Film, Times & Events: Week of October 24
Dilated Pupil
It was either Pliny the Elder or Green Day who said, “Make the best of this test, and don’t ask why; it’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time.” How about the ancient wisdom, right? In any case, there are actually hundreds of questions that can come up for college students in Santa Cruz County, and in this issue of Dilated Pupil, you’ll find hundreds of answers.
The Sea Wolves
Nick “Sick Boy” Anchorheart has been in a lot of bands. But until recently, he’s never been in that one that’s fully embraced his true punk rock influences—bands like the Misfits, the Ramones and Social Distortion. With the Sea Wolves, he takes those influences and creates exactly the raw, powerful, vibrant, mid-tempo garage-punk sound he’s always wanted.
What’s the most outrageous situation you ever saw at a restaurant?
When a drunk customer ripped the urinal off the wall, then started a fight with the bartender in the cafe downstairs. It was an off-the-wall situation, for sure.
Damani Thomas, Santa Cruz, Chef/Owner
Wedge of Allegiance
Azar Nafisi on American identity and misguided individualism
Briefs: Take Shelter, Going Viral
Take Shelter
Volatile Creatures
On-stage meltdowns aside, Foxygen discusses their recent new album
Back Porch
Austin Kaye on backyard dinners and why it’s his favorite time of year to be a chef
Hunter Hill Vineyard & Winery
The 2012 Pinot that winemaker Vann Slatter produced was good, but the 2013 is even better. Not surprisingly, it has become a top seller at the winery. Made entirely from estate fruit and aged for a year on American oak, I think the 750 cases that Slatter made will not be around for very long.

Wedge of Allegiance
Azar Nafisi on American identity and misguided individualism Sometimes it takes someone who chose to be a citizen to show us what’s important about the American experience.
