cannabis industry and the one scaring away the biggest investors was
the federal Justice Department.
As U.S. attorneys and DEA agents
have demonstrated, medical marijuana operations can follow state law to
the letter only to lose everything when
federal law enforcement decides to
get involved. This is what shut down
a third of San Franciscos licensed
and permitted medical marijuana
dispensaries during the 2011-2012
crackdown.
That risk appears to be over now.
On Monday, a federal judge ruled that
recent actions in Congress bar the
Justice Department from interfering
with a state-legal marijuana enterprise
a stunning rebuke for federal drug
cops, and a game-changing victory for
legal weed.
The ruling came in the case of the
Marin Alliance for Medical Marijuana, a modest (by todays standards)
outfit that sold cannabis in the town
of Fairfax with a permit created by
the towns police chief from 1997
to 2012.
The dispensary attracted the feds
attention early, but managed to stay
in business for another decade after a

Life
on the
Streets
Hear San Franciscos
homeless population,
in their own words.
By SF Weekly Staff
San Franciscans are experts
in homelessness.
We step over homeless people, over
their belongings, over their shit just
to get to work. We know exactly why
people are on the streets, we tell each
other. Theyre mentally ill. Theyre addicted to drugs. They made bad choices.
But unless we have been outside
ourselves, we have no idea.
Officially, there are 6,800 homeless
people in San Francisco. That figure
doesnt include people sleeping in cars,
motel rooms, or on friends couches. It
also misses some of the 2,100 homeless children in San Francisco public
schools whose concern for schoolwork competes with the worry about
whether they will have a shelter bed
that night.
Homelessness in San Francisco has
proven to be remarkably stubborn.
There has been little change in the
statistics over the past decade, despite
the steady flow of press releases from
City Hall about the latest innovation
supportive housing for veterans,
the Navigation Center, a new app
meant to assuage one of American
capitalisms most intractable social ills.
Much has been written about how
to solve the problem of homelessness. Mayor Ed Lees dictum that
the homeless will have to go by the
Super Bowl has injected anxiety into
the lives of people on the street and
urgency into the task of finding that
elusive solution.
For once, we wanted to let this
problem be what it is people
and we wanted to let some of those
people do the talking.
What follows are testaments to
living on the streets of one of the richest and most expensive cities in the
world. We do not offer any solutions,
opinions, or expert critiques. Given
the choice of talking or listening, we
decided to listen.
In this issue, we give space to people society has failed, and hope you
will listen to them too, and see them
for what they are.
People. People who, at some time,
perhaps not too long ago, were just
like you: safe inside.

Homeless four months
Location: Highway 101 underpass
Ive been homeless almost five
months. We were living on 68 6th Street.
Its called the Shree Ganeshai Hotel.
The manger there is a thief. Hes a liar.
He had everybody that we cared about
86ed. He came in our room after wed
been there four months, and wed been
paying him not only on time, wed been
paying him a day early. And then we
missed one weeks rent, and he came in
our room and took everything we owned
and threw it in huge garbage bags and
threw it down three flights of stairs.
We found this little box. We were
living in that box until we got this tent
about two weeks ago. Its just a little
box. We walked up on it. It was there;
it was empty; it had hardwood floors. I
think we gave a guy $80 for it.
I pee in a bucket and I go to the bathroom at McDonalds. [My boyfriend]
goes to CalTrain. Where do we shower?
We dont. I washed my hair here yesterday. It took a lot of water. We use
too much water as Americans. I wake
up now and my face is swollen. And my

