Wild Blue to be musical temple for Monks --/ «Todd»Hethr Everyone is entitled toapteceof the pie, or at least "Key Lime Pie* this Sunday night Three former members of Camper Van Beethoven, whose last album was titled "Key Lime Pie," will take the stage at the Wild Blue when their current bartd. The Monks of Doom,rPlays there this weekend. ' It win bean after-die-game bash for Cen¬ tral Michigan University fans who will be in town to see their scnoors football team play in the Claifomia Raisin Bowl against San Jose State University. The CMU fans will have a chance to see The Leonards, who will also be on the bill Saturday, made up of three members who used to attend CMU. The Leonards live in Los Angeles now, but their roots definitely delve back to the Detroit suburbs where CMU is located. Wild Hue owner Jim Bixler is excited about ' the'show, but wasn't as excited when the 'Leonards' manager proposed the idea of having bands from each area play a gig. The bands originate from the same localejs each of the teams competing in the Cal Bowl. "1 hesitated a bit initially at having the club full of athletic fans," Bixler said. "But they're not like British soccer fans, and the Leonards'manager told me they're actually well behaved. "They thought it would be a good idea to play in coordination with the game since there'll be lots of people from Michigan in town." Bixler said he always likes to get high energy bands from out of town to play his club anyway. It has an interesting flavor to it," he said. The Leonards are known for their straight ahead approach to rock music rather than trying to be the newest thing which is often the norm in Los Angeles. "1 went to the four-chord school of rod: and roll," Leonards bassplayer Tom Payne said. "Just real honest, heartfelt rock and roU." The members of the Leonards moved out to California about five years ago. "We moved out here separately, but we had loose intentions of forming a band," Payne said. The guys knew each other from CMU and from playing in different bands in the area. Payne said none of the guys had anything going on that made them want to stay in Michigan. "Los Angeles is a dty for people with no direction," Payne said. "I think we've all grown here. "LA. provides a great deal of opportunity to play hve, and ample opportunity to play for those who make decisions in this indus¬ try." * The band independantly released a seven- song album in 1988 and recently finished a four-song demo. They've been getting some good response Th* Monks of Doom fri bo playing Saturday nigh* crt t» wild Bhio, from record companies towards their mate¬ rial, Payne said. nVehavereasontobeoptimisticthisnext year," he said. "Finally after four years the companies are calling us bade'' The Leonards contributed a song to the movie "Rock 'if Roll: It Don't Come Easy," which is supposed to be distributed by Para¬ mount Pictures. He said the band got to do a video because of it, but he wasn't sure how much it would help diem. The Monks of Doom wfll bring their un- classifiable form of guitar-oriented rock down from the San Jose area. The Monks combine a variety of instru¬ ments and an unkempt attitude into a high- spirited collage of musk.

The Fresno Metropolitan Museum offers a chance to experience the best of the holi¬ days in one convenient location.

"It makes it even more special to the community because of the children's work" Lisa Tietjen, the museum's public relatiqns officer, said the museum drawing is increasing in terms of numbers and accessibility. "We are not only into the art and education kinds of emphasis,' she said. "We take art, science, education, his¬ tory and make it accessible and fun with hands on experi¬ ence because people like to partidpatc."

The decorated trees are fashionably dressed with items like teddy bears, swans, ballet slippers, paper rosea, dried fruit, cotton bunting toys, books and "origami" paper orna¬ ments. There was no limit to the extraordinary resources that were used. Past designers have incorporated such items as full-size marble statuary, mannequins and a carousel horse into their designs.

Other items that will be displayed for the enjoyment of those of all ages include gingerbread houses inspired by Hansd and Crete); life-size St. Nicholas and Santa figures adorned in historic costumes to remind visitors of Christ- mas long ago; and a model train and trolley will run through a Vicotnan village and for an extra touch of holiday flair, holiday banners will hang from the ceiling.
