an easy time writing together. Hell, they’ve been doing it for 12 years. “It’s almost stream-of-consciousness writing,” Scott tells SFR. “It’s a style of music that never lets you get too comfortable, but it’s accessible.” The group played GiG two years ago, and Scott says they are excited to be back. “It’s more of a listening room,” he says of the small venue. The group usually plays to audiences of anywhere between 300 and 2,000 people, so, he says, “it’s a unique experience to see us in that setting.” (MER)

Therapeutic storytelling is the focus of Jodie Herrera’s work, and her paintings feature photorealistic women in the foreground, symbols and geometric shapes painted in petal and earth tones behind them. “All of the women who are a part of the project have a story that is carried through the painting,” Herrera says of Thrice, which opens at Van Loon Gallery on Saturday, June 25, at 5 pm.

The artist creates the works on wood with oil paint and leaves much of the naked canvas exposed behind the women, whose bodies are depicted in black. The contrast pulls your eye to the women; it makes you feel their presence. Each of the women Herrera paints is a survivor. “They have gone through traumatic experiences,” she says, “from heroin addiction to a woman who has had cancer twice. All these things we may see as taboo or not want to talk about. I want to bring those up in these paintings.” The symbols crown and crest behind Herrera’s female figures and are directly related to their own paths to recovery. Herrera says the paintings become a part of that process for them, as well. “It gives them power over something that once

Hey, Local DJs talk Pride, music and Santa Fe’s gay community

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

I

“

COUR TESY MELA NIE MOOR E

may be in the minority here, but I’m one of the few gay people, I think, who doesn’t need a gay bar,” DJ Melanie Moore tells SFR. Moore and fellow local legend Oona Bender are slated to take the stage at the official Santa Fe Pride after-party at Skylight on June 25. “It’s just that I’ve never let that, nor would I want that to be my identifier,” Moore continues.

“There are some people who that’s the first thing you learn about them, and that’s just not me; I’d rather it be about my character.”

It’s a powerfully human statement from a prominent mainstay of the local electronic music scene, one who is also an openly gay musician, but it does raise the question, does Santa Fe’s lack of a dedicated gay bar have a negative impact on the LGBTQ+ community? Gay clubs like The Blue Rooster and its predecessor, Rouge Cat, are both long gone, and while Santa Fe is arguably an oasis of acceptance in a state with oddly disturbing religious and/or conservative undercurrents, it’s entirely possible that we’ve come to an enlightened new era that means a specifically gay club isn’t necessary. Of course, as a straight man, I wouldn’t dare to decide such a thing.

For some, the idea of a gay club as safe space hearkens back to their earliest days of self-discovery, when such locations allowed them the means and support to find and be themselves without fear. Oona, who came up in the Bay

Area music scene and enjoyed a resident DJ slot at Rouge Cat with her long-running Trash Disco series, echoes Moore’s feeling that one’s sexual orientation shouldn’t be the first consideration, but believes that there is still much to be said for gay clubs.

“I will say that there’s an entire culture that’s contained in a gay bar,” Oona says. “When I got here in

1981, I felt like I was home, but when you’re talking about people who grow up in places with environments that aren’t as progressive … the gay club can definitely be a sanctuary.”

Both Moore and Oona agree that their specific experiences were perhaps not as harrowing as some of their contemporaries, and both agree that the overall good created by spaces dedicated to gay communities is in the feeling of acceptance and open-mindedness they can inspire. Moore and Oona, however, bring their own kind of inspiration to the table. Moore nails it down perfectly, saying that it isn’t about being gay or straight; when it comes to music, she has always wanted “something that’s good for my soul.”

When the hardworking DJs take the booth following the Pride festivities on the Plaza, the music they play and the atmosphere they create will not be focused on any one group in particular—it will be the soundtrack of togetherness. They’ve worked as a team a number of times over the years, most notably at Moore’s annual Sex on Vinyl weekend (a totally amazing collaboration of DJs, by the way), and it’s safe to say they’ll know how to get the party started.

“I’m dance floor-driven,” Oona says of her forays into pop, disco, R&B and beyond. It’s a clever means of merging hits that people know with the long-honored DJ tradition of introducing new songs through the clubs. “I can get more tribal, too, and I do like to play stuff that’s harder.”

