Sunday Afternoon Concerts in the Dome,
Held Inside the Iconic Dome of the 100” Telescope
Sunday, September 5, 2021
Performances at 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM
Mount Wilson Observatory, the scientific marvel in the mountains above Pasadena, announces the second, and final, Sunday Afternoon Concerts in the Dome under the magnificent vaulted dome of the historic 100-inch telescope. The sublime Lounge Art Ensemble will return on Sunday, September 5, 2021, with two concerts at 3:00 and 5:00 PM. Led by Weather Report drummer extraordinaire Peter Erskine, this exceptional jazz trio features saxophonist Bob Sheppard and bassist Darek Oles. Offering a freewheeling selection of standards and original tunes in the observatory’s unique and historic venue, the performances will be acoustic, without amplification, promising that the full tonality of the instruments, and the dynamic control these musicians possess, will be fully appreciated by the audience. Tickets cost $50 each and are available for purchase online in advance (highly recommended) or at the door, given availability. As in the previous three years of the series, Artistic Director Cécilia Tsan, herself an award-winning cellist, curates. For more information on Sunday Afternoon Concerts in the Dome, please visit https://www.mtwilson.edu/events.
There will be an artist’s reception at 4:00 PM between each concert’s hour-long session. In addition, concert-goers will be treated to an exhibition featuring rare scientific artifacts, drawings, and illustrations from the Observatory’s collection. Seating inside the historic dome is limited. Concert attendees must be fully vaccinated. Children under age 12 are not permitted. There is no ADA-compliant access.
All proceeds go to support the Mt. Wilson Institute in its mission to preserve, protect and promote the Observatory and the accomplishments there. Poised for rediscovery, the grounds of the legendary observatory—founded in 1904 by astrophysical pioneer George Ellery Hale—are open for free to the public year-round.

"Rumors"
Teach Me About Big Girl Coochie Cardi B & Lizzo |
Yesterday Lizzo unleashed some big post quarantine energy with the release of her song Rumors featuring Cardi B.
Well today it's my newest jam! Rumors is not your basic banger, As If! Being that Lizzo is anything but your basic artist.
This being Lizzo's first song in two years has so much going on, it takes a few trips to unpack. Trust me this is one unpacking that isn't a chore.
I don't know about you, but for me it's time for another trip on the Rumors Train, take that journey by boarding the video below now...!!!

Film Buff Friday: Frankenstein
Frankenstein |
Happy Friday the 13th and such...being that it is such a sacred day for horror fans I thought we should celebrate accordingly with, well, a horror movie. That's correct Minions let us revisit, or visit the classic 1931 Frankenstein starring Boris Karloff.
It's been a while since Me, Myself and I have seen this great piece of cinema and after reading my buddy Jay Jacobson's write up of it on his Classic Movie Blog it makes me think today being what it is, makes perfect timing to kick it with the OG again.
So enjoy your special day horror fans, you know how I will be spending it, join me if you dare by clicking on the link below....Boo!!!

Current Mood
White Heat Chloe Sevigny |
Hello Minions, for some reason only known to the corners of my mind, this photo of Chloe Sevigny looking chill in white and hailing a cab in NYC captures my Current Mood.
I'm sure it's because no matter what she does, Chloe always comes off so cool and confident. Two qualities that compliment each other to perfection.
Seriously, who looks that good during the summer heat in NYC? I ask you, I asked c'mon now answer me. What's that? You agree, good!!!
Thus today I saw we all aspire to bend it like Chloe and let her guide our collective Current Mood.
She's got a ticket to ride...
