news&commentSEATTLE WEEKLY • NOVEMBER 13 —19, 20136What Did We Just Do?The little-watched Charter Amendment 19, easily approved by voters,tears up the way Seattle is governed, for better or worse.BY MATT DRISCOLLWill the newdistricts givevoters a voice—or box them in?On a clear day, heading south onAurora from Acme Auto Electric,you can see the downtown skyline.With six lanes of traffic buzzing byand a slew of sleazy motels, prostitutes, and usedcardealerships between here and there, it feelslike a different city from the one that Amazon,the Space Needle, and City Hall call home.Curtis Gehrke’s family opened Acme AutoElectric in 1944, and on a sunny autumnafternoon his “retired” dad still helps behindthe counter. Not counting a cat named Chicawho gets feisty if you don’t pet her behind theears and a miniature statue of James Brown bythe cash register, Acme Auto Electric has fiveemployees—three of them family members.Over the years, according to Gehrke, city governmenthas kept its eye on downtown whileignoring the issues he confronts as a local businessowner on a daily basis—big issues likecrime, public safety, and where to build a newpolice station, and smaller issues like parkingand storm-water drainage. Two years ago, hesays, a purse-snatcher busted into his waitingroom and made off with an elderly woman’shandbag. In the past he’s shot video of thenefarious drug and prostitution activity at thebus stop across the street and shown the footageto city officials, to little avail.“I think the city does what it wants to do,”Gehrke says of the perceived neglect. “I feel likethey don’t care or listen to the small people.”It’s here, along the city’s most infamous thoroughfare—andlargely from the pocketbook ofone woman—that Charter Amendment 19 andSeattle’s new city council districts were born. Theamendment, which in many ways flew under theradar this election season, will split the city intoseven council districts, each of which will senda councilmember to City Hall, starting with the2015 elections. Another two members will beelected at large, as all members now are.From the viewpoint of Faye Garneau, thelongtime executive director of the Aurora MerchantsAssociation who ponied up $265,000 ofher own money for the district elections campaign,and business owners like Gehrke, the newdistricts are a chance to get the voice in councilchambers that their piece of north Seattle hasbeen lacking far too long. Currently, no citycouncil member calls Seattle’s new District 5—shown in pink on the map—home.With broad bipartisan backing—from Garneau,who voted for Mitt Romney, to MayorMike McGinn, who did not, to the Trotskyquotingsocialist city council candidate KshamaSawant—Charter Amendment 19 was overwhelminglypassed by Seattle voters last week.Proponents of the new plan say it’ll provide afair and equal representation on the council thatthe at-large system couldn’t. It’ll bring smallernames back into the political process, theyargue, and make doorbelling and handshakingas important as big-money backing and citywidename recognition.But in Seattle’s ethnically diverse southeast corner,far from Aurora’s cheap hotels and strugglingfamily-owned businesses, some aren’t so sureaTHE WEEKLY BRIEFING: What’s going on at seattleweekly.com: As Mayor Mike McGinn conceded (“Government is like a shoe—you don’t notice it until it doesn’t fit”), adead man in Aberdeen was holding on to a slim lead in Council Ward 5•King County Metro announced that at the current funding rate, it will have to eliminate or reduce service on 80percent of its bus routes by next June• • Coming off their defeat at the polls, GMO foes are taking aim at a Canadian apple that doesn’t bruise Obamacare got its first rock-star spokesman,Sportsball argues why the Sounders should keep SchmidChris Walla from Death Cab for Cutie• A new video game promises to let you burn down the Space Needle •TIM SILBAUGHabout the new districts. These are also the voicesof “small people.” Just as the businesses and residentsof north Seattle will have one council seatto call their own, so too will southeast Seattle—effectively lumping the bulk of the EmeraldCity’s Black, Latino, and Asian voters into a singledistrict. According to 2010 census estimates,33.7 percent of Seattle residents are people ofcolor. By and large, they live south of YeslerWay—which happens to be the northernmostboundary of the newly created District 2 (shownin red on the map). The majority of neighborhoodsin this district are more than 60 percentminority, according to a census breakdown; someare as high as 87 and 91 percent. (For comparison,north Seattle’s District 5 neighborhoodsaverage 20–40 percent persons of color.)According to Chris Stearns, the former headof Seattle’s Human Rights Commission, historyhasn’t always been kind to minorities when itcomes to the creation of electoral districts; electionscan be influenced by the lines mapmakersdraw, and minority voices can be silenced. “That’sreally what the concern is rooted in,” says Stearns,who’s pushing for a study of just what Seattle hasgotten itself into with its new districts.“It isn’t that [Charter Amendment 19 supporters]did something intentional,” he says, “it’sjust, what if . . . there’s an unintentional outcomethat could be bad for [people of color]?”The man responsible for Seattle’s new districtsmap is Richard Morrill, a retired geography professorfrom the University of Washington. Thenearly 80-year-old Morrill is no stranger to hiscraft. He served as the Special Master to the federalcourt-ordered redistricting of Washingtonstate in 1972, and advised the state of Mississippion its own redistricting efforts for racial fairnessfrom 1977 to 1983—just two highlights in ageography career that has spanned half a century.Pressed on the fairness of his map, Morrillis unflinching. “It’s very fair,” he says. Typically,if you wanted to disenfranchise a minority, youwould draw the district lines to divide the group,to prevent it from voting as a single politicallyeffective bloc. “I was very careful not to break upany ethnic populations,” Morrill says. “I think theright minority could win in any of the districts.”Along with making sure all districts werewithin 1 percent of each other in overall populationand keeping traditional neighborhoodsintact, Morrill says achieving racial fairness washis top priority.There’s no question that Seattle’s new districtsdo not break up the city’s ethnic strongholds. Theonly potential problem: Seattle only has one ofthem.As Stearns sees it, a city with a minoritypopulation of 33 percent should have more thanone “guaranteed” spot on the council representingthese voices. He wonders if a more creativemap could have created two districts with ethnicmajorities, noting that Morrill’s rigid map, whichboxes in Seattle’s southeast district, “looks likesomething drawn on a tic-tac-toe board.”City Councilman Bruce Harrell, the currentcouncil’s only minority and a resident of District2, says there was an upside for minorities in theold system. “I always saw [minorities] as a necessaryvoting bloc,” says Harrell. “All [candidates]had to be accountable to that bloc. . . . Now thatdynamic goes away.”Asked point-blank whether the new districtmap is fair, Harrell takes a long pause.“I don’t know. I just don’t know,” he saysfinally. “It is what it is now.” Emdriscoll@seattleweekly.com

page»headerInslee, Boeing, and the 777XtortionEncircled by smiling legislators anda gaggle of business leaders at hisJune 2003 bill-signing ceremony inOlympia, Gov. Gary Locke moved hispen over paper, turning legislation into law andpublic money into corporate welfare. It was theright thing to do, the governor said. Either givethe Boeing Company a $3 billion tax break orwatch theSEATTLELAND aerospaceBY RICK ANDERSON industryfly away.He didn’t mention that the fix was in—thatthe “independent” consulting company he’d hiredfor $715,000 to study the giveaway was also Boeing’spaid corporate consultant, and would itselfbenefit from the tax break. And he professed totrust the word of a company with a scarred historyof criminal bribery and contractual fraud,confident Boeing would live up to its promiseof making Puget Sound thecenter of its new 787 Dreamlinerassembly operation.By 2005, it was Lockewho’d flown away, leavingoffice after his second termas Boeing began outsourcingjobs, including buildingwings in Japan. By 2009,when Locke landed in D.C.to become Barack Obama’sCommerce Secretary, cateringto Boeing’s needs around theworld, the Lazy B was openinga second 787 productionline—in South Carolina,where it garnered another $1billion in tax incentives.Last week it was governorin-trainingJay Inslee offeringthree times as much to once again keep Boeingfrom flying away. Despite its annual $85 billionin revenue and $4 billion profit, the needyaerospace giant insisted that Locke’s $3 billion,20-year tax break had to be replaced by Inslee’s$9 billion, 27-year tax break, or it would beforced to make another Carolina-style move.Over the weekend, the legislature snappedto attention and doled out the huge exemption.Inslee and lawmakers then dissolved into anorgy of backslapping and self-congratulation.To the governor, it wasn’t largesse he was givingaway to a Fortune 500 behemoth, it was process.Lawmakers, “in very short order,” he said, “dida great job producing a great product.” Thelegislature had itself become a production line,assembling CARE packages for America’s #1plane maker.And Boeing was delighted to take delivery.Taxes—not paying them—is part of the company’scapital strategy. It regularly doesn’t payany corporate income tax, and in addition to the$9 billion it now won’t be paying Washingtonstate, it gets an estimated $1 billion in other statetax incentives, thanks to years of heavy lobbying,campaign donations, and sustained threatsto pack up and move. Thus, you can’t blame theconspiring corporate minds at Boeing for takinganother plane hostage—this time the 777X, asin Xtortion. Their demand that taxpayers pay aransom or their plane disappears worked before.And look who they’re dealing with: The statewent for the newest demand knowing full wellthat Boeing deceived the government after thefirst giveaway. Legislators even added languageto nullify exemptions should Boeing pull anotherCarolina. What part of “You can’t legislatemorality” don’t they understand?Boeing’s South Carolina strategy providesanother weapon to use on Washington: itsnon-union operations in North Charleston. Thethreat of outsourcing local jobs to that far-awayplant and other non-union locales has emboldenedBoeing’s bargaining position here (evenif Inslee’s office doesn’t see the harm: “They arejust diversifying,” says the governor’s aerospaceguy, Alex Pietsch). Workers this week are set tovote on a “piece of crap” offer, as the MachinistsUnion’s local leader calls Boeing’s proposal,which seeks to shift health-care costs to employeesand replace their longtime pension with asavings plan. One tortured Boeing worker, facedIn 2003, lawmakers and Gov. Gary Locke gave Boeing a$3 billion, 20-year tax break. Ten years later, Boeing insiststhat’s not enough.with this career Sophie’s Choice, told the Times’Dominic Gates: “It’s like I’m smiling while I’mbeing kicked in the balls. But it’s better thanbeing decapitated.”It’s a groinal sensation taxpayers might beexperiencing as well. Just as nobody wanted totalk about the 2003 fix, no one seemingly wantedto discuss the possibility that this tax break wasa fraud. Boeing had demanded that both thelegislature and the machinists concede to theirdemands, and that’s how Inslee saw it. But didthe company mislead the governor, or did thecheerleading Inslee, trailed by his legislative pepsquad, choose not to interpret the fine print,since union ratification of the contract aloneseemed to assure the new plane would be builthere? As Boeing’s letter of understanding to theunion states, “the Company,” in return for ratification,“agrees to locate the 777X wing fabricationand assembly, and the final assembly of the777X in Puget Sound.”Nine billion dollars and a kick in the ballslater, “This is a great day for everyone in Washington,”Inslee said. “Winning the 777X willsecure tens of thousands of jobs and yield hugeeconomic benefits for generations to come.” Itwas, almost word for word, pure Gary Locke—wherever he might be.

