Opening day for the San Francisco Giants at At&t Park, and the Jersey Boys sang the National Anthem! It was fantastic! The sun was shining and all 40,000 fans seemed to cheer when the Jersey Boys took to the field along side the pro b-ballers.
The second best part of the day was easily sharing or rather stealing bites, as I’m prone to do, of an Italian sausage and a beer with my boyfriend Erich Bergen. We stayed for four innings, and when things started not looking not so good for the Giants, we snuck out. Call me what you will, but I’m a Chicago fan through and through.
The day prior we took a walk up to… actually, no… not so much a walk as a hike up to the 210 ft Coit Tower, a landmark in San Fran. I’m not kidding, these hills. Wow. Forget a day at the gym, just go run some errands and you’ll see a change in that booty in no time. Yeesh. I’ll tell you what, though, the view from the top of the tower was something else. San Francisco is really a gorgeous city…
Afterwards, feeling very accomplished, Erich and I relaxed at an adorable cafe in North Beach. Is there any other kind?
All in all, it’s been a great week. Coming up: The cast of Jersey Boys will be doing a cabaret for the Richard Ermet Foundation coming up April 16th, and will perform non-Jersey Boys material at the Club Fugazi (home of Beach Blanket Babylon.) This is the bay area’s biggest AIDS foundation, and I know we are going to have a blast doing this show for them!

I wish I could go to the cabaret! But, I have a rehearsal, darn it! My sister might go, though. Can you share what you are planning to perform?
We enjoy the Jazz Odyssey videos of Erich and Deven at Birdland on YouTube.

Great blog Jackie. I’ve seen the show 5 times and counting and every single time, your performance blows me away. It’ll be great to hear more stories from the road in the future as you take this phenomenal show across the country. Now just a reccomendation, if you want to see another great view of the city, you need to go to the top of Twin Peaks when it’s a clear day, but like Coit Tower, its a hike but well worth it. It’s in the center of the city and you can see everything in SF. The view is even great on a clear night.
