From Pasadena City Clerk Mark Jomsky: The U.S. Constitution requires a complete count of the nation’s population every 10 years. The 2020 Census’ detailed demographic information holds exceptional value for businesses whose sales depend on individual consumers. Census data tells us how many people live in a given area and describes their ages, income and education levels, living arrangements, commuting patterns and occupations. This data helps business owners decide if and where to open a store, office, hotel or restaurant, and this creates jobs. Please encourage everyone you know, from family and friends to coworkers and employees, to complete their 2020 census questionnaire next year because everyone in #PasadenaCounts! Invitations to complete the 2020 census questionnaire should arrive in March. Questionnaires only take about 10 minutes to complete, and they can be submitted online, over the phone, or by mail. If people fail to submit their questionnaire, Pasadena residents and our business community stand to lose significant federal funding for vital resources such as housing, hospitals and schools. For more information on the 2020 census, visit 2020census.gov.

A major exhibition that examines The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens and its founding through the prism of a single, tumultuous year, “Nineteen Nineteen” (on view Sept. 21, 2019—Jan. 20, 2020) brings together some 275 objects drawn from the institution’s library, art, and botanical collections. In 1919, as Henry and Arabella Huntington signed the trust document that would transform their property into a public institution, the United States roiled in the aftermath of World War I. Organized around themes defined by the verbs “Fight,” “Return,” “Map,” “Move,” and “Build,” the exhibition showcases items that embody an era in flux. Rare books, posters, letters, photographs, diaries, paintings, and ephemera will be on view, many for the first time. Highlights include representative items from 1919, such as a 37-foot map of a Pacific Electric (Red Car) route in Los Angeles, German Revolution posters, and suffragist pamphlets, alongside important works acquired by Huntington in the lead-up to that year, including the original manuscript of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, the journal of Aaron Burr, and the memoirs of Gen. William T. Sherman.

A strong brand look instantly communicates what joy/benefit/pleasure/security your customer could derive from your company/product. Every word that is used to create your company/product message must also be well thought-out, crafted, and tested to reinforce and advance your brand. I recommend a brand review to ensure you are connecting to your customer. Don't hesitate – please call me for a complimentary brand review.

The Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, California has been a favorite for comedians and stand-up aficionados for years. Now, The Ice House was recently recognized as one the Top Five Comedy Clubs in the country by researcher Dr. Peter McGraw and author, Joel Warner, writers of The Humor Code: A Global Search for What Makes Things Funny. With a star-filled roster of past and present performers, including Jimmy Fallon, George Lopez, Jay Leno, Bill Maher, George Carlin, David Letterman, Steve Martin, Bob Newhart, Lily Tomlin, Marc Maron and Dana Carvey, The Ice House Comedy Club has been singled out as one of the "best rooms" in the highly competitive comedy club industry. McGraw and Warner conducted a study from their own travels around the world exploring the science of what makes things funny. In the process, "We stumbled on an important question: What makes a good comedy club?" The researchers noted, "According to many of the comics we interviewed, a 'good room' is one that's dimly lit, densely packed, with hard chairs, low ceilings, a red curtain, and nothing at all that's blue."
Tickets: 626.577.1894 or www.icehousecomedy.com
