Finally, live in Old Pasadena at POP
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.
Posted by: adult sexy halloween costumes | November 16, 2010 9:04 PM
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 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.
