House is returning to Palm Springs this Saturday and Sunday for the first leg of the twice summer; two-day music festival-pool party mash-up.

For those living under a rock, Splash House is an electronic music-centered festival equipped with a lineup that concentrates on forward-looking, up-and-coming music producers.

Story and Photos by Pat KrauseThe PALME D’Or theatre held

another Meet and Greet with a celebrity on Saturday June 6th to promote a new film, Entourage. This film is a continuation of the HBO TV series that ran from 2004 to 2011. The film stars the principal cast from the TV show. The film chronicles the many misses and hit adventures of guys trying and making big it in movies. The film is filled with romps and misadventures of all the guys.

The cast included Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara and Jeremy Piven from the TV show. Other top named celebrities in the film are Billy Bob Thornton and Haley Joel Osment, who played his son in the movie. HALEY JOEL OSMENT held a Q&A

after the show with Bill Feingold as moderator. Osment is best known for his roles in Second Hand Lions, Pay It Forward and The Sixth Sense where he sees dead people. His role in Entourage will destroy his image as a child actor.

The movie also includes many celebrities who play fictionalized versions of themselves thru out the film. They include some big names in Hollywood and beyond. Jessica Alba, David Arguette, Warren Buffet, Kelsey Grammer, Matt Lauer, Greg Louganis, Maria Menounos, Liam Neeson, Bob Saget, Mike Tyson, Mark Wahlberg, Pharrell Williams to name just a few of the 50 celebrities who make cameos in the movie. The film is ranked 4th in this week’s poll of top movies in the weekend box

office according to USA Today. Osment answered questions

about the Movie by local Bill Feingold. He was candid about the answers and seemed to enjoy himself during the Q&A. Questions from the audience

were received and answered by Osment.

Osment is all grown up and no longer the child star. His role in this film shows him as an adult actor making the career change from a child actor to adult actor.

The end of the film left it open to making a sequel in the future. Palme D’Or says to enjoy a glass of beer or wine with the comfort of a luxury high back chair while watching the movies.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - When a 32-foot replica killer whale buzzed through the water to scare off hundreds of sea lions piled on Oregon docks, onlookers cheered. And then the dummy orca went belly-up.

The motorized fiberglass orca was brought to the seaside town of Astoria on Thursday as a sort of maritime Clint Eastwood called upon to deal with ne’er-do-wells, in this case sea lions crowding onto docks and making it difficult for locals to access their boats.

But the orca’s first day on the job was a flop.

About 1,000 people cheered as the dummy whale - with its human operator inside - took to the water Thursday night. Jim Knight, executive director of the Port of Astoria, said sea lions that were crowded onto the docks became “deathly silent.”

But as a cargo ship passed by, the phony orca started to list from the vessel’s wake. And then the bogus orca capsized.

“Our crew from the port had to go rescue the operator so he didn’t drown,” Knight said.

So what did the sea lions think about this spectacle?

“They probably think it’s dead now that it’s belly up,” Knight said. “You can’t make this stuff up.”

That was not the first fiasco for the dummy orca - which has been dubbed “Fake Willy.”

The replica whale, loaned by a whale-watching business, was delivered overland on Thursday from Bellingham, Washington. After arrival, the orca’s outboard

motor flooded and a replacement had to be found.

Sea lion numbers along the West Coast have grown sharply since they were protected under a 1972 federal law. As water temperatures increase off the coast of California because of climate change, the animals have sought cooler waters to the north in Oregon. The sea lions that have been taking over docks at the Port of Astoria are also attracted by bountiful runs of salmon and smelt in the nearby Columbia River, biologists say.

While the thousands of tourists who visit Astoria each year might find the sea lions amusing, many locals see them as a nuisance. Officials say the sea lions break docks, poop, smell,

block access to boats and eat the fish on which the port’s fishing industry and the town’s economy depends.

The Port of Astoria has tried just about everything to keep the sea lions away - including beach balls, colorful tape, chicken wire and electrified mats.

The fake orca was outfitted with recordings of real killer whale calls, especially the “call to dinner” - usually emitted in the wild after they kill a sea lion or seal.

The orca capsized before the recording could be tried out.

On Friday night, the fake orca was on a truck heading back to Bellingham for repairs and to be outfitted with better controls to make it more stable in choppy waters.

It will be back in August when sea lions return to Astoria en masse for salmon-spawning season, said Terry Buzzard, who owns the orca contraption.

Knight, the port’s director, said it’s unclear whether a fake orca can fool Astoria’s sea lions. But he is not conceding defeat. The way Knight looks at it, this whole adventure has drawn attention to Astoria’s problems with the sea lions.

