Buhne: Just a Troll? Editor: Ryan Hurley’s snippet on Santa Rosa North (“No Jojo Left Behind,” Feb. 5) says he was in Eureka’s Old Town and was accosted by six drunk, crazy, homeless people in one day. Ryan needs to get out more. My office is in Old Town (First and E streets). I’ve been there for 17 years, five days a week. Most days I walk over to the Co-op to get breakfast. In 17 years, I’ve been accosted twice, total. Once by a tormented crazy lady who ranted at someone she imagined near me. She wasn’t homeless, just crazy, and didn’t look crazier than someone arguing into a cell phone. The other time I was accosted was by a young man, neither

crazy, drunk, nor homeless. He practiced a performance art rant that one morning. There used to be plenty of homeless people you’d see waking up in doorways, getting their few things together to head out to wherever they spent the day. But not anymore, as the EPD has done an effective (if cruel) job of driving them away. As for the people you see on Second Street near the Rescue Mission/St. Vinnies, I deliver spare produce there regularly from my Hoopa farm and have never been accosted by any of the poor people there. Ever. Mr. Hurley’s piece borrowed the tone, prose style and moral gravity of the comments section at the Lost Coast Outpost. And I don’t think he was being intentionally ironic.

Moldy Laundry Editor: I am astounded by the vitriol in Janelle Anderson’s letter (“Oh, Sit Down Already,” Feb. 5) aimed at Linda Stansberry’s column “Are You OK?” (Jan. 29). Stansberry has been writing from under the green cloud of silence that infects Humboldt culture, and it takes courage to do it. Thirty-two years behind the skunky curtain gives me some cred when it comes to telling you that everything Linda talks about is real, and needs to be

aired for the moldy laundry that it is. I talked about these problems on my radio show, “Rant and Rave,” and made several presentations to the sociology department at Humboldt State University about the need to study “Drug War Post Traumatic Stress” in Humboldt and other affected areas. It’s no joke, and needs a serious discussion. If not to prevent the abuse that happens in the counter-culture pot scene, at least to help the wounded heal in a light free from fear.

Editor: I want to express my agreement with and thanks to Paul Mann for his “Bomb Throwers and Bridge Builders” column in the Feb. 5 North Coast Journal. He hit it right. The days he mentioned that included checks and balances and compromise are long gone. He mentioned when Newt Gingrich and the Republicans took control of the House the phrase they used emphatically was “no compromise.” I was a witness to the White House and the Congress on opposite ends of Pennsylvania Avenue when hard battles were waged in Congress by members who also talked with one another after the floor tussles. I was there between 1968 and 1999 and was amazed at how decorum left, working together left, compromise left. Lyndon Johnson went to the White House from Congress. He knew how to pull the two sides together. Now our legislators are elected and immediately begin to work for their re-election. Elections are being bought. We now know the Koch brothers plan to spend nearly $1 billion to buy the legislators they want and we will not know where that money is going. This all must change. Now.

Culture Change HSU builds efforts to prevent and respond to sexual violence on campus By Grant Scott-Goforth grant@northcoastjournal.com

s public outrage and awareness intensify, universities around the nation are grappling with one of campus life’s cultural mainstays: sexual violence. As acceptance of the scale of the problem grows and attitudes begin to shift, colleges are being scrutinized for a lack of disciplinary action or even investigation into frequent assaults on students. No student on any campus is safe from sexual assault, but learning institutions are finally, slowly, beginning to address the problem. Humboldt State University has been ahead of that curve — the university’s Sexual Assault Prevention Committee, made up of faculty, administrators, community groups and law enforcement, has been around for decades, and was reinvigorated about nine years ago under the leadership of critical race, gender and sexuality studies department chair Kim Berry and communications department chair Maxwell Schnurer. As national attitudes began to lurch forward, HSU garnered a significant grant, launched a student awareness campaign, updated its sexual assault policy and brought modern training to its police officers. Committee members have praised the administration for its dedication to solutions as many colleges have come under fire for practicing rug-sweeping as a PR strategy. Berry has been on the committee since its inception, and is enthused by the current “national discourse.” In addition to headlines, there’s a presidential task force and congressional attention. Sen. Barbara Boxer, who’s backing legislation aimed at sexual assault, recently predicted an increased public backlash will follow the coming release of a documentary about the issue that recently screened at the Sundance Film Festival. Perhaps most importantly, the federal government has embraced a new interpretation of Title IX — the national law promising gender equity in education — to consider widespread sexual assault an impediment to education and a form of discrimination

against women. “Title IX is being used across the whole nation to implement policies and procedures to prevent sexual assault on campus and then respond to it in an effective manner,” Berry said. The university’s policies also fit the standards of a new CSU-wide executive order that schools comply with the state’s recent affirmative consent law, which requires universities investigating assaults to ask if all the parties involved in the incident gave “an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity.” The HSU committee has received national attention — earning a $250,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice in 2012 and earning recognition of excellence from the department’s Office on Violence Against Women in 2014. That money allowed the committee to hire a half-time prevention coordinator to work closely with students, community groups and campus police. The committee developed Check It, a student-oriented bystander intervention program, which encourages people to step between potential predators and victims, whether it’s calling out behavior at parties, helping drunk friends get home or focusing on affirmative consent. The students that make up the program have been reaching out to campus clubs and offering guidance and “party kits” featuring consent-friendly shwag, like stickers for keg cups and door hangers that read “consent is f$%&ing required.” Culture change may be the trickiest part of the committee’s task; the first step is changing the zeitgeist of rape and sexual assault. Most rapes are committed by someone who knows the victim — 80 to 90 percent, Berry said. The vast majority of assaults are committed by men, and women make up about 90 percent of the victims. While it does occur, victims rarely — about 2 percent of the time, according to Berry — fabricate assaults.

Universities are filled with people who’ve had 18 years of cultural programming to think of sex as a “thing to get as opposed to a human experience.” — Kim Berry

Adding to misconceptions about the perpetrators of assault, Berry said, is a general culture that, indirectly or otherwise, is permissive of sexual assault. Universities are filled with people who’ve had 18 years of cultural programming to think of sex as a “thing to get,” Berry said, “as opposed to a human experience.” Check It aims to make students comfortable talking about sex and violence, and to encourage them to step in when their peers act out of line. Another piece of adapting an approach to sexual assault is changing the way university police handle reports. New neurobiological studies about how rape survivors recall traumatic events have prompted new interview tactics around the nation, including at HSU. Lynne Soderberg, who acted as the University Police Department’s chief for three years before retiring earlier this month, said the department was always “survivor-centered,” meaning it took the time to connect with students and build a rapport with survivors. Still, when victims recall assaults, “the trauma itself can get in the way of an accurate recollection,” Soderberg said. “For law enforcement, sometimes it looks like a person is not telling the full story or not making sense … when really that’s not what’s going on.” New research indicates that statements are often more clear and complete when a victim has had a good night’s sleep following an assault, and UPD has changed its interview policy to encourage rest before completing an interview. It’s the same tactic that police departments take with officers who have been in traumatic situations. “If the survivor is willing to give us a more in-depth statement after time

to sleep, it’s much better,” Soderberg said. UPD held its first training with this new understanding last fall, and Soderberg said at least one officer recalled an interview where it felt like “pieces were missing” from the victim’s statement. Following the training the officer told Soderberg, “I get it now.” Soderberg said she hopes the victim interview trainings continue. “Paying attention to what survivors want is important,” she said, adding that new chief Donn Peterson feels the same way. Still, Berry said, sexual assaults are severely underreported, especially to police. HSU’s Clery Report, a federally mandated disclosure of campus crime, shows that students reported four sexual assaults on campus to police in 2013, all four of which took place in the university’s residential facilities. In 2012, five assaults were reported, four of which took place in residential facilities. One, also in a residence hall, was reported in 2011. But initial results from a recent survey conducted by the sexual assault prevention committee show that incidents of harm reflect the national average, which shows that roughly one in five women have been victims of sexual violence during their four to six years attending a university. The results of the survey are still being analyzed, but extrapolating national averages to HSU indicates that more than 800 students currently attending the university will be victimized during their college careers. The number of reported sexual assaults are going up at HSU — But Berry says that’s a “sign that we are taking the issue of sexual violence seriously,” not that more assaults are occurring. The collaboration between the sexual assault prevention committee, students, university police, the administration and community groups means students are becoming more empowered to report the incidents when they do occur. “Those numbers all of a sudden start going up when you start doing the work we’re doing,” Berry said. “That’s a good thing.” Berry’s researched and worked to prevent sexual assault for 30 years, and is excited by the recent attention being paid by HSU and universities around the country. “I have the hope that 50 years from now we’ll look back at this period of time and wonder, ‘How was it possible for a culture of degradation, subjection and violence to go on and be accepted as business as usual for so many decades?’ “I’m hoping we will look back in horror.” l northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, FEB. 12, 2015

