Note: "TL;DR: Thelma Louise; Dyke Remix" has been extended through June 9. T and L drive their 1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible off the edge of the Grand Canyon. Suspended in mid air, the two discover their authentic selves and embark on a queer odyssey that defies conventions and dares to ask: “Why do strong female characters always gotta die?” Aided by a kick-ass Riot Grrrl band, T and L attempt to sort out their new identities, how those identities impact their relationships with each other, and seek out the gay happy ending they’ve always deserved.

Annual Turkey Calling Show 2024 When: Nov 27, 2024 from 12 p.m. – 1 p.m. Where: UCSD Geisel Library, Seuss Room Free! It’s that time of year again! Join us at UCSD Geisel Library for our Annual Turkey Calling Show and learn more about the beloved turkey through calling techniques and more. This noisy show at the Library has become a community tradition. Kids are welcome (and they’ll be reciting turkey-related riddles). Presented as an old-time radio show, this celebration is filled with music, sound effects, stories and facts of interest… prizes, too (no one leaves empty-handed). Your host and bandleader Scott Paulson, a UC San Diego alumnus and exhibits and events coordinator at the Library, has been lauded by the San Diego Union-Tribune for his entertaining shows: “an avant-garde vaudevillian, think Samuel Beckett meets John Cage.” The Los Angeles Times relayed “Paulson’s brand of G-rated fun, a sort of modern-day morphing of Captain Kangaroo and Spike Jones, is always lively and at times wonderfully chaotic.” Joining Scott Paulson that day: Story Lady Melanie Peters, Turkey Hotline Operator Karen Fisher, DJ Camille Cannon and special musical guests Bobby Ortiz and Christian Hertzog. This event is free and open to the public. Registration is not required. Contact: Scott Paulson: spaulson@ucsd.edu Visit: Annual Turkey Calling Show UC San Diego Library on Instagram and Facebook

Led by vivacious cross-over cellist, Rebecca Roudman, Dirty Cello is cello like you have never heard before. In addition to Rebecca and her husband, Jason, the band will include two additional members. They will be playing some old favorites and some new arrangements. From Iceland to Italy, and all over the United States, the San Francisco-based band brings the world a high-energy and unique spin on down home blues, rock with a wailing cello, and virtuosic stompin’ Americana. Dirty Cello is a band that gets your heart thumping and your toes tapping! “When lead guitar is replaced by the sound of hot licks on a cello, blues, rock, and bluegrass rise to a new dimension. Dirty Cello makes its style of string music to inspire audiences to swing, sway, and dance.” – Ashland Daily Tidings Dirty Cello Facebook | Dirty Cello Instagram San Diego Folk Heritage on Facebook / Instagram
