A Show Report by Jim Ocean
New generation rockers Kingsborough plugged in, stepped up to the mic,
and then like geckos, they grabbed the audience with two great cover
tunes.
They then unleashed their originals which stole the night with
all the song elements hitting just right. Tight rhythms, 3 and 4 part
harmony, excellent lyrics, tasty solos...nothing missing...masterful
song-writing!
As a final flourish they covered the Joe Cocker version of
With a Little Help From My Friends to thank the 4,000+ Concord fans who
were on their feet screaming.

Dirt After Dark at the Exploratorium
Thursday June 7th
When: 06:00 PM - 10:00 PM
The Exploratorium in
San Francisco
Dig
into soil science and get the dirt on everything from mushrooms to meteorites.
Exploratorium
physicist and Mars expert Paul Doherty pilots a tour of extraterrestrial dirt
found as far away as Titan, Saturn's largest moon, and as near as your own
home. Fellow staff scientist Bryce Johnson steers us through San Francisco
Bay's sediments and Exploratorium biologist Karen Kalumuck reveals the
creeping, crawling world inside a rotting log.
And
in an edible approach to our theme, mushroom farmers from Back to the Roots
share secrets to growing gourmet mushrooms from coffee grounds.
Dirt also features compost demonstrations, urban farming
explorations, special films, and an exhibition of historic color
photographs documenting the end of the Dust Bowl era.

What a
Plant Knows
Tuesday, 06/12/12 at 07:00 PM
Cost:$12 General
California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco
How does a Venus flytrap know when to snap
shut? Can it feel an insect's spindly legs? How do flowers know when it's
spring? Can they actually remember the weather? And do they care if you play
them Led Zeppelin or Bach? From Darwin's early fascination with stems and vines
to Little Shop of Horrors, we have always marveled at plant diversity and form.
Now, in What a Plant Knows, the renowned biologist Daniel Chamovitz presents an
intriguing and refreshing look at how plants experience the world. Highlighting
the latest research in plant science, he takes us into the lives of different types
of plants, and draws parallels with the human senses to reveal that we have
much more in common with sunflowers and oak trees than we may realize.
