Fall Weekend at the Ruth Bancroft Garden:
Meet Greg Kihn at Swan’s Fine Books:
Swan’s Fine Books
1381 Locust St, Walnut Creek
Saturday, October 5th, 2013
2:00pm – 4:00pm | FreePlease join us on Saturday afternoon, October 5th, to meet Greg Kihn and have him sign his latest book, Rubber Soul.
Dust Bin Bob runs a second hand shop at the Flea Market on Penny Lane. He has an extensive collection of American R&B singles that he gets from Merchant Marines returning from Baltimore and New York. The action starts when he befriends some blokes by the name of John, Paul, George and Ringo and becomes their lifelong friend sharing the vinyl that will start a revolution.
From then on, it’s a rocket ride from the Beatles earliest days in Liverpool to six shows a night in Hamburg to the Cavern Club and to full-fledged Beatlemania.
You can preorder the book at Amazon.com to bring to the event; a limited number of copies will also be available at Swan’s Fine Books.
Dance Fusion Studio
1277 Boulevard Way, Walnut Creek
Saturday, September 21st, 2013
11:30am – 12:30pm | Freedance is my passion and my joy. it is the best form of expression, medicine and transformation that i know.
my choreography is inspired by the music. i tend to gravitate to earthy rhythms from various genres across the globe.
my dance style is informed by Afro-Haitian, Modern, Jazz, Latin, Freestyle, a whole lotta love, and any random thing that happens in the moment. i can often be found sweating out my emotions at ecstatic dance in Oakland.
i invite you to join me for this free class, being offered every Saturday in September (and hopefully to resume in November.)
let’s shake it loose and be at home in our bodies.
