Artist James Gilbert will set up a temporary sewing shop in the CAF gallery and sew several hundred real size pairs of unique clear industrial plastic see-through underpants, which will accumulate in huge sculptural piles around him. The accumulative sculptures (representing media information) become more present throughout the performance. This accumulative performance project addresses ideas of privacy, anonymity, and identity in relationship to the huge amounts of intimate personal information posted daily on Facebook, youtube, Google and other mass media.

Kidical Mass is a fun, safe, easy-going, and law-abiding family bike ride for kids of all ages. It happens every first Thursday of the Month from May-September.
Our group rides include a nice mix of experienced cyclists, and folks just getting started. We hope to educate bike-curious parents about ways to bicycle with children, help kids learn to ride safely in the streets, and increase the visibility of family biking on San Luis Obispo Streets. Kids are traffic too! All manner of bikes and high-occupancy velos are welcome.
These rides will be informal gatherings of family cyclists. While the spirit of our rides is to be looking out for one another, you are ultimately responsible for deciding what's safe and appropriate for you and your family.
We do aim for some non-confrontational public visibility, since we feel that the more people see happy families out there biking, the more will join in on the general family cycling fun, and the safer we'll all be.
But most of all, we have fun! And ding our bells a lot. And generally whoop it up.
Hosted by the San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition.
Please visit www.slokidicalmass.org for information on themes and suggested bike routes to Kidical Mass. *Dates and Themes: July 1st- Rockets, August 5th- Pirates, September 2nd- Robots.

My work is about exploring color, texture and mark making inspired by the inherent beauty of nature’s lyricism. As I hike the mountains and trails of San Luis Obispo each morning I discover a new treasury of organic inspiration: fantastic mushrooms, bulbous seed pods and intricate plant life all create a memory map of all my findings and sometimes I even unload a pocket or two of the goodies I’ve collected and so begins the journey of creating the story through painting.
My process consists of orderly and discreetly layering the plaster creating textures both rough and with glasslike smoothness that characterizes the inherent essence of the material. The “painting” quality presents itself both through design and knife technique as well countless happy accidents. I allow the viewer a glimpse of history within each layer, I selectively keep some of the first layers while adding new, relevant plaster shapes and improvisational renderings which further contribute to the evolution and whimsy of the piece, and so the story unfolds....
Anne Stahl.
Senescence
the changes of an organism as it ages after its maturity.
Change is rapid; or not. Time is not absolute. This series attempts to depict the intangible landscape of time. Injecting onto the panels, the patterns we experience are immeasurable echelons. Layer upon layer of paint decompose the limits of time and present a fraction of an occurrence; or not. A non-representational painting can suggest infinite interpretations of an infinite dimension. In the end, we learn only how little we know and in turn understand even less. In the absence of understanding, we turn to super truths, which are in fact lies. Religion.

The Kandinsky Effect
|
|
| |
|
Contact: Peter J Steynberg 547-0278 sgallery@charter.net
|
| |
|
What do you get when you combine an American saxophonist, a self-proclaimed "total gringo" bassist and a French drummer, playing progressive jazz in Europe? There's no one-size-fits-all answer. But The Kandinsky Effect, composed of Warren Walker (saxophone), Gael Petrina (acoustic and electric bass) and Gautier Garrigue (drums), sure as heck blow the roof off the joint trying to figure it out for themselves.
The group's self-titled release finds it turning a number of seeming roadblocks into advantages, creating an organic, forward-thinking record. First and foremost, despite (or maybe because of) their disparate backgrounds, all three musicians are on the same page, and their communication on this record borders on the telepathic. Though the album is relatively through-composed, just listen to "Flow," the aptly titled closing track. Petrina starts off with a complicated ostinato bass line on acoustic. Garrigue quickly joins him and they're off to the races. Walker enters soon afterwards, unhurried even as he catches up to the pace set by the rhythm section. Abruptly, the band flows into a second, darker section, leading to a Walker solo. Flying up and down the register of his horn, Walker achieves Chris Potter—like tension and release. But make no mistake, he is merely following the beat set by Petrina, whose bass is ever-present. Walker then lays out, leading to a short composed section and a Garrigue solo accompanied by Petrina.
Remarkably, in the middle of the solo, both players halve the tempo at the same exact moment, and then pick up again. A blip on the radar screen, but something only two simpatico players at their most in-the-moment could have accomplished. The rest of the tune devolves into a series of echoes and electronic effects backed by Garrigue's staunch groove, before returning to the original quick theme. The group's single mind is able to make what could very easily be a complicated listen into 6:34 of bliss.
Then there is the instrumentation. Saxophone, bass and drums is a notoriously difficult idiom with which to keep listeners interested, as noted here. But it's the variations on the traditional trio that make this album one that listeners will return to time and again. Walker's use of effects, both through his saxophone and otherwise, is new and different but always tasteful, while Petrina's electric bass proves quite refreshing. With spare instrumentation such as this, the tendency is often to overplay in order to fill the void, but at no point does The Kandinsky Effect try to do too much. The group stays well within its capabilities and lets the compositions speak for themselves.
Finally, there is the place. All three musicians are based in Paris, and the album was recorded in Basel, Switzerland. Neither city is exactly a world-renowned jazz hub. The location, however, proves liberating. There is no pressure on the group to conform to blues-based, American jazz expectations. For sure, The Kandinsky Effect are steeped in blues tradition. Just listen to "New Year's Day" and revel in its dark funk. But The Kandinsky Effect succeeds because of its ability to combine the diverse influences of the bandmembers into a coherent whole. Case in point: there is only a single cover on the album, "Girl/Boy Song" by Aphex Twin, the electronica pioneers.
The Kandinsky Effect is an album that can be appreciated on many levels—a cursory listen is perfect as conversation-starting background music at a Parisian soirée, while a closer listen rewards listeners with moments such as the halving of tempo in "Flow" described above. Walker, Petrina and Garrigue will continue to be heard from as they develop their individual and collective sounds.
Tracks: Intro to Sad Novi; Sad Novi; Photo Book; Paaterns; Girl/Boy Song; Derniere Demarque; New Year's Day; Billy Pilgrim; Penguin Parade/So Po Mo Mo; Le Mec; Melodica; Flow.

