If the US travel industry has an equal in 2020’s coronavirus-fueled race to the bottom, it’s live entertainment. While hotels, airliners and destinations are less than half full, at least they’re operating. During COVID-19, from March stretching into September, when was the last time you attended a comedy club, theater, concert or even a movie?

That’s where innovators like Vincenzo Giammanco, of California-based CBF Productions , come in. Not only is this the summer of social distancing, it’s the summer of the road trip and pop-up drive-in movie theater.  So why not combine the above? Voila: Concerts In Your Car!

CBF is producing Concerts In Your Car, with shows scheduled to go through December. Billed as California’s first social distancing concert series, the series launched in June 2020 at the Ventura County Fairgrounds in Ventura, CA, a road trip of about an hour from Los Angeles.

While Concerts in Your Car offers live concerts from name artists, the promoters also offer ‘movies in your cars,’ ‘tributes in your car’ (tribute bands) and even live theater.

Some of the acts are fairly big names. Comedians David Spade & Rob Schneider will appear live on Friday August 28, ($99 per car), Fitz and the Tantrums August 29, ($99 per car), Tower of Power and Los Lobos doing a day and a night show on September 6, ($99 per car for each show), and former members of Oingo Boingo doing a Halloween-themed show October 24 ($109.)

LOS ANGELES, CA – DorothyTheOrganizer (Dorothy Breininger) is helping families and people during the pandemic, one organized room, and office at a time.

When most people think of getting organized, they imagine either the show, “Hoarders” or at the very least see an organizer working directly in someone’s home or office with the client.

Last month, DorothyTheOrganizer, mastered a “crisis move” for her client, under quarantine in Mexico. Dorothy was able to come to the rescue to assist with a COVID forced to move from their home of 29 years in West Hollywood to a condo in downtown LA that he has never lived in – remotely via FaceTime!

The loose, zanily charming CHIEF ZABU, a comedy about real estate, ambition, sex and politics, starring Allen Garfield, Ed Lauter and Zack Norman, that was lost for 30 years, only to re-materialize recently for barnstorming screenings across the country featuring Norman and co-director/co-writer Neil Cohen, continues its mission to take over the world by now becoming available to rent or purchase on Amazon, iTunes, and Vudu!  Sitting on the film for this long, after the original distributor went bankrupt, has allowed Cohen and Norman to think about what worked and what did not in the original cut; they reckoned if they were going to release it in in the 21^st century, they were going to do it right.  No one said the release had to act as some sort of “confessional” of creative sins committed 30 years ago; they wanted to put the best possible film out.
