Lou Adler be damned, Another Planet usually does things right.
This could be good.
Or not.
But the venue really is pretty cool.
And pretty much exactly the same as it was 50 years ago.
Ghosts in that place for sure.

ie, was one of the catalysts responsible for the influx of hoards into the Haight-Ashbury that resulted in the destruction of a good scene.

We'll probably get a hotel room with a pool across the street from the fairgrounds if it amounts to anything worth going.
Y'all can come hang there though.

Jack Johnson is entertaining.
His crowd is like a sorority party.
I saw him at the Greek and enjoyed it.
Though a lot of his tunes sound the same he can entertain.

Festival is coming up this weekend. I'm surprised Jerry Miller Band is not part of this or the Summer Solstice show in SF? I see that he is performing in the area at Don Quixote's on 6/17, Biscuits & Blues on 6/18 and Poor House Bistro in San Jose on 6/23.

I hate to call this one out but he's the local pride of Dallas-Ft Worth. Not sure where they got the "Georgia" unless they were thinking of Otis..

I hear it's glorious in Monterey this weekend. I bet it isn't that crowded, the venue and grounds are very cool and I'm sure APE did a nice job of setting it all up.
If it wasn't so expensive I'd take a cruise down the coast tomorrow, and I'm pretty sure once inside it would be fun and I'd be happy to be there, but $105 to get in and $50 to park is way too rich for me, so a friend and I are going to a groovy jazz show on the coast in Half Moon Bay tomorrow afternoon instead.
Nothing like beating the heat with cool sounds and those cool ocean breezes!
