Our annual summer event which a regular reader and I both still call the Art & Wine Festival but is officially Burlingame on the Avenue was another great success.  The crowds both days were just right–enough to have energy and not too many to feel cramped.  As usual my focus was on the bands.  Mike Annuzzi Band was good and Santana tribute band Caravan was outstanding.  Emcee extraordinaire who handled the duties at the Main Stage, Jeff Tateosian, thought it was the best band we've ever brought in for the festival–and he would know.  Terrie Odabi got everyone dancing to a soul-blues mix and the local parents' band, Edgehill California, made the best of a shorter set than their usual.

The lobster roll truck appeared to do the most business although I never did find the paella booth that is usually my fav.  The Old Post Office space that will eventually be an upscale restaurant is just sitting empty, but people made ample use of the steps and the nice new lawn to watch the bands.  Here's Jeff T. introducing Caravan.
