Send ideas to calendar@montereycountynow.com HOT PICKS are able to do that at Palenke Arts Teen Center with local artist Paul Richmond, who shares a collection of art pieces he has created over the years. He’ll present his book, Star Gazing, a “visual autobiography” in which he shares a curated collection of his work. It includes images going back to when he was a child, and he shares the story and emotions behind each piece. “I really just wanted to document all of that, but also share a bit about my journey and growing up in a small, conservative town in the Midwest as a queer person,” Richmond says.

No Más We don’t want this to keep anyone from going to Beatles vs. Stones (because it’s absolutely a fun time), but we already know the winner. So why even do a write up when it’s clear Mick, Keith and the boys would thrash the Fab Four? Don’t even try to argue it. Teen pop loses to “Satisfaction” or “Paint It Black.” At their best, could the lads from Liverpool top “Sympathy for the Devil” or “Monkey Man”? There is the matter of judgment. One critic, for example, pondered why a band capable of “A Day in the Life” would stoop to “When I’m Sixty-Four” on the same album. Besides, since Keith is indestructible, the Stones may play on forever. That’s settled. Indisputable logic. And yet the showdown between standout tribute bands Abbey Road and Satisfaction is a romp, it’s engaging, nostalgic, memorable—just a fantastic time, one that will leave both fans of the winners and of the Beatles with huge smiles. [DF] 8pm Saturday, Oct. 19. Golden State Theatre, 417 Alvarado St., Monterey. $34.93-$98.79. 649-1070, goldenstatetheatre.com. Celebrating Winehouse Amy Winehouse was a British singer-songwriter who captivated listeners with a mix of jazz, R&B, soul, pop and reggae. Her life was short, but the impact of her musical repertoire continues to impact listeners with its emotional depth, and her repertoire still sounds current today. Besides her music and signature raspy voice, Winehouse is remembered by her looks—a dark poofy hairdo and heavy eyeliner. For those who feel nostalgic, Valerie—a Santa Cruz-based tribute band to Winehouse—is your ticket to connect you back to her music and her vibe. [CJ] 9pm Saturday, Oct. 19.

One local family was feeling all alone, until they organized an epilepsy awareness walk two years ago and found others facing the same challenges. The walk was the starting point for a new nonprofit organization, Young Adults With Epilepsy, which provides peer support groups and education. This year YAE is hosting a three-day event devoted to epilepsy awareness and fundraising. It begins Saturday, Oct. 19 with the Epilepsy & Mental Health Panel, featuring experts, the award-winning short film Under the Lights by Miles Levin and a panel of young adults living with epilepsy sharing their experiences. On Sunday the community comes together for a two-mile fundraising walk, co-sponsored with the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California, that ends with live music and refreshments, plus resource and support tables. Finally, Monday features the inaugural Otter Cup: Tee Off for Epilepsy, a golf tournament and cocktail reception. Register online for each event individually. [PM] Panel: Noon-2:30pm Saturday, Oct. 19 at YMCA of the Monterey Peninsula, 600 Camino El Estero, Monterey, and online, free; Walk: 10am Sunday, Oct. 20 at YMCA of the Monterey Peninsula, free; Golf tournament and cocktail hour: 9am-6pm Monday, Oct. 21 at The Club at Pasadera, 100 Pasadera Drive, Monterey, $300/golf tournament, $75/ reception guests. contact@yawecc.org, youngadultswithepilepsy.org. Tuesday, Oct. 22 Exploring EndINGS As the climate changes, species across the globe are impacted in myriad ways. Many have already been driven to extinction, and others are on that trajectory. This event features Patty Chang, an artist at the University of Southern California, who talks about her collaboration with Astrida Neimanis, an environmental humanities scholar, and Aleksija Neimanis, a wildlife pathologist, in their exploration of “endings”—what can we learn when artists team up with scientists to explore questions like, why did this whale strand itself on a beach? Climate change is creating countless impacts on our natural world at an increasingly rapid pace, and it’s hard to fully wrap one’s head around. This seminar aims to give us new tools to answer the question of, “How might we reconfigure the role of both science and art as part of the complicated ecologies of mutual care in and for the oceans, and for the beings that call it home?” A heady topic, indeed. [DS] 7-8:15pm Tuesday, Oct. 22. Hopkins Marine Station, Izzie Abbott Boatworks Lecture Hall, 120 Ocean View Blvd., Pacific Grove.

Wednesday, Oct. 23 Women of Carmel Carmel-by-the-Sea of today continues to enjoy the reputation of its bohemian history, some fact and some mythology. One fact of that bohemian past was women, who both faced horrific sexism in town, but who also helped shape the creative culture of Carmel. One was Jane Gallatin Powers, a Europeantrained artist and wife of Carmel Development Company co-founder Frank Powers. She was not only a painter but an advocate for the arts and a co-founder of the Carmel Arts and Crafts Club in 1905. Gallatin Powers helped launch the idea of Carmel as an artist community to the world stage. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that her great-great-granddaughter Erin Lee Gafill is an artist today. Gafill speaks about her new biography of this matriarch of Carmel, and of her own family. [SR] 7pm Wednesday, Oct. 23. Carpenter Hall at Sunset Center, 9th Avenue and San Carlos Street, Carmel (also on livestream). Free. 624-2811, carmelpubliclibraryfoundation.org.
