Forget Everything You've Heard About Red Scarlet: New Red Scarlet News

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Sounds like it is back to the drawing board.  From Red founder Jim Jannard:

We have changed everything about Scarlet because the market has changed and we have discovered a lot of things in the process. We have a new vision. Wipe you minds of the past announced Scarlet. Forget the design and forget the price. It is all different now. We think you will be surprised. Glad we didn’t take any deposits…

Free Pizza

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

I am a fool for pizza. and when it is free– watch out!  Well technically- it isn’t really free.  The ad says buy one get one free, or “Bring a Friend to Lunch for FREE” or more like “trick a friend into bringing you to lunch for free!” 

The Straw Hat Pizza at 4441 East Commerce Way in Sacramento (Natomas).   2 topping pizza, salad bar and free soda refills, when you trick your friend into going and buying one lunch meal, and you mention the ad in the Best of Sacramento 2008 SN&R free on newstands now.

The musical artist, Mr. Volcano can only be described as a masked emcee with an ill mean streak who is bent on world domination, and only Dumbworld could create a video to match. The video would have to be described as Nacho Libre meets Frankenstein meets Rocky.

Sacramento News and Review: Best of Sacramento 2008

Friday, September 26th, 2008

SNR’s annual “Best of Sacramento” edition is out in print today.  I can’t see Andy Nguyen’s as Readers’ Choice Winner for best vegetarian restaurant without thinking that I liked it better when it used to cater to meat eaters like me (am I alone?)– what I would do right now for a rice noodle salad bowl with satay chicken.  Congratulations to Andy Nguyen’s just the same.

Of course the first category I looked at was the readers’ choice award for best Filmmaker.  Here were the results:

  1. Jourdan McClure
  2. Ryan Todd
  3. Mike Carroll and Sarah Kreutz (tie)

Ryan and Mike are both fantastic filmmakers, but I wasn’t as familiar with Jourdan or Sarah (although I knew Jourdan won an award for the Sac Music Seen portion of the Sac Film and Music Festival this year). 

Thank you Internet.

An interview with Jourdan for Fringe magazine and one with Sarah at Indie Fest USA where she was publicizing her movie Elsa Letterseed.  Congrats to all the winners.
