villagehatshop.com Since 1997, The Village Hat Shop has operated as part retail shop and part ecommerce fulfillment center. With the move of its ecommerce business to 3443 India St., the 4th Avenue location in Hillcrest has begun a transition that, when finished next year, will become a 5,000-square-foot flagship hat store. In October, the Village Hat Shop’s location at Seaport Village


will celebrate its 30th anniversary in conjunction with month-long 30th anniversary festivities at Seaport Village. The Village Hat Shop opened in San Diego on May 2, 1980. In the run up to Halloween, a time of great fun and good business for hatters (sometimes in fact they are mad), The Village Hat Shop is ready for action. Halloween begins with the head: first the idea and then the hat.

’em apart (Holly has a thing for her hunky customer/pediatrician Josh Lucas) before the inevitable third act reconciliation. Heigl the actress is not without her charms (as evi- denced in “Knocked Up”) and Du- hamel comes off as an agreeable, better looking (and mannered) version of Johnny Knoxville. There are moments where you can almost buy them in their roles, but even Tracy and Hepburn couldn’t elevate this script.


The film ends with a brain- numbing double whammy. Not only does Berlanti attempt a teary airport come together, the film expires with contemporary cinema’s most egregious of all curtain shots, a meaningless pan- up to the city skyline. Suddenly an orphaned child doesn’t look so tragic.


The only thing that got me


through this was thoughts of an earlier screening still fresh in my mind. The Rene Zellweg- ger chiller “Case 39” sat on the shelf for almost four years before finally garnering a release date, presumably on the basis of a brief appearance by the red hot Bradley Cooper (“The Hangover”). Pouty Rene stars as a social worker assigned a case involving parents who duct taped their 9-year-old daughter inside an oven. It’s soon revealed that the child is a direct descendant of Lucifer, and before it’s over you’ll be cheering for the over. If you really want to have some fun, watch these on a double bill and pretend that “Life as we Know It” is a prequel.u

he beef industry isn’t as it was when my great uncle was a rancher. When the anti-red


age. What we do know, without a doubt, is that the man was a red meat enthusiast from the moment he began chewing to the end of his days, and he maintained a squeaky bill of health for at least 32,850 (90 years) of them. But then, he was intimately familiar with the meat he consumed, running his own cattle and sourcing others from rancher friends and butchers he trusted. (And, for the record, each exchange was sealed with a handshake, as were his real estate deals.) While processed foods may

Body Erotic workshop Nov. 13-14 (691) 204-6602


thebodyelectricschool.com Twenty-six years ago a poem title by Walt Whitman was bor-


rowed to name a new concept: erotic energy workshops. The first stanza of “I Sing the Body Electric” reads: The armies of those I love engirth me, and I engirth them; They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them, And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the


Soul.


In eloquent words Whitman sums up what many feel are three of Body Electric’s many components: community, connection and change. People sometimes think or hear that Body Electric is just about massage. Not so. The work is about providing people the space to experience their potential as fully integrated, loving and self-aware beings through touch, conscious breath, deep connec- tions and honoring the wisdom of the body. The work is about us- ing erotic energy to generate pleasure, healing and transformative insight. Plus, Body Electric offers the opportunity to just laugh and have fun with some of the most wonderful souls you’ll ever meet. School Director Bob Findle says, “Although the origins of Body Electric began as a response to the appearance of AIDS and the accompanying, crippling fear of intimacy it created among gay men, the work has evolved beautifully to meet the challenges of today where finding intimacy and connection can still be difficult.” Findle said many studies in the fields of psychology and counseling show that, in today’s age of the Internet and electronic gadgets, people report having never felt so wired and connected, yet at the same time so very lost and alone. “Our work is about helping people step back from the daily grind and reach a part of themselves that may have gotten lost,” Findle said. “The workshops can also provide tools for making you a better lover through creating intentions and developing consciousness around erotic energy.” The gateway to the school’s full range of offerings is Celebrating the Body Erotic, a weekend workshop that’s offered in 18 different cities in the U.S. and Canada. After that comes the opportunity for classes in Tantra, conscious BDSM and more. There are also sum- mer intensives, such as Dear Love of Comrades, Erotic Temple and Fusion and Art & Eros. The school also offers programs for women. Michael Cohen, a life coach and Body Electric facilitator, says:


“Part of what Body Electric is about is helping people heal their histories of what it’s been like to grow up in a culture that makes it very challenging to feel good about being erotic. We allow participants to feel love, including for themselves, and to do so in a community setting. That can feel revolutionary.”
