If you like to listen to internet radio… listen up.
That’s the Sound of Silence, and not in a Simon and Garfunkel kind of way, but rather in protest of the new high music royalties for Internet radio, established by the Copyright Royalty Board in March which could well put many small, non-commercial stations out of business– […]

The only prom I went to I actually made my own dress. It was pretty sad– let’s just say its a good thing I’m not making my living as a dress designer or a seamstress, I’d probably be homeless by now.

I realize it seems far off… but if you want to take advantage of Spa Week and get yourself a reasonably priced spa treatment (that would include a massage!) You probably need to book ASAP.
So check out today’s U-T for a list of local spas participating in Spa Week San Diego 2007.
You may or may not know that baseball season is upon us. I’m not much of a fan myself, partially a result of having lived within walking distance of Wrigley Field in Chicago for a few years (crowds, drunks, lack of parking). Now, I take a writing class in downtown San Diego, so I am pretty […]

Maybe I’m just naive. Maybe I just like Rich Baiocco. And maybe, just maybe, San Diego does have an arts community… and maybe, just maybe you have to open your eyes and look around. It’s there. Like Winter in San Diego its subtle, but it’s there.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out […]

People think I’m weird because I read obituaries… but you discover the most interesting things. First off, although I’m a little young to have been a Frankie Laine fan, I’d certainly heard of him… and apparently I’d heard him over the years, singing songs that have become classics. I didn’t know he sang the theme song for Rawhide, […]
All-girl pop punkband Rocket is playing a show February 2nd at The Casbah.
Looks like a fun show. According to the press release, the band mixes 60s girl group innocence with 70s decibel damaging Sunset Boulevard beat and 80s glam wham… I checked out the website, and their sound kinda reminds me of a modern version of […]

I used to watch the Chargers’ games with my Granddad. He was convinced the Chargers could only win with him cheering them on. He wasn’t always right. Granddad passed away in 2004 (at the age of 94), and though early in the game I was sure he was watching from above, by the end, I […]