GOING TO POTSEATTLE WEEKLY • NOVEMBER 13 —19, 20138Solstice’s Alex Cooleyin his company’s SoDowarehouse.A grandmother, a Ph.D., and a multimillionaireare among the people scrambling to get businessin order as the I-502 starting gate finally opens.BY NINA SHAPIROPHOTOGRAPHY BY PETER KOVALFor people who want to starta legal marijuana business,if it’s not now or never, it’ssomething close to it.On Monday, Nov. 18, the state LiquorControl Board will open a 30-day windowfor applicants seeking a license toproduce, process, or sell marijuana. Sometime later—the board hasn’t announcedexactly when—it will begin to accreditmarijuana testing laboratories.The beginning has finally come for thenuts-and-bolts implementation of Initiative502, passed by voters last Novemberand making Washington one of only twostates, with Colorado, to legalize recreationalmarijuana. It’s a historic occasionthat many have likened to the end ofProhibition.But the dawn of what Fortune has called“Marijuana Inc.” has some unique twistsand turns. For one thing, Washington’swould-be entrepreneurs get this one shotat a license—perhaps their only shot ever.While there is a chance the LCB mightopen another window at some point,spokesperson Brian Smith allows, “Thereare no guarantees.”“This is not like any other business market,”he explains. He elaborates that LCBmembers deemed the 30-day period a wayto limit the number of pot businesses inthe state, which they thought necessaryto protect public safety and avoid thewrath of the feds. “We’re walking a fineline here,” he says.Hence the current frenzy of entrepreneurialactivity. Aspiring business ownershave pored over the 40 pages of regulationsapproved by the LCB last month,looking for angles and sometimes cursingrestrictions. The cap on retail licenses—334across the state, 21 in Seattle—loomslarge. So does the three-license limit forany one individual or business, whichthe LCB has said is meant to preventbig-money companies from swoopingin and dominating the market.» CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

SEATTLE WEEKLY • NOVEMBER 13 —19, 201310GOINGTOPOT» FROM PAGE 8In the days leading to the application window,the prospective business owners are preoccupiedwith financing, branding, and, especially, realestate. Applicants must submit an address wheretheir business will be located. Already a difficulttask for any business, it is made harder by amyriad of marijuana-specific obstacles.To avoid a backlash from the federal government,which still considers marijuana an illicit substance,the state has adopted restrictions importantto the feds. Applicants cannot declare an intentionto set up shop within 1,000 feet of schools, parks,libraries, or other facilities frequented by children.And then there are local zoning codes and thewariness of landlords to consider.Still, some prospective sellers have grand plans.Others are aiming for a niche market. A goodnumber have moved here from across the country—orin one case, the world—to get in on theindustry’s ground floor. Many are homegrown.They are in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. One isa Ph.D., another a grandmother, yet another aself-proclaimed “multimillionaire.”Here are the stories of four businesses tryingto overcome those obstacles, legitimizemarijuana, and maybe at the same time make afortune.Shy Sadis and Derek AndersonTHE JOINTIt’s a little more than three weeks before thelicensing window opens when Shy Sadisand Derek Anderson drive up to a dowdytwo-story building on a dead-end commercialroad in Kirkland.“I can tell you right now, it’s not my favoritespot,” says Anderson, a 33-year-old with a salesman’sfast-talking patter and casual businessattire: gray slacks, a button-down shirt, andleather shoes.“It’s got no curb appeal,” adds the blunterSadis, 40, dressed in jeans adorned with a beltbuckle bearing the logo of the medical-marijuanadispensary that he and Anderson founded fouryears ago, and now hope to convert into a chainof 502 retail stores. “The Joint,” the buckle says,with a pot leaf filling in the “o.”On the other hand, the building is near I-405,and it’s one of the few spots in Kirkland thatmeets the 1,000-foot rule.Sadis stays behind to talk on his cell phoneabout other prospects while Anderson entersthe building through the computer business thatoccupies the bottom floor. “I’m looking for theowner,” he tells the blonde, middle-aged womanbehind the counter. “That’s me,” she says. He sayshe’s looking for a location to house his business.“What kind of business are you in?” she asks.“We’re gearing up to start a 502 business,” hesays brightly.“OK,” she says noncommittally.But as Anderson keeps talking—working inthat he was “born and raised” in Kirkland andthat he and Sadis “run their business like a business”—theowner and her husband, who wandersover, seem supportive.“I just read this morning that 54 percent ofAmericans support legalizing marijuana,” shesays. Her husband adds that he heard there’s a“former Microsoft executive trying to get intothe business”—a reference to Jamen Shively, theself-proclaimed “dot-bong” entrepreneur whosegrandiose plans, albeit clouded by behind-thescenesshakeups, have garnered national press.(See “Jamen Shively’s Green Rush,” SW, Oct. 9.)Sadis, who has since entered, scoffs. The publicityreaped by Shively, whom he considers anopportunistic newbie, is a sore point with him.“We’re the pioneers,” he says. But he doesn’t arguewith the couple’s general drift.Sadis and Anderson are primarily interestedin leasing, though the owners reveal that they’vebeen trying to sell the building for years. They arewell aware of its sudden desirability to 502 entrepreneurs,a flurry of whom have already come by.“They were very interested,” the husband says ofone group.“Here’s our main concern,” says the woman,whose next words explain why she and her husbandask not to be identified in this story. “Iffor some reason the feds come against this, thebuilding could be confiscated.”Anderson jumps in to relate that the Departmentof Justice released a statement in Augustindicating that it would not move against Washingtonand Colorado as long as they abide bycertain guidelines.The couple nods. They’ve heard about that. Thehusband enthusiastically takes the entrepreneurson a tour of the place, pointing out attributes likecinder-block walls that he says even a sledgehammercouldn’t pierce.After the tour, the wife reiterates: “Look, we’regetting close to retirement age. We don’t want tohave our assets seized.” But she and her husbandagree to consider an offer. The entrepreneurs saythey’ll be in touch.Whether or not this building works out,Anderson and Sadis are prepared to move ahead.They have already secured three locations whereShy Sadis and DerekAnderson take a break fromtheir real-estate hunt.they can operate 502 businesses, in Tacoma,Snohomish, and Bellingham. They also have twomedical-marijuana dispensaries in Seattle, in theU District and Capitol Hill, but those won’t meetstate regulations for 502 shops.In fact, those dispensaries will likely haveto close. In late October, a state working groupproposed regulations for the medical-marijuanaindustry that would funnel all legal pot salesthrough 502 stores. Yet Sadis and Anderson don’twant to give up the Seattle market. So they continueto look for sites in the city and nearby.The Bellingham location is the one thatexcites Sadis, and it has nothing to do with marketpotential. Last year, Bellingham authoritiescharged him with marijuana distribution after araid on a Joint dispensary in that city. (Andersonwas not charged because his name was not onthe paperwork; Sadis says his own ownershipstake in the business is much larger.)Court records say that the raid followedundercover buys at The Joint in which detectiveswere asked to show proof of authorizationby a health-care provider, making the chargessomewhat puzzling. However, the documentsalso note that Sadis acquiesced when one detectiveoffered to sell him pot, which may or maynot be illegal depending on your interpretationof the law.In any case, the cops later came looking forhim, first at his home in Mill Creek, then at hisson’s baseball game. Tipped off by his girlfriend,Sadis says, he left the game and drove to Bellinghamto surrender in court.Sadis never did any jail time and worked outa “stipulated order of continuance” whereby thecase will be dismissed in three years if he refrainsfrom future felony marijuana crimes in WhatcomCounty. The deal does not bar him from openinga 502 store, since that is legal.“It’s going to be super-sweet the day I opena 502 location [in Bellingham] and shove it intheir ass,” Sadis says.Sadis’ ambitions stretch beyond Bellingham,and even beyond the state. “The Joint,” he says.“It’s super-catchy. I can take that brand anywhere.”He says he’s already registered businessesunder that name in Nevada and Illinois, inpreparation for what he hopes will be legalizationefforts in those states, and has bought the rightsto the urls “thejointllc.com” and “thejointcoop.com.” (Thejoint.com has already been snappedup, he explains, by a chiropractor.)He and Anderson are also discussing ways toget around this state’s three-license limit. They’remulling a franchise-type operation, wherebyfriends, family members, and acquaintanceswould apply for licenses.LCB spokesperson Smith says “it would bevery difficult” to establish such an operationbecause of rules that require license applicantsto declare “true parties of interest,” who are thenheld to the three-license limit. One suspects,though, that if there’s a loophole, Sadis andAnderson will find it.The two—both of whom consume marijuanafor medical purposes, Anderson for kneeinjuries related to sporting accidents, Sadis formigraines—met while working in the real-estateindustry. Anderson flipped houses before getting“punched in the head by the economy,” he relates.Sadis, luckier, says he became a multimillionaireby buying foreclosed properties and apartmentbuildings.In their new line of work, they practice charity.They have made donations to the unions of KingCounty police and Seattle firefighters. (Regardingpeople who want to give money, “We don’tdiscriminate,” says the police union’s Bob Casey.)They also participate in the annual Toys for Kidsdrive hosted by Mariners’ broadcaster Rick Rizzs.(Donate a toy, get a free gram of pot.) Yet theyalso have a keen sense of the bottom line.“I’m an entrepreneur,” Sadis stresses. “I’ll sellshit if it makes me money.”Cooleyexamineshis crop.Alex CooleySOLSTICEis the little thing thatmakes us so special,” saysAlex Cooley. He’s referring to“Thisa document he’s just placedon a wooden conference table in his spare butchic office space on the first floor of a renovated1927 SoDo warehouse. The prized possession isa certificate of occupancy from Seattle’s Departmentof Planning and Development, whichgives Cooley the right to grow marijuana on thepremises.

