The weekend, like most festival weekends in Davis, was hot. The quad at U.C. Davis had become a world unto itself. Multicolored tents had sprung up over night, bringing with them booths, climbing structures, and stages. As we wandered through previously non-existent paths, peering at the sheer multitudes of different goods for sale, we were … Continue reading
Dude gets a hobby. Hobby becomes a passion. While exploring Dude’s passion, friends are made. Friends thrive at what started as merely a hobby. It’s the same recipe for success you see again and again; uniform as a model and unique as an enterprise, much like a vinyl record, uniform yet unique. At Runner Up … Continue reading
Tinned honkytonk filled the air and the sun set slowly over the wooden deck nestled in the midst of the Arboretum. The air was pleasantly warm, if sprinkled with mosquitos, but that fell away as the actors entered from offstage and the play began. The premise of the ‘The Foreigner’ is simple: Charlie Baker, grieving … Continue reading

I am proud of it. Today’s Myth: “I am at Goodwill. Wow, it is already a great deal.” FALSE. And … Continue reading
The day of the Egghead Music Walk was just a little warmer than pleasant, but nothing short-sleeves and sunscreen couldn’t fix. The sizable crowd that gathered in front of Mrak Hall for the first stop of the walk didn’t seem to mind. They bunched around the little stage on the sidewalk and sprinkled themselves on … Continue reading
Finding a place to play trivia on a Tuesday in Sacramento is like trying to find an elephant in a haystack. It’s easy. In pubs and bars around town you will find a cute girl on a mic asking mundane questions that only 3% of the pear cider sipping population actually know the answer to. … Continue reading
In all of my time as a thrifter, I have lived in fear of this one particular item: Jeans. I am happy to announce that this week I have overcome this fear. However, it wasn’t easy.

I have a confession. I am addicted to thrifting. The smell, the anticipation, the search, waiting for that moment when that item stands out among the chaos. Finding that treasure is the most incredible feeling. I need to share this with you. All of you. You know that super hip song by Macklemore? I do … Continue reading

I am of course, referring to the Great Depression. American culture at the time was engrossed in the desire to be distracted from their constant … Continue reading
Those of us lucky enough to live in California have the added good fortune that we can go camping year-round. I enjoy camping and I love the landscape of the desert, but I’m really not interested in camping in 100+ degree heat. I made that particular mistake one spring break in Lake Havasu, AZ. One of many mistakes I … Continue reading
I have been an artist for at least 15 years now, and I honestly can’t say that I have ever seen in-the-flesh performance art. So when Allison Fall walked into Alpha Ceramics three days ago, looking for the cheapest way to fill a bath tub with slip for a performance art piece she was doing … Continue reading

As we pulled into the West Sacramento Community Center at 8:30 on Saturday night, I thought at first we may have been too late. The food vendors were packing up, and the last sizzle of the employee food was just hitting the fryer. As John Klaiber and I walked into the sliding glass doors that held … Continue reading
Ever since my mom saw the footage of Hurricane Katrina, and more recently the earthquake in Japan, she has begun to worship at the Church of Survival. No, that’s not a real church, but identifying oneself as a “survivalist” is becoming increasingly popular and acceptable. Gone are the days when a “survivalist” was a crazy, … Continue reading
Sitting in my office today, I started to hear the sounds of bagpipes and drums coming from the window. I looked outside, expecting to see a parade, and when one never appeared, I got curious. Since I work across the street from the Capitol, I figured it might be some kind of protest (we get … Continue reading
November 6 is about three weeks away – are you ready for it?

Now the answer to … Continue reading
