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.

We did a little recon over the weekend and found O’Sullivan’s the place to be for their Pre St. Patrick’s Day Weekend Warm Up session: green hair and all. Looks like everyone is ready for the real thing on Wednesday when The Clay Colton Band and Paddy’s Pig will play “lively renditions of traditional Irish songs, reels, jigs, ballads and drinking songs.”

If you’ve meant to visit New Village Arts Theatre to catch the critically acclaimed play The Man Who, then this week is your last chance. The Man Who closes on Sunday February 28, 2010.
The Man Who is inspired by, but is in no way a conventional stage adaptation of, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks‘ best-selling collection of case histories about the neurologically impaired. Performed by a superb ensemble of four actors and one musician, this series of fables is an adventurous journey through the mind, as well as a demonstration of a very rare kind of dedicated theater craft.
New Village Arts production of the play has been extremely well reviewed in The North County Times, SanDiego.com, and SD City Beat. The play run Thursday and Friday night at 8 PM, Saturday at 3 and 8 PM and Sunday at 2 PM. Click here to purchase tickets online.

This morning (January 24, 2010) at 6 AM the elite runners hit the streets of Carlsbad for the Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon. After a week of storms Sunday lived up to its name and set up what has to be one of the most perfect Carlsbad Marathons in years. Temperatures were cool, skies were blue, and the the course was a party on legs.
The 10,000 runners also got to see some of the biggest, cleanest surf we’ve seen in weeks. The look on one surfers face was classic as he surveyed the waves and then looked down at the mass of humanity that stood between him and the surf. It was like a human wall. Don’t know if he ever made it across.

The San Diego Union-Tribune’s Don Norcross has a great profile on the Carlsbad Marathon’s Lynn Flanagan.
For 30 years she’s been producing running races and though the 69 year old may be pulling back a little, it doesn’t sound like she’s slowing her pace at all.
She’s still president of In Motion Inc., the family-run company she founded, whose marquee event is Sunday’s Carlsbad Marathon and Half Marathon. But she stepped back last May, passing day-to-day operations to her daughter, Christine Adams.. . “It was time,” Flanagan said.. . .The woman is hardly sitting at home, waiting to baby-sit the 11 grandkids. . . She’s taking two art classes. One room at home is reserved for her work, which apparently is improving. . . She works out with a personal trainer twice a week, runs 18 to 24 miles a week and if you called the office, it was Flanagan answering the phone this week. . . “I will probably always work,” said Flanagan, who has cut her schedule back from 50 to 15 to 20 hours. “I don’t like to use the word retire. I think it’s a bad word. I’m transitioning. To retire, rest, that’s not for me.”

Carlsbadistan’s Ivanffy-Uhler Gallery will be hosting a new show by Nanette Newbry titled Image and Memory. The exhibition of new encaustic paintings and sculpture by the artist explores a contemporary view of how memory shapes the human experience. The exhibition opens with a reception on January 28 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm.
“In my recent work, I’m interested in how memory shapes our view of ourselves and our relationship to others. With color and formal elements, I create a visual language from my own memories and experiences,” Newbry says. “They are a study in contrasts, between thoughts that are remembered or forgotten, with suggestions of objects that you may know or have seen. I build up multiple layers of wax and pigment, creating smooth or rough textures, which over time tell a story of a certain time and place.”
The Ivanffy-Uhler Gallery is located at 565 Grand Avenue, in the heart of downtown Carlsbad. Guitarist Daniel Stratman, will perform during the opening. The artist will attend the reception – refreshments will be served. For more information follow the jump.
