Hod Hulphers
Singer-songwriter Hod Hulphers has no illusions about it, he has a weird name—but he doesn’t try to fight it. In fact, he’s chosen a moniker that’s even weirder: “And Hod,” which is a result of always being the opening act for years and seeing his name listed at the very end of the flyer as “And Hod.” He just thought he’d go with it.

Foodie File: Eat Like a Greek Food Fair
Every year, the Santa Cruz Greek Festival draws more than 10,000 visitors. But not all Greek food fanatics like the big crowds; luckily, the good folks at the Prophet Elias Greek Orthodox Church, who organize the festival, also have the much more intimate Eat Like a Greek Food Fair, which returns this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (May 16-18), and is held in the church’s courtyard. We interviewed volunteer organizer Athena Wolfe about what people can expect.

Untamed Youth
Gia Coppola’s ‘Palo Alto’ captures the highs and lows of adolescence James Franco’s Brett Easton Ellis-like list of sensations in short story form has been inverted in Gia Coppola’s fine debut Palo Alto. Maybe the problem with reading it was that it was meant to be a movie all along. Franco’s book was like a medieval...