Moore jokingly calls her upcoming set “housey-house” and describes her own personal preference for dance music as wanting to hear songs she’s never heard before.

“I’m not really a commercial DJ, never have been,” she says. “I’m really more about music that people think they know but they don’t know why.”

Curator Niomi Fawn builds a platform for Santa Fe artists who are fighting to be heard

BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart

“

ou are what you say you are. I’m a curator,” Niomi Fawn tells SFR. “To curate is more than just putting art on walls. It’s world bridging.” Over the last 18 months, Fawn has emerged as a curatorial force in art spaces and businesses around the city, often working with LGBTQ artists. She has a growing reputation as the city’s “queer curator,” but her projects are designed to empower a diverse cross section of individuals and communities.

“When I think ‘queer,’ it means giving space to voices that need to be heard and are often just moved to the side,” Fawn says. “That can mean people who identify many different ways.” Fawn’s company, Curate, just won a $10,000 grant from the Santa Fe Arts Commission for a public art project called HITCH. The multiartist collaboration is her most ambitious venture yet and a culmination of a decade of activism in Santa Fe’s creative community.

Growing up in Hawaii and California, Fawn’s first passion was surfing. She competed professionally during her teen and young adult years. Surf culture came hand-in-hand with the punk rock movement, and Fawn drew inspiration from Bikini Kill and other riot grrrl trailblazers in her own musical experiments.

Between surfing competitions and band practice, she penned poetry-filled zines and dreamed up goth outfits à la Bauhaus to wear to the beach. Fawn was always in search of female surfing heroes, in reaction to the machismo of the 1990s surf community.

“I remember being at a party in high school and having this guy back me into a corner and say, ‘Girls should be skinny and sit on the shore. They shouldn’t be in the water,’” Fawn says. “It was actually really scary. I was in a hypermasculine space in the surf world, so I found ways to reclaim safe space and my female body.” Fawn started teaching surf classes for women and painted portraits of Gidget and other iconic female surfers on old surfboards. “My best vengeance was that I beat that guy at the next surf heat,” she says.

Fawn visited her mother’s family in New Mexico every summer throughout her childhood. Rolling tamales with her grandmother and learning her family’s migratory history, she developed a powerful connection with her Hispanic roots. Fawn has lived in Santa Fe intermittently for the past 10 years and has worked to carve out space for the city’s alternative arts scene.

In the early 2000s, when she was studying interior design at Santa Fe Community College, she organized a series of salons that connected the music and visual art communities.

“I was throwing giant shows for so long with all of these bands, so I was actually curating people,” she says. “You’re curating bands, you’re curating content.” She got more serious about her visual art prac-

THE CALENDAR

There is a guy at my work who is into puppy play. I know this because I have some friends in the gay puppy community. I don’t give two shits what anyone I work with does to get off.

All well and good, except… he wants us to call him Spike, his puppy name. Isn’t this a case of him involving everyone at work in his sex life, whether we want to be involved or not?

-Disturbed Over Gratuitous Gratifications Of Naming Experience “It’s important to note, firstly, that pup play isn’t a sexual activity so much as it is a head space,” said Amp, a puppy, a gamer, a porn performer, and the cohost of Watts the Safeword, a kink-friendly sex-education YouTube channel. “For DOGGONE’s coworker, pup play may be a comfort thing, or a social thing, or even a way for him to redefine who he is as a person so that he can take control.”

Amp, who is 26 and lives in Seattle, got into pup play about five years ago.

“A daddy and his pup joined a group of friends on a gay camping trip,” said Amp. “Their bond just seemed to glow, and their relationship stuck with me as something I wanted in my life. For me, yes, pup play can get sexual with my Daddy, but Amp is just who I am when I’m out and about.”

Like your coworker, DOGGONE, Amp goes by his puppy name socially and professionally.

So I put this question to him: Does he get a secret thrill and/or a visible boner when a coworker, barista, casual friend, or rando calls him by his pup name?

“God no!” said Amp. “If someone calls me ‘pup’ in a really sexual way or an aggressive way, maybe, but not when someone is simply using your name. A pup name is essentially a nickname, and people use nicknames socially and professionally. So long as the kinkier aspects of pup play—tail wagging, barking, ball chasing—are kept out of the workplace, DOGGONE’s coworker using his puppy name at work doesn’t involve the office in his sex life.”

