• Rohrabacher Comes Out Against Meetings

  The Los Angeles Daily News reported yesterday that the "newly empowered California House Democrats are extending an olive branch to a group that has shunned them for years: California Republicans." A meeting is scheduled for this afternoon when, in the basement of the U.S. Capitol, members of the two groups will try to play nice. […] The hope, said meeting organizer Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, is that lawmakers will ultimately strategize bipartisan ways that Californians can bring hom

• I Grew Up in Huntington

  All the great cities in America have great songs to go along with them; classic personifications that truly capture the city’s personality. New York City has "New York, New York" by Sinatra of course, Tony Bennett, with his brand of eternal class offered up "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." There’s Randy Newman’s, "I Love LA," which must have been written either ironically or at whatever time of day that there’s no traffic. Hell, even San Jose was honored by singer and Psychic Friend,

• Travel Blogger Predicts Air Fares Between OC and SF Will Drop

  BNET (Business Net) travel blogger Brett Snyder predicts Virgin America's new presence at John Wayne Airport, coupled with Southwest Airlines' expansion of flights to and from San Francisco, will result in lower air fares between SFO and SNA, whose bustling terminal is shown here.That's crazy talk for anyone used to ponying up the big bucks to fly into Frisco (or, if you're like me, taking advantage of lower fares to Oakland or San Jose). Indeed, Snyder concedes United and American have "made a

• Videos come back to MTV

  Well, kinda...For those who can stay up late, MTV has announced a novel concept called AMTV. The show, which airs from 3-9 a.m. Monday through Thursday, does nothing but air music videos for six hours. Call me crazy, but this might be the start of something new. I mean, I could even see this expanding into hours when people are actually awake.I'm not sure if AMTV is going for something particular because two nights ago I saw Billy Idol's "White Wedding" followed by some Kelly Clarkson song. Some

• A History Making Dick and Irvine's Pioneering Pigeons

  On Saturday, Dick Cheney assured himself a place in history by becoming only the second sitting vice president ever to gun down a man. While hunting quail at a ranch in Texas, Cheney shot Harry Whittington, another member of the hunting party, apparently mistaking the 78 year old attorney and big-money Republican party donor for either a small bird or a patch of empty space. For reasons known only to Bwana Dick and his loyal retainers, the public was not informed of his new historical status for

  Few local artists provoked as much outpouring of good vibes as Janice Lowry Gothold, whom God called to her reward Sept. 20. The woman, a continual presence in our pages and Best of OC 2007 winner for Visual Art, was a walking smile, a gal with so much talent that the Smithsonian has her personal journals and correspondence as part of its permanent collection of American Arts and Letters, a testament to Janice's genius.My Janice moment: Early in the morning at the Gypsy Den, getting some coffee

• Miley Cyrus in Anaheim Tomorrow, Next Stop...Hell?

  Miley Cyrus is really popular. Hit songs, hit movie, hit TV shows, she even "wrote" a "book." But not everyone is quite so enthralled with the teen pop star/country singer/actress/author/maker of somewhat questionable career decisions. Like these folks, who protested outside her show in San Jose on Sunday.

  Mama's Magic Studio is the work of stay-at-home mom Jen Johnson from up north in San Jose. When she's not chasing after the little ones, she's crafting up a storm for her Etsy shop. Autumn Sunshine bracelet by Jen Johnson of Mama's Magic Studio​ I know it feels like far from autumn during the day lately, but I'm almost sure I saw some leaves that had turned this color falling from a tree in MIssion Viejo yesterday. After the jump, check out some more great pieces by this crafty mom.