Snowy Plover Docent & Intern Training Session Program
|
|
| |
|
Contact: Jennifer Stroh 805-893-370 stroh@lifesci.ucsb.edu
|
| |
|
The Snowy Plover Docent Program (SPDP) was started in 2001 to assist with the protection of the Snowy Plovers at Coal Oil Point Reserve, (COPR) and to raise awareness in the community of the importance of the preservation of this species and its habitat. The docent program is credited with being the most important aspect of the species re-habitation of Sands Beach and subsequent nesting. This program is under the auspices of the Santa Barbara Audubon Society.
The Snowy Plover is a threatened species. Nesting on the open sand makes them very vulnerable. Often their eggs and chicks are at risk of being stepped on or destroyed by unknowing beach users or off leash dogs. This is where the docents
come in, and make a difference. Docents provide a personal and friendly contact for beach users. They promote public interest and understanding, and in turn, dramatically increase the effectiveness of other plover/tern management
efforts at the Reserve. Once a docent, only two hours a week is required.

|
The I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival once again comes to the San Luis Obispo Mission Plaza and surrounding streets with glorious chalk paintings on September 11th and 12th. This great annual community event brings thousands of viewers, artists, and participants together to help raise funds for art programs in SLO County public schools. The Children's Creative Project and the American Institute of Architects Central Coast Chapter will co-present the nineteenth annual event. The Festival organizers encourage local artists and sponsors to come together to make this a memorable event to celebrate the arts and raise funds to support the Children's Creative Project arts education programs for students in San Luis Obispo County schools. Festival organizers are grateful for grant support received from the City of San Luis Obispo.
Local artists are invited to help fill the streets with color. More than 200 artists will create street paintings in sponsored pavement "squares" ranging in size from 4-by-6 feet to 12-by-12 feet are available for local artists, architects, graphic designers, students, and children to fill these pavement canvases with their own unique inspiration. Businesses, individuals, and organizations are invited to sponsor squares, and in return for their financial support, businesses and other sponsors will be advertised by inscribing their name in the sponsored street painting square. Sponsored squares cost from $75 to $500 depending on the size of the square. The sponsors may select their own artist, or the festival will provide an artist for them to create a street painting for the sponsored square. The festival is not a competition and the purpose is not to produce an image for advertising, but to allow the artist to create an artistic image that may or may not relate to the sponsoring business or individual.

|

Marissa Bloom, Soprano and Paul Woodring, Piano will take on the songs of Aaron Copland. Copland's music is almost synonymous with America. His Appalachian Spring ballet score with Martha Graham is quintessential American music. After all, what is more American than the "Beef it's what's for dinner" commercial scored to Aaron Copland's theme? Aaron Copland, who was enraptured by early American folk songs, created arrangements of these songs which are lovely and powerful in their simplicity. Marissa and Paul will be performing these folk songs as well as Copland's Songs of Emily Dickinson on Saturday September 11th at 5PM at St. Luke's Church: 5318 Palma Ave, Atascadero, CA 93422. The suggested donation is $15 to raise funds for a European Vocal Program next Summer. For more information, visit www.marissabloom.com

This meditation practice and teaching will focus on bringing Buddhist practice into our lives and world. Buddhism offers many methods to relieve suffering in our own lives and in the lives of others. Nobody wants to suffer and everyone wants to be happy. Learning to meditate with trained guidance can ease our suffering and truly transform our lives. Learning to take these experiences out in the world truly transforms us and the world we live in. We will discuss taking our sitting and other practices into our daily lives and finding the space in our busy lives for practice.
Khedrub Zangmo has been studying and practicing Buddhism for over 25 years. Under the guidance of the highly respected meditation master Lama Gendun Rinpoche, she took monastic vows and completed two consecutive three-year retreats at Dhagpo Kundreul Ling in central France. After completing her second retreat in 1997, Khedrub lived in the women’s monastery established by Gendun Rinpoche and began teaching Buddhism in centers, schools and organizations in Europe and in the USA. At the request of Shamar Rinpoche, Khedrub moved back to the US in 2000. Khedrub is currently a resident teacher of the Pasadena Bodhi Path Center.

