Channel 24 to address parking concerns near new midtown Sacramento music venue. Here's when
Representatives from Another Planet Entertainment, the Berkeley-based promoter behind Channel 24, will host the meeting from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. March 26 at E. Claire Raley Studios for the Performing Arts, 2420 N St., according to Liz Liles-Brown, the company's marketing director.
'Representatives from Another Planet Entertainment will be in attendance to answer questions from the community and provide detailed information on Channel 24's plans,' Liles-Brown said.
The company announced plans in February to open the 2,100-capacity venue at 1800 24th St., near R Street, with a slate of musical acts through the summer, including a sold-out show in July for indie rock stars Death Cab for Cutie. The center's first performance will be from country singer-songwriter Tucker Wetmore. His April 24 concert is also sold out.
Since the announcement, residents have voiced concerns about parking availability in the area, arguing that the reliance on street parking will not meet demand.
David Crow, who lives two blocks from the venue, said he was 'absolutely dismayed' by the lack of a dedicated parking solution.
'Neighbors brought this concern up two years ago, yet they still insist, 'There's plenty of street parking.' There's not,' Crow wrote in response to an earlier Bee story. 'After around 5:00, Midtown's full.'
Liles-Brown said Another Planet is 'actively securing locations' for additional parking lots and that details will be shared soon. She emphasized that ensuring parking access and safety for concertgoers remains the company's top priority.
'There's a lot of street parking currently, and there's a lot of nearby lots,' Liles-Brown said. 'We're presenting this all very soon with the city and with the Newton Booth Neighborhoods Association.'
The March 26 meeting comes as Another Planet seeks to assure residents that the new venue will benefit the community while minimizing disruptions. Channel 24's opening marks the company's first permanent music venue in Sacramento.

Pittsburgh International Airport relocating famed kinetic mobile to new terminal
A longtime art piece that has hung from the ceiling of Pittsburgh International Airport on and off for almost 70 years will soon have a new home for travelers to view. "Pittsburgh," the kinetic mobile by artist Alexander Calder, is being reinstalled this month in the new terminal's atrium to serve as both "a gently waving welcome and farewell," the airport said in a news release on Monday. "People just expect to see the Calder at the airport," said Keny Marshall, the airport's manager of arts and culture. Once installed, passengers and the public will be able to see the sculpture from eye level or above on the pre-security departure level of the new terminal. On the arrivals level, people will be able to look up at the sculpture and walk beneath it, Marshall said via the news release. First installed in 1959 over the rotunda of the then-named Greater Pittsburgh Airport terminal, the mobile was also displayed at the Carnegie Museum of Art before moving to its most recent terminal in 1992. Carol Brown, the former county parks director, was instrumental in getting the sculpture restored when it was hung incorrectly at the old terminal with its metal sections painted first yellow and green and then pink. Once it was restored, Brown advocated for the piece to be put in the then-new 1992 terminal. "I would always stop to say 'Hi, Calder,' when I went through the terminal. And I am looking forward to being able to say that again in the new terminal," said Brown. A special lift will be needed to attach the sculpture to the new terminal's ceiling, which is almost 80 feet high. Other Calder mobiles have also been featured at airports across the country. The 45-foot-long mobile titled ".125" currently hangs in the departure hall of Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. A mobile named "Brass in the Sky," once hung in Marshall Field & Company's Cloud Room restaurant at Chicago's Midway Airport. A 40-foot-wide Calder piece named 'Red, Black and Blue" made its way from Dallas Love Field to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport before being displayed at the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Michael Franti splits with management after abuse allegations, but tour continues
Michael Franti has reportedly split with his longtime management company following sexual abuse allegations made against him by younger singers and colleagues he worked with. The Bay Area-born musician had been represented by Activist Artist Management for nearly a decade, according to multiple sources who spoke to Billboard. The Chronicle reached out to the West Hollywood-based management company on Tuesday, Aug. 19, for comment. Franti has denied the accusations but admitted to a romantic relationship outside his marriage with Spanish American singer Victoria Canal, which he said was consensual. 'I'm aware of the recent posts this artist made about our relationship, and while I support her need to express herself publicly, the relationship was completely consensual, based on mutual feelings and attraction,' Franti, 59, wrote in a statement on Sunday, Aug. 17. 'I vehemently dispute any version of the story that says otherwise.' Canal, who turned 27 this month, alleged in an Instagram post last week that as a 19-year-old she was groomed and abused by a 'very powerful' older musician. She wrote that the man, whom she did not name, initially appeared 'loving, charismatic, and principled' but in private was controlling, abusive and photographed her without consent. 'This is something I've never spoken about publicly, and have been holding for eight years now — it has plagued my body, spirit, and mind,' she wrote. 'These behaviors progressed over a year, slowly keeping me more isolated in a highly unfamiliar and contained environment,' Canal alleged, adding that was still a virgin at the time. In recounting her story, she said she was not allowed to have separate accommodations and that whenever she wanted to sleep in a bed or have a shower, 'he made sure it was his.' The fallout was immediate. Several artists, including Dispatch, Maggie Rose and Liz Vice, dropped out of Franti's Soulshine at Sea cruise, prompting the event's promoter Sixthman to cancel the sold-out November voyage. While she said she was not planning to make any other statements because 'the person who groomed me doesn't deserve so much real estate on my page,' Canal followed up on Sunday, Aug. 17, by posting screenshots of others who recounted similar experiences with the same man. 'I feel a responsibility (and have been asked by some who approached me) to share on these victims' behalf,' Canal wrote. 'Let this be a shedding of light on my own discovery — that I am not the only victim of this person.' Among the alleged victims who chose to share her identity was Carla Swanson, who co-founded SoulShine yoga resort hotel in Bali with Franti in 2011. Swanson — who said 'this same person forced me to sign an NDA. Twice.' — claims that she 'did pick up on a sexual vibe from him' and noted that after Canal shared her story, 'now it all makes sense.' Swanson shared screenshots of texts alleging he also groomed her when she was 19, and claimed that he sexually harassed one of her friends during a recording session. She described her abuser as a 'master manipulator and user,' comparing him to President Donald Trump. The following day in an Instagram Story, Canal added that she's 'used to gaslighting from this person.' 'I'm the one that has to live with effects of what really happened in my body, and I am the one responsible for my own healing,' Canal wrote. 'I have no agenda for sharing my story — I simply want to let go.' 'My wife found out about it and to save my marriage, we ended the relationship,' Franti wrote. 'I broke my wedding vows, I broke my wife's trust, I broke her heart, and for that I am deeply sorry for the pain my actions have caused her… My wife and I have done an incredible amount of work for me to repair the damage that I did. I have and continue to apologize to Sara and my family for the pain that I have caused you.' He added, 'I am also apologizing to the artist for the pain you are going through. My mistake was breaking the vows of our marriage, and involving someone else in the breaking of those vows. For that I will have to atone for the rest of my life. A public conversation about a private issue is never easy for anyone involved and I am sorry you are hurting.' Despite parting ways with Activist and the cruise cancellation, Franti's Welcome to the Family Tour is continuing. The trek includes a scheduled stop at Saratoga's Mountain Winery on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
