What's really going on? As most of you know, the Alpine lifestyle plays a huge role in what Sacvibe promotes during winter and spring, so we track weather systems very carefully and NEVER rely on what the talking heads say on television, but instead, use Unisys' stationary satellite 22,000 miles above the equator and focused on the United States. So what's in store this weekend? We say rain thru Saturday with lots of new snow above 7,000 feet just in time for Spring ski season! The Nat'l Weather Service put out a Winter Advisory for Saturday with winds up to 50 MPH at the peaks. Wherever you go, stay warm, this system hails from way up north around Alaska. March 13 - 14: Silver Belt Bonzai, Downhill Ski-Cross. Last year's winner, Daron Rahlves went buck wild on the course taking first. Local hommie Errol Kerr will also be on deck with nearly 100 other bad asses. If you are looking for some inspiration to up your technique, this is the race to watch. Sugarbowl, located just behind Donner Lake off HWY 80, reports 100+ inches at base and 160+ inches at the peak. if you haven't been, 'it's your turn." If you haven't seen this video, it's one of the best from the '09 season we've seen. Yes, we were there so this ain't all hype, it's the real deal. March 13, Saturday: Pink Floyd Laser Extravaganza at The Crest Theatre. March 14, Sunday: Trombone Shorty comes to Harlows with local funk & R&B outfit, The Nibblers. If you like to dance, but not into the 'club' scene, this is your chance to check out one of the best in the business. Both bands represent mad skills on stage. St. Patrick's Day Events, March 17 Saint Patty's R District Pub Crawl will take place at locations along the R Street Restaurant Row (between 14th & 15th streets) in Sacramento. Conan O'Brien at Sacramento Memorial Auditorium May 6.
Disney's jump down the 3D rabbit hole has scored big at the box office beating even Oscar winning film, Avatar. $116 million to Avatar's $77 million for opening weekend. "In theaters with multiple formats, we saw that the Imax 3-D sold out first, then regular 3-D, and then 2-D," said Disney distribution President Chuck Viane.

Bassnectar slams into South Lake Tahoe's, Mont Bleu on March 13 (Saturday). Sacvibe first scoped this phenom out while looking for music to remix for Vans Tahoe Cup '06. For the montage, see below. Bassnectar has also become a namesake around Burning Man circles, famous for his superfreak style sets. One of the few true producers in the industry, this dj doesn't just spin other people's jams, in fact, we think he doesn't at all.. Show at 7pm, tix $29, GA. Afterparty at club bleu ($10 before 12:30 am). St. Patricks Day Block Party at de Vere's Iris Pub
DMB, arguably the most commercially successful band of 2009, has announced a world tour supporting their platinum-certified, GRAMMY-nominated Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King. The tour hits Northern California for three nights including: The Sleeptrain in Marysville on August 27, August 25 in Concord and Shoreline on August 28. Three time GRAMMY nominee, Raphael Saadiq (Tony! Toni! Tone!), is supporting the tour. Raphael will also be performing at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver with India Arie. Raphael’s video for “Staying in Love” has been chosen as the iTunes Music Video of the Week and you can watch it here. The Eagles are one of those bands whom need no introduction (as if Dave Matthews Band did). A few months ago, Eagle's guitar player, Timothy B. Schmidt, played The Crest downtown to a packed house. He wrapped things up by saying, "I'm coming back to Sacramento with another band in April." The audience erupted with laughter and applause as this could only mean one thing, The Eagles would be here. |
