I first saw Moshe Kasher perform stand-up comedy a couple of years ago at the Punch Line in San Francisco. He’s one of those comedians who I had always heard was fantastic, but who I never had a chance to see. Within seconds, he owned the room like few comics…
After missing 2017’s Wide Open Walls, this year’s event will feature the abstract and melancholic designs by new Sacramento local (by way of China) Lin Fei Fei. At the moment, she’s painting her mural outside Holy Diver, one of Midtown’s raddest music venues for performances local and beyond. Lin produces…
For all the benefits that city living nets you, there’s one thing that every urban environment is missing: the stars. For that reason, a night of stargazing with Tahoe Star Tours is the perfect thing to complement any weekend up the mountain. While they’re available for private events, the easiest…

Devin Dawson has had a charmed career in music thus far. Back in December 2014, Dawson was attending Belmont College in Nashville when he and fellow student Louisa Wendorff posted their mashup of Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” and “Style” on YouTube. It featured the two artists standing back to back…
