RARE AND BEAUTIFUL FRIEND 

I met Gina Zamparelli at 

Rosemont Junior High School when 

we were 14. We met first in gym 

class, when no one wanted to pick 

the two “weird” artistic girls for the 

basketball team. I met her again 

that same year when she and our 

friend Kyle spent an entire semester 

giggling through art class. But the 

most vivid early memory I have of 

Gina was seeing her walk through 

the quad at school. In those days (when most of us were 

wearing bell bottoms, flannel shirts and immense teenage 

awkwardness) Gina walked in wearing a smart turquoiseand-white-checked 

pantsuit, one-inch magenta fingernails, 

and waist-length jet black hair parted in the middle. As 

I stood in awe watching her come towards me I clearly 

remember thinking how much I wanted to be HER best 

friend. That is what we had for the next 45 years. 

I was blessed with a unique childhood with Gina and her 

creative family. For one thing, there was that sleek, architect 

designed house — the first I ever visited and so different 

from the ’30s era English Tudor I was being raised in. Then 

there was Gina’s super hip and beautiful mom Neliya, who 

always had something delicious (and often ridiculously 

spicy) cooking on the stove that she’d dish up — along 

with a big helping of kind advice on how to survive being a 

teenager. 

When Gina and I became obsessed with modern dance 

and rock music, her mom became our first dance teacher. 

I also remember her dad picking me up in his big Cadillac 

and engaging me in deep conversations (way over my head) 

about the infinite colors of the sky and why it was important 

to notice details about what is happening around you. For 

some reason, Gina’s two 

exceptional sisters Andrea 

and Marisa always liked me, 

an experience far different 

than what was going on with 

my own three siblings at that 

time. Dinner at Gina’s house 

was an event filled with 

really good food and people 

talking at once, shouting 

occasionally, and getting up 

in the middle of everything 

to hug each other. I used 

to tell Gina I loved to go 

to her house for dinner 

because people had lots of 

feelings they actually talked 

about. Gina used to say that 

she loved coming to my 

house because we had polite 

dinner conversation and she 

got to eat her own food. 

We showed up wearing 

the same clothes in the 

same color, had the same 

interests, and finished each 

other’s sentences so often 

that Gina referred to us as 

the “Bobbsey Twins.” This 

“sameness” included some 

sad events years later, like 

the fact that we both lost a 

sibling tragically. We picked 

up our friendship whenever 

we could. She taught me 

how to drive in her orange 

Datsun 240Z, and was a 

bridesmaid at my wedding. I 

was there for the beginning 

of her career and a few of 

her memorable concerts 

at Odd Fellows Hall and 

Perkins Palace. I found 

my career and became a 

mother. She expanded her 

concert promotion career 

and became a historic 

preservation activist fighting 

to save the Raymond 

Theatre. Sometimes we did 

not see each often. Yet when 

we did meet the connection 

we had was always there. 

Many of her friends (and 

Gina had hundreds and 

hundreds of friends and 

colleagues) mention this 

quality. When she was with 

you, she was totally there. 

Gina always had 

a staggering load of 

commitments and long 

working hours. As we 

got older, I began to 

encourage her to hire an 

assistant but she always 

said no. Now I think that 

I did not fully understand 

how Gina’s personal 

commitment to projects and 

people meant everything 

to her. If I could sum up 

Gina’s career and her life 

in one sentence I would 

say that Gina was a kind 

person in an often unkind 

business. In her last days, 

as that horrible cancer was 

taking her away from us, 

she said two final things to 

me that were typical of our 

friendship. The first was: “I 

want to buy your lunch” (an 

ongoing argument between 

us), and the second was 

to ask about my daughter 

(another memorable 

Taurus). 

Since we laid her to 

rest last Saturday, I have 

struggled with regret that 

I could not bring myself 

to eloquently express 

all of these things at her 

memorial. The heartbreak 

was just too great for 

the words to come. In 

this I think I was not the 

only one. To my rare and 

beautiful friend Gina, I 

cannot say enough how 

much I (we) will miss you!

HOMELESS NUMBERS SOAR 

PASADENA COUNCIL DRAGS ITS HEELS DESPITE COMMUNITY 

DEMANDS FOR HOMELESS HOUSING 

6 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.28.18 

I 

appreciate your running a news brief about the homelessness crisis in Pasadena and 

the grievous decision on the part of Pasadena City Council to give away to another 

city over $470,000 slated for homeless housing in Pasadena (“Looming Senior 

Crisis,” June 12), but I’d like to clarify some points that were unclear in the article. 

First, the property known as Heritage Square South was part of a larger parcel 

that was purchased by the city 14 years ago with HUD and other funds for affordable 

housing. The northern half of the property was developed for affordable senior 

housing and now houses 70 seniors, but the southern half was left vacant for political 

reasons. Some council members wanted to sell it to a commercial developer even 

though that meant forfeiting $1.3 million in HUD funding. 

At the beginning of 2018, Vice Mayor John Kennedy (in whose district the property 

is located) asked the Housing Department to research nine options for using the 

property. These options were presented to the City Council on Feb. 5, with housing 

homeless seniors recommended as the best use of the property. (Obviously, the worst 

option would be to sell the land to a commercial developer at a huge financial loss.) 

Even though Pasadena is facing an escalating homelessness crisis, with a 65 

percent increase in the number of homeless seniors over the last three years, the 

council could not decide whether to sell this affordable housing asset to a commercial 

developer or let it be used for homeless housing. The council asked a subcommittee 

of the City Council called Ed Tech (Economic Development and Technology) to study 

this issue, make a recommendation and return it to the City Council within three 

months. Despite the urgent need, Ed Tech has not had a public discussion of this 

property during the past five months. 

During this period, a survey was made of the neighbors near this property and 80 

percent want it used for homeless housing. A growing consensus of religious leaders 

and homeless service providers have signed petitions and written letters urging the 

City Council to use Heritage Square South for homeless housing. In many areas of 

Los Angeles and elsewhere NIMBYs (“Not in my backyard”) are making it hard to 

get approvals for such land use. But Pasadena is facing the opposite problem. The 

neighbors overwhelming want this housing on South Heritage Square. 

The only resistance has come from the City Council, which has not funded a single 

homeless housing project in three years. According to the 2018 Homeless Count, lack 

of permanent supportive affordable housing is a major reason why our city’s homeless 

count has skyrocketed. 

That’s why many people of faith and of conscience believe that our city is facing 

not only a homelessness crisis, but a moral crisis. I hope this clarifies why there 

have been two prayer vigils on this site and why the religious community of our city 

is urging the City Council to take immediate action to house our homeless seniors. 

As religious leaders in our city wrote in an open letter on June 6 that appeared in 

Pasadena Now: “We are fighting desperately to convince the city to designate one 

location for housing 68 homeless seniors. This is a huge battle, and it really shouldn’t 

be. In the words of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, ‘This is no time for neutrality.’ No 

more commissions, studies, task-forces or empty promises.” ■

BUYER BEWARE 

CALTRANS TENANTS LEARN THEY CAN’T BUILD EQUITY IF THEY BUY STATE-OWNED HOMES 

BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN 

After waiting to buy houses seized by Caltrans nearly six 

decades ago to make way for a freeway extension that was 

ultimately scuttled, longtime residents of those homes received 

some bad news this month. 

People who decide to buy under a plan engineered by the state 

Legislature will not receive the equity on those homes if they sell 

them. Furthermore, those homes will not stay in a family upon 

death of the owner, according to local Attorney Chris Sutton. 

“No matter what price they pay, the tenants don’t get the 

equity,” Sutton said.

However, buyers do get the original purchase funds back if 

they sell. If a buyer sells the house one year after the purchase, 

the buyer would only receive the amount they paid to purchase 

the home. In the second year, the owner would receive the 

purchase amount and 20 percent of the property’s appreciation. 

After five years, the owner would receive 100 percent of the 

appreciation of the home on top of purchase price if they sell the 

house at market value. The rest of the money would go to the 

California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA).

ALHAMBRA TREE ORDINANCE 

NOT TOUGH ENOUGH, CRITICS 

CLAIM 

Almost a year after being mocked by its critics, 

the Alhambra City Council conducted the first 

reading of an ordinance that would prohibit 

removal of any oak or native tree that is taller 

than 15 feet, wider than 12 inches in diameter 

or 36 inches in circumference. 

