Cinco de Mayo Party in Santa Rosa, Saturday, May 5, 2007, 6 PM - 1 AM

Join in for a little Margarita Madness and a Mexican Fiesta at my home! Please bring your favorite Mexican dish and I will have all the Margarita fixins at your disposal. Feel free to bring your favorite beverage as well!!

My home is open for those BAFsters who want to crash after the party. Just bring a sleeping bag, pillow and a mat. Even if you don't think you will be staying the night, bring one just in case...

If you are interested in nearby lodging, there is a Ramada Inn and a Holiday Inn just a couple of miles from my home. (Note: I live in the gateway to the Sonoma wine country, so make reservations for lodging early as hotels here tend fill up quickly.)

Location and other additional information is on the Evite. If you would like to receive the Evite, shoot me a note at

myrubyslippers at sbcglobal dot net

and I will get one out to you.

Ole!

Fireworks and Music at KFOG's KaBOOM in San Francisco, Saturday, May 12

KaBOOM is a huge event being held in San Francisco at Piers 30--32 at 4 PM.  This year, you must BUY TICKETS IN ADVANCE.

KFOG Kaboom is an awesome event and is well worth the $10 to see three bands and the most spectacle fireworks you will every witness!  I am planning on being in line at 3pm; gates open at 4pm. Look for the black and white checkered handkerchief on a stick with blue balloons. I will try to get the same spot we have had in years past. Please email me to let me know you are coming. I will be driving up from San Mateo; I am willing to pick up passengers on the way.

Sunset Sunday Happy Hour in San Jose, Sunday, May 20, 5 - 8 PM

Join us for Sunset Sunday in the South Bay, it is moved up because the last Sunday of the month is on Memorial Day weekend.

We will be at Rosie McCann's in the posh Santana Row in San Jose. If you have never been to Santana Row it is worth the drive from anywhere in the Bay Area. It's like you are in a European Village with old world charm and and yet the trendiest designer stores.

Newbies Mike and Denise will be on hand to greet you in case I am late. (we're doing the Bay to Breakers earlier that day!)   Look for the Mylar Happy Birthday Balloon!
