I just got into CSULB and I wanna know how the culture is. Are there good bands there?
Answer
Long Beach has a good punk scene and somewhat of a good ska scene. Sublime is from Long Beach. There are several clubs that have punk bands that play and bars that play recorded punk music or they have it on their jukebox. If you like rockabilly it's a good place for that too. Pretty much all of those places are 21+ though. Alex's is the premier punk venue here. Fern's a popular punk dive bar. Babe's Warehouse, DiPiazza and House of Hyden are some other places.
This past weekend was the all ages Punk Rock picnic in Irvine, which isn't too far from LBC. $15 for over 20 bands.
The Pike Restaurant & Bar is owned by one of the former drummers for Social Distortion. It's on 4th Street aka Retro Row where you can find cool and interesting shops. There's even a punk rock clothing store for babies and children on 4th. Electric Chair in Huntington Beach is a good place to go for adult sized clothing.
Salon Pop & Barber Shop is a good place to get a haircut by very tatted up workers with hair color that doesn't occur in nature.
The roller derby in Long Beach is fun and all ages. The roller derby in Los Angeles is a lot better since its banked track and they have some good bands that play.
Fingerprints Music in the East Village Arts District is a good place to buy music and they even have free shows occasionally.

why are so many Lebanese white?
Esam K
I know many Lebanese who are white and even have light colored hair. light brown, red, and even blonde! actually lebanese i know look like that. Why?
Answer
People make so many stereotypes about what Lebanese people look like! Most people in the U.S. think they are dark skinned and have big noses. So, people are surprised when I tell them I'm mostly Lebanese. Most just assume I'm some form of Western European. They don't believe me (most Lebanese people don't think I'm Lebanese, either), and I have brown eyes and blondish brown hair. It pisses me off. My grandfather had red hair and blue eyes..full Lebanese. I have many first cousins in Lebanon with natural blond hair and many have blue or green eyes. But I do have very light skin and soft features. I guess I'm tired of the whole stereotyping. Like how many people ask "Are Lebanese White" or are "Lebanese Arab?" I've always been considered "white" but that just may be because I blend in very well. The fact is, Lebanon is a mix of east and west. There have been Europeans in that area, like during the crusades (although that probably didn't make too much of an impact..but there are crusader castles in the villages where my family lived), and of course more recently arabs. There are mountains in Lebanon, no deserts, so it is geographically different than the surrounding arab countries. So, that's why people look so varied in the country. I've been there, though and most people were lighter and looked nothing like the stereotype I was even lead to believe. I've noticed, a lot of the darker "Lebanese" aren't actually ethnically Lebanese but are ethnically from another arab country and were just born in Lebanon. There has been more recently an increased Syrian and Palastinian influx, and they tend to have darker complexions (not all).
Are you Lebanese?
