My wife and I see a lot of live music. We always have questions about the shows we are about to attend, especially when they take place at a venue we have never been to. The only question we have for tomorrow night’s performance now is, “will he do 7 Come 11?”

HopMonk Novato is way ahead of the game. I think we have a lot of trips to Novato in our future.
