Santa Barbara Film Festival Opening Night

Santa Barbara has a long history of being a key player in the motion picture and film industry. With a star studded population, Santa Barbara is known for being a quaint place to relax that is a hop, skip, & jump away from Hollywood & Los Angeles. Commonly referred to as the American Rivera, Santa Barbara is host to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival which has established itself as the preeminent Oscar film festival and is two week event that our town anxiously awaits ever year. 

It was truly an honor to attend my first opening & red carpet event of the SBFF at the historical Arlington Theatre, graciously invited by my dear friend & Santa Barbara photographer Rachel Moyer. We started off the evening with a quick cocktail at The Marquee and then walked over to the Arlington to watch Diane Keaton & Kevin Kline grace the awaiting crowd of fans for the opening of festival and new film, A Darling Companion. 

The Arilgton Theatre is one of the most beautiful places in Santa Barbara. 

Show lights lit up the night sky all across town.

Diane Keaton... the VIP of the evening.

Rachel and I found this beautiful couch inside (which I may add is one of many pieces that give The Arligton its flare) and had to take pictures. Rachel is wearing Erin by Erin Fetherston. 

I am wearing Versace for H & M

Sold out show.

At the Gala, there were two DJ's, a live band, and an open bar for the entire party (like 10), along with horderves from some of the best restaurants in town (there is too many to count!)

Photo booth fun :)

A photo I snagged off the SBFF website from the opening night Gala event at Paseo Nuevo. 

All in all, the evening was one to remember and I felt so honored to attend! The Film Festival is a truly amazing event and filled with culture and creativity... all things Santa Barbara!

Santa Barbara Events

Two Santa Barbara events you do not want to miss!

It is finally done. Stacy Peralta's latest film... The Bones Brigade: An Autobiography.

As a Santa Barbara native, I was always surrounded by skateboarding and surfing. There is just something about this town that breads this creatively infused lifestyle. As many of you may or may not know, Powell-Peralta is a local Santa Barbara company that has deep routs in the skateboard industry. When I say deep, I mean DEEP. The Bones Brigade docmentary is "an emotional, intimate, and exciting film about a group of dorky American boys who turned skateboarding from a fringe pastime to a thrilling action sport and a multi-million dollar industry." It currently is at Sundance in Utah and then the second showing in its history will be at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. If you thinking about watching this flick, I strongly suggest you get there early. Red Carpet event starts at 7 PM Thursday February 2, 2012 at The Arlingon Theatre. Tommy Guerro, Steve Caballero, Rodney Mullen, Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, Stacy Peralta and George Powell have all confirmed their attendance and a Q & A will be held after the show. Tony Hawk will unfortunately be out of the country and will not be able to attend. Hope to see you there!

And just as exciting is this years 2012 Quicksilver Rincon Classic presented by Channel Islands Surfboards! I love this event because it always brings together Santa Barbara's amazing surfing community and talent for a fun weekend at my favorite beach. The event was scheduled for this weekend, but due to rain it will be postponed so please check out the Surf Happens facebook page for more info or the site. 

Hope to see you there!

Mission Canyon Oak Trees:: The October Union Part 4

Hello friends. Hope 2012 has been finding you well. Excuse my lack of posts lately... I have had bloggers block and I am working on a new direction for Mischief for 2012. I would love to hear your thoughts and what you like the most about Mischief... please email me. I would greatly appreciate it.

This is the last installment of my photoshoot with The October Union and I hope to work with Kimmy more on her projects in the future. Again, big thanks to my trusted photographer Rachel Moyer for capturing such amazing flicks.

Mark Zuckerberg enlists David Choe to paint FB HQ

One of my favorite artists in scene the past couple of years has got to be Mr David Choe. The guy is so creative, funny, and talented it is overwhelming for me at times (did you see his movie Dirty Hands?). Apparently this is Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's second time requesting Choe's assistance and creative talents in sprucing up the new office with some inspiring art. Check out the entire story on Upper Playgroud.

Kitty Cat gets an interview on Heckler.com!

My girlfriend Kiira interviewed me for this site called Heckler.com. Please take a moment to read my interview:)

Here is a little teaser that Kiira wrote:

If a hot blonde is all your looking for try Playboy Magazine. But if ya wanna meet a beauty with some serious talent, I’ve found the girl for you. Caterina Caliguiuri, a Santa Barbara CA loc, has creatively found ways to join together the world of Fashion, Art and Extreme Sports. Between working at Powell Skateboards, writing on her famous blog (Kitty Cats Mischief) and creating one of a kind pin-up art pieces, there’s not much this girl doesn’t do. I called Cat to ask her some questions about her journey into fashion and art as well as breaking into a career in the skate industry.
