Vote tomorrow for OBAMA!

2008-02-05T07:29:48Z

Hello all,

As I've said before, this election will be crucial for the United States. We're wading into a time of economic and global turmoil. You see it on the news everyday, the weather phenomena, the catastrophes worldwide, now our national economy and debt (Largely caused by the Iraq war and a disregard for the middle class). Then you have the middle east factor and the wildfire of corporate powers and international bankers steadily sucking up resources in their own personal game of global monopoly.

Wake up!

I know some of the candidates like Kucinich, or some may even say Ron Paul, would have been good agents of change, but they are too far behind to win and we're now left with 4 possibilities of who will lead us into these new times.

For Republicans we have McCain and Romney. McCain is the forerunner for republicans. But assuming that you don't want us to stay in Iraq for another 100 years, and that you don't want the government eliminating more of your rights, they are out of the question.

So we have two choices left: Hillary or Obama?

There is a definite problem with Hillary and the Clinton family. They are networked with the Bush family! They have vacationed together, they have supported each other! They are in cahoots!
"The Washington Times revealed that the current President even takes foreign policy advice from Clinton, along with his father, and lets them sit in on CIA briefings."
If you want some leads on this information here is one of many sources: http://infowars.net/articles/may2006/100506clinton.htm

Obama is the one who can unite Americans, including the youth-our generation. He can stand up to special interests groups and manipulative power-hungry corporations. If you want to vote for someone who might make things right in our country then please consider this.

And celebrities can be wrong just like anyone, but they do have resources and with these resources there often comes inside information. Many of them know about the corruption behind the scenes regarding the American Government. That's why so many celebrities are endorsing Obama. Will Smith, Robert Deniro, Scarlet Johansen, The Kennedy's, even Arnold's wife is going against him and McCain to endorse Obama! And there are many more. Over a hundred large newspapers have recently moved to endorse him as well.

This is Obama's site if you want more info. Primary votes are tomorrow.
http://www.barackobama.com/index.php

And if your excuse is that the electoral system doesn't work, well I agree that there is a flaw in the fact that the popular vote does not directly elect our president, BUT the popular vote puts a LOT of pressure on each delegate to vote in line with his/her district's population. If the popular vote goes one way and the delegate's vote goes another way there will be a lot of controversy and it is something that rarely happens because these delegates don't want to lose popular support and be routed in the media and elsewhere.

So you can make a difference-
Peace.

Opinions of different areas

2007-11-01T17:54:41Z

I am in the middle of a job hunt. I am now being presented to two companies in Orange County. One is in Aliso Viejo. The other in Irvine.

Would anyone be able to give me an opinion about which area you think is a better area to settle down? I guess I don't have to live in the same town I'd work in, but being that I'm doing a cross-country move, I have no clue about either.

Also, if you could suggest the more economical areas to look for an apartment near either of these locations, that would still be considered nice, safe for a single female who may come home late at night at times, and that would have more to offer than an apartment and job (meaning a social life).

I know, lots to ask. I just feel that the tribe folk will be honest, and friendly in their suggestions.

Oh, and is either of these places a "Burner" area?

Moving to OC

2007-10-23T17:41:51Z

Hi, denizens of OC. My girlfriend and I are moving to OC in the fall (I got a great job in Aliso Viejo at Soka University), and would love some advice on where to live. I can't say I'm a fan of the cookie-cutter malls and houses I saw in Aliso Viejo, but I hear there's better places for misfits like us. We want to be within close commuting distance too. What's funky in OC? Ethnically diverse? Give me the scoop! Thanks!

I went to Tommy T's Body Piercing

2007-07-07T17:38:31Z

I tried Outer Limits and they were misleading about the Jewelry they carried. So I walked out. A guy outside told me about Tommy T's. I drove to Huntington Beach and walked in and talked to Tommy T directly. He is by far the most knowledgeable person about body piercing I have ever met. I had steel barbells in me that were of industrial quality. I did not even know there was a difference between Industrial surgical steel and implant grade surgical steel. The people at Outer limits were nice but nice don't make you honest or smart. And they told me over the phone that they had the best Jewelry selection in Orange County. That was a BOGUS statement. Tommy T's has about 10 times as much Jewelry as outer limits. Anyways I will always go to Tommy T's from now on. Happy Piercings!!!

Re: Scooter gangs? what are they?...... reposted.....