Hometown: Maine
Homeless 18 years
Location: Civic Center
I came here from Maine. I was in
the navy and went to school a couple
times. Mostly I did warehouse work. A
glass factory had a garage door division,
so I worked there putting together kits
with door panels and remote controls.
After about four years, a new company
bought it and shut down the garage
door division. So then I cleaned carpets
for a while. And then I started moving
people did that for 15 years. It was a
decent living. I got paid under the table
and did side jobs. On a good weekend I
made $600 or $800 profit. Id come out
to San Francisco a couple times a year
on vacation, get a motel, spend money,
and have a good time.
When I became homeless, I didnt
have a clue how long itd last. Its been
18 years now. Maine was rough because
in the summer theres mosquitoes and
blackflies. In the winter, theres blizzards and ice storms. I stayed in shelters
or crashed on friends couches. One day
I thought, If Im gonna be homeless, Ill
go out to California. So in 96 I took a
Greyhound across the country. I stayed
around 2nd and Market, 1st and Market. They used to have these bridges in
SoMa that Id stay under. I didnt have
any enemies there, so I must have had
at least one friend.
When you first start out on the street
you think its a temporary thing, but as
the years go by and you carry more stuff,

eyes are swollen. It feels like the warranty ran out on me and my body.
I got here in 89. January 13th. I
didnt want to wake up one day and
be 50 years old and still be wondering,
you know. I came out here and became
a stripper. There was lots of money.
Then I got involved in the counterculture, and I havent done anything. Ive
sold drugs, and Ive stripped. Never
been a prostitute. Now I hear they
do sucking and fucking in strip clubs.
They werent allowed to do that back
then. The guy that was the manager
had a heart attack and died, and his
girlfriend became the manager of the
girls. She started getting rid of everybodys weekend hours. So I told her she
was a power hungry bitch and asked
if shed ever read Animal Farm. She
didnt know anything about Animal
Farm, but she knew what bitch meant,
and I was the first one on the list to be
fired after that. So that was the end of
my stripping career. After that I became
a drug dealer. So thats about it. Thats
what Ive done. I always managed to
have money.
This city was embarrassingly easy to
be in for a while. Now its...everything
has changed.
The lady at HOT Team was really
honest with me. She said if I want a place
to live, I need to find a vacant building.
thats why no one has been in Civic Center. He housed like forty-some people.
We got to do that again. To get people
off the street. Theres way more chance
of James getting people off the street
than there is of Ed Lee. Ed Lee doesnt
know these people, and he doesnt care
about these people. And James does.
Well find a place, and well disappear for
a little while, and you guys wont see us,
and that will be a good thing.

Homeless 20 years

I grew up in Richmond, California.
My father just got my mother pregnant
and ran off. I didnt really know my
dad but he was from the Fillmore, San
Francisco. You ever hear of the Fillmore?
Thats where my daddy is from. But after
he got my mother pregnant he just, you
know, kinda left.
Ive been living on the streets a little
over 20 years. Because where I was living
I used to live in north Richmond, California was like everyone was selling
dope, pimping, robbing banks, and I just
decided I didnt want to die. Because if
I stayed out there too long it was going
to happen. Ive never used drugs in my
life, but I used to hang around dope dealers and you could get killed just being
around the wrong people. Well, theyre
not the wrong people. But you can get
killed just being around that. You have
to choose where you hang out at. You
can be around the wrong crowd, maybe
youre not into what theyre doing

or heroin but you have to choose

Homeless 13 years

I got the name back in high school.
There was a group of kids, we all had
nicknames from the Addams Family.
We had Fester, we had Thing, we had
Morticia. One day we were hanging out
listening to some music and someone
said Lurch. It just kind of stuck.
Ive been in California for 13 years.
Ive skated pretty much up and down
the whole coast on my skateboard. Im
trying to stay in shape, to get that job
that dont exist.
Toledo, Ohio, is like Detroit. Its
actually a lot worse. People are cutthroat and hateful. You couldnt even
get from the house to the corner store
without having four or five different
people trying to rob you. I think they
call Toledo, Ohio, the whore capital,
the biggest prostitution place in America. I dont want to be a part of all that.
Im a peaceful person.
I had a house. I used to do construction. Ive been to cooking school, but I
did that just to make my mom happy. I
went there to show her that I could do
things other than roofing and drywall.
I know how to do furnaces and central
air conditioning, too. I was certified
in Ohio, but when I came here, nope.