EMERGENCY

Ferndale native and former North Coast Congressman Don Clausen has died. He was 91. Clausen, a World War II veteran and a Republican who served from 1963 to 1982 in the U.S. House of Representatives, was described in a 2013 Santa Rosa Press Democrat story celebrating his 90th birthday as an ambidextrous baseball player (he could pitch left- or right-handed) who was willing to reach across the aisle to make friends with his colleagues within the Democrat-controlled Congress: “’There was no alternative,’ said Clausen, recalling a more collegial body than today’s Congress, gridlocked by partisan warfare that contributes to a public approval rating below 20 percent.” Even so, his politics didn’t sit well with some. As the late environmental activist Lucille Vinyard put it, as quoted in a 2001 North Coast Journal story, “Don and I remained friends, but we were always on the opposite side of everything.” That story notes she “also had trouble with him on the Redwood National Park issue, when Clausen sought her support of a bill that he proposed. She told him, ‘No, Don, I didn’t travel 3,000 miles [to Washington] to support your bill. I want a REAL park.’” Clausen did write the bills that got the park started, in 1968, and expanded later. And King Salmon folks probably have him to thank for their community’s continued existence — he secured the government funds to build those fortifications that keep the water from gobbling it up. And those are just some of things Clausen’s known for having had a hand in. — Heidi Walters

February is shaping up to be a bad month for Floyd and Betty Squires. First, on Feb. 4, the city of Eureka shuttered the couple’s Blue Heron Lodge, arguing the 15-unit building was operating in violation of the city’s problem motel ordinance (see below). Then, early on the morning of Feb. 9, fire broke out at the couple’s apartment building in the 100 block of Fifth Street, leaving an unidentified man with second-degree burns on his upper torso. Humboldt Bay Fire Battalion Chief Chris Jelinek said investigators haven’t determined what caused the fire, which appears to have started in the living room of a second-floor apartment. Jelinek said firefighters were able to gain control of the blaze pretty quickly, minimizing damage to the structure’s other five or six units. Jelinek said it is unclear how many tenants have been displaced by the fire, saying people who escaped the burning building mostly left the scene and weren’t interviewed by fire crews. The fire remains under investigation, but Jelinek said there’s nothing to indicate it was suspicious in nature. — Thadeus Greenson

Congress’ approval. The film, by Atkinson and filmmaker Jeff Martin, is called A River between Us and comes out this spring. High Country News interviewed Atkinson about it, and notes that he was the “first Republican to ever receive a 100 percent approval rating from the Oregon League of Conservation Voters.” HCN reports that Atkinson “hopes the film will help spur Congress to authorize the agreement — what he calls ‘the greatest conservation opportunity in America.’” Atkinson, in the interview, says that it’s wrong to think of the Klamath River battle as “right versus left, dams versus fish.” In related news, President Obama’s 2016 budget includes $18 million for management of the Klamath Project (the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation system of dams and reservoirs in the upper Klamath River basin). The Herald and News details what the money would fund, including $5.2 million for water and energy management and development.

Survey Your Sins

Ah, the magical storm drain. Alligators live down there, we know, and escapees, and gourmand rats — fantastical beings swimming around in lurksome joy. Plus, of course, all that junk you’ve let wash into it, too: pet poop, cigarette butts, wrappers, caps, oil, chemicals and other detritus that drifts from fingers, drips off cars and

oozes from properties. Down the drain (or into a creek). And then magically washed to sea, right? Yes, to sea, but there’s nothing magic about that part of the journey. Once rain — or your chemically enhanced landscape watering overflow — washes the junk down the drain, that watery mix is not treated. So it pollutes our bay and ocean. Well, the North Coast Storm Water Coalition hopes to learn more about people’s knowledge of storm drains and urban runoff and such in order to better educate them about the issues and perhaps turn around some of their deleterious habits. Which is all to say there’s a new survey! Find a link to take it online at www.northcoastjournal.com. — Heidi Walters

The couple filed a claim seeking damages in excess of $25,000 against the city Feb. 3 alleging that the city’s notice to vacate was issued without due process and in violation of their civil rights. Nonetheless, the city followed through with shuttering the property. Chief Building Official Brian Gerving said staff from the county Department of Health and Human Services and Street Outreach Services were on hand to help move the tenants who remained at the property into transitional housing and sign them up for additional services. Eureka Police Capt. Steve Watson said he breathed a sigh of relief watching the city board up the building, noting the residence has generated more calls for police and emergency services over the last two years than any other in town. Watson also has a personal history there. When he led the department’s fledgling Problem Oriented Policing team in 2010, the first warrants it served were on rooms there where heroin and metham-

the week in WEed

In Weed Veritas By Grant Scott-Goforth grant@northcoastjournal.com

t should come as no surprise to anyone who’s done more than a cursory perusal of the World Wide Web that weed and porn show up online together — to paraphrase a psychologist in Jennifer Fumiko Cahill’s cover story this week, “overlapping interests.” But most of those Tumblrs and Instagrams don’t really incorporate weed into the smut. The feeds are a string of images; a cheesecake photo of a girl in pot-leafprint underpants, then a pile of buds. A … bent … model stolen from Swank, followed by smartphone snapshot of an indoor garden. A gif of dudes pounding away at each other, followed by a shot of a shirtless hunk smoking a … cigarette? Whatever, close enough. Actual weed-themed erotica is harder to come by, apparently. (I did not do an exhaustive search. If I’m wrong, please send corrections to my boss: editor@ northcoastjournal.com.) But worry not! Filling the pot-porn void is a cast of hairless-from-the-eyelashesdown journalists at the Naked Weed Report, a weekly, softcore webcast that in some ways is a lot like this very column. (In many ways it’s not at all like this column.) Porn is not quite the right word for it. The six-minute newscasts feature a medley of young women awkwardly stripping in front of a green screen while they poorly annunciate teleprompter cues about sex positions, cannabis-related research and unoriginal but stoner-friendly “news.” It’s hollow and strangely hypocritical to watch a young woman unhook her bra while she badmouths Paris Hilton’s career path, but the biggest question is, why does this even exist? Weed news roundups are OBVIOUSLY of cultural and historical importance, and willingly naked women are cool, by most accounts, but who decided we need them to mix? l OK, but what about people who want their overlapping interests in ganja and orgasms to be a little more interactive? Enter High There!, the Android app that connects lonely weed lovers. The Tinder of marijuana was born when the company’s now-CEO got walked out on for

Sweets for your sweetie!

coming clean about his stonerdom during first dates. Like Tinder, the app lets you browse local profiles for shared interests (read: hot profile pics) without having to worry that your puffing proclivity will bring the hookup to a grinding halt. It’s unclear how much of a presence the app has behind the Emerald Curtain — it’s unavailable to iPhone users. But — serious question — do people in the Humboldt County dating scene need to worry that pot is a dealbreaker? Isn’t some kind of weed activity or association expected? If anything, it’s probably Humboldt’s sober singles that need a dating app.

