Well, the summer of 2014 is at the three-quarter mark. We at
Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley hope that you’ve been able to enjoy some time off,
or had time to fit some recreation into your schedules. If you haven’t gotten
in any recreation (the secret word) read on, because it is time for our events
blog…
If you are the sort of person whose favorite holiday is
Halloween, or you have a taste for gothic and horror stories, get thee down to
the Central
Works at the Berkeley City Club , located at 2315 Durant Ave. this evening for a performance of “Dracula
Inquest.” This new play by Gary Graves mixes traditional atmospheric chills
along with a twist (or two) to Bram Stoker’s iconic vampire prince.
Ticket prices range from $15.00-$28.00, and you can call (510) 558-1381 for
reservations. Or, you can order tickets (as well as see the full schedule of
performances) by clicking here. For the
die-hard fans who have scary-looking contact
lenses (we know you’re out there!), pop them in for the show!
A famous quote that you will find in
the novel and nearly every movie adaptation of “Dracula” is: “I never drink –
wine.” For those who do like a glass once in a while, you might be interested
in visiting Broc Cellars tomorrow. Beginning at 1:00 tomorrow afternoon, this winery at
805 Camelia St. holds their annual open house, known as “Broctacular
2014.” A wide variety of wine and food (courtesy of Naked Lunch restaurant in
San Francisco) will be served to satisfy your culinary curiosity. Oh, just
because the food is from Naked Lunch does not mean it is a FREE lunch (as that
saying goes). Tickets are priced from $12.50 to $25, and may be bought either
at the door, or in advance by calling (510) 542-9463.
If you attend “Broctacular 2014” and
choose to imbibe, don’t get drunk, literally. Get drunk in the figurative sense
the next day for the appropriately titled “Drunk
with Song: A Concert by Barry Warren.” If that
name is not familiar to you, his music will be, as Mr. Warren’s compositions
have been widely performed by a number of Bay Area singers and musicians. If
you are in the mood for an eclectic selection of jazz tunes from yesteryear, by
all means pay a visit to this Sunday’s concert at the California Jazz Conservatory,
at 2087 Addison St., beginning at 4:30pm. General admission is $15.00,
while students and seniors can get in for $12.00. You can purchase tickets
online at Eventbrite,
or call (510) 845-5373 to reserve your space.
Well, another month
is nearly over…but, as always, the happenings in Berkeley NEVER are! There is
always a lot to do and see (emphasis on ‘see’). If you have some time (and you
haven’t done so yet), consider schedule your appointment for an eye exam
with us. You can do this online,
so there are no excuses! Oh, and if you

Thanks for reading…enjoy the weekend…and keep your sites on
healthy vision.
