Message
Hey All,
If you missed the last one, here is your chance for one more big bash
at this historic landmark. We have a huge empty house, so don't worry
about the predicted rain. IT'S ON RAIN OR SHINE!
Host: Casa del Mar
Location: Casa del MarCasa del Mar
23905 East Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz, CA
When: Saturday, April 14, 2:00pm
Phone: 831.239.7739
We are having a weekend party to bid farewell to Casa del Mar. Come
join us for fun, music, dancing, and BBQ. Camp-out in the grassy back
field and sleep to the sounds of rolling DJs then wake up to ocean
waves. Pancake breakfast Sunday morning.
Bring your talents to share for open mike, open decks, and grub to grill (or
whatever else inspires you!) Also, bring your wetsuits, boards,
drums, instruments, tents and sleeping bags if you want to crash for
the night.
Hope to see everyone!
Cheers!

saloon, the Pleasure Point Roadhouse, whose Prohibition-era brothel
inspired the name for this coastal area, was also a gas station and
market for HWY 1, a speakeasy during prohibition, and a home for many
artists and alternative minded people over the decades.

several 90-year-old bungalows are private property now, and owner
Leila Naslund, who has evicted all the tenants (some who have been
there over 15 years), doesn't want it to be designated for
preservation. Her family plans to develop and destroy the existing
property within the next few months under the excuse that it is too
far gone.

Point Roadhouse to a list of properties they'll consider designating
as historic resources at a meeting March 27th.

> "It seems like it means a lot to the community," says Supervisor
Jan Beautz, who recommended that the house be considered for
designation. A grassroots group has collected hundreds of signatures
on a petition in support of the designation of the roadhouse, a two-
story wood-frame structure with unique Craftsman-style influences.

> "It's probably the last undeveloped big piece of property on the
coast. It's just timeless," says Charles Paulden, leader of a group
called People for the Preservation of Pleasure Point. "It's like 100
years ago when you step onto that property."
>
> The cottages next door to the roadhouse were demolished last year
to make way for HUGE Orange County styled condos and many fear the
same will happen to the roadhouse property if it's not designated.
>
> "Pleasure Point was a beach-cottage community until the last five
years. It's not too far gone yet," Paulden says. "I would like all of
Pleasure Point to be preserved, but right now I would like to save
one little bit of it."
>
> Paulden wants to see the roadhouse restored as a museum or
community center. Please contact Charles at: yogacharles@... if you
would like to help.
>
> Although its heyday during Prohibition is long gone, the Pleasure
Point Roadhouse remains a popular local icon. "I remember going to
parties in that building back in the 70s. I've always thought it was
a very cool structure" says Carolyn Swift, director of the nearby
Capitola Museum. "For a building of that style to survive, with the
carriage house and these little additional 1920s bungalows, that's
pretty rare."
>
> The LAST Pleasure Point Roadhouse party is THIS SATURDAY, MARCH
16th at 2-3905 East Cliff Drive. It's the old house with the huge
sculpture in front, can't miss it. It's a free party and everyone is
donating their time and effort. IF you are a dj and want to spin, or
if you are a band and want to jam, please contact me at: abrintonc@...
>
> We are starting music around 1pm and going into late night. There
will be sound systems in two areas of the property, one for daytime
and one for night. Some camping is allowed in the back of the
property if you don't want to drive home, just let us know. There
will be a bbq, ceviche, and a HUGE paella made by a an infamous
Spaniard, beer, drinks, ect., ect....

spinning all types of tunes, and some eclectic live acts are
confirmed too. Everyone is invited as long as they sign the petition:
