We are just a few hours away from Springdom!
I trust most of you are as pleased about that as I am ...
And the effort I put into this endeavor (this thing doesn't
write itself) is rewarded by your smiles and appreciation!
Laura's 1936
Tea Dress (http://www.lauramaedesigns.com/2013/03/tea-roses.html#comment-form ) did
not win this time, but we are so grateful for your lovely comments and support!
This past week Carlos
& I were happy to dance at Trek
Winery -- first time they’ve hosted a rock band (Factor 11), I think they’ll be back. We motored to the Steakhouse at Deer Park for the Frank Bohan & Ted O’Connell (of The Treble Makers) show. We also rocked our way to George’s for Evolution,
and to Sweetwater for the Moonalice matinee! Sadly,
because as you know there are not enough hours in this time/space continuum, we
were not there for the Corte Madera Big
Band, nor The Tickets Band at
PYC, nor the Prairie Prince Show at George’s. And missed James Moseley and Zydeco Flames and Revolver and Key Lime Pie … I’ll stop now.
Where we gonna be this
week? I’ve been missing the Hopmonk Open Mic for a few weeks; and will likely head there for the Pro Jam on Thursday. Looks like Cathey Cotton & Elliott’s Evil Plan will cast their spell on us
at Peri’s on Fri. (argh, will miss Danny Click & The Hell Yeahs at Sweetwater).
Saturday night
something special: Todd at George’s is giving a half-price
discount for online sales for my followers: stay tuned for the code. That’s
for the Tribute Band show—Fleetwood Mask and Pretending—and should be quite a party! So much more going on—gotta love it! ♫♪
Here is
the special 50% online offer that Todd sent me—the show +
Reserved seating for only $10 (plus small
ticket fee)!
Ellen has supported George’s from day one so I would like to
return the favor to her audience.
This coming Saturday, March 23, we have two fabulous Tribute
Bands:
Fleetwood Mask recreates the Fleetwood Mac concert experience
with a repertoire spanning the mid-1970s, up to and including Stevie Nicks'
solo smash hits. http://www.fleetwoodmask.com/
Pretending pays tribute to The Pretenders--the English-American
rock band formed in 1978 and propelled by Chrissie Hynde. http://www.pretendingtribute.
Here is a special promotional code just for Ellen Schulz fan
base--come on out and party!
Get 50% off your ticket purchase (Reserved only--no VIP nor
General) when using the coupon code: GNC50OFF. [Copy and paste the
code--looks like there's a 0 and a letter O.] Discount is
valid online only and is valid through 5pm Saturday,
March 23, 2013.
**Here is the direct link:
