Announcements:

Lisa: Douglas Berry (BASFAn, FLARE, Burner) passed away this past weekend. Donations in Douglas’s memory can be made to the Giants Community Fund mlb.com/giants/community/fund All Within My Hands allwithinmyhands.org and Mission 22 mission22.com

There’s an eclipse coming up next weekend. Will be partial here, but will be more total in Oregon. It’s an annular eclipse, so very ring of fire…

Reviews

Ken: Saw the last show of Ric Iverson Is Alive And Well And Living In Milpitas at the 3 Below. Autobiographical one-man show. Funny and touching. As an added bonus, in the audience – for the first time in this show’s history – Ric’s mother was in attendance. If it ever comes around again, I’d recommend it.

Gayle: This past weekend she and Gerald went to SF Opera’s production of Verdi’s Il Trovatore. Wonderful soprano, wonderful music. Sadly, last show – so you can’t go. Their next show will be The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs. sfopera.com
Gerald says they hammered it. A striking success. (virtual pun levied)

Rumor of the Week: The world has a little less FLARE now.
