Hi Folks!
I’m doing a 90 minute set at the bookstore in Manzanita Friday October 17th at 430pm
Lots of amazing things happening in town that day and evening and I’ll be done by 6 so you can Art, Music, Writing Hop in Town and around. If you want to hear any of my tunes you can find them anywhere if you google my name. Also I’ll have a guest book for you to sign if you want to get a letter from me every couple of weeks … and remember I am offering Life Coaching Walk and Talks for coasties at sliding scale rates so get in touch if that sounds fitting as we turn into a new season on all levels. Warmly, Deb

What to Expect:

Kids Friendly Competition: Start the day with welcoming, physical skill-building activities, designed just for kids. It’s a chance to get active, build confidence, roll with new partners, and make coastal memories.

All Ages Open Mat Free Roll: After the kids finish, it’s your turn to move your body, sharpen your game, get in some good rolls, with 20 minutes of open mat free rolls.

* Friendly competition
* Supervised games and activities for the kids 
* Rock wall, climbing ropes, crash mats and more!

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Saturday November 1st. 7:00 p.m. LIBERACE AND LIZA – A TRIBUTE at the NCRD Performing Arts Center. Liberace and Liza Minelli never actually shared the stage, but thanks to David Saffert and Jillian Snow, now they do! The SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE called it “Surreal, yet oddly perfect”. Equal parts tribute, improv, and full-on fever dream, the show blends virtuosic piano playing, powerhouse vocals, and “more sequins than strictly necessary”. The setlist swings from Cabaret and Gershwin to hilarious re-imaginings of Britney Spears and Lady Gaga. PG-13. Reserved seating $30, general admission $25, available at tickettomato.com/event/9671. A big thank you to our sponsors: Manzanita Beach Getaway, Visit Tillamook Coast, Ocean Inn, Realty One Group, Nehalem River Retreat, Rob and Sharon Borgford, Jack and Cindy Kenne, Erika Navarro and David Self.