The Desert Speaks: The Art of Fernand Lungren
|
|
| |
|
Contact: Holly Cline 805-686-8315 holly@wildlingmuseum.org

|
The Wildling Art Museum's exhibition features 23 works borrowed from the permanent collection of the University Art Museum, University of California, Santa Barbara. Fernand Lungren was a Santa Barbara resident for the last 26 years of his life, during which he traveled to Death Calley, The Sierras, the Mojave, and the Grand Canyon to paint. Lungren was a master at capturing the mood, light, colors, and tonal variations of the desert, and strived to tell the drama of the desert itself. He once wrote, "one who has come under the spell of the desert and has learned to love its wonderful elusive beauty, its wide stretches of apparent nothingness yet replace with charm and subtlety, its color and majesty of form, there remains no choice but to return again and again..." The Wildling is grateful to the University Art Museum for its generous loan, as well as to additional lenders.

Art of the Book

The Central Coast Book & Author Festival’s “Art of the Book” exhibit is underway at five local library branches. The show will culminate with an exhibit at the festival itself, on Sunday September 19th from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Book artists and illustrators are displaying original work at the San Luis Obispo, Nipomo, Arroyo Grande, Atascadero and Los Osos Public Libraries until September 18th. The art will then be on display at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art on the day of the festival. The artwork will be available for purchase on that day.
This year’s participating artists are Anna Byrd Mays, Babette Girard, Beryl Reichenberg, Brigham Baker, Erin Perry, Fayrene Parrish, Jayne Koontz, Julia Stanert, Ken Christensen, Nathan Wondrak, Paula Zima, Sue McKee and Meryl Perloff.
“The book can become a visual work of art in addition to
being a source of information, interest and pleasure,” said Art of the Book coordinator and local artist Meryl Perloff. “The creative endeavors of book artists take many forms and give voice to the various ways we interpret information and communication of ideas. The sensitive drawings that illustrators provide amplify the text of many books and draw the reader in while making the characters come to life.”
The Central Coast Book & Author Festival takes place on Sunday, September 19th, 2010 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in San Luis Obispo’s Mission Plaza. This free event features author presentations, over 60 exhibitors, and book sales.
The event is a fund-raiser for the Foundation for San Luis Obispo County Public Libraries. Proceeds benefit a multitude of library programs, including the county-wide Children’s Summer Reading Program.
For more information or a schedule of events (available two weeks prior to the event) visit www.ccbookfestival.org, call (805) 546-1392 or send an e-mail to info@ccbookfestival.org.

Santa Barbara Region Chamber of Commerce to Return to China in March 2011
Yangzte River Cruise Included!
The Santa Barbara Region Chamber of Commerce will once again travel with Citslinc to China in March 2011. Earlier business trips to China in March 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 were shared over these years with 40,000 business people from other west coast chambers with their families and friends. The trip to China departs March 25, 2011 and returns April 3, 2011. This year’s trip features a 4-day, 3-night cruise along the Yangtze River.
You will visit memorable sites, both ancient and modern, and enjoy a multitude of unforgettable experiences. Of professional interest, you will also learn a great deal about how the Chinese business system operates. As you consider whether to join the Santa Barbara Chamber, please do not hesitate to ask questions. It is recommended that you do some "homework" to help with your decision. Read a few travel guides. Do some research on the Internet. This will be one of the most unique trips you will have the opportunity to make. Space is limited.
The Chamber will hold its first Orientation meeting for interested travelers Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 5:30 in the Chamber offices. Located at 924 Anacapa St., there is convenient parking directly across the street in the public lot at Carrillo and Anacapa streets. A second orientation meeting with tour host and owner Citslinc’s Leo Liu is scheduled for Wednesday, October 20 at 5:30 pm.
This tour is an exceptional value. The cost is $2,799 for members, (per person, based on double occupancy), ($3,099 for non-members), which includes your round trip airfare, 5-star or 4-star hotel accommodation, deluxe tour bus, knowledgeable English-speaking tour guides in each city, three full meals every day, fees for all attractions and any applicable taxes.

"Try to Remember" a time when The Fantasticks wasn't captivating audiences. The memorable score by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt enlivens the heart of this passionate musical that charmed Off-Broadway for a record-breaking 42 years. In a twist on the classic story of boy meets girl, Matt and Luisa are led by El Gallo from the wistfulness of "when life was slow and oh so mellow" to the reality that "without a hurt the heart is hollow."

Huntington's Disease Fundraising Wine Event at CDO

HDSA & Santa Maria Huntington’s Disease Support Group Fundraiser Saturday, September 18, at Costa de Oro in Santa Maria.
On Saturday, September 18, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm, the Santa Maria Huntington’s Disease Support Group will hold a fundraising event at Costa de Oro Tasting Room located at 1331 S. Nicholson Avenue, Santa Maria. This event is open to the public. Wine pours will be $7 and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
Gary Burk, son of Ron Burk founding member of the parent company Gold Coast Farms, is a world-class, award winning winemaker for Costa de Oro Winery and has graciously offered to donate a percentage of his tasting room proceeds between 1:00 - 4:00 pm to benefit the Santa Maria Huntington’s Disease Support Group. The money donated will pay for programs and services for local support group members with a portion to be donated to HDSA (Huntington’s Disease Society of America) for research, education and outreach.
The Santa Maria Huntington’s Disease Support Group was formed in June 2010 following the HDSA Santa Maria Symposium, an educational symposium that was sponsored by HDSA and Lundbeck Inc. Numerous families affected by this disease in the Santa Maria and Lompoc areas are now being helped by the Santa Maria support group.
Huntington’s Disease is a devastating hereditary, neurodegenerative and fatal brain disorder that results in a loss of cognitive, behavioral and physical control. Once a person is diagnosed, they will bear another 10-25 years with progressive debilitating suffering. Eventually, a person with HD becomes totally dependent upon others for their care. Children of a parent with HD have a 50% chance of developing the disease. There are two classifications of HD; adult onset and juvenile onset (JHD).