“We’re excited and can’t wait for round two,” Knight said. “The battle is not over. Willy will be back.”

By Jack LyonsTheatre and Film Critic

The late British playwright and Nobel laureate in Literature, Harold Pinter, was a master of the oblique and sometimes even the opaque, when it came to complex or complicated characters and plot situations. He was a playwright that forced one to become fully engaged in what was taking place in order to understand and appreciate the slices of English life he was illuminating on the stage.

American audiences often found his work too elliptical, bewildering and esoteric to the point of losing his audience along the way; producing such comments as “boring” or “what is he trying to tell us”? We Yanks have been known to have short attention spans, causing some of us to leave the theatre at the interval shaking our heads. However, when one gets on Pinter’s wavelength, the journey can be extremely revealing, rewarding and entertaining.

Pinter’s quasi- t ragic, autob iograph ica l ly-based drama “Betrayal”, seamlessly and sharply directed by Frank Corrado, is in good hands. Corrado is considered a Pinter expert, having produced and directed Pinter’s entire canon at

Seattle’s ACT Theatre over three seasons.

The North Coast Repertory Theatre’s potent production of marriage infidelity and betrayal is full of clever directorial touches, like the timing of Pinteresque pauses and the overall pacing between the excellent ensemble cast of Carla Harting, Jeffrey Frace, and Richard Baird, with Benjamin Cole contributing as a pompous and frustrated European waiter.

Pinter’s usage of reverse chronology as a method of telling the story was innovative for its day (1978). The play begins in 1977 with a meeting between adulterous lovers, Emma (Carla Harting) and Jerry (Jeffrey Frace), two years after their affair has ended. During the nine scenes of the play, we move back in time through the various stages of their seven year affair, with the play ending in the home of Emma and Robert (Richard Baird) her husband, who is Jerry’s best friend.

The actors have insightfully captured the essence of what is usually referred to by Europeans as the coolness and passionless nature of the English. Harting nicely displays an understated English Rose exterior as well as her desire to get more excitement

out of life as the lover of her husband’s best friend Jerry. Frace as Jerry, although married with children, lets his hormones make the decision to begin his affair with Emma following an evening of too much drinking at a party. Frace is a very determined, smooth, and an accomplished seducer who knows his way around infidelity.

Baird’s knowing cuckolded Robert, is a study of a man wounded and betrayed by his best friend. Baird’s controlled bluster on the outside belies the

seething energy inside. We’re not sure what Robert is capable of doing, but over drinks in a Venetian restaurant one summer, we find out that Robert is no angel either. It’s a disciplined gem of a performance. One is reminded, at times, of the poignancy of that most achingly English of all illicit love-affair plays and movies: “Brief Encounter”, from the pen of the great Noel Coward.

The technical credits at North Coast Rep are always first rate. The creative team led by director Corrado once again

provide the splendid one-two technical punch team of Set Designer Marty Burnett and Lighting designer Matt Novotny. Costumer designer Alina Bokovikova, as always creates spot-on costumes, along with sound design by Melanie Chen.

“Betrayal” is a sophisticated and provocative production for grownups that runs through June 28, 2015.

especially one of the ways to host a summer event here,” McLean said. “We’re investing a lot in bringing out major talent, and we call it a music festival for a reason.”

A solid music lineup catered towards the young, working-class millennial has given festival goer’s a convincing reason to hit the three-venue festival. As long as the music and the overall vibe are top shelf, party seekers and the work-hard-play-harder will show up.

Having succeeded in every facet of planning and execution, the Fest has grown and evolved in the right direction in a short time. McLean is happy at the progress, audience turnout and the event as a whole, and due to the positive reception, there is more room for Splash House to evolve and expand.

“I’m definitely not going to set a limit on what it can be, but I would say, as a city-spanning music festival, we are not limited to doing three venues,” McLean said. “There is a future I see, that it kind of envelops the city, there are more than three venues and there are multiple routes.”

Through its early stages, with ticket sales rising and addition of a second weekend, the event has been steadily gaining momentum. Yet, there is more than McLean would like to accomplish – including adding more weekends.

“We made a huge commitment by buying out the Saguaro. We bought out the

Hilton this year – and we are sold out for this June,” McLean said. “We’re at a point where we can start looking into adding more venues and essentially bringing more people out.”

This year’s running will only have two weekends, but it is likely that a three-weekend version is merely a few years down the road. If making it to Palm Springs is too difficult this weekend, or in August, as well, there will be plenty of future opportunities to vibe at Splash House.

The festival itself is not the only way to enjoy Splash House this weekend. There will be additional after parties at other, undisclosed venues throughout Palm Springs.