l A Reddit user recently took to the site to ask the classic coming-of-age question: “Weed makes me temporarily gay. Anyone else?” Um. No. But, presuming the post wasn’t a scared-straight plant from the American Family Association (and there’s a good chance it is based on this strangely unsubtle text from the post: “I feel very attracted to girls and not at all to men when sober, but when I get high I just want a big cock to suck and a man who fucks the shit out of me”), maybe there’s an explanation. And it’s not the phallic imagery (ahem, bong users) permeating weed culture. In last year’s article succinctly titled “Fucking Stoned: The Search for a WeedBased Aphrodisiac,” sex experts told Motherboard that cannabis can be arousing, but more likely reinforces “whatever level of sexual interest a user is already experiencing.” Author Susie Bright recommended small to moderate doses of pot to enhance arousal for those disinclined to sleepiness and paranoia, but added, “it’s hard to identify universal truths when it comes to cannabis and pleasure.” Indeed, little research has been done on cannabis’ loin-igniting effects, but pot has been used as a Reefer Madness scapegoat for sexual deviance and violence. Of course, being attracted to dudes is neither of those. So embrace the feeling, Redditor. Or don’t. Whatever makes you happy. l

Fur Real TOKALA THE FOX.

Humboldt furries open up about the fandom, the furor and the freedom of fur By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill Photos by Mark McKenna

itting in an armchair at Because Coffee, Michael Genzoli hoists a big, blue fox head out of his bag and combs the turquoise shock of hair between its ears. If the weather holds, he and his roommate, who suits up as a white tiger, are going out for Arts! Alive in Old Town Eureka. “If we do, there’ll be lots of hugs. And tail pulling,” he adds with a shrug. They hate tail pulling. Once the head is on, along with paws and a fat swoosh of a tail, so is Genzoli, hamming it up in pantomime for the photographer. Two young women in the corner, Alexis Roberts and Marie Profant, ask to take a picture and he obliges. When they hear the word “furries,” Profant’s face freezes and the women exchange a look. If Genzoli notices, it doesn’t show. He cocks his head for the crouching photographer. He knows the drill; he’s a furry. Furries — in suits or otherwise — are tired of being labeled deviants, and they’re quick to point out that it’s a fandom — a group of like-minded fans — not a fetish. Sensational portrayals of fur-suited sex romps in the me-

dia and conflation of the group’s love of humanoid animals with bestiality have left many skittish about talking to outsiders and the press about the subculture at all, much less anything beyond a G rating. Sex, as it turns out, is only a part of the picture, and not in the way you might think. In fact, this community of fluffy pariahs may have created a uniquely accepting place to experiment with who they are — or could be — including their sexuality and gender. Remember how much you loved talking cartoon animals as a kid? What if you still loved them? A lot? Just as Trekkies love Star Trek, furries define themselves as fans of fictional anthropomorphic characters — animals that look or behave like people — the kind you might find in a Disney movie, a folk tale or a comic book. And just as not all Trekkies wear Spock ears or Starfleet uniforms, not all furries dress up as animals. In fact, according to the International Anthropomorphic Research Project (IARP), a team of social scientists who’ve surveyed thousands of self-identified furries annually over the past five years,

fewer than 15 percent of self-proclaimed furries own suits. The vast majority of furries are white males under the age of 30 with some secondary education. Their numbers in Humboldt County are tough to estimate, since many keep their interests secret from all but the closest of friends due to the social stigma. Owners of one local fursuit company declined to comment for this story because they didn’t want to draw attention to themselves in connection with furries, and most of those who would talk opted not to use their real names. But the Humboldt Furries Facebook page has 18 friends and Humfurs, a local MeetUp group, has 22 members. They’re out there.

Kylani is a bobcat.

Well, in real life, she’s an undergraduate wildlife major at Humboldt State University who got into the furry fandom six years ago through her interest in drawing animals, which she finds far more captivating than humans. “Eh,” she says over the phone,

UNLIKE GENZOLI’S PARTIAL SUIT, FULL SUITS CAN COST UPWARDS OF $2,000.

“[human] faces all look the same.” Kylani isn’t her name, either, it’s her fursona, an alter ego she created. Like most furries, who typically only have one or two over the years, she chose her fursona for personal reasons, starting with an animal that spoke to her and creating a version of herself as she’d like to be. It’s similar to cosplay, in which fans dress as favorite characters, but without a ready-made identity and backstory or, necessarily, a costume. (Kylani doesn’t have one.) “For me, personally, it’s about expressing an inner personality,” she says. Like her, bobcats aren’t very large, but “they’re very adaptable, often ignored, but pretty fierce, pretty awesome creatures.” For Kylani, being a furry isn’t about sex at all. Her fursona is a creative outlet, a stronger self she leans on. “I was heavily bullied, I suffered from depression. In my first year of college, I was sexually assaulted,” she says with a quiet, steady voice. Her imagination was “a place of refuge” and, in the aftermath of the assault, it was easier to channel her anger through drawings of Kylani than it was to express it directly. “She’s got the claws, she’s got the teeth,” she says, her voice lifting a little. She still struggles, sometimes turning to Kylani for inspiration. “I did not get justice,” she says, but she’s turned some of her energies to victim support and rape prevention, which, evidently, is what Kylani would do. Dr. Courtney Plante is a psychology researcher at the University of Waterloo and a co-founder of the IARP. (He’s also the only furry on the five-person research team.) Plante says he’s interviewed furries who say the escape and community of furry fandom have saved their lives. Acceptance by other furries is “a source of self-esteem for them, sometimes for the first time in their lives.” He also notes that, according to the study, some 25 percent of furries keep their fursonas totally separate from their sex lives. For many furries, he says, “This is an idealized version of themselves and they don’t want to taint it. For them it would be like drawing genitals on Mickey Mouse.” While Kylani knows there are furries who are into the sexual aspect of the lifestyle, she doesn’t know any, and she’s not wild about being accused of bestiality or stereotyped as hypersexual. She’s also skeptical about those apocryphal tales of costumed orgies. “I’m very sex positive. As long as it’s two or more consenting adults,” she says. But, “the last thing people want is to get semen on their very expensive fursuit. … They get very hot and very sweaty and not in a sexy way … and they’re continued on next page

super hard to wash,” she adds, laughing. It’s an observation repeated (usually with chuckling) by every furry who agreed to be interviewed. In fact, those suits are damn pricey — upward of $2,000 for a custom model. And they’re so cumbersome and stuffy that some furry conventions feature “headless lounges” where participants can take off their foam-packed animal heads and sit in front of a fan.

