• Monday's Headlines & Surprises: 200 million pixel TV!!!

  Is that a freckle? Reporter David Haldane finds that UC Irvine used a $300,000 federal grant to build a screen 100 times more detailed than the current best high-definition television. Its 23-by-9-foot display has 200 million pixels and is called the HIPerWall, according to the Times story. Students and researchers (like Stephen F. Jenks) have used the monitor in medical cases, to aid rescue teams at disaster sites and--imagine this sports nuts: watch the Super Bowl as if you're on the field. A

• Upcoming: Jewlicious Festival in Long Beach

  Ladies and gents, believers and gentiles: Once again, it's time for the Jewlicious Fest in Long Beach, so mark Feb. 29 through March 2 on your calendars. If you haven't heard of Jewlicious, it's basically the Woodstock of Judaism, with three days of music, food and Kiddush Wine. A festival for the artist and the curious college student. One highlight of the fest will be Brooklyn rapper Matisyahu, famous for his hit song "King without a crown," who will be speaking about spirituality. The event

• Henry T. Nicholas predicted his future in the Weekly

  Billionaire Henry T. Nicholas III is the co-founder of Irvine computer chip powerhouse Broadcom, but judging from his indictment on drug distribution and securities fraud charges that was unsealed Thursday, he'd rather be a hard-partying rock star. According to the indictment, Nicholas was at Woodstock, maaan. Not the good Woodstock, but the shitty Woodstock '99, the one that ended in a fiery riot. What was he doing there? The indictment says Nicholas gave a technology executive ecstasy witho

• Register Recalls OC's Woodstock

  Interesting article this week in the Register about what the paper calls Orange County's Woodstock, an August 1968 two-day rock concert at the Orange County Fairgrounds. Canned Heat, the Byrds, Jefferson Airplane and Tiny Tim headlined the show, which drew thousands of hippies and hundreds of cops. The story also mentions a concert a few years later in Laguna Beach that was organized by the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, a Laguna-based group of surfers who sent invitations to fellow travelers up

• Puff Puff Passing at Coachella

  I've been to one Coachella and that was in 2003. Although the motive behind the hellacious trek from Long Beach to Indio was to see the first Stooges gig in nearly three decades, I ended up witnessing something way cooler than a shirtless Iggy. Elephants. You heard me. I saw a train of circus elephants walking in unison across the empty field behind an area where White Stripes fans were watching their beloved duo fight through sound issues that stemmed from an unforgiving desert wind.

• Ronny Kicks Ass

  "They're rookies," some one said about the promoters as the DJ fudged Ronny Rios's entrance song twice before finally hitting the only track that would coax young Ronny out from his warm up room and into the ring. Born and raised in Santa Ana, 19-year-old Ronny missed the Olympic team by a hair in late 2007, and went pro late last year. There was nothing remotely Olympian or drab last night as the sun set over the grassy Woodstock terrace at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. It was all light sho

  Photo courtesy of the Chance TheaterHair: Give peace a Chance!​Blame the 40th anniversary of Woodstock this summer for the fact that the OC Weekly didn't put the Chance Theater's production of Hair on its must-review list. Just one more aromatic homage in a summer filled with Baby Boomer nostalgia.But, fortunately for the Anaheim Hills theater, lots of other people saw it--and more than several really dug it, because it's garnered six 2009 Ovation Awards.The Ovation Awards, which are chosen by
