Southside Johnny and the WIFi Inverter Blues: Thursday, May 13th!

Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric; out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry. -William Butler Yeats, writer, Nobel laureate (13 Jun 1865-1939) 




Shhhh. We just quietly announced Jill Barber in October: Lets go!! ChloHi Jill Barber Fans! We noticed this announcement last night when we attended the Claire Lynch concert. Hazel, House Manager, moved us up to Premium Seats, from Wings, so we had a fabulous view of stage. About half an hour before a given act goes on, a large screen projector cycles through the coming acts for next few months. Just urchased tickets so you owe me, my Father's Day present!

Grogg had mentioned, this past Sunday, that Claire and her band were doing a house concert at their place today, en route to the Cowichan Valley Bluegrass Festival this weekend. She has a fabulous voice and a wonderful stage presence. Her banjo/guitar player, Jim Hurst, is world renowned while the young woman on electric mandolin/fiddle will soon be there as well, given her stunning ability. The bass player was simply terrific as well so the place was hoppin'. The delighted audience brought them back for an encore after second set. Claire said, once they were on stage again, "We were coming back anyway!"

I spoke to her at the intermission and she said they were looking forward to the concert and would say hello to Lurch ad Grogg for us. Must away to help Lady Dar transplant a lavender bush before we head up to Sendero to do your gardening! Pics: Etta and Pacific Quorum Goils! Dream with Claire and Company!  

Thank you Patrick! We have reserved you a Premium table of 2 for Jill Barber on Oct 11th ! Rest assured we have assigned you the Best Possible Table at the time your reservation came through.

The Table is yours from 6pm on.If you intend on dining with us please arrive between 6 and 6:45pm, we serve 110 people in the short window before showtime. Coming early helps us finish service before the music and gives you the best possible experience!. If you are not dining with us prior to the show, we ask that you arrive no later than 7:45 to be settled at your table. We reserve the right to limit entry after the show starts. Thank you for your support, see you at the music! Hazel 

Only 2?? Who’s not going?? YOU!!! What!!!! Your Mother said that if you cannot submit your income tax you don't deserve to go to hear Jill! Tough love! Cheers, Taking No Sides Dad!

Hello, Would anyone like to volunteer for the Start line of Gran Fondo on Sunday July 14. Sift starts at 6:00am and goes until 8:00am. Your duty will be just to make sure nobody goes through your gate until the race starts!

Volunteers get T-shirts (I’ll need your T-shirt size) and a $25 GC for Lulu Lemon! Please email me if you would like to join the team (it’s fun…. If you are a morning person!) Greta Hi Greta! We met last night at The Dream. I'd like to volunteer for the July 14th 6:00 am shift. I'd like an XL T-shirt if I'm picked. Thanks and Cheers, Patrizzio! Pics: Dream with Claire and Company!
 

Great Patrick I will put you on shift and remind you before the event! We work in groups of 2. Do you have anyone you can think of to work with or should I pair you with one of my existing volunteers? If you find a friend to work with, I’ll need name and T-shit size. Pleasure to meet you and your wife last night. I’m sure we will see more of you in the future! Can I get your phone # too? Greta  

Hi again, Greta! Corinne, my wife, would like to volunteer so we can work as a team if you feel that is fine. Additionally, is it possible for us to be designated as Grandmothers For Africa, (G4A), volunteers? Corinne is with the Penticton Branch. [Corinne Durston, L T-shirt. Here is our home number.]  Apparently, G4A receives credit for each of its volunteers. Not a big deal, either way, as we'll volunteer anyway, but every little bit helps their fund-raising effort. Thanks and Cheers, Patrizzio! Thanks! I will let the organizer know. We’ll touch bases with a reminder the week before. Greta

Must away to do my shouldares as we've been working in garden for most of the day here, and at Sendero to help busy, workaholic Chloë with a bit of re-potting, etc. While there I gathered a goodly load of large stones to use in our own garden. Need them to line our gravel "stream bed", to keep lava rock from being pulled onto it when Lady Dar uses hose to water. When back, collected about the same number from a building site a few blocks away on White. Will spend some of tomorrow re-arranging but am pleased with my fabulous hauls!

Argon initiated solares on Tuesday, after Penticton Utility installed a new bi-directional meter earlier that morning. Today Argon hooked the system into our WiFi so we can keep tabs on everything over the Net. We are now living off the Sun! Hip Hip Hooray!!!
