Her sculptural transformations acknowledge the small tokens that we leave behind, unintentional markers of our humanity and a reminder of our inherent human nature to collect.”

We welcome all members of the public to join us at the Solano County Fairgrounds in Vallejo, CA on June 27th and 28th.

Learn how antennas work, how we use the atmosphere to reflect radio signals and use the earth itself to make them go even further. You might even get to talk directly to a satellite!
Amateur radio has been part of the American story since the earliest days of wireless communication,” said ARRL President Rick Roderick, KUR. “For more than a century, the Amateur Radio Service has advanced the nation’s communications capabilities by fostering technical innova-tion, developing a pool of trained and skilled operators, strengthening emergency and public service communications, and promoting international goodwill.

The Tony Award-Winning San Francisco Mime Troupe
Opens their 67th Season with: WRECKAGE: A Musical Tragicomedy
July 3 – Sept. 7, 2026
Written by Michael Gene Sullivan – Music and Lyrics by Daniel Savio
Directed by Lisa Hori-Garcia – Music Direction by Daniel Savio and Will Durkee
WRECKAGE: A Musical Tragicomedy asks the political question: How are we going to survive and rebuild in the rubble left from the economic, social, and psychological devastation of the idiotic kleptocrats?
Short Synopsis:
Is it just us, or does it feel like everything is falling apart?
Hallucinating robots, economic collapse, protesting frogs, people praying for the End of the World –
This is not the future, or the democracy, we were promised!
But the real question is: When it’s all over will there be enough left to build something new out of this… wreckage?