And Im in a wheelchair! But I can handle it. If someone does that to her, Ill
just go berserk. So its best if I do it.
Here at Rainbow, all the workers
know us. They dont bother us as long as
we dont go on the property. They even
let me charge up my chair sometimes.
I got a night spot if this spot dont
work out. I can go to Mason and
Geary, or Sutter and Powell, at that
Walgreens. Theres more people there,
and it all depends what youre asking
for. And you have to mean what youre
asking for. If youre hungry for food,
you ask for a meal. I have to be sincere
in how Im asking.
I tell them, I dont drink or do
drugs. Im just out here trying to get
something to eat like everyone else.
And sometimes they laugh. And thats
not funny. And I gotta hold back.
We even give other panhandlers
some money when we have it. If we
give extra food, we pass it onto them.
D: Its like a union, sort of. Everyone looks out for each other.
Ive been homeless before. I was
homeless in Illinois. I lost my job and
I was on unemployment. I asked my
landlord if I could get extra time, but
the unemployment check came the
week after my rent was due. So I had to
go outside.
Now, its harder. Its harder when
youve been inside before.
T: And when you get older.
I got a son here. I dont really do
shelters. I dont ask him for much
because his life is his life. But we do
go over there to take showers. Hes on
Turk Street. I got two sons, they live in
the same building. Three sons, actually.
I dont really ask them for anything.
When they were younger, I didnt really ask them for anything. Ive always
been a loner-type person.
My familys poor. They dont got
much. The thing of it is, Im not going
to lean on them. Even if they wanted to
help me I wouldnt let them. They dont
really have the money to help me. >> p16

Homeless 1 year
Me and my dog moved here to San
Francisco last year in November. By
choice. Were homeless. I hold the sign
as a way to survive instead of having to
lose my freedom. My dogs name is Bear.
I took a Greyhound down here. I
sleep wherever I can thats, you know,
out of the way so nobody can find me. I
find a nice little spot.
I grew up in Seattle. San Francisco
reminds me of Seattle. I grew up, you
know, in the urban community, street
life and whatnot. Truthfully, my mother
was an addict and my father was an
army knucklehead. But at the same
time, they were separate, and my father
went to do his own thing and I just got
slung around because my mother had
addiction and whatnot. Ive been living
on the street for a year. The last time I
had a place was in Seattle.
Its crazy because as you see the
different faces walk by and the difficult
looks and so forth, there are some that
have, like, a look of disappointment, like
theyre disappointed in me. Some have a
look like you could tell they would rather
I be doing something else. To me, thats
like saying youd rather I would be doing
something illegal like, Holding a sign?
Psh, you better go be selling dope or
steal something or whatever. Its like,
Yeah, no.

I moved here not knowing anybody,
no friends, no family, with intentions of
starting over. Starting from level zero.
Thats how it is. I came here, and I dont

Hugh Leeman likes to paint, and hes
damn good one of San Franciscos
more notable artists. But Leeman is also
a damn good interviewer who draws out
other artists (and thinkers) and gives
them room to talk. Thats the idea behind The Lives of the Creators,
Leemans free public series where he invites creative figures to talk, tell stories,
and if its appropriate do live performances. The series next incarnation,
Sunday, Oct. 25, 2-4:30 p.m., is at the
main San Francisco Public Library, and
features painter Brett Armory; oceanographer Phil McGillivary; Fernando Briosos, whose nonprofit work supports the
Philippines indigenous people; and
pharmaceuticals researchers Mark and
Lara Menning. Each speaker, says Leeman, is changing the world for the better.
The Lives of the Creators, is

We didnt get it at first. Those blanket requests to share the last song we played,
the last book we read, the last photo in our phone. But one local interactive artist brought it into focus: That unedited bit of information, however mundane,
is informal and intimate, like answering the door with bedhead. Over the last
two years, filmmaker Ivan Cash has been traveling around, asking strangers to
share the last photo on their phones. These collections are like the digital-age
equivalent of thrift store family albums, only a little more ridiculous. But
theyre sweet, too, perhaps because Cash really wants to live in a world where
more people talk with strangers. And hes not alone. Since posting the Last
Photo Project which has received more than a million views people in
Slovenia, Brazil, Korea, the Netherlands, Germany, and France have compiled
stories and pictures from strangers in their own hometown.Tonight, we follow
Cash from London to Detroit, in eight montages spanning 45 minutes, followed by a Q&A during which, of course, well ask Cash to tell a story about the
last picture on his own phone.

WAR ON WALLS
In 2010,Iraqi American artist Wafaa Bilal, an associate arts professor at New York Universitys Tisch School of the Arts,received 105,000 tattoos, one dot for every fatality associated with Operation Iraqi Freedom. During the same year, New Yorkborn artist Mariam Ghani hired Afghani-Americans who had worked as translators for the U.S. military to review, on video,
reports about conditions in U.S. military prisons back in Afghanistan. Resistance art has been a part of our global cultural
landscape for as long as there have been powers to resist. But, to view it, listen to it, and consider it in real time, and without
the mollifying balm of a faded past, is a challenging endeavor. As the artistic response by Muslims, South Asians, and Arab
Americans continues to grow, from hip-hop to fine art, in the face of an unending War on Terror,Ronak K. Kapadia cultural theorist and assistant professor of Gender and Womens Studies offers to serve as guide. Friday, he shares examples,
context, and opinion from his upcoming bookShadow Atlas: US Global Counterinsurgencies and the Sensorial Life of Empire.

Autumnal moons hang low in the sky, peering over the earths horizon, heavy,
intimate, bursting with secrets. Little wonder this season is so rich with traditions that favor the night.Arcane: A Tale of All Hallows Eve, a new fulllength story ballet by Charles Anderson, the artistic director and principal
choreographer of Company C Contemporary Ballet, follows the custom, giving
voice to shadow and shade through the allegorical muse of an attending star, Arcane. Each year, the story goes, Arcane welcomes the dead to do what was left
undone and say what was left unsaid. It is a rich time, full of manic beauty and
second chances. Despite the somewhat unsettling premise,Arcanepromises enchantment for the whole family. Brightly festooned dancing skeletons, fire spinners, and sets drawn from a Rube Goldberg fever dream not to mention a
mysterious scratch-and-sniff technology makeArcanea richly immersive experience worthy of holding a childs attention, while adults may rest assured that
even open flame and kinetic gadgetry will not upstage Company Cs talent.

ON THIN ICE
In 2009, Luke Cole, a pioneering theorist and practitioner of environmental justice law, died in Uganda at the age of 46. During his too-brief life, the San Francisco lawyer battled mining companies, mega-dairies, and toxic waste dumps on
behalf of poor and minority communities. Through his non-profit, Center for
Race, Poverty, and the Environment, he filed landmark cases, including one
against big oil detailing the staggering impact global warning has had upon a
4,000-year-old Inupiat Eskimo village in Kivalina, Alaska.Arctic Requiem:
The Story of Luke Cole and Kivalinais an elegy and exploration of Coles
relationshipwith the Inupiat which actually beganwith a six-year legal battle
with the worlds largest zinc mine. Relying heavily on music and tribal memory,Arctic Requiemweaves together facts and folklore from the Inupiats
steadily dissolving island, where playwrightSharmon J. Hilfinger and composer
Joan McMillenspent time to gather firsthand accounts. Onstage, characters
from Inupiat myth lead Cole through the kaleidoscope of events with enough veracity to earn the approval and support of Coles wife but enough heart to feel
like an oral history.

FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE
Among the many technology observers who are disturbed by what digital culture
is doing to our species, Sherry Turkle has addressed the issue with particular
attention and insight. For three decades, the MIT professor has written about the
psychological effects of internet usage. Along the way, she has transformed from
a technology advocate and Wired cover subject into a leading cautionary voice. We
should put down that cellphone and simply talk to each other more, says Turkle,
who believes that technology has supplanted the richer experience of a face-toface conversation. Social media, in which individuals put forth an idealized identity, may make us feel less alone, she says, but it doesnt produce the intimacy and
empathy that are essential to meaningful communication. Turkle also believes
that by changing how we craft technology, we can help remedy the situation. She
will be in town to speak about these issues in person, of course, and with a live
audience and to discuss her latest book, Reclaiming Communication.
Sherry Turkle will speak at7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26, at the Jewish
Community Center, 3200 California St., S.F. $27.415-292-1200orjccsf.org.

