Was the Moon Full enough for you?? It certainly was for me … so much more than amazing.
Our Marin Symphony concert
on Sunday, “Beethoven
and the Bridge”, was a phenomenal success!
This is the last program of the season, and you have one more
chance to catch it today,
Tuesday. Call the Marin Center Box
Office 415-499-6800 to purchase
tickets for tonite’s performance (6:30 pre-talk, 7:30 concert). Or just show up
and buy tickets ($29, $54, $70) – there are a few left!
I’m on a mission to do everything that must be done before I
leave for tonight’s performance (!), so suffice it to say that the just-passed Sunnbolt 1st Friday Jam was
the best ever, and Cinco de Mayo at
the Rancho with The Tickets Band was a fabulous treat!
I don’t even have an
inkling of what I’m doing, where I’ll be this weekend—but after tonight, I’ll
get on that. Look for more UPDATES to this post toward the
weekend. ♫♪
