On Wednesday night Hunter, Leah, Jodie and I went to Yoshi's for a special show -- Jill Sobule and Julia Sweeney performing together as part of SF Sketchfest.
They sang (mostly Jill) and told stories (mostly Julia) for a really entertaining 1.5 hours. Julia talked about the mechanics of frog reproduction, the frustration of sending letters to exes, the perils of obsessive knitting, and she and Jill being compared to The Golden Girls. Jill sang of love, Bobbie Gentry, aging in "the industry," and the BearBucks at 18th and Castro.
Celebrity non-sighting: Don Novello, who was apparently sitting in the balcony but we never saw him. (He, as Father Guido Sarducci, performed Julia's wedding! Jill was a bridesmaid. Awww.)
Dick T asked me how you liked the Jazz show. He should know better.
Welcome back, and see you tonight. Ummm, steak.