2007-02-28T22:58:39Z

This is a real easy answer. They are wanna be 'mods' imitating the scooter groups of mods that used to cruise the border of Orange around Chapman and also Villa park. Before parents bought Bmw's for their spoiled brats there was the scooters. When we used to go to the midnight movies at the Brea mall back in '82 ,'83 etc. Big groups of them would cruise in. All wore flack jackets and were as pale as anyone I had ever seen. This was at a time when getting a tan was #1 and people didn't see the sun as a deadly enemy , so the "mods" were an anomoly. Then nobody thought showing their ass crack or touching themselves in the crotch area or saying "its all good" or hating them selves for being white was way to go. Instead everyone divided up by the music styles they listened to...NOT racial lines. There were Rockers, punkers, ...mods...., new wave Devo types surf punks from Scumington Beach who would try to grab a long hair and give him a free hair cut ,and unexplainably, people who lived to throw toast at Rocky Horror picture shows...{ it wasn't as "cool" yet to be Bi ,gay, or goth or new romantic as it in fashion today....soooo toast was thrown in the theatre. Since the original cultures that settled the So. Cal area are becoming less significant to the current population living/moving here today, then all things retro are in so people can feel a part of some thing that WAS real. Sad that kids have to re-live a movement that now has only an oldie but goody 'Who' band of 65 yr. olds to represent their origins, but thats why people are getting in to indie rock, imo,... Elvis types at the Harbour House etc. The show must go on.

Scooter gangs?

2007-02-28T22:48:58Z

can someone explain the concept of these to me? has anyone else besides me seen one before? it seems to consist of just a bunch of people cruising around on Vespas (souped up or otherwise) for kicks. kind of like a biker gang, only mellower. I was wondering if it was just an anomaly, a regular occurrence, or what....

I was cruising in my 'hood down Victoria toward Harbor one day in the greater Mesa area and ran into a bunch of them, who then turned down Harbor probably to cruise down Newport Blvd. from there. were probably coming from H.B. or somewhere. this was a few months ago, but then I forgot all about it.

I'm sorta tempted to hop on one and join in :-) seemed fun.

forest party/film shoot - Sat. March 3rd!

2007-02-26T07:31:32Z

Hello, fellow OC dwellers!

I would like to invite to a very special event in the OC. I'm a film student at Chapman University, shooting my thesis film next weekend in O'Neill Regional Park in Trabuco Canyon. It's a love story that takes place at a Burner type gathering. We are organizing a party for the film shoot and need as many real Burners, dancers, freaks, beautiful party people as possible to create the magical atmosphere of a forest party.

More Info: 949-660-1010 and http://www.tenrestaurantgroup.com/tentation/index01.html

Tentation is a cool new club in Newport Beach. The decor, the lighting, the sound, the video projections, the floor plan – it’s all just right and so easygoing. The people are really cool, and that includes the employees. Everyone who works there is friendly and that helps make the vibe so great. Most of all, though, people are there for the music and to dance. I highly recommend it.

A hoax?

2006-01-25T23:05:55Z

Not sure if this is true or not, I thought I would share since I can't do any harm to be more careful. If everything else fail, www.ticketassassin.com (I am not affiliated):

The California Highway Patrol will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy in
South Orange County starting January 25, 2006. The state estimates that 22 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 3 million will go to pay California Highway Patrol officer overtime. There will be 90 California Highway Patrol officers on duty at all times patrolling the 7 freeways.

They are the following: 73, 55, 133, 241, 57, 5, 605 freeways

Now 7 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every California Highway Patrol officers is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 minutes. They have issued 50 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers
and they are bringing all their part timers on full time.
If you live or work in South Orange County you must take one of their freeways. It's up to you how fast you are doing when they do.
This is a test by the CHP to raise the extra funds for the State of California.
The wealthy folks of South Orange County can afford this new tax.
The California State Legislators dreamed up this law to help close the budget gap or something like that. So be safe and don't forget speeding tickets are on you.

looking for good music

2005-08-19T22:13:01Z

Hey all, I am going to see if there is such a thing as a place for good "chill, fun, cool" music in OC. Something kinda "jam bandish" like, but I am not into the "OC Club" scene..... stand in line for 4 hours trying to get into some trendy place that ends up sucking.

Any thoughts?

Our line up includes Duffy, Kaos, Jackie, Just Jennie, Katherine, Lux and more!

Looking for discounts to Disneyland

2005-06-14T21:23:06Z

Hi,

My friend is getting married in two weeks and as a post wedding celebration she wanted to try to get a group of 6 people to go to Disneyland with her and her husband to be. Does anyone know of any discounts available since we are trying to ensure that everyone does not have to pay the full $53 admission? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hooping in OC...

2005-06-13T17:03:09Z

Hey, just moved to OC from LA and I was looking for locals who hoop or want to learn for mutual hooping support and encouragement.

I also started a tribe for OC Hoopers here:

http://ochooping.tribe.net/

So far, the OC scene seems kind of dead for hooping, but given how many hoopers there are in SD, LA and SF, I have to believe there are a bunch of hoopers in OC and maybe they just haven't had any common place to come together on Tribe and talk about it. So here you go.

