The Merriam-Webster definition of extravaganza:

1:  a literary or musical work marked by extreme freedom of style and structure and usually by elements of burlesque or parody
2:  a lavish or spectacular show or event
3:  something extravagant

rocking_birthdayMaybe extravaganza is not a completely appropriate name in this case ( I don’t think there will be any burlesque), but I would be honored if you would help mourn the passing of my 30s at the Bazaar Café October 23rd at 7 PM:

Saturday, October 23rd from 7 – 9:30 PM
Bazaar Café
http://www.bazaarcafe.com/
5927 California Street, between 21st & 22nd Avenues
San Francisco, CA 94121

No gifts, just come and enjoy some good music, food and friends.

See you soon!

Front CoverEvery December I think to myself “this is the year I’m going to write that Christmas song that becomes a perennial holiday hit and then I can live off the royalties for the rest of my life just like the guy in About a Boy.”  But I don’t think this December is the one.  Check back with me next year.
