Sold Out San Francisco (Mission)Tangents Party, Sunday, August 2

featuring

Guitarist Extraordinaire Michael Gulezian

This likely last 2009 Bay Area Tangents party hit on all cylinders. The Tangents audience was completely into it and inspired Michael to play at a level he admitted was special. I particularly thought Michael's 12 string guitar playing was exceptional.

This Mission party was a house venue debut courtesy of lovely hosts Jul and Mary. They couldn't have been more generous and accommodating. The performance space is first rate: spacious and acoustically excellent. Folks like Jul and Mary are what Tangential community is all about.

A bonus occurred during the second set when Henry Kaiser showed up and performed a couple of tunes with Michael.

The Tangents crowd also came through with a sumptuous potluck. CD's went to 3 folks who tied for best entree (including repeat entre winner Nan Torrey) and most Tangential dessert went to a cottage cheese pie baked by Cheryl and Fred Merrick. CD's also went to all the new faces as this party had a surprising number of first timers.

With the Tangents Turkey and Morocco tours happening in the fall, Bay Area Tangents parties will likely re-emerge in early 2010.

Party Feedback:

That was my favorite Tangents party yet. The venue was great and everyone there seemed to be of one mind. Also, Michael was so incredibly sweet and his performance was very moving. I am so happy I have one of his CD's so I can continue to listen to his music. You, as usual, were fun and funny and sincere and gracious. I had a fantastic time!

Another remarkable musical evening! His music is absolutely wonderful, and he's hysterically funny. And what a kick to actually meet more people who went to Woodstock at the party! - though, to be fair, it shouldn't have surprised me,since your audience is probably the most musically sophisticatedand adventurous group of people in the Bay Area

Thanks again for giving us these parties and concerts. They're
always personally energizing and musically sublime.

It was a stellar time last night, thank you so very much.  Michael's playing was absolutely transcendental.  See you next time, with love

A big thanks to you, Michael and the hosts for a wonderful evening Sunday. Kate and I really enjoyed the music, people and food. We look forward to being part of your special transcendant evenings in the future. Keep up the great work that you do.

An uplifting fun experience
