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

Snowflake, I'm doubly glad we got to chat at least a little bit when you hung back a bit after everyone "rushed off" in their big hurry to get down the hill.

Imagine my surprise then when, long after even you left, zapppop and I ventured from the Bowl ... only to find a mass of humanity still exiting down the slope. So we decided to wait it out on the steps till the crowd finally thinned ... but all the folks who rushed off 20 minutes earlier came stomping by. Hahahahaha!

Well, that allowed for several of our patented farewellagains, which is always fun. But Snowflake was the one missing in action ... ironically - likely well ahead of any of us.

I'm sorry zapppop and I got to the picnic so late, and missed spending time with all of you. We barely got to picnic, much less surrey.

The concert was waaaay better than I expected ... which I attribute mostly to the choice of saluting The Coconut Grove as the evening's theme, and then to the delightful singing and musicianship of Pink Martini. Great horn section. Loved crazy, muttering guitar player. And the chanteuse was absolutely breathtakingly awesome.

And even though I was expecting an appearance by Carol Channing, I was blown away by how much fun that was!!!

The fireworks were very pretty ... and the new "Indy" pyro effects were fantastico.

The program seemed short ... because I wanted more and more.

A great swanking!!!
