As the yearly count down swags and boogies to electro-night club Dub beat around the county, tourists and locals--check out the smaller news print and online sources (like my favorites) Night and Day, City Beat, the Troubador, and the Reader. This New Year's Eve San Diego will offer a variety flavored evening ranging from traditional quiet bonding at home, church watch night services, public accessible open air park parties, to mega private expensive themed festivities: 2011 is ending in our Western measurement scheme called "time" that marks our existence. It has been an intense year. For those who want and like to laugh on New Year's Eve, try Horton Plaza's new comedy stage.  http://madhousecomedyclub.com/calendar.php Mad House Comedy Club is nestled between the Panda Inn and Nordstrums on the mall's upper level. It offers Lunch and Dinner daily with a menu of steaks, salads, burgers and much more. It is on the circuit, which means audiences can enjoy

Well, it's Veteran's Day and I have been walking to ease my mind. As I walked by the Midway Museum, one of our San Diego News 8 people, Larry Himmel, was getting ready to record a segment for the evening. I shared my thoughts about creating an amateur Veteran's Day 2011 video Journal. He said, "You know, sometimes images make the most powerful statement. Do it!" And so, I selected several video shorts to frame my day's experience. A teachable/mentor moment from a respected journalist who is community oriented. I decided to share a few with Carpenoctum readers.  It was a wonderful day. Thank you Mr. Himmel! Hope all of you experienced a Veteran's Day of remembrance and celebration. Delores Fisher
