* South Bay Folks' 14th Anniversary Picnic & Jam *
**************************************************
Sing and play until you or the sun drops.
Sunday, September 24th, 2006
1pm till sunset
In front of the Ranger's Office at
Vasona Lake County Park
333 Blossom Hill Road,
Los Gatos, CA 95032
South Bay Folks turns fourteen this fall, and we're celebrating. Bring
your acoustic instruments, voices, picnic baskets, friends, and family.
There is plenty of shade, a great view of Vasona Lake, and a big
barbecue pit. We'll get the fire started if you want to bring something
to grill.
Directions: From southbound Highway 17, exit at Lark Avenue and travel
east. Turn right on Los Gatos Boulevard and right again onto Blossom
Hill Road. The park main entrance will be on the right. Note that the
park has a $5 vehicle entry fee if you want to park inside the park;
there is free parking along University Ave.

* "It's so big!" *
******************
That's what folks gasp as they enter the newly remodeled performance
room at Mission City Coffee in Santa Clara. Although always a warm and
welcoming space with good acoustics, the side room at Mission City
Coffee has always been plagued with a large, central pillar that
obstructed lines of sight throughout the room. The pillar supported a
low, massive support beam that gave the room a somewhat claustrophobic
feel despite the soaring height of the ceiling. No more. As of August
10th, the pillar is gone, the room has been widened by some nine feet,
and the massive beam has been replaced by a much smaller, laminated wood
beam that spans the entire room. The difference is dramatic.
For those who haven't seen the new room yet, there are some "before" and
"after" photos here:

...and there are more changes yet to come.

We would like to remind you that until a piano is once again available
to us, electronic keyboards set to an acoustic voice are welcomed.
Mission City Coffee offers a wide variety of sandwiches and other good
food, excellent coffee, late hours, plenty of room to accommodate a
South Bay Folks crowd, and the owner is very music-friendly. It is a
pleasant space in an old building filled with character, and there are
plans afoot to make Mission City a notable South Bay venue for small,
acoustic concerts.
Directions:
From I-880 heading south, take the CA-82 exit to Santa Clara
and go 0.3 mi; bear right at The Alameda - go 0.3 mi.
From I-880 heading north, take the CA-82 exit - go 0.2 mi; bear
left onto the CA-82 N ramp to Santa Clara University
