With all the storms and floods we’ve been seeing on the news, we thought we cruise to the beach to see how Carlsbadistan is holding up. We ended up with a minute and a half of exactly why people who live anywhere else always say they hate us. . .

Practitioners of what we like to call the SoCalChris flavor of Christianity who also snowboard and skateboard (and we know there are a lot of you in Carlsbadistan) will be stoked to check out the film Created To Create.
Created to Create is the story of a group of unwitting teenage skateboarders and snowboarders that when faced with the question “Why were you created?” yell back loud and clear. Professional skateboarder Christian Hosoi leads you through ten years with this band of boarders as they travel America doing what they were created to do.
The film which profiles Boarders For Christ premieres Monday November 17, 2008 from 6:30 to 9:00 PM at The North Coast Calvary Chapel, 1330 Poinsettia Lane, Carlsbadistan, CA 92011. The free show will also feature live music by Caleb Jude Green.

Top-Flite (Callaway’s golf ball brand) has had some sales trouble, but the Carlsbad company is not down and out. While rap commercials have almost unilaterally sucked, this one is pretty damn funny. And it was all filmed in Carlsbadistan. Notice anything familiar?

This trailer is from the film Drips by group of Carlsbadistanians who call themselves Soonami Productions. Their newly launched website describes them like this:
We are a group of people passionate about film, theatre, music, photography, video production and fine art. As artists, we are interested in working with local San Diego artists and others across the U.S. to pursue artistic projects of these types. Through the Web and other technologies we hope to take advantage of redefining what community is by working with those who share our passions and values whether near or far away.
Local creativity at its finest. No doubt.

As the nation remembers the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. today by taking the day off work, it’s not a bad idea to remind ourselves of what his dream was all out. Here is the entire speech delivered in Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963.
