Next Wednesday: Photos and Music
Your Boulevardier is happy to announce two upcoming events, both happening on Wednesday, December 12, 2007.
Book & Brew. Local photo gurus Geir and Kate Jordahl -- they run HARD's PhotoCentral program -- will discuss the making of Geir's new photographic book, "Searching for True North," at The Bistro in downtown Hayward starting at 6:30 p.m. Immediately after the talk, listeners are encouraged to slip next door to The Book Shop to buy a copy of the book. Your Boulevardier has seen Searching for True North, which is a large-format exploration of 30 years of Geir's work, accompanied by poems by Norwegian poet Rolf Jacobsen, and it's a truly beautiful volume.
Strike Up The Band. The Castro Valley Community Band will play its winter concert starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Center for the Arts. It's free, family-friendly, and fun, he said alliteratively. (The concert isn't listed at the CFA website because no ticket is required.) A brass choir will start the evening, and a sing-along will finish it; in between, all manner of tunes (holiday music, show tunes, marches, and original concert band pieces) will be played.
A person could attend both of these events. Your Boulevardier wishes he could.

Why aren't you attending both of these events? I might have to check them out.
Thank you for your inquiry, Shannon. Your Boulevardier plays in the band, and so will be setting up at the Center for the Arts during the Book & Brew. You could easily attend the B&B and then catch at least half of the band concert.
You're in the band? What instrument do you play? My family and I just saw Oliver today at the Little Theater. My kids loved it.
Your Boulevardier is a member of the band's illustrious saxophone section.
Good things have been heard about the HARD production of Oliver, so thank you for that report. Also, the Castro Valley High presentation of Beauty and the Beast, which closed yesterday, was said to be excellent. Alas, Your Boulevardier was unable to attend either production.
