The House of Floyd show at Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre on November 3rd was so well received that we've already scheduled to bring it back on November 8, 2008! How's that for planning ahead? This show brought a laserium quality laser show, video, lights and live music to Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre and delivered a stunning multimedia package with live music. I'm still getting emails and phone calls from people in the audience that night. This show is the most complex show I produce. There was a moment after loadin -- when equipment, instruments and cables were covering the stage. There were technicians and roadies and musicians and venue staff everywhere and I thought --- "Are we going to put this all together in time?" At other times, as I tried to keep out of everyone's way, I thought "What were you thinking? Why don't you produce comedy shows? A chair, a mic.....it's so easy!" But, come 8 pm and, of course, all was well. Thank you to House of Floyd for being such a great band to work with, and thank you to the technical staff of Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre. Everyone came together and the show was wonderful!

I finally got a chance to see the inside of The Empress Theatre in Vallejo. I've been hearing good things about The Empress and it's all true! The Empress has been beautifully restored to it's glory. It just goes to show what a few million dollars can do! My hats off to all involved in this restoration. You can be proud.

The Majestic Theatre in Benicia is not going to be available to rent for the next 3 months. Robert is taking a break from renting the theatre through the winter so the opening of The Empress couldn't happen at a better time for me. I spoke with Robert last week and he'll let me know as soon as The Majestic is available to rent, but for now -- there aren't going to be any shows at The Majestic Theatre. We've certainly had some memorable shows with some wonderful artists -- Steve Freund, Tommy Castro, Maria Muldaur, Johnny Ace, Cathy Lemons, Pork Pie Phillips, Alvon, Mz. Dee, Stef Burns, Kenny Saydak, The Alameda Allstars, The Detroit Disciples, The Volker Strifler Band, The Bud E. Luv Trio, Bill Haley's Original Comets, VOENA, The David Thom Band, Craig Horton, The Suburban Comedy Tour, George Winston, House of Floyd and Antsy McClain and The Trailer Park Troubadours....

I'd like to thank Robert, the owner of The Majestic, for two wonderful years of shows at The Majestic!