Whether its June or August, definitely try to make it down to Palm Springs for Splash House this summer. You cannot miss the event if you are in the Coachella Valley, Southern California or anywhere and just love to have a good time.

Room / wristband packages for this weekend are sold out but attending is still a possibility with two-day wristbands available for $115. For August, there are still room / wristband packages at $180 per person, and two-day tickets for $115.

Eifman Ballets ‘Rodin’ at the Music Center

Introducing Apple Music — All The Ways You Love Music. All in One Place.

The Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg, founded in 1977 by Boris Eifman, not only allows its audience to appreciate the beauty of dance it also enables them to empathize with the scenic action on stage as they enter into a world of human passions. A fine example of the choreographer’s emotional technique was “Anna Karenina,” a ballet that translated Tolstoy’s haunting love story into dance. The result was a wordless retelling of Tolstoy’s novel that was readily understandable.

The Eifman Ballet returns to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Music Center June 12 to 14 to present “Rodin,” a ballet dedicated to the life and artistic works of the great sculptor Auguste Rodin and his apprentice, love and muse, Camille Claudel. While Rodin created masterpieces in stone, the choreographer has created a ballet masterwork dedicated to

the incomprehensible mystery of the creative process.

All ticket holders for “Rodin” can present their ticket or proof of purchase at LACMA to get $5 off admission through July 12, which includes access to LACMA’s B. Gerald Cantor Sculpture Garden featuring Rodin’s sculptures and the option to take a free docent led tour of the garden on weekends. For more information go to lacma.org.

To order tickets for “Rodin” at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion call (213) 972-0711 or go online to musiccenter.org/rodin.

••••••••••••••In Disney’s “Tomorrowland, “

we start in the present, flashback to the past, then search for a way to reach a secret place where a bright future is still possible. But is it already too late to keep the world, as we know it from self-destruction? If it sounds

complicated, well so is the plot for “Tomorrowland,” co-written and directed by Brad Bird who once described the film as a “science fiction action adventure road movie fable, kind of.”

The film is at its most enjoyable at the start when a young Frank Walker (Thomas Robinson) comes to the 1964 World’s Fair in New York with his invention that still has a few kinks in it. He brings it to the attention of a scientist there, David Nix (Hugh Laurie, TV’s Dr. House.) True to his name, Nix nixes the boys’ invention for flying through the air via his not yet perfected contraption made from an old vacuum cleaner. But a young girl named Athena (Raffey Cassidy), the same age at the time as Frank, takes a liking to him and tries to help him realize his dreams. Later, this hopeful young inventor becomes the jaded genius recluse (George Clooney).

If you were around in 1964 it was fun to revisit the N.Y. World’s Fair where Disney presented all sorts of futuristic ideas and rides like “Small World.” It was also fun to enjoy the youthful playfulness

of the kindred souls, Athena and young Frank.

In the present, the story introduces us to Casey (Britt Robertson), a very bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity who is trying to keep the NASA space center in Cape Canaveral from being demolished. Her engineer dad (Tom McGraw) works there and if the center is closed, he will be out of a job. Her methods of preservation are considered trespassing, and she is soon taken into custody. When released, she finds a mysterious, unusual pin with a big red T on it nestled in between her possessions. Where did it come from? What is it capable of doing? Will it lead to a great adventure or get her into serious trouble? The answer to the last two questions is a definite “Yes.”

Bird, who won an Oscar for his ‘practically perfect in every way’ animated gem “Ratatouille,” about a little rat who dreams of becoming a great French chef, also created two other animated treasures, “The Incredibles” and “The Iron Giant.” Somehow the animated stories were more

focused and magical than this ambitious, big budgeted film that is weighted down by too many plot twists and over budgeted special effects.

To the film’s credit, its heart is in the right place as it tells the audience that the hope for the future lies in preserving the earth, its resources and animals. But it needed judicious editing to make the plot less plodding and fewer over produced chase sequences. Shorter, focused and more centered would have been a far better route to a great big beautiful tomorrow. Rated PG for scenes of sci-fi action and peril...

If you see the film at the El Capitan in Hollywood, there are some added extras. Greg Wilson’s “The Magic of Imagination” is presented live on stage prior to the film and after the screening, there is a behind-the-scenes look at how the filmmakers created the world of “Tomorrowland” that includes costumes, props and concept drawings. Plus, see a display from Walt Disney Imagineering showcas ing D isney land attractions featured in the movie.

By Desert Star StaffWhen you hear the word

“art” you may think of a “do not touch sign,” amid the hushed

tones of a gallery or museum. But artistic expression can take on many forms, and these days, artists and musicians are bringing their work to vivid life in innovative and exciting ways.

