Thanks billclausen...you always get it right!
WTF!
I am a freshman at CC this year because of the confidence I gained at Adult Ed.
My sister always said I was stupid...too stupid for school...not teachable. It took me decades to get over my fear of school. But I did. This is just an insanely un-principled move. Right now...with all the economic shape shifting ,we desperately need places to go and find our true purpose,our passion,our path.
How did this happen without any real warning?
What can we do to stop further cuts and bring back programs?
This just breaks my heart.
My last writing class had over 35 people in it.
All ages.all ethnicities,all classes...all learning...all together...it was a brilliant experience...life changing.
How can we help?

Okay so I shop at Whole Foods in Santa Monica..sometimes...but to be honest...I am a loyal Trader Joe-e,Lazy Acres-ette,Tri-County a couple of the chains to fill in the gaps. I Like to "support local" as much as possible. Whole Foods has nice people working there...but I wonder if they can afford to shop there? It is a little "Dean and Deluca" for my taste...I do love a good cheese and nice cut of meat or fish...but not to the extent that I can in good conscience spend $25 a pound for either...If you live in LA and New York you can a afford WF because you are making NY and LA wages...but here in SB..the income level is STRIKING below the average in the meg-lith cities..personally..I like what I have.. a nice Tamale lady that comes by once a week...best Pork tamales...ever...nice folks at TJ's...I will probably go to WF to try some really good cheeses...and buy Lilies (they have GREAT Lilies)...Wild Oats tanked here...time will tell...it will depend on taste and $$$$$....many of both.
On Holy Food!

Really sad to hear it was not recorded.
What was so amazing is that the people looked so "mom and pop... real"...and then their voices soared!
Opera is a funny thing...you either get it and love it or....
I loved it
Thank you!

I get Tom's concern...and I certainly feel for Jonathan.
But the venue itself is not that great a performance space.
Acoustically...it ain't great. Not a lot of backstage area.
Cold.Noisy neighbors(when there are bands next door).
Parking.
Maybe they can split the season somehow.
Try the space out a couple of shows this season and then make the deal solid?
The other thing is that the venue is used during the Film Fest and many theatre ensembles do smaller and larger productions...I would try to find a way that it could be used by "the many"...instead of just.."the few"
Theatre companies can get pretty demanding once installed...I have been there...both sides of the table.
I really think the Ensemble could use a larger house...but I also think Jonathan could hire more local actors (I am just sayin)...I think the Victoria Hall is important to many people for many reasons...Tom is pretty smart and I think I get his vibe on this.
In the end you want to keep the space accessible to the community and not just one group.
Easy does it fellas.
Good luck.

Life imitates art...art imitates life...and it goes on and on and on and on.
Wonder what Dennis is thinking?
Bail or no Bail?

We do the "Mom and Son" tour every few weeks.
Graumans Chinese for the opening of Harry Potter.
Yang Chows in Chinatown for the legendary "slippery shrimp"..( I don't normally like deep fried Chinese but this is THE exception)...We stay In Santa Monica where there is plenty to amuse. Took my 12 year to Chez Jays ,where I am a third generation veteran. Jay died this past year and nightly you can find some old sailor or actor weeping into his bucket of scotch. We hang out in Venice (gerd your loins!) and the Pier...the Santa Monica pier at night is a wonderland of sight and sound.
The infusion of modern "theme" restaraunts is annoying for the old locals but there are old favorites...just under the pier...sshhhh. We ALWAYS take the coast higway...where I bore my son with reminisecences of my life growing up in Santa Monica. Sometimes stopping at Neptunes Net for ceviche,fish and chips and frozen custard ( to die for)...on the way home we may get off the freeway in Ventura to get a groovy-liciously-melt-in-your-mouth Steak and Cheese at a tiny postage stamp joint just a hop off the HIghway (hold the marinara...who's idea was marinera on a Philly Cheese?). Next week we are staying in Beverly Hills at the Viceroy (if I can get the deal on the room...great night time pool action where dining meets in poolside cabana's by candle light) and hitting a dodgers game on Friday night. We did this a couple of weeks ago and a Dodgers game is a really "home town" event....love the fire works ...hate the traffic...welcome to LA...thanks MK...we all derserve a break.

I used to really love going to More Mesa.
And to IVCONCERNED.
You really don't get it...at all!
I don't get the need to be mean just for sake of being mean.
I feel really sad for you.

Thanks "web admin" for pointing out "the wall"...lots of folks don't know about it.
See "Citizen McCaw"...the film...nice doc about all of this...and description of "the wall" is quite informative.
My family was once attached to the News Press....what a stinking-crying shame...we should call it the "SB Fishwrapper"
At least then it would be useful!
