This is All a Dream We Dreamed: An Oral History of the Grateful Dead at Lafayette Library on Jan 7th

January 4, 2016 4:30 pm

This is All a Dream We Dreamed: An Oral History of the Grateful Dead:

Lafayette Library and Learning Center
3491 Mt. Diablo Blvd, Lafayette
Thursday, January 7th, 2016
7:00pm – 8:30pm | $15

This epic oral history, by Blair Jackson and David Gans, of the 50-year-old band uses multiple perspectives to tell the story of a group that began as a San Francisco jug band of penniless hippies, morphed through multiple musical incarnations, and created a colorful psychedelic subculture. The more than 100 voices in the book include members of the Dead, including deceased guitarist/de facto leader Jerry Garcia, and keyboardists Ron Pigpen McKernan and Brent Mydlandand their collaborators as well as business partners and fans. Jackson and Gans relied on new and archival interviews, as well as other published and unpublished sources. To their credit, the authors focus as much on the creation, recording, and marketing of music as they do on the ingestion of hallucinogens. The result is a solid, engaging chronicle.

Welcome the New Year with a Hike Around Majestic Mount Diablo

December 28, 2015 4:30 pm

Welcome the New Year with a Hike Around Majestic Mount Diablo:

Mount Diablo State Park (Oak Knoll Picnic Area)
Summit Rd, Walnut Creek
Friday, January 1st, 2016
9:30am – 2:30pm | $10 (car fee)

Start the New Year with a fairly strenuous hike around Mount Diablo! We will begin at the parking lot immediately west of the Oak Knoll picnic area. We will soon cross the Summit Road and head uphill on the Juniper Trail to Deer Flat Road. We’ll contour around until we get to the pass on Moses Rock Ridge and then head down to Deer Flat. From there, we hike to Murchio Gap where we will pick up the Bald Ridge Trail and use that to get to Prospectors Gap. The North Peak Trail will take us to Devil’s Elbow and dramatic views of the burn area from the 2013 fire. We will use the Summit Trail to take us back to Oak Knoll. This is a 7 mile loop with about 2600’ of total gain. Steady pace with lunch break. Wear layered clothing and bring a lunch or snacks and plenty of liquids. Be prepared for mud and poison oak. Rain cancels.

This is a variation of Hike #38 in the newly released Hiker’s Guide to Mount Diablo State Park.

Big Fat Year End Kiss Off Comedy Show at Lesher Center on Dec 26th in Walnut Creek

December 23, 2015 4:30 pm

Big Fat Year End Kiss Off Comedy Show:

Lesher Center for the Arts
1601 Civic Dr, Walnut Creek
Saturday, December 26, 2015
8:00 PM | $30

For the 23rd consecutive year, Will Durst and his merry band of pranksters are proud to take their end-of-the-year comedy extravaganza to the Bay Area’s far-flung nooks and crannies, bringing their hilarious New Year’s celebration to the people.
Starting the day after Christmas through January 3rd, the troupe vows to lampoon, satirize, mock, scoff, scorn, taunt, tease, rib, ridicule, josh, jibe and kid the personalities and events of the past year and do it with a modicum of taste.
The Big Fat Year End Kiss Off Comedy Show features a riotously uproarious collection of skits, sketches, and stand- up, all focused on the year of our Lord 2015. Some calendars are less conducive as subjects of humourosity, but what with Kim Davis giving a Confederate flag to Pope Francis after hacking Hillary’s email to discover her position on the NAACP white lady who pretended she was black, (according to Brian Williams), this year has been especially fecund. Lush like a tropical rain forest.
Continuing a holiday tradition as hallowed as the coal in Donald Trump’s stocking and as welcome as an air freshener in the Bohemian Club’s outhouse following Chili Night, The Big Fat Year End Kiss Off Comedy Show consists of 6 comics, 9 cities, 10 shows and 3,467 laughs. Complete info at: www.willdurst.com. Like us on Facebook!
SIX COMICS
Will Durst, (willdurst.com), Johnny Steele, (johnnysteele.com) Debi Durst and Michael Bossier (Deb and Mike), Mari Magaloni and last but not least, the beguiling Arthur Gaus, Esq.
