Day of Silence
 
 

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– […]

Prom Dresses Wanted…
 
 

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.
Operation Fairy Godmother is a program of Soroptimist International (Valley de Oro chapter) that provides […]

So check out today’s U-T for a list of local spas participating in Spa Week San Diego 2007.

Are you ready for some baseball?
 
 

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 […]

Art Responding to Culture.

Is San Diego a Literary / Artistic Wasteland?
 
 

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 […]

Outrage at Pokez?
 
 

Pokez, (and myspace) the venerable lefty hippy arty cool vegetarian-friendly Mexican restaurant downtown is practically an institution among the hipster set. I myself loved eating there back when I was working downtown.
Well, all is not well in Pokez-land. Here’s an allegation of an autistic customer being assaulted for not ordering fast enough: “Assaulted at dinnertime […]

Frankie Laine– Gone, but not forgotten
 
 

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, […]

Rocket Rockin the Casbah on Friday
 
 

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 […]

Moving to San Diego, or Moving Out of San Diego?
 
 

I read a surprising article in the UT today (online) about the rate at which people are moving out vs moving in to San Diego.
Citing data from the California Department of Finance, Schuerman said only 900 people moved to San Diego County over the past two years, while more than 28,500 residents moved out.
It would […]
