THIS IS THE NIGHT FOR DINNER AT THE LONGEST RUNNING DINNER SHOW IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. (YES, I COPIED FROM THEIR WEB PAGE.) 8888888888888888 Flamenco IT IS WRITTEN BY THE ANCIENTS: “If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it.” Flamenco dancing is a thunderous, soulful, sometimes melancholy dance that originated in Andalusia, Southern Spain. Watching these dancers expose their emotion and passion through their strong and precise motions is not only beautiful, but extremely moving. Flamenco combines pride, strength, pain, and passion through aggressive but purposeful movements with the dancers’ feet. Café Sevilla is home to the longest running Flamenco Dinner show in Southern California. Every Saturday night at our San Diego, Long Beach and Riverside locations, we offer a three-course dinner menu featuring a salad, the famous Spanish dish Paella Valenciana or short rib/salmon duet, and for dessert, Crema Catalana, the restaurant’s award-winning chocolate espresso creme brulee. A tapas menu, full bar, eclectic wine list and other menu upgrades are also available for à la carte purchase. This Spanish dinner is combined with a breathtaking two-part Flamenco Dance performance. Our dancers are at the top of their field, having been trained in Spain and teaching their own Flamenco classes. These shows are a sensory indulgence of sight, sound, and taste, leaving our guests with a piece of truly Spanish culture. FICTION AND FACT FROM DON ALLEN’S ALMANAC: FLAMENCO IN JUAREZ, MEXICO IN THE EARLY 50’S I WAS KIND OF RAISED IN NORTHERN MEXICO. I WENT TO NIGHT- CLUBS ALMOST SINCE I CAN REMEMBER. THERE WERE TWO CLUBS IN JUAREZ THAT HAD FLAMENCO DANCE PROGRAMS. SO I WAS ABLE TO HEAR AND SEE THE SPANISH GUITAR MUSIC AT ITS FINEST. THERE WAS ONE GUY WHO PLAYED HIS ACOUSTIC GUITAR LIKE I HAVE NEVER HEARD TO THIS DAY. THE HAUNTING SOUND OF FLAMENCO MUSIC IS PROFOUND. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A DANCER SMILE. THEY ARE ALWAYS SO VERY SERIOUS IN THEIR MOVEMENTS AND THEIR EXPRESSIONS. THE STOMPING AND FOOT MOTION HAVE VERY STRONG MEANINGS. I WAS NOT SMART ENOUGH THEN OR NOW, EVEN AFTER SEEING WHAT WE SAW LAST NIGHT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT MEANS. AND LIKE MANY THINGS THAT I DONT UNDERSTAND I GIVE THEM A NAME . I HAD DECIDED MANY YEARS AGO THAT FLAMENCO DANCERS WOULD MAKE “GREAT COCKROACH KILLERS”.. SO THIS WAS THE FIRST THING I TOLD VICKI WHAN WE DECIDED TO GO TO THIS DINNER.. WE WOULD SEE “COCKROACH KILLERS” AND EAT SEAFOOD PAELLA.. LIFE COULD NOT BE ANY BETTER. OH! YOU NEVER SEE COCKROACHES IN A FLAMENCO DANCE JOINT. SO IT IS CLEAR: THE DANCERS DO A GREAT JOB. SO LET IT BE WRITTEN... SO LET IT BE DONE! WE GOT IN LINE VERY EARLY. WE WERE GIVEN A WOODEN TOKEN THAT WE HAD TO PRESENT WHEN WE GOT TO THE PERSON WHO SEATED US. WE GOT THE FRONT TABLE FOR TWO. RIGHT NEXT TO THE STAGE! WE COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER SEAT. THIS IS VERY GOOD... AND TYPICAL OF A GUY HAVING A GOOD TIME IN A NIGHT DINNER CLUB. THIS IS REALLY A NEAT PLACE TO COME.. AND JUST SEE AND ENJOY LIFE.. JUST LOOK AT THE NEXT PHOTO.. GREAT TAPAS AS THESE GUYS CALL THEM.. LAMB, PORK, SEAFOOD & VEGETABLES... THEY LOVE IT ALL! . ABOVE THE CAST IS GETTING PREPARED.. THEY ARE DISCUSSING WHAT THEY WILL DO.. THEY WILL BE OFF AND RUNNING SOON! 888888888888888 THE SALAD WAS PRESENTED. IT HAS SOME TYPE OF BIG LEAF RED WEEDS IN IT. WITH SOME TYPE OF ‘SLICK-EM”.. THEY WERE GOOD.. THEY SLID RIGHT DOWN. MY GOSH! THEY ARE OFF AND RUNNING.. “RUN LITTLE COCKROACH: RUN!” THEY ARE AFTER YOU! THIS LADY HERE WAS REALLY GOOD.. THE SCARF MEANT SOMETHING?? SHE DANCED WITH IT AND HER FOOT MOVEMENT WAS PROFOUND! NO, I DON’T UNDERSTAND IT.. BUT I KNOW I CAN’T DO IT. SO THEREFORE IT MUST BE GOOD! BLESS HER HEART.. SHE WORKED UP A HEAVY SWEAT. YOU WOULD NOT NOTICE IT IF WE WEREN’T UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL. NOTE IN THE NEXT PHOTO WHEN SHE WAS DONE, SHE TOOK OUT HER “MENOPAUSE FAN” AND REALLY GAVE IT A WORKING OUT. SHE WAS HOT, HOT, HOT! THE OTHER LADY: PLENTY GOOD IN HER OWN RIGHT.. GREAT EXPRESSIONS. GREAT HEEL MOVEMENT. 8888888888888 THEN IT IS THE GUY’S TURN. LOOK OUT! CHECK HIS SCARF. IT LOOKS COOL ON HIM. I MAY NEED TO TAKE ONE OF MINE AND SEE IF I CAN KILL COCKROACHES LIKE HIM.. GREAT FUN.. REALLY HE WAS VERY GOOD. I NOTICE THAT HE IS LEARNING THE SINGING PART ALSO. VERY IMPORTANT TO SING THE CHANT! PAELLA VALENCIANA Paella is a VALENCIANA rice dish with ancient roots that originated in its modern form in the mid-19th century near Albufera lagoon on the east coast of Spain adjacent to the city of Valencia. THIS IS WHAT IS IN THE PHOTO THAT WE HAD SERVED.. WE EACH EVEN HAD A SMALL SCALLOP WHICH MAKE IT AS ORIGINAL AS IT CAN BE.. SEE THE SHELL? VERY EXCITING! 88888888888888888 THOUGHTS & REMEMBRANCE BY DON ALLEN PAELLA CUBANA MY GOOD FRIEND, EVELIO DOMINGUEZ IS FROM CUBA. HE TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN HIS PAELLA CUBANA.. IN THE PAST HE HAS PREPARED IT MANY TIMES FOR OUR FAMILIES.. HE PUT CHICKEN AND SHRIMP IN HIS. I THINK WHAT ENDS UP IN THE DISH IS ALWAYS UP TO THE GUY COOKING IT. BEFORE HE AND I ARE BOTH DEAD AND GONE: WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER FOR ANOTHER GOOD PAELLA. AT THE SECOND HALF, NOTE THEY CHANGED CLOTHES AND HAD PEOPLE FROM THE AUDIENCE COME AND DO THE DANCE... THIS WAS THIS YOUNG MAN’S BIRTHDAY AND THIS WAS HIS FIRST TME. FRANKLY, HE WAS AS GOOD AS THE DANCERS WERE. NEAT TO SEE.. 888888888888888 THE THREE OF THEM HAD A VERY GOOD “FINISHING STOMP.” THIS WAS A REALLY FUN NIGHT AND GREAT FOOD! THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO COME AND YOU WILL REMEMBER IT.

