## Notes

We arrive at SFJAZZ and head upstairs. Midway up, I spot the red strip closing off the balcony stairs. Dang! Another show where they'll be reseating us? This time I head downstairs to the box office instead of trying to make a deal with the ushers upstairs and their fistsful of side-angle seating. One of the employees waves me over and greets me. I explain my predicament, and he offers multiple excellent choices. Yay! He reseats me in the center of row J. Just exactly perfect!
