The El Corazon is a bar, featuring mostly rock/punk live music.
Here is one of my favorite review comments from citysearch:
This place is great if you like it 140 degrees, are not interested in seeing the stage, don’t care about getting a drink and like to be hosed down like cattle! I’ll never go back.
There are more comments at yelp that go along the same lines.
Oh - and POS is playing there at the end of March. That might look a little like this:
Peter B. Kyne’s The Go-Getter has the subtitle The Classic Story That Tells You How to Be One. The hardcover version has less than 100 pages, is fairly straightforward and can be read in a single sitting, say during a plane flight.
Highly motivational, the story harbors valuable success lessons. The full text is available at project Guttenberg.
By way of storytelling it is shown, how an individual with strong convictions and a Go-Getter attitude manages to solve situations that are deliberately constrained by outside forces. The afterword of the book provides a brief analysis of the story to show lessons and describe what it takes - according to the author - to be a Go-Getter.
Short, sweet, lots of good advice.
We stayed at the Quality Inn in Port Angeles, Washington. Free room upgrades from regular to apartment-style suite, as well as AAA discount. Fresh cookies in the evening. Overall, a decent place.
The town itself gave the impression of pretty much closing down after five. The location is great though, in the Olympic Peninsula, close to Hurricane Ridge and just a ferry ride away from Victoria, BC, Canada.
Orscon Scott Card. Classic, fantastically, entertaining science fiction page turner. Childhood angst. The potential end of the world. Destruction of an aliean race. Politics. The power of focus. Battle games. Psychology. Bullies. Friendship.
Again: Power of focus and dedication to a single purpose. That was the part that impressed me most of the story. Turning a child (Ender) into a millitary leader, by removing any and all distractions and having him concentrate on only his ultimate goal and nothing else.
Studies and practice.
Notably: Not necessarily happiness (most characters in the book are likely not happy at all during most of the story), but definitely dedication to a goal. The story is not a happy one, albeit a (mostly) happy ending.
Definitely a good read. Though maybe not really a friend of sequels, I am curious if the followups are at least comparably entertaining…
