• Rohrabacher Cuts and Runs

  Congressman Dana Rohrabacher had his ass handed to him yesterday in not one but two debates with opponent Jim Brandt. At least, I think he did. It's kinda hard to find out. Why is that? It's because the only mention of Rohrabacher in the past day's press is as Tan Nguyen's former opponent. Damn it. I told you Tan was nothing but a dangerous distraction. Oh well; you Nguyen some, you lose some. It doesn't matter what Brandt wins, whether it's arguments, debates, or friggin' triathlons--his race

• Tuesday's Headlines. No Surprises: More Street dirt

  More Street dirt: In his pre-treasurer-tax collector days, Chriss Street allegedly billed (and double-billed!) a bankrupt trust "for thousands of dollars in expenses, including a $3,584 laptop computer and $1,200 in office supplies," reports Ronald Campbell at the Register. The records collected by The End of the Road Trust show that Street charged thousands more for trips, gourmet meals and a personal trainer. The trust is suing Street for $7 million.

• What you missed over the weekend: Part XI

  Dave Segal moved into Detroit Bar on both Friday and Saturday nights: "Free the Robots' thrilling [Friday] live show blew away Afrika Bambaataa's moldy DJ set. Local upstarts overshadowed a legend!" And on Sat, "DJs Josh One, Hyder, James Pants and Peanut Butter Wolf spun loads of great hip-hop cuts and freaky dance tracks that didn't fit neatly into any categories." Saturday took our interns Patrick Chavis and Nate Jackson to Cal State Long Beach for the Ludacris concert/protest and the Costa

• Freddie Hubbard, R.I.P.

  Freddie Hubbard died today at Sherman Oaks Hospital. He was 70. I've always been a freak for the jazz trumpeter and still remember the first time I caught him live, in the early '80s at, of all places, Carnation Gardens at Disneyland--about as far as one can get from a smoke-filled gin joint. Back in those days, the Anaheim theme park drew some pretty righteous performers for jazz and blues festivals that had acts sprinkled all over the Magic Kingdom. I also recall seeing Leon Russell

The festival continues this Saturday, Feb. 28 and runs until next Saturday, March 8. There is a total o

• Hey CSULB Students, Don't Bother With the Surgi Masks, They're Useless!

  After essentially quarantining a CSULB student who has received a "probable positive test" (um, is it or isn't it?) for piggy flu, health officials on the Long Beach campus handed out surgical face masks to students on campus who have "been paranoid," according to a Press Telegram report. Only problem with that approach is that those masks are basically useless, at least according to this report by health nut Mark Adams, and another report today by the BBC. Even the CDC doesn't know if they're o

• Go Vegan with Animal Acres in Long Beach Tomorrow

  I didn't know that International Vegetarian Day falls on Oct. 9--I didn't even know there was an International Vegetarian Day (is there an International Carnivore Day?). To celebrate this day, Animal Acres--the Los Angeles-area farm that saved a piggy I bought from the cleaver--will hold a fundraiser at Cal State Long Beach tomorrow. Tickets are $35 presale, $45 at the door, but catering comes from a lot of local vegan eateries in the Long Beach area and you get to support a cool organization. S

• Eight Questions with Rick Berry

  ​Rick Berry's a lot of things. Some of these things include jazz trumpeter (currently in the Hollywood Canteen Swing Band), political candidate (he ran for Long Beach city council) and gardener (he's got a killer backyard garden). But to the rest of the world, he's got a new title that is pretty darn spiffy--marketing manager for the Long Beach Symphony Orchestra. If you're like me, you're wondering why a jazzman is getting in bed with classical music. I just had to ask.1. Tell the people a li

• Theater Review: 'Festen' at the Queen Mary

  California Repertory Company​The rest of America's loss is Long Beach's gain when it comes to Festen, currently playing onboard the Queen Mary in the new home of California Repertory Company. Cal Rep, the graduate theater arm of Cal State Long Beach's theater program, has bounced around at several venues over the past five years, but has apparently found a new roost in the Royal Theater, a very cool 99-seat theater tucked at the back end of the venerable ocean liner that's called Long Beach ho

• [UPDATED] UC Budget Protest at UCLA is Rowdy. Cal State Protest in Long Beach? Not So Much

  ​UPDATE: University of California Regents voted for a 32 percent tuition increase today, with a dissenting vote coming from the student-regent. The vote was taken and debated over loud protests outside from hundreds of demonstrators. Our big sis' LA Weekly reports one arrest today. See also the Los Angeles Times LA Live blog post and their photos here.
