EVENT COST: Tickets are about $28 per person online (or, if the show doesn't sell out in advance, you can buy a ticket at the door for $30 with either cash or Venmo). I also welcome $1.00 donations to defray the hefty fee that Meetup charges me as lead organizer of the Live Jazz (& Blues) Group.
TICKET INFO: Buy your own tickets at the following link. (Scroll down on the Humanitix Back Room calendar page to find the Jan. 24 show.)

SEATING: General admission, mainly on couches, in a casual, pleasantly funky, coffeehouse-type setting
WHEN/WHERE TO MEET: Meet me out front of the Back Room by 7:30 p.m., so we can get seats together. If we miss each other there, look for each other in the seating area. (The show is scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m. and will likely consist of two sets, ending at about 10:00 p.m.)
HOW TO FIND ME: I'm WF, 5 feet tall, with short, salt-and-pepper hair, and glasses. (See my photo with my Meetup profile.) I'll send my cellphone number and more info to RSVPers prior to the event. PLEASE TEXT ME IF YOU DON'T SPOT ME.
STILL TBD: Possibilities for an optional pre-show dinner at a nearby restaurant. Stay tuned for updates on that :) ... (NOTE: I typically limit dinners to six Meetup members who don't flake out on their RSVPs - but will gladly accommodate additional people for the show itself.)
(NOTE: NO food or drink is sold at the Back Room, but you are free to bring your own snacks or BYOB.)

PARKING: Parking is easier to find as you get away from Shattuck OR as you go north of University. There is also a paid garage a few blocks away, but folks typically find free parking on side streets or main streets. http://backroommusic.com/transportation-parking/
TRANSIT/LOCATION: The Back Room is located just off University, about a block from MLK (and Trader Joe's), on AC Transit bus routes, and less than a half-mile from the downtown Berkeley BART station.
