I complained in a column in our Cheers magazine several months ago about the decades-long dearth of live entertainment in Old Pasadena. Yes, the British Invasion-inspired young rock band playing Zep covers in the Old Towne Pub was fine — and it was the only game in town that night, along with a sax man at Red, White and Bluezz.
Otherwise it was all canned.
Pasadenan Monica Lee Copeland, pictured above, and cohorts are out to change all that in a new monthly performance series called Indelible Ink at POP, the champagne (and sliders and deviled eggs and dessert) bar at 33 E. Union St.
Tuesday night’s lineup was a revelation. This isn’t just live entertainment — it’s an eclectic melange that, finally, gives going out on a weekday evening in Pasadena a good name. Music, spoken word, dance, the indescribably in-between — what a night. Plus, unlike so many open-mike evenings down at the corner bar, this was ridiculously professional. Not only was there not a lull between acts — they had actually rehearsed it, with one performer seamlessly following another onto the small stage.
Singer Eric Schwartz, below, started out — he’s a funny guy, primarily, and a good guitarist as well — he recently won the top award from a national comic-songwriting competition for his tune about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky with an unprintable title.
Then San Diego rapping poet Gill S.O.T.U, also below, who knows all his verse by heart and gave a strong performance.
Then Monica herself, a former national champeen of the slam poetry style that she helped create.
Then belly dancer-plus Jennifer Tehani Sarreal, also below, beating the pants off as it were your average Middle Eastern feast show.
Monica performed again, as did poets Swil Kanim and Taffy Wallace.
The audience was enthralled throughout, and properly so.
May this beat go on forever. And it will go on for now for sure, last Tuesdays of every month excepting December, beginning around 6:30 p.m. Go to www.indelibleink.net for ticket information.

The Zune concentrates on being a Transportable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’s going to do even better in those areas, however for now it’s a improbable method to manage and take heed to your music and movies, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its internet searching and apps. If these sound more compelling, maybe it is your finest choice.
Arms down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It is an enormous collection of all types of apps vs a relatively unhappy choice of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, however I’m undecided I’d wish to guess on the longer term if this aspect is essential to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
This is a great review. I also believe that PH is the number tube for xxx. However, my preferences have shifted to sites like http://gay.pornhub4u.com which focus on niches more.
windows pcs outsell macs in droves…. And like several said most individuals obviously prefer windows, or if they didn’t the results would be reversed.
Excellent quality lots of variety http://www.pornhub4u.com

Actually the New York Jets are one of the top three leading Super Bowl contenders at the moment. I would make a Superbowl futures bet on them while the odds are really high.

Good day. First of all – nice blog! Secondly this article was also good and interesting to read, but I don’t think everything you have said is real truth. I will need to google about few things you have mentioned in your artcile to make sure. But anyway thanks for the great effort and good luck on writing other articles. P.S sorry for bad English, I aren’t English native speaker.
I really like the colors here on your blog. did you design this yourself or did you outsource it to a professional?
I am extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like this one these days..

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I am studying on this some for a paper I am writing great writers like you make my owrk much easier.
