Happy night at
Hopmonk, with Pop Fiction, Carlos & Trish!
Lovely surprise to see you, Trish!
Wrapped up another fun weekend, and a heap of thanks for Pop
Fiction at Hopmonk on Friday, then Rudy Colombini and the
Unauthorized Rolling Stones at Sweetwater on Saturday! Great to cheer on new personnel Kevin
Russell and Cole Tate, with Rudy, Kenny Crampton, Eddie Berman and
Mike Davis holding down the fort and making for some explosive fun.
Hope you had a Happy Mothers’ Day!
I’m afraid I’ll be missing the Big Band Dance
tonight in Corte Madera – as I’ve developed another case of HIVES! This time I have no idea what caused it – no
new lotion at least. I think that
episode in March over-sensitized me, and now my auto-immune response to
allergens is overblown. So is it the
pollen? the kitty? the shellfish? or my
neighbor’s toxic stinky dryer sheets?? Face
swollen again, and I’m in no hurry to get to the doctor when they’ll again put
me on prenisone. Trying power of
positive thinking (without too much luck so far—but I’ll keep hoping).
I know I’ll be better by Friday: Hoping to travel north to Twin Oaks in
Penngrove to get it on with our friends The Mighty Groove. There’s also Doc Kraft at Presidio
Yacht Club; Kevin Russell at Fenix; and rock group Factor
11 at Trek Winery; and the triple-header in Fairfax, fundraiser for Deb
Hubsmith (who’s battling Acute Myeloid Leukemia) at 19 Broadway,
Peri’s, and Sleeping Lady.
.
Saturday: REVOLVER at
Fenix; Danny Click & The Hell Yeahs at 142 Throckmorton; Zydeco
Flames at Eagles in Alameda; Chime Travelers at TREK
Winery; Afrofunk Experience at
Hopmonk – and of course all the other music I’ve listed in the
calendar below!
Sunday? I don’t know yet … Remember, there’s free music
now in the Hopmonk Beer Garden on Friday evenings, Saturday afternoons,
and Sunday afternoons. (I’ve listed
below.) Always a musical treat available—how
lucky are we!