TRENCHTOWN ROCK
In 1976, two days after an assassination attempt, Bob Marley got on stage to sing
War in front of 80,000 people at the Smile Jamaica Concert. When asked why,
the singer famously replied,The people who are trying to make this world worse
arent taking a day off. How can I? Born in 1970 to parents who were cops, novelist Marlon James was always aware of the pitiless gang violence and political
corruption that marked the era. His novel,A Brief History of Seven Killings, uses the
Marley shooting as a point of departure, fluidly shifting voice and viewpoint between CIA operatives, gang members, music journalists, and eye witnesses just
to name a few as they weave through the roiling streets of West Kingston, into
the crack houses of 80s New York, and ultimately back to Jamaica in the 90s.
Complex but perfectly mapped, violent but perversely beautiful, James third book
has been called mythic, exhilarating, exhausting, darkly comic, and irresistible.
Less than two weeks ago, when James became the first Jamaican to win the prestigious Man Booker Prize, the judges said it was unanimous.

HERSH WORDS
Rolling Stone named Kristin Hershs Rat Girl as one of the 10 best rock memoirs ever written, and the Noise Pop stalwart and founder of Throwing Muses
and 50 Foot Wave is coming to Green Apple Books to support her follow-up, a
eulogy of sorts for her friend, Vic Chesnutt. A disabled singer-songwriter whose
confinement to a wheelchair and lack of digital dexterity left him unable to play
more than the simplest chords, Chesnutt certainly cuts a tragic figure, but
Hershs Dont Suck, Dont Die: Giving Up Vic Chesnutt proves that the musicians-musician status his work received was more than empty condescension.
This look at their decade-long friendship goes far deeper than diagnosing the
faults of a complex personality, and Hershs conversation with S.F. writer and editor Anisse Gross is bound to tease out all the poignant moments and probably a fair amount of insults, too.
Kristin Hersh in conversation with Anisse Gross begins at 7:30 p.m., at
Green Apple Books, 1231 Ninth Ave., S.F. Free; 415-742-5833 or greenapplebooks.com. Peter Lawrence Kane

well, a bit wistful, laughing at himself.
Nostalgia and laughter are fundamental parts of David Lyles approach.
I had a cool warehouse space on
Florida Street, between 19th and
20th, he says. I kill myself that I gave
that up.
way that he wanted. And so began an outdoor project that has gone through multiple incarnations, with letters, faces, figures,
and colors that have piled atop each other
like a Robert Rauschenberg collage.
The first incarnation of Form Is Emptiness, Emptiness Is Form, completed in
late 2012, bathed the homes lower third
with outlines of shapes on a white background, the yin to the top two-thirds
more colorful yang. Now, the lower third
is more colorful than the section above
and not as obviously connected. Matas free-flowing approach borrows from
Buddhism, as does the title.
That comes from the famous

Extraordinary Tales
Not rated. OpensFriday

Horror anthologies have been on the upswing in recent years, with series such
asV/H/SandThe ABCs of Death. Less popular these days is Edgar Allen Poe, who
has long since been supplanted as the
most popular old-timey horror writer by
H.P. Lovecraft, since modern readers
seem to prefer Lovecrafts monsters and
spooky mythologies to Poes psychodramas. Those psychodramas get the anthology treatment in Raul
GarciasExtraordinary Tales, a collection of
animated shorts based on five Poe stores.
The framing device finds Poe himself (Stephen Hughes) as a crow visiting a cemetery, where Death psychoanalyzes the
poets obsession with mortality, and, as is
the case with anthologies, the segments
are hit-and-miss. The highlight is The
Tell-Tale Heart, animated in a stark blackand-white style of Uruguayan graphic
novelist Alberto Breccia, with narration
provided by a 1940s acetate of Bela Lugosi

