Re: “Thursday Thrust”
Bohemian: Stupid article to write up because they now, have been ripped off. FaceBook photo of thief, burglarized of a $10 K dollar Yamaha mixer and other sound techie gear. But you had to get it out there....Loose lips create rip-offs...
Re: “Deadwood Hwy.”
Alejandro Moreno S._______ Non-trainable?.....I smell french fries from biodiesel...The Sonoma County Recorders office describes the parcel owned by the State Of California. Good luck in your thinking.
Re: “I'm Just a Po'Boy”
Great story young Nicolas. I might steal NSFD. Hilarious.
Re: “American Psychos”
Having had a few years membership in NRA I finally decided to just say no to the BS and quit them. All they want is more $$$. I asked them why didn't they ask Bush and Cheney for a few million after they walked out with over 11 billion in war profits from their watch.
I do own a collection of semi auto rifles and WWII combat rifles that are not for hunting. I like to go out and burn off a few clips and I do keep the weapons for self protection. I hunted a lot as a boy until a tour in Vietnam which caused me to swear to never take another life be it animal or human unless it was to save a life, mine or anothers.
I served as a fed LEO for some years and never fired my arms once while on duty. I was with a fellow LEO who shot a unarmed man carrying a surveyors stake he was carving on to make a play sword for his little boy. Officially the guy charged the trigger happy LEO with a sword? Shooter was exonerated from any charges as it was a clean shooting, even though the victim was not wanted on any warrant we went to serve at wrong address. I'll wager money most hunters aren't members of NRA or Tea Party members. We all cannot be John Wayne or Rambo. But some of us did serve our country and experienced what a firearm can do to another human being. I still have nightmares about it. To blame Obama for all the firearms sold to Mexico is a joke. It is a no brainer that firearms dealers on the borders of Texas and Arizona are the real blame. But hey don't go there it is all about American free enterprise, right?
Re: “Deadwood Hwy.”
Just because something is legal, doesn't make it right. Legality is a cop-out for when something smells bad, and feels wrong. If it looks bad, and smells bad, then there is something in there that's rotten. Trust your nose.
And just because you were never employed as a contractor, is not a reason to discount someone's opinion on this matter. Those trees belonged to the public, period. What their value is relative to the size of the project does not diminish their importance, nor does it diminish the stench, public or private.
Re: “Here It Comes”
Sounds like a good place to stay away from. Never heard of most music performers? What happened to the Dream Bowl concerts with three top bands for $2?
Re: “A First-Class Institution”
What a fantastic article, so very insightful. Thank you,
Re: “My Yolk Is Heavy”
The wisdom of one's body is the best guide as to how one should eat. Some of us need to eat prior to beginning in earnest our day; some of us need protein, but can do without carbs and fat, at the start of the day; others can go for many hours after waking up without any negative, and perhaps possible, effects.
Nearing 60, I don't need to eat "first thing in the morning" like I did twenty or more years; and, not eating until noon, or later, feels right for me.
We do well by our body by listening to it about hunger—genuine hunger versus anxiety-induced or other psychologically-induced "need" to eat.
If you're not hungry at your traditional breakfast time, don't eat.
Thanks for another point of view about breakfast's necessity, one of many food and eating myths having achieved inappropriate unquestioned and potentional harmful status among too many of us.
Re: “Piling It On”
Steve Pile is not only extremely talented, he is a committed teacher, sharing his many gifts. Glad to see this article about him.
Re: “Straight Up! A Charbay Vodka Cocktail Competition”
If this year's event is anything like last year's - it's a must attend, especially if you like vodka cocktails and lots of people dressed to have lots of fun.
Re: “Straight Up! A Charbay Vodka Cocktail Competition”
Really great event last year and, with Speakeasy theme, it should be even better this year!
Re: “Straight Up! A Charbay Vodka Cocktail Competition”
Great event! Can't wait!
Re: “Bottling the Tradition”
Sorry to the Guayaki supporters, but this was a great and very funny read. It's worth looking at how the people who first made use of Yerba Mate and how they regard what we've done with it. Reminds me a bit of how tobacco was used traditionally and what we've done with it since.
Re: “Feb. 22-24: Tattoos & Blues Convention at the Flamingo Resort Hotel”

Re: “Bottling the Tradition”
http://www.yerbamate.com/ really, they are awesome. you NEED to check out their tea!! I love their Yerba Mate!!!
Re: “Bottling the Tradition”
Boo Boo Hiss to the uninspiring cover story written by Jay Schafer. His angle of traditionalism from the Argentine perspective seemed to be just a thinly veiled dislike of the Guayaki company. It was petty and very unsupportive of a local company.

Re: “And the Winner Is . . .”
Curious as to why Craven would doubt that SSU students would see shows outside of SSU. Young actors in Sonoma County make up an incredibly huge part of the theatre scene outside of scholastic environments. It's hers and Lichtenstein's self centered, exclusive and closed mindset that's keeping the North Bay theatre community shut out from the world of legitimate Bay Area theatre. Even though it might not be a perfect model for an awards group, Briano's efforts to be inclusive and celebrate the community are inspiring. And it's not surprising that it's a young person championing unity in our arts community. Much of the most exciting, effective and daring theatre being produced in the North Bay comes from companies that are largely run by folks under 40. I say Bravo.