A quick thought experiment, DOGGONE: Let’s say a female coworker married a man—a really hot man—and later confided in you that she married him because the sex was great.

And let’s say she took her new husband’s last name. Would using her new last name “involve” you in her sex life? Being married partly defines who she is, it led her to take a new name, and sex is an important part of her marriage. But her new name isn’t just about sex—it’s about identity, intimacy, connection, and sex.

Pup play isn’t as serious a business as marriage, of course, but you should be able to extend the same courtesy to Spike that you wouldn’t hesitate to extend to your hypothetical straight female coworker—that is, use the names you’ve been asked to use without obsessing over their respective sex lives.

“DOGGONE should always respect how someone identifies and asks to be named,” said Amp, “and regard the sexual or kink aspects of someone’s name choice as a separate detail.”

You can—and should—follow Amp on Twitter @Pup_Amp. I recently synced my phone contacts to my Twitter account. When I was scrolling through the list of people who turned up from my contacts, I saw a username that looked out of place. It was the account of a low-key traditional-guy friend of mine. To my surprise, on the account he was dressed as a woman in a few of the pictures and was with another Twitter user who is a popular

dominatrix in the area where he lives. I’m sexpositive and support people who are gender nonconforming, of course. I also work for a porn company, so I don’t judge anyone who participates in BDSM. My concern is that I don’t know if this person is aware that his account can be found via a regular old social media and phone sync. I don’t want him to get outed for being a fetishist or possibly being gender questioning or transgender if he does not want to be out. Should I give him a heads up? Should I keep my mouth shut? I want to be respectful.

-Knowing Isn’t Necessarily Knowledge, Yes? Send that traditional guy a note, KINKY, but “bury the lead,” as they say in the news biz.

Instead of opening with those particular photos being easily accessible to all, open with the relevant facts about yourself: “You know I work in porn, and I’m not fazed by BDSM or sex work or any sort of gender-related sex play, and I’m a big supporter of gender-nonconforming people as well as the trans community.” Then let him know what you found, how you stumbled across it, and how to adjust his privacy settings.

My name is Peter and I’m a longtime fan.

I’ve also been very involved with the Human Rights Campaign and their work in getting the Equality Act passed. I’m 21 and only recently out of the closet. I opened up about my sexuality after the passage of marriage equality last June and have since been a proud gay man. It seemed that since marriage equality, our community was only going up. Even the passage of HB2 didn’t make me cynical about the future. But this recent shooting has changed my world completely. Fighting for equality in housing, education, and employment seems like a joke after this massive act of violence in Orlando. I’m looking to someone in the community for guidance.

-Peter They don’t win—the haters don’t win—when they chase us, beat us, or kill us. They win when we stop fighting.

Please don’t stop fighting.

And please don’t despair. Hundreds of thousands of us died in the 1980s and ’90s when hate, fear, greed, racism, and negligence intersected with a deadly virus. A lot of us felt then the way you do now—that it was over, that it was hopeless, that the coming out and the organizing and the fighting had been for nothing, and that everything we had won up to that point was meaningless. And then we got up off our butts and we showed them— we showed those motherfuckers—that the fight in us was greater than the hate in them.

We showed them that we were stronger and smarter than they were, we showed that fucking virus that we were stronger and smarter than it was, and we made it clear to them that we were not going to shut up and die quietly or go back into the closet and die alone.

And we had only each other for a while there—for a long while. For years we fought alone.

Look at who is on our side today—all good and decent people everywhere. The president of the United States and the next president of the United States. Look at the rallies, look at the vigils, look at the outpouring of love, sympathy, and support. Don’t look at the killer.

Don’t look at the haters. Don’t look at the vile comments left by shit people on Twitter and Facebook. Look at the good. Look at the love. Look at the good and loving people inside and outside the LGBT community and take strength from their love and support.

Then get out there and fight.

THE CALENDAR

with Nina Roosevelt Gibson

Nina Roosevelt Gibson is the granddaughter of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, not to mention a distant relative of Teddy. Beneath a humble demeanor, Gibson embodies the Roosevelt spirit of compassion. As a psychologist, she spends much of her time fighting for the rights of abused children, drug addicts and others who don’t have a voice.

