California Blog #25: Concerts

 My next future in California is gonna be a challenging one, and it's a good one too. When I move back here in the future, I will enjoy plenty of concerts and special events in the Golden state. My first part of concert shows that I wanna go to is at the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz. The event at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk is Bands on the Beach located at the beach bandstand where Free Friday Nights is held. Not just see concerts, but also see free movies in the summer season too.



My second idea to see concerts is an outdoor event in San Francisco. If I can choose an outdoor concert event for example, it would be Bruce Hornsby. My next idea for seeing a concert here is watching Green Day perform.


I also thought about participating at the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival for the very first time. Fact is that the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival is a music festival held annually in San Francisco, California, United States, at Golden Gate Park. The festival is produced by Another Planet Entertainment, Superfly Presents, and Starr Hill Presents. It is the largest independently owned music festival in the United States. So if we would like to visit Outside Lands in San Francisco, see for yourself.


Every year, Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival has a lineup of musical artists and bands willing to show up and perform on stage. And the best of the festival is that there's plenty of outdoor activities and attractions.





And who knows, maybe I can see the Muppets perform.


Other ideas for seeing concerts are seeing some in San Jose, Capitola, Monterey Bay, others.

Oh, speaking of Monterey, I also thought about the California Roots Festival at Monterey County Fairgrounds. The annual music and art festival, featuring reggae, reggae rock, folk, hip hop acts and live painting on-stage. Founded in 2010 by Jeff Monser, an artist and screen printing shop owner.



On special dates while visiting Los Angeles to hang out with cousin Ryan, I'm also thinking about going to Nickelodeon Slimefest for the first time.


If I were to get slimed at Slimefest, I would probably see Jojo Siwa perform live. I might even get to say hello to her. And maybe at Slimefest if I get lucky once again like the first time just like visiting California for summer vacation, I might get slimed again by surprise.



Who knows what else we can all see in the California future.

Folks, for fans who like smooth jazz. San Diego holds a Smooth Jazz Music Festival every year.




According to the website, it says that The fourth San Diego Smooth Jazz Festival is held annually at the picturesque Embarcadero Marina Park North the San Diego Marina. The location with all its skyline views, stunning water surroundings, and of course, music creates an unforgettable ambiance perfect for jazz lovers. No surprise that this vibrant event continues to be a shattering success and major tourist attraction in the city.

And maybe I can take my family there for some smooth jazz festivities.


Now if there was a concert somewhere in downtown Scotts Valley, we would find a 'Open Bluegrass Jam' that we can all find for my dad so that he can perform some Mojo music just like at Americana Music Academy in Lawrence Kansas.


But fact is, there's an Open Bluegrass Jam at the The Crêpe Place located at 1134 Soquel Ave, in Santa Cruz, CA.


Quick note: If you like to help me out on some performing arts we can see in the future, let me know.

Location: California, USA

California Blog #22: Welcome to Lake Tahoe

Image
 Living in Northern California in the future can be a bit of a challenge. But when I think of living here once again, I've thought about one thing that my aunt Leta suggested. She and uncle Mark suggested visiting Lake Tahoe for the very first time. If you can look closely, you can see the beautiful lakeside. That's the south shore seen on the west. At Lake Tahoe, you can also see the view of the shore from California from here. If you liked my blog about camping in California, then get this. There's also hiking here in Lake Tahoe! And that part of Lake Tahoe is Fallen Leaf Lake. How's that for another scenery. Now if you look closely at this map, Lake Tahoe is located in both California and Nevada. As you look closely at these pictures taken from space, you can see the clear blue water in this lake. According to Wikipedia,  Lake Tahoe has a dry-summer continental climate, including  warm, dry summers and chilly winters with regular snowfall. It's the  youngest of s...

California Blog #08: A Visit to Axtell Expressions

Image
  Ever since the day I got my first Axtell puppet in Lawrence KS, it has always been my dream to entertain children, and start my puppet's own show on YouTube. So I would like to take my time to talk about Axtell Expressions. It all started in the month of February 2013 when I got my bee puppet delivered to my door. It was a best day of my life. Since I named him Buzzy, I got the chance to show my puppet to everyone in Lawrence. The school that I went to [Free State High School], Cordley Elementary [including Lois Orth-Lopes], and of course all of my friends in this town I lived in. They are so thrilled that they saw it. He was friendly, kind, and more expressive to people. And for example, this is what my puppet and I look like in that picture. Now in the future when I come back to live in California again, I wanna plan a visit to Axtell Expressions in Ventura where it's between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. I wanna get the chance to meet Steve Axtell and shake hands with him...

California Blog #11: 7-Eleven

Image
  As I'm still working on my next future life in northern California, I'd like to take my time to talk to you about my daily trips to 7-Eleven in my spare free time. Whenever I come in to a 7-Eleven, I get myself a Slurpee of any kind that I like. Whether it's wild cherry, blue raspberry, pina colada, or Coca-Cola flavored, I'm always down with that. One time, my family and I were visiting 7-Eleven to get myself a Slurpee during vacation in California, and I tried a wild cherry Slurpee. And I gotta tell you, I almost got myself a brain freeze when I sipped too fast. We were in the car on the way. Visiting 7-Eleven reminds of the time I was in Kansas City with my dad while we were moving, and it was great. I wanted to pick out something besides a Slurpee, but it was all I can get here for now. I wonder if I could go there more often. It was also that other time I went there with Aunt Leta and Uncle Mark along with my dad, and my cousins Ryan and Shanann. For me, I got my...
