Greetings and Happy Thanksgiving,
Rockin’ Robin’s will be closed
today, as are most businesses, so everyone can stuff themselves, take naps,
watch football and wonder why they couldn’t come from a normal family.
First my gratitude to all you came
to see the 'Women Rock the Night' show last Saturday at Oskar Blues in
Lyons. It was
SRO as usual this year…..soon we’ll need a bigger venue….the Boulder Theater, perhaps?
If you missed it or you were there, there is a new slide show of pics on the
website….center column beneath the Rhythm on the Rails pics.
Plan Ahead: The
17th Annual Sagittarius Ball will be Saturday, Dec.
5th at the Elks Club as usual. This year's band will be the Diva of
Denver herself, Hazel Miller. Tickets are $25 in advance and can be purchased here at Rockin' Robin's! Where you can also
choose something fabulous and sparkly to wear as
this the only Boulder
event where people actually dress up! And boy do I have a LOT
of sparkly fabulous dresses and formals in!
Niwot Happenings: Friday, Nov. 27, 5 to 8
pm, is Enchanted Evening in
Niwot! This annual event is a perfect thing to bring the visiting relatives
to….includes shuttle rides around Niwot on Banjo
Billy's Bus, (with historical as well as hysterical commentary), the
official tree lighting, and live music in 4 locations….the Niwot Semi-Marching
Free Grange Band will be playing outside at the tree lighting (corner of 2nd
Ave and Niwot Rd), Christine Tulis
will be playing the harp inside the Niwot Inn, the
Ptarmigan String Quartet will be playing Christmas Carols inside the
Emporium, and Clay Rose
will be inside WiNot Coffee shop. There will also be performances of an
original skit by the Teen
Theater on the Green inside the Emporium, and Santa will be inside Niwot
Interiors! Stores will all be open late with specials and refreshments so come
out, see all the displays, and enjoy the feeling of a small town holiday in
Niwot.

Clothes this
week: I got in a great
collection of larger sizes this week...lots of blouses, pants
and a some holiday formal wear...from size 16 to 22. Jewelry queen,
Judy White dropped in with a new collection of funky and fantastic pieces,
lots more in the way of coats, jackets, furs.....but by far....the holiday
sparklies are taking over the store! If you have a party to go to, or the
Sagg Bash...you must come in and try on some of these dresses and formals.
I've really never seen anything like it this year!
Band
of the Week Video: One of the showstoppers at the Women Rock the Night Show was Jessica Rowand belting out a Susan Tedeschi number....who she had
the privilege of singing with this past summer. Paul Rogalski, her husband, helped me
out by playing bass with the Niwot Timberline Symphony when I got to conduct a few weeks ago...which
by the way...if you haven't watched that video...wasssupp with that? Paul and
Jessica have a great little band called Mojomama and a great little music school in
Longmont called Mojo's Music
Academy and this Saturday night they're at the Brick
House/Lazy Dog on Pearl St. They're also my Band of the Week Video. Enjoy!