Gibson comes to La Fonda (100 E San Francisco St., 9825511) on June 24 as a guest of the National New Deal Preservation Association, to discuss the enduring impact of FDR’s groundbreaking social initiatives. (Andrew Koss) How do you carry on the legacy of your grandparents?

For my personal life, I have tried to give back to my country, my community … just as a regular person, as a citizen of my community, not necessarily as a Roosevelt.

Every now and then, I do something that does get national press or something like that and I will get phone s ale Maker calls. “Nina, you never told me that you wereico’related s #1 Tam ew Mex denied 55.

19 to Roosevelt.” [In 2010] the state of NArizona ce in S ll Made es Are Sti Medicaid transplant operations to 98 people who Tamalhad d. ... By Han ay W l na been told they could get an organ transplant, Origi then The and the Arizona legislature denied them that operation, which was a death sentence. We banded together and we forced the Arizona legislature to rescind that law.

It was very sad, because one person did die before we got it changed. In those instances, yes, people do know who I am and I have allowed the relationship to be made public because it’s important. But otherwise, I have just kind of gone about my business.

How did you take the lessons of your grandmother into your professional work?

She was probably one of the most important people in my life, because she was such a warm, wonderful person and I feel she’s relevant today. I do speak with various groups about her with the hopes that some of her ideas and some of her views on life, people will remember them and incorporate [them] into their own lives. The biggest lesson was, you don’t know all the answers. If I listen to other people, I can always learn.

And I can always hear something that I haven’t heard before. There is almost no experience in life where I can’t learn.

How can the spirit of the New Deal be applied to the social issues of today?

The New Deal was a time of people coming together to solve a very serious economic emergency, with the philosophy and the values of social justice for all. A lot of that needs to be upgraded, certainly in healthcare and various other things. We really need to keep going forward and not let the naysayers turn it around, because we have huge economic and social justice problems that we’re still facing. It’s not the New Deal in and of itself, those programs, because they may not work today, but it’s the values and the philosophy of working together that I would love to see be implemented in our political climate today.

Come to Mamou

GWYNETH DOLAND

FOOD

A French café that delivers classics done well

BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

t is a hard reality that the simplest breakfast is often the most difficult to find. Think: a cup of coffee and a piece of bread. When food is very simple, it has to be very well executed, which is only one reason why this little French café is such a treat.

Chez Mamou (217 E Palace Ave., 216-1845) occupies a little storefront directly across from the Drury Inn; one wall is open to a store selling beads and jewelry (you have to pass through there to get to the bathroom). The dining room is charming, with a few funky old tables and chairs arranged in front of the pastry case, which Pepe-Le-Pews you forward, following the intoxicating aroma of freshly baked croissants.

Look, when is a croissant ever bad? Ha! Kind of a lot.

Remember the last time you went to a meeting where they brought in sandwiches for lunch, and yours came on a cold, hard, tasteless “croissant”? Shudder. We’ve become numb to the terribleness of the vast majority of bread items in this country (before you have an aneurysm, Santa Fe actually has some great bakeries; we are very lucky), so it’s nice to occasionally bask in the glory of a uniquely delightful treat like a hand-rolled fresh tortilla—or an ethereally flaky croissant.

If you only stopped in to Chez Mamou to grab a pastry and a cup of coffee, you’d be doing right by your morning. The generously sized latte is thick and rich, while the regular coffee is pleasantly deep, dark and frequently refilled. But the little front patio and the surprisingly large side/back patio are shady and comfortable enough to encourage lingering over a fuller meal, and so, on a recent Sunday, two ladies (slightly the worse for wear after a day/night of eating/drinking for business/pleasure) spent a lazy hour or so deeply ensconced in plush cushions and protected from the hateful sun by gently drooping foliage.

The crispy halves of red breakfast potatoes make this simple French fare even more comforting.

