Ever wanted to drink champagne on a zeppelin flying over the wine country? Here’s your chance.…

Tomato, Tomahto, Tomatoe, KJ Festival Shows it's all Good

Nicolas Grizzle — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 11:42:00 -0700

It’s tough to pick one standout memory from the Kendall Jackson 2012 Heirloom Tomato Festival. There were dozens of chefs serving a variety of tomato-themed samples, a copious amount of wine, a great Latin band, the giant centerpiece tent with over a hundred different types of tomatoes cut up for sampling, the lovely weather, the interesting people, the interesting outfits, celebrity sightings, beautiful scenery—it’s almost too much to take in at once.…

Free Tickets to Green Center Opening Weekend

Nicolas Grizzle — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:24:37 -0700

Free concert tickets are always good, and free concert tickets to the Green Music Center’s opening weekend Sept. 30 at 2pm are very good. But there’s a catch—these tickets won’t actually get you into the main hall to watch the concert.…

Rohnert Park's 50th Anniversary 'Celebration'

Nicolas Grizzle — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:00:00 -0700

V-Day Does Media

Gretchen Giles — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 04:00:00 -0800

This email just landed in our editor@ box, cc'd to every media outlet in Sonoma County, including quite a few members of the Petaluma Argus-Courier staff. The V-Day Petaluma folks wonder why they don't get more love?

I've been pitching to several pubs, including Here for the past month. I think the Sonma Cnty Gazette got tired of my messages and finally responded that they had received and were awared.…

Dinolove

Daniel Hirsch — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 04:00:00 -0700

Recently, I read an interview with comedienne Kristin Schaal (the hilarious and creepily sexual #1 fan on Flight of the Conchords) in which she stated: “Wolves were so eighties.” Something about this observation struck me as incredibly astute. Their manes of gray and wild eyes could flow nicely with the feathered coifs of any classic 80s hair band.…

Alliance, is calling on people to bring "signs, rainbows, candles,

matches, anything you feel will help express your point in a peaceful

and respectful manner."

Joining the Petaluma Youth Pride Coalition will be IMPACT!, a local