I often think of how lucky I am compared to so many people who work in a Mark Petrie Secretary corporate environment, where competition rather than collaboration is Joyce Wilder Arlene Prater the standard operating procedure. Joyce Sapp This collaboration stems from a common purpose—to conserve Treasurer Kitty Sparrow the increasingly threatened flora and heighten public awareness and Dale Snyder Anneke Stender concern over the disappearance of plants around the world. It is my Richard Stevens belief that this common engagement is why working in a botanic garden President/CEO Debbie Wilson is one of those “labor of love” professions.

    GROWING GARDENS: BOTANICAL GARADENS, PUBLIC SPACE AND CONSERVATION A Thesis presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Arts in History by Terra Celeste Colburn June 2012 © 2012 Terra Celeste Colburn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP ii TITLE: Growing Gardens: Botanical Gardens, Public Space and Conservation AUTHOR: Terra Celeste Colburn DATE SUBMITTED: June 2012 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Dr. Matthew Hopper, Assistant Professor COMMITTEE MEMBER: Dr. Joel Orth, Assistant Professor COMMITTEE MEMBER: Dr. Matt Ritter, Associate Professor iii ABSTRACT Botanical Gardens in the Twentieth Century: Advent of the Public Space Terra Celeste Colburn This thesis examines the history of botanical gardens and their evolution from ancient spaces to the modern gardens of the 20th century. I provide a brief overview of botanical gardens, with a focus on the unique intersection of public participation and scientific study that started to occur within garden spaces during the 20th century, which still continues today. I reveal the history of gardens that influenced the uses of gardens today, with a focus on: the first ancient gardens and the dependency societies had on them, the influence of science in gardens starting in the Enlightenment period, the shift away from scientific gardens and the introductions of public gardens in the early 20th century, and the reintroduction of science into gardens during the conservation movement of the 1950s. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to Dr. Joel Orth for providing guidance, direction and encouragement on this thesis and to Garrett Colburn for editing multiple drafts.

At the same time, physical buildings such as chapels have a way of bringing us as humans together to celebrate life with a unity of spirit and thoughtful reflection. The combination of these ideas has brought about the new Nuestra Señora del Jardín (Our Lady of the Garden), a multifaith sanctuary opening in the Vallarta Botanical Garden with a public blessing this coming March 20th, Palm Sunday.
