Film, Times & Events: Week of April 3
Orthorexia
When healthy eating takes an unhealthy turn
It starts out healthy enough—or seemingly so. Maybe someone started by cutting out processed foods. Then desserts. Then sugar. Then meat. Maybe they switched to all organic and, while they were at it, went gluten-free and wheat-free. In a culture that has gone health-food crazy, it’s easy to see how some people can take a “healthy” diet to an unhealthy extreme.
Caraccioli Cellars
Chardonnay 2009
One of the nice things about visiting the tasting room of Caraccioli Cellars in the heart of Carmel is being able to order little plates of munchies to go with the wine.
Soif’s Magic Touch
Soif Restaurant and Wine Bar is still the go-to place for one of the best culinary experiences in Downtown Santa Cruz
Something Borrowed, Something New
U.K. band Temples worships old rock gods with an eye toward the future
Many bands form in small suburban towns, then move to the big city to stretch their wings and build a following. In other instances, the members find each other while bumming around the metropolis, working odd jobs to make ends meet. But for U.K. psychedelic revivalists Temples, the story is a bit different.
The Ties That Bind
The fourth annual ‘Looking Left’ dance festival is all about connections
What is connection? Is it tweeting and pinning and updating our friends with what we ate for breakfast? Is it a bond that occurs between people? Or is it a feeling that comes from within? The connection generated through dance is the theme explored at Motion Pacific’s upcoming showcase, “Looking Left.”
Mysteries to Restore the Earth
Sun squares Pluto Thursday, 2:22 a.m. West Coast time. A challenging and potent transit for the day. Transformative. Summoning Persephone from the underworld. Gemini moon follows. Persephone has lots to say about things hidden, in darkness, seeking the light.
How would you feel about a tech industry boom in Santa Cruz?
I feel like it would ruin the small old-town feeling of Santa Cruz. It wouldn’t be the same Surf City kind of vacation town that it is.

Understanding the Other
Photography exhibit seeks to give a ‘face and voice’ to those experiencing homelessness
“One of the big things I have learned is that almost everyone experiencing homelessness is in pain,” says Annette March. “That pain is unnecessary. More than 3,500 people in Santa Cruz are suffering needlessly, and that’s not OK with me.”

Tess Dunn

Since then, Dunn has played two more...
