A live band, film clips, and storytelling, all that's needed is an appearance by Paul or Ringo. The rest is left to your imagination. They call it a Rockumentary not a tribute concert. You have to decide. This is a great way to share some memories with younger family members. Details at http://www.pacrep.org

This orchestra has been touring the USA and the world and playing the great music of the early 20th century. In addition they sometimes add a cinematic aspect. They have come to us for Halloween with two "spooky"silent films one by Buster Keaton and the other starring Laurel and Hardy. Should be a delightfully campy […]

Days are shortening, nights are cooler, fall is coming and we start thinking about where did I put those sweaters? But the Farmers markets are still going strong.

If you love trains or know someone who loves trains, this is the place for you (or that person). The first weekend of each month the dedicated volunteers at the museum open the doors of their exceptional diorama/ train exhibit and answer questions about it and the local railroad history. These are some knowledgeable folks […] You may be forgiven if you think that this is a Farmers Market. They are outdoors also. But this is more focused on non-food items and meeting the makers of the products. This is a great time to stock up on those unique holiday gifts and decorations. The first weekend of each month the Monterey and Salinas Valley Railroad Museum opens to the public. Check out their elaborate setup of the historic rail lines through our valley and the actual "rolling stock" on display. The folks there are knowledgeable and friendly and love sharing their passion.

If that name doesn't get your attention, nothing will. Booker is an avant garde artist in "contemporary experimental electronic music", fitting in with the focus of the musicians usually presented at Indexical. Like those others, it would be best if you check their description of Stardrum's performances. Do that at http://www.indexical.org |
