WHEN/WHERE TO MEET: Meet inside the seating area at about 5:00 p.m. -- ideally, in the left-hand seating section for a better view of the piano. (The show starts at 5:30 p.m.; Piedmont Piano shows typically consist of one 90-minute set with no intermission.)

OPTIONAL POST-SHOW DINNER: When you RSVP, indicate if you want to join me for dinner (space allowing) at a Japanese restaurant on Telegraph, about a block from the piano store. Dinner limited to six people to facilitate getting a table. ( I'll gladly accommodate additional people for the concert by itself.)

HOW TO FIND ME: I'm WF, about 5 feet tall, with glasses, and short salt and pepper hair (see my photo with my Meetup profile). I'll email RSVPers my phone number prior to the event.

TRANSIT/PARKING: The piano store is a short walk from the 19th Street and 12th Street Oakland BART stations. (The closest BART exit is the one near 17th and Telegraph, accessible from the 19th Street BART stop.) There are at least two paid parking lots in the area, and there is often free street parking unless there are shows at the three large concert halls in the neighborhood.
