- Brian K - Jazz in the Garden @ The Deane HouseThe Deane House, Calgary, AB
UPDATE: I have some good news and bad news... The bad news is that the person at The Deane House who confirmed our reservation for next Wednesday, September 17 didn't realize that their patio is actually closed that evening, as well as the following Wednesday, for private outdoor events. DOH! Their final Jazz in the Garden event of the year is in two weeks, Wednesday, October 1st. The good news is that they have confirmed our table of 12 for then. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause those confirmed on September 17th. :-/ If you are no longer able to join us on October 1st, kindly update your RSVP.
Those who can still attend, note that the sun will set sooner and the weather will likely be a tad chillier, so be sure to dress accordingly. Outdoor heaters are provided, as well as canopies if the forecast is for light rain. :-)
To reiterate, our table is reserved beginning at 4:30p, but feel free to arrive between 4:30p and 6:00p, when the jazz starts.
