Located on the lush green lawn that is Gabrielson Park, and abutting the Bay, the event is ideally located in the calmest weather location Sausalito has to offer. You’ll want to arrive early to stake out a spot if you’re hoping to get a patch of grass. On warm days those coveted spots can fill up by 5:30; the music starts at 6:30 and generally goes until 8:00.
Family and dog-friendly, kids like to catch hermit crabs between rocks near the shore, while the adults often bring picnics and enjoy the company of friends. It’s a perfect way to start the weekend. If you don’t bring an assortment of snacks and drinks, you can find plenty of great food at the nearby Farmer’s Market which starts earlier and is located in the Bank of America parking lot. BBQ and drinks are also available at kiosks at the event.
You have a number of options for arriving at the event. There is easy parking, the ferry landing is just steps away, or you can join the ever-growing contingency of boaters that anchor just off shore and enjoy the music from there.

The music is pleasantly varied from week to week and on warm, fog-free evenings the crowd often hangs around well past sunset. Some days are warmer than others, but with a little planning you can be sure to enjoy the event no matter the weather. Afterwards you have a variety of great restaurants, bars, and cafés to choose from that are all within easy walking distance.
Bring your sunglasses and we hope to see you there!

occasionally to get my heart rate up. There are 3 sets of steps with each set containing approximately 180 steps. Everyone’s heart rate races to near maximum (even the elite runners) and the stairs are at the beginning of the race! I hope to participate in the Dipsea race again in the near future, however as a realtor in Mill Valley, Sundays are work days. If you do rune the Dipsea, count on about 3 days of recovery time and that’s if you don’t crash and get injured on the tr
eacherous trails. It is also fun to gather in downtown Mill Valley Sunday morning to watch 1500 runners head in cascade canyon at the beginning of the race.

I feel very blessed to live in Mill Valley with the ability to explore and experience all the Marin has to offer. Anther super cool Mill Valley/Marin event begins this weekend!
Opening day on the San Francisco Bay is the last Sunday in April (April 25, 2010 this year) and is the Northern California sailing season’s official opening day. Join in on the festivities and watch over 150 boats, beautifully decorated and adorned, cruise across San Francisco Bay in parade formation.
This annual event, dating back to 1917 and organized by the 
spectators onto their boats to party with them.
These are very stressful times in our challenged real estate market and in this recessionary economy. One of the many options in Mill Valley that helps me (and my colleagues) persevere and stay positive is Tuesday night comedy at 142 Throckmorton. Every Tuesday night you can enjoy comedy at The Throckmorton Theater starting at 8:00 and going to 10:30 and sometimes even 11:00. The Tuesday night comedy is called Mark Pitta and Friends. Laughter is a great stress reducer in these stressful times. I went last night with a group of friends and we saw several local comedians and we laughed our selves silly. Sometimes laughing at yourself is the most fun. As a Mill Valley resident and local realtor I try to attend Comedy night once a month. It is a great way to get together with friends and have dinner at one of our local restaurants and walk over to 142 Throckmorton for an evening of laughter. Many times local residents, Robin Williams and/or Dana Carvey, will show up and practice their routines on us before taking to the road (i.e. Las Vegas, New York etc.). The comedy is always funny and occasionally a bit raunchy. The performers will pick on audience members so be prepared to be put on the spot. For times and performances go to

A beautification project along the Tiburon/Belvedere Peninsula is now in the works. Spearheaded by local residents Randi Brinkman and Hazel Carter of Frank Howard Allen and Charles Auerback, the former Mayor of Belvedere, flower baskets will be erected mid-April to line Tiburon Boulevard leading to the entrance of the downtown area of shopping and restaurants and the ferry to San Francisco. This project is being funded by local businesses and residents; the City of Tiburon is providing the watering and maintenance. It has truly become a community project and the hope is it will expand across the Peninsula.

One of the many benefits of living in Marin is the dedication to nature and open space in our county. One such example is the Audubon Canyon Ranch in Stinson Beach overlooking the 
Mention Valentine’s Day and our thoughts turn to cards, chocolates and roses. But have you ever wondered how we came to celebrate this holiday?
Friday evening, October 30, was a magnificent Indian summer night in Tiburon. San Francisco glistened as our backdrop to a wonderful performance by 
The Golden Imperial Burmese teak floors provided great acoustics when combined with our spacious rooms and high ceilings. All 110 guests were seated comfortably for the performance and the patrons were very appreciative and complimentary of the home and the ambiance. 
Halloween weekend is here and it is time to bob for apples at the neighborhood Halloween party. Not only is it fun and wet, but if you are lucky enough to snag one of those apples, you are in for a delicious and nutritious snack. 
San Francisco won big with hosting the 
On Thursday, September 24th we hosted a “twilight open house” at 85 Spring Lane in Tiburon. We invited members of the community, friends, and family, clients (past and present) as well as select agents and brokers. The event was catered by Bistro 35, a new restaurant opening soon on Main Street in Tiburon. The event was a huge success attended by more than 100 people. The feedback has been fantastic about the house, the food and the overall high energy vibe everybody felt. Twilight opens can be very effective when planned for and executed in a timely fashion. 85 Spring Lane was the perfect house for “twilight”. It was a beautiful evening and a great time was had by all. 
Sunday September 6th, 2009 join Tiburon and Belvedere for their Labor Day Parade starting at 1 PM. The parade runs from downtown Main Street and ends up at Belvedere Park for the final “Concert in the Park” featuring Cosmo Fraser and his reggae group. Bring your children for a photo op on a San Francisco Trolley hosted by Frank Howard Allen at the end of the Parade in the Belvedere Park.
Then look no further than the yacht clubs perched at our water’s edge. While I am not a sailor by any stretch (I was born in the desert), I love to hang out by the water and watch the boats come in and out of the harbor. I always marvel at how easily the captains maneuver the boats in and out of the slips. But if you are interested in actually belonging to that club of boating types, we have four great opportunities for you to commune with other sailors.

There is an unadvertised summer sunset cruise on Fridays and Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. from the dock where the Angel Island State Park ferry departs. This cruise allows you to bring on your favorite beverage and snacks and even the family dog (which some passengers did but we did not even attempt). I took my family from Arizona to view Tiburon, Corinthian Island and Belvedere from the water. On a sunny, calm day, the captain will go out to the Golden Gate Bridge but not on this night. The cost is $20 a person and I highly recommend you take a look yourself as well as take your out of town family and friends. Photo ops are plentiful and it is fun to see all of the boats and homes from the harbor.