In addition, a permit would be required to 

remove any non-native tree that’s taller than 19 

feet and wider than 24 inches in diameter or 75 

inches in circumference. 

“I have to emphasize how huge of a step 

this is for the city to be considering this, going 

from zero to something on our books that 

covers all the industrial zones, all the commercial 

districts,” said Mayor Jeff Maloney. 

The ordinance also applies to most residential 

districts. 

The ordinance will come back to the council 

for a second reading and final approval at a 

future council meeting. 

Several residents favored the new law, but 

some said it didn’t go far enough. 

“There are lots of loopholes about the 

ordinance as I understand it, and it has minimal 

teeth,” said Melissa Michelson, who helped 

organize a rally to save 268 trees last which 

were ultimately uprooted. “I’m unclear what the 

citation fee will be if someone removes a tree 

without going through the process because 

if it’s just $25 for the loss of a protected tree. 

That’s not a deterrent.” 

According to the ordinance, which currently 

does not include a schedule of fines or fees 

for felling protected trees, exceptions could be 

made if protected trees are designated for removal. 

The director of community development 

would then decide the issue. The ordinance also 

establishes an appeals process through the 

city’s Planning Commission and City Council. 

Violation of the ordinance could lead to a 

one-year building permit ban. 

In residential areas, the ordinance would 

only protect trees in front yards. Trees in backyards 

and on the sides of single building homes 

would be exempt. 

Last September, the Alhambra council 

voted to uproot 268 trees despite outcry from 

Michelson and other residents. After the vote, 

the group gathered near the cars of council 

members and continued a mock circus performance 

that had started in the council chambers. 

“The criteria for approving the permission 

process for removing perfectly healthy, mature 

and protected trees is unclear and I would like 

there to be an element of transparency about 

that application process,” Michelson said.

BRIEFS 

THE SHOW MUST GO ON 

BOMB THREAT FORCES EVACUATION OF 

GAY MEN’S CHORUS PERFORMANCE 


A bomb threat forced the cancellation of a performance 

in Glendale by the Gay Men’s Chorus on Saturday. 

About 600 people were told to exit the Alex Theatre 

during “The Pink Carpet: LGBTQ & The Silver Screen” 

after one song during the 2 p.m. matinee after the threat 

was called into the box office. 

The show was meant to highlight many of the iconic films that have depicted 

lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer culture, according to the group’s 

website. 

“Out of an abundance of caution, the theater has been evacuated,” stated a 

post on the group’s Facebook page. “In our near 40 year history we do not believe 

this has happened until today. Everyone is safe. WE WILL NOT BE DETERRED.” 

According to TMZ, police cordoned off the block and used police dogs to help 

in the search for weapons and explosives. No suspicious devices were found. 

The 2 p.m. show was cancelled while police searched the area, but an 8 p.m. 

performance and two shows on Sunday went on without any problems. 

In a prepared statement, Jonathan Weedman, executive director of the Gay 

Men’s Chorus Los Angeles, said the group never considered cancelling the 

remainder of the shows. 

“That would have been unthinkable. And while everyone was tired and still 

dealing with what happened the day before; the chorus returned to perform 

the Sunday matinee performance, which received a standing ovation at its 

conclusion. Whatever the origins of this bomb threat, as an LGBT organization, 

it would be naïve to discount the possibility it was not motivated by hate. 

Hate has been emboldened and tolerated in our nation over the last two years 

at a level we have never seen, particularly against people of color, women and 

diverse communities.” 

One man told the Los Angeles Blade, a news source for Los Angeles’ LGBT 

community, that he noticed a man who seemed to be enjoying the disruption. 

“We saw a very suspicious man in his late 20s come out of the theater, skinny, 

I would say 5-10 or 5-11, wearing a white T-shirt, black jeans. He stood there in 

front of that restaurant, staring at the whole crowd then went down the street and 

stared again. Then security came out and he left,” said Mark Jackson, a volunteer 

with the chorus. 

“I told the cops about this and they said, ‘No, he came from inside the theater,’ 

but to me he looked like someone who was enjoying the chaos he created. He 

looked not healthy, he looked weird,” Jackson said. n 

SUN SETS ON LOCAL MUSEUM 

PASADENA MUSEUM OF CALIFORNIA 

ART TO CLOSE IN OCTOBER 


The Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA) 

announced it will close its doors this fall. 

The museum will cease to operate on Oct. 7, after its 

current exhibitions “Chicago’s Birth Project,” “Exploring 

Jonathan Weedman 

California” and “Strata” end. 

“The board of directors would like to thank all of Susana Smith Bautista 

the donors, contributors, lenders, museum members, 

and especially our hard working, dedicated staff who have made this wonderful 

adventure possible,” said Jim Crawford who serves as the PMCA board chairman. 

According to the museum’s website, on June 18 Crawford recommended 

that the museum close its doors after the exhibition ends after the board voted to 

shutter the museum. 

PMCA Executive Director Susana Smith Bautista informed the museum staff 

and made the public announcement. 

No reason was given for the shutdown. 

Longtime Pasadena residents Bob and Arlene Oltman founded the nonprofit 

museum in 2002. The art lovers collected California art for two decades. 

The idea for the museum began in 1999 when the couple began talking about 

creating a small gallery space that would exhibit the work of the state’s artists. 

Founding Director Wesley Jessup decided to broaden the initial vision into a 

larger museum whose mission would also encompass showcasing design and 

architecture. 

The museum’s mission is to elevate California art and design through 

exhibitions that explore the cultural dynamics and influences that are unique 

to the state. California art has long been defined by a spirit of freedom and 

experimentation, according to the PMCA website. The museum’s exhibitions and 

educational programs explore the ways California’s distinct perspectives and 

customs have shaped and defined art in all media. 

The museum celebrates old school artists inspired by the region’s mountains 

and deserts — as well as today’s artists who use the PMCA’s building as a canvas. 

As a non-collecting institution, the museum develops temporary exhibitions with 

independent curators, which allows for flexible and dynamic programming. n 

BUYER BEWARE 

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 

for $200,000, the buyer would get a loan for the 

$200,000, but a $400,000 lien would go to CHFA, 

who would get the equity if the property were sold. 

Any money produced as part of the sales would 

be spent by CHFA in Pasadena, South Pasadena, 

part of Los Angeles, Alhambra and La Cañada 

Flintridge for affordable housing projects. 

According to Sutton, the potential buyers were 

bamboozled by a once supportive bill authored by 

former state Sen. Carol Liu, D-La Cañada Flintridge, 

which changed the way the houses were sold. 

Under the original bill authored by Liu, which 

the tenants endorsed, at the end of the 30 years 

the owner would get the full equity in the house. In 

addition, heirs could step in upon an owner’s death 

and continue to own the home. 

But according to Sutton, Liu’s bill was changed 

during the legislative process and heirs must now 

reapply to qualify for the affordable purchasing 

program. If they don’t qualify, the home would be 

sold. 

“The governor would not agree to it, because it 

was too much of a giveaway,” Sutton said of Liu’s 

original bill. “If the tenants knew it was going to 

end up like this, they would have opposed it.” 

Sixteen tenants have applied to purchase 

the Caltrans homes they are living in under the 

affordable purchase program. Three of those 

candidates did not qualify. 

Eight others have agreed to buy their homes 

from Caltrans under an inflation adjusted sales 

price. Under that process, Caltrans added decades 

of inflation onto the price of the houses based on 

the Consumer Price Index, even though the CPI 

is not used in real estate. Lauren Wonder, chief of 

the Office of Public Affairs and Media Relations 

for Caltrans District 7 in Los Angeles, said she 

assumed that prices were adjusted by Caltrans “to 

be fair to the public funds that we used to buy the 

homes.” 

Sutton said those eight families agreed to buy 

the homes at the inflated prices because they 

wanted to get on with their lives. 

“They went out and found the extra money so 

they could get away from Caltrans forever,” he said. 

The five remaining tenants have filed a lawsuit 

against Caltrans, claiming Caltrans tried to raise 

their rent and the price of their homes illegally. 

Sutton is representing those five families in their 

lawsuit. 

This is not the first setback for tenants living in 

many of the nearly 500 homes in Pasadena, South 

Pasadena and the Los Angeles neighborhood of 

El Sereno that were seized by Caltrans through 

eminent domain in the early 1960s to make way for 

an extension of the Long Beach (710) Freeway to 

connect with the Foothill (210) Freeway. 

