Last night (March 20, 2010) the Carlsbad Lion’s Club held their 56th Annual Miss Carlsbad Scholarship Pageant at the Carlsbad Cultural Arts Center. And according to the North County Times, the new Miss Carlsbad is Alaina Crabtree (pictured left) and the new Miss Teen Carlsbad is Skyler Blankenship (pictured right).
First runner-up in the Miss Carlsbad Pageant was Courtney Jones, second runner-up was Kathryne Lowman, and third runner-up was KellyAnn Boyce. Allie Phinney took the titles of Miss Photogenic and Miss Congeniality. . . First runner-up in the Miss Teen pageant was Natasha Maldi, second runner-up was Tina Li, and third runner-up was Caitlin Clark. Miss photogenic was Kelly Simek and Miss Congeniality was Mercedes Harvey.
Apparently, the queens and their courts will “spend the year of their reign volunteering at many civic and charitable events.” We knew there was some kind of point to all this. . .

When we met Jess Gibson last summer and had no idea he was working on an Adult Fans Of Lego “blocumentary.” Now, thanks to Gizmodo, we know. Check it out. It’s 30 minutes long and is required viewing for anyone who lives with in five miles of Legoland California.
It will help us all understand a little more what’s going on back behind the Flower Fields.

The Coast News gets the straight scoop on the McTwist and Shaun White’s Double McTwist 1260 from the trick’s originator Mike McGill (seen above at the Encinitas YMCA).
“It definitely feels good when somebody like Shaun White gives you props for your trick,” said McGill, who landed the first McTwist at a Swedish summer camp in 1984. “I made the trick and I still couldn’t believe how he was going to do two (spins) because you are going blind twice.”
Nice reminder of where things have come from and where they’re going.

John Steinbeck is regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language and we as Californians can be very proud that he is ours. The Carlsbad Library is celebrating Steinbeck in the month of April as the community reads Steinbeck’s classic road book Travels With Charlie: In Search of America.
In 1960, author John Steinbeck took a cross-country road trip with his poodle, Charley, to reacquaint himself with the America he’d written about all his life. The result was “Travels With Charley: In Search of America,” an intimate look at one of America’s greatest authors. . . . Other events scheduled for April include a Steinbeck film series; a program on the travels of early Carlsbad residents, presented by the Library’s Carlsbad History Room; a travel writing workshop; and Carlsbad Playreaders presenting “The Grapes of Wrath.”
Steinbeck’s son Thomas Steinbeck wlll discuss his legendary father in person on Saturday, April 24, 2010. If we can get if for our Kindle app, we’re on it.
For more information on all the Steinbeck events in April follow the jump.
