Film, Times & Events: Week of May 28
Steep Ravine
When local folk and bluegrass quartet Steep Ravine prepared to record their debut full-length album, Trampin’ On, they wanted to make sure it was a very different experience than the one they had recording their first EP a few months earlier.
Mine, All Mine
Gold Rush town inspires Little Hurricane’s new album
Pop-up Dining Pops Up Everywhere
So many of us loved last season’s pop-up breakfasts at the Westside Farmers Market that—you guessed it—there will be more.
Foodie File: Mission St. BBQ
Barbeque is the subject of much passion and debate. How does one best smoke meat? How long should it smoke? Mission St. BBQ is the latest barbeque joint in town, but the owners aren’t new to the game.
2010 Reserve Chardonnay
On a particularly warm late afternoon, a friend came over for a visit and I opened up a Clos LaChance Chardonnay, which is just the ticket to enjoy over a chat – along with some good cheese and crackers.
Gemini: A Line of Light Beams
We’re half way through 2014, which always occurs in Gemini, sign of duality and the two brothers, Castor and Pollux, (one dimming, one growing in light, signifying personality and Soul lights). Each of the 12signs provides humanity with a distinctly different light (message), revealing twelve personality-Soul interactions.

Santa Cruz has pride in its Pride. As organizers celebrate their 40th annual event this year, they’ve never let our local Pride celebration lose the grassroots, downright neighborly feel that connects it so tightly to the community. San Francisco’s event feels like going to a show. Santa Cruz’s feels like a family picnic.

Mine, All Mine
Gold Rush town inspires Little Hurricane’s new album When listening to Gold Fever—the new album from San Diego duo Little Hurricane, who play the Catalyst on Thursday—there are moments when you cannot help but be transported back to California’s Gold Rush years. The album is rugged and raw, and the songs feel so earthy that you...
Strangers Out of Time
‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ doesn’t play fair with its mutants It’s just not the same, the fifth time around. Merging the plot of Chris Marker’s La Jetee with the adventures of the usual gang of mutants, X-Men: Days of Future Past continues the unresolvable debate over minority acceptance, between the anxious liberal Charles Xavier...

Foodie File: Mission St. BBQ
Barbeque is the subject of much passion and debate. How does one best smoke meat? How long should it smoke? Mission St. BBQ is the latest barbeque joint in town, but the owners aren’t new to the game. They’ve been at it about a decade with their other establishments: Aptos Street BBQ, BBQ 152 in Gilroy,...
2010 Reserve Chardonnay
On a particularly warm late afternoon, a friend came over for a visit and I opened up a Clos LaChance Chardonnay, which is just the ticket to enjoy over a chat – along with some good cheese and crackers. An upbeat, refreshing wine, this Chardonnay is full of tropical fruit—pineapple, banana and pear—with a flinty mineral...

Inside Out
A brief history of gay pride in Santa Cruz As we prepare to celebrate the 40th annual Santa Cruz Pride this coming weekend, now the largest regular political gathering in Santa Cruz County, it’s hard to believe that those first marches in the 1970s required security to protect the gutsy few out Santa Cruzans and their...
