It's my 50th birthday AND I'm retiring from Cal Poly!!! I'm so excited to celebrate with my friends, fronds, framily, family, golf sisters, CS fam, and all you other riff raff I've picked up along the way! Music, love, food, laughter, adult beverages... all of my favorite things in one magical happy place. Doors open at 2:30pm. My talented nephew, Jude Pearson, will kick off the music at 3pm! The full music schedule is below (times approximate). I have an amazing line-up of my talented friends and favorite local (and not so local) musicians for you to enjoy! Come for any/all of the day. I'm am so excited to spend time with each of you.
Special thank yous to Alex and Reese for designing my festival poster, to Reese for being my music co-ordinator, to all the incredibly talented musicians who are making this the celebration epic, and to Noelle for opening up her amazing brewery for us!
