Hi Everyone,
Sorry, but Lindy in the Park is canceled today (2/2/2014) due to rain. We didn’t think it would ever happen again ;-), but it’s currently raining here in San Francisco (10:00am) and the forecasts predict rain throughout the afternoon. We hope to be back next week, weather permitting.

On Sunday, December 22, 2013, there will be a special Holiday edition of Lindy in the Park, decorated in holiday cheer, with swingin’ holiday music and treats! Hot apple cider and hot chocolate will be served (compliments of Santa’s helpers). And a special a cappella performance is also planned!
Bring your holiday spirit by wearing your Santa hats, dressing in Christmas colors, or bringing some holiday drinks, treats, or snacks.
Same LitP time (11:00am-2:00pm) and place (JFK Drive, Golden Gate Park).
Hope to see you!

Daylight Savings Time Ends Early Sunday Morning, Nov. 3, 2013!
So remember to reset all your clocks and watches back one hour Saturday night to standard time (“rock step, spring forward, fall back, triple-step”). And you’ll get an extra hour of sleep–-woohoo! Otherwise, you may show up to Lindy in the Park earlier than you expect–-you may even show up on time at 11:00 AM! 😉
