David Razowski and Mo Collins August 13 @ 7.30 PM
(Gate at 7PM)

A night of Theatre and Music together on stage. This is one that is difficult to write about because it is so exciting and I want everyone to be here for it. Please take a moment and read thru this and when you're done get a ticket in time so you don't miss this one!

Razowsky, Collins w/ music by Al Rose

Going Along as They’re Making it Up!

David Razowsky and Mo Collins, two of the country’s finest comedic improvisers, pair up for an evening of unscripted comedy at The Henry Miller Library. Shooting from the hip, these navigators of the streams of consciousness will bring to the Henry Miller Library a night to remember. Each of these acts alone would be a worthy event at the Miller Library...but TOGETHER will be a show of epic proportions. Collins, a veteran cast member of MADtv, has been seen in numerous television and film appearances including Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and NBC’s hit Parks and Recreation. Razowsky, a veteran performer and former Artistic Director of the world famous Second City, has performed with Steve Carrel, Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris, and Jeff Garlin. This will be Mo’s debut appearance in Big Sur, while Razowsky is returning after 2009’s appearance in Varoom.

AL Rose

Thanks to Al Rose this event is happening (THANK YOU AL for bringing this to Big Sur!). So...instead of this websites' editor pouring out words of admiration, gratitude, and awe let's see what a few others have said (there are many more like this):

"With Warren Zevon-like wordplay, Chicago's Al Rose may be one of the cleverest singer-songwriters you've never heard of." -Sea Of Tranquility

“Al Rose tells, with wonderful flair, his remarkable stories which are often truly little masterpieces.” Rocktimes, Germany

“Every once in a while, a folk artist takes a genuinely new viewpoint and carries it to its limits” – New England Folk Almanac

“With a mixture of irreverence and soul, this veteran singer-songwriter just gets better, funnier and more plaintively incisive with each release. His latest, "My First Posthumous Release", mixes blues, country and rock influences with off-hand ease, while crafting indelible imagery. How, after all, can anyone resist a song that begins, ‘The X-rays were embarrassing’.” One of The Best Chicago Indie Releases of 2008 –Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune

Spontaneous and passionate in the spirit of Henry Miller, the music of Al Rose and the improv theater of Razowsky and Collins. 2 acts. Each act will open with a music set by Al Rose followed by Razowsky and Collins. There will be an intermission in between acts.

TICKETS HERE ($15 plus fees). $20 at the door if there are any left.

Sunday, August 29

Workshop, talk and booksigning with
Writer, Teacher and Raconteur

Paul McHugh

This event is supported by Poets & Writers, Inc. through a grant it has received from The James Irvine Foundation.

10AM - Noon
"Art of the Short Memoir" a story-telling workshop.(Limited to 15 participants)
Reserve a spot now by calling 831-667-2574
The workshop fee is $60 .

1PM - 2:30PM
Booksigning and a talk on exploring California’s coast and the need to maintain vigilance on public lands, and a reading from his new novel, “Deadlines,” a book with the tagline, “a novel of murder, conspiracy, and the media.”

Booksigning and Q&A to follow.

Paul McHugh is a fiction writer, and a writing teacher. He’ll bring those skills to the Henry Miller Library to display his story-telling workshop, as well as a reading from his new novel, “Deadlines.”

McHugh’s workshop, “Art of the Short Memoir,” helps participants utilize the craft of story-telling to create and invigorate personal tales of major and minor events, family anecdotes and histories, in order to build enduring accounts of life’s key moments to share with relatives, friends and descendants. This clinic runs 10 a.m. to noon on August 29, costs $60, and is limited to 15 participants.

Dorothea French, director of Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Santa Clara University says: Paul McHugh, “is an excellent instructor—dynamic, charming, articulate, well-prepared, and knowledgeable. He creates a relaxed, enjoyable learning environment, which is crucial for writers.”

Professor Raquel Scherr, U.C. Davis, said: “Several students came up to me after class to tell me how much you had inspired them. . . student journals referred to your talk as ‘inspiring,’ ‘engaging,’ ‘fantastic,’ and ‘brilliant.’”

“Deadlines,” a book with the tagline, “a novel of murder, conspiracy, and the media.” Set in Northern California in 2007, this gripping story brings readers into the chaos of a modern metropolitan newsroom as reporters try to solve the killing of a land-use activist on a gorgeous stretch of shoreline that’s being seized for development as a wealthy enclave. Free and open to the public, his talk and reading occurs 1-2:30 p.m.

Famed TV anchor Dan Rather says: “Every reporter worth his or her notepad is a sleuth at heart. Paul McHugh brings this truth to life with crackling suspense.

NY Times best-selling author John Lescroart says: “A companionable, rock-solid and soul-satisfying mystery. ‘Deadlines’ could not be more modern and relevant.”

During a Category III hurricane, Paul McHugh was born near the Florida Keys. As if still impelled by its winds, he blew through a few years of studying for the Catholic priesthood, chose instead to earn an honors degree in poetry, then rode around the USA on a motorcycle, searching out a new home. He found it in California. Here he celebrated a newfound sense of place – and of adventure - over 22 years as outdoors writer for the San Francisco Chronicle.