The California state auditor found that between 

July 2007 and December 2011 Caltrans, which did 

not verify the eligibility of tenants to be charged 

below-market rate rents, collected $12.8 million 

in rent but lost $22 million due to underpayment

by ineligible tenants. During most of that period, 

Caltrans reportedly paid out another $22.5 million 

for questionable repairs and spent an average 

of $6.4 million per year on property repairs but 

could not demonstrate that repairs for 18 of the 30 

projects reviewed by auditors were reasonable or 

even necessary. 

Six months after the audit’s release, Caltrans 

began increasing rents by 10 percent every six 

months, until people were paying market-value 

rents on the homes. 

The rent increases have left some families 

unable to afford the homes they were living in. 

In 2012, after the surface option for the freeway 

extension was taken off the table, The LA County 

Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and 

Caltrans officials announced they wanted to build 

either a six-lane highway along portions of West 

Pasadena or a 6.3-mile tunnel from the end of the 

710 Freeway in Alhambra to Pasadena, but those 

ideas were also eventually nixed. 

In September 2016, Caltrans announced its 

intention to finally sell the homes starting with 

42 properties going up for sale in 2017. Caltrans 

announced the agency would retain an easement to 

the property underneath the homes. 

The homes are being sold under three phases. 

Phase 1 includes the sale of 42 homes and 11 vacant 

lots that are not within the scope of the remaining 

project alternatives. In Phase 2, Caltrans will make 

a decision to sell some of the other properties 

that fall within the scope of the proposed project. 

Remaining properties deemed as surplus after the 

project is either built or formally denied will be sold 

as part of Phase 3. 

“It’s just cruel,” Sutton said. “It stops people 

from buying the homes they have lived in all of their 

lives. It’s unclear if CFHA even knows Caltrans is 

using inflation to raise the price.” n

Ever since exploding onto National Public Radio 

in 1992, when the show “This American 

Life” broadcast him reading his essay “SantaLand 

Diaries,” about his 45 mortifying days 

working as a Christmas-season elf in a department 

store, David Sedaris has become perhaps 

the most popular humorist of our time. 

He has since written six smash-hit essay collections, 

including “Naked,” “Me Talk Pretty One 

Day” and “When You Are Engulfed in Flames,” 

as well as the recently released “Calypso,” while 

traveling the world, giving lectures and conducting 

book signings for his ardent international fan 

base. 

Sedaris will be coming to Vroman’s Bookstore 

in Pasadena on Thursday, June 28, to read 

from and sign “Calypso,” and people should be 

prepared to spend the whole evening at the store, 

since Sedaris is famous for signing until 2 a.m. 

due to his highly personal connections with his 

fans. 

In this exclusive interview, the London-based 

Sedaris discusses how he draws the line on what 

to expose about his life and his family, how to 

keep his writing honest even after becoming rich

KEEPING IT REAL WITH ‘CALYPSO’ AUTHOR 

DAVID SEDARIS AT VROMAN’S BOOKSTORE 


Pasadena Weekly: Your new book ‘Calypso’ 

is still funny as ever, but you really touch on 

some dark subjects, like the suicide of one of 

your sisters. How do you find the way to make 

tragedies like that touching yet funny? 

David Sedaris: I need the laugh. That’s part of 

it for me. I write about things that are horrible. 

It’s not that I want the laughs. I need them. I’m 

trying to work those in any way I can. Not gratuitously. 

Even writing a story about my sister’s 

suicide, I want laughs. I wouldn’t be able to sit 

in a theater and listen to nothing, the sound of 

people shifting in their seats or coughing. 

I imagine your family and your husband Hugh 

are used to you writing about them now, but did 

you have a hard time navigating what’s acceptable 

to share and what’s too much? 

You assume there are certain things people 

don’t want written about and I’m usually right 

about that. Sometimes it’s a surprise, like 

someone saying, ‘I don’t want people to know I 

worked there,’ things you wouldn’t expect. And 

I understand that. Or if they said something 

bad about someone else and want it out, and I 

understand that. Someone last night at a Q&A 



DANCING IN THE DARK 


said, ‘Oh, my God, the things you say about Hugh, and I said, ‘What did I say? I wrote that 

I fell off a ladder, and he asked, ‘Why are you wearing those pants?’ That’s not scandalous. 

I think it just gives the illusion that people think they know all about him. But do you 

know what he looks like naked? Do you know what the last time he cried was? Do you 

know what he dislikes? No you don’t, but because you know he doesn’t like my pants, you 

think you know him. 

Since breaking out in ‘Naked’ in 1997, there’s been a sea change in how much people share 

about their lives on social media. At the time, it seemed crazy and daring that you shared 

so much about your life, but now it seems more daring not to share. What do you think 

about those changes? 

I think I see a difference between posting a nude photo of yourself and writing a comic 

essay about something that happened to you. There’s a trend to expose yourself for fame. 

I don’t know; I guess I just saw myself more in a tradition of comic writers writing about 

their lives. You can go all the way back to James Thurber for that. I looked at that differently 

than people who keep a diary about their lives online for people to read it. I would 

NEVER do that, because I don’t think people would find that interesting. The majority of 

stuff that happens to me is really boring or something I don’t know anybody would care 

to relate to. I give the illusion of exposing myself. To me the most revealing thing one can 

know about a person, and the reason I would die if people read my diary while I’m alive, 

is that they would know who I dislike. I don’t mean the president; that’s pretty easy. But 

on a day to day basis they would know who’s gotten to me, and that would make me feel 

exposed. 

What prompted the move to be overseas and how are your perceptions of the current 

state of America? Do people say, ‘Oh, my God, what’s going on over there?’ Or do you not 

really notice since you’re away? 

I feel as if Brexit hadn’t happened, I was just going to leave the US for a year, then 

Hugh and I moved into France and eventually it turned to 18 years. We got a place in 

London at some point. England just seemed to say, ‘Oh, we’ll scoot down and make room 

for you. You can be on the BBC and write for the newspaper.’ I was so flattered. I was 

never an Anglophile or a Francophile, either. I just sort of wound up there. I haven’t been 

to France in a while, but I’m going in July and I imagine I’ll hear a lot about what kind of 

idiot are you to have Trump as president. 

In England it was Brexit, so what you hear instead is like, ‘Oh, that sucks, doesn’t 

it?’ because Brexit is like Trump. I feel like my Italian friends did while [former Prime 

Minister Silvio] Berlusconi was in power. They didn’t vote for him, but were embarrassed 

by him on a daily basis while he was in power. I’m on tour, on a lecture tour from April 

3 to May 25, and then I went home for three days. And then started my book tour, and a 

book tour is a lot more intense than a lecture tour. I’ve been out of the news, but it’s like 

the past three weeks I have no idea what’s going on in the world. Normally I am all over 

it, and I’ve got to say it feels almost great not to know what horrible thing is taking place 

today. I know it’s just a brief vacation. I’ll get back to it because I don’t want to be an 

ignorant person. 

What do you say to those who critique you, that they found you funnier writing about your 

poor days than your current success? 

I never read anything about myself, so I don’t know. Maybe they are saying that. Sometimes 

I write about the past and sometimes about the present, and I can always go back to 

that. It’s false to pretend not to live the life that I lead now. I interviewed an author a few 

years ago who had sold 15 million copies. I asked, ‘Do you like being rich?’ and he said, 

‘I’m not rich,’ and I said, ‘I know the math of how much you get for books.’ I asked if it was 

a big change for him, took a lot of getting used to? He denied it, and that seems false and 

unfair when there are so many people who really don’t have money. 

Don’t pretend. At the end of the day, I’m still me. When I come home from the book 

tour, I’m going to be on the side of the road for six to eight hours a day picking up trash, 

because I can’t not do that. I have this thing where I can’t walk by a piece of litter, so 

I have to be on the side of the road, dressed in rags, picking it up. I can be both those 

things, both those people. That’s always funny to me too. I remember taking a humor 

writing class when I first moved to New York and I said I liked Calvin Trillin. The teacher 

said, ‘Calvin Trillin? He has a house in Greenwich Village.’ I said, ‘Does that mean he’s not 

funny, or not a good writer?’ She was just jealous of him. I can pick up a pen and write 

about something that happened 40 years ago with all the struggle in it today. ■

HOMESTATE IS EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN A 

TEXAS KITCHEN, AND MORE 

BY MICHAEL SPRAGUE | PHOTOS BY DANNY LIAO 

There are few places better for a summer dining experience 

than HomeState: A Texas Kitchen. 

