A tip of the hat to the Washington Pavilion and Steve Hoffman, its executive director. Look at what’s gone on there in just the last seven days: Bill Cosby, Miss Saigon and Elvis Costello.

Agreed. A year ago for my birthday I was able to draw a friend from Minneapolis to SF for Ben Folds. This year I was able to draw TWO to Elvis Costello.

Happy Birthday to me!

Elvis played non stop for just under 2 1/2 hours. Amazing.
