As a resident of San Diego, CA, I have to pipe in here... The curse of our fair city is that it is viewed by outsiders as being a sleepy little Navy town in the shadow of Los Angeles. This despite having hosted two Super Bowls, the Republican Convention, the annual Comic Convention (comic books, that is, not guys/gals who stand up, mic in hand and try to make you laugh) among other things including a population well over the 2 million mark. It is still my hope that the continued growth of the wireless telecommunication industry led by Qualcomm and the high-tech industry in general plus other possibilities such as a new ballpark for our Padres baseball team, the entrance of SDSU into the PAC, etc. will eventually lead to some kind of cultural renaissance as more and more educated folks are attracted to our city. And with this improved cultural base, more quality artists such as Torn will hopefully make a trip down here and enjoy our climate, fish tacos, etc. while playing for us. I must give Torn credit, though, for attempting to bring the Polytown band down here until CMP messed up that tour. Though I was disappointed when I went to The Flash (the local venue where Polytown was scheduled to play) to buy tickets and was turned away, I was still grateful Torn and Co. at least thought of us. Well, until then, more trips to LA I guess...
