Get your 'Peanuts' at Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa

2008-09-21 00:00:00

Santa Rosa, Calif. Maybe you came here, to the edge of wine country, for some grown-up fun amid the Cabernets and Chardonnays of Napa Valley. But for dessert, you get the house that Charlie Brown built. Or rather, the museum Charles M. Schulz built. And...

The museum dedicated to the creator of Charlie Brown, Snoopy and other "Peanuts" favorites marks its fifth anniversary, kicking things off with a party that includes live music and ice cream cake, all free. Also: special guided tours, and an open house...

Flying planes and dirt bikes

Most of those amusement parks are no fun to go to alone. You kinda want to have someone around to share the laughs and excitement to make the experience worth the 40 bucks you had to plunk down to get in. "Freaky Flyers" has the same vibe. Sure, it's...

A zigzag through a comical Santa Rosa

2003-07-13 00:00:00

I had invited my cool 13-year-old cousin, Sam, to see a new museum here commemorating the late "Peanuts" creator, Charles M. Schulz. I had assumed that a place dedicated to a comic strip wasn't the kind of museum most grown-ups would want to see unless...

2013-05-14 06:37:00

In 2008, Ed DeRosa witnessed the infamy of the Preakness infield — the passed-out partiers, the chucking of full beer cans into crowds and of course, the "Running of the Urinals," where drunken infielders ran down a row of portable toilets. DeRosa,...

You take your good news where you get it and here's mine: the Preakness sent Kegasus packing. You remember Kegasus. Sleaze-ball centaur with the biker haircut and beer gut? Budweiser-swilling centerpiece of the Infield Fest ad campaign the past two...

10 Awkward Questions with ... Preakness' Kegasus

2012-05-16 08:22:00

What you see is what you get with Kegasus, the spokeshorse-man of Preakness. He's a party guy on top, a horse who also likes to party on bottom and a Henry James scholar. So, that last part we made up, but we've always wanted to learn more about the...

We've already started a petition to make Lewis the permanent Preakness spokesman/mascot. Sorry, Kegasus.

2013-05-12 16:34:00

Thousands of people, beer everywhere, live music from big-name bands, possibly even the re-appearance of Kegasus. Yep, we're talking about Preakness, and it'll be back at on May 18. Oh yeah, we hear there's a little horse race planned for that day, too. Go to preakness.com.
