Are You Ready For Some Fun This Week?

I haven't seen this much fun since watching YouTube BIG FAILS while standing in line at Safeway.

You know what fun is? Fun is when you're not stuck in Hwy 4 traffic thinking about your mortgage payments! Fun is when you can eat a taco, drink a coldie and enjoy a free music concert.

We got music, we got markets, we got food trucks - it's like a carnival, but with better parking and fewer carnies trying to guess your weight!

So here's what's happening this week - and trust me, it beats sitting at home watching infomercials for vegetable choppers you'll never use:

MUSIC & MARKET Thr 6/5 Market opens 4pm band starts @ 6:30. Todos Santos Plaza, Concord
ROCK THE PLAZA Fri 6/6 music 6-8 Lafayette Plaza, Lafayette
FIRST FRIDAY Fri 6/6 Live Music, food trucks, 5-9, Civic Center Park, Oakley
NIGHT MARKET Fri 6/6 Food trucks & vendors celebrate Hawaiian/ Asian culture, DVC Pleasant Hill
SHADELANDS CAR SHOW Sun 6/8 Food, beer, live music and beautiful cars.
CONCERT BY THE LAKE Sun 6/8, Food, beer and wine and a great local band 6pm Pleasant Hill City by the lake.

Hey folks, we have a new feature for you this week— it's GOOD EATS!

You know what that is? It's when you put food in your mouth, and it doesn't taste like cardboard!

Now, I don't know about you, but I love a good meal. I love it almost as much as I love listening to a great rock band in the park for free. Use the money you saved listening to a good concert to invest in quality food and drinks.

But seriously, folks, this here newsletter – it's got everything you need to know about where to hear great music cheap and where to eat, and some great restaurants. And believe me, I know a thing or two about stuffing faces. I've been doing it professionally for decades!

So buckle up, buttercups – we're about to take you on a magical mystery tour of burgers, tacos, and seafood all good choices before or after a free concert.
