Happy clear skies Tomatoes!  Looks like we are truly heading into one of our most magical times of year in the bay. As much as we are craving community, virtual offerings are still the norm. We found some fun new theatrical experiences and a virtual fashion show. Love photography and walking? An online class that gets you out and about is worth investigating. It’s also time to give thanks as we gradually re-open. In fact, the DeYoung opens to the public oh so soon. And guess who was this week’s Happy Hour Podcast guest? Moi.

BROADWAY FLIPPED! Available October 15-25, 2020