The bestiality rap is un-

earned, according to Plante, and abusing animals is reviled among the community, which is largely made up of animal lovers. In fact, he says, “There’s been a long history of people missing the point … they go on the assumption that this is a fetish.” He says there is a sexual aspect to the fandom because furries are, after all, only human. Mind you, roughly 38 percent of furries surveyed by the IARP say sex is part of their interest but not a defining element (most cite community as key). Thirty-six percent say the sexual aspect is a major draw. Plante estimates that sexual themes are no more prevalent than among comic book fans, for instance. “If you are a 25-year-old male and you’re into comic books … the natural sex drive is already there,” he says. And if superheroes enter your sexual imagination and your eyes linger over those tights, “you’re just combining your interests.” Fair enough when it comes to Captain America and Wonder Woman, but what about the animal thing? Plante finds the hand wringing silly and blames a “sex negative” society. “You pop a pair of furry cat ears on somebody instead of lingerie and suddenly it’s scandalous. … A Playboy bunny can put on a pair of ears and nobody bats an eye.” The bunnies shaking their tails around Hefner’s mansion and people in skimpy animal costumes on Halloween are accentuating their human bodies and hinting at an animal nature. And that’s a far cry from bestiality. It’s actually pretty cliché.

of wavy brown hair behind her ear, Crysta (fursona name) leafs through sketches — some naturalistic, some humanoid — from the wolf comic she’s working on. She wears a tie-dyed T-shirt emblazoned with a phoenix. She’s in her 20s but came up with her fursona as a child. It morphs into a new creature every year — a dog, a horse, a snake and once even a human. It wasn’t until an old boyfriend introduced her to furry culture that she put a name to the role-play she’d kept going in her imagination into adulthood. Her alter ego, a strong and adventurous

heroine, goes into every part of her life. Among friends, she’ll use animal gestures here and there and do a little “skritching,” or affectionate scratching similar to grooming. “Gonna say it: Having someone scratch your head is the best thing ever,” she proclaims. Like Kylani, she studied wildlife and loves furry art, but some of her drawings and the ones she enjoys looking at are a whole lot friskier. Plante says the term for furry-themed

erotic art, “yiff” (what the mating fox says, apparently), is used ironically and is as uncool as “nookie.” But it still pulls up quite an inventory on Google — cartoon images (not actual animals, folks) of wildly varying artistic skill, that skew more Jessica Rabbit than Bugs Bunny. “Sometimes I’m like, ‘That’s a really nice piece of art,’ and sometimes it’s like, ‘That’s hot,” says Crysta. She laughs and turns her large, hazel eyes to the ceiling.

“It’s porn!” According to the IARP’s numbers, among furries, 96 percent of fellas and 78 percent of ladies view porn with anthropomorphic animal themes, though it seems to be mixed in with PG furry art. Crysta says it’s all good fun; nobody gets hurt and it’s a little more creative than typical pornography. “And there’s a curiosity about what that would be like and feel like,” she says, and she sees nothing wrong with exploring that kind of fantasy. She recalls a Christian friend confiding in her that he was worried about some of the images he’d been enjoying online. Crysta rolls her eyes at the memory. She told him to forward them to her for an opinion. “I was like, ‘Dude, you might be a furry.’” Crysta sees Puritanism and a warring obsession with sex as the reason the media and the general public freak out and zoom in on the sexual element of the furry life, ignoring the camaraderie of shared interests. She shrugs. “Because something is different, we’re against it. We’re horrified, but we’re kind of curious.” She says she’s a sexual person, adding with a laugh, “even though I don’t get any right now.” She personally can’t handle gory images and “vore,” in which anthropomorphic characters engulf one another in a puzzling sexual way. “Sometimes I feel like, why is this a thing?” she asks, smiling and covering her face. But she’s not judging anybody. The nonjudgmental nature of the furry community is a big part of its draw. With the exception of things that are illegal, not too much will get you kicked out of the club. Still, Plante says the vast major-

what being a furry means are put off. Plante says staying in the furry closet is not uncommon given the stigma surrounding the community, and there’s even some nerd-on-nerd hate. According to the IARP’s research, furries perceive hostility from outsiders keenly. And not for nothing. The group surveyed sports fans, whose response was “overwhelmingly negative” toward furries, and despite some overlap in membership, even anime fans’ perception of furries was “generally negative.” Et tu, Sailor Moon? Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle freaky? Plante says it’s not such a shock, just one stigmatized group throwing another one under the bus to avoid an embarrassing association.

The survey found that while 84 percent of furries at a convention were male and 16 percent were female, only 66 percent of fursonas were “entirely male,” and 10 percent were “entirely female.” The rest fell somewhere in between. “I would wager,” Plante continues, “that there’s nothing systematic about the fandom. … More than anything, the fandom is a safe place for people to be who they want to be.”

since he was 12. He leans back in his chair, spiky black hair peeking out from a black ball cap with a fox logo. And he’s fine using his real name instead of his fursona, Tokala. “It’s never been anything I’ve ever felt I should be ashamed of,” he says. He knows how lucky he is to be accepted by his family — his grandmother helped him find his first suit. He knows people who haven’t had it so easy. His ex’s mother, for example, “immediately got on the animal-fucker train” and refused to hear any more. Tokala is blue — a Fennick fox and red fox hybrid — who’s a bit more outgoing and playful than Genzoli is in daily life, though watching him chat up a woman about her boots, it’s hard to imagine him as shy. His suit is partial — head, paws and a tail — but he’s working on a full one, considering both the design and the maker as carefully as one might plan a serious tattoo. Since he was a kid, Genzoli has connected with animal characters in cartoons, and he wondered if it was normal that he was more interested in them than in fictional humans. Then he found his tribe. He’s just gotten back from the Further Confusion conference in San Jose, where 3,560 attendees (some 700 in fursuits) showed up for panels, vendors, socializing and dance-offs. Genzoli especially loves watching people cut loose and get down in their animal get-ups, which is both physically impressive and hilarious. (Treat yourself to a video search — let’s just say Lou Seal needs to step it up.) The conference was definitely not a den of

faux fur lust. Neither are the furry hangouts with friends in town. Mostly they watch movies, drink, do some drawing and maybe scritch. “Who doesn’t want to get their head scratched?” he asks. “It’s great!” If somebody shows up with a suit, there’s a lot of platonic hugging and petting, but not for too long, he says with a laugh, “those things are hot.” Which isn’t to say he doesn’t enjoy the sexual aspect of furry culture. “Something that arouses me is furry characters, so it kind of plays a part,” he says. While Genzoli hasn’t brought his fursona (or his suit) into the bedroom, his partners know about his interests before they start dating, since he and Tokala are more or less “inseparable.” He does some online role play which can get steamy. Asked if he means an online game or chatting, he grins and taps his fingers on the table like a keyboard. His fursona is always male, and he prefers role play with women, but he’s “not a stickler.” In fact, he says of his online furry identity, “I am bisexual, but when it comes to me and other people [in daily life], I’m straight.” As far as men in real life, “I’ve tried it and it just wasn’t for me,” but there are male characters that he finds “appealing.” He knows that some furries won’t be thrilled that he’s talking about his sexuality in relation to the fandom. “There are a lot of furries who wish it wasn’t so ... denial might fit,” he says. He says the hostility toward the community is unfair, noting that other fan groups, such as Trekkies, have adult themes, too, but aren’t met with disgust from outside. “Who cares? Who cares if someone else wants to be an animal? Who cares if people want to have sex in their fursuits, or whatever?” Furries, he says, “aren’t even the weirdest thing out there by societal standards.” While he gets why so many furries hide, it saddens him. Furries, he feels, need to “stop being ashamed of what we are.” And if someone reads this and judges Genzoli, then he or she probably isn’t a person he needs in his life. After all, like he says of his fursona, “It’s me.” ●

Don’t wait until you win your local Planned Parenthood’s Sexytime Trivia contest (next one is Feb. 20) and, as a prize, receive a goodie bag with oh-my-wouldyou-look-at-that to discover the joys of toys. Whatever your situation, orgasms are awesome and a world of enhancement awaits. Come on in. 2. Who have you come shopping for and why? Are you looking for a little you time — a way to privately explore heightening your sexual pleasure? Or maybe you’re just a really lazy masturbator? Are you considering a present for your partner(s)? If so, is your partner known to enjoy this sort of action or are you springing the Beginning Bondage kit on him/ her/them without warning? (Best to feel things out first.) Are you buying your partner a sex toy because you’re not one and you’re tired of rejecting her? You can’t just hand a man a Fleshlight and say, “I’m going to sleep now. Come up when you’re done and please don’t wake me.” (Well, maybe you can.) (Aside: When that particular toy shows up in your winnings, selling it on eBay will go all kinds of wrong.) Point is, you don’t want to just walk into a sex shop, grab the first toy you see and hope it’s the right fit. Or order something in the confusion of online options only to stay confused when it arrives on your doorstep. So identify your needs, involve your partner if appropriate, do some research and be prepared to ask questions. 3. Consider your fears — and those of your sex partner(s) if applicable.

