My side of the table had booth like seating for me and my companion, while a good friend was in a tall chair on the other side, allowing us all to be at the same height. Interesting interior and seating. I started my evening with the Lobster Bisque, which was delightful. It’s not on their regular menu, so I won’t go into too much detail.

It was a little bland and didn’t havemuch in the way of “lava” but the rest of the meal was so good, I didn’t dwell on this course. SILICON VALLEY CONCIERGE ASSOCIATION The only drawback to our experience at this restaurant was the constant rushing we received from our waiter. Maybe because it was New Year’s Eve and he wanted to turn the tables as fast as possible, but we hadn’t even finished our appetizers when the meals arrived. We did tell him that Follow Us! it was very quick and his response was that it was “like magic”. We were unable to slow him down and felt pressured to eat and go. CIAO BELLA!

I enjoyed last year’s campaign so much that I couldn’t wait to get started again. Together, we raised $8.7 million for our favorite charities. I am proud to say this was the most we’ve ever raised and the biggest annual increase in the history of the campaign. It was truly a fantastic year, and working with so many wonderful and compassionate volunteers was a tremendous inspiration. In fact, my belief that Californians are the most generous people in the world is stronger than ever, and I know that we can set the bar even higher this year.

    Flutter AXIS Premier October 2019 ​ Choreographer: Robert Dekkers ​ Rehearsal Director: Sonsherée Giles ​ Dancers: Cast One | Yuko, AJ Guevara, and JanpiStar ​ Cast Two | Bradford Chin, Yuko Monden Juma, DeMarco Sleeper ​ ​ ​ Music: Clapping Music by Steve Reich, ​ Partita for Solo Violin No. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1004: III. Sarabande by Johann Sebastian Bach Lighting Design: Walter Holden ​ Costume Design: Christian Squires ​ Wardrobe Assistant: Marge Funabiki ​ Summary Robert Dekkers’ Flutter—which has been noted for its music being something dancers dance against rather than with, was originally staged for Post:Ballet with an all-female cast, an all-male cast, and then a mixed-gender cast; the work has been refocused by Dekkers through the lens of physically integrated dance as a way of highlighting the skills of the individual AXIS dancers as well as how they come together as a cohesive company. “Flutter is a meditation on the relationship between the individual and the collective. It explores the space between masculinity and femininity, form and freedom, effort and pleasure.” —Robert Dekkers Collaborators Robert Dekkers, Choreographer for Flutter is the founder and Artistic Director of ​ ​ Post:Ballet. Collaborating with eclectic artists to present performances that are “anything but risk averse” (SF Chronicle), Robert has created new works for Post:Ballet together with artists working in film, visual art, animation, architecture, sculpture, fash- ion design, and new music. Robert has received commissions from Kansas City Ballet, Atlanta Ballet, Grand Rapids Bal- let, Smuin Ballet, sjDANCEco, San Jose State University, Stanford University, Southern Methodist University, and Quixotic Cirque Noveau.
