WHEW! Just kissed my darlin’ daughter Laura Mae good-bye at the
Airporter, bound for SFO and JFK! Her first vacation as “an adult”, and first time on an
aircraft for about a dozen years! BON VOYAGE, LAURA MAE! Adventures and culture, fashions and friendships await … Of course, I get to caretake my grandpup Valentino (aka Tino) until
she returns next week.
Happy to be at Northgate for Caravansarei last Friday, with Carlos and all of you! Afterwards a little get-together nearby, then
Carlos & I did get up to Hopmonk –
but missed Junk Parlor, who went on
earlier. But we DID get to dance along
to This Old Earthquake—a group from
Bolinas, with plenty of shakin’; I’d hear them again.
Saturday Carlos & I did something different –
went to the Marin Shakespeare
production of As You Like It. Plenty to like, the evening was balmy, the
jokes were fast, actors fun to watch. My
favorite part: the 5 “goats”!
Sunday we were at Magnolia Terrace again for The
Boys of Summer (Eagles tribute). If you’ve been you
know what a beautiful venue this is, and a good crowd was there to enjoy. We expended enough energy that it was
impossible to make the drive out to Rancho
to take in Danny Click and the Hell
Yeahs, including Lynn Asher –
but I hear it was an awesome show – Hell Yeah!
Afterwards, fun with Larry & Sue—thanks you two!
Coming up?
Thinking about Marinwood Park
on Friday evening for the Cosmo
Alleycats for some swing and soul.
After that looks like our best bet is The 7th Sons (and a Daughter!) at Presidio Yacht Club for some rockin' & rollin'. perhaps -(REVOLVER NOT AT PYC, incorrect info on PYC website.) There’s also Volker Strifler at Fenix, Zydeco Flames at Eagles, and more.
Saturday DEFINITELY going to Fenix for JAMES MOSELEY DANCE BAND!!
Lots of other choice choices too – scroll down.