are concerned they’ll become desensitized and thus dependent on a mechanical assist to reach orgasm. And some men can feel threatened when their girlfriend comes home with an artificial sidekick. When it comes to the former, don’t worry! Remember, one can take many roads to Satisfaction City. The freeway might be the most direct route, but that doesn’t mean the lovely, meandering country path ceases to be an option — emphasis on “option.” Sex toys are a way to expand, not limit, them. Remember that, guys. The Rabbit Habit Original Deluxe might intimidate you at first glance, but real, live people have the advantage of hands and mouths and hearts and brains. 4. Now that you’re clear on the who, the why and the worry, step into your local sex shop — look, I know, small town, right? Sure, you might come across someone you know, but hey, he’s also trying to decide between this object and that — discretion is understood in these situations. Or at least it should be. Please do not engage your fellow customer in small talk if she clearly is uncomfortable. Let her examine the Stronic Drei Pulsator in peace, would you? And for the love of all things holy, don’t come on to her. Do consider bringing cash, lest the clerk ask for your driver’s license to go along with your credit card, then recognize your name — small town factor — and say it out loud for the entire store to hear, followed by, “Are you the one from the radio?” I mean, hypothetically, that could happen. It probably won’t. But if you want to be sure — cash. And

despite these teensy risks, being able to ask questions of the sales staff helps ensure you’ll come out with the best product from what can be an overwhelming number of choices. Being able to see, hear and sometimes touch the future object of your affection informs your decision-making for the best. Size matters! Vibration varies! Much like buying shoes and bras online, buying sex toys that way often goes awry because you’re unable to properly familiarize yourself with them first. If you absolutely need more anonymity, try popping into a shop during your next trip out of town. If you do order online, check the site’s reputation (Dan Savage suggests www.adameve.com; www.goodvibes.com is the Helen Mirren of sex shops; www.babeland.com and www.edensfantasy.com come recommended), do your research and read reviews. 5. Make healthy choices. Not all sex toys are created equal. The Kinsey Institute ranks silicone, ABS plastic, stainless steel and Borosilicate glass (yep) as the safest materials because they are non-porous (think about it) and phthalate-free. Avoid jelly rubber, PVC and anything that is too bendy or odorous. Your toy should not smell like a new car. Quality goods are worth the investment. Please note, once a plaything gets boring or broken, www.scarletgirl.com offers sex toy recycling. (Based in Portland, natch.)

The Kit

What you need for the sex you deserve By Melinda Myers advice@northcoastjournal.com

n my work as a psychology teacher, and particularly in my practice as a psychologist, I’ve been witness to far too much suffering about sex. For something as potentially joyous, affirming and even spiritual as sexuality can be, it seems tragic to me how conflicted some of us are about this essentially human behavior. Occasionally I think about what I’d change about how things are in the world, especially about sexuality, given a magic wand. It comes down to this: It is my belief that we’ll be where we need to be as a society when nobody ever has sex they regret. By far, most of the regretful sex individuals have told me about was nonconsensual. Some was substance-fueled poor decision-making. A small number were unsuccessful efforts to bolster fragile self-concepts. I’ve been moved by hearing people tearfully reflecting a new awareness that they were responsible for hurting others in the past. How different, I wonder, would these people feel about themselves if their sex histories were full of enthusiastically consensual encounters rather than ugly ones? At the risk of beginning this column-writing adventure on a somber note, I’ve decided the potential benefit of healthy, gorgeous sex makes it worth that chance.

Asking oneself about the conditions required for a joyous sexual experience is a great starting place. What sort of relationship structure (or not) might enhance your lovemaking? I am admittedly openminded about this aspect of sexuality, and find myself protective of others’ right to create the sort of affirming connection with a sexual partner or partners that makes that person feel best. While I might personally cherish my relatively tame, middle-aged, married, monogamous life, I celebrate the different choices others might make. Ask yourself, what qualities in a partner might lead you to want to give enthusiastic consent? What elements of relationship are important for you? Smarter people than me, notably John and Julie Gottman, authors of Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, might start by saying that good intimate relationships can be identified by what they lack. Really happy sex is unlikely to result from a relationship characterized by frequent contempt, emotional stonewalling or defensiveness. Perhaps feeling respected, and feeling respect toward our partners, is part of most of our “good sex tool kits.”

Spent

Antonia Crane, Barnacle/ Rare Bird Books 2014 By Bill Cassel

he very existence of this book stands as a testament to one of the oldest clichés there is: Sex sells. If it didn’t, Spent would never have been published, and I wouldn’t be reviewing it; let’s admit that right up front. This is not meant as a slam on Antonia Crane, who tells her story in these pages, starting in Humboldt County and moving on to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New Orleans. Along the way she drifts into drug addiction, stripping, happy-ending massage and a bit of prostitution. Most of the book details her struggles to escape this hard-knock life, and the inexorable gravitational forces that repeatedly pull her back into it. We’ve heard this story before, and all the usual suspects are here: bulimia, cutting, low self-esteem, an abusive stepfather. But Crane tells it well. Her prose is direct and unflinching, and she is gifted with the turn of phrase. “Mom raised me to believe I could do what I like with my body,” she says. “She hadn’t raised me to sell my body for money, but she hadn’t raised me not to sell my body for money either.” She also has a robust sense of humor. “A tranny in a wheelchair was bumming change out front while smoking a Pall Mall. ‘Nice wig,’ she said. I dropped a couple quarters in her Styrofoam cup. She glared at me. ‘You idiot. That’s my coffee.’” But for every laugh there’s something that will make you feel a little queasy. The author of a book like this enters into a strange compact with her audience. We agree to listen to her story, and hopefully throw down a few dollars for the privilege; she agrees to share the most lurid and degrading details of her

life. We get to be titillated in the safety of our own homes and feel better about our own mistakes and compromises. “Sure, I worked for years at a job I hated,” we get to say to ourselves. “But I never did that.” To her credit, Crane (for the most part) does not play the victim. She is frank about the choices she’s made and accepts responsibility for them. If you want to zoom out a bit and put her story in a larger societal framework, that option is certainly available, but she mostly avoids politics. To her additional credit, she avoids the cop-out warm-and-fuzzy ending typical of this kind of book. “I’m forty years old, still stripping and giving handjobs to pay my rent,” she writes. “I have no clue how to leave this industry and enter the work force. This is the work force. The way out is the way in is the way out.” Be that as it may, Crane has something to be proud of in this book, which is well written and well designed, and boasts blurbs from Cheryl Strayed, Stephen Elliott and, for some reason, Moby. A cynic might say that revealing yourself in print is just another form of stripping, but telling your own story in your own words can’t help but be — to indulge in an overused word — empowering. You’ve already decided by this point in the review whether Spent is your kind of book. It won’t change your life (unless you’re a young woman prone to making bad decisions — in which case, well, it might). But you could do far worse with your literature dollar, and whether you want to cry along with her as her mother dies from cancer, or skim through ’til the next dirty part, I’m sure Antonia Crane will be glad to have you for a customer. l

Funky Cold Medina

Flirty drinks for consenting adults By John-Michael Wilkerson tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com

e’re all adults here. We know what we like and we know what we want. Often, what we want is sex. We look around and see it permeating every aspect of our lives, so it should come as no surprise that there’s an overabundance of drinks with names that go from the merely flirty to the more than suggestive. We buy drinks with naughty names for the titillation, but we don’t expect anything more. Everybody knows that aphrodisiacs aren’t real, right? Well, maybe they just don’t work the way we think. One of my favorite quotes about martinis is a little poem penned by the Algonquin Roundtable mistress of wit, Dorothy Parker;

I like to have a martini, Two at the very most. After three I’m under the table, after four I’m under my host. People have been calling booze “liquid courage” for years, but I think what we are really looking for is an excuse to enjoy ourselves, and sometimes, each other. Do we need to resort to outside catalysts to give ourselves permission to get out of our own way and have a good time? No. And getting plastered is counterproductive, too. But sharing little signals, such as a flirty drink, can go a long way toward making everybody happy. For example, suppose you’ve worked hard all week and finally get a nice evening out, stopping at a local watering hole for a nightcap. Hearing your partner order a drink with a suggestive name is a nice little signal that you should maybe limber up for what might follow. As a former intoxicologist, let me say there is no one drink that will guarantee you a night of no-pants dancing. Every person’s tastes are unique, and arguing over which drink is the right one for the occasion is a fast track to no dancing at all. It doesn’t matter if you prefer your drink sweet or too boozy, there is something out there for everybody. You can find everything from the Slippery Nipple, which tastes good, to the Screaming Blue Orgasm, which does not. Never hesitate to ask your mixologist for adventurous advice. A good bartender can steer you in the right direction. Of course I have a couple of suggestions for your consideration. The first is my old standby from my days behind the bar. It is a pretty drink that tastes a bit like Hawaiian Punch (and you know what they say about pineapple juice).

