Prog-Rock Powerhouse Stick Men Return to San Diego with Chapman Stick Virtuoso Tom GriesgraberNearly two years since their last San Diego performance, Stick Men — the progressive rock supergroup featuring Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, and Markus Reuter — return to the Bornemann Theater in San Marcos. This marks a special homecoming of sorts, as Mastelotto and Reuter were the first national touring act to perform at the Bornemann’s Grand Opening in May 2024, along with Trey Gunn as part of their band TU-NER.Formed in 2007, Stick Men is known for their adventurous sound built around electric touch-style instruments like the Chapman Stick and the self-designed U8 guitar. Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson) anchors the trio with his mastery of the Chapman Stick, an instrument that simultaneously covers both bass and melody. Mastelotto brings an innovative approach to percussion, blending acoustic drums with an electronic setup, while Reuter adds layers of depth and texture with his custom instrument. Combined, the band’s members have contributed to records selling over 100 million copies worldwide.Opening the night is renowned Chapman Stick player Tom Griesgraber, whose genre-blending performances often include guitar Theremin and collaborations with artists from the California Guitar Trio to RYMO featuring Slightly Stoopid’s drummer Ryan Moran. With over ten releases and a resume that includes touring with Jerry Marotta and opening for legends like Steve Hackett and Al DiMeola, Griesgraber’s set promises a diverse and compelling lead-in to the night’s headliners.Stick Men on Facebook / Youtube

Junior Over The Line The Junior Over the Line Tournament is an annual event that brings together young athletes from across the region to compete in the exciting Over the Line (OTL) sport. This unique 3-player softball type game is open to junior players of all skill levels, allowing beginners to learn the game and experienced players to showcase their talents.The Junior Over the Line Tournament participants can look forward to a day of fun in the sun, filled with laughter, excitement, and the thrill of competition. The chance to test their skills against teams from different backgrounds adds an element of adventure.Event InformationJunior Over-The-Line® is a unique 3-player softball type game played on sand. The play area is marked out using rope and staked into the ground in a triangle pattern. Each team pitches to its players. The key rule is to hit a softball-type ball over the line to effect a hit, with 3 hits resulting in a run. Notably, there is no running of bases, making it a distinctive and exciting game.Junior OTL is played the same way adult Over-The-Line is. The difference is court size. The peewee division is co-ed and played on a 35′ court, using a safety softball and hitting off a tee. For ages 9-11 and 12-14, the court size is 45′, and it uses a standard OTL ball and pitching.All other divisions use standard-sized courts, balls, and pitching. Gloves are allowed for all divisions except the 18-20-year-old boys division. Round-robin formats are used, with 4 to 5 teams per court. Due to single-elimination play, awards are given to 1st—and 2nd-place teams.Event Details:Junior OTL Tournament ($15): June 8, 2025Junior OTL Tournament ($15): June 29, 2025World Championships (Free): August 9, 2025Player Check-In: 7:30 a.m.Games Start: 8:30 a.m.Location: Fiesta Island Park, 1590 East Mission Bay Drive, San Diego, CA 92109Teams: 3-player team price of $15 includes lunch, drinks and snacks for all registered players.Individual Players: Individual players can also register for $5.
