Gather The WomenMy wife and partner, Petra B, will be one of the Swell Sister artists included in a Second Saturday art show, titled Gather The Women. This will be her first time to have a piece of art included in a public showing. Way to go, PB! Her piece is a work of fused glass and wire art, entitled “Five Women”.

As you can see from the postcard at right, the showing will be Saturday December 13th, 2008, at the Coffee Garden. This venue is located at 2904 Franklin Blvd in Sacramento, CA. Click on the postcard graphic to see a larger version. One of the pictures on the card is a glass bowl that Petra created a while back (see top row, fourth from right).

The reception for this event will start at 6:00 PM but you can drop by any time that evening to see the art. Food and coffee are available and there will be music by the Jahari Sai Trio. Bring your friends and come by the Coffee Garden on December 13th to see Petra‘s latest and greatest work of art “Five Women”. And check out the rest of the Sisters’ art too, of course!!

Wednesday 8/27

We flew into Seattle. Actually the plane did, but we were on it. There was me and Petra, friends Larry and Robin, and Mama O (who would meet up with the rest of her posse later). We took a crowded bus to the Camlin hotel. It let us off right across the street which was very convenient. We checked in and took a quick look at the nice rooms. But of course we were all hungry so we walked a block over to Cyber Dogs Internet Cafe and Vegetarian Oasis, a great vegetarian hot dog place. The dogs are meatless but good and the toppings more than make up for that. I’ve tried a couple different ones over the last few trips and all were great. The menu is here, check out the specialty dogs. After food, what else is important? You guessed it. We took a quick and easy bus ride to the state-run liquor store. Yar!!

Open Mic Night – Brave Or Crazy?

August 8, 2008
CoffeeMusicMy Life

Thursday night is “Open Mic” night at the Coffee Garden in the Curtis Park area. I was there to see some entertainment last night and saw about 7 or 8 (or was it 9) local people doing their musical thing. There was a guy with a guitar singing folk songs, a woman singing John Lennon and John Mayer, two guys on guitar and conga drum who traded lead roles, a guy playing the harmonica, another young girl singing a couple original songs about someone stealing her boyfriend, an older guy doing a nice version of Elton John’s “Your Song”, and maybe one or two others.

They have this event every Thursday night, so go check it out. It was pretty entertaining. And it’s a really nice coffee place too. Free wi-fi, large indoor seating area, and large comfortable garden area in back, see you there…
