## Notes

Fortunately, while sipping my Sunday morning coffee, I noticed that our LINES tickets were for the matinee instead of the evening performance, as I'd accidentally entered the latter date onto our calendar. Whoops! Good thing we got that straightened out in time!

I enjoyed today's show, and it's always a treat to hear Alonzo speak ... he's got a lot of interesting things to say!

Lou Fancher posted a nice [promo article](https://www.sfcv.org/article/maya-lahyani-and-alonzo-king-find-common-ground) -- which includes a few stunning pictures -- at SFCV.
