Marx in Soho

Humboldt State University's departments of Economics, History, Philosophy, Politics and Sociology collaboratively hosted Howard Zinn's play 'Marx in Soho' preformed by Bob Weick. It was challenging to find the energy to go out after work on a Thursday night, to the place I gave my thesis defense. However, I am super glad that I did. The play was wonderful. The acting was incredible and the writing (as with any of Zinn's work) was inspiring without glossing over the realities of Marx's life.

13th Annual Humboldt Juggling Festival

One of my absolute favorite things about Humboldt County is the annual Juggling Festival. The talent, passion, and dedication the performers bring to their workshops and the stage, inspires me all year to pursue my interests and dreams.

Reigning Cats & Dogs Gala Fundraiser

I got to attend a Sequoia Humane Society's Reigning Cats & Dogs Gala Fundraiser fundraiser at the Carson Mansion. This year they served meat and oysters, which was very disappointing since in the past Humane Gourmet banquets they have has a completely vegetarian menu. It is a little counter intuitive to serve dead animals at an animal promoting fundraiser. However disappointed I was in the food, it was fun to get to tour the Carson Mansion. I also got to meet a girl who donated her Bat Mitzvah money to the Humane Society in order to help animals, and won a raffle for a spa gift certificate.

Humboldt Roller Derby

I love the roller derby.  Even though I can not skate to save my life, I can still help out by selling merchandise at the game. Come by and support our girls by buying a ticket and a shirt!

Flying J Ranch

At every family reunion, the whole family spends an evening at the Flying J Ranch. Before the traditional cowboy dinner and variety music show begins, the "sheriff" gets into a shoot out with two nefarious "criminals". Will those pesky criminals ever learn?

Walker Aviation Museum

While in New Mexico, we got a private tour of Roswell's Air Museum. My favorite part was reading the vintage letters and valentines cards on display.

Roswell Museum and Art Center

Roswell Museum and Art Center has a little bit of everything, and is a must see for anyone visiting Roswell.  

The art and history displays are great, but my all time favorite aspect of the RMAC is that it has a working pottery studio inside. While touring around I got to see some of my grandparents' creations.
