Patrick Wolff Quartet
Details
Let's go catch some classic jazz, bebop, and more from the excellent saxophonist Patrick Wolff and his quartet! For this show, Patrick is joined by Keith Saunders, piano; Erik Markowitz, bass; and Smith Dobson, drums -- all local names that Meetup regulars are likely to recognize from various combos' past events over the years in San Francisco, the East Bay, and beyond.
EVENT COST: $20 cover charge for the show, collected upon entry to the bookstore (no advance ticket sales). CASH only for the cover charge. In addition, if you haven't donated recently to offset the $180.00 per year that Meetup charges me as lead organizer, I welcome $1.00 donations from Meetup RSVPers (via cash or PayPal).
SEATING is general-admission, on folding chairs with cushions. (The musicians are on a slightly raised stage, providing decent sightlines.) You may BYOB, but no food is allowed inside the store.
IMPORTANT: Concertgoers need to call Bird & Beckett at 415-586-3733 to request a seat for themselves. (You can mention that you're with Paula's Meetup group, but it's not necessary to do so.) After you have heard back from the store that you have a reservation, please let me know so that I have a good idea of how many Meetup attendees to expect.
WHEN/WHERE TO MEET: Unless joining me for the optional pre-show dinner, meet outside the bookstore no later than 7:10 p.m. Please allow extra time for transit or parking, since latecomers risk forfeiting their seats to other people in line. (The concert is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m., and will likely go to at least 9:30 p,m.)

HOW TO FIND ME: See my photo with my Meetup profile. (I'm WF, about 5 feet tall, with glasses and short, salt-and-pepper hair.) I'll send my cellphone number to RSVPers before the show.
TRANSIT/PARKING: The bookstore is located less than two blocks from the Glen Park BART station and Muni bus lines (and about one block from two ATMs) in an attractive commercial/residential neighborhood. Parking is on the street.
OPTIONAL PRE-SHOW DINNER at 6:00 p.m. at a good Thai restaurant across the street from Glen Park BART station. The headcount for the dinner is limited to six people (with preference to Meetup members who don't have a habit of flaking out on their rsvps). I'll happily accommodate additional people for the concert itself. When RSVPing for the concert, please indicate if you're interested in the dinner as well (as space allows).