Face of the Clam - New Edition Release.
Poetry Party with Clam Chowder and Wine.
The South County Historical Society announces the book release of the Central Coast classic, Face of the Clam, at 2 PM on September 18 at the IOOF Hall, 128 Bridge Street in Arroyo Grande. A Poetry and Clam Chowder event will celebrate this historical novel written by Luther Whiteman about life in the Pismo-Oceano Dunes in the 1920s. Admission is $5.00.
Often compared to Steinbeck's Tortilla Flat, the book depicts characters who rationalize their disdain for work and their love of life. When the reader hears the voices of the red-headed waitress in Avila, the Portuguese moonshiner near Oso Flaco, the customers in the Mexican store in Guadalupe and the inmates in county jail, the unique language of the Central Coast comes alive in this classic tale.
Some of the county’s top poets will join author Norm Hammond in capturing the spirit of dune life during the time Whiteman lived in the area. Imagine life on the Pismo-Oceano dunes in the 1920s: The war to end all wars is over: The Great Depression is years into the future. It is the Roaring Twenties in nearby speakeasies and dinner clubs. But a few miles away poets, mystics, theosophists, saints, and ne’er-do-wells live in harmony in their small hidden oases. The book portrays many of the idiosyncrasies of these castaways who lived a carefree existence with help of sea creatures and surrounding Japanese vegetable farms.
The book price is a bargain at $35 (hardbound) and $18 paperback considering the original edition sells for more than $150 on Amazon. The Society previously published Norm Hammond’s The Dunites, a non-fiction “best seller” for the historical society.
So grab a bowl of Pete Kelley’s clam chowder and a glass of wine, then sit back in the IOOF Hall and listen to the poetry of Jane Elsdon, Karl Kempton, Marguerite Costigan and Kevin Patrick Sullivan. For more information call 489-8282.

"Losing My Religion: How I Lost My Faith Reporting On Religion In America", with William Lobdell.
His memoir was published in 2009 by Harper Collins, to critical acclaim such as, "Feels powerfully fresh... his humane, even-tempered book does more to advance the cause of irreligion than the bilious atheist tracts by Christopher Hitchens and others. And Lobdell's self-deprecating memoir is far more fun to read", according to the New York Times.
A nationally renowned journalist, Lobdell worked for 17 years at the Los Angeles Times and its sister newspapers in a variety of reporting and editing positions, including eight years on the religion beat at the L.A.Times.
He is now editor of the Fraud Discovery Institute, which investigates public companies and private enterprises suspected of fraudulent behavior. He also has been on the visiting faculty of the University of California, Irvine for 13 years.
A father of four boys, Lobdell is a triathlete who has completed two Ironman races.
* On Saturday, September 18th
* 2:30pm doors open for socializing with refreshments
* 3pm meeting starts in the Patio Room at Vista del Monte, 3775 Modoc Road (Las Positas exit off 101, midway between UCSB & SBCC) in Santa Barbara.
Hosted by the Humanist Society of Santa Barbara, optional $2 student or $5 general donations would be appreciated. Information phone 805-689-2716 or web page.

Jeni and Billy’s “New Old Music” is featured on our Sept. 21st showcase at the Steynberg Gallery in San Luis Obispo and at The Porch in Santa Margarita on September 30th ..........Sharing the duties of songwriting, arranging, and performing, Jeni & Billy bring to the work very distinct musical backgrounds that both draw from the deep well of Appalachian roots music. They tell the stories of miners, preachers, ramblers, lovers, and plain-living folks. .......... http://www.jeniandbilly.com/ ..........Jeni grew up in Southwest Virginia, trained formally with Pulitzer Prize winning Northern Irish poet, Paul Muldoon, and earned a Masters in English Literature.......Billy grew up with the sounds of Tin Pan Alley and his mother’s piano at home in Baltimore, but spent his weekend nights high atop a hill in the nearby community of Oella — the home of Appalachian migrants who came to the city looking for work in the mills. There, among people much like Jeni’s grandparents, Billy fell in love with country music......In the fall of 2008, Jeni & Billy released their first full-length recording project, Jewell Ridge Coal -- a love letter to the forgotten coal mining community where Jeni grew up. Debuting at Number 5 on the International Folk & Bluegrass DJ Chart, Jewell Ridge Coal appeared on top ten lists from LA to New York to Belfast. “Anyone who enjoyed Kathy Mattea’s masterly Coal would almost certainly enjoy Jeni and Billy’s equally well crafted Jewell Ridge Coal. . . the haunting fragile vocals of Jeni and the subtle instrumentation of Billy that are the real highlights”....Songwriters At Play showcases are held every Tuesday, 6:30-9:30pm at the Steynberg Gallery, 1531 Monterey Street, San Luis Obispo, 805-547-0278...Up to eight guest songwriters perform before and after the featured set. There is a $5 cover charge for the showcases at the Steynberg Gallery. All ages are welcome. The gallery has a cafe serving sweets, soups, salads, coffee, tea, beer and wine.

