It includes painting, film, photography, sculpture, and texts.

There is another exhibit there that will run until March 30, 2008 in the Hammer Building. "Southern California Art of the 60's and 70's. This exhibit is included in the regular museum entry fee, unless of course, you are a member. Looks good.

LACMA also has concerts on Sundays at 6:00 pm in the Bing Center. I have attended their Jazz concerts in the atrium in the summer and they have been wonderful. These events are free and are a wonderful way to spend a pleasant evening. This coming Sunday, November 11, they will have "Songs, Serenades, and Brahms' Liebeslieder Waltzes. On the 18th of November, they will have violin, cello, and viola performing Schubert Quintet in C major.

Half Price Tickets

I love to recommend these guys to everyone I know. This is the greatest ticket service. I found them by accident one day and have been speaking their praises since. I have been a member for a long time now. Membership is merely signing up for their weekly email at no cost. This will bring you a new email each week describing what events are in your area for half price tickets. There is no obligation at any time.

However for the price of going to a mediocre movie, you can enjoy live entertainment in a number of the metropolitan areas they cover. I've seen Al Pacino onstage at the Wadsworth for less than half price, a comedian from Great Britain at UCLA, various plays, and now they have tickets to Cirque for $48 each. They do charge a small service charge, usually about 2 to $4 dollars, but then that's it. Compare that to ticketmaster!

Needless to say, we've sworn off Ticketmaster and go out a lot more these days and still maintain a budget. Thank you Gold Star. So, go sign up and have some fun.

Arts and Crafts Fair at the Ventura Fairgrounds

Coming up on the first weekend in October is the Ventura Harvest Festival. I have never attended before, but it does look like a fun event. I've included a link for further information about the fair. I plan on attending, especially since I have recently begun ceramics class at Moorpark College for fun. I'm enjoying the potter's wheel tremendously. The fair promises to have a variety of artists displaying ceramics and other works. I'm hoping to get some ideas from those with experience.

Since I will be at the fair, if anyone needs anything notarized, bring your document along with current identification, and just give me a call. I can help you right there at the fairgrounds. No travel fee :-)

Half Priced Tickets for Los Angeles and Ventura County Entertainment

Here is a gem that we are very excited to share with you. We enjoy going to plays, concerts, and fun events. However we found the cost of tickets to events really prohibited going out very often. We accidentally found a solution. If you click to our Fun Stuff page on our main website, you will see a cost comparison between Ticketmaster and Gold Star when we purchased tickets for Salome with Al Pacino at the Wadsworth Theater. The difference in cost for Salome was staggering. Also, on the night of the event, we easily picked up our tickets at Will Call and we were in. Two other important facts about this company are important to relay. First, we usually get our tickets at Will Call. What is astonishing is that the even though we are not able to choose seat location, the tickets are ALWAYS the best. The pleasant greeting at the Will Call window just shows to me that Gold Star has a good relationship with local venues. Second, we had tickets for a show, but a week before we found we needed to be some place else at the time of the play. I wrote to the company and explained my situation. I was astonished that they wrote back indicating that they were sorry we were unable to attend and that they would credit us for the tickets. Yes...you did hear that right, they credited us for the tickets. We then were able to purchase tickets for another show on a different night. Try that with Ticketmaster! On a final note, their service fee is minimal and each transaction is smooth. So go check them out and have some fun! Please let us know what events you get to see.