DPD issued the certificate in March—wellin advance of the state’s issuance of 502 licensesand the city’s establishment of zoning regulationsspecific to the cannabis industry, which it didin October. Cooley—a self-assured 28-year-oldwith a clean-cut look alloyed by lobe-stretchingdisc earrings and finger tattoos that on one handspell LOVE and on the other LIFE—wanted toset up shop sooner than that. And he wanted todo so with the city’s blessing.So, he says, “We went through the front doorof the city of Seattle.” His pitch to DPD, herelates, was “Let us be the example.”“It was clear he wanted to do everythingright,” recalls Brennon Staley, the DPD’s projectmanager for marijuana zoning regulations.Although the city didn’t have such regulationson the books yet, it did have them for somethingcalled “vertical farming.” No one was quite surewhat that was since nobody had ever applied forsuch a permit, but it was intended to promoteurban farming that maximized building space.Cooley, Staley says, “made a compelling argument”that his plan for a marijuana productionfacility fit the bill.And so Cooley’s company, Solstice, begangrowing pot in the SoDo space and selling hisyield to medical-marijuana dispensaries. He isnow avidly pursuing the recreational market. Infact, he intends to grow his business exponentially.Solstice is the company that Mark Kleiman,the UCLA professor who has served as the state’sWarning of a productionshortage in the first yearof 502 implementation,Kleiman noted that there wasonly one already-permittedproducer that Seattlecould count on.top pot consultant, referred to at an August SeattleCity Council briefing. Warning of a productionshortage in the first year of 502 implementation—given the time it takes to get a marijuana businessapproved through state and local authorities andthen actually grow the plant—Kleiman noted thatthere was only one already-permitted producerthat Seattle could count on.Solstice’s position has come at considerable cost.As Cooley observes, “It’s expensive being legitimate.”He says he and his two partners plannedto spend $80,000 to bring his 9,000-square-footspace up to code: putting in insulation, upgradingthe sprinkler system. Instead, the work ate up athird of a million dollars.“We almost went bankrupt,” Cooley says.They averted that fate, he says, by taking smallsalaries, reaching into their personal savings, andputting all the money they earned back into thecompany.Solstice is now a busy and sprawling operation,with 12 employees occupying three floors,including a mezzanine break room boastinga ping-pong table. The hub of the company,though, is its subterranean level, which devolvesinto a warren of rooms accessible only by key.As Cooley heads downstairs to give a tour, thesweetly cloying odor of pot becomes detectable,albeit not overpoweringly so due to the carbonfilters the company has installed. Stop one is agarage-sized room where five workers—all menin their 20s or early 30s, who found their wayto Solstice through word-of-mouth or ads thecompany has placed on Craigslist and Monster.com–are breaking down plants into bud-heavybranches and hanging them on racks where theywill dry for five to seven days.“See how few leaves there are, how swollenthe bud is?” Cooley asks, holding up one suchbranch. Those qualities, aesthetically pleasingto buyers and thought to increase potency, arepart of what allows the entrepreneur to sell hisproduct as “premium” cannabis. Temperature,humidity, and carbon dioxide exposure are allfactors Solstice plays with to achieve them, andto prevent mold and other hazards.We next go to what Cooley calls a “clean roompass-through,” a changing area where we donwhite lab coats before heading into the “donorroom.” There, cuttings from other plants grow onracks until they’re big enough to make it into the“vegetative room.” They’ll eventually get transferredto yet another room reserved for plants thatare flowering. It takes between four and a halfmonths and a year for a cutting to reach this stage.Cooley points out plants of the “tangelo” and“blueberry cheesecake” strains, which are supposedto smell like their namesakes. (The tangeloreally does, the blueberry cheesecake not somuch.)Then it’s back upstairs to the “safe room,”where processed buds and joints are kept underlock and key. “As you can see, there’s very littlein here,” Cooley says, opening the safe to revealonly a few vials. That’s because Solstice sellsout almost immediately to the 15 dispensarieshe supplies, including the Northwest PatientResource Center, which is aligned with ex-Microsoftie Jamen Shively.Dozens more want to buy his marijuana, but,he says, “We can’t keep up.”Cooley, who went into the marijuana businessafter a hiring freeze prevented him from findinga teaching job in Seattle, and who cultivatesa progressive corporate image as carefully ashe does his crops, says he’s also choosy aboutwhom he sells to. “Our ideologies have to align,”he maintains. Solstice’s ideology, according toCooley, is environmentally conscious, pro–FairTrade, and LGBT-friendly, although he admitsa dispensary’s policy on, say, gay rights doesn’talways come up.Solstice is now planning a major expansionas the recreational market comes online. He isapplying for three producer and three processorlicenses. If the company gets all of those, itcould have six separate facilities in addition tothe SoDo operation. Despite its unique status asa city-approved, 502-ready facility, Cooley sayshe might reserve it for the medical market, apossibility he is entertaining due to the intricatedetails of state regulations. Most notably, theLCB is stipulating that producers and processorscannot work with marijuana plants they alreadyhave. Rather, to preserve the integrity of a “traceability”software system that will keep track ofpot products from “start to sale,” entrepreneursmust bring new seeds and starter plants onsitewithin 15 days of starting operations under astate license.“We’d have to close down for a time,” Cooleysays. “It would cost us a half-million to a milliondollars to transition. We might as well take thatmoney and build another facility.”On the downside, if the legislature decidesto do away with dispensaries, the SoDo facilitywould be left without a clientele.

More, obviously, willbecome evident in time.“We’ve got a one-year, three-year, and fiveyearplan,” he says.Molly PoisetMolly Poiset was learning howto make pastries at a CordonBleu school in Paris when I-502passed. The school was a careerturn for Poiset, who had spent many years as aninterior designer for wealthy clients in the Coloradoski resort town of Telluride.Among the many reasons it was an interestingmove was that Poiset has celiac disease, whichprevents her from eating gluten. She says shewanted to learn to cook pastries the French wayso she could adjust the recipes to exclude flour.well-educated, professional, conservative people.People, that is, like her daughter.Three years ago, her daughter became severelyill with leukemia. Poiset learned, though a familysupport group she joined, that marijuanamight help. But, she says, “the subject couldn’t bebroached.” She felt sure that her daughter wouldnever consider pot.Following a stem-cell transplant, her daughteris doing much better, but Poiset is continuing hermission to create cannabis fare so enticing thather daughter and others like her would try it.That, Poiset believes, makes her stand out in theindustry.“Right now, anybody else who’s in the businessof what we call ‘medibles’ are doing Rice Krispietreats, suckers, gummy bears,” she says. “They’lltake fortune cookies and dip it in chocolate that’sgot some cannabis and call it dessert.”The question she faced while in Paris waswhere she should relocate to. Despite hailingfrom Colorado, she quickly realized that Washingtonwas the place to be. Colorado is giving itsfirst recreational marijuana licenses to existingmedical operations, while Washington’s process isopen to all comers.Poiset found a condo in an old Queen Annehigh school-turned-condominium complex thatreminds her of Paris, with its stately architecture,urban feel, and courtyard fountain decoratedby sculpted lions. She turned the living-roomspace into an expanded kitchen, lining shelvesagainst one wall with French-style pots and pans.“They’re very different. They have no bottoms!”she says, holding up one circular metal pan inwhich you can allegedly bake a cake.Molly Poiset in herhome kitchen.SEATTLE WEEKLY • NOVEMBER 13 —19, 201312More wiggle in the wag!citydogclub.comDog Daycare • Dog BoardingDog Grooming • Dog Shop809 Olive Way, Suite B • Seattle, WA 98101206/623-5395When Washington and Colorado legalizedrecreational marijuana, she realized she couldtinker with the recipes in yet another way.

Opera music is playing inthe background.She says she’s still experimenting withrecipes—although she tastes her creations onlybefore she infuses them with marijuana, not after.“It’s not my thing,” she says of pot, and anywayshe doesn’t want to get “baked” while she’s working.For that pleasure, she employs experiencedpot users as taste-testers.Meanwhile, she is trying to get up to speed onLCB rules, the contacts she should know in theindustry, and the Seattle neighborhoods whereshe might locate her business. The state does notgive her the option of operating out of her home.By early November, she still hasn’t found aplace. Agents and landlords, desperate to provetheir liberal credentials, will say things like “Wevoted for Obama,” Poiset says. And then they’llhang up on her. But she’s confident that someleads will come through.In the meantime, her plans are firming up. Sheknows she’s applying for a producer as well as aprocessor license. “I need to be in control of thesupply chain,” she says, explaining that she wantsto cultivate marijuana strains that are known formedical rather than psychoactive properties.She won’t be able to market her goods withmedicinal claims; that’s forbidden by state rules.But she notes that the LCB will allow entrepreneursto run a website about the medical side ofpot as long as it is unconnected to their businesses.Producers and processors cannot get retaillicenses, so Poiset will have to sell her pastriesto the public through other outlets—all 21 ofthem, she notes with a wry laugh, referring to themaximum number of stores allowed in Seattle.She says she won’t be able to go much furtherafield to reach more stores because of yet morerules that prohibit using delivery people outsideof one’s business.In September, Poiset earned an accolade thatshould help her market herself. Every year, themagazine High Times hosts a “Cannabis Cup”awards ceremony in Seattle, with categories like“Best Sativa” (referring to one type of marijuanaplant), “Best Concentrate,” and “Best Edible.”In this last category, Poiset entered a cannabisinfusedwhite-chocolate truffle laced withfrankincense and edible gold. She says she wasn’texpecting a win, in part because of her outsiderstatus in the industry, which was reinforced at theevent, held in a Fremont banquet hall. “Everyonelooked very young and had many tattoos,” sherecalls. She says her contrasting presence madeher think of the Sesame Street song “One of TheseThings (Is Not Like the Others).”When the winners were announced, sherecalls, “I was way, way in the back.” So whenshe heard she won second place for her truffle,she had to elbow her way to the front, repeating“Excuse me, excuse me.” She was thrilled.Ed Stremlow, Lara Taubner, RandallOliver, Brenton Dawber, John BrownANALYTICAL 360Sir/ Madam,I am a French student in biological engineeringat the University of Technology of Compiègne.

Believing that marijuana is a safermedical treatment than many pharmaceuticaldrugs, she applied for an internship; was told byStremlow that there was a long waiting list; sentan application anyway; and scored a position.Her attention to detail in repetitive tests singledher out as a “rock star,” Stremlow says, and she isnow the company’s lab manager.A marijuana testing lab might seem anunusual career path for young scientists, but theyare likely reassured by the presence of veterans.Most notable is Lara Taubner, a biochemistryPh.D. who this fall quit her job as a post-doctoralresearcher at the University of Montana,where she studied mad cow disease in a federallyfunded lab, to devote herself full time to beingAnalytical’s chief scientist.She says she was persuaded to leap from academiainto the decidedly more turbulent worldof marijuana after looking at the research on thedrug’s medicinal effects. Frequently discussedis the drug’s usefulness as a cancer treatment.What’s more, she says, “there are definitely ideasout there that cannabis can help prevent diseaseslike Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, even diabetes.”She would like Analytical to someday moveinto medical research. Yet she also saw a moreimmediate need in the marijuana industry: makingthe drug safe and reliable. “That’s basicallyAnalytical 360’sstaff tests forpotency andpathogens.a scientific endeavor,” she says. Her husband,Randall Oliver, who with a B.S. is less academicallycredentialed than his wife but has workedfor many years testing compounds and designingprocesses for pharmaceutical companies, wasalso enthusiastic about the idea—as were threeSeattle-based friends of theirs, including Stremlow,who were itching to try something new withtheir careers.“You hear horror stories of patients whohave eaten something [infused with cannabis]and gotten sick or slept for the whole day,” saysStremlow, a former real-estate appraiser.So with the backing of their friends, Oliver andTaubner in 2011 started a marijuana testing labin their Montana basement, devoting their sparetime to the endeavor. They and their three cofounderseventually moved the business to Seattleto cater to the thriving medical-marijuana markethere. Other than Northwest Botanical Analysis,founded around the same time, there were noother marijuana testing labs here at the time.The Stone Way space Analytical moved intois compact.

