Give up all the smoking events in Long Beach, that is. I’m off to San Francisco for a week and my only regret is that there are so many interesting things going on in this overlooked and underrated city by the bay. Just a few things I’d like to see:
March 6 Lagoon Playgroup 60th Anniversary. I’m proud to say that one of my sons is an alumni of this wonderful little cooperative play school a stone’s throw from Colorado Lagoon. The facility’s just been refurbished and I’d love to see the improvements and share some old war stories with the parents.
March 6 Greg Mortenson live at the Carpenter Center. Part of Long Beach Reads One Book, the author of Three Cups of Tea will tell about his adventures on K2 and his efforts to build schools for poor children in remote areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
March 6 Author Suzanne Toro will talk about her book, Bare Naked Bliss, at Bogarts Coffee House. Come on, admit it. You’d go just to ogle the cover.
March 6, 7 The 39th Annual CSULB Pow Wow. Drums, dancers in beautiful feathered costumes and food booths turn the campus quad into a tribal celebration. Fun for the whole family
March 11 The Long Beach I Love You event at the Long Beach Aquarium. Part of the Visions Voices Festival, this multimedia show celebrates the release of a poetry anthology, The Good Things about America, with music and readings by local writers.