cisco, which add to the woes of concert attendees at the ticket booth.
One in-house booker said that
even successful San Francisco shows
need higher prices to fund venue
retrofitting efforts to silence the complaints of cranky neighbors. Another
said that the rental prices of Bay Area
venues is so high that putting on a
concert anywhere without a bar is
near-logistically impossible one
of the many reasons San Francisco
is severely lacking all-ages venues.
But the high prices come with higher
expectations, and one booker said
he has begun to experience angry
emails from fans after disappointing
performances failed to live up to the
price tag.
I understand their frustration,
he sighed.

as that sound was peaking in the U.K.
Peverelists tracks, although designed for
dancefloors, were always infused with
a spaciness and eerie atmosphere that
his peers lacked; each record seemed to
be reaching further and further into the
outer limits.
Kowtons early productions were
basically instrumental grime tracks
reworked to fit a techno palette raw,
hard-hitting, and heavier than a ton of
bricks, effectively bridging the worlds of
bass music and techno. In 2011, Peverelist and Kowton paired up and launched
a new record label called Livity Sound,
dedicated to their own productions
alongside a few close friends.
With Livity Sound, Peverelist and
Kowton took the shackles of genre and
cast them aside. Nothing else sounds

Gwar
Gwar, with Osiris, Battlecross. 7:45 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, $26.50-$28,
at The Regency Ballroom; www.theregencyballroom.com
Are you the kind of person that wants to be sprayed with fake blood when youre out for the evening? Do you mostly enjoy
bands who wear a special combination of loincloths and physical weaponry? Do you long to spend your time in the presence
of so many pyrotechnics that you are at real risk of losing your eyebrows? If the answer was a resounding yes to all of those
questions, then you probably already have your tickets for this Sundays pre-Halloween Gwar show. After the sad death of
Oderus Urungus in early 2014, the world wondered if Gwar could or would continue. But clearly, these interplanetary barbarians are as invincible as they look. Plus, this happens to be an all-ages show, so if there are kids in your life who need to be
scared half to death, bring em along! Theyll never forget it and you probably wont either. Rae Alexandra

Singer-Songwriter
Kristin HersH
Kristin Hersh, with Zachary Blizzard. 8 p.m. Monday, Oct.
26, at Bottom of the Hill. $20; www.bottomofthehill.com
The strength and resonance of Kristin Hershs vocals are matched only by her
extraordinary lyrical-writing abilities. The magical combination of those two
things is why Hersh has maintained such a long career, from her early days in
the (eternally popular) Throwing Muses, through nine solo albums, as well as
her 50 Foot Wave side-project. But perhaps most remarkably, Hersh has used
her unique voice and point of view to author a memoir (Rat Girl), a childrens
book (Toby Snax), and has even created an interactive app for kids. Yes, this
Rhode Island native is a busy lady, so be sure to catch her while you can especially in a venue as intimate at Bottom of the Hill. Its sure to be a special
evening. Rae Alexandra

savage LOve
By Dan Savage
Im a straight guy, married for 16 years, kids in
school. My wife cannot find a way to be intimate with
me. Weve had therapy individually and together. I
nearly divorced her, but we decided to stay together we do love each other, and the economics and
child-rearing favor it. After I asked for a divorce,
she fucked the shit out of me for the first time in 10
years. That was the last time she fucked me. Shes
broken her word, not mine, and her final answer.
When the subject of affairs came up in the past, she
said, I wouldnt blame you. I could jack off only so
many times before I cracked. I went online and met
a very sexual woman with a strictly NSA thing for
married men, and we fucked. I plan on doing it again.
I know this could go all kinds of bad ways, but divorce
just isnt realistic. We had that one conversation,
but we do not have an explicit understanding. I dont
want to head into my 50s with 10-plus years of celibacy behind me and decades of celibacy ahead of me.
But I want to keep my marriage. Which kind of idiot
am I?
