"Stars, Cars and Guitars" is a “blast from the past” exhibit showing how, in less than a decade, from the years from 1958 to 1965, surfing related elements came to dominate popular culture forming a lasting effect on California, America and the world at large. From iconic record albums, period surfboards, fashion artifacts, seminal photographic images and memorabilia, visitors get a clearer sense of why this era is considered the “golden age” of surfing and the surfing lifestyle. In just a few short years an entirely new social structure was formed with its own vernacular, mode of dress, art, musical sound, modes of transportation, hair styles, and rituals all its own. Museum Hours: 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. daily California Surf Museum on Facebook / Instagram

In the blockbuster "Barbie" movie, two Latina women save the day, Gloria (played by America Ferrera) and Sasha (played by Ariana Greenblatt), and stand in for Latinas and Latinidad. But in 2000, "Dora the Explorer" was considered by many to be pathbreaking: for the first time, a Latina girl was a main character on Nickelodeon. Notably, this year was also the first time that the U.S. Census revealed that the Latine population was the most numerous minority in the country. Valdivia’s talk will consider how this evolution brought the girl culture of Latinas and Latindad and to the center of representation and profit in U.S. popular culture.

Their sophomoric sophomore record, "F for Effort," hit the digital and real-world shelves at the start of the month. Come celebrate this monumental feat of rock and roll! The Hammerbombs like to drink the beers and play the pop punk tunes. We've been in a million bands, and we'll probably be in a million more. Right now we're in this one. Get into it! *************************** * MIDDLE-AGED QUEERS * *************************** middleagedqueers.com middleagedqueers.bandcamp.com @middleagedqueers Described as “feeling like I’d mainlined joy” (Razorcake) and named the Bay Area’s best live band three times (Bay Area Reporter), Middle-Aged Queers are a supergroup of seasoned punks — ex-members of the Cost (Lookout Records), Fang (Boner Records), the Insaints (Maximumrocknroll Records), and the Shondes (Exotic Fever Records) — on a mission to make punk rock gay again. Since 2019, their much-talked-about show has soaked stages across North America, including appearances at Gainesville’s Fest, Montreal’s Pouzza Fest, Punk Rock Bowling, and more. *************************************** * MATT CASKITT AND THE BREAKS * *************************************** mattcaskittandthebreaks.com mattcaskittandthebreaks.bandcamp.com @mattcaskittandthebreaks Matt Caskitt & The Breaks are an American Power Pop-Punk Rock band from Southern California.