Sierra Club general meeting: "The Greatest Mountaineer." There’s only one contender to equal the climbing prowess of John Muir: Norman Clyde. His superhuman feats in completing first ascents of 130 mountain peaks in America—usually with a ninety-pound pack and iron skillet— will never be equaled. Clyde’s curmudgeonly style only added to his legend. Biographer Bob Pavlik presents a slide program with rare photos, stories about Clyde, and reminiscences of his friends and fellow climbers. Meeting begins with conservation news & letter writing. Steynberg Gallery.

Labyrinth Workshop

On Thursday, September 23, from 6:30 to 8:00 pm, the Santa Maria Huntington’s Disease Support Group will hold a Labyrinth Workshop at IHOP Restaurant
202 Nicholson Ave.
Santa Maria, CA.
This event is open to the public. Cost for this workshop is $20 and refreshments will be served.
Meta Orear, Life Coach and Reiki Master from Full Moon Healing Center in Pacifica, CA, will conduct a workshop to teach basic meditation techniques using labyrinths. Participants will study different labyrinth designs and learn how to create their own simple spiral labyrinths on paper, then layout and experience a Classical 7 Circuit labyrinth through walking, watching or following a lap labyrinth. On Saturday, September 25 there will be a labyrinth field trip. Schedule to be announced at the workshop.
The magic of walking a labyrinth lies in the turns. Every time we change directions, we activate the opposing side of the brain. We physically strengthen the connection between the rational (left) brain and the intuitive/creative (right) brain.
Some of the long-term health benefits produced by walking a labyrinth include lowering blood pressure and breathing rates, reduced incidents of chronic pain, reduction of insomnia, plus many other benefits. These demonstrated health benefits have led hundreds of hospitals, health care facilities and spas to install labyrinths for their patients, clients and the general public.
For more informaiton about the Labyrinth Workshop sponsored by the SMHDSG, contact Melissa Biliardi at mjbiliardi@verizon.net or call 805-441-5618 or 934-9614.

Rod MacDonald became a major part of the 80s Greenwich Village folk renaissance, and performed with Pete Seeger, Tom Chapin, Dave Van Ronk, Suzanne Vega, Doc Watson, John Gorka, and Emmylou Harris.......... Rod frequently headlined at New York's Speakeasy and Folk City clubs, and his memorable performance at The Bottom Line of what became his signature song, "American Jerusalem", was heralded by fans and media alike as a "defining moment in folk music history".......... Throughout an international music career that spans thirty-five years, the award-winning singer/songwriter has performed at many of the world’s finest clubs, coffeehouses and major festivals. Seamlessly weaving beautiful love songs in between his trademark political-socio commentaries, Rod has been described by All Music Guide as “one of the most politically and socially aware lyricists of our times.”
Rod has released nine solo CDs in the U.S. and Europe, including “After The War’, his most recent of some of his most-loved songs. http://www.rodmacdonald.net/ ..........
"... considered by many to be one of the preeminent folk musicians of his time, rivaling the likes of Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen." Tampa Tribune..........

Don't miss out on an amazing opportunity to be part of a collaborative project with current Call For Entries artist, Alejandro Casazi! Casazi’s body of work comprises a diverse range of media (including printmaking, installation, sculpture, video, sound, photography, and works on paper) and may be described as an effort to understand the elemental experiences of human beings (breathing, heartbeat, taste, etc.). Often, the artist’s final product is achieved through collaboration with experts in fields outside the visual arts. F.A.T/LAB (Food, Art, and Technology) is a collective, made up of Alejandro Casazi (Visual Artist), Joel Chapman (Principal Chef), and Christopher Jette (Music Composer), that creates performative culinary experiences. Their work harmonizes sensory experiences (The Visual, The Sound, The Taste) in a carefully choreographed project that highlights the basic human activity of eating. Guests will engage in this “maximalist” dinner event, where an overstimulation of the senses will collide with every dish, taste, sound, and visual element. The installation, on view August 07 – October 03, 2010 as part of Call For Entries 2010, is a staging area for the dinner but also contains photographs, sound, and video projections to be included during the performance. Tickets to attend are $300/person and can be purchased through check or by phone 805-966-5373 x 105. Ticket price directly funds the artists' efforts. Please include your name, address, phone, email, and allergies to specific ingredients or intolerances in the mail or message with payment. Seating is very limited, so reserve your spot(s) and don't miss out! Visit: http://www.fatlabcollective.com/ to learn more about the collective and this one-of-a-kind project.

