Sing-A-Long Sound of Music @ The Castro - Thurs 12/1

I went to the Sing-A-Long Sound of Music at the Castro Theatre a few years back and it was fabulous.  It's going on 11/25 through 12/4, but I think the best time for me will be on Thursday 12/1.  The show is at 7pm.  Anyone interested?

Indy Spirits Expo - Wednesday 11/16

Just saw a coupon for the Indy Spirits Expo on Wednesday night from 7-9:30.  It looks like a fun excuse to taste all different kinds of booze ;-)  The tix are $35 and it's being held at Mighty, a nightclub on Utah and 15th.  Let me know if you're interested in going.

Carmen @ SF Opera - Tues 11/29 or Sun 12/4

I've been wanting to see Carmen, and now that they're selling tickets for half off I really want to go.  Anyone interested in going for the cheap seats ($31) on Tuesday 11/29 or Sunday 12/4 (both at 7:30)?  I'm sure these will sell out fast!!!

Miranda July @ JCCSF - Saturday, Feb 25th

The fabulous Miranda July is performing at the JCC in February.  I know it's a long way from now, but I'm sure it will sell out.  Let me know if you'd like to go and I'll get tickets.

Howdy friends, the schedule for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is up, so now it's time to decide where to camp out. Here are lots of great options, it's hard to pick. I'm leaning towards Rooster on Friday, and Rooster or Towers of Gold on Saturday and Sunday, but I'm open to suggestions. Let me know if you have any preferences. 

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass - 9/30 - 10/2

It's time again for my favorite event of the year!  Usually I skip the Friday show since it's only a half day, but this year it's a full day and the line up looks great so I'm going to see if I can get the day off.  For sure I'll be going on Saturday and Sunday though, and I'll be there early to get a great spot.  They haven't announce the stages yet, so I'll wait to decide where to camp out until then.  Let me know if you're going though so I can keep you in the loop about where I'll be and how to find me!  And definitely let me know if you're interested in going early and joining me for "breakfast" at HSB.

Take a look to see the line-up by day:  http://www.strictlybluegrass.com/

Off the Grid @ Golden Gate Fileds - Sat, 9/17

I had such a great time at this on th 27th, and there were a few folks who expressed interest and couldn't go then, that I'm going again on on Saturday the 17th.  Let me know if you'd like to join me for the horseraces and food trucks!

Problem with replying to messages

Hi all,

I've just recently heard from someone subscribed to my blog that whenever they tried to reply to my messages that they get a bounce back message from Google Groups that the group doesn't accept emails to owners or managers. I don't know what's gone wrong, and I'm so sorry if any of you have been responding to my messages but not ever hearing back from me.

I've tried making some changes to see if it will fix the problem. If you want, please reply to this message and see what happens .

xoxo...Susan

Off the Grid @ Golden Gate Fields - Saturday 8/27

Two of my favorite things, food trucks and horse racing, are coming together next Saturday at Golden Gate Fields. It's also going on for the following three Saturdays ( 9/3, 9/10, and 9/17) so I'm open to go another Satuday as well or instead. Let me know if you want to join me!

SF Street Food Fest - Saturday, 8/20

Okay, so I checked out the SF Street Food Festival the first year and it was too crowded so I gave up. But I thought I should try it out again. Anyone interested in giving it a go with me?

SF Opera @ Stern Grove - Sunday 8/21

It's the last show of the summar at Stern Grove this Sunday and the San Francisco Opera is performing (arias and solos). I'll be going early with Julie to get a good spot, so let me know if you're coming and I'll save some space for you. Show starts at 2, but if it's a popular show they stop letting people in before then, sometimes as early as noon.

SF Ballet @ Stern Grove - Sunday, 7/31

This Sunday the San Francisco Ballet is performing at Stern Grove. I'm hoping for another lovely day there. Who wants to join me?

When Harry Met Sally @ Union Square - Sat, 7/16

It's another Film Night in the Park this Saturday, this time they're showing When Harry Met Sally at Union Square Park. As usual it's free... just bring wine, snacks, and bundle up! Who wants to join me?

Bay to Breakers - Sunday, May 15th

It's getting time to start preparing for Bay to Breakers! Our concept this year is High School Undead (I'll be a Marching Band Geek vampire or zombie... the picture above is me as a Vampirate last year, I sense a theme!).

Some of you may have heard me talk about Marching Band vs. Cheerleaders, but Kiley and Lindsay suggested this change and I thought it sounded great. This idea may also maybe more practical as I haven't seen a lot in the way of Marching Band costumes out there (although I'd love some fellow band geeks if you find one). Kiley did find great, inexpensive cheerleading uniforms at this site. She and Lindsay are going to be cheerleaders, probably with Sunnydale High colors...for you Buffy geeks out there ;-)

So, the next big question this year is whether or not to register. The word is that they're going to enforce registrations this year, but they say that every year and it never seems to happen. I went ahead and registered anyhow as it makes sense to me to contribute since I'll be participating and it definitely costs a lot to put this event on (even just the porta potties must cost a fortune!). Anyhow, I leave it to you, but here the link to register.