The Crawl

Ingredients and method: 2 ounces of Southern Comfort Pineapple juice Grenadine Orange slice or cherries for garnish Add a generous shot of Southern Comfort to a rocks glass with ice and fill almost the rest of the way with pineapple juice. Add just enough grenadine to turn the drink pinkish red. Stir and garnish with cherries or an orange wheel. And I honestly could not do an article on alcoholic aphrodisiacs without including this next libation. So this one is for all of you who remember the late ’80s. Ladies and gentlemen:

Build to edge of the document Margins are just a safe area

The Funky Cold Medina

Ingredients and method: 1 1/2 ounces of vodka (my current favorite is Farm Horse,) 1 1/2 ounces of blue curaçao 1 1/2 ounces Southern Comfort Cranberry juice Orange twist or your favorite garnish Fill a highball glass with ice cubes. Add equal parts vodka, Southern Comfort and blue curaçao. Fill the rest of the way with cranberry juice. Stir vigorously, garnish with an orange twist and serve. So go ahead, order an old-school Sex on the Beach (it tastes pretty good and there is no sand in embarrassing places), a goofy Mountain Dew Me (you can use Dew or sprite in this one), or the Hop Skip and Go Naked (the name does not lie). Just keep in mind Shakespeare’s counsel about overconsumption, from Act II, Scene 3 of Macbeth: “It provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.” l northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, FEB. 12, 2015

Choosing the right medical cannabis

Can be confusing at first with so many different and unusual names and choices. That being said, it is much easier to find a medical cannabis product that will work for you once you have figured out what your desired effect is. We are learning so much more about this wonderful plant all the time. We now know that aspects of cannabis such as the flavor, contributes to the effect. Remember, “The nose knows” – So trust your instincts and keep a personal cannabis journal to note how certain strains affect you. One very important factor in choosing the right medicine for yourself is that each strain has a limit to the amount and type of cannabiniods that can be received by your body at a certain time. This is why you gain a tolerance faster to certain strains and others seem to medicate the same way for longer. By choosing to use different strains, and different methods of ingestions, such as using edibles or vaporizing, it is easier to keep your cannabiniod receptors fresh and ready to be activated by the next type of medicine you are using. This will help you conserve your medicine and get the maximum effect from it, and it can also help to reach the desired cannabiniod balance you are looking for. Each patient has an individual reaction to each type of medicine tried, and experimentation with different types of strains and methods of use is essential for the new patient. In very little time, you’ll be able to determine what works best for you. We are here to help you find what will work best for your needs. Please feel free to come to us with any questions or concerns. We believe in the “Heart of Humboldt” and professional and compassionate care is what you will always receive here.

“ARTIST’S DAUGHTER IN PURPLE LEOTARD,” OIL ON WOOD. “ALLEN POND REFLECTIONS,” OIL ON WOOD.

The Extended Gaze Andrew Daniel at Umpqua Bank By Linda Stansberry artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

ndrew Daniel likes to stare. “I love looking at people,” he says. “I like studying their gazes and faces and fashion. You can’t stop and do that, usually. It makes people uncomfortable. But when you’re doing portrait work you can stare for a long time. I don’t think of it as voyeuristic. It’s humanistic.” Daniel is tall and broad but unimposing, with a bright red beard and careful mannerisms. We sit at his kitchen table drinking tea as his daughter Abby flits around us: opening the refrigerator, playing with the family dog, returning to the couch in the living room to do homework. A seventh grader at

Sunny Brae Middle School, she often models for Daniel’s figure painting group. “Lately she has posed in a few of her dance costumes. It is fascinating to see how her features change from season to season and her self possession and poise develop,” says Daniel. Not long ago, a return to figure painting seemed unlikely for the artist, who includes Jim McVicker and Michelle Murphy-Ferguson among his many influences. Daniel’s oil landscapes celebrate the beauty of life on the Redwood Coast, a place he arrived at through a circuitous route from a childhood in Orange County and then an adolescence in Maine. The original plan was to re-establish California residency by living with his sister in Arcata, then attend university in Los Angeles, but he quickly fell in love with

Humboldt County. He has been painting its creeks, fields, mountains and people for more than two decades. “I use paint as a technique for slowing down and seeing the world,” he says. “Technology provides us with a lot of disposable imagery. We’re constantly distracting ourselves. Painting is a way to stop and see creation around me. It’s a beautiful, humbling experience.” He recounts riding to a hidden trail on the Hoopa reservation in the back of the pickup truck with several of his guide’s friends. The men kept pointing out things Daniel didn’t see, like the flash of a deer or rabbit in the trees. Daniel realized that the men, all accomplished hunters, had learned to see the landscape in a way many people cannot. “Being a painter is kind of like being a hunter. You learn to read the signs and collaborate with nature. You really see it, see the changes in the light. With landscape paintings, sometimes you need to go back six or 10 times to internalize the visual logic of it.” “Allen Pond Reflections,” one of the landscape paintings featured at Umpqua

Bank through February, was painted over the course of six moist spring mornings at the Arcata Marsh. “By the time I had finished, the yellow flowers had been mowed and the old reeds were concealed by the new fresh green ones. It’s a neat way to mark time.” Daniel has always been a dedicated student of technique, as well. At Humboldt State University he studied the history of art until he “got paralyzed by it.” When he decided to make figure painting a larger part of his work, he began attending sittings three times a week. He dashed off painting after painting of the models as to strengthen his skills. “I got to the point where I didn’t think I could stand looking at another naked person on a pedestal,” he says, adding that he didn’t think he would ever do portraiture again. “That’s what happens when you throw out absolutes, though, I guess. You’re asking the universe to prove you wrong.” The Eureka Figurative Arts Group gets together once a week. Daniel says that the (clothed) models offer him an opportunity to stare as long as he wants and to create portraits that stare back at the viewer. Abby, who poses on her school vacations, used to listen to audiobooks or watch movies as she modeled (Daniel says he loved capturing her somber expression during sad movies) but now enjoys listening to the conversations between the artists as they work. “I like hearing them talk,” she says shyly. Her own work, a watercolor of her family imagined as owls, is up on the refrigerator. Daniel often uses a wall in the family home to feature his daughter’s art during North Coast Open Studios. “She gets inspired by the creativity in the house and in the culture here,” says Daniel, chuckling gently. “So do I.” l Andrew Daniel’s work will be featured at Umpqua Bank in Arcata for Arts! Arcata, and through Feb. 28.

Your Guide to Love Or at least some musical options By Jennifer Savage thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

h, Valentine’s Day. On one hand, an opportunity to offend your partner by not celebrating with enough enthusiasm; on the other, a reason to feel shut out by society for not having a partner to “celebrate” with. But let’s find a happier path, shall we? Let’s start with those of you waking up next to someone you’ve entrusted yourself to.