For example, Michael B. Koep, an accomplished visual artist, award-winning poet, swordsman, touring rock musician and author, is an intriguing example of someone doing just that. A Renaissance man, Koep is known in particular for the creative ways he showcases his novels. He makes a point of mirroring his literary fantasy world when in front of an audience by doing everything from using a quill pen, to performing songs based on his book’s themes, to reading aloud near a busy bus stop, to the occasional sword fight.

His latest novel, “The Newirth Mythology: Leaves of Fire,” is the second title in a thriller fiction trilogy. The trilogy explores the theme of bringing art to life, imagining a world where paintings hold the secrets to the meaning of life and death; and scribbled words

can alter the past and reshape the present. Spanning seven centuries, “Leaves of Fire” tells of how a journal has inadvertently changed history and made myths and their characters real. More information can be found at www.MichaelBKoep.com.

With a wider scope of media platforms available for expression, multi-faceted artists

of all walks of life can use their work to bring communities together, which is what many believe it is for in the first place.

“Art should knit us all together. It should inspire, elevate and excite,” says Koep. “I like to think of art as a good conversation that you don’t want to end -- so you order more drinks.”

Melissa Etheridge, Florence + the Machine and SonnyLandreth have returned withfantastic new releases providinga growing appreciation for theirever-expanding legacies.

Artist: Melissa EtheridgeTitles: A Little Bit of Me: Live in L.A. (Shout! Factory)You might like if you enjoy: Melissa Etheridge, Indigo Girls, Bruce Springsteen

Tell me more: Available on both DVD and Blu-ray, Melissa Etheridge’s “A Little Bit of Me: Live in L.A.” captured the Grammy- and Academy Award-winning artist on the final night of her “This Is M.E.” tour at the famed Orpheum Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Dec. 12, 2014. Wonderfully directed by Kerry Asmussen, the full-length concert caught the Kansas native and her band performing more than

a dozen songs, with a mix of inspired new material off her 13th album “This Is M.E.” and classic hits providing a winning overview of Etheridge’s 30-year career. Highlights on the release include her opening Springsteen-minded salvo “I Won’t Be Alone Tonight,” infectious “Take My Number,” the confessional “Ruins” and rousing “Bring Me Some Water,” the latter that found her powering the extended blues rocker with her 12-string acoustic guitar. Information: shoutfactory.com.

Artist: Florence + the MachineTitle: How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (Republic Records)You might like if you enjoy: Kate Bush, Of Monsters and Men, Arcade Fire, Sigur Rós

Tell me more: It’s no easy task for a groundbreaking artist

to exceed the lofty expectations of an adoring following when they release a highly-anticipated new album. But for the second time in 2015, a beloved British artist has not only exceeded those expectat ions, but astounded fans with a bona fide masterwork. Blur returned after more than a decade to impress with amazing “The Magic Whip” (released in late April); now Florence + the Machine has somehow outdistanced their own brilliant 2011 sophomore effort “Ceremonials” with the just-released “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful.” Singer-songwriter Florence Welch has a soprano that is both alluring and multi-octave spanning, but it is the songstress’ nuanced and artistic approach that draws comparisons with Kate Bush that makes Florence + the Machine one of today’s most impactful

artists. On “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful,” the driving “Ship to Wreck,” cutting “What Kind of Man” and experimental electronica-tinged “Long & Lost” all have an immediate effect while revealing additional sonic layers with each listen. The symphonic title track and propulsive “Queen of Peace” boast the kind power that only a few modern-day greats (Radiohead, Sigur Rós, U2) have achieved on disc. Information: RepublicRecords.com.

Artist: Sonny LandrethTitle: Bound By The Blues (Provogue Records)You might like if you enjoy: Derek Trucks, Roy Rogers, Eric Clapton

Tell me more: Singer-songwriter/virtuoso slide guitarist Sonny Landreth has come home with his latest album “Bound By

The Blues.” One of the world’s most celebrated slide guitar players, the Mississippi native’s new 10-song release is no mere nod to Southern Blues (he grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana); the disc is rich with probing songs bolstered by Landreth’s emotive baritone vocals and wide-ranging guitar craft. Leading things off is the catchy Delta-mining “Walkin’ Blues,” one of the first blues tracks Landreth recalls learning to play; the emotive title track boasts some of Landreth’s most textured slide guitar work on the disc. The graceful “Where They Will” and “Firebird Blues” (the latter a tribute to the late Johnny Winter) shed more light on Landreth’s wide-ranging approach. Information: SonnyLandreth.com.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not auto-matically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
