The Death Ship Returns to Baja and Salvation
wow! what an adventure series! that was one of the most satisfying yet -- thank you!!! Loved the little tidbits like: As with Vizcaíno’s overpraising of Monterey as a harbor, writes Michael Mathes, Ascensión’s belief in the strait confused “the cartography of Northwest America for almost two centuries.” who knew that such a journey, such a marathon, such an epic story could be so fun!— December 26, 2011 11:12 p.m.
Bitter Cold and Scurvy Dog Vizcaíno’s Ships
I've stopped reading books while this series is in the Reader. This was a marathon chapter!— December 19, 2011 8:43 p.m.
Vizcaíno Meets Storms, Natives, and, Finally, San Diego
as a member of the Rabble, I have to agree - these stories say it ALL and then some! -- Seriously, I've been following this series with such intense fervor that I was nearly in tears when I read "... the day of "Cuatro Coronados" .... what a great way to end the episode. This has been one my all time favorites in the 'Unforgettable' articles - since their inception! Fabulous move on the Reader's part - thank you Jeff Smith!— November 6, 2011 3:13 p.m.
A Search for Water on the Sea
WHY hasn't someone made a series or a movie out of these adventures!? They read like some of the chapters from the 'Game of Thrones' series - at least these journies and events -- this is great stuff!— November 6, 2011 3:08 p.m.
God Blessed and the Devil Cursed Vizcaino’s Crews
loving this series!!!! love it.— October 18, 2011 8:58 p.m.

Glynn Bedington: Celebration of a Life
It's a wonderful thing, this Blog of Jeffrey Smith's. It has come to my attention that he has taken so many theatres and theater artists under his wing – he's become the spokesperson for San Diego's theatre scene. He is the last remaining arts writer who really ‘knows’ the San Diego community of artists – no one else could do what he's been doing lately. To take note not only of the triumphs and pitfalls of the stage shows, but also to put a word in for the theatres and the individual artists, as well as the community concerns at large. There is no one (that I can think of) still writing for the theatre in San Diego, who has been with the theatre community for so long and has been able to delve beneath the surface of that community without jeopardizing his arm’s-length status as a critic. Thanks for this beautiful nod to Glynn Beddington.— October 11, 2011 9:59 p.m.
St. Cecilia's Restaurant?
Thank you and Doug Jacobs for bringing the story about St. Cecilia's to light! I agree that every effort should be made to keep it in the community as an artistic venue! The arts are always on the "D" list when it comes to development, funding, promotion and other considerations; and yet, the arts give so much to the community in terms of employment, cultural growth, diversity, education, and entertainment. I truly hope that the CCDC will consider a 90-day postponement before a decision is made on the St. Cecilia Theatre space -- it has such a rich history, it would be a shame to lose yet another piece of San Diego's artistic venues.— October 11, 2011 9:45 p.m.
Trying at Lamb's Players Theatre
Good to see Doug Waldo back on stage in San Diego! And bravo to the the players and Lamb's for putting on a show with such an interesting subject matter!— August 22, 2011 4:03 p.m.
Ah, Wilderness at New Village Arts
thank you. I finally get this play!— August 14, 2011 5:11 p.m.