Set in 1953 and traveling to 1985, this lovely and poignant memory play unfolds through the eyes of Clifford, the only son of Gene, a jazz trumpet player, and Terry, an alcoholic mother. Alternating between their New York City apartment and a smoke-filled music club, Clifford narrates the story of his broken family and the decline of jazz as popular entertainment. Clifford recalls the key moments in his life, such as the day when he, fresh out of college, picked up his first unemployment check and was congratulated by Gene and his band mates. Gene's music career on the big band circuit ultimately crumbles with the advent of Elvis and rock-n-roll. Terry begs him to get a nine-to-five job to support the family, but Gene refuses to enter the "straight world" of regular paychecks, mortgages and security. For Gene, who knows jazz better than his own son, music is not just a job; it's his life. Their marriage slowly dissolves and young Clifford is witness to it all. As things worsen, Clifford assumes the role of parent and throws the hopeless Gene out of his mother's apartment. When an adult Clifford visits Gene in a rundown jazz club after years of separation, he requests that the old man play his mother's favorite song, the old standard "Why was I Born?" Clifford then asks, "Dad, why was I born?" It becomes Clifford's last, heart-breaking plea for his father's love.

CALIFORNIA COASTAL CLEANUP DAY PREPARES
FOR 26th ANNUAL EVENT WITH A CALL TO REDUCE WASTE.
The California Coastal Commission is proud to announce the 26th annual California Coastal Cleanup Day, the state’s largest volunteer event. The event will take place at more than 800 locations around the state on Saturday, September 25th, from 9 AM to Noon. The Cleanup is the State’s largest single effort to remove the debris that has accumulated on our beaches and inland shorelines over the past year, bringing tens of thousands of volunteers out annually to protect the marine wildlife and habitat that can be badly damaged by marine debris.
As Coastal Cleanup Day enters its second quarter century as California’s most successful volunteer event, the Coastal Commission and its many partners around the state are seeking ways to improve upon the Cleanup by reducing the amount of debris created by the Cleanup itself. The first step in this effort is the launching of a BYO (Bring Your Own) campaign designed to encourage volunteers to help decrease the ecological footprint of the Cleanup. Volunteers are being encouraged to turn out to their favorite Cleanup location with their own bucket or reusable bag, gloves, and reusable water bottle, so that they won’t have to use the disposable items that the Commission supplies.

Acclaimed author Samir Selmanovic, PhD will share his views and experiences of current inter-faith relations at 10:00 AM, Saturday, September 25, 2010 in San Luis Obispo. Based in NewYork City, Selmanovic has been active in his support of the proposed Mosque near Ground Zero.
As a resident of Manhattan during the 9/11 attack Selmanovic was honored by the Muslims Against Terrorism organization for mediating Christian-Muslim discussions during the tense period following the attacks. For over ten years Selmanovic has known Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Muslim leader with plans to build an Islamic center on Park Place near the Ground-Zero site.
Selmanovic was born to a secular, non-practicing Muslim family and raised in the atheist communist worldview of the former Yugoslavia. After moving to the United States and earning a doctorate from Andrews University, Selmanovic founded Faith House Manhattan, an inter-religious community that “honors the dignity of difference while seeking to create a religiously diverse community”.
Selmanovic’s book, It's Really All About God: Reflections of a Muslim Atheist Jewish Christian, has been reviewed by the New York Times, Washington Times and others. In his book Selmanovic explores the journey that has taken him from a person of no faith to one able to experience blessings from a variety of religious traditions. These traditions include significant encounters with both the Islamic and Jewish faiths that he believes have enriched his own Christian faith. Selmanovic states, “Religion is going to adjust to an interdependent world where no faith can exist in isolation. That adjustment will take time and be painful, he said, but life itself will find a way.”

Garden Harvest Festival

Transition Paso Robles Food Group is hosting a Harvest Festival at Centennial Park to celebrate the first anniversary of its "Lawns-to-Food" demonstration. The Garden is a partnership with the City's Library and Recreation Department and is a unique form of community garden. Rather than allotting small plots of land to community members to cultivate, the Centennial Park garden demonstrates how to convert a back or front yard from a lawn, requiring a lot of water, to a "food forest" that takes less water. The lawn was allowed to die over the winter by putting down cardboard, mulch and compost. Drought resistant fruit trees, shrubs and vegetables were planted in late winter and spring in a series of workshops. A drip irrigation system was purchased with a grant from the Paso Robles YMCA. Produce harvested over the past 6 months has been donated to the San Luis Obispo Food Bank and to Paso Robles' Loaves and Fishes Program.
At the September 25th Festival, there will be handouts about converting lawns to food producing areas, and tours of the garden to explain the concept of a Food Forest. Participants will pick the last tomatoes, squash and melons and also harvest seeds for next year's garden. They can also help with preparations to put areas of the garden to sleep for winter. Participants can take home some of the harvest and enjoy an organic snack.
Transition Paso Robles Food Group volunteers will be working on Phase 2 of the garden over the next month; newcomers are most welcome. When the new area of the garden has been prepared for winter planting, community groups can ask to have a plot set aside for their use.

