The Creative Community TV Show

Beard

Several viewers have written in to ask, "David, did you ever sport a beard?"

Yes, as a matter of fact, I did.

The Creative Community Keeps On Chuggin'

We've come quite a ways from our early "Studio B" set at The Channels, although even from the earliest shows we've had great guests like Jeff Arch (shown in this photo by Rad Schreiber), screenwriter of Sleepless in Seattle and other films.

As The Creative Community moves into 2006, we're looking to play an ever more central role in Santa Barbara's cultural life. If you have suggestions for guests you'd like to see on the program, please post a comment here!

Barry Spacks Art Show at Art Resources

Our next taping of The Creative Community "in the field" will take place this Saturday, Nov. 19, from 5-7 p.m., at Art Resources, 512 E. Haley Street, in Santa Barbara.

I'll be interviewing Barry, Santa Barbara's Poet Laureate, about his show of paintings and drawings, then a great group of poets will read poems inspired by Barry's show.

The event is free and all are welcome to attend.

Thanksgiving Special

Fans of The Creative Community will have a special treat this Thanksgiving, Nov. 24. Channel 21 will air all the episodes we've taped over the past year. As the promotional material states, this is "a cultural feast for Santa Barbara--television with some meat on its bones!"

Hope you'll "drop by" during the day to watch a show or two.

The Fiddlers' Convention Show

My apologies to viewers hoping to watch the Fiddlers' Convention show on Monday, 11/14/05. Apparently there was a technical snafu and the DVD wasn't loaded into the on-air playlist. Channel 21 advises viewers to call the station if something like that should happen again.

In any case, the show, taped last month at Stowe House in Goleta, will definitely be airing on the following dates:

Sat. 11/19/05 3:00pm
Sun. 11/20/05 12:00pm

Other airdates will follow, so keep an eye on the Channel 21 schedule:

Luis Moreno

The show running right now (11/14/05) features Luis Moreno, an accomplished actor and former member of the world-renowned farmworkers theatre company, El Teatro Campesino (1973-90). Luis also plays guitar and sings; he has recorded a CD, Cerca del Mar with Mike Mullins (mandolin) and Barret Nelson (guitar). We had a bit of technical difficulty on the show's outro, but Luis is a great guest, definitely worth checking out!
