So HOW ABOUT THEM GIANTS?! Wowza!
I’ve seen more baseball in the past 2 weeks than I’ve seen in my entire
life! Guess we can call that Giant Fever. We watched Games #1, #5, and #7
with Friends – all winners for The
Giants and MadBum. What do you do after a performance like
that? Has he peaked at 25? Just sayin’ … Hope he can stay humble. GO GIANTS!
How the
week went:
Inn Marin last Thursday. Collected on the comp night prize I won at
last year’s Halloween DJ Dance at Rickey’s. Great location, quaint, cozy, clean,
eco-friendly, super-comfy bed, generous continental breakfast, great Keurig
coffee in room & lobby. The luck of
the draw: a neighbor who talked & coughed all night long. Turns out the walls are thick, but ceiling is
not, and somehow neighbors’ noise came through.
The Innkeepers are great folks – they will make it up to me at some
point in the future. I shall return
(with earplugs, just in case)!
Thanks to Doc Kraft &
Band for last Friday’s fun at Presidio
Yacht Club – always know there will be friends for a Doc party.
And on Saturday night Carlos & I were in for some
bewitching entertainment at an over-the-top Halloween party at A & K’s
haunted manse. Apparently the guests
out-do each other each year, preparing frightful and silly costumes for the
occasion.
After that we headed to Finnegan’s
for The Dead League, including Peter Harris. Music now back on the schedule there every
Saturday night.
On Tuesday evening a Mother-Daughter Night at the Marin Symphony, Beethoven concert. Nothing quite like hearing a full Symphony
performing Beethoven’s Symphony #5 –
emotional and dazzling! Pianist Navah Perlman also a hit, though Concerto
#3 not my personal favorite. And
afterwards, the usual suspects at the
Wrap Party at Gaspari’s – love this
neighborhood tavern.
What’s comin’ up?
Halloween!! Carlos & I will head to Hopmonk for PRIDE & JOY! It WILL
sell out, so if you want to be there, best get your tix in advance. There are so many awesome parties that night,
check out the listings.
Saturday? Sunday? We shall
see what lies ahead.
Meanwhile, friend, musician, creative genius Greg Johnson, along with Glass Brick Boulevard (Paul Hanson, Rob
Fordyce, Celso Alberti) and Carlos
Reyes have an Indiegogo thing happening, to fund production of a CD from
their Epic Performance of February 22, 2014 at the Fenix. Carlos & I were there, and it was
indeed joy-filled and extraordinary! Go
