When you’re out in the high-desert wilderness of Southern California, sometimes you will encounter a rattle snake. Remember, they’re more scared of you, as a gigantic human, than you are of them. They really don’t want any conflict. So be careful not to poke your hands into any areas where a rattler may be residing.

“Enjoy Yourself” features music by Jen Sygit as a group of care-free friends go on a hiking adventure to Cedar Creek Falls.

The Jefferson Starship appeared in San Diego to perform their music on September 8, 2010, the day the lights went out in San Diego. But the show did go on.

In honor of Veterans’ Day, I am posting this poem by Steve Kowit, a beloved San Diego poet and teacher, and a veteran of the Korean War.

September 8th, 2011, a day of infamy in San Diego – the night the lights went out. Jefferson Starship was scheduled to play in front of a large audience to gather near the new cruise ship terminal, and mark the ten-year anniversary of 9/11. Many people didn’t show up thinking that the concert would be scheduled. Well, it wasn’t. They played to a small, intimate audience. Truly stellar!

The music of rock gods, Led Zeppelin, will never die. Monsters of Rock will make sure of that.

If you read People Magazine secretively, like I do, then you enjoy checking out what the celebrities are up to from time to time. This little Pocket Production takes you to the 2011 San Diego Comic Con where you will enjoy cameos of Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Rob Lowe, Mark Hamill, Napoleon Dynamite actors Jon Heder and Efren Ramirez, and even the voice of Bruce Wayne and Stool Bend Mayor – Adam West.

“Bad to the Bone” is performed by San Diego rock band, Banned From Eden. And introducing “Sushi Girl,” Cortney Palm, which stars Tony Todd and Mark Hamill – icon of virtue – as a mad, mad man.