Then they can be analyzedwith hulking equipment, which resembleseveral fax machines piled atop each other andutilize a method of quantifying compoundsknown as high-performance chromatography.The results do not always please customers.On this August day, a representative ofa California-based company that makes amarijuana-infused soda comes in to discuss thedisturbingly low potency Analytical’s tests haverevealed. “He’s getting 18 milligrams of THC,”Stremlow explains, referring to pot’s psychoactivecompound. “He was expecting 72.”» CONTINUED ON PAGE 19Celebrate the opening of EMP’S Martin Schoeller: Close Up• Explore the world of portraiture with Photo Center NW • Sketch a celebrity headshot in RyanMolenkamp’s The Portrait Challenge • Go face-to-face with Seattle Met’s photobooth • Snap yourown Schoeller inspired self-portrait • Enjoy electronic dance grooves from KEXP’s DJ RizMartin Schoeller’s large-scale photographic headshots put some of the most recognizable faces fromthe world of rock, cinema, the sports field, and the political podium alongside American teens andtribespeople from Tanzania and the Amazon.

Dawber speculatesthat the THC is getting stuck around the bottletops because of insufficient use of an emulsifier.The soda rep takes it in.Stremlow, who joins them, tells the rep that heknows that the California company’s salespeoplehave been bad-mouthing the lab. If it doesn’t stop,Stremlow warns, he’s going to bring in all the lab’sclients—some of them dispensaries that buy thesoda—and set the record straight. “I don’t thinkyou’ll have many accounts left,” he says.Analytical 360 has had tobuy expensive new equipmentthat can perform additionaltests required of marijuanaentrepreneurs. The questionnow is where to put it.The rep, seemingly convinced by Dawber’spresentation, diffuses the tension. “I’ll let my salesguys know to correct their verbiage,” he says.Afterward, Stremlow says that he’ll have totake an even harder line when the recreationalmarket comes online. “I’m not going to tell themhow to fix their product. They’re going to have topay for that.”Analytical plans to seek state accreditation soit can operate under 502, which obliges the lab tomake certain investments. For instance, it has hadto buy expensive new equipment that can performadditional tests required of marijuana entrepreneurs,such as those looking for pesticides. Thequestion now is where to put the equipment.Needing more space, the lab found a buildingin Georgetown with receptive owners. Theowners’ bank, however, threatened to call in itsloan if they rented to Analytical. For months, theowners have been trying to find a bank that willrefinance the loan. Meanwhile, the equipment issitting in storage.While banks have been squeamish, othershave expressed interest in investing in Analytical.Over lunch at the Tutta Bella down the streetfrom their Wallingford offices, Stremlow andDawber recall how a couple of retired guys withmoney to spare took them to dinner at nearbyBlue Star Cafe & Pub.“They had been in gray markets before,” Dawbersays.“Strip joints, porn shops,” is Stremlow’s recollection.At the end of the evening, Analytical’sfounders concluded the retirees were more interestedin reminiscing about old times than aboutputting down hard cash.No matter. Stremlow says he and his cofoundersare wary of giving up an ownershipstake to investors, even though the lab’s biggestchallenges may lay ahead. As the 502 era getsunderway, Analytical founders are expecting asurge of new labs.“Only the strongest will survive,” Stremlowsays. “We hope we’ll be one of them.” Enshapiro@seattleweekly.comTours available in Seattle, Woodinville, Eastside,North of Seattle and South of Seattle.pugetsoundbrewerytours.com206.384.3637SEATTLE WEEKLY PROMOTIONSWIN TICKETS TO ThESEATTLE MARAThON!This year, 15,000 participants are expected for themarathon and half marathon walking and runningevents.

While theseason for chanterelles and matsutakes is windingdown, hedgehogs, black trumpets, and yellow-footedchanterelles are in full swing and willgo into winter. “It really never ends,” Shane says.Cook will later echo that sentiment, and add thatthe yellow-foots are great in a Christmas stuffing.But, maddeningly, mysteriously, a particularlyplentiful spot of any kind might be devoid the followingyear. Another survival mechanism of mushrooms,perhaps. The forager’s fixation, for sure.Another call comes: Sieb confirms he’s stillloading up on hedgehogs. “How can we not befinding them?” I ask Shane desperately.“Ahh, he may just be a little deeper in thanus.” We find a few chanterelles that aren’t rotten—golden,with ridges (rather than gills) thatrun down the stem.

He’s tall, with long, dark hairpulled back in a ponytail, gold hoops in each ear,and tats all over his arm. He’s holding severalbags of mushrooms, which he’ll be serving in therestaurant, of course. He sits down and orders usall glasses of Fernet Branca on ice—a clear indicationI’m in the company of chefs.Satiated by the PROMOTIONSmeal and the mushroomextravaganza, Shane and I are quieter on our tripback. He tells me it’s his night off, and he’s goingto prepare a matsutake salad for his wife whenshe gets home from work. Sliced super-thin,he adds. These mushrooms are too special to becooked. I get mine home, wash them lightly withwet paper towels, and place them all over mykitchen counter. It’s pretty surreal-looking.My phone buzzes with a text message. It’sShane. “Make sure to smell all your matsutakesto be positive that they are them.”One by one I pick up my pounds of matsutakes.Only one doesn’t exude cinnamon. Shit. It’s a preciousOne. But I can’t take a chance. I toss it.I head to my computer and pull up a map ofWhidbey. The name of the road I repeated threetimes comes to me. I think I zero in on the turn.Though I’ll never print the location, I know I’mgoing back there myself this weekend. Maybe I’llrun into Shane, maybe Sieb. But more important,maybe I’ll meet up with more matsutakes, orfinally find those hedgehogs. Ensprinkle@seattleweekly.comARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

DELICIOUS MENU | HAPPY HOUR SPECIALS | CATERINGEight Ways toPiss Off a BartenderWhile I try to use The Bar Codeto educate, to enrich, and toenhance your drinking experience,this week I ask yourpardon as I vent. The truth is, some peoplehave no idea how to act at a bar. I’m not talkingabout getting belligerent, angry, and projectileTHEBARCODEBY ZACH GEBALLEvomit-y,thoughof coursethat’s plentyannoying. I’m talking about the basics of baretiquette. After consulting with colleagues, hereis a far-from-definitive list of the reasons yourbartender (and the customer sitting next toyou) might hate you, even if we’d never say soto your face.You ask for a happy-hour menu at non-happyhourtimes. The list of restaurants that servehappy hour at 7:30 on aSaturday night is as follows:_______________.You ask “What’s on draft?”while standing in front of thetaps. Weirdly, that informationis provided for you in severalspots: the tap handles you’restaring right past and thedrink list you haven’t opened.You put your purse, bag, or coats on another barseat. Bar stools are for people—people who willdrink and eat and tip. Your coat, your shoppingbags, and your purse will not. As for using thoseitems to save a seat? For someone who will bearriving imminently, fine. For someone whowon’t be showing up for an hour? Not cool.You ask for a more generous pour. Come on. Youare entitled to the drink you ordered, which is atwo-ounce shot in most bars. True, we can (andsometimes do) pour stiffer drinks for certainpeople—usually the ones who treat us well, comein regularly, and tip well.You refuse to slide down to open up seats. We’veall seen it: groups of two or three at the bar with“buffer seats” between each group. Hey, I knowit’s nice to have some privacy, but those sad littleindividual seats don’t look too inviting. Buffersare OK when a bar is slow, but if I see a grouplooking for seats, I will ask you (politely) to moveone direction or the other.You snap your fingers or yell at the bartender.Hey, I get it. You want another drink. Guesswhat? So do the two people who ordered beforeyou, and the three tables in the restaurant whojust sat down and ordered cocktails.You mistreat the person you’re with. Nothingpoisons a bar experience like a couple sitting nextto you who won’t stop arguing. Alcohol amplifiesmoods and lowers inhibitions, and for somefriends and lovers that means it’s time to air allthat dirty laundry in public. Save that for thetherapist.You try to steal cash out of other people’s checkpresenters and use it to pay your bar tab. The goodnews is, most of you are wonderful, lovely people,and many of the rest of you just don’t know anybetter. The guy who tried to steal cash, though?You deserved exactly what happened to you.So what bothers you about your fellow barpatrons? Or even (gasp!) bartenders?