A delightful plain croissant ($2.95) and a piece of pear tart ($7.95!) kick-started brunch. The pear tart was beautiful, with slices of pale fruit surrounded by pastry and shellacked with a glistening glaze, but it wasn’t as fresh or flaky as expected. The bottom of the tart was doughy and undercooked, while the glaze (apricot, maybe?) overpowered the delicate pear flavor. The croissant was a steal at $2.95, but to be worth $7.95, the pear tart needs to impress more. The spinach crepe ($11.95) was very good, the tender crepe wrapped around fresh spinach just kissed by heat, covered with a delicate béchamel and melted cheese.

If you asked them to go easy on the cheese, you could probably even persuade yourself it’s a healthy breakfast. And just think of all the Vitamin A in that spinach!

The friand saucisse ($12.50), not so much. How can you resist sausage wrapped in pastry? Even, um, after a pear tart? It is very difficult. The thing is the size of your abuelita’s chancla (if your nana were, say, a size 5), and if you threw one at me, I’d catch it with my mouth. But I probably wouldn’t eat the whole thing because, as it turns out, there maybe is a limit to how much buttery pastry and ground pork a person can eat (even if they had 13 or 30 taste-pours of wine the night before). It’s good, but it’s very rich, so con-

sider splitting one and doubling the amount of nicely dressed baby greens that come on the side.

The rest of the brunch menu includes egg dishes (Benedict with smoked salmon, quiche Lorraine), French toast and an enticing beef hash with caramelized onions. All of the offerings come with golden, crispy little halves of red breakfast potatoes. But my next visit to this 4-year-old café will definitely be for dinner. The twinkle lights draped over the outdoor patio hint at a very high-romance rating, while the dinner menu tempts with mussels in garlic and white wine, duck confit, steak frites and other French comfort foods. It would also be an excellent place to visit just for dessert from the pastry case and a cup of decaf espresso.

Chez Mamou isn’t the kind of place where you’ll discover dishes you’ve never heard of; its menu is based on things Americans have loved since Julia Child introduced us to them. But it’s a very pretty, very comfortable little French café with good food, friendly service and outstanding ambiance.

From the Grand Tetons in Wyoming to Acadia in Maine to Big Bend in Texas and more, Terry Tempest Williams creates a series of lyrical portraits that illuminate the unique grandeur of each place while delving into what it means to shape a landscape with its own evolutionary history into something of our own making.

Part memoir, part natural history, and part social critique, The Hour of Land is a meditation and a manifesto on why wild lands matter to the soul of America.

L’attesa Review: Endless Waiting The perfect film for people who love to be bored by alex de vore alex@sfreporter.com

It could be that attention spans have dwindled thanks to home streaming services, constant phone usage and a film industry that churns out crappy movies that mostly fill time between explosions, but it could also be that sometimes a movie is just outrageous-

ly boring. This is the dilemma at hand when it comes to L’attesa (The Wait), the newest film from director Pietro Messina (you don’t know him, we assure you).

We want to like the film, we really do, but despite some standout performances and a gorgeous setting, it just never gets to the point that makes audiences forget they’re watching a

about to lose her shit and have a breakdown. Jeanne is understandably confused by all of this, but it is absurd to believe anyone would just hang around for days on end with someone’s weird mother when they could just as easily find a hotel or leave or something. Binoche does manage to cobble together an emotionally believable performance as the first woman in Sicily to get divorced (or so they say), and there are even moments of genuinely fine acting peppered throughout, but if Jeanne is supposed to be our hero, or even just our cipher, she fails.

Eventually, as we watch the seasoned Binoche flounder under boring dialogue and her young counterpoint descend further into clingy and unstable, we just kind of check out and pray for L’attesa to come to an end. And then it does, with practically no satisfying conclusion or point of any kind.

The best we can say is that character-driven films about actual people have become rare, but there is certainly no reason to believe this one is worth a trip to the big screen.

movie. When a young French woman named Jeanne (Lou de Laage) is invited to Sicily to visit her boyfriend, Giuseppe, she instead finds his mother, Anna (Juliette Binoche of The English Patient fame), who is reeling from the recent loss of a family member.

Anna frowns constantly, repeatedly refuses to answer simple questions and, perhaps most importantly, seems to have no idea as to her son’s whereabouts.

What follows is an unbearable series of silent moments, uncomfortable exchanges and some of the most selfindulgent and drawn-out establishing shots in the history of film. L’attesa would have you believe that Anna and Jeanne (or even the mysteriously absent Giuseppe) are harboring dark secrets, but the fact of the matter is that whatever they may be, we soon cease to care. Like, immediately.

