Near as I can tell it’s actually closer to October already! I’ve been busy this month with concerts and baseball games! It is so much fun being able to get out and about without too much worry since hubby and I are both fully vaccinated AND the events we’ve been going to are either outside and/or have proof of vaccination requirements. Last post I wrote about The Fab Four and Chicago. This time we went to the San Jose Civic, a new favorite of ours, and saw John Waite and Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo. Great show and as you can see, since it was an indoor event masks were worn. We had wonderful seats in the 4th row and there were no picture taking restrictions other than the usual no flash. I have to say that in all the places we’ve been to so far the entry process has been smooth and painless.
We also got memberships to the new 415 Club at Oracle Park where our Giants play. This section is above the visiting bullpen (great for heckling!) and is named because the area code in San Francisco is 415 but also the seats are 415 feet from home plate. With our memberships (we got 2) we each got 10 vouchers for games. So far we’ve been to a total of 3 games with 3 more to go. We can use as many vouchers per game as we want so the kids and a couple of friends have come with us. We won’t be able to use all the vouchers before the end of the season (the program didn’t start when the season began) but we will get to have advance presale for playoff and World Series tickets because of the membership so that’s exciting. We got some pretty cool swag too. I’m wearing the 415 hat and on the Friday game we went to they gave us light up wristbands. You have to show your wristband to get into the members only section! We definitely will get the membership again next year. Totally worth the price.
We are so proud of our boys in Orange and Black. They are doing so well this year! Such exciting games with extra innings and come from behind wins. First to 100 wins! Now if we can just keep the dreaded Dodgers at bay and win the Division Title!
Speaking of orange and black, it is almost time for Halloween! I’ve been crafting some new mini-albums and cards for the Etsy shop. One of them has sold already! Fastest turnaround I think has ever happened. I’m working on a Thanksgiving one now. I have 2 holiday boutiques coming up in November so I better get cracking in the studio.
That’s my catch up. What have you been up to? The end of the year doesn’t seem so far!
Thanks to Linda for the #SoCS prompt of Near/Far.

Hi, Janet!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see you and your hubby out and about and enjoying a range of activities at venues around your region, dear friend! I am also delighted to learn that you guys didn't experience any delays or hassles as you made the rounds of your favorite places and took part in your favorite activities. I think this is the first time you posted about San Jose Civic. It looks like a wonderful venue. I envy you getting to see Pat Benatar for the umpteenth time. Clearly you found a great deal with the memberships and vouchers for Giants games at the 415 Club at Oracle Park. Looks like they too have their act together, have figured out how to make the experiences of fans as pleasant as possible. I'm glad your home team boys of summer are doing well this season. You took some superb pictures, Janet!
I love your orange, black and green craft wares for Halloween and Thanksgiving, and I'm glad the Etsy orders are coming in.
Thanks for reporting in, dear friend Janet. Take care, give my buddy Benny a pat on the noggin for me, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Thanks Shady! It is fun being part of a semi-exclusive club and this is the first year that they offered the 415 Membership so we are founding members. The San Jose Civic is a smaller venue which makes most all seats good seats. The tickets are less expensive there as well which is a bonus. Hope your Sunday goes well. I'll be in the studio since hubby will be watching football.