Walk for Life Central Coast
San Luis Obispo, Ca
Saturday, September 25, 2010
This year's Walk for Life Central Coast will be held on Saturday, September 25 and will feature Congessional witness Jill Stanek, R.N.; Live Action President, lila Rose; and Rev. Dr. Clenard Childress, founder of Life Education and Resource Network.
The event will begin at 11:30 am at the Mission College Prep. Gym, 682 palm St., with praise and worship led by Rev. Dr. Clenard Childress, music by "Paradise Ministries.
All three guest speakers have risen to national acclaim in the Pro-Life community. Jill Stanek gained notoriety when she testified before Congress in 2000 regarding the abortion practices of the hospital where she worked as a Registered labor and Delivery Nurse. Jill's written testimony has been read several times in key U.S. Congressional debates on the Partial Birth Abortion Ban and born Alive Infants protection Act.
Lila Rose is the President of Live Action,a youth-led movement dedicated to building a culture of life and ending abortion. Lila has led numerous undercover stings through Live Action, exposing corruption and illegal activity within Planned Parenthood, The nation's number one abortion provider. Her efforts have prompted officials in several states to take action against Planned Parenthood. Anyone who attended last year's Walk for Life will remember Rev. Childress as a powerful speaker and passionate Pro-Life advocate.
Last year's Walk for Life drew approximately 1,000 people, as estimated by the the San Luis Obispo Police. Please join us as we gather and walk in love and peace through the streets of downtown San Luis Obispo giving witness to the value and dignity of all human life.

Hailing from upstate New York, where they grew up on a dairy farm in the shadows of the Adirondack Mountains, Eric and Leigh Gibson are a twenty-first century link to the bluegrass tradition of fraternal singing duos. They caught the bluegrass bug early on after their teacher introduced them to the music of Flatt and Scruggs. By the time they were in their 20's requests were pouring in to play shows and festivals, so they quit their day jobs and committed to playing music full time. Their first label was Hay Holler, where they recorded a few albums; in 1998 the brothers won the IBMA Emerging Artist of the Year award. In 2005 they signed with Sugar Hill, subsequently releasing four albums: Bona Fide, which went #1 on the Bluegrass Unlimited chart; Long Way Back Home, Red Letter Day, and 2008's Iron and Diamonds. Their latest album on Compass Records, Ring the Bell, was released in 2009.
The Gibson Brothers and their 3 piece band will be playing in Lompoc on Saturday, September 25, 7:30 pm at the First United Methodist Church, 925 North F St. Tickets, available at the door,are $25 adults and $10 students. Visit the website: www.lompocconcert.org to hear samples of their music. Questions? Call 736-8713 or 736-2287.

“All the works are dramatic, soulful, heart rending and at times, bombastic,” Kreitzer said. “From pieces originally written for 100-piece orchestras, this recital will use transcriptions for voice, violin and piano. The texts are about the struggles, pain, glory and light of life by some of the greatest word masters: Hugo von Hoffmanstal, Alessandro Parisotti, Emile Augier, René de Saint-Marceaux, and Friedrich Ruckert.”
Kreitzer teaches voice and diction at Cal Poly and produces and directs its annual student opera production. She has sung with some of the world’s most renowned opera companies and orchestras. In May 2011, Kreitzer will be the mezzo soloist in Beethoven's 9th Symphony, with the San Luis Obispo Symphony in celebration of the organization’s 50th anniversary.
Albanese was concertmaster and soloist for the Tanglewood Festival Orchestra, Annapolis Symphony Orchestra and Boston Philharmonic. She currently performs and records with the classical crossover ensemble Café Musique. Albanese teaches violin at Cal Poly.
Davies enjoys a dual career as a singer and a pianist. She teaches piano and accompanying at Cal Poly, accompanies the Cuesta Master Chorale and is the choir director/organist at St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Pismo Beach. Her festival appearances include the Oregon Bach Festival, the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival, Idyllwild Summer Arts, the Cabrillo Festival and CSU Summer Arts. She has also appeared in a series of concerts with the New York Philharmonic and in recital at Carnegie's Weill Hall.

On Tour Together:
FRANCOIZ BREUT & MARIANNE DISSARD.
This is the long-awaited first US tour for French chanteuse Françoiz Breut, the original pioneer of the Nouvelle Scène Française. Opening is French-born, Tucson-based Marianne Dissard. The two women are label-mates in Europe (Le Pop Musik) and met ten years ago, when Marianne wrote a couple of songs for Françoiz with music provided by Joey Burns (Calexico) and Howe Gelb (Giant Sand).

FRANÇOIZ BREUT.
The original pioneer of the Nouvelle Scène Française, Françoiz Breut began her career modestly and away from the limelight, as a background singer for her former partner, Dominique A. When A eventually encouraged her to start on her own path in 1997, Breut's unique voice quickly became the ideal ambassador for this blossoming French scene among foreign audiences. Artists wrote for her, from Dominique A to Philippe Katerine and Yann Tiersen, to name but the most famous. Bands from Herman Düne to Calexico recorded and toured with her, and a figure as influential as Howe Gelb (Giant Sand) even wrote a "Letter to Françoiz." Dominique A once said: "Everybody loves Françoiz", and he wasn't just talking about musicians, but about audiences everywhere. This is a voice that's hard to resist.
http://www.rfimusique.com/siteEn/biographie/biographie_6244.asp
With her fourth album À L'Aveuglette, Françoiz Breut is breaking new ground: for the first time, she wrote all her own lyrics.