Jeanne wanders the grounds of the admittedly gorgeous Sicilian villa, leaving repeated and increasingly frustrated phone messages for her lover, all of which are intercepted by Anna for, uh, some reason. And rather than slowly coming to terms with the young woman’s feelings, we begin to think of her as a petulant child angry that her boyfriend ditched her with his mom.

Anna is no better, and every moment she’s onscreen, we fear she’s

absurdist comedies of Wes Anderson”

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM Endless billows of chiffon, surreal lighting and flexible bamboo stilts—no, it’s not Cirque du Soleil, it’s acclaimed director Julie Taymor’s (The Tempest) interpretation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The work is known as a comedic fairy tale already, but Taymor adds her own special style, bringing the story to a higher, more ethereal level.

Dream opens in darkness, with a lone light shining on a comfy bed. A mime-like Puck appears and lies down on the bed, which is then mechanically lifted up toward the top of the stage. Now we see Taymor’s genius: Four construction workers appear onstage, and a chainsaw separates the real world from fantasy. And so it starts, as if the viewer has been split between worlds.

“Fantasy” hardly describes this production, as Taymor revamps the presentation using theatrical techniques such as puppetry, mime, dance and music, along with aerial work.

Taymor is well-known for her original concepts in film, and here she stages the blissful comedy about love and its many obstacles in both earthly and spirit worlds. In doing so, she creates an illusion of light and dark, with all that each side encompasses.

The audience is offered originality at its finest, and Taymor’s imagination is

over the top; she uses bamboo poles to represent the simple backdrop of the dark forest where the disenchanted lovers take flight. She reminds us of the hurdles that love must sometimes endure. After all, “the course of true love never did run smooth,” especially in the Bard’s plays.

Taymor stretches the imagination and presents a unique take on one of the canon’s most enchanted comedies. As she presents Shakespeare’s fantasy of immortal and mortal lovers who become lost in the woods, Taymor mesmerizes the audience and invokes visions that can only be found in the safety of sleep. After all is done, it is Taymor who is the true star of the movie. She puts everything into this production, but with some restraint to the message of love and the hoops that have to be jumped through to achieve it.

(Rose Antonelli-Fatton) CCA, NR, 164 min.

NOW YOU SEE ME 2 In Now You See Me 2, much of the original cast is reunited (save Isla Fisher, who is replaced here by the always enjoyable Lizzy Caplan of Mean Girls) to once again use magic as a means of exacting social justice on millionaires and tech moguls who have no respect for anything more than their bottom line. Our heroes are The Horsemen, a four-magician squad, led from the shadows

by Mark Ruffalo, whose team is way good at big-spectacle tricks and stealing things to expose jerks.

The Horsemen have been in hiding, waiting for orders from The Eye, some kind of clandestine society of magicians that operates in secrecy and from whom Ruffalo siphons out magic-related missions. It’s fairly absurd, but God help us, it sure is fun.

Each of the magicians has their own special ability. Jack Wilder (Dave Franco of the illfated and just awful wind-down of Scrubs), for example, is awesome at card tricks while Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson) can hypnotize just about anyone. Danny Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg) is more of an all-around trickster and is sort of the first mate of the crew, and newcomer Lula (Caplan) … actually, she mostly just acts boy-crazy and says minimally feminist things like, “Did you ask the guys if they could ride a motorcycle, or was it just me?”

It isn’t that the performances are bad per se, rather that so many little twists and turns are packed into Now You See Me 2 that no one is allowed any room to do much outside of exist. Still, the movie wants us to root for The Horsemen, so we do, and by the time we hit the prestige, we had a fairly enjoyable ride and saw a couple neat magic tricks along the way. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 129 min.

MOVIES

yay!

This is the single most Shakespearian thing we’ve ever seen, obviously.