The Highland Park location, which opened in March, 

hosts an eclectic range of Tex-Mex options, a patio dining 

area, and a cocktail menu that won’t raise eyebrows if you 

order from it at 9 a.m. 

The moment you walk in you are greeted by the words 

“Welcome Home” in giant letters behind the bar, an ode to 

both Southern hospitality and their handmade flour tortillas. 

There is plenty to love about HomeState’s menu, but in 

terms of value and quality their tacos can’t be beat. 

At $3.50 each, they cost more than the average Los Angeles 

street taco, but HomeState offers a heftier and more flavorful 

variety. Their taco options are broken into two categories, 

“Anytime” and “Breakfast.” No need to beat the morning rush 

though, because their breakfast is served all day. 

Patrons can choose a flour tortilla which is made inhouse, 

or an organic corn tortilla. I went mid-day and tried a 

combination of both. All tacos come wrapped and labeled in 

foil, which helps out later if, like me, you order far more than 

you could reasonably eat in one sitting and must pretend you

NO PLACE LIKE HOME 


intended to take them to go in the first place. 

In the breakfast category, l went with “The 

Trinity” taco, an underwhelming mix of organic 

eggs, bacon, potato and cheddar. This was followed 

by the incredible “Blanco,” a vegetarian taco made 

with organic egg whites, mushrooms and Monterey 

jack cheese. 

The Blanco is a perfect example of less is more, 

with its three ingredients working harmoniously. 

For “Anytime” tacos, the potato, brisket and 

chicken are each cooked with different toppings — 

not just the one-size-fits-all cilantro and onions. 

The potato taco featured cheddar, sour cream, 

guacamole, cabbage slaw, pico de gallo and pickled 

jalapeño. It is much better than potato in a tortilla 

has any right to be, and if you have never tried a 

potato taco let that special first be with HomeState 

for under $4. 

The poster child of Tex-Mex and holy grail of the 

HomeState menu is their — cue drumroll — beef 

brisket. 

The brisket, which is roasted “low and slow” for 12 

hours, is flavorful and tender. The “Welcome Home” 

sign should probably read “Trust us, get the brisket” 

underneath it. While I wish I could have ordered 

a plate full of brisket on its own, it can be ordered 

several ways: A taco with guacamole and cabbage 

slaw, or a breakfast version called the “Pecos.” It can 

also be ordered in the Texas Toast sandwich($10), 

also with guacamole and slaw, served toasted only on 

the inside of the bread which gives a nice crunch and 

mix of textures. The brisket is also on the menu in the 

LoneStar Migas ($10), an egg scramble with crispy 

corn strips, onion, cheese and pico de gallo. For an 

optimal dining experience, I suggest ordering it in all 

of its offerings — it’s honestly that good. 

I can always appreciate the culinary fusion of 

different cultures, and what HomeState does well 

is take their Tex-Mex menu and leans into the LA 

way of doing things. While they boast the traditional 

Tex-Mex staples, they also have a range of vegetarian 

options. 

Even evident in their aesthetic, they mix the 

Tex-Mex roots with the Highland Park vibe and LA 

dining. The outside dining area is surrounded by red 

brick walls and a dirt floor that looks straight out 

of an old Western, with string lights hanging above 

wooden picnic tables and patio furniture. The music 

is an eclectic blend of classic country hits from 

artists like George Strait to Alabama Shakes’ blues 

rock. 

As far as alcohol goes, you can get a mimosa 

bucket ($28) or a more traditional Spicy Paloma 

($10). 

Their non-alcoholic beverages include a 

traditional Mexican Coke bottle ($3.50), cold-brew 

coffee and teas. 

Unlike their location in Los Feliz, HomeState’s 

new Highland Park location features alcoholic 

beverages and is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. every 

day. 

If you check out HomeState this summer don’t 

leave without trying one of their frozen margaritas 

($10), which are also available on the rocks. 

Although they just opened, the frozen margaritas 

seem to be the early favorite on Yelp. 

A variety of beers are also available, including 

La Lupulosa ($15), an American Style IPA made by 

Cerveceria Insurgente, a Tijuana-based brewery. 

HomeState has found a lifelong patron in me as 

long as they continue to have such affordable menu 

options and quality homemade ingredients. I highly 

recommend it this summer for indulging in a few 

tacos … or 10.

•CONSIDER THIS• 

BY ELLEN SNORTLAND 

IT’S NEVER 

TOO LATE 

To: Women and Girls 

From: Louis CK 

Dear Women and Girls, 

The last year since the exposure of my, er, exposure, has been a period of time in 

which I have ridden a rollercoaster of thoughts and feelings. And given the brutality 

shown by this administration via a kaleidoscope of horrors, including Third Reich-level 

callousness to immigrants and children, I can’t lie… I was hoping this ongoing nightmare 

might take some heat off me regarding my part in #metoo. Recognizing that makes 

it even more important that I finally “out” myself. 

I’m sure you can imagine the humiliation I experienced. I’ve studied up on so-called 

women’s issues. I now realize how many of you become masters of transcending daily 

indignities in order to simply function. 

After I admitted that I had asked women who either admired me or were beholden 

to me to “behold” my man parts, I spent months asking, “What am I missing? What am I 

missing?” I found that I’d been missing straight talk from women who weren’t afraid of 

me or who didn’t care what I could do or not do for their careers. I’m also “missing” out 

on the life experience of women and girls through the ages. 

I contacted a professor of women’s studies in cognito and asked her to send a reading 

list that might provide me with an understanding of why there is such a gender gap 

regarding power. I have been missing asking deep questions when it comes to the experience 

of women and girls “as lived.” I unconsciously bought the spin that women are by 

nature not actors and simply “acted” upon. 

I’d be a liar if I didn’t cop to my interest in women being real live humans if it weren’t 

for my own daughters. I want to prepare my daughters to run into men like me, or God 

forbid, men worse than I am. 

The professor (and I’ll leave her name out of it) recommended that I read the following 

and in this order: 

• “Vindication of the Rights of Women” — Mary Wollstonecraft 

• “A Century of Struggle?” — Elinor Flexner 

• “The Feminine Mystique” — Betty Friedan 

• “Sisterhood is Powerful: An Anthology of Writings from the Women’s Liberation 

Movement” — Edited by Robin Morgan 

• “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” — Maya Angelou 

• “Beyond Power” — Marilyn French 

• “This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color” 

• “Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions — Gloria Steinem 

• “When God Was a Woman” — Merlin Stone 

• “Refusing to Be a Man” — John Stoltenberg 

• “The Chalice and the Blade” — Riane Eisler 

• “The Alphabet vs. the Goddess” — Leonard Schlain 

I always thought that I was a progressive. After reading these 12 books, I find that 

I’m profoundly grateful to women’s strength, patience and, finally, calling our collective 

bluffs. #TimesUp couldn’t be more apt. 

I am now going to radically alter my relationship with gender. I was not only allowed 

but encouraged to be dismissive of women both as a group and as individuals. No more. 

To the women I stripped in front of: 

I am mortified that I hurt your feelings, betrayed your trust and created something 

in your mind’s eyes that you’ll never “unsee.” If you can possibly find it in your hearts to 

forgive me, please do so. And if you need something specific from me to heal, please let 

me know. You have my promise that I will NEVER degrade a woman again as long as I 

live. I also promise to give $1 million to at least one nonprofit that specifically empowers 

women and girls every year for the next 10 years. 

Even if I didn’t get naked in front of you personally, the way I have related to women 

up to this point has been “You’re all alike,” and I might as well have stripped in front of 

all you. I have — despite my persona of equality — behaved toward most of you like you 

are all interchangeable. 

I subscribed unconsciously to the Hollywood white male approach which is essentially: 

Go through women like tissues since they are flimsy, disposable and replaceable; 

just blow into them and discard. Again, that ends here and now. 

Sincerely, 

Louis CK 

Big reveal: Louis CK didn’t really write this! 

