If you drove by the City Plaza last Sunday you would have noticed a dozen or so people protesting. It wasn’t your usual protest though. They were holding signs that said “Honk if you hate Scientology” and were part of a internet based group called Anonymous. The underground group is targeting the church because of the nefarious extremes The Church of Scientology goes to censor any criticism. Most recently this leaked Tom Cruise video which prompted a flurry of cease and desist letters to popular websites.

Live at the Blue Room Theatre ‘Billy and the Kid’

bazooka — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 05:34:10 +0000

Two weekends only, an original late night production, locally written and produced.

Mount up with one of America’s most beloved folk heroes and mass-murderers in this fantasmagorical romp through old New Mexico: a land ruled by unrelenting blue skies and savage outlaws. In one lonesome night on the range the lines between the myth and the mundane disappear as a toad becomes a boy, a boy becomes a man and a man becomes a legend.

Written and produced for the stage by local craftsmen Benjamin Allen and Maxon Higbee and featuring the talents of Gorgeous Armada’s Anthony DiPasqua, Vext Intent’s Shawn Wilson, NaySayer’s Jeremy Votava, Ol’ Yeller’s Zeda Samuel and Paul of the Mangrove Bottle Shop, the show promises to provide the audience with an experience unlike anything before.

The show runs two weekends only; Friday and Saturday February 8th and 9th, 15th and 16th. Showtime is 10:30 nightly with the doors opening at 10:00.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door and can be purchased at the box office, at the Blue Room website or at the Mangrove Bottle Shop.

As advertised, each ticket holder will be entitled to free beans but remember to bring your own plate and spoon!

In Search of Tacos

The title of the post might sound strange around here. It is hard to imagine having to search for tacos, when there are taco trucks and restaurants around just about every corner, not to mention the tradition of weekly family taco nights at home.

Of course, we don’t really have to search for tacos, as we would rare gems or wild fungi. The kind of search I am talking about is more like a Google search, finding just the right one out of the zillions, where the “right one” is always changing based on always changing criteria.

We are a taco eating people, and as such, we should record, share, and increase our knowledge of taco eating. I will be happy to see the taco database online. I have heard there is such a thing, and I have heard recently that it will be at our service soon. Here’s to progress! Here’s to tacos!

Popular elf historian and author Sore Throat to stop by Chico on world tour book signing at Chico Cabaret on Dec. 21 and 22 at midnight.
Mysterious and reclusive elf historian Sore Throat isn’t so reclusive that he can’t stop by Chico on his world book signing tour this December. “Well, I’ll be passing by Chico on my way to scenic Redding anyway. I got relatives there.” said Sore Throat under conditions of anonymity.

Peace be with ye all.

- In the beginning the Earth was inhabited by majestic elves. In the beginning the elves were happy and used their special powers for good… like they could make sweet toys and make just about any thing taste like peppermint and oh yeah, they could conjure spirits and had mind control. That was before the great meteor and the alien seed that came with it. That was before the Humans.

-Excerpt from, “Three Hundred Million Years of Culture Lost and all

I Got was This Shirt!” By Elf Historian Sore Throat.

I’m gonna have to do a little detective work and check this guy out for myself. Gotta go to a baby shower now, however, i well blog more on the phone interview with Sore Throat later.

In the mean time check out this video.
