Guess what? I did NOT do a lot of dancing this past week/weekend
… oh, my! But it was fulfilling
nonetheless. We all have access to this wonderful flow of life, and we can grab
ahold of that energy and use it to our best purposes. I hope you all enjoyed the Equinox--and had a
sublime summer full of excellent experiences, that will flow into a frolicsome
fall!
More TREK WINERY news: Andy & Liz now plan to be open until 10pm
on Friday & Saturdays to accommodate the happy people coming by. Open til 7pm Sunday, and Tuesday (last
one this week as far as I know), Wednesday and Thursday. It’s a work in progress. Also, you can now order food while at Trek
from Chianti Cucina, Grazie, or
Finnegans, and it will be delivered and plated for you right there at Trek.
1026 Machin Ave. Novato. While at TREK, enjoy the wonderful paintings
of George Sumner.
This is Carlos’s Birthday
Week, and there’re plenty of celebrations in store. I see he has a lot of birthday buddies
(Paulino, Connie, Dennis R—and within a few days Trish, Eddie N, Sylvia, and
Rich A!). Makes me think there was a lot
of celebrating on all those past New Year’s Eves!
[My apologies to friends with Monday birthdays: if I don’t know you well, I get my Facebook
birthday list, which begins with Monday-- on Saturdays—already past in my posted
calendar.]
I’d like to try the Songbook Night at Sweetwater this Tuesday; and on Wednesday the Iron Springs Pub
celebration with Jonathan Korty, Pete
Sears, Barry Sless and Inkx Herman is worth the effort to get out there to
Fairfax. And there’s also Divino and
44 Bungalow for some James Moseley R&B this week--as well as his events in Alameda and SF on Sat. & Sun. that I'll get on here soon …
REVOLVER on Fri., and THE TICKETS BAND on Sat.—both at the Presidio Y.C.—are calling.
And Sunday is a super-duper day for a birthday celebration, starting at
the Mill Valley Block Party, and
continuing into the evening at 19
Broadway with Eddie Neon &
Pals, then Cathey Cotton & Elliott
for some Evil goings-on … Who knows how it all will “flow” …
I wish you all a very happy week of musical delights--again!
Please take a look at all the
listings and details that follow.
