Gold Digger Are boogers delicious? I forget. It’s been more than 20 years since I ate one and it was my own, so I’m obviously biased. But even then, I don’t remember it tasting so good that it brought on a craving so irrepressibly that I couldn’t help but pick my nose in the VTA surrounded by fellow passengers. Yes, middle-aged lady (and I use the term “lady” loosely), I saw you eat your booger, surprisingly without much regard for stealth. I saw you claw into your nostril with your painted talon and dig up a little piece of gold like an old prospector.

RBAN DESIGN litterateur-cum-entrepreneur Thang Do managed to dovetail his chief interests in his latest project, an architecture-themed bar in San Jose’s ascendant SoFA District. Every cocktail at The Fountainhead, named for Ayn Rand’s novel about a stoic, if not insufferable, architect, pays homage to the profession. “It’s all true to theme,” says bar manager David Ma, the mixologist who worked with Do in creating an inventive menu that translates the bar’s aesthetic into liquid form. One version includes esoteric, but informative descriptions of the architectural inspiration for each drink. Take the Greene and Greene ($12), which Ma says was a favorite at the bar’s recent soft opening. The apple-green blend of Nikka Japanese whisky, ginger liqueur, fresh lemon and green tea in an ice-brimming Collins glass is a nod to Charles and Henry Greene, whose designs expressed a Japanese influence. The Vitruvian ($11) mixes Bulleit rye, small-batch Maraschino liqueur and Pernod Anise embellished with a curled orange rind. The amber dulcet in a coupe glass celebrates its namesake, the iconic Leonardo da Vinci sketch defining ideal human proportions as a model for classical architecture. Ma will attune the menu to each season, changing up garnishes per availability and meticulously curating an array of locally distilled spirits, wines and beers. “Everything you see here is something I personally enjoy,” Ma says, motioning toward the Art Deco bar set with backlit bottles of sparkling clear tequilas, handnumbered gins and whiskies giving off a warm honey glow. Adding to the theme is the setting. Snugged in a corner of the new SoFA Market, a scaled-down take on the bustling San Pedro Square Market, the Fountainhead is the latest addition to an edifice with its own architectural clout. Prominent local architect W.H. Weeks designed the renaissance revival-style W. Prussia Building in the 1920s. Over the decades, however, it cracked and crumbled into a shell of its former self. When Do decided to make it the new home for his firm, Aedis Architects, he spent more than a year bringing it back to life. Aedis moved into the upper story in January 2014, the multi-tenant SoFA market launched months later and the Fountainhead opened this past month. “Everything you see here was recycled from the old building,” Ma says. “The repurposed wood also adds to the sense of history and classic feel.” The mixologist eventually wants to host jazz nights, another tribute to the building’s birth in the Roaring ’20s. “[We] want to cultivate an urban center with good music, good conversation and a sense of history,” Ma says. “All over some of the best-sourced booze around.”—Jennifer Wadsworth THE FOUNTAINHEAD 387 S.

JOHN DONNE GOT IT WRONG The new Empire Seven Studios exhibit, ‘Alone, Together,’ explores loneliness in the big city.
Every Man Is An Island PHOTOGRAPHY IS MORE than a way of life for the artists featured in Empire Seven Studios’ upcoming exhibition, “Alone, Together.” “None of us go out of the house without a camera,” says Joe Aguirre, one of the five photographers featured in the exhibit—a graphic study of isolation and separation. “Having our camera with us is like having our wallet or keys.” All of the photos on display in the show are the result of a kind of spontaneity that could only be achieved by a team of photographers who are ready to start snapping at any moment. Featuring photographs by Ben Molina, Emilio Banuelos, Mike Avina, Troy Holden and Aguirre, “Alone, Together” is a collection of images captured on the streets of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento and Mexico. The show runs from April 10 to May 1.
Alone Together April 10-May 1, Free Empire Seven Studios, San Jose empiresevenstudios.com
The photos in “Alone, Together”—a mix of digital and film—are both unsettling and inviting, subdued yet confrontational—all presented with a certain black humor that ranges from the hilariously absurd to the stingingly poignant. The warm contrast in the black and white photos invites the viewer to look at the people and things that tend to blend into the background: the homeless, liquor stores, police and squalor. Good street photography is both raw and unadulterated, Aguirre says. The images presented in “Alone Together” have the feel of documentary photography—but with a decidedly artistic bent. If there is a single theme that unites the five photographers of "Alone, Together" it is the loneliness inherent in the modern condition. With these images, Molina, Banuelos, Avina, Holden and Aguirre aim to highlight the myriad human islands floating along in the sea of humanity. Street photography is meant to capture life in moments free from context or conceit, according to Aguirre. There is no hiding in theory, no fine arts pedigrees, just photography as a kind of found object, a fearless aesthetic and a willingness to accept any consequence. The job of the street photographer—says Aguirre, who relocated to San Francisco from San Jose several years ago to pursue his craft—is to “observe, to be observers, to be out there with a wandering eye.” But ultimately, while Aguirre says he and the other photographers in this group show hope to illuminate difficult and often overlooked truths, he says he is equally attracted to street photography by how the process helps him relate to the world on a personal level. “I want to understand my surroundings and how I relate to my surroundings,” he says.—Tad Malone

NOT EXACTLY A KILLER Beautiful scenery, vivid color and some heft from Aussie film legend Bryan Brown help ‘Kill Me Three Times’ but aren’t enough to slay.
Raw Prawns AS I WAIT to hear back from the Australia Council for the Arts about my proposed year in residency “to think about stuff,” the mildly interesting Kill Me Three Times soothed the suspense of watching the mailbox. The pulpy story unfolds in the beach town of “Eagle’s Nest,” actually Lancelin, on the Indian Ocean coast north of Perth. It’s a stage for murder, adultery and robbery, interspersed with helicopter shots of cars cruising the coastal road past gleaming sand beaches. This is a country meant for the wide screen. A feature, not a bug, is photographer Geoffrey (Shine) Simpson’s violently lurid color: Simpson was Benoit Debie before there was Benoit Debie—apocalyptic red sunsets give way to ultraviolet corridors; a dentist’s office has the shiny fluorescent whiteness of a cheaply capped tooth. So what if Simon Pegg’s character—the Toronado-driving, Lemmy ’stache-wearing, Angel of Death-esque private eye “Charlie Wolfe—is hard to take seriously, as he crisps his syllables in a manner that would make any Aus audience gnash its teeth?
In flashback and restart, Kill Me Three Times takes an unsparing look at the social problem of a hard-drinking hotelier (Callan Mulvey) whose meanness has spurred the straying of his wife (Alice Braga, looking Kill Me Three Times uncommonly nice in that harsh sunshine). R; 90 minutes Also caught in the web Opens Fri at of sin is a dentist (Sullivan Camera Cinemas Stapleton) who lost all his money on the ponies; the dentist’s wife (Teresa Palmer, not so good) who has a far from airtight plan to stage her own death in a car crash. On the periphery are a poor but honest gas station owner (Luke Hemsworth) and Bruce, a leathery cop on the take, played by Aus movie star Bryan Brown. Brown, who once upon a time tantalized Barbara Stanwyck, has both the best slang—“Don’t come the raw fucking prawn!” i.e. “don’t play faux naïve”—and the neatest exit scene. I was gradually hooked, but never quite convinced; the sad-clown waltzes on the soundtrack and the too-easy way Wolfe kills destines this to be an in-flight movie (on Qantas, anyway). It is what it is, but is it what it could be? —Richard von Busack

And just try to keep from cracking a smile when viewing the song’s accompanying video. Directed by Johannes Heine, bassist for A Yawn Worth Yelling, the “Telephone” clip is minimalist but effective—showing the San Jose four-piece miming each other, as each member plays every instrument in the band. Shot in the forest (where else?), the video does a lot with a little and features a playfulness reminiscent of OK Go.

The EP then takes two sharp left turns. Moving from the bopping opener, Forest swings into “So Slow,” an indie rock ballad, recalling the more somber sounds of locals Picture Atlantic and A Yawn Worth Yelling. The final track, “Evergreens,” is the most surprising song on the release—a somber math-rock anthem, complete with nostalgic vocals and noodling guitars. “Each of the three songs on the EP is pretty different, actually,” says frontman Ranier Zarras. And yet, while the EP varies stylistically between tracks, there is a connective tissue, according to drummer Joe Head. “All the songs are supposed to be like a story you’d tell by a campfire in the forest,” he says.
“It’s gonna be a kind of slow, shoegaze-y sound with a bit of punk,” Zarras says, explaining that his band owes its eclectic ambitions to the diverse communities of musicians the members of DOCKS have made relationships with—ranging from hardcore to folk. “Some of my hardcore friends went to a show and tried to stagedive once, it was pretty crazy.”

