Bay Area Highlights

I lifted a few of the standouts from the Sept 5th-19th edition of the Bay Area Highlights Newsletter to help you plan your upcoming weekend. The newsletter's a great resource for clueing you in on what's going on around here, especially the musicians playing in concert venues from the Mountain Winery to the Shoreline Amphitheatre. It's designed by Cyndi Solomon from the North American Title Company, and it always features exciting local events.
