Go Oakland CA!

The Paramount Theatre in Oakland is glorious! The BF and I went recently to see the incredible Leonard Cohen, one of the world's greatest songwriters of all time-- imho. :) It was a wonderful show and well worth it. His lyrics, the way he thinks, deep, romantic-- so brilliant. Had to take an iphoto snap of the neon while standing in line... cuz it's what I do! There are some great interiors too, beautiful art deco sculptural elements everywhere you look.
That's two beautiful Oakland theatres in a row.. hmmmmm.



Chris and I had a really wonderful time! He's so sweet, and so handsome don'cha think? :)

Tesla at the Fox in Oakland

What a gorgeous place, the Fox theatre in Oakland California. Tesla played there last night and the experience was impressive. The sound is great, the theatre is gorgeous. It was built in 1928 but sat unoccupied for forty years before getting refurbished and opening it's doors to great entertainment once again.
The detail in this place is spectacular, reminiscent of a day when grandeur ruled. It's finally playing host again to wonderful events like the Tesla show last night. It was the first time I've gone to one of their shows without a camera-- just for the sheer joy of hanging out, listening and watching. I had fun! But encouraged by a friend who wanted this exterior photo I shot this with an iPhone, so glad I did!