Guide to Valentine’s Day No. 1: Established couples

First, start the day with a kiss and move on to the lovemaking from there. This way no matter what happens at least everyone got to have sex. Next, as you’re looking languidly into his or her eyes, say, “I wanted to get you something wonderful, but I also want to spend more time with you, so I thought we could go shopping together, wherever you want.” See what you’re doing there? Jettisoning the burden of picking out the perfect gift under the guise of togetherness. (You’re welcome!) Now, go celebrate your affection at one of the following shows: a. Sophisticated! The Fortuna Concert Series presents The San Francisco Munich Trio consisting of German-born Friedrich Edelmann, bassoon, and his wife, California native Rebecca Rust, violoncello, who are joined by Juilliard graduate Dmitriy Cogan, piano, from San Francisco. Hold hands at the Fortuna Monday Club starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 general, $8 students and

seniors. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. b. Sexy! Dancing! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Dancing is the best precursor to sex that exists. I dare you to argue with me. If you’re up on your steps, check out Latin Dance Night at Mazzotti’s. Strictly for those 18-and-over, $5, starts at 9 p.m. Alternately, stoke those romantic flames watching other people’s artful moves with the high-energy choreography of Samba na Chuva at Six Rivers Brewery. Cover is $10, show is 21-and-over. c. Heartful dodgers Or you could pop in to “a night of love and good vibes” at the Jambalaya with Raashan Ahmad and the GetDown Crew, a “veritable Humboldt hip-hop orchestra” made up of the ladies of Vidagua, Berel Alexander, Mike Lee on cello, Chris Noonan on the “hot, heated horns,” Drew Mohr on bass, Pete Ciotti on drums, Brian Swizlo on the keys and Ahmad in front. Tickets are $10, doors at 9 p.m., show is 21-and-over. d. Just like old times, sorta Brown Sabbath is the alter ego of Austin-based psych-funk collective Brownout who delve deep into reinterpreting the catalog of metal godfathers Black Sabbath. Brownout is further an eight-piece outfit formed 10 years ago by members of Grammy Award-winning Latin revival orchestra Grupo Fantasma. Take this info to Humboldt Brews, pay $15, be 21-and-over and enjoy a new twist on the old familiar.

I had to get some help with this one, as my entire dating scene took place in high school and mostly consisted of drinking wine coolers and making out in the back of my ’67 Mustang. A survey of happening untethered friends resulted in the following suggestions: Get your party on as a group, wear your sexy clothes, pack some condoms (obv) and let the people come to you — nothing invites attention like looking as if you’re too busy having a good time to bother chasing others down. Be a magnet. Do all the usual flirty things: Make eye contact, smile, compliment, crack jokes. Or you could just swipe right. a. Starry-eyed twang Show-wise, you’ve got the romantic stylings of Austin indie/psych-country band The Lonesome Heroes at the Trinidad Town Hall (of all places) for the Trinidad Love Affair. They’ve got a lovely sound, bittersweet and nostalgic, reminiscent of what people used to call “alt-country” — why do we always feel the need to distance ourselves from “country,” music fans? Doors open at 8 p.m., tickets are $15, show is 18-and-over. b. Fried pickles for two? Matt n’ Adam serve up a handpicked variety of heartfelt 45s at the Alibi, $2, 21-and-over. It’s dark, there’s drinking and the aforementioned kickass music — what else do you need to get lucky? c. Mythological mixtape

The Greek god Pan is renowned for his sexual prowess, which seems reason enough to head over to Richard’s Goat Tavern and Tea Room. Celebratory tunes start at 8 p.m. and are provided by Jaymorg, DJ Red and Spaceman Spliff, plus an opening set with DJ Zephyr. Free gig, 21-and-over.

Foreplay!

Thursday night offers a serious reggae show with Protoje and The Indiggnation, DJ Dub, Ishi Dube and Jah Sun at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. Doors open at 9 p.m. tickets are $20 advance at Morning Star, Northcoast Horticulture Supply and www.inticketing.com, $25 at the door, show is 21-and-over. Friday (the 13th!) brings you A-town’s own Free Rain, an instrumental ensemble led by guitarist Piet Dalmolen, celebrating the release of the band’s debut album, Regeneration, at Humboldt Brews. Show starts at 9 p.m. and includes DJ Rickshaw and local up-andcoming prog-rockers Farmhouse Odyssey. Tickets are $5, show is 21-and-over.

Comedy Takes Wing Los Pajaros soars at Humboldt State remarkably applicable through the ages. In both its continued appeal and its outcome, it is a story that goes to show that the more things change the more they stay the same. While closely following the structure and story of the original play, the adaptation by John Glore and the performance group Culture Clash, with music by Michael Roth, takes on updated issues from a Latino perspective. The story begins as Foxx and Gato, played by Geo Alva and Ivan Gamboa, wander a wasteland seeking the Hoopoe, a bird who used to be a man. Tired of the challenges and drudgery of living in the world of men, they aim to find a place less plagued by stress, hoping that in his flights Hoopoe may have come upon such a land. However, after meeting him, Foxx decides instead to convince the birds to build their own great city and become the ultimate rulers of men and gods. His argument proves persuasive and soon construction of the new utopia is underway. Everything seems ideal but complications quickly arise with a host

ver 2,000 years ago in ancient Greece, crowds gathered to enjoy a funny, bawdy, topical new satire by Aristophanes titled The Birds. It was applauded for its humor, the wit of its references and its engaging music. A classic comedy, the play has since seen multiple adaptations, its story of the search for a life unfettered proving

of unexpected and unwanted visitors. In the end, they learn that a trip to the clouds doesn’t mean they’ve left their problems behind on the ground. In HSU’s production, director Michael Fields has further adapted Culture Clash’s take, including changing the title to the Spanish Los Pajaros, updating references and adding local flair and a bit of commedia dell’arte spirit. The result is a show that offers ample opportunity for both heavy laughter and reflection on social themes. Be prepared for tongue-in-cheek impressions, crude jokes and audience participation. It is without question an energetic ride, presented in less than two hours with no intermission. Fields has gathered a strong cast, many taking on multiple roles, each with its own stand-out moment. The show benefits greatly from the addition of a live six-piece band on stage, led by Tim Randles, which provides a mix of Latin, rock and blues sounds. The use of the stage is particularly laudable. There is a mid-show scene change mid show that is one of the best executed and most beautiful I have ever seen. Overall, it is a production that, like the original, is hilarious in its references and engaging in its music and movement. Los Pajaros runs for just one more weekend. The show’s final three performances are Feb. 12 through 14 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee on Feb. 14 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 and $8 for students

and seniors. For more information, visit www.hsustage.blogspot.com.

