Sept. Swanking - Pink Martini @ The Hollywood Bowl (or some such thing)
 

Hey kids --

Morrigoon and I were looking over the Hollywood Bowl schedule for the summer and were picking some events to go to, and thought that an evening at the Bowl would be a terribly swanky thing to do. General tickets for everything but the Playboy Jazz Festival go on sale May 6.... Jazz Tickets are already on sale.

OK so here are the things that seem swanky (for descriptions check out the calendar section of www.hollywoodbowl.com :

1) Playboy Jazz Festival (Saturday June 16 and Sunday June 17). Our favorite Jello man, Bill Cosby, is MC'ing. This is not part of the normal summer bowl season, but a special event, The lower priced tickets that are left range from 17.50/ticket to 37.50/ticket.

2) Cool Brittania w/ Jamie Cullum (Friday, July 20, Saturday, July 21). James Bond, Noel Coward and Austin Powers. Yeah that sounds Swank all right.

3) Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (Friday August 24/Saturday August 25).

4) Pink Martini (with Fireworks): (Friday, September 14 through Sunday, September 16).

There's other stuff I'd like to see too, of course, but the above seems to fit the "theme" nicely ;)

We're out of the state (or country) for the entire month of June, but I'd LOVE to hit the Pink Martini concert with some swankers...

Blech, I took too long in adding a poll, and now it won't let me add a poll. Could a moderator please add a 5-option poll to this thread, one with each option in my original post, and the fifth opetion being "Other"? :)

Hmm, I'm not awesome enough to add polls to other people's posts.

/sniff

Pink Martini is great in an outdoor venue! They've been part of the zoo's concert series the last two summers and are always great fun! Fireworks would be great, too. Of course, we can't do that at the zoo.

Vote away!

You can vote for more than one option.

Since I'd assumed the Bowl was already sold-out for the season (but I guess I'm wrong), I set the poll to close in 2 weeks. We can make that window shorter if you like, Chenabog.




ETA: Based on ozron's recommendation, the cool name and implied potables we'd make portable, the pyro, and the likely availability of better seats the further out the dates ... I voted for Pink Martini.

Pink Martini is AWSOME live. We saw them a few years ago at some smallish club. They also have a new album either out of out soon.

For us unwashed heathens, what is are the Martini de Pink?

They play music as though it was created just for LoT.

They are a swanky Portland band that you'd love, Kevy.