Obviously, this is the letter I would like to see him write and doubt I will. Hey, Louis 

CK! I have a couple of 501c3s you can contribute to. Also, I haven’t cut you out of my 

movie “Beauty Bites Beast” because I can’t afford to, and I’m holding out some hope that 

you might break yourself out of the pack and actually do a true and public apology. A 

bunch of us are rooting for you. ■

‘BUZZ’D’ ABOUT 

Pasadena-based game show wins top honor at Hollywood Fringe 

Festival 

The Pasadena-based game show “Buzz’d About” has 

built a following on the Arroyo Channel access network 

over the past six months. Producer Roe Moore and host 

Ben Benjamins took a chance on taking the show before a 

live audience at the Hollywood Fringe Fest this month, and 

the move has paid off with two major honors: a nomination 

for “Best Immersive Show” and winning the prestigious 

Producer’s Award. 

The interactive show, which builds on the long-running 

tradition of the Nickelodeon cable network game show 

“Double Dare,” is also receiving a coveted two-performance extension. “Buzz’d” will be 

performed at 9 p.m. July 6 and 7 p.m. July 8 at the StudioStage theater, 520 N. Western Ave., 

Los Angeles. Tickets are $15. Visit buzzdout.com/live. 

“The most surprising was to see how much the audience really enjoyed the challenges 

even watching, not being a participant,” says Moore. “They said it was something they want 

to come back to and have a new experience. It’s been wonderful bringing it live and inspiring 

us to package this and go into it with the live show. We’re super ecstatic to see crowds 

so into the game and it’s an honor to be nominated and recognized from a community of 

not just theatergoers but theater creators. It’s a non-traditional presentation and to be 

recognized in the way that they have is an honor.”

Community celebrates grand reopening of hot meals program 

The Pasadena Hot Meals Program was scheduled to 

celebrate its grand reopening earlier this week. 

The program temporarily shut down for five months due 

to remodeling at the Jackie Robinson Center, 1020 N. Fair 

Oaks Ave., Pasadena. 

The group will serve ribs, hotdogs and plenty of healthy 

foods, according to Robin Salzer, owner of Robin’s Woodfire 

BBQ in Pasadena. 

Over the past seven years Salzer has served more than 

125,000 free hot meals on Wednesday nights. 

The program started as a collaboration between Salzer 

and Walter Jackson, who spent years delivering meals to the homebound. Jackson died in 

February 2016. 

Since the program began city officials and local business people have served food to the 

needy. 

According to the most recent count, homelessness increased last year, with the city 

facing a 65 percent increase in senior homelessness over the past three years. (See related 

story on page 6.) 

HEALTHY HOMES 

Successful Home Tour for Altadena Guild for Huntington Hospital 

The Altadena Guild for Huntington Hospital, a local 

nonprofit dedicated to supporting the mission of Huntington 

Hospital and the Huntington Medical Research Institute 

(HMRI), held its annual Home Tour May 6 on Pepper Drive 

in Altadena. 

Visitors had the opportunity to view five beautiful homes 

and gardens as well as enjoy the talent of folkloric dancers 

and purchase handcrafted items from over 20 vendors. This 

was the 67th Home Tour sponsored by the organization and 

it grossed over $100,000. Proceeds from the event supported 

programs at Huntington Hospital and HMRI. n 



•ADVICE• 

BY PATTI CARMALT-VENER 

ONE OF 

A KIND 

PURSUE PASSIONS THAT DON’T 

INVOLVE COMPARISONS TO OTHERS 

Dear Patti, 

I have a twin brother who is wonderful at everything he does. We’re 15 and 

already Mason is accomplished at athletics, art, music and academics. Due to his 

academic abilities, he was put up a year ahead. I also think it was done to give 

us a chance to grow individually. Whenever I’d get new teachers at the beginning 

of the year, they’d look at me with interest, thinking they had another exceptional 

student. Eventually, though, their interest would fade since I’d perform at only an 

average level. 

Not only is Mason funny and popular but he’s also kind and nice to everybody, 

especially me. I wasn’t going to the last school dance of the year. It’s hard to trust 

girls at social occasions because too often they’re only nice for the opportunity to 

get to know my brother. Mason surprised me by taking his money from his parttime 

job and buying me a new suit for the dance. Who does that? I can’t even hate 

him. 

Both my parents and Mason are supportive and empathic but sometimes that 

makes the situation even worse. I feel like I let them all down. My grandpa, who 

lives with us, says I sound whiny. Lately I’ve just been trying to keep my feelings to 

myself. No matter what I know, Mason knows more. 

Everywhere we go, everybody instantly likes him. I, on the other hand, am always 

invisible. I try to get people to like me but it never seems to work out. It’s not 

that I’m introverted. I like people but I don’t seem to get anyone to like me in return. 

I’m wondering if I’m getting depressed. 

— Logan 

Dear Logan, 

I’m concerned you might have a “story” or “false life belief” established in your mind; 

specifically, that people find Mason interesting and find you boring. You’ve labeled 

yourself as unattractive to others. Be careful. It’s psychologically dangerous to rigidly 

pigeonhole yourself in such a way. This can be a response to childhood trauma. Sometimes 

when a person repeatedly has negative experiences, she or he tends to believe 

it always has to be that way. It doesn’t. It must have been extremely difficult and even 

shaming to watch Mason excel, even to the point of skipping a grade ahead of you. I 

recommend individual counseling where you can get help with your possible mood disorder 

as well as challenge any self-destructive ideas before they become an unrelenting 

part of your personal belief system. 

Let’s say, for instance, a girl your age approaches you. You don’t have to do anything 

special — just be fully present and available. Encourage her through warm smiles and 

nods that communicate you’re involved and interested in what she has to say instead of 

immediately assuming she has a sinister ulterior motive. Are you relaxed or defensive 

and tense? Are you warm and approachable or do you appear distracted, detached or 

indifferent? Get rid of all communication shut-downs like being aloof or unresponsive. 

Learn to be a good listener where people experience being understood by you. Ask others 

about themselves. Learning to tune into other people can be a powerful discovery. 

Some people — like Mason — may have a natural talent for creating rapport with 

anyone they meet, but it’s also something you can learn in your own manner and fitting 

your personality. Instead of concentrating on him, focus on you. Become the person you 

want to be that has nothing to do with anyone else. I’m concerned that as long as you 

have Mason to compare yourself to, you have a reason to give up and not try anymore. 

Seek out others with common interests, similar opinions and ways of doing things. 

Remember, there are people out there with a desire to connect, to see you as you really 

are and to be seen themselves. 

At only 15 you still have a lot to learn as well as a lifetime to discover your personal 

talents, interests and abilities to interact. It sounds like you have a destructive (your 

grandpa might even say annoying) habit of automatically comparing yourself to Mason 

and coming out second best. You’ve barely begun your life as an individual. You’re not 

just a twin or part of a family. Pursue passions that only you have an interest in and 

where there’ll be no comparisons. ■

20 FRESH TUNES AT 

SIERRA MADRE PLAYHOUSE 


Growing up in the small town of Wynne, Arkansas, Cori 

Gable Kidder dreamed of being an actress in musicals. 

She first gave New York City a shot by moving there in 

2011, but it was when she moved to Los Angeles in 2013 that 

her career really took off. As the star of the musical “Always… 

Patsy Cline” at the Sierra Madre Playhouse, she was nominated 

for a prestigious Ovation Award in 2015 thanks to her 

performing 27 classic tunes by the country singer. 

Now she’s back at the playhouse, with its current musical 

“Pump Boys and Dinettes,” which follows the musical 

adventures of a team of waitresses at a diner and the guys 

who work at the gas station across a North Carolina highway 

in the 1970s. The play had an improbable start in 1981, starting 

as a musical act at the country-themed Cattlemen’s Lounge in 

New York before becoming an off-Broadway show in 1981, and 

finally moving to Broadway in 1982. 

Unlike the two-woman tour de force of “Always,” in which 

Kidder sang Cline’s songs while another actress portraying

‘PUMP’ YOU UP 


her best friend recounted her life story, “Pump” has a 

full cast, with the added unusual touch of the “pump 

boys” actually playing the instruments for the production’s 

country-rock originals. This is the first time 

that “Pump” has been presented in a Los Angeles-area 

venue in 13 years, making it an even more special 

experience for Kidder. 

