The Doobie Brothers @ The Center For Performing Arts in Downtown San Jose - 3/12/11

I love getting all dolled up once a year to attend Santa Clara University's Board of Fellows' black tie charity event Golden Circle with my entire extended family & a ton of my close old friends from San Jose. Every year, we begin the evening at 6pm with a live show at The Center For Performing Arts in Downtown San Jose. In years past, I've been lucky enough to see Huey Lewis & The News, Gladys Knight, The Pointer Sisters, Smokey Robinson & even Kenny Loggins! You KNOW you're jealous about Kenny...haha. Then, 2,000+ people dressed in tuxedos & fancy dresses block traffic for at least 10-15 minutes while walking from the CPA to the Fairmont Hotel for a cocktail hour, a gourmet sit-down meal & dancing until midnight or later. It kinda ends up feeling like a wedding & it's an absolute blast every year. The all-you-can drink wine is just the icing on the cake ;-)