Metal Hearts

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about romance — let’s open this thing up to all kinds of love. You could, for example, spend the evening with a sister. No, not the one who looks just like you and steals your eyeliner and boyfriends, but the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the ones who do all the fundraisers and would totally steal your eyeliner and boyfriends if you don’t lock them down. Join the Sisters on Saturday, Feb. 14 at the Bayside Grange Hall for Shot to the Heart Bingo ($15, 18 and up). If the song title brings back images of men and women in tight pants and big hair, good. Use that. The evening’s theme and the Gods of Rock Costume Contest is all about ’70s and ’80s rock and metal. Tease your do, streak your blush and show up as your favorite rock star or group for a chance to win a prize. In a couple? A trio? A quartet? Whatever a table of five is called? Get your stories straight for Cupid’s Cutest Couple, a game-show competition for more prizes. Not lucky in love? That’s OK, maybe you’ll have a better shot with the bingo mini games. Since nothing says love like a home-cooked meal, this is a potluck party. Whip up a dish to share and scribble down the ingredients on a card, just in case of allergies. You’ll be swapping recipes and basking in love before you can say “Bon Jovi.” — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

FOR KIDS

ART

Swingers

Did you blow Valentine’s Day? Don’t despair, you can fix this. Have a night out on the day after without the rom-com pressure or smug couples. Now that the swing craze of the ’90s is over, we can enjoy it without feeling smarmy. Big-band big shots Swing Fever are at the Morris Graves Museum of Art on Sunday, Feb. 15 from 2 to 5 p.m. ($5). Get your heart pumping with an afternoon of dancing to tunes from the 1930s to the 1950s played live with vocals from crooner Denise Perrier. It’s post-retro-retro fabulous with tons of meet-cute potential. Rest your dogs for a couple of hours and you’ll still make it in plenty of time for the Celtic Fiddle Festival at the Van Duzer Theatre at 8 p.m ($35, $25 kids, $5 HSU students). Sure, “violin music” is a little on the nose for romance, but this is fiddle. Totally different deal from that weird guy at the restaurant who wouldn’t leave your table. The members of the quartet hail from all over. Kevin Burke of Ireland, Andre Brunét of Quebec and Bretons Christian Lemaître and Nicholas Quémener make it look easy, chatting and laughing as they skip across borders to take you through myriad styles of fiddling and guitar. See? Better the second time around. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

WHOEVER DRANK MY COCONUT WATER BETTER REPLACE IT.

Sinking Ships

Black Sea leaks, Jupiter crashes By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

BLACK SEA. Director Kevin Macdonald, known best for The Last King of Scotland (2006) and more recently for the documentary Marley (2012), switches here to action-thriller-undersea-heist mode, with some socio-economic commentary thrown in for good measure. The result is a well-acted, intermittently tense muddle with a narrative incapable of supporting its own substantial weight. After being unceremoniously laid off by the marine salvage conglomerate that has employed him for 11 years, submarine captain Robinson (Jude Law, with Scottish accent) is left with a paltry severance check and an appointment at the jobs office. His wife and son have defected to some rich guy because of the prolonged underwater absences of his now-dead career. So when a likewise discharged friend informs him of some valuables on the floor of the Black Sea, Robinson is all ears. Rumor has it that in 1941, facing economic collapse, Hitler begged a loan from Stalin. The deal was done and a German U-boat was dispatched to the Black Sea, filled with gold bars and sunk on the return trip. It has rested on an accessible ridge for the intervening decades, just waiting for some enterprising pirates to come spirit away the bullion. With the help of the corporate weasel Daniels (Scoot McNairy) and a shadowy investor, Robinson cobbles together a half British, half Russian crew to sail a rusty, diesel-powered Soviet-era sub on the treasure hunt. Tensions, both

cultural and interpersonal, begin to mount almost immediately: bad news for such close quarters. There’s an element of mystery story to Black Sea, so I won’t spoil the rest of the plot, which thickens precipitously as it moves along. Macdonald maintains tension effectively, although filming interiors in a submarine takes care of atmosphere by default. The main problem is in cultivating personalities for 12 characters in the midst of such a high-concept, hightension storyline. Most of the Russians are vaguely sinister shades, and the Brits boil down to: the Indispensable Psycho (the great Ben Mendelsohn); the Level Head (Michael Smiley); and the Unfortunate Newbie (Bobby Schofield), whose mere continued on next page

presence causes no end of trouble. Somewhere along the line, Robinson remakes himself as a wild-eyed class warrior, bent on the idea that salvaging this gold will let Us put a thumb in the eye of Them. By the end, the movie strays from its initial genre path, losing most of its momentum in the process. The idea of interjecting some social commentary is commendable, but that thread, like most of the characters, isn’t sufficiently developed to work. R. 114m. JUPITER ASCENDING. Speaking of things that don’t particularly work, here’s the latest dazzling dud from the siblings Wachowski. By way of admitting bias, I like Bound (1996) and The Matrix (1999); both are clever, stylish, ambitious approaches to different genre movies. Since then, though, the Wachowskis have repeatedly indulged their penchant for overinflated philosophical nonsense, gigantic digital canvasses and general silliness. Of which this is perhaps the most pointed example. Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), the daughter of a Russian woman and a British astronomer who’s murdered before her birth, cleans apartments in Chicago. She lives with her mother and her extended family in an inelegantly reinvented Cinderella scenario. Because she really wants to buy an expensive telescope on eBay, she lets a cousin convince her to sell her eggs to a fertility clinic. But in the middle of the procedure, things turn sinister and the doctor, really a disguised ne’er do well, tries to kill her. To the rescue comes Caine Wise (Channing Tatum), an outer-spacewolfman bounty hunter in hover boots. As it would happen, there’s a bounty on Jupiter’s unwitting head. She is of great value to the three remaining siblings from a dynasty of gene-harvesting weirdoes (like Caine, they’re also from outer space). The fate of humanity is at stake, Jupiter and Caine get into a whole “will they or won’t they,” and Sean Bean plays a commando who worships bees. As primary bad guy Balem Abrasax, Eddie Redmayne may be the most interesting part of the show, playing it like a glam-rock vampire with a vocal cord condition. In terms of plot and characterization, Jupiter is an abject disaster. It is characterized, though, by impressive leaps of imagination, gorgeous backdrops and spectacular visual effects. Wachowskis!

“

hard man is good to find,” goes the saying. Hardness, in this case, results from blood flowing into and engorging the spongy tissue of the penis: the more blood flow, the harder the erection. And increased blood flow comes about by relaxing blood vessels in the penis, a process known as vasodilation. The trigger, always, is an aroused brain, which sends the rather unsexy signal to the penis, “Release nitric oxide!” That activates an enzyme which causes increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), a messenger molecule that causes the muscles in the penis to relax, thus increasing blood flow, et voilà, an erection — everything else being equal. (If this sounds complicated, it is; three Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1998 to the researchers who figured out the complete mechanism of vasodilation.) Everything else isn’t always equal, however. The “good” cGMP (from the point of view of a guy hoping for an erection) can be rapidly degraded by the “bad” enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), resulting in the erection signal from the brain being stopped in its tracks, to a greater or lesser extent. Greater, in this case, goes by the name of erectile dysfunction (ED), when the man isn’t hard enough for intercourse, no matter how excited he feels. Physical causes of ED include heart disease, diabetes, side effects of drugs, neurological problems resulting from prostate surgery, and — most commonly — aging. So the trick to counter complete or partial ED is to minimize the effect of PDE5 with (duh) PDE5 inhibitors. These include sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra), three of the most financially successful drugs ever. Viagra, the

first to be patented and marketed, was discovered by pure serendipity. The drug company Pfizer was studying what was then known as “UK92480” at its British facility in Kent (my home county) in the 1980s, hoping to find a treatment for angina (chest pain caused by constricted arteries of the heart). The drug didn’t do much to counter angina, but had the unexpected side effect of dilating blood vessels in the penis (as male test subjects happily reported) — and thus was the “little blue pill” born. The FDA approved UK92480, now named Viagra, in 1998, and the boom was on, with help from an advertising campaign whose aging shills included Bob Dole and soccer star Pelé. Today, annual worldwide sales of the drug are around $2 billion, with stiff competition, so to speak, from Cialis and Levitra, not to mention copycat pills and supposedly equivalent herbal analogs. Since the Dole-Pelé endorsements, Pfizer’s marketing approach has changed to appeal to younger men. According to a 2013 report in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, 25 percent of males now seeking medical treatment for ED are under 40. In addition, Gen Xers and younger are taking Viagra for what’s called, in medicalese, “recreational use” (isn’t it all recreational?), since the drug reduces something that goes by the coy name of “postejaculatory refractory time.” In any case, Pfizer and the other manufacturers of PDE5 inhibitors had better come up with a new audience fast, since their patents are about to expire. A generic version of Viagra will be available in two years’ time; no word yet on what color it will be. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) believes, along with just about everyone who’s thought about it, that the brain is the most important sex organ.
