Notes

Amazing! Stupendous! Dazzling!

I'm sure that it helped improve my experience to be sitting in the front row, just a few feet away from Hilary as she spun magic out of thin air with her fiddle and bow: once you get seduced by the experience of being that close, it's hard to be satisfied with seats farther back in the house.

Joshua Kosman posted a nice review for the SF Chronicle Datebook.
