The U.S. voting public decided to go in a certain direction, or at least voted to continue on the same path it has been on for theT previous four years. Closer to home, voter approval for higher taxes and more Democrat representatives have effectively turned California into a one- party state. Good luck with all that. At home, the most important issues facing us were twofold: whether to expand the Montecito Fire Protection District Board of Directors from three members to five, and who to place on that new expanded board. By a large margin (approximately 62% versus 38%), Montecito residents voted for a five- person board, which is a good thing. Montecito voters chose as their new board members John “Abe” Powell, Susan Keller, and Gene Sinser, all of whom were endorsed by this paper. They’ll join longtime board member Roy Jensen, who was re-elected, and another longtime board member, John Venable. Congratulations to all, as the voting was close and the campaign was spirited. The Military Ball The elections have held sway over our concerns for the past few weeks and we’ve been so absorbed in the various campaigns that we’ve given short shrift to some equally important upcoming events: for example, the Seventeenth Annual Military Ball of Santa Barbara, being held this Veterans Day Saturday at Fess Parker’s Doubletree Resort. It’s a military dress or black-tie optional event, inspired by Belgian-born All-American patriot, the late Pierre Claeyssens. This year’s keynote speaker is retired Air Force Colonel John Fer, who spent six years in North Vietnam as a prisoner of war at the now infamous Hanoi Hilton. Also on board will be two recipients of “The Greatest Generation Award 2012,” Sergeant Major Robert Forties and U.S. Army 101st Airborne NCO Arthur Petersen. It’s not too late find a seat at what is always a moving and enjoyable event. Please call 805-969-0695 or email rsvp@pierreclaeyssensveteransmuseum.com if you’d like to attend. For other more family-oriented events, please see the Veterans Weekend ad on page 19 of this issue. The Drowsy Chaperone Building Santa Barbara High School’s drama department, under the expert guidance of Otto Layman, is offering up another of its exceptional shows, beginning this week- of The Drowsy Chaperone end. The musical, , is a 2006 Broadway show that was nomi- Peace nated for 13 Tony Awards (winning five), including for best original score and best book. The show takes place during the Roaring ‘Twenties and comes replete with a full orchestra made up mostly of SBCC and SBHS student musicians. If you’ve enjoyed such shows as Anything Goes, Kiss Me Kate, or even the more recent Cheri Mind Steinkellner original production of Hello My Baby! that premiered at the Lobero earlier this year, you’ll no doubt find additional joy in The Drowsy Chaperone. Filled as it seems to be (I only know this secondhand; I’ll be attending this weekend) with big production numbers, dance routines from the ‘twenties (Charleston, foxtrots, tangos), silly puns, and what they’re calling “over-the-top stock musical theatre stereotypes,” it sounds like a lot of fun. Mr. Layman and company can always be counted on to deliver fully professional productions with whatever they choose to perform. The show’s stars include, as SBHS productions frequently do, many Montecito born-and-bred singing and dancing actors. Opening night is Friday, November 9, at 7 pm, and other dates include Saturday, November 10, and Thursday through Saturday November 15 to the 17, all at 7 pm. Sunday, November 18 features a 2 pm matinee. For more information, please go to www.sbhstheatre.com and look for The Drowsy Chaperone home page. You can also call 888-979-3667 for tickets ($10 for many, $5 for seniors and students, and there are apparently some $25 reserved seats available too).

We’re still growing in that area, and we Pine Trader Antiques didn’t want to compete with ourselves with the block party on Saturday. So Friday makes sense for the confer- Fall Sale Begins November 8 ence since it’s a business thing. As far as The Savoy, we lost our deal at the Canary when the hotel was sold, but the club is a great place to hold the conference, with the three floors and the music atmosphere and being right downtown in the heart of the club scene is great.

Comparisons to SXSW always come up, of course, but that’s not your goal, right? Still, while Austin has a truly thriving local music scene, can the same be said for Santa Barbara nowadays? Where do the new bands get to develop? That’s a good question. Like we’ve said since the beginning, SXSW is the ideal way to explain what we’re trying to do for people who have no idea what this is. It’s like a film festival for music. But that’s where the similarity ends. They’ve been around for thirty years and have a lot more venues. There are a lot of great artists in town, but not a lot of places to play. Our goal is to keep doing this conference and festival and make the scene happen. Whether there is one or not can be debated, but there are places like Muddy Waters, which is key to Santa Barbara music. There were more venues in the 1990s, but with electronic music, it’s a lot easier for bars and clubs to not book bands. So we have to work hard to make sure it doesn’t go away. That’s why we’re here, to give Santa Barbara a voice and showcase the town. We’ll never be Austin; Santa Barbara is a more exclusive town. But we can have something going.

Are you getting the cross-exposure that festivals are meant to bring, with bands connecting and maybe working together, and industry types discovering new artists and new ideas? Has that happened? I definitely think so. Last year for example a few things happened out of the conference. Kevin Lyman, who started the Warped Tour, who’s been here every year before 2012 – he’s only missing this year because the tour expanded to Europe right now – went out and saw some shows. He heard Owen Plant from The Sunshine 2345 Lillie Ave., Summerland Brothers and invited him on two 805.845.2618 months of Warped Tour on the spot.