I know that the shooting have been occuring on the 55. But the news up in SF is referring to the OC as LA.

Any news on it?

"Behind the Orange Curtain"

2005-04-11T23:56:59Z

I’m not certain if anyone ever answered this question from the “kinda sad” topic. The recorded thread ended in June. In case it hasn’t been answered I will attempt to answer it here. ;)

The phrase “Behind the Orange Curtain” is a leftover from the Cold War and our reference to the USSR, Behind the IRON Curtain. ;)

It was terribly popular to use back in Reagan years. And considering this is a very Republican county, it was attached to us by the media. Back then, OC was very uptight. If you think it is now, it was far worse in 1984.

I was born and raised in OC. I grew up in HB. A lot has changed and life doesn’t seem quite so stifling as it once did.

Anyway, I just wanted to give my two cents on the matter. :D

But how about all the other terms for the cities?

Garbage Grove
Wasteminster
Anaslime

Those are the only ones I can remember, but I know there were more. Do you guys remember or know any others?

The Land Southward

2005-04-04T23:17:17Z

Anyone like Theatre?

A friend of mine has written an original play, and it is very good. While she is based in OC, her play has been workshopped in Salt Lake City and San Diego. It has now opened in its first fully-mounted production at Hunger Artists Theater in Fullerton.

I promise I'm not just schilling here. This show is very well-written and the production is good too. It's running only another couple of weeks. Keep an eye out for the Register article or review on Friday, and have a look at the website:

U2 in OC

2005-03-31T23:38:12Z

Any U2 fans out here? Anyone going to the concert? Anyone has tickets but rather do something else?

I'd love to attend the Friday, April 1st show at the Arrowhead Pond. Am looking for two tickets or at the very least just one for myself.

Am a big U2 fan, I was online the day that the tickets went on sale but wasn't able to find any. Growing up in Monterrey Mexico, I could only dream of seeing them. They may have gone to Mexico City but I was too young and my parents wouldn't have allowed me to go. Now that I'm here, it is my chance!

Let me know of any opportunities you know of. Face value strongly preferred.

May my dream come true!

Jackie

Hi all, new in town -- any good piercing studios?

2005-03-14T22:56:15Z

hello everyone. I am a transplant from SF. I was born in Westminster and lived in Cypress for a good while, but grew up in the central valley for the better half of my childhood.

anyways, i'm looking for a good piercing studio akin to brain drops of SF(if familiar), don't really know where to go, who to ask, so I thought I'd start here. :)

thanks, jaymie

Movie Event

2005-03-04T04:12:25Z

Movie Event!

What: Movie Event

When: Sunday, March 20, 1:00 PM

Where: (email me for directions and location in Garden Grove)

Event Description: The long-promised, much-anticipated, weeks-in-the planning Movie Event is happening! Come enjoy an afternoon of mind and spirit stimulating audio/visual media with a thoughtful, well-informed audience (namely, us!) :). If this goes well, it may become a semi-regular thingy.

Screening:

The Battle of Algiers - The film that in the late 1960's was required viewing and a teaching tool for radicals and revolutionaries. Banned in France for years, former national-security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski said: "If you want to understand what's happening right now in Iraq, I recommend The Battle of Algiers."

The Power of Nightmares - This BBC documentary is top-notch and will dispell the notion that there is a vast network of terrorists out to 'destroy our freedom'.

Orwell Rolls in His Grave - Excellent documentary on the current state of the media and journalism in general. Better than OutFOXed (though that's good, too).

The Corporation - Psychoanalysing corporations to determine what kind of 'people' corporations are based on their behaviour. May be one of the best documentaries I've ever seen.

We may not get to all these, and there may be some surprises on the bill. We'll see how it goes.

RSVP with an email to me for the directions and location (in Garden Grove). Clear your schedule: you don't want to miss this! :D

Exploring beyond the Orange Curtain

2005-02-24T01:16:44Z

Feeling like all OC is like cookie-cutter Irvine? Actually, there are little gems here and there...

SHORT CUT TO NIRVANA is an award-winning documentary about the Kumbh Mela, the oldest, greatest, most fascinating festival on Earth. Yet almost no-one outside India (or OC) has ever heard of the Kumbh Mela or its message.

Until now...

Come enjoy this independent documentary about The Kumbh Mela, the biggest gathering in human history, attracting 70 million people! My friend and fellow Burner Maurizio Benazzo made it and is trying to get people to go watch it, to try to get the theaters to show it. His only sponsor was Visa... HIS own visa card! Support an independent flick that will also broaden your horizons .

From this incredible event comes a powerful uplifting message of harmony, unity and peace for all humanity.