IT’S HARD TO RESIST the toe-tapping beach-pop hooks, rattling beat and lo-fi, Casablancas-esque hum of “Telephone,” the leadoff track from DOCKS brand-new three-song Forest EP.
At their upcoming EP-release show, this Saturday at Art Boutiki, DOCKS is looking forward to the next evolutionary leap in their sound. They plan to be playing new material with its own set of influences.

DOCKS will be showcasing their relationships with the Bay Area music scene at the show. “Dan (Vado, owner of the SLG Art Boutiki) let us pick the acts on the lineup ourselves, it was pretty cool,” Zarras says. The bill includes Fremont twee-pop act Sweet Peaches, SF dream-pop band Future Shapes, and indie-pop set Summer Peaks.—Jay Edgar

THE STRAIGHT DOPE
By CECIL ADAMS
CECIL@METRONEWS.COM
This recent measles outbreak got me wondering about the cost. I read an article saying the Centers for Disease Control report that "every dollar spent on the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine saves the U.S. $23.30 in medical costs.” It also said that Arizona spent $800,000 to contain an outbreak. I understand the necessity for vaccinations, but what costs are they talking about? —Bob from Lansing
A LLT TERNA AT TIVE MEDICINE
measles during an early-90s U.S. outbreak. Vaccines haven’t been that effective— death rates were decreasing in the relevant diseases even before the vaccines were introduced. No shit death rates were going down—healthcare in general improved dramatically once we got past the era of bloodletting, and mortality from all sorts of causes declined throughout the 20th century. None of that accounts for the massive drops in disease immediately after the introduction of vaccines. Just before the measles vaccine was licensed in the US, in 1963, annual average incidence was around 500,000 cases (with probably several million more unreported); by 1966 we were down to about 200,000 new cases, and by 1968 just 22,000. During its first 20 years the measles vaccine prevented an estimated 52 million cases, 17,400 instances of mental impairment and 5,000 deaths. Smallpox, diphtheria and whooping cough killed thousands of Americans a year at their respective pre-vaccine peaks; by 2004 annual deaths had been reduced by more than 99 percent. Polio vaccination led to equally dramatic drops—the US has been polio-free since 1975. But you asked about MMR cost, possibly thinking measles is a mild disease. Not for everybody. A 2004 paper estimated the hypothetical cost of not giving the MMR vaccine to any of the 3.8 million American babies born in 2001, factoring in medical treatment, long-term care of kids left disabled, lost wages for the dead, reduced earnings for the hearingimpaired, and so on. Grand total: $7.9 billion for that one batch of babies, against $300 million in vaccination costs. A study of polio vaccination found a net benefit of $180 billion from 1955 to 2014. When the value of avoided suffering, paralysis and death was included, the benefit rose to $800 billion. Are vaccines risk-free? Nothing is riskfree. In 1955, when the polio vaccine was in development, the release of a defective specimen led to 200 cases of paralysis and ten deaths. Tragic? Absolutely, but the program went on; no one doubted a successful vaccine would save far more lives.

Can you do the teeming millions a favor? The Jenny McCarthy contingent is going on about the risks of vaccinations, but absent from this discussion is any consideration of the risk of the diseases. —Mark J. Costello
You’re asking whether vaccination is worth it. There could be stupider questions—just wait till some C-grade celebrity leads the charge against indoor plumbing and electric lights. However, for now those questioning the value of vaccination pretty much have the market cornered on idiotic. Childhood immunization is one of humanity’s great achievements, substantially eradicating diseases that in centuries past depopulated continents and, in the memory of persons still alive, killed or crippled thousands every year. Few today have any clue, leading some to ask why we still need to poke babies with needles. So fine. Let me explain why locking up mass murderers makes sense. The argument has changed since we last talked vaccines in 2007.
