Art Night is being held March 14, 2007 in Pasadena, CA.
The event runs from 6pm – 10pm. There are 13 institutions participating this time.
There are three routes you can take to see the various locations.
Armory Northwest is not participating this time as they had to move out of their location. Perhaps next time in the Fall.
This is a FREE event sponsored by the City of Pasadena Cultural Affairs Dept and the participating institutions.

I will be a docent for this event, riding on a bus and helping folks get from one location to another.
There will also be a bike ride and you can walk from most locations in the central route. Walking from the Art Center to PCC would not be recommended…
Just got back from getting Jennifer’s 2002 Ford Taurus smog checked.
Had a good experience at Joe’s Smog Check and Test Only Station.
Clean place, courteous and friendly.
I highly recommend Joe’s if you need a smog check.
He is located in North Hollywood.

He had one car waiting and I was in and out of there in less than 30min.
If you need a smog check and are in the Los Angeles area this is the place to go.
He has a website and you can get a coupon and save some money. With a coupon I got out of there for $30! That’s about $20 off of what other places around town are charging and they are less reputable. Be sure to print out the online smog check coupon, that way he knows how you found him.

Most of you have probably already seen this video footage.
If you haven’t click play! This must have been one very scary landing.
The Lufthansa flight LH44 from Munich experienced wingstrike while landing at Hamburg on 1 March 2008 during Emma storm. Nobody was injured; the plane landed using another runway.
As the price of gas at the pump continues to rise, we hear reports that OPEC is not going to increase production.
This is a clear indication that the price will surely not be dropping.
Is $4 a gallon the tipping point, where people, private business and the government will start to take more serious action to implement solutions that will make a lasting effort.
After attending the JPL seminar on the energy crises I am more convinced than ever that action needs to be taken.
We need disruptive technologies which will make the oil and energy companies more responsive to the demands by consumers.
The reality is that the price of energy in this country is still very low compared to other countries. Until the price reaches higher levels we may not see action. It is the sad truth. If we are in our comfort zone why change?