arts&cultureThe Surveillance TrollAn anonymous stranger is trying to provoke you with his video camera,then putting the results on YouTube. Is he an artist, an asshole, or both?BY DAVE LAKEHis favorite targets include thehomeless, Asian shop owners,security guards, and cabbies. Withan unwavering stare and nerves ofsteel, he aims his video camera at them,seemingly intent on eliciting anger, confusion,and anything else his unwilling subjectscare to muster.Known only as Surveillance CameraMan, this provocateur’s YouTube videoshave become viral, controversial hits, mostyielding over 100,000 views. He’s uploadedfive compilations since October 2012, eachfollowing a simple template: SCM, as we’llcall him, walks up to a stranger, usually ina public space, and silently trains his lenson them.When the subjects wonder why they’rebeing filmed, his response is almost alwaysthe same: “Just taking a video.” (SCM’sface is never seen.) Each compilation runs4 to 6 minutes and contains several clips ofSCM annoying people in various locations.The clips appear to be shot with a tinycamera or cell phone, adding to the target’sinitial confusion about what’s happening.“It’s not easy to sum up the recipe of aviral video,” says Brad Kim, managing editorof Seattle’s Know Your Meme (part of theCheezburger family of websites). He citesthe “repetition of a single motif, brevity in length,elements of drama and surprise. And with the caseof Surveillance Camera Man in particular, voyeurismand timeliness.”With Edward Snowden and the NSA surveillancescandal as a backdrop, SCM’s videos mightarguably be making a political/artistic point. Inone early reel, he alludes to the ubiquity of surveillancecameras in public. “Look at it this way,”he says to his target. “Do you ever go to the grocerystore? You know how there’s, like, surveillancecameras everywhere? It’s not a big deal.”He’s been more silent in recent videos, leavingInternet commenters to debate whether theproject is intended as art or simple trolling—likethose sidewalk-slapping videos and other punkwith-a-camerastunts.SCM’s goal seems to be to provoke rather thanenlighten, and the clips make entertaining viewing—ifnot art that might be seen in a gallery.Sharon Arnold, owner of Georgetown’s LxWxHgallery, which sometimes features video installations,says she isn’t sure whether it’s art or not.“It’s definitely commentary,” she offers. “Andit really hits home. We wouldn’t want a personrecording us.”In his only known interview, SCM e-mailedthe website Photography Is Not a Crime lastNovember. Of his project’s origins, he wrote, “Iwas with a friend who wanted to film a socialexperiment. But we didn’t have audio equipment.I explained how we could only get good audio ifwe pushed the camera directly into people’s faces.After the first couple of approaches, he couldn’tkeep a straight face. It was all me after that.”The in-your-face approach generally yields ahostile response—or perhaps those are the onlyones SCM posts. (If people don’t get angry, hewon’t get clicks.) People naturally resent beingfilmed without consent and having their personalspace invaded.Here’s a typical exchange, between SCM anda business-dressed guy seated outside a Starbucks,talking on his phone:Man: “What are we doing here? I’d appreciateit if you’d go somewhere else with that.”SCM: “It’s OK, it’s just a video.”For a moment, the Starbucks patron seemsamused, revealing a hint of a smile. He can’t believethe balls of this guy. Then he grows more agitated.Man: “It’s offensive to me. I’m trying tohave a private conversation. Could you respectthat? . . . Could you please move? Do you notunderstand what I’m saying?”SCM: “Calm down.”Man: “Leave! Fuck you, ya got it! And thehorse you rode in on! You have no respect foranybody. What are you gonna do, follow mearound now?”And as the target gets up to walk away . . .Man: “You even look like a dumb fuck.”Another common reaction to SCM is the claimthat he needs permission to film them. Thetruth is he doesn’t, says Portland attorney Bert P.Krages, who specializes in photographers’ rights.“If he’s just recording what he’s seeing, there’s noreal issue with regard to him getting releases.”That’s why paparazzi don’t need signed releasesfrom celebs for permission to use their images fortabloids and gossip websites.Krages adds, “The general rule in theUnited States is that anyone may take photographsof whatever they want when theyare in a public place.” And that includes thepeople in those places; there is no right toprivacy on the sidewalk.In private spaces to which the public isinvited, like Baskin Robbins or the Churchof Scientology (both appear in SCM clips),the rules are different. There, as in mostmalls and stores, photography is generallyallowed until someone with authority overthe premises, like a business owner or restaurantmanager, asks you to stop.Krages continues, “The dicey area in thislegally comes with regard to the audio portionof taking video.” Washington state haswhat’s called a two-party notification law,which means both parties in a conversationhave to consent to its being recorded. “Oncepeople were clearly not consenting [SCM]to record their conversation,” says Krages,“he probably did cross a line.” What aboutharassment or public-nuisance laws? “Themere fact that someone’s annoyed by itgenerally won’t be enough.”Also, there’s no way to identify this namelessfilmmaker to file a complaint. He ignoredmy interview request, and his YouTube pageannounces that “SCM does not have a Facebookor website.” Judging from his filminglocations—U Village, Big W Cleaners, LostSock Laundry, etc.—it’s clear he roams the UDistrict and Capitol Hill. He’s in his late 20s,according to Photography Is Not a Crime,where he declared, “I don’t see any reason towave my hands in the air and shout, ‘Lookat me! I’m the Surveillance Camera Man!’ Ifsomething I do gets a lot of attention, great.But I don’t need to be a celebrity.”The hypocrisy of that statement, of course, isthat SCM exploits the privacy of others whilepreserving his own. Street photographers likeLee Friedlander, Garry Winogrand, and HenriCartier-Bresson captured subjects in publicplaces, too, but they sought beauty in unprovokedmoments. They portrayed their subjects from arespectful distance—not by creating a gotchamoment by thrusting a camera into someone’sface for lulz.SCM may create compelling content, but hissupposed message—about privacy or photographers’rights or whatever—is muddled by hisbad manners. Because his videos are so meanspirited,they’ll never rise to be anything morethan junk-food click-bait.

Music was aclarion call to anyone listening that the Atlantarapper was on top of the world. As soon as thebass drops in lead single “Big Beast,” the MCerupts, growling “POW, motherfucker! POW!”like an action hero roundhouse-kicking a peon inthe face. That’s what’s great about Killer Mike:He’s not afraid to pick a few bones. The album’ssecond single, “Reagan,” takes the late presidentto task for the war on drugs, trickle-down economics,and the inherent racism of his policies.“I leave you with four words: I’m glad Reagandead,” the song chillingly ends. With his newRun the Jewels, Killer Mike continues on thesame warpath. Tonight’s performance is the latestinstallment of the Red Bull Sound Select series,this time curated by Sub Pop. That means if youRSVP, you can see Killer Mike for a measly $3,a steal by any measure. Also on the bill, localsOCnotes and Porter Ray are opening, bothgems in their own right. OCnotes’ self-described“Alien BootyBass” is exactly what it soundslike: spacey, warped jazz beats that float aroundbehind the rapper’s philosophical musings.

L’Arbitrointercuts scenes of village life with the decliningfortunes of a smug, slick soccer ref (“l’arbitro”).For director Paolo Zucca, the comic spin mattersmore than the trajectory of the ball. For no goodreason, the ref does a slo-mo ballet of sorts on thedusty soccer pitch. The local star, recently returnedfrom Argentina, sports a mullet, a handlebarmustache, and a fashion sense belonging to themid-’70s. His team’s coach is actually blind, andtheir dark-shirted rivals are lead by the nefariouslocal land baron. And while the ref preaches“respect for the rules,” what L’Arbitro celebratesis anarchic disrespect. Or rather, it’s as if civilizationand rules are just a thin veneer over medievalcodes for sport, courtship, and revenge—all ofwhich we see enacted. Appropriately, the movieends with a raucous festival, which can launch youto the after-party at the Hunt Club up at the Sorrento.The series ends Thursday with the highlyacclaimed and anticipated The Great Beauty, aboutItaly’s glamorous national stasis, by director PaoloSorrentino (This Must Be the Place, Il Divo).

That horrific quagmire would haunt anentire generation of British soldiers and historians;over here, it barely registers. (The U.S. onlyentered World War I the following April.) Todaybased in Portland, the Australian-raised cartoonist/journalistJoe Sacco read about the battle as aboy, and now he’s drawn a continuous, 24-footlongaccount of July 1, called The Great War(Norton, $35). It’s a wordless, intricate panoramabased on years of research. There are no heroesSTEPHANIE MACKINNONGeppi Cucciari as thevillage beauty in L’Arbitro.and only one historical figure (English Gen.Douglas Haig) as the day literally unfolds—youcan read the spineless book in your lap by flippingpanels, or lay the whole thing on the floor.Sacco’s separate annotations and a companionessay by Adam Hochschild helps make senseof the carnage, in which 21,000 Brits died onday one. What the black-and-white illustrationcaptures is the sense of scale, as a veritable riverof troops pours into thetrenches and over thetop, then becomessnared in thebarbed wire, whereGerman machineguns cut them toribbons. We seehorses near thestart of Sacco’sgraphicNORTONnarrative,whichthen details the new industrial scale of war: thearmaments and supplies that made possible thismassive, inconclusive gathering of men. Thebattle lasted into October, with an aggregatedeath toll estimated at 300,000, which makesSacco’s 24-foot tale seem small.

arts&culture» StageOpeningNightsJesus’ SonWEST OF LENIN, 203 N. 36TH ST.,216-0833, BOOK-IT.ORG. $22.7:30 P.M. WED.–SUN. ENDS NOV. 24.FINAL SIXPERFORMANCES!The primary challenge facing Book-It RepertoryTheatre in its adaptation of Jesus’ Son isthat Denis Johnson’s 1992 story collection lacksa clear narrative arc. Instead, the 11 stories areloosely linked by a few themes—rampant druguse and bad decisions chief among them—andthe brutally honest perspective of a desperatenarrator who speaks in Johnson’s lucid barroompoetry. Jeff Schwager’s adaptation boldly forces anarrative on the stories by having one actor playthe role of the narrator throughout. The resultis a memory play that jolts from one bad situationto another. The hero’s search for meaningis meandering and foggy, yet the collected talesdo create a sense of story and culminate in a fewstartling moments of grace.Scott Ward Abernethy plays the protagonistFuckhead with a true addict’s sense of resignation.Beset by bed-head and a hunger for heroinand pills, Fuckhead stumbles from one vignetteto another. (Schwager has not included all ofJohnson’s original tales here, but cherry-pickedthose with the greatest theatrical possibility.)Josh Aaseng directs the show, expanded fromlast fall’s staging, for Book-It’s traveling Circumbendibusprogram. Here, in West of Lenin’sblack-box space, the set is anchored by a barselling $4 PBRs, with live music from guitaristOwen Ross and multi-instrumentalist/vocalistAnnie Jantzer. The duo plays a key role inthe production, performing background musicthroughout and giving Jesus’ Son a sense of place,in time at least, by playing old rock songs like“Cowgirl in the Sand” and “Bird on a Wire.”In the first scene, based on Johnson’s story“Car Crash While Hitchhiking,” Fuckhead has apremonition of disaster for the young family thatoffers him a ride. He gets in anyway, telegraphinghis death wish, and the audience is treatedto a disquieting bit of stagecraft. As Fuckheadnarrates, the wreck is enacted in slow motion,the family’s horror made apparent as the bandplays “Heroin,” the tense and propulsive VelvetUnderground song with the lyric that gaveJohnson the title for his collection. Hearing thescreams of the driver’s widow in the hospitallater, Fuckhead proclaims, “I’ve gone looking forthat feeling everywhere.”This is Jesus’ Son’s most powerful moment,and, like Fuckhead, I was spoiled by it—hopingfor another dreadful fix. The play neveragain achieves such complete synergy of music,performers, and text. Yet the strong and feveredperformances—in particular Zach Adair’s ashospital janitor Georgie—keep the tenuous narrativetogether enough to let Johnson’s intoxicatingprose shine. MARK BAUMGARTENPKylián + PiteMCCAW HALL, 321 MERCER ST. (SEATTLECENTER), 441-2424, PNB.ORG. $28–$174. 7:30P.M. THURS. & SAT., 1 P.M. SUN. ENDS NOV. 17.After opening its season with one iconoclast,Pacific Northwest Ballet is following up withSHANNON ERICKSONAbernethy asour hapless hero inJesus’ Son.two others. Like Twyla Tharp, the CzechoslovakiabornJiří Kylián and Canada’s Crystal Pite are bothtaking ballet in unusual directions, combining itwith several other movement styles. In this programof four dances, their work feeds PNB artisticdirector Peter Boal’s desire to broaden the horizonsof his dancers and their audience.Kylián’s hybrid style retains the physical virtuosityof ballet, but tempers it with a kind oforganic lyricism, drawing a more grounded qualityfrom modern-dance techniques. After makingover 75 works, most for Nederlands DansTheater, he’s become one of the major influenceson European contemporary dance—and anincreasingly popular import to the U.S. PNBalready dances a pair of his works to Mozart;and here we see how Petite Mort and SechsTänze both make sly fun of baroque mannerisms.New to PNB is Kylián’s 1981 ForgottenLand, inspired by an Edvard Munch paintingof three women contemplating a drowned landscape.Given a propulsive quality by BenjaminBritten’s Sinfonia da Requiem, dancers surge likewater across the stage, where couples struggleand fail to remain together.Those who’ve previously seen Pite and herKidd Pivot company at On the Boards will befamiliar with some of her extreme movementchoices. But those kinetic experiments are reallyamplified by the sheer scale of Emergence. Createdfour years ago for the National Ballet ofCanada, the work features almost 40 dancers ina stunning investigation of group behaviors and“hive mind,” drawing images from the insectworld. Ballet often uses unison movement tocreate a sense of rising momentum, but herethe collective action is more threatening thanexhilarating. At several key moments, the dancerscount in sotto voce as they snap from one positionto another—a thoroughly eerie effect.Opening weekend was packed with trulyimpressive performances. Rachel Foster’s intensitywas thrilling in the opening section of Emergence,where she was like a newborn colt strugglingto master limbs and joints. Andrew Barteeand Kiyon Gaines, alternating in a thrashingsolo from the same work, launched themselvesacross the stage. Lindsi Dec and Karel Cruz werea sleek pair in Petite Mort and an anguished onein Forgotten Land. But it was the company as awhole, throughout the program, that knockedthe audience flat.

