Ipod Movie: Catalina evacuees find shelter Cabrillo High School
When Santa Catalina Island resident Jane Lopez was ordered to evacuate Thursday because of an approaching fire, shegrabbed money, credit cards, and medications. But on Friday afternoon - after spending an uncomfortable night at a shelter for evacuees at Cabrillo High School - Lopez is regretting not taking some extra clothes.Lopez, 59, said she remained calm during the evacuation, but other island residents were in panic mode looking at the raging fire. "You don't believe it," said Lopez, a 15-year Catalina resident who works as a restaurant hostess. "It doesn't really hit you."After the fire broke out, 138 evacuees - including 52 children and 86 adults - stayed overnight at a Cabrillo gym,
sleeping on cots, said American Red Cross shelter manager Barney Berlyn.
Ipod Movie: The spirit of radio
Just walk around the small back room at Gallery 1313 to listen as the vintage portable radios hiss and squawk as you pass them by. They're hung on the gallery's walls like roosting exotic birds no one will take home from the pet store, the cute little yellow one chirping loudly as you start to leave. Vintage movie watchers may recognize the old JVC set from various teen beach flicks. And you can't ignore the Longines "Symphonette" model from the mid-'60s. It's past its prime but you can see it once had a lot of class with its wooden handle and its deliciously fake wood grain trim.The question is: What is a dotty old medium like radio doing staying up so late past its expiration date? The answer: reinventing itself.Radio Roam, the Gallery 1313 installation from Eleanor King and Stephen Kelly, is barely the tip of the iceberg in a month's worth of events that run from hot kinetic art to cool rock 'n' roll.
Ipod Movie: How do we live in the now?
Consider a man on the street, all alone but talking loudly. Ten years ago we would have judged him unhinged.
Today, his tiny earpiece and tinier microphone identify him as just another citizen of the 21st century, keeping in touch. He's an emblem of the urban scene, part of early 21st-century reality. In a movie theatre the other night, a man sitting a few rows in front of me watched a baseball game on his telephone. Since the movie was boring, part of him went to the game, till he was informed that his little screen was creating an annoying distraction.
