Culinary Historians of San Diego will present “It’s Boba Time: Adapting to Change,” featuring Yong Chen, at 10:30 a.m. June 18 in the Neil Morgan Auditorium of the San Diego Central Library. “Boba Time” refers to the continued rise of the popular boba tea in the US and elsewhere. The notion reminds us that tea and its global expansion have been associated with important changes in history. And it’s an example of the diverse paths foodstuffs and cuisines have taken in traveling overseas from their origins as they have adapted to the culture of their new homes and adopted new ingredients in the process. Yong Chen is Professor of History and Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of California Irvine where he has served as the Associate Dean in the Office of Research and Graduate Studies for 23 years. He is the author of Chop Suey, USA: The Story of Chinese Food in America; Chinese San Francisco 1850-1943 and The Chinese in San Francisco, and co-editor of New Perspectives on American History. He was also the co-curator of “‘Have You Eaten Yet?’: The Chinese Restaurant in America” in Atwater Kent Museum, Philadelphia (2006), and the Museum of Chinese in the Americas, New York City (2004–05). He serves on the National Landmarks Committee of the advisory board of the National Park Service of the United States.

From the bombastic and epic, to the folky and mystical, Get The Led Out (GTLO) have captured the essence of the recorded music of Led Zeppelin and brought it to the concert stage. The Philadelphia-based group consists of six veteran musicians intent on delivering Led Zeppelin live, like you’ve never heard before. Utilizing the multi-instrumentalists at their disposal, GTLO re-create the songs in all their depth and glory with the studio overdubs that Zeppelin themselves never performed. When you hear three guitars on the album…GTLO delivers three guitarists on stage. No wigs or fake English accents, GTLO brings what the audience wants…a high energy Zeppelin concert with an honest, heart-thumping intensity. Dubbed by the media as “The American Led Zeppelin,” Get The Led Out offers a strong focus on the early years. They also touch on the deeper cuts that were seldom, if ever heard in concert. GTLO also include a special “acoustic set” with Zep favorites such as “Tangerine” and the “Battle of Evermore” being performed in its’ original instrumentation with guest singer Diana DeSantis joining the band. GTLO has amassed a strong national touring history, having performed at major club and PAC venues across the country. GTLO’s approach to their performance of this hallowed catalog is not unlike a classical performance. “Led Zeppelin are sort of the classical composers of the rock era,” says lead vocalist Paul Sinclair. “I believe 100 years from now they will be looked at as the Bach or Beethoven of our time. As cliché as it sounds, their music is timeless.” A GTLO concert mimics the “light and shade” that are the embodiment of “The Mighty Zep.” Whether it’s the passion and fury with which they deliver the blues-soaked, groove-driven rock anthems, it’s their attention to detail and nuance that makes a Get The Led Out performance a truly awe-inspiring event!
