  • Mission Hills Heritage (MHH) is shining a spotlight on one of the neighborhood’s most iconic—and often overlooked—architectural styles with its upcoming Mid-Century Modern Weekend event, a celebration of design, community, and preservation. Home to one of the region’s largest concentrations of mid-century architecture, Mission Hills features work by celebrated architects like Frederick Liebhardt, Lloyd Ruocco, and Homer Delawie. “In 20 years, we’ve never focused exclusively on this important genre,” says MHH co-founder Barry Hager. “It’s time.” The May event is designed as a dynamic two-day experience. The weekend begins Friday, May 15 with the debut of the Modernism Mixer, an exclusive reception hosted at a private mid-century home in Mission Hills. Guests will enjoy sweeping panoramic views from SeaWorld to the University of San Diego, exclusive access to portions of the home’s interior, a curated wine bar, and a surprise VIP guest. A grazing table will be presented by Venissimo Cheese, the preeminent Mission Hills fromagerie known for its exceptional selection of gourmet cheeses from around the world. “This is exactly the kind of experience our members have been asking for,” says events chair Sharon Lieder. “It’s a stunning setting and a unique way to connect.” The celebration continues Saturday, May 16, with MHH’s Annual Spring Lecture. Guests will enjoy coffee, light refreshments, and the ever-popular vendor showcase, offering inspiration and practical insights for maintaining and enhancing historic homes. The lecture will feature Keith York, a leading author and expert on mid-century modern homes in Southern California, and Dave Hampton, a modernism craft authority and curator of major exhibits exploring San Diego’s mid-century art and architecture. Beyond celebration, the weekend supports MHH’s core mission of preservation. “With growing pressure on historic resources, this work is more important than ever,” Lieder adds. Mid-Century Modern Weekend promises an inspiring and memorable experience celebrating architecture, community, and the future of preservation.

  • The acclaimed authors of the newly released anthology "The Villains Club: A Delightfully Devious Anthology" are joining forces with independent bookstore Mysterious Galaxy to present an author panel and book-signing event. The event will feature a lively discussion of the anthology, followed by a Q&A session and book signing. Authors Dr. Janina Scarlet, Jonathan Maberry, Chance Kistler, Dennis K. Crosby, Dave Beaudrie, M. B. Bruce, and Robin Talamas will introduce the audience to the anthology’s 18 captivating villains. “On the surface, these villains may seem like ordinary scoundrels, delinquents, bandits, and baddies. Scratch the surface and you'll find all the complexities, contradictions, impossible choices, and longing for connection that make even villains human,” said editor Janina Scarlet. “You'll get to know misunderstood monsters, overworked overlords, demons with major Inhuman Resources issues, and even a few villains who might actually be heroes.” For those unable to attend, the authors will personalize and sign books to be mailed directly to fans—whether they reside in an evil lair or a fortress of solitude. More information is available through the publisher Divine Feminine Publishing and the host bookstore Mysterious Galaxy. https://divinefeminine-publishing.com/events
  • Should California pension funds invest in fossil fuels? How about Tesla and Palantir? Or companies with anti-union records? Those debates are playing out at CalPERS and CalSTRS.
  • A World Premiere ADULT STORYTIME is a stirring collection of autobiographical monologues that explore the hardships and unexpected humor of caring for those we love across every stage of life. Set against a live blues composition that pulses beneath each story, the piece weaves music and memory into a richly textured theatrical experience. Shaped by the voices of relatives, coworkers, peers, and members of the public, Gobel crafts an intimate mosaic of testimony. Humor lives beside grief. Tenderness shares space with frustration. The result is a portrait of caregiving that is as complex and contradictory as love itself. Throughout the evening, guests are welcomed to reflect on and share their own stories, creating a communal space for truth telling and connection. Blending vulnerability with musical virtuosity, Adult Storytime offers blues through the weight of hesitation, laughter in recognition, and perhaps your own story illuminated on stage. Featuring Cecilia Cuevas-Torres, Dave Rivas, Meesha, and Wilfred Paloma, with Jasmine January leading The Storytellers Band made up of Jacob Gobel on keys, Kemet Gobel on bass, Kahir Brown on drums, and Alejandro Juarez on Guitar. Contains mature themes: grief, caregiving, family trauma, emotional vulnerability, and adult content Pay What You Choose Performance Thursday, June 11 This is an open seating event: https://app.ticketowl.io/o/aQjbg4XQ7VXZvjE4/event/aZTBRRIK_bp0P6IB OnWord Theatre: Website / Facebook / Instagram

  • An unbreakable bond shared between lifelong mates, Dave and Henry hail from the tiny farming community of Kojonup, a town three hours south of Perth, Western Australia. Starting out as school friends and rehearsing in a makeshift space in an old farm shed, Old Mervs are a far cry from their humble beginnings. Riding a wave of wins, Old Mervs are celebrating a massive 2025 after the success of their ARIA-charting debut album release and sold out tours across Australia, the United States, the UK and Europe. Recorded with ARIA award-winning producer Chris Collins, their debut self-titled album scored coveted Australian youth broadcaster triple j’s Feature Album of the week and landed at #1 on the ARIA album charts, winning hearts with hits “Parched," “What You’ve Lost," “Forget It," “Everyone Will See It” and “Don’t Go." In 2025, the pair embarked on a mammoth 20 date album tour across Australia and New Zealand along with their biggest headline home-state show to date at Perth HPC. They then headed to the US to play at world-renowned festival Lollapalooza alongside names like Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler the Creator and Sabrina Carpenter, bookended by a massive run of headline shows across the States, stopping in for an Audiotree session too. They closed out the year with a return to the UK and their first ever shows in Europe. This year looks to be just as big, if not bigger. With new music in the pipeline, and a stack of touring at home and across the globe, Old Mervs are thrilled to return to the US again for a stack of huge headline shows, along with Kilby Block Party, Gov Ball and more dates to be announced!