Witness theCroatian duet 2Cellos, who’ve achieved mainstreamexposure (Glee, Ellen) through theirtakes on pop/rock tunes (“Smells Like TeenSpirit,” “Candle in the Wind”). These twoare clearly talented and their arrangementsgratifyingly un-cheesy—but you can only rollyour eyes at their tired claim to be “breakingthe boundaries between different genresART CREDITof music.” Sorry, bros: The Kronos Quartetrecorded “Purple Haze” before either of youwere born. So much for that “boundary.”Similarly, it’s always amusing, in every singlearticle written about cellist Matt Haimovitz, tosee the palpitations journalists go into when theyfind out he plays in bars! The cello! OMG!!!—asif Seattle’s Degenerate Art Ensemble hadn’tdone that 20 years ago.OK, I admit we’re spoiled here in Seattle,and it’s unfair to snark at all those who are justcatching up to our innovations. But let’s take amoment to pat ourselves on the back, too, as theboldface names above join forces to celebratethe Kronos’ 40th anniversary. The quartet wasfounded here, as you surely know, and I lovethat they’re returning to their birth city to collaboratewith their artistic descendants in a newchapter of the DAE’s ongoing work, Predator’sSongstress. This chapter, “Warrior,” combinesJoshua Kohl’s score for the Kronos (plus sixvocalists) with dance from Haruko Nishimura.Sitting somewhere (speaking of boundaries) nearthe intersection of Pärt, Reich, and Ligeti, Kohl’sevocative music is spacey, dreamy, but with thatominous undercurrent without which it wouldn’tbe a DAE piece.

arts&culture» FilmOpeningThisWeekPBastardsRUNS FRI., NOV. 15–THURS., NOV. 21AT NORTHWEST FILM FORUM. NOT RATED.83 MINUTES.If Alfred Hitchcock were still alive and exploring21st-century modes of moviemaking, wouldhe come up with something like Bastards? TheMaster of Suspense changed with the times, andmaybe it’s not too far-fetched to imagine himexperimenting in the style operating here: a terse,elliptical, and ultimately horrifying method thatwithholds as much information as it doles out.This thought passed through my mind halfwaythrough Bastards, but make no mistake: Thismovie is definitely the work of French filmmakerClaire Denis (White Material, 35 Shots of Rum,Beau Travail, etc.), whose cryptic approach onlyadds to the film’s creeping sense of unease. Thepicture begins by contemplating a wall of rain,as though preparing us for how hard it will beto see and understand what’s going on. A mancommits suicide on this rainy night, and hisbrother-in-law Marco (Vincent Lindon) quitshis job as a ship’s captain in order to come homeand sort things out for his deeply damaged sister( Julie Bataille) and niece (Lola Créton). Marcomoves into a huge, empty apartment across thehall from a prominent businessman (MichelSubor), who lives with trophy mistress Raphaëlle(Chiara Mastroianni) and their young son. Thehints that emerge about this world grow darkeras the movie goes on—and are, in fact, about asdark as a family nightmare can get.With his blunt masculinity, Lindon raises ourhopes that his rugged loner can rescue the disaster.That’s what rugged loners do in movies. ButDenis is aware of how the power stacks up in thissituation, so the resolution is probably going tobe closer to Vertigo than Rear Window. And for amovie obsessed with how difficult it is to see thetruth (and how reluctant people are to acknowledgeit), it is fitting that surveillance cameras andother recording devices are an almost-unnoticedfact of life—culminating in the last, terriblesequence. A final piece of evidence, knowinglyrecorded for a camera, confirms our worst fears.Bastards is a skillfully assembled mosaic, the workof a filmmaker fully in control of her talents; anddespite the grim material, we can at least findsome satisfaction in how well the tale has beentold. But Claire Denis sure doesn’t make it easyon us. ROBERT HORTONCharlie CountrymanOPENS FRI., NOV. 15 AT SOUTHCENTER.RATED R. 108 MINUTES.Because of those Transformers movies, ShiaLaBeouf gets the rap as a no-talent young journeymanwho won the casting lottery. (Being firedby Daniel Sullivan, formerly of Seattle Rep, fromthis year’s Broadway revival of Orphans didn’thelp his reputation.) But when not running fromgiant robots, LaBeouf hasn’t been terrible in TheCompany You Keep (as a reporter one step behindhis story) or Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (as afinancier one step behind Michael Douglas). Henever seems to be in command of a movie, evenwhen he lands the starring role. Yet there’ssomething authentically fugitive and rabbity aboutthe guy, as though he never stops long enough tothink anything through. You can’t really imaginehim playing a master spy or genius hacker; andit may take another decade to see if he pulls aMcConaughey and develops any depth as an actor.For that reason, LaBeouf works just fine as ascared young Chicago tourist who stumbles intoBucharest’s underworld of gangsters and classicalmusicians. Innocent, bewildered Charlie knowsnothing about handguns or Handel; he just runsthrough the city with goons and cops on his trail,receives multiple beatings, and falls in love witha lovely young cellist (Evan Rachel Wood). Oh,and one more thing: Charlie sees dead people.There’s even a Sixth Sense joke in Charlie Countryman,which is a little more meta than needed.Charlie communes with the spirits of his kindlymom (Melissa Leo) and the cellist’s wise father(Ion Caramitru). Yet these ghostly interludes aremostly lighthearted—nothing so leaden as M.Night Shyamalan. Effectively shot on location inRomania, Charlie Countryman is fundamentallya chase movie, with Mads Mikkelsen and TilSchweiger the baddies in pursuit of LaBeouf. HisCharlie is certainly part of the action, only somehowalways one step behind. BRIAN MILLERPGod Loves UgandaRUNS FRI., NOV. 15–THURS., NOV. 21AT SIFF FILM CENTER. NOT RATED. 83 MINUTES.If he’d wanted to go the first-person MichaelMoore route, Roger Ross Williams could havegotten some high drama into this documentary.Williams told The Hollywood Reporter thatafter shooting in Uganda for a few weeks, hewas taken aside by a group of bishops who haddiscovered his sexual orientation. Homosexualityis illegal in that nation, and these clerics hadbeen preaching their vehemently antigay beliefsto him, so the moment was tense. Williams waslucky; the priests began praying over him, thebetter to cure him.That moment is not included or described inGod Loves Uganda, nor is Williams a presence inthe movie (there is no narration). Instead, whathe presents is a lucid and appalling portrait ofthe modern missionary movement and the effectit has had on a single African nation. AlthoughUganda’s widely criticized (and still pending)legislation threatening the death penalty forhomosexual behavior is described in the movie,the broader subject here is the way Americanevangelicals are pouring money and legwork intothe country. Williams tags along with missionariesfrom a Kansas City megachurch known asThe International House of Prayer (yes, they callthemselves IHOP) who pour their spiritual syrupover the burgeoning phenomenon of Christianfundamentalism in Uganda. That movement’sleaders, American and Ugandan alike, share aparticular enthusiasm for denouncing homosexuality,which the movie connects to the risein antigay sentiment in the country. The mosthumane exception is Bishop Christopher Senyonjo,whose sympathy with the LGBT communityhas made him controversial in Uganda.We also meet Kapya Kaoma, an Anglican priestwho particularly notes how much harder it’s beento fight the AIDS epidemic since the instigationof “abstinence-only” policies encouraged byreligious groups.Williams, who won an Oscar for the 2010short film Music by Prudence, generally playsDIVINEMOVIE.COMfair with his material. No editorial comment isneeded when you have a shot of true believerswandering through a large room, apparentlyspeaking in tongues; it might have come froma sci-fi picture. Showing what’s going on isenough. In a dismal village, a fresh-faced Americanwoman discusses eternity with an olderUgandan lady. “If you die today and have notrepented,” she reports, “you will not be with us inparadise. Does that scare you?” There are plentyof frights to go around in God Loves Uganda.ROBERT HORTONPI Am DivineRUNS FRI., NOV. 15–THURS., NOV. 21AT GRAND ILLUSION. NOT RATED. 90 MINUTES.Harris Glenn Milstead, aka the drag queenDivine, died 25 years ago at the peak of hiscareer, untouched by AIDS, perhaps the mostunlikely movie star in alternative-become-Hollywoodscreen history. Jeffrey Schwarz’s fond tributedocumentary is rooted in Baltimore and therecollections of John Waters, Divine’s benevolentSvengali. (There were other formative mentors,we learn, but most are dead.) It may be hard torecall now, after Hairspray has been adapted intoa popular stage show and movie musical (cueJohn Travolta) and with Drag Race a mainstreamThe diva in his prime.TV staple, what a disruptive force Divine oncewas. He went beyond “passing” or prettiness orburlesque into a nether realm of exaggerated,messy revenge—“to use that anger from all hishigh-school traumas,” says Waters. In a way,Divine’s triumphant story is Revenge of the Nerdsbefore nerds, sadistic glee before Glee. Beforethe 1988 Hairspray and his death that year, hetold Charlie Rose “Cult status isn’t enough.”He wanted more praise from Pauline Kael. Hewanted to be a real character actor, like CharlesLaughton, who transcended drag.Sadly, he hardly got the chance. (One notableexception: Alan Rudolph’s 1987 Trouble in Mind,shot here in Seattle.) Divine died in his sleep soonafter winning a recurring non-drag role on MarriedWith Children (his episodes were never filmed). Asa result, most of the clips come from Waters’ shockperennials, like Polyester, Pink Flamingos (with thenotorious dog-poo-eating scene), and Female Trouble(also being screened at 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday).There are also generous selections from Waters’home-movie collection and that of Divine’s family,from whom he was long estranged before a happyreunion. Praise rolls in from co-stars Mink Stole,Tab Hunter, and Ricki Lake and writers includingThe Village Voice’s Michael Musto. Milstead clearlyhad his demons—food chief among them—butalso seemingly enjoyed near-total admiration fromthose in showbiz. He was a big stoner, says Waters,which might explain his mellow offstage demeanor,so different from the shrieking live shows we see.And did you remember that Divine cut a series oflate-disco albums during the ’80s? Those musicvideos are a treat to behold.Yet inescapably, Divine is now part of boomernostalgia, like midnight movies, gay cabarets,and Studio 54 (where he met Andy Warhol, theRolling Stones, and most of his idols). What wasoutrageous then almost seems quaint to us now.Time and distance have granted Divine a halo,and he wears it well. BRIAN MILLERIn the Name OfRUNS FRI., NOV. 15–THURS., NOV. 21AT SUNDANCE. NOT RATED. 102 MINUTES.You may recall the controversy, some 20 yearsago, surrounding the English film Priest, abouta Catholic cleric hiding his homosexuality. A lothas changed since then. Still, after so many pedophilialawsuits and exposés (including the 2006documentary Deliver Us From Evil), this Polishdrama might seem redundant—or worse, sensationalist.So we have a handsome parish priest,transferred from Warsaw to a rural village, wherehe oversees a reform-school farm full of shirtless,horny teens. Father Adam (Andrzej Chyra)came late to God, he explains in a sun-washedsermon, though he’s vague about his past. Whennot working (generally out of his cassock), heexhausts himself by running through the forestto deplete his desire. After rebuffing the wife of acolleague, he makes tearful, drunken Skype confessionsto his unsympathetic sister in Toronto.He is, profoundly and sadly, alone.A rough-trade, bottle-blond teen arrives atthe farm, and Adam watches aghast—or enviously—ashe cornholes another lad on the rectorycouch. (That defiled furniture is promptlyremoved.) But lurking around the periphery isgentle, long-haired farmhand Lukasz (MateuszKościukiewicz), nicknamed “Humpty,” whosilently falls in love with the kind Adam. Howcan this situation be tolerated? Why doesn’tAdam simply leave the church and take Lukaszback to the more-tolerant city?The weight of tradition and the rhythms ofrural life are keenly felt in Małgośka Szumowska’svery assured drama, handsomely shot inwidescreen. (Her Elles, with Juliette Binoche asa journalist studying hookers, played the Varsitylast year.) Lukasz is loyal to his family becausethey’re poor, and Adam is loyal to his flockbecause they plainly need him. In the Name Ofisn’t so much about sexual frustration or religioushypocrisy as the conservative bonds of CatholicPoland. Lukasz and the reform-school boyswere born after communism, but Adam and hischurch are still ruled by an inflexible hierarchy.(“We don’t sweep dirt under the carpet,” saysa bishop, who does just that.) A different filmmight explode into conflict or reward us with ahappy ending. Instead, in a very deliberate fashion,Szumowska suggests how a cycle of secrecyis perpetuated beneath the collar.

