Thanks to Ann and Greg of the Stockton Asparagus Festival for welcoming us back and taking such great care of us. It ended up a sunny event. We shared two orders of fried asparagus and tri-tip asparagus sandwiches. After a heated debate on the car ride home on the intricate facets of music, the band retired for a couple days to prepare for the Glen Park Festival.

Vanessa pointed out that her neice is a 4th generation Glen Park Resident and it was fun to watch Vanessa point out people she knew in the crowd. Special thanks to those who came out and to Dan Gustavson for taking such great care of us. At both of these shows, we were lucky enough to play a few tunes by Alex Karweit, our dear friend and talented local musician. You can check him out at alexkarweit.com. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Orinda 4th of July Parade!

On another note, close family friend Ron Stallings had a benefit concert at La Pena (tilda soon to be learned on this computer) last night. Musical friends played tunes in his honor and Whitney and his family were treated to a swelling wave of support. If you wish to make a donation to help pay for the medical expenses that Ron incurred in his last months, please call La Pena for information.

We had the pleasure of opening up the SF Women’s Film Festival at the Women’s building in the mission and it was one of the most stress-free gigs we have had. With a very enthusiastic crew of volunteers, some amazing filmmakers and a very supportive crowd, this event is a must-attend for anyone interested. We look forward to contributing in future years and we hope to see you there! For more info on this continuing event, check out sfwff.org!
