Padaro Lane’s Trees Might Just Get Spared
••• “Did the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum building sell?” emailed T. “No sign of a ‘for sale’ sign on the building.” Developer Ed St. George’s SBID LLC paid $3 million for 21 W. Anapamu Street in May. No clue what his plans are. He had announced in April 2025 that he was “done” with Santa Barbara and has been focusing on the Santa Ynez Valley; perhaps the 1903 building was too good to pass up.

Roger McGuinn’s Rickenbacker Rings Through the Lobero
Roger McGuinn | Santa Barbara, California | September 12th, 2026 - photos by L. Paul Mann.

Santa Barbara Gets a Second Dose of Brave New Work
“Brave New Work is not a series of talks about the future. It is a series of encounters with what the future means,” said founder Michael Delgado. At last year’s inaugural edition of Brave New Work, a sense of seeking definition of purpose and vision hovered over the series, but Delgado and his team are back with a vengeance for year two of what is essentially a seminar and exhibition program geared around the inevitable interface of art and technology — including elements of AI and a broad canvas of topics and guests.

Spencer Mackenzie’s The Throwdown Cornhole Festival 2026
Aug. 21 through Aug. 23 marks the weekend of the largest cornhole festival in the world: Spencer Mackenzie’s The Throwdown. Each year since 2010, a local Ventura seafood restaurant named Spencer Mackenzie’s has thrown a huge cornhole tournament.

Every year, the tournament attracts around 2,500 cornhole players, 15,000 festival attendees and over $25,000 in payouts which makes it the most recognizable tournament among the cornhole community.