“It’s hard to compare the two shows because 

they’re so very different, but this is a more traditional 

musical with a larger ensemble,” says Kidder. “We’re 

all working together to make this thing happen. It’s 

definitely good to be part of a bigger team and be 

reminded of how many people it takes to really make 

a show successful. It’s wonderful to rely on these wonderful 

new friends.” 

Kidder plays Rhetta, one half of a waitress duo 

known as the Cupp Sisters, with Emily Kay Townsend 

as Prudie Cupp. The Pump Boys are Sean Paxton as 

L.M. (musical director/keyboards), Mike Murray as 

Jim (guitar), Jimmy Villaflor as Jackson (guitar), Kevin 

Tiernan as Eddie (bass), and Jim Miller as Bobby 

(drums). 

Critically acclaimed director/choreographer/ 

producer/actor/dancer Allison Bibicoff directs and 

choreographs, with a long list of credits, including 

“Around the World in 80 Days” at North Coast Rep. 

She has also directed the musicals “Oliver!,” “Tanglin’ 

Hearts,” “China- The Whole Enchilada;” “Smokey Joe’s 

Café,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Honky Tonk Angels,” 

“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” 

and “The Pajama Game,” among others. 

“There are 20 songs in the show, all original, so 

it’s not a jukebox musical, but there’s still not a lot of 

dialogue,” says Bibicoff, a Brooklyn native who has 

lived in LA since she was 7. “They’re country-pop, with 

the men singing, acting and playing on stage while the 

women sing and play percussion. 

“What makes it the most fun is the music and I’m 

not a country fan at all, so it’s a real pleasure,” Bibicoff 

continues. ”The biggest challenge is for me as a director 

I try to tell the story through the song, but they are 

tethered to their instruments so how do I tell the story 

while they’re constantly playing?” 

Bibicoff pulled it off by treating the show as if it 

was new in order to make it fresh for herself, then 

studied past productions “so we didn’t miss anything 

fabulous.” That’s music to the ears of Kidder, who 

launched her professional career in 2006 in regional 

theater before landing the national tour of the 1940sstyle 

big-band musical “In the Mood” as her first break. 

She also played the saloon owner of the Diamond 

Horseshoe Saloon at Tokyo Disneyland before moving 

to LA. 

“I wanted to start working locally and wasn’t having 

much luck in that department in upstate New York 

and Pennsylvania, wasn’t getting seen,” recalls Kidder. 

“I came here and it’s such a different world out here as 

far as auditioning goes. Less people, and just as much 

talent. There won’t be 500 girls at an audition, but all 

the girls there will be somebody to compete with. 

“Sierra Madre Playhouse is dedicated to quality 

theater and they really go out of their way to produce 

shows that their audience will identify with,” she 

adds. “They took a chance on me with Patsy Cline and 

without them I wouldn’t have the opportunities I have 

now. They consider talent and personality and work 

ethic, making sure you have good people to work with. 

It makes a difference in quality of a production, both 

onstage and backstage in rehearsal. “ n 

“Pump Boys and Dinettes” runs at 8 p.m. Fridays, 8 p.m. Saturdays 

and 2:30 p.m. Sundays through July 29 at the Sierra Madre Playhouse, 

87 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre. Tickets are $20 to 

$45. Call (626) 355-4318 or visit sierramadreplayhouse.org.

ROCKER WILLIE NILE CELEBRATES NEW ALBUM AND THE CATHARTIC JOYS 

OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL AT THE GRAMMY MUSEUM 

PHOTO: Cristina Arragoni 

Melting glaciers and rising 

tide levels, immigrants, 

political polarization, species 

extinction, Thoreau, and — of 

course — love are all cited and explored 

throughout veteran rocker 

Willie Nile’s forthcoming “Children 

of Paradise.” Yet the album sounds 

uncommonly upbeat, thanks to the 

classic rock ‘n’ roll virtues of big 

hooks, slamming drums, and loud, 

proud electric guitars. 

Although it won’t be officially 

released (on his own River House 

label) until July 27, the timely 

material is likely to dominate 

Nile’s performance at the Grammy 

Museum tonight, where he will 

also talk with Executive Director 

Scott Goldman. (Nile is appearing 

Saturday at McCabe’s in Santa 

Monica too.) 

With its tuneful evocation of 

a mythical place where “the old 

break free and the young still 

yearn,” and a “a boy with a fire 

in his belly” who’s “goin’ ’cross 

those borders,” the Springsteenian 

“Children of Paradise” could be 

taken as a reflection of current 

headlines. But it’s an old song, 

co-written with Martin Briley 

and inspired by director Marcel 

Carné’s 1943 film of the same 

name, ringing with power chords 

and a fervent belief in redemption. 

A similarly cathartic hopefulness 

imbues catchy rocker “All Dressed 

Up and No Place to Go” and “Gettin’ 

Ugly Out There,” which offsets 

the sadness of TV news images 

(“Saw a child refugee drowned on 

the seashore/ I had to turn it off 

I couldn’t take it anymore”) with 

the kind of melodic bounce that 

invites sing-alongs. 

It’s rare now that we hear 

earnest, irony-free music that 

seems to celebrate rock ‘n’ roll’s 

power to rouse and unite as much 

as the themes of individual songs. 

Is it old-fashioned? Maybe. But if 

it’s too much to believe that music 

can change a cynical world riven 

by tweet diplomacy, it takes little 

imagination to envision audiences 

of various generations swaying 

to unabashed valentine “Have I 

Ever Told You” or punching the air 

in time to “Don’t” (“Don’t let the 

fuckers kill your buzz”) and “Earth 

Blues,” which decries “chemical, 

physical, biological warfare” over 

urgent guitars and an “Another 

One Bites the Dust”-style beat. 

Lyrics are anything but subtle; true 

to the iconic rock ‘n’ roll he exalts, 

Nile sports convictions on his 

leathered sleeve. 

Nile’s covered substantial 

ground while earning his scars, 

not unlike the considerably 

more grizzled (and homeless) 

Greenwich Village subjects 

whose visages adorn the striking, 

black-and-white album art created 

by his partner, photographer 

Cristina Arrigoni. Consider this 

his declaration that he has too 

much to say to exit stage left any 

time soon. n 

Willie Nile performs at the Grammy 

Museum, 800 W. Olympic Blvd., Downtown

KIRA MORRISON BRINGS HER WINNING 

STYLE TO EDWIN MILLS 

San Fernando Valley native Kira Morrison, who will be performing Friday at Edwin 

Mills by Equator in Old Pasadena, is well on the way to establishing herself as a 

musical force. 

The singer-songwriter and guitarist follows influences from a diverse roster, 

including Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Theo Katzman and Ingrid Michaelson. While her 

sound is rooted in pop, the talented young artist also pulls elements of classic and 

modern rock, jazz, R&B and world music. 

Morrison has been singing and playing guitar since age 10 and released her debut 

EP, “Progressions” in 2014. She studied at the Silver Lake Conservatory of Music and 

is a recent graduate of Los Angeles College of Music. 

Morrison has already shared stages with artists including Aubrey Logan, Donny 

Most, Matt Bennett and Becky Martin.

TRAX BY BLISS 

ALI SHAHEED MUHAMMAD/ADRIAN 

YOUNGE, The Midnight Hour (Linear Labs): 

HHH½ 

Numerous friends grace A Tribe Called Quest’s 

Muhammad and beatmaker/producer Younge’s 

latest soul-jazz-hip-hop, Harlem Renaissanceinspired 

collaboration, from Bilal, CeeLo Green and 

Raphael Saadiq to ?uestlove and the late Luther 

Vandross. A radically re-orchestrated version 

of “So Amazing,” with strings and a slinky bass 

line cradling Vandross’ resurrected vocal, stands 

out; so do “Don’t Keep Me Waiting,” gorgeously 

intoned by UK soul singer Marsha Ambrosius, and 

funky instrumentals “Black Beacon” and “Redneph 

in B Minor,” all sounding (especially kick drums 

and vocals) as if recorded in an intimate nightclub. 

Tunes start bleeding into one another during 

midway through these 20 tracks, but their creative 

musicality’s refreshing. linearlabsmusic.com 

JEFFREY FOUCAULT, Blood Brothers (Tone 

Tree): HHHH 

A literate, witty craftsman, Foucault doesn’t make 

disposable music. Profound meaning’s mined 

from daily simplicities throughout this nicely paced 

set, notably with the gospel-swaying “Dishes,” 

tapedeck-referencing “Little Warble,” dreamy title 

track and sweetly fingerpicked “Pretty Hands.” 