ME BEFORE YOU Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) and her eyebrows join super-hunk Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games series) in Me Before You, an emotionally manipulative pile of dreck that tries so very hard to make us feel anything, but generally winds up feeling more like the longest hour and 50 minutes of your entire life. Clarke plays Louisa, a cute-as-a-button 20-something who just can’t seem to keep a job despite how many weirdly over-expressive eyebrow maneuvers she utilizes or spunky/bizarre outfits she wears. This is a huge drag, because she’s kind of trapped in a shitty life; her family is way poor, and she’s supposed to help out, so when a temp job as a caretaker for a paraplegic comes her way, she’s super desperate and takes it immediately.

The wheelchair-bound Will Traynor (Claflin) somehow comes from royalty—though they never mention the specifics outside of his family owns a castle in their sleepy British town—and is a complete jerk.

The more time they spend together, the more they fall in love, a ridiculous turn of events that surprises absolutely no one save Lou’s boyfriend (a totally enjoyable Matthew Lewis who played Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films), who we’re supposed to not like, and just when Lou is becoming comfortable enough with her job to sit on Will’s lap and creep everyone out by blurring the lines of professionalism, we learn that Will wants to Kevorkian himself, and Me Before You transforms from quirky, albeit ludicrous, rom-com to heavy-handed sad-fest. Tears are shed, brows are furrowed, an absurd number of emotionally scored montages occur and the audience is left to roll their eyes and check their watches.

Lou must grapple between the excitement of a budding romance and doing what’s right, although the moral and societal implications of assisted suicide take a backseat to hormonal angst, and the overall lesson—you’ve got to live, dammit!—is nothing even slightly new. Avoid this movie at all costs—you’ve been warned.

dal. His planned comeback: a bid for New York City mayor.

Filmmakers Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg secured incredible access to the candidate, his team, and most critically, Huma Abedin, the wife who also happens to be a close-confidant of Hillary Clinton.

At first, the documentary seems like a runof-the-mill campaign story. Weiner gallivants during a gay-pride parade, waving a rainbow flag. Abedin introduces her husband at a fundraiser.

But then a bombshell drops, and the documentarians’ gamble pays off big time. News breaks that Weiner couldn’t quit his habit of sending x-rated photos to women who are not his wife, this even after he appeared on the cover of People Magazine with the headline “I Feel Like a Different Person.”

Kriegman and Steinberg capture the immediate fallout of the scandal’s second act like they have a backstage pass to a political campaign in panic mode. “Are we going to go fucking nuclear, like this is not true?” asks Amit Bagga, a policy director.

In another room, Weiner and Abedin are on speakerphone, trying to do damage control.

Weiner explains to his interlocutor that he has his wife’s full support, as she listens with a mix of disgust and incredulity wrinkled in her face.

They hang up, and the two sit in silence for what seems like an eternity, unable to look at each other, before Weiner kicks the filmmakers out.

Moments later, the couple walks out to cameras and reporters, Abedin smiling. “This is between us in our marriage,” she explains. “I love him. I’ve forgiven him.”

Up-close scenes of a campaign in disarray are interspersed with clips of the media in scandal mode, dissecting every public moment of Weiner and Abedin’s life. Why does she stick by his side? How many women were there? What is wrong with him?

We know politics is theater, but actually witnessing the principal actors switch in and out of character, as we do in Weiner, is truly astonishing. The rest of the film is filled with sequences like this: In one moment, staffers go around in a circle expressing frustrations with their boss.

In the next, Abedin reminds Weiner’s campaign manager to look happy as she exits the building.

“Just a quick optics thing,” she says. (Steven Hsieh) CCA, R, 96 min.

MOVIES

ok “We just came to meet Harry Potter,” says the cast of Now You See Me 2.

THE LOBSTER Colin Farrell plays David, a newly single man who lives in a sort of dystopia wherein those without a partner are sent to a purgatorial hotel and given a month and a half to find a mate, or they’ll be turned into the animal of their choosing. It’s an interesting take on societal pressures that dictate we must be paired off if we ever wish to be truly happy, and Rachel Weisz, who assumes the role of disembodied narrator for nearly two-thirds of the film, echoes the frustrating weirdness of the setup in a way that suggests she might be David’s conscience (if only he had one). Of course, that’s part of the bum deal humanity has received in The Lobster, and daily hunting for those who shirk the idea that partnership-equals-good (known here as “loners”) consistently keeps everyone on edge; there is no hope for trust between anyone.

