Hi Nicole - it is a lot to schlep! We had two very big insulated zipper bags and put them on a collapsable dolly.
Have fun at your concert!

This sounds like an amazing night. I love viewing the different tables. And your menu! Well it sounds wonderful and a lot to carry in! How do you do it? I need tips for concert in the park down here.

Ahh Lisa- SWEET BABY JAMES! Love it. I hope you got Chris' CD. I am so enjoying the music, especially first thing in the morning.

You and I switched, I grew up there and moved here, and you the opposite.

Oh, Lori Lynn! This whole thing is so wonderful! First of all, your menu is amazing; I want to eat every single thing on it. And then there's the table setting; gorgeous, and just perfect for the picnic. I enjoyed seeing the other tables, too.

I attended my first-ever concert at the Hollywood Bowl (I grew up in L.A.) It was James Taylor, and I think the year was 1972. So your post brings back nice memories. You got beautiful photos of this wonderful venue.

Finally, thank you for introducing me to Chris Botti. I adore his quote here, and I plan to run out and buy Italia.

Hi again Marie - oh, I did not mean to mislead anyone, Sting was there, and Chris acknowledged him, but he was not on stage.
So, next time you are in SoCal, you'll have to make a trip to the Hollywood Bowl, eh?

Hi, it's me again, I just read Sting was there! Oh...

2008-07-30T08:05:00.000-07:00

Hi, it's me again, I just read Sting was there! Oh what a night! The older he gets the better he is! (I have a secret crush on him too) I have showed so many family members your post here, they just love the setting!

Hi Marie - I know Ravinia (I'm from Chicago) but haven't been in decades, it is wonderful! So you are my soul sister, as Chris Botti ROCKS! I like the candelabra idea...

Darius T. : you bet, especially the beef tenderloin.

Hi Heather - I'll let them know :) Hello from the pooches.

Oggi - it was good music and good food, but I gotta tell you, the music blew me away, far exceeding what I was expecting. He's my FAV!

Hi Laurie - STING WAS THERE!

Hi Cynthia - 'twas.

Psychgrad - that was what enticed me to attend at first, I wanted to plan the picnic. Priorities you know.

Thanks Emiline - planning a picnic menu is fun, you have to consider not only temperature, but transport. This one worked. YAY!

Hi Sandi - I kick myself every month I miss the COTM event.

Wow - so civilized. I like the combo. I think preparing for the meal would be a lot of fun.

What a delightful way to spend an evening!

What an evening! Outside with wonderful food, in such a great setting, and listening to Chris Botti!! How did you know I adore him!!I became A PBS member just so I could get special tickets to a concert he was having here, 7th row dead center!! He is amazing!
Although we don't have the gorgeous Hollywood bowl, every August we look forward to going to "Ravinia" with family and friends for Tony Bennett, hauling in our wine, candelabra's, and food! A great evening similar to yours Lori Lynn.

This is so very nice. I miss outdoor concerts in the summer. When I lived in Italy I went a lot. But we did not have picnic tables.
