Good afternoon to the good citizens of Berkeley. We hope
that you got through the “Ides of March” and that you enjoyed St. Patrick’s
Day. Moving forward, it is that time when your friends at Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley
have a roundup of some things for you to do over the weekend.
Weekends are, as everyone knows, a time to kick back, relax,
and have some fun. Can one have TOO much fun? Not according to “Bill Kirchen
& Too Much Fun,” the concert that’s going on tonight at the Freight
& Salvage Coffee House, located at 2020 Addison Street. Blending (no,
jamming is the better word) the sounds of country, Texas swing, rock and roll
and honky-tonk, legendary musician Bill Kirchen goes to town with riffs,
strums, vamps and any and every form of guitar playing imaginable. Your eyes as
well as your ears will never experience anything like this again, so remember
to wear your contacts or eyeglasses to see Mr. K in action. Hey, if eyeglasses
are good for Bill Kirchen…they’re good enough for you. Showtime is 8:00
tonight. Call (510) 644-2020 for reservations, or you can order tickets here.
Has anybody seen the
movie, “Mr. Peabody and Sherman” yet? That question leads to another: are
there any dog lovers out there who are thinking of adopting a four-legged
friend? If so, you may very well want to check out the Dog Foster Orientation at OAS (which stands for Oakland Animal Services)
at 12:00 tomorrow afternoon. OAS has joined forces with Hopalong
& Second Chance Animal Rescue in an effort to recruit people who want to shelter and take in puppies
and dogs, even if it is for a temporary time frame. And if you decide to keep a
homeless pup, so much the better, and everybody wins! This gathering will be
held at City of Berkeley: Animal Care Services at One Bolivar Drive. For more
information, you can call (510) 981-6600.
The next happening
is a one-of-a-kind event that each and every bride-to-be in the Berkeley area
will want to know about. “Wedding Wow!” will take place on Sunday beginning at
12:00 in the afternoon. Ladies, for an admission price of only $20.00, you will
have the opportunity to meet a host of wedding experts, planners and the alike
as you sip champagne and browse through an array of fashions, décor, and floral
arrangements to choose from for your big day. The setting for this
almost-too-good-to-be-true happening is at the Claremont Hotel and Resort, at
41 Tunnel Road. You may call 510-549-8591 or email
claremontcatering@claremont-hotel.com for anything else you’d like to know. (While you’re on the
phone, or at the hotel, remember to ask about the “Claremont 4 Star Package.”)
There friends, you have this month’s
“Events Edition.” We hope that no one minds that we targeted this blog to
specific interest groups, but these DID read as noteworthy events. (Heck, some
of us who either do or don’t own dogs, and who are or are not married were
impressed.) For more choices of things to do this weekend, feel free to click
here to learn more.
Thanks for reading…enjoy the weekend…and keep your sites on
healthy vision.
