How did San Diego go from two dozen drive-in theaters to only two?

I wonder if any other city ever had a drive-in where migrant workers formed impromptu brothels in the bushes and fields around the theater? Prostitutes would come in, a few mattresses were laid on the ground, and men lined up for their turns with the working women. Police raids occasionally resulted in a burst of men and women, in various stages of dress, leaping over and through the drive-in fence to run through the lot, seeking escape from whichever authorities were pursuing them...

As I Lay Dying singer arrested for alleged murder plot

For a more detailed *Reader* report on the case, including Lambesis' divorce proceedings apparently leading up to the current allegation, see Eva Knott's post in today's News Ticker blog: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/news-ticker…

San Diego burlesque dancers spend every dime on costumes

Great profiles of these local entertainers. I was amused by the quote that "Burlesque is blowing up in San Diego," though - for years, our city was home to one of the most famous burlesque theaters in the nation, the Hollywood Burlesque, which was featured in motion pictures and whose various incarnations (including a run as a legit Broadway-style theater) long anchored a sold block of downtown pre-Gasplamp acreage. Built in 1913, the venue was originally known as the Lyceum, and then the Liberty, before becoming the Hollywood Burlesque in 1936. The 1948 film *Hollywood Burlesque* was shot in the bawdy hall -- once dubbed "San Diego's most famous dirty little secret" -- featuring well-known striptease dancers (including the iconic Lili St. Cyr) and various vaudeville acts. Owner Bob Johnson had started at the Liberty as a concession clerk; he ended up with a house on Fort Stockton Drive, a Cadillac, a box at the Del Mar racetrack, and his own thoroughbred Hollywood Theatre Stables, plus he ran the popular downtown hangout Bob Johnson's Sports Palace. Business at the Burlesque died down as porn became more prolific, and the theater closed in February 1970. Then, Pussycat Theater co-owner Vincent Miranda (who also owned, and lived part-time, at the Hotel San Diego on Broadway) negotiated a $3 million deal to purchase around two square blocks downtown, including two hotel spaces, several retail shops, and the old Hollywood Burlesque. He refurbished the theater exterior and interior, spending around $250,000 to remodel and install red carpeting and wallpaper. The resultant 417-seat playhouse was renamed the Off Broadway Theatre and reopened March 16, 1971, a day officially declared by the City "Off Broadway Day." The debut production was *Anything Goes*, featuring movie star Dorothy Lamour and Sterling Holloway (best known as the voice of Winnie the Pooh). From there, Miranda hired various producers to stage ambitious musicals like *Guys and Dolls*, as well as hosting touring productions of shows like *You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown*.

What 4th&B will be

I'd quibble with the assertion that there's plenty of room for more EDM at local venues, but it's Lyons' OTHER plans for the old 4th & B building that I find promising. That "big box" interior and its vista-like line of sight will be perfect for multimedia and filmed events. Lyons was one of the guys behind the original Minneapolis club Uncle Sam's, which (after becoming First Avenue) was the local used for much of Prince's *Purple Rain* movie. Plain old rock concerts would be welcome as well, especially with the promised new sound and lighting system and -- finally -- breathable air. Remember, there was a time when downtown was running concerts several times each week, at multiple venues like the California Theater, the Fox Theater, Spreckels, the Civic Theatre, Golden Hall, in Balboa Park, and at smaller niche clubs south of Broadway that brought in big acts like the original Soma, the Skeleton Club, etc.

Thank you, Johnny Depp

The Reader's feature length overview of San Diego's surprisingly large kid(die) rock scene covers adult ensembles such as Hullabaloo, Kathryn Cloward, Astra Kelly, Cowboy Jack Johnson, David Rees, and Larry Keough, as well as actual local kids with bands like the Garcia Three, Pink Army, and many more - http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/jam-session…

Movie Poster Rejects You've Never Seen: Jaws, Batman, Supergirl, more

I think we have a winner with the identification of "Biggles: Adventure in Time" - thanks, Bibbs! "God's Gun" is a possibility for the western art, although all the other poster art from that production house was from the mid-80s rather than the 70s -

Such a Bee

Always interesting to read about how our brain perceives things like color – I “suffer” from an ocular malformation that prevents me from seeing the full range of colors like most people. I particularly have trouble telling yellow from orange from red. It’s all one shade to me. I’m not even sure I’ve ever SEEN what most people perceive as “orange” (other than on LSD, which I’ll get back to). My girl sends me to the store to buy oranges, I’d bring home round lemons if there weren’t signs…. Imagine what that was like as a kid. At Halloween! To this day, friends tease me with “color tests.” “Hey Jay, what color is THAT?” And they snicker when I’m apparently “wrong” (which is really more a matter of how my eyeballs translate differently the same stuff they see). So I see the world in more or less sepia tones, something closer to monochromatic than psychedelic. That guy who did the Alien paintings, H.R. Giger, I think he has the same vision defect. And YET – I’ve colored comic books for a living! See, I UNDERSTAND the full range of colors, thanks to RGB color scales we used to do color separations with. I can tell you the exact mix of tones that equals orange. But I can’t SEE orange. I can remember, as a kid, thinking the whole world was playing a mean prank on me with this orange crap… So, yeah, our perception of reality is at the whim of how our eyeballs are shaped. And how they’re wired to our brain. Ask a bee or a fly to describe what they see and (if they could reply) I bet you’d hear stuff only Tim Leary has imagined.

Record-release roundup

Also: Drummer Ilan Rubin plays on the new Paramore album and has rejoined Nine Inch Nails, but he’s keeping his New Regime alive with the May 7 debut of Exhibit A. “When it came time for a third release, I had enough material for almost two full-lengths,” says Rubin. “But, unlike my first two albums, these songs weren't written with a definitive vision in mind. I realized that this broader spectrum of ideas was an exciting thing. I could release the music as a series of EPs. I call them 'Exhibits,' a collection that I can and will constantly be adding to.”

In P.B. the hotter you are the easier it is not to care

Nice to see another first-person autobiographical cover feature from Maggie Young - been quite awhile since your (excellent) "Phony Navy Wife" cover story!

I Wish I ties the past with the present

Outtakes: MOST PAINFUL FAIL? Cate: “Just tons of sprained ankles and shinners from my skateboard.” Guevara: “While waterskiing, my dad broke his shoulder when he tried to ski onto the sand too fast and flew out of his skis. I bet that looked pretty funny.” WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A MILLION DOLLARS? Cate: “Save, invest, pay off the whip.” Guevara: “Buy a building downtown and throw a non-stop party for a year.” Choy: “Try not to spend it all.” BEST ADVICE? Cate: “My friend Rock told me to slow down on my backswing. My golf game sucks.” Guevara: “From Motorhead, ‘Eat the Rich.’” Gamboa: “One of my bosses in retail once told me about the five-P rule: Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance.” BIGGEST POLITICAL CONCERN? Guevara: “I’m afraid people have succumbed to the worst form of mind control. They’ve been made to feel ineffectual, having the last two Presidential elections rigged and feeling powerless against their nation being thrown into war. It has us all feeling like the people don’t make decisions in this country anymore.” Choy: “Troop pullout. Who’s footing that bill, and who’s protecting us?”