Hisname? Allen Ginsberg, the shy son of a NewJersey poet and a mad housewife. That DanielRadcliffe plays the young Ginsberg meanspeople will take notice of this film. (Meanwhile,his Harry Potter colleague Rupert Grint providesminor comic relief in Charlie Countryman, alsoout this week.) Radcliffe has been on a tear sinceDeathly Hallows, working hard and often toprove he’s got a future outside Hogwarts.He does, and there’s much to commend abouthow he turns a watchful virgin into a shrewdcampus survivor. I just wish the story—by AustinBunn and first-time director John Krokidas—betterserved his talents. Ginsberg is initially awedby fellow student Lucien Carr (DiCaprio DNAculture Dane DeHaan), a privileged, blond, romanticWASP so unlike himself. Carr has other maleadmirers, including William S. Burroughs (BenFoster, perfect), David Kammerer (Michael C.Hall), and—in a less sexual way—Jack Kerouac(Jack Huston). Students of Beat literature knowhow and why all these famous names actuallyconverged; for younger readers, let’s just say that akilling links them.Nothing dates faster than your father’s bohemia.The filmmakers do everything possible to make a70-year-old murder mystery seem fresh. Kill YourDarlings is aggressively overscored with anachronistictunes, overedited to match the amphetamines,and overserious about these poets’ grandsense of themselves. This self-declared “LibertineCircle” tears through the Village and Harlem, theirstrenuous jollity and campus hijinks supposedlycorresponding to the coming literary revolution.(Howl and On the Road would be published in1955 and ’57, respectively.) But sometimes dormroombullshit sessions are nothing more thanthat, and the movie never lets Allen and companyrelax in this hothouse of homoerotic camaraderie;they’re too busy posing on pedestals.This stridently unsubtle film is afraid of showingthe dull business of writing, yet I prefer itsquieter moments—Allen’s proud father (DavidCross) reading his college admissions letter; thetart disapproval of Kerouac’s neglected girlfriend(Elizabeth Olsen); or Allen finally summoningthe nerve to cruise a sailor in a gay bar. UnlikeGinsberg’s poetry, Kill Your Darlings seems tohave been written in all-caps. BRIAN MILLERSpinning PlatesRUNS FRI., NOV. 15–THURS., NOV. 21AT VARSITY. NOT RATED. 93 MINUTES.While the idea of a food documentary aboutthree extremely varied places—a 150-year-oldsmall-town country kitchen, a mom-and-popMexican joint, and a three-star Michelin restaurant—seemsinteresting, the delivery here issurprisingly sluggish.That’s not the chefs’ fault. What comes acrossin Joseph Levy’s film are the different yet equallycompelling connections that these cooks haveto their food. The family-run Breitbach’s inIowa serves as the backbone of the community,a social hub where locals gather as much for thecompany as for the fried chicken and homemadepies. At Tucson’s La Cocina de Gabby, cookingis what binds a family together; at Alinea, it’s theartistic outlet for Chicago chef Grant Achatz,who’s risen from the kitchens of Thomas Kellerand Charlie Trotter to become a kind of HowardRoark-ian figure. But also like Roark in TheFountainhead, Achatz ultimately comes across asa caricature. Here’s the culinary renegade creatingnitrous-frozen olive-oil lozenges; throwing spicesand smearing fruits onto tablecloths with JacksonPollock-like flourishes; building fork sculptureson which to serve his esoteric creations. Whenthings turn against him, sadly, we almost don’tlike him enough to empathize.Though Spinning Plates tries to establish acohesive thread among these three restaurantsand their proprietors, our attention is slicedtoo thin. Also, to manipulate our heartstrings,Levy too-carefully edits the catastrophes, emotionallyambushing us in the film’s final third.You haven’t gotten to know these people wellenough to genuinely feel their losses or cheertheir victories.To its credit, Spinning Plates isn’t as bombasticand unrealistic as the Food Network. Still, Ileft this quiet documentary feeling hungry formore. NICOLE SPRINKLESunlight Jr.RUNS FRI., NOV. 15–THURS., NOV. 21AT SUNDANCE. NOT RATED. 95 MINUTES.A minimum-wage drama, Sunlight Jr. is anaccount of people who mean well, work hard,and still can’t make it. The title is a particularlybitter piece of irony, because the lives of thisgroup of South Floridians couldn’t be less cheerfulat the moment. Sunlight Jr. is the name of theconvenience store where Melissa (Naomi Watts)holds down a cashier job. It’s dull work, but shehopes to snag a place in the company’s collegeplacementprogram—if only she can withstandthe lazy harassment of her manager and thethreat of a transfer to the dreaded graveyard shift.Melissa lives with Richie (Matt Dillon), aboozy paraplegic. These two make the film’s earlyreels promising, especially for the way writer/director Laurie Collyer (Sherrybaby) treats thisrelationship: Melissa and Richie are affectionate,clumsy, sexual. They don’t live their lives in asmart way, but they care for each other despitethe truly tough hand they’ve been dealt—not justhis injury, but a general cloud of socioeconomicmisfortune. A variety of challenges and opportunitiescome their way, including the predatorybehavior of Melissa’s drug-dealing ex (NormanReedus, from The Walking Dead) and the dismalexample of her mother (a blowsy Tess Harper).The presence of movie stars Watts and Dillonmeans we won’t take any of this for documentaryfootage, but Collyer’s realistic method veers closeto recreating the maddening behavior of selfdefeatingfolk in reality-TV shows.Collyer’s sympathy for her hard-luck charactersis admirable, although it’s tough to castglamorous actors in these roles and expect herdreary, kitchen-sink world to ring completelytrue. The going-nowhere lives are maybe a littletoo easy to caricature, and the sheer miseryof this trap is grueling indeed. The only thingthat truly clicks is that central relationship, itsmoments of unexpected tenderness and support;if only Melissa and Richie could tune out the restof the world and need nothing of it. But the restof the world keeps intruding, and it ain’t pretty.ROBERT HORTON Efilm@seattleweekly.com

