Nov. 12 (UPI) -- A California artist became a maritime mycologist when he took a 26.37-mile journey in a kayak made from a giant mushroom. Sam Shoemaker, a Los Angeles-based artist and fungi enthusiast, completed the solo voyage in August 2025, traveling from Catalina Island to Cabrillo Beach on the mainland in a 12-foot kayak made entirely from the mycelium of Ganoderma polychromum.

Meet the Readers Turning Santa Monica Sidewalks Into a Book Club

SANTA MONICA - Generation Z has gained a reputation as the online generation seeking offline connection. Young entrepreneurs Samantha Dockser and Morgan Messing are using social media to bring people outside through their walking book clubs. Preoccupied LA is the duo's hub for weekly book event roundups and their signature monthly book clubs on Instagram and Substack. Since launching in 2024, the platform has gained thousands of followers and expanded to include 12 book club chapters across the U.S. and Canada. Dockser and Messing met shortly before forming Preoccupied. Messing's author-focused social media company Logue Social, of which Dockser is now a partner, hosted an event and invited Dockser, who has her own social media following as a book influencer. The two hit it off and became friends, bonding over the fact that there appeared to be no centralized resource for finding book events. "There are so many book events," said Dockser, "and we were just feeling frustrated that we couldn't Google a place that would list all of them for a week." Preoccupied was their solution. As their community grew, the pair realized that they had created a group of people who might be interested in an event of

It's ‘Harvest Festival' time at LA County Parks, and admission is free

There's a sweet and easygoing road between Halloween and Thanksgiving, a route that contains some of the mellowest and most golden days on the calendar. You might not always need a sweater during these warmer LA days, nor even your coziest pair of socks, but early November can put images of pumpkins in your mind, and critters gathering acorns, and colorful leaves, even here in Southern California where palm trees are the arboreal icons.

Gram Parsons celebrated in song by Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello on eve of his Rock Hall induction

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Joy and sorrow were in harmony at a musical tribute to Gram Parsons , the country-rocker who on Saturday will enter the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 53 years after his death at age 26. At the legendary Los Angeles-area Troubadour club, Parsons’ songs as a member of the Byrds , as a founder of the Flying Burrito Brothers and as a solo artist essential to rock's early 1970s turn toward country were performed Wednesday night by Elvis Costello , Sheryl Crow , the Black Crowes and, most important by far, Emmylou Harris . In a partnership that lasted less than two years, Parsons and Harris combined to create some of the most heartaching harmonies ever recorded. Then he died from an overdose in 1973. Before she sang a song many consider the pinnacle of that partnership, “Love Hurts,” with Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Harris said, “Gram taught me this one. We did it a lot of times.” Then she added, quietly as if to herself, “But not enough.” Harris, who had been an unknown folk singer when Parsons met her at a club in Washington, D.C., had thought she'd

Fritz Coleman – Great Fun In His Third Year as the Longest-Running Solo Show in the History of the El Portal

One of the things about living in Los Angeles is bumping into people that the rest of the country only see on screen. Years ago, I went up an elevator in West LA with Dustin Hoffman and politely thanked him for his amazing performance in “Death of a Salesman” on Broadway years earlier. More recently, we saw Jay Leno in Hermosa Beach doing an impressive stand-up routine.
