On Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 7 PM Carlsbadistan’s Museum of Making Music is presenting an evening of music and conversation in a special multi-media performance combining live music, discussion, and video presentation by two renowned American electronic music pioneers, composers, and synthesists: Dr. Herb Deutsch of Hofstra University and Dr. John Eaton of the University of Chicago.
The program starts with music and conversation by Dr. Deutsch (pictured above), whose serendipitous encounter and collaboration with Dr. Moog in 1964 launched the development of the Moog synthesizer and impacted the future of electronic and rock music in the U.S. Then, the evening will continue with a video-presentation and demonstration by Dr. John Eaton, MacArthur Fellow and recognized composer and performer of electronic and microtonal music.
If you, like us, prefer music of a more electronic nature, then this presentation should not be missed.
Tickets are $10 ($7 for members and students) and can be purchased by clicking here.

Our favorite early New Year’s celebration went down last night at Carlsbadistan’s Legoland park. Reveler’s dropped a brick on 2009 at 6 PM.
The festivities were topped off by a dazzling fireworks display that illuminated the 128-acre family theme park and was the first to light up San Diego’s night sky. . . Mini revelers rocked out in party hats, glow bracelets and special fireworks viewing glasses during four fun family concerts featuring pop-rocker Justin Roberts and the Not Ready for Naptime Players, The Jumpitz, one the hottest children’s entertainment groups in the nation; Nine-year-old hip-hop artist Lil Niqo; and Pink Army, an all girl band based in San Diego.

Everything went as planned this afternoon at the Carlsbadistan Village Faire. Santa arrived by fire engine, the orchestra played, the Lancer Dancers danced, and everyone got free cookies. Not a bad Sunday afternoon at all.
Santa and his elf discuss some seriously detailed Christmas wishes. It’s always good to be very specific.

The Holiday at the Leo Carrillo Rancho, held Saturday December 5, 2009 seemed a little smaller and more subdued than last year, but that didn’t stop those who attended from kicking off the holiday season with smiles.
Kids frosted cookies and built crafts, while parents gathered on the faux lawn in front of the Rancho to listen as the Carlsbad High School Chamber Orchestra played classic Christmas songs.
Face painters transformed kids into fairies, sprites, and creatures of all kind. Christmas movies played in the barn, horse and carriage rides took visitors for a night ride through the Rancho, and in La Cabaña down by the pool Miss Carlsbad and her court helped Santa meet and greet all the kids brave enough to sit on the old man’s knee.
Follow the jump for more scenes from Holiday at The Rancho 2009.