Even seemingly lighthearted roadhouse rocker 

“War on the Radio,” its hooks bolstered by Bo 

Ramsey’s electric guitar and Eric Heywood’s pedal 

steel, wields words like blades honed on the flint 

of conscience: “There’s so many things to buy/ 

Desolation chief among them/ There’s so many 

ways to die/ We’re dying slow.” A worthy addition to 

a valuable body of work. jeffreyfoucault.com

DIALI CISSOKHO & KAIRA BA, Routes 

(Twelve/Eight): HHHH 

Kora maestro Cissokho recorded basic tracks with 

his Kaira Ba bandmates in his coastal hometown in 

Senegal, M’bour, then added various guests back 

home in North Carolina. Soulful B3 organ gives way 

to frenetic percussion during “Badima”; elsewhere, 

“Xarit” sweetly weaves kora and Tony Williamson’s 

mandolin, while Shana Tucker and Tamisha’s 

Waden’s layered vocals enhance the gospel-y pulse 

of Cissokho’s partly spoken “Story Song” and 

the moving “Saya,” shadowed sympathetically by 

Eric Heywood’s pedal steel. Bookending sounds 

of cicadas soothingly underscore natural bonds 

between continents and cultures. kairabamusic.com 

LEVI PARHAM, It’s All Good (Horton): 

HHH½ 

The Oklahoma singer-songwriter dials up the funk 

for this earthy set recorded in Muscle Shoals with 

some of Tulsa’s finest, including Jesse Aycock, 

Lauren Barth and John Fullbright. Parham’s 

raspy soul and the band’s jammy roadhouse feel 

(especially with “Badass Bob,” “Boxmeer Blues” 

and “Kiss Me in the Morning”) evoke ’70s rockers 

like The Band, Little Feat and Van Morrison. Parham 

tugs heartstrings with acoustic ballad “All the Ways 

I Feel for You,” but the album’s ear-pleasing appeal 

lies in its convivial tribal spirit. leviparham.com 

Big Fun 

THE ANDY T BAND AND ALABAMA MIKE WAIL AT BIG MAMA’S 

The Andy T Band, described as blues with a Nashville accent blended with San Francisco steam, rolls into Mama’s Rib Shack in 

Pasadena Saturday night, featuring Alabama Mike. 

Guitarist and band leader “Andy T” Talamantez hails from Los Angeles, but relocated to Nashville in 2008. Talamantez has 

been a working musician since his teens, performing part-time while working in the aerospace industry for more than 20 years. 

He took the plunge into full-time music in 1997 and never looked back. 

Talamantez spent a few years touring with Smokey Wilson and Guitar Shorty, as well as working internationally with various 

major blues acts. 

In 2011, he formed a band with blues artist Nick Nixon, performing for five years before Nixon’s retirement in 2016. Then, at 

the suggestion of a fellow blues artist, he was joined on vocals and harmonica by San Francisco’s “Alabama Mike” Benjamin, who 

was already enjoying success with his own career. 

In addition, guest guitarist and Texas native Anson Funderburgh is scheduled to perform Saturday night. Funderburgh produced 

three of the albums from Talamantez and Nixon’s previous band, and co-produced The Andy T Band’s latest disc, “Double 

Strike.” 

Visit andytband.com. — John Sollenberger 

Music starts at 8 p.m. Saturday at Big Mama’s Rib Shack, 1453 N. Lake Ave., Pasadena. Tickets are $12 to $50. Visit pasadenablues.com.

Fun on the Fourth 

AMERICAFEST IS JUST ONE OF THE FAMILY-FRIENDLY OPTIONS AVAILABLE ON AMERICA’S BIRTHDAY 


The Fourth of July is always an explosive time 

for family fun in the Pasadena area, but not just 

because of the fireworks lighting the skies. As 

always, towns throughout the San Gabriel Valley are 

going all-out to create a fun-filled celebration of our 

nation’s birthday, and we’re here to provide you a 

handy guide to find the fun in your area. 

First up, the biggest party in the Valley will take 

place at the Rose Bowl, when Americafest returns 

with the largest fireworks display in Southern 

California. While the pyrotechnics won’t go off until 

9 pm, the festivities will kick off at 2 pm, when a 

Family Fun Zone opens with plenty of food for all 

ages and games for the kids. 

A field viewing experience, enabling attendees to 

experience the hallowed turf of the Rose Bowl stadium 

field, begins at 5 pm, while entertainment including 

a military band and “American Idol” winner 

Maddie Poppe’s Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute 

and Sing-A-Long takes place starting at 7 p.m. Add 

in the fun of tailgating throughout the afternoon, 

and this is one all-American extravaganza that can’t 

be missed at a price that’s family-friendly at just $15 

to $30 per ticket. Visit ticketmaster.com. 

Of course, the biggest show of all on the 

Second, Third and Fourth of July is at the Hollywood 

Bowl, where LA’s all-time favorite girl group The Go- 

Gos return for a rare performance, bringing classic 

hits like “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “We Got the Beat,” 

“Vacation” and “Head Over Heels” roaring back to 

life before an incredible fireworks display. They will 

also be performing on Monday and Tuesday night. 

Visit hollywoodbowl.com. 

The Sierra Madre Fourth of July celebration 

is also jam-packed, offering two days of events. 

The 3rd of July Picnic, Concert and Beer Garden 

will thrill on Tuesday with dance-worthy music by 

Sierra Madre’s hometown heroes Groovy Lemon 

Pie, booze in the Friends of Sierra Madre Little 

League beer garden, and confetti eggs, bubble wrap 

fireworks, a dunk tank, and a fun zone for kids. 

The beer garden offers alcoholic drinks for $6 per 

ticket or four tickets for $20, from 5:30 to 9:30 pm, 

while Groovy Lemon Pie plays in the town’s band 

shell from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm, with bubble wrap 

fireworks taking place at 8 pm. 

On the 4th, the fun starts at 8 am with the Firecracker 

Fun Run, a Women’s Club Breakfast from 

8 to 10 am, the town parade from 10 am to noon, 

and a community picnic in Sierra Vista park from 

11 am to 3 pm, with music by Corey Gemme. For 

more information, visit sierramadrefourthofjuly. 

com. 

South Pasadena offers its own unique Independence 

Day fun with its Festival of Balloons Fourth 

of July Parade, starting at 10:30 a.m. at the South 

Pasadena Public Library, 1100 Oxley St., South 

Pasadena. 

Families interested in marching as part of the 

Summer Reading Program group in the parade 

should meet at 10:30 am on the Diamond Avenue side 

of the Library. Children are encouraged to walk for 

the Library in order to help motivate others to read. 

Marchers are encouraged to bring water bottles, 

sunscreen, wagons and strollers, but other wheeled 

vehicles are not permitted, and each child must be 

accompanied by an adult. 

Since Glendale does not ever have an official 

Fourth of July event, the other big option for the 

Jewel City’s residents aside from Americafest and 

the Hollywood Bowl is to explore the concert at 

Burbank’s Starlight Bowl, where the High Street 

Band will play music from the 1940s through the 

‘90s and Precious Byrd bringing funk sounds to the 

stage, all followed by a fireworks spectacular. Visit

CAPSULE REVIEWS 


TAG 

Stars: Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Hannibal 

Buress, Jon Hamm 

Length: 100 minutes 

Directed by: Jeff Tomsic 

Rating: R 

Obnoxious, unfunny and utterly tone-deaf, 

this action-comedy rooted in the true-life 

misadventures of several middle-aged men 

who have been playing the same elaborate, 

stunt-driven game of tag since childhood 

should have been hilarious. A sad waste of 

some great comic talent, undercut further by 

terribly expository writing . Grade:F 

HEARTS BEAT LOUD 

Stars: Nick Offerman, Kiersey Clemons, Ted 

Danson, Toni Colette 


Directed by: Brett Haley 

Rating: R 

A sweet story of a widower and his teenage 

daughter who create a hit song together just 

as she's about to go to a far-off college and 

have to decide whether to ride it out as a 

band or go their separate ways, this film is 

warm, human and touching - three qualities 

that are absent from most summer films. The 

song rocks and Haley films its creation in a 

breathtaking sequence. Grade:B

‘JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM’ STILL HAS THRILLS, BUT LOSES SOME FRESHNESS 

It’s been a full 25 years since the first “Jurassic Park” movie hit 

theaters, scaring up over a billion dollars at the worldwide box 

office while proving that director Steven Spielberg could scare 

moviegoers as much as any horror filmmaker. And with that kind of 

money pouring out from filmmakers, Hollywood just had to find new 

ways to keep dinosaurs rampaging in the modern world— yet its 

two initial sequels yielded vastly diminishing returns. 

