The Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra is in it’s 77th season under the direction of John Farrer. This season I attended the Bohemian Rhapsody concert. There’s a distinctive feel in the air at a symphony that I just love. The sharp crisp sounds and the precision of the conductor were mesmerizing. At some point my head was bobbing with the beat. I enjoyed seeing the different age groups, young and old, come together on stage for their love of classical music. This was a great educational evening. For more information about the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra check out their website.

The Bakersfield Jazz Orchestra performed songs from the Harlem Renaissance Jazz Era tonight at The Nile Theatre. The popular Jazz songs were played with such enthusiasm that I wanted to jump up and Lindy Hop across the floor. They played one of my favorites; Take the “A” train. Music always feeds the soul, and I left The Nile full of Jazz. The Harlem Renaissance Jazz Tribute by the Bakersfield Jazz Orchestra was part of The Big Read Events. The Nile Theatre is located at 1721 19th St.

I thought no one gives you anything free any more until I called Guitar Center. I needed to get my husband’s guitar tuned, not knowing anything about a guitar assuming it would be expensive, I phoned Guitar Center and asked if they would tune the guitar. After the question came the awkward price pause…”it’s free just bring it in any day”. I couldn’t believe it, Free!! I quickly took the guitar by and they tuned it without any questions. And they informed me that they have a FREE class on learning how to tune your Guitar. ☺ Guitar Center is located at 3428 Ming Ave.

If you’re in the mood for speed, check out Superkart Racing. These Superkarts are really fast and fun. I did the practice session and my fastest lap was 25MPH. The course is shaped like a “2”, so it’s very curvy. As soon as you pick up speed it’s time to turn. Overall it was a pricy adrenaline rush! At Superkart Racing you can have birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette & corporate parties. It’s a great hang out place for the guys. They serve Beer and have video games. Superkart Racing is located at 7021 B. Schirra Ct.

I didn’t know a business like Media Post existed until I wanted a copy of myself on KGET’s morning show. After being interviewed on KGET I contacted them for a copy of the show and they directed me to a company, Media Post that records all their footage. Yes, their job is to record ALL local News Programming. So if you ever need a copy, new or old, of something you saw on the news they are the ones you contact. Their office is Media mayhem, with monitors feeding you nothing but news. Media Post also copies and burns CD’s & DVD’s. The owner was great and really helped me out! ☺ Media Post is located at 903 H. St. #150.

The Junior League of Bakersfield had their annual Wine Fest November 22nd at Stier’s RV in the Auto Mall. I was on the decorating committee so I had the opportunity to help make the event shine with the theme “Starry Night”. This was my first Wine Fest, and I thoroughly enjoyed the night of elegance, that for me started on the red carpet and ended on a couch in the sports tent watching football and eating wings. ☺ Everyone had a great time consuming wine from local vineyards, eating, and bidding on auction items. I enjoyed the sports tent, and warmed up around the fire with billowing cigars. Next year I’ll be dressed for the Red Carpet! For more information on the Junior League of Bakersfield and their events check out their website at www.juniorleagueofbakersfield.org.
