concert, dinner and dancing

We haven't done any dancing...

But on Wednesday, the big day of the final Kerry-Bush debate, Jay Beeler sent out an emergency email, asking if a Beachcomber staff member would volunteer to go to the Carpenter Center and enjoy a really top notch jazz concert in the Cabaret room. Being the faithful freelance writer I am, we agreed.

Tickets were for the table immediately adjacent to the stage and let the show begin. Food in the form of a airline style rubber chicken (marsala) dinner were provided with cheap champagne in plastic glasses sold at champagne prices ($5 per) by Spaggatini, a forgettable Seal Beach in-crowd KTWV restaurant.

At least the jazz, sax player Eric Marienthal & Vesta Williams on comedic commentary and vocals (Use Me, Make It With You & Until You Come Back To Me) into two one hour sets. Very nice stuff indeed.

Saw Jerry & Flora Loeb there, from the old KLON days. He's changed, shaved head, goatee, still nice people, very friendly, yet distant, capiche?

Friday night, my first night as a restaurant reviewer, went to La Posada at Carson & Lakewood with Paul & Judy, almost like work, but they like it !!!

Food was good if not great. Will have to write the damned review now. Radio show today, Robbie's tonight, Record Show Sunday. Oh what a week it was.
