Open Mic Night was Virtually Lovely
April's First Thursday Open Mic Night Took Place on Zoom
Thanks to Open Mic Night organizers Gisselle Ruiz and Analiz Castillo for presenting a warm and engaging Open Mic Night on Thursday, April 4th that let us forget about the pandemic for at least a few hours.
Over fifty people tuned in and twenty performers signed up for their 5 minutes "on stage." Most performers sang and accompanied themselves on guitar. There were covers, originals and one poet chimed in. In keeping with the moment, the tunes were thoughtful, lovely, and some a little sad. Thanks to Jackson Greer, Liz Lopez, Chris Huff, Analiz Castillo, Keji Sojobi. Joselyn & Don, Lee De Young, Robert Brandin and many others for sharing your musical talents. And our host Gisselle (who is also Grand Vision's Music Education Coordinator) was cool, calm, collected and a beautiful singer too.
The audience offered virtual claps and thumbs up, and filled the chat box with words of love and appreciation. Thank you to all who participated, for helping to recreate the warm Annex vibe of music and community. More virtual events coming soon!

Warner Grand Theatre Gets Lighting Revamp
The historic Warner Grand Theatre, San Pedro's opulent Art Deco gem, is ready to move into a new era of spectacular events, with help from Kinetic Lighting.
The full lighting package, funded by the City of Los Angeles at the strong encouragement of Councilman Buscaino, offers the Warner Grand Theatre multiple benefits, not the least of which is a far superior entertainment experience.
Not only that, but the theater will cut its stage lighting power costs dramatically - possibly as high as 90%. The venue will also save on both the labor and the cost of lamps because change lighting looks is completely digitized. The upgrade to color-changing fixtures eliminates the need to cut and use gel in fixtures; moving lights allow for fewer lights to be hung for specials; and motorized zoom on the pars means no need to change lenses.
