First Person Singular, the renowned literary series, is once again hosting a benefit for WriterCoach Connection, and it'll be here before we know it, on Feb. 26.
Following last year's smash February fundraiser (titled "I'm with Cupid") on behalf of WCC at Pegasus Books on Solano Avenue in Berkeley, Pegasus chieftain Joe Christiano will team up again with vocalist Theresa Kelly and pianist Joshua Raoul Brady and, this year, with The All-a-Quiver Chorus for "I'm with Cupid 2: New Wave Pleasures and Post-Punk Paens."
The fun will fill the upstairs parish hall of St. Alban's Church in Albany starting at 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 26. And we do mean fun: check out Joe and Theresa from last year's event at Pegasus, and the noisy and appreciative standing-room-only audience:
The parish hall is adjacent to St. Alban's Church at 1501 Washington Street (a block from Solano Avenue) in Albany. This space is renowned for its superb accoustics and there will be more room at this year's First Person Singular fundraiser for WCC, with plenty of seating. Suggested donation to WCC will be $10.
We're so grateful to First Person Singular and to St. Alban's for offering us this gracious Valentine once again. We hope you'll check out the full calendar of monthly First Person Singular events and that you'll visit any or all of the three Pegasus locations: 5560 College Avenue in Oakland, or 2349 Shattuck Avenue and 1855 Solano Avenue in Berkeley. Meantime, of course, we hope to see you for "I'm with Cupid 2" on Feb. 26!
