Hiromi's Sonicwonder!

Last night Adam and I had a date night to Santa Cruz! We went to Betty Burgers for dinner (yum!), got Lemon Drop cookies at Pacific Cookie Company, and the went to Kuumbwa to see Hiromi's Sonicwonder!

I discovered Hiromi on youtube a number of years ago, and was an instant fan. She's truly a jazz virtuoso, but when she plays piano, you can just see the JOY radiating out of her.

I never thought I'd get to see her live, but this was my SECOND time - after seeing her at Yoshi's in Oakland back in 2023. 

The show was amazing! I can't wait to see her play live again next time she comes around!

I was interested when I saw this book featured women who develop magic powers when they go into menopause, but it was also a crime novel! Magic, feminine rage, friendship and crime - right up my alley. The book was great and I absolutely need this to be made in to a show or a movie, and Hannah Waddingham needs to play Harriet - it would be the most perfect casting ever.