Direct students of great masters, guitarists Andre Feriante and Brian Nova are sure to mesmerize you in concert with their exquisite groove. Italian-born Feriante is an award-winning composer who is based out of Seattle and performs internationally. He has 11 CDs to his credit and was named in MSN's list of "12 Sexy Bald Men" with the likes of Seal, Taye Diggs and Andre Agassi. Nova performs and records as a solo artist, with his trio, quartet and 12-piece Big Band. He performs annually throughout Europe and in Japan. This legacy concert is 8:00 PM on Wednesday, September 29 at SOhO Restaurant and Music Club in Santa Barbara. Call SOhO for information and reservations at 805.962.7776. Tickets are $12.
Feriante studied with Andres Segovia in Madrid and plays in a neo-flamenco/classical style. Nova’s jazz style developed as he studied and performed extensively with Joe Pass. The sizzling expertise handed down in these musical passages will captivate you.
“Muy bien …wonderful tone.” —Andres Segovia.
"I feel Brian is one of the finest jazz guitarists on the scene!” —Joe Pass, 1994.
About Andre Feriante - www.andreferiante.com / http://www.king5.com/new-day-northwest/Guitarist-Andre-Feriante--102381299.html
With over 20 years of professional experience, Feriante has left his musical mark on the classical, world music and fusion scenes. A cross-over artist in the vein of YoYo Ma or Sting, his performance program represents a bold but fluid musical fusion featuring music from Bach to Leonard Cohen, flamenco improvisation to jazz standards, and even poetry by Federico Garcia Lorca, Rumi and Feriante himself.
About Brian Nova - www.briannova.com
One of Nova's greater accomplishments is the preservation and expansion of the Seattle Jazz Scene. From 1990-1996, Brian headed up the Jazz Program at Seattle University as the Director of Jazz and Guitar Studies, guiding the younger generation to understand and love Jazz.

September 16 - 30, 2010 Every 500 years the church goes through a big upheaval – when there is a conflict and some things are thrown out and others are reclaimed. It has been described as being like a rummage sale! The last one was the Reformation when the Protestant churches began. We're in the middle of one now. This three-week class looks at the last three periods of upheaval and asks what clues, if any, they can give us about what is happening today. Taught by the Rev. Dr. Caroline Hall. Sponsored by the Hollister Institute.
The Hollister Institute offers the local community a variety of classes and workshops covering a broad range of religious and spiritual topics. Classes are open to everyone. No church affiliation is required, just curiosity. For more information, call 534-0827.

Jeni & Billy bring Appalachia to Santa Margarita

Jeni and Billy’s “New Old Music” is featured on our September 30th showcase at The Porch in Santa Margarita, and on September 21st at The Steynberg Gallery in San Luis Obispo .......... Sharing the duties of songwriting, arranging, and performing, Jeni & Billy bring to the work very distinct musical backgrounds that both draw from the deep well of Appalachian roots music .......... They tell the stories of miners, preachers, ramblers, lovers, and plain-living folks. http://www.jeniandbilly.com/ .......... Jeni grew up in Southwest Virginia, trained formally with Pulitzer Prize winning Northern Irish poet, Paul Muldoon, and earned a Masters in English Literature ........... Billy grew up with the sounds of Tin Pan Alley and his mother’s piano at home in Baltimore, but spent his weekend nights high atop a hill in the nearby community of Oella — the home of Appalachian migrants who came to the city looking for work in the mills. There, among people much like Jeni’s grandparents, Billy fell in love with country music .......... In the fall of 2008, Jeni & Billy released their first full-length recording project, Jewell Ridge Coal -- a love letter to the forgotten coal mining community where Jeni grew up. Debuting at Number 5 on the International Folk & Bluegrass DJ Chart, Jewell Ridge Coal appeared on top ten lists from LA to New York to Belfast. “Anyone who enjoyed Kathy Mattea’s masterly Coal would almost certainly enjoy Jeni and Billy’s equally well crafted Jewell Ridge Coal. . . the haunting fragile vocals of Jeni and the subtle instrumentation of Billy that are the real highlights” ........ Songwriters At Play holds showcases are held every Thursday night, 6:30-9:30 at The Porch, 22322 El Camino Real, Santa Margarita, 805-438-3376. The showcase includes one featured act and up to 8 others playing 3-song sets. We pass the tip jar during the featured set, otherwise no cover. All ages are welcome. Have a pizza!

Tales from the Tavern is proud to announce a very special evening with Joan Baez Under the Stars at the Solvang Festival Theater, September 30th at 7:30 PM. The esteemed singer/songwriter series moves to the larger venue of the Solvang Festival Theater from its usual home at The Maverick for this presentation of the legendary folk icon in concert one night only. The Solvang concert promises to be a thrilling prelude to more Under the Stars concerts and presentations planned for the Festival Theater. Baez’s appearance in association with Tales from the Tavern also represents an expanded community experience for the highly regarded “troubadour” series as it steps up to the larger outdoor venue from the pin-drop, cozy confines of its home base at The Maverick Saloon and burnishes its reputation as the “must play” west coast showcase for America’s greatest singer/songwriters. Ms. Baez, who always delivers a stunning performance, has a long and mutually adoring relationship with Santa Barbara County audiences. Tickets for Joan Baez in concert at the Solvang Festival Theater are available at: www.talesfromthetavern.com or by calling 805-688-0383. Doors open at 6:00 PM and patrons may enjoy a box dinner entrée in the open air courtyard.