arts&culture» MusicSpirit HarvestAfter listening to wheat fields, RA Scion releasesThe Sickle and the Sword and reaps a revolution.BY KELTON SEARSFor 19 years,Seattle rapperRA Scion wasan adherent ofthe Baha’i faith. Drawn byits community focus andunique take on the “journeyof the soul,” he found ahome in Baha’i’s fold afterabandoning his SouthernBaptist upbringing. Thenin 2010, after some seriousreflection, he left Baha’i aswell.“I wanted it to be therevolution I was looking for,and it wasn’t,” RA Scionsays. “I understand why it can’t be. It’s a religion.It’s a respectful religion. You have to be humbleabove all things. Revolutionaries can’t be humble,you know?”RA Scion’s new album, The Sickle and theSword, is indeed a personal revolution, one hehopes can give voice to the societal revolution forwhich he hungers. It also just might be Seattle’srap album of the year. From start to finish, therecord is an ethereal spiritual journey—a novel,earnest declaration of purpose and human connectednessthat floats atop Rodney Hazard’sswirling, sorcerous production. It can be a confusingjourney, with its incredibly dense rhymesand references to obscure pagan harvest festivals,cat-worshipping covens, and Native Americaneco-philosophy. For instance, on “In Veneration”RA Scion raps, “Blood moon about to burst/Spill the secrets of the seekers it revealed alongthe search.”Conceptually, the record follows a loose timelinethat starts with the creation of the universe.After dropping some esoteric knowledge aboutancient traditions like Saturnalia and Lughnasadh,RA Scion takes you through the apocalypseand finally blasts off to outer space, wherehumanity starts a new colony in the cosmos.“The album has this focus on nature,” RAScion tells Seattle Weekly. “When we lose thisconnection, when we destroy what provides forus and where we come from, there will be nothingleft for us. Are we prepared for that?”This new spiritual headspace is on display inthe verdant video for the record’s first single,“Constant.” Opening with printed words fromEnglish author George Eliot—“Thy bountyshines in autumn, unconfined; and spreads acommon feast for all that live”—the video surveyslush, misted Orcas Island landscapes andurges listeners to “say grace” and “listen close tothose wheat fields.” The Sickle and the Sword dealsin the idea of connectedness not only thematicallybut practically, showcasing collaborationswith Motopony’s Daniel Blue, Kung Foo Grip’sGreg Cypher, and former American Idol finalistBlake Lewis. None of these collaborations seemforced or just for show—instead, they add tothe tangible mystic world RA Scion has crafted.MICHAEL PROFITTBlue’s spectral coo buoys “Constant,” with ahook that haunts you like a ghost, and Cypher’smilitia-ready verse in “Seven Generations” is arelevant rebel manifesto on sustainability: “Wokeup with a new, clear mission to go for/Shutdown; how long the system been broke for?”This latter track was inspired by a life-changingvisit from the father of one of RA Scion’sfriends, a First Nations man who blessed therapper’s home and taught him the Native conceptof Seven Generations—the idea that today’sactions will have consequences for those sevengenerations down the line.“He did a traditional Native blessing ceremonyon my home, and it was such a powerfulmoment,” RA Scion says. “We could feel theenergy in the house for years after that. Otherpeople too would walk in the house and immediatelyidentify with this pure, divine spirit.”That spirit is what makes the record such astandout. Rarely do artists put as much on theline as RA Scion does here—something he’sbeen no stranger to, in releases like Tobacco Roadwith hip-hop duo Common Market. This is notjust fun and games, but heavy soul-searching.The production is appropriately heady as well,an inventive ambient take on typical hip-hop.“Hoof x Horn” throws a breathy, chopped-upmonk-chant sample on top of a beat. “Myrrh”sounds like dew dripping off a fallen log, withtrickling chimes dancing around on pitch-shiftedvocals that evoke Flying Lotus at his mostchilled-out.The album-release show will live up to theThe Sickle and the Sword ’s focus on interconnectedness—it’sa benefit for the members ofSeattle surf band La Luz, who were recently in aserious accident that totaled their van, destroyedtheir gear, and sent them to the hospital. All theproceeds will go to help the band back on theirfeet. “Just wanted to help out the homegirls,” RAScion says.

KEEGAN PROSSERThe Fruit BatsThursday, November 14This may well be your last chance to see theFruit Bats before the band ceases to be.This is an unexpected development. TheFruit Bats appeared to be an unbreakable band.There could be no artistic differences, since theproject’s existence has relied solely on the participationof principal member Eric D. Johnson,the Chicago native who has lead the folk-rockgroup through its many incarnations for 13 years.And yet, earlier this week, Johnson announcedthat he will be putting his band to rest. “There isno major dramatic reason,” the characteristicallychill musician told Paste Magazine. “It’s been along run and it’s time for change.”It’s a death with dignity,then; the decision to moveon is about Johnson’s career.A member of the musicalmiddle class, the songwriterhas been making a chunkof his living producing otherartists—most recently NinaPersson of the Cardigans—and lending his breezycompositions to films, includingthe soundtrack for thePaul Rudd vehicle Our IdiotBrother. Without a band tokeep up, the 37-year-old artistwill be able to fully capitalizeon those days spent in thestudio and on the road, cultivatinga distinctive sound anda loyal fan base. He is movingon, but not before giving us alla brief moment to look back.Eric D. JohnsonCULTS has moved in an ever-so-slightly darker directionwith sophomore album Static, a record informed bytwo solid years of touring and the dissolution of a fouryearrelationship between the band’s primary membersMadeline Follin and Brian Oblivion.

It’s thesmoky, earnest quality in his vocals that make trackslike “Smoking Gun” and “Love Is a Losing Game” hityou in the gut, and that romantic coo makes for thebest kind of pillow talk.

Both bands play retro-influenced rootsmusic, and both bandleaders are ripping guitarplayers.“This tour’s definitely going to be a showcase ofguitar picking,” says Peyton, who plays in a fingerpickedstyle that allows him to manage rhythm andmelody simultaneously. “I’ve tried to take the styleof country-blues and finger-style guitar and take itsomewhere else, places it’s not been.”Though the show’s format hasn’t yet solidified,both bands will play full sets and leave plentyof room for collaboration. “We’ll be doing somejamming,” Shiflett says.The Foo Fighters axeman put together theyou stomping your feet and joining the music-making.With Albatross, White Garden.

AGDead Peasants because he’d long been a fanof outlaw country and the Bakersfield sound.“Part of why I wanted to do this band,” he says,“was to go to honky-tonk school. I’d never reallyplayed country before, and I wanted to dig intoit.” He was shocked when people at gigs startedto dance. “That felt good,” he says. “I was reallytaken with that.”Peyton loved roots music growing up too,but admits that as a young musician he wasn’tas open-minded as Shiflett, who was raised onpunk. “If it wasn’t country-blues, I hated it,” Peytonsays. “I was really obtuse.” But Peyton—areal Reverend who has actually married fans atsome of his shows—eventually came to appreciatea much wider swath of sounds. When hestarted to write songs, he wanted them to paytribute to the music he loved, but also have thembe something that wouldn’t sound out of placeamong contemporary bands on someone’s iPod.“I don’t want to be some museum-piece throwback,”he says. “I want to make music that’stimeless.”Though these two bands have differentsounds, the through line between them is undeniable:Both manage to infuse modernism intostyles rooted in the past—and both will makeyou want to dance.

2033 6th Avenue(206) 441-9729jazzalley.comLocaLReLeasesMount Eerie, Pre-Human Ideas (out now, P. W.Elverum & Sun, pwelverumandsun.com) Ayear ago, Mount Eerie’s Phil Elverum released a7-inch titled Clear Moon/Ocean Roar (condensedversions). Side A featured tracks from his ClearMoon album played atop each other at once, andSide B did the same with Ocean Roar. The resultsounds like falling into a black hole. The ideabehind the strange single likely wasn’t for seriouslistening, but rather a funny conceptual joke. Andhey, it is pretty funny. Elverum is no stranger toyuk-yuks, as he pens his own comics Fancy PeopleAdventures, full of surreal antihumor about granolabars and Kindle headphone jacks. Similarly,Pre-Human Ideas is also probably not intendedfor serious listening. Consisting of modifiedinstructional demo versions of tracks from ClearMoon and Ocean Roar, this album finds Elverumthrowing strange layers of MIDI instruments ontop of songs and Auto-Tuning his voice, so as to“digitally [pose] as a hoarse woman or a rougholder man.” Unsurprisingly, the album isn’t revelatoryor even listenable, but that isn’t the point:It might be just to make die-hard Elverum fanschuckle. Bookending the album are two analogorgan tracks, “ORGANS (Pale Lights)” and“ORGANS (The Place Live),” which kind ofwork as ambient tracks. But in the end, with allthe MIDI and Auto-Tune, at least now we knowwhat it would have sounded like if T-Pain hadwritten the music for Twin Peaks. KELTON SEARSXVIII Eyes, I’ll Keep You (out now, self-released,xviiieyes.com) XVIII Eyes is the new, far moregothic-sounding moniker of the band formerlyknown as Eighteen Individual Eyes. The hardrockfour-piece made the change because theold name was a mouthful and the new one is“straightforward, but still enigmatic.” The musicon sophomore full-length I’ll Keep You has alsobeen streamlined and polished compared to itspredecessor, 2012’s Unnovae Nights. Though theband’s music was never as abrasive or subversiveas its press would have you believe (psychedelicshoegaze this is not, unless the sole criterion forthat is owning more than one distortion pedal),the songwriting and production are tighter here.The towering choruses on tracks like “VolcanoSurfing,” “I See the Light,” and “Multiples” aresome of the album’s clear highlights. So is guitarist/singerIrene Barber’s inspired wailing; heroutsized vocals soar over the band’s thick guitarsound. The main problem with I’ll Keep You isits stifling consistency. Every song includes moreor less the same structure and elements: mildlyoverdriven guitars, lead lines that mirror the vocalmelodies, and a rhythm section that chargesahead at mid-tempo. On a formal level, these arefine rock songs, but tunes this straightforwardneed to try harder to be distinctive. For moderatelyexperimental modern rock, you could do alot worse than I’ll Keep You. Unfortunately, that’sprobably the best thing you can say about it.(Thurs., Nov. 14, Chop Suey) ANDREW GOSPERavenna Woods, The Jackals (out now, selfreleased,ravennawoods.net) There’s a veryintentional haunted vibe to the second albumfrom Seattle rumblecore trio Ravenna Woods. Itstarts with the album’s name and its accompanyingartwork—featuring a man attempting toescape out the window of a spooky house—andextends to the lyrics. “Just live alone and lockyour doors,” frontman Chris Cunninghamimplores on the second track, “Live Alone,” overthe band’s trademark pattering drums and cascadingacoustic guitar. “There’s somethin’ terriblehappenin’.” The music, though, doesn’t reallycarry the haunted vibe, which is a relief. Suchall-consuming spookiness would be a rickety oldbridge too far. Instead the album is lively anddense, filled with layers ofinsistent, tickling instrumentationand swellingorchestration. On itsdebut, 2010’s Demon andLakes, Ravenna Woodsestablished a soundrooted in drum and guitarinterplay, but it feltlimited to that dynamic.Here the band showsgrowth, adding otherinstruments—in particularthe restrained pianowork of new memberIRENE BARBER/SAMANTHA WOODSam Miller—and provingitself adept at shiftingdirection and dynamicwith purpose. That isthe case on “Border Animals,”the band’s mostfully realized song yet.It opens with that basedrum-and-guitar formulabefore shifting andswelling to a fever pitch,Cunningham spitting out vocal darts that landlike punches. The vocals, in fact, are the mosthaunted aspect of the album, channeling threespirits of popular song: On “Border Animals”it’s the bratty Elvis Costello; elsewhere, the regalMatt Berninger or the ethereal Thom Yorke—who’s falsetto croon Cunningham replicates onthe album’s title track, a song that makes up forits clear stylistic cop with an aching emotionalperformance. Still, the resemblance is eerie.
