Checking off: the Pasadena Education Network (PEN) has released elementary school fact sheets and middle school comparison matrix for PUSD schools, so you can get a good idea of what your children may get into (or want to get into) next year, e.g., the Doctor Who Club at Marshall, for instance
WIcked Fun: This year’s edition of Wicked Lit previewed at at Mountain View Cemetery and Mausoleum last night, and tonight is opening night. Many performances have already sold out. If you’re planning to grab one of the precious tickets for today or tomorrow, ScareLA has an offer for $6 off performances today and Saturday — just go here to get your tickets and put in JJFORTHEWIN.
Bread Camp: this sounds much more fun than boot camp: take a two day full-immersion course on breadmaking at the Institute of Domestic Technology Nov. 2 and 3. This all-things-bread immersion course will explore wild yeast – hearth-baked loaves, whole grain breads, pretzels, an assortment of cracker recipes, tortilla-making and pizza dough 101. What’s more, many recipes will be baked in the new outdoor wood-fired bread oven! Don’t worry, home oven baking instructions will be included in your class handouts along with places to source the best flour, grain, equipment and tips. Class costs $390, it’s at the Zane Grey Estate, and you can find out more here.
Hello,
Can somebody who’s experienced the Wicked Lit at the Mausoleum appropriate for children? My 8 year wants to go, but not sure if it’s too much for this age. Thanks!
Sorry, looks like my post is missing a few words. What I meant to ask is this: “my 8-year-old would like to go to Wicked Lit at the Mausoleum. Can somebody who’s gone in the past weigh in on whether is is appropriate for this age group? Thank you.
So Tim, are you going to sign up as an advisor for the Doctor Who Club?
Doctor Who club: it’s tempting, as somebody who’s followed the show since the Tom Baker days in the mid-70’s.
Wicked Lit: It’s very entertaining, but definitely adults-only. I wouldn’t let anybody under about 13 attend.