But three years ago, a new series of dino-films came roaring back 

into theaters to bigger success than ever, thanks to the wise choice 

of hiring the unlikely new superstar Chris Pratt fresh off his global 

success with “Guardians of the Galaxy.” “Jurassic World” was a pure 

adrenaline rush, filled with laughs and a charismatic performance 

by Pratt as a daring yet compassionate trainer who had a preternatural 

rapport with the dinosaurs under his care at a resort island that 

brought humans and beasts together on safari-style vacations. 

Now the follow-up to that film is out, but the age of the series is 

starting to show as “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” is heavy on 

thrills, yet forgets to make viewers care much about the characters 

at its core. The first “World” had the advantage of introducing Owen 

and his unique skills to the world, as well as resort bureaucrat Claire 

(Bryce Dallas Howard), who went from by-the-books resort exec to 

rifle-toting badass over the course of the film. 

Now they’re back, but with their characters established, they 

fall victim less to dinosaurs than to sequelitis, in which follow-up 

films are almost inevitably weaker because they lack the element 

of discovery that draws viewers into the world of a film. Director 

J.A. Bayona has done some incredible films in the last few years 

with 2012’s “The Impossible” and 2016’s vastly underseen classic “A 

Monster Calls,” but his work is more serious-minded than the prior 

film’s Colin Trevorrow, who was making a go-for-broke jump into 

the mainstream after a career in indies. 

The latest “Jurassic” opens with a terrific action set piece in 

which a team of mercenaries swoop in via helicopter to an island 

overloaded with dinosaurs amid a raging storm in the dead of night. 

They are attempting to take as many types of dinosaurs off the 

island as possible and ostensibly to safety under the care of elderly 

industrialist Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell) who says that 

he wants to save them from imminent death by a volcano that’s 

about to explode. 

As they fly away with a beast in tow, a bigger monster than 

anyone has ever seen lurks under the ocean, not only swallowing an 

entire exploratory pod with two men inside but also leaping out of 

the water to eat another man dangling from a rope ladder after he 

believes he is off to safety. It’s a great start, but then we’re rushed 

through our first sightings of Owen and Claire and within minutes 

they are being led to believe they need to help get the last species off 

the island in order to save them at a new preserve that will protect 

them from humans forever. 

The problem is, they’re really being tricked into collecting the 

monsters so that they can be auctioned off to an array of evil zillionaires 

competing to have their own beasts they can exploit and 

clone for various industrial and military purposes. As Owen and 

Claire come to realize this agenda, their allegiance suddenly shifts 

to look out for the mostly vulnerable dinosaurs against ruthless 

humans. 

This creates an interesting dilemma, and the turning of the 

tables is fun as our heroes — who are also protecting Lockwood’s 

granddaughter from the rampaging creatures — find themselves 

torn between their higher natures of preserving as much life as 

possible and their own desperate self-preservation. They have to 

constantly decide which dinosaurs are safe to be around and which 

can destroy them. 

Bayona and writers Trevorrow and Derek Connolly also bring 

some new excitement into the mix by having the final dinosaur assaults 

happen within the confines of a giant, remote mansion. Thus, 

they create a hybrid of monster and haunted-house genres that is 

often grin-inducing and jaw-dropping at the same time. 

Overall, “Fallen” is a fun ride but not a truly resonant or memorable 

one. n 

“JURASSIC WORLD”: B 

AMERICAN ANIMALS 

Stars: Barry Keoghan, Evan Peters, Ann 

Dowd 


Directed by: Bart Layton 

Rating: R 

A gritty heist film based on the true story 

of four bumbling college students who tried 

to steal the world's rarest books from their 

school library, only to have fundamental 

planning go wrong. Director Layton adopts 

the unique trick of having the real-life robbers 

tell their actual story throughout the film, 

interspersed with the dramatized events to 

create a fascinating tale. Grade:A 

WON'T YOU BE MY 

NEIGHBOR? 

Stars: Fred Rogers, Joanne Rogers, 

Betty Aberlin 


Directed by: Morgan Neville 

Rating: PG-13 

This documentary on the life of TV legend 

Fred Rogers has a quiet power that 

sneaks up on viewers, as it reminds us 

that his seemingly simple "Mr. Rogers' 

Neighborhood" tackled heavy duty issues 

like war, divorce and racism. The fact that 

lifelong Republican minister Rogers helped 

push social progress is a touching reminder 

that we all need to work together to make the 

world a better place. Grade:A

JANE SANDS aka MARY J. SANDS 

aka MARY SANDS 

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been 

fi led by Alexandra Matejic in the Superior 

Court of California, County of 

LOS ANGELES. 

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests 

that Alexandra Matejic be appointed 

as personal representative to 

administer the estate of the decedent. 

THE PETITION requests authority 

to administer the estate under 

the Independent Administration of 

Estates Act. (This authority will allow 

the personal representative to 

take many actions without obtaining 

court approval. Before taking certain 

very important actions, however, 

the personal representative will be 

required to give notice to interested 

persons unless they have waived 

notice or consented to the proposed 

action.) The independent administration 

authority will be granted unless 

an interested person fi les an objection 

to the petition and shows good 

cause why the court should not grant 

the authority. 

A HEARING on the petition will be 

held on July 16, 2018 at 8:30 AM in 

Dept. No. 4 located at 111 N. Hill St., 

Los Angeles, CA 90012. 

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of 

the petition, you should appear at the 

hearing and state your objections or 

fi le written objections with the court 

before the hearing. Your appearance 

may be in person or by your attorney. 

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent 

creditor of the decedent, you 

must fi le your claim with the court and 

mail a copy to the personal representative 

appointed by the court within 

the later of either (1) four months from 

the date of fi rst issuance of letters to 

a general personal representative, as 

defi ned in section 58(b) of the California 

Probate Code, or (2) 60 days 

from the date of mailing or personal 

delivery to you of a notice under section 

9052 of the California Probate 

Code. 

Other California statutes and legal 

authority may affect your rights as 

a creditor. You may want to consult 

with an attorney knowledgeable in 

California law. 

YOU MAY EXAMINE the fi le kept by 

the court. If you are a person interested 

in the estate, you may fi le with 

the court a Request for Special Notice 

(form DE-154) of the fi ling of an inventory 

and appraisal of estate assets 

or of any petition or account as provided 

in Probate Code section 1250. 

A Request for Special Notice form is 

available from the court clerk.

BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding 

on this property lien, you should 

understand that there are risks involved 

in bidding at a trustee auction. 

You will be bidding on a lien, not on 

the property itself. Placing the highest 

bid at a trustee auction does not 

automatically entitle you to free and 

clear ownership of the property. You 

should also be aware that the lien being 

auctioned off may be a junior lien. 

If you are the highest bidder at the 

auction, you are or may be responsible 

for paying off all liens senior to the 

lien being auctioned off, before you 

can receive clear title to the property. 

You are encouraged to investigate the 

existence, priority, and size of outstanding 

liens that may exist on this 

property by contacting the county 

recorder’s offi ce or a title insurance 

company, either of which may charge 

you a fee for this information. If you 

consult either of these resources, you 

should be aware that the same lender 

may hold more than one mortgage or 

deed of trust on the property. NOTICE 

TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date 

shown on this notice of sale may be 

postponed one or more times by the 

mortgagee, benefi ciary, trustee, or 

a court, pursuant to Section 2924g 

of the California Civil Code. The 

law requires that information about 

trustee sale postponements be made 

available to you and to the public, as 

a courtesy to those not present at the 

sale. If you wish to learn whether your 

sale date has been postponed, and, if 

applicable, the rescheduled time and

that are very short in duration or that

sale may not immediately be refl ected

liability for any incorrectness of the

designation, if any, shown herein. If 

no street address or other common