It’s an almost nihilism-lite version of the absurdist comedies of Wes Anderson. In fact, anyone who has seen The Grand Budapest

Hotel will find a twisted familiarity to the halls and grounds of the sprawling country estate, but whereas Anderson knows how to create consistent characters who we still root for, even at their most obnoxious, The Lobster strays too far into dark comedy’s uncomfortable moments rather than those that are so bad they’re good.

And then, just when we have acclimated to the idea of this bizarre arrangement, everything changes, and we practically jump into another movie altogether.

Farrell is excellent, however, even if the other characters have a problem with all being written the same and not being explored to any meaningful depth. It’s a bit odd at first to hear how everyone speaks in the same stilted manner, but the more we observe the performances, the more it seems the characters have stripped down to basic human motivators, like sex and fear, and that is at least a worthwhile attempt at examining mankind on a less romantic level.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) “The past lives on in art and memory,” writes author Margaret Drabble, “but it is not static: it shifts and changes as the present throws its shadow backwards.” That’s a fertile thought for you to meditate on during the coming weeks, Aries. Why? Because your history will be in a state of dramatic fermentation. The old days and the old ways will be mutating every which way. I hope you will be motivated, as a result, to rework the story of your life with flair and verve.

in sweet alignment with your astrological omens for the next 13 months. Take it away, Dianna. 1. Focus on the solution, not the problem. 2. Complaining is a garbage magnet. 3. What you focus on expands. 4. Do what you have always done, and you will get what you have always gotten. 5. Don’t compare your insides to other people’s outsides. 6. Success is simple, but not easy. 7.

Don’t listen to your drunk monkey. 8. Clarity is power. 9.

Don’t mistake movement for achievement. 10.

Spontaneity is a conditioned reflex. 11. People will grow into the conversations you create around them. 12. How you participate here is how you participate everywhere.

13. Live your life by design, not by default.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) “Critics of text-messaging are wrong to think it’s a regressive form of communication,” writes poet Lily Akerman. “It demands so much concision, subtlety, psychological art—in fact, it’s more like pulling puppet strings than writing.” I bring this thought to your attention, Taurus, because in my opinion the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to apply the metaphor of text-messaging to pretty much everything you do. You will create interesting ripples of success as you practice the crafts of concision, subtlety, and psychological art.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) No pressure, no diamond. No grit, no pearl. No cocoon, no butterfly. All these clichés will be featured themes for you during the next 12 months. But I hope you will also come up with fresher ways to think about the power and value that can be generated by tough assignments.

First, practical Does that sound like a metaphor you’d like to celebrate business-as-usual will not provide the uncanny transformative power you need.

You will have to conjure, dig up, or rocky patch of river bed. The not-really-all-that-bad track down some real magic. My second reason for suggesting “I’m looking for the magic” as your mantra news is that your flow may feel erratic and jerky. The is this: You’re not yet ripe enough to secure the magic, really good news is that you will be inspired to speak freely, articulately, and with creative zing. but you can become ripe enough by being dogged in your pursuit of it.

Your power and glory will come from honing one specific skill, not experimenting restlessly with many different skills. And the coming weeks will be en excellent time to set your intention.

may benefit from being a bit juvenile, even childlike. You can release your dormant creativity by losing your adult composure and indulging in free-form play. In my astrological opinion, this is one of those phases for you. It’s high time to lose your cool in the best possible ways.

You have a duty to explore the frontiers of spontaneity and indulge in I-don’t-give-a-cluck exuberance. For the sake of your peace-of-soul and your physical health, you need to wriggle free of at least some of your grown-up responsibilities so you can romp and cavort and frolic.

NAAZ

NAAZ and NABILA were rescued with their

mother from a feral cat colony in Santa Fe during one of our Trap, Neuter & Release (TNR) operations. While the mama was spayed and returned to the colony, the kittens showed promise for becoming social and adoptable and indeed their siblings NADIA, NADIRA and NILS have been adopted. TEMPERAMENT: NAAZ and NABILA are now lovely young adults who are playful and social after they settle into a new home. NAAZ and NABILA would be happy being placed together, but both cats would also be good companions for other young cats. NAAZ is a beautiful calico girl with a short coat; NABILA has a medium-length coat. AGE: born approx. 4/30/13.
