SoCal Gathering - Casemates on the Green/Pasadena Pops 2024!
0SoCal folk! The list is out for this year’s Pasadena Pops concerts. I hope we continue the tradition!
June 29 - Harlem Nights
July 13 - ABBA Tribute
July 27 - Tony Bennett & Frank Sinatra songbook
August 10 - Singer-Songwriters
August 24 - California Dreamin’
September 7 - Oscar meets Tony
Based on the concert options I’d have a strong first choice of June 29 and a second choice probably of the California Dreamin’ show.
Who’s in?

Any additional programmatic details?
A few are easy, but the others less so.
Never having gone it’s still intrigues me a lot. And now that I’m not working I have a lot of opportunity to do things I didn’t do anymore. Or didn’t do before sorry voice to text. Dates have no meaning to me right now. The topics that that sound the most interesting are actually California Dreaming, I don’t know what Oscar means Tony means unless it’s Tony award-winning Oscar stuff but that’s not the spelling and I don’t know what the singer songwriters one is.

@klezman thanks
I’ll stick with California Dreamin being my first choice
@Cerridwyn There’s also a good chance we will be out of town that weekend, so another reason I’ll vote for a different date.
Either way, it would be geart to meet you!
@klezman no worries. Just once a date is chosen I’m one of those people will have to know all the little details about how the thing works. Cuz I’ve actually never gone down there for anything like this.
@Cerridwyn simple enough! And tickets for many shows get discounted on Goldstar a few weeks before the show, too.
@klezman I can’t be there (obviously), but I just wanted to add that I’ve heard Catherine Russell in a Jazz Concert (with Bennie Wallace’s group) and she’s really outstanding.
We will be getting season tickets, so any concert works for us.
The 2 that worked best for us are 7/27 and 9/7. I especially like the September date because the sun goes down earlier.
Hi! New to the site. How are folks in the LA are finding each other to split a shipment? I’m not finding a super clear answer anywhere. Sorry for hijacking an old thread
@chc1983 where in L.A. are you?
@losthighwayz North Hollywood & Brentwood (we’re a couple that hasn’t moved in together yet)
@chc1983 @losthighwayz
a) not hijacking an old thread. This is current for organising our annual trip to the Pasadena Pops!
b) I’m fairly close - near Beverlywood
c) Just post in one of the offer threads that you’re looking for a SoCal split and people may respond.
@LAClarkBar If you go to the Pops concert, you may be able to exchange there. No date set yet, so far as I know.
@LAClarkBar
Normally, you can post in the offer that you want X amount of bottles. Then you can use the “Whisper” feature (next to the Reply) to arrange pickup & payment.
But this type of thread is fine too, especially since you will be meeting up there.
Here’s the swap thread:
CasematesSoCal Swap thread
With the regrettable cancelation by @i8dacat, I thought I would give this thread a bump.
@davirom yes, we need to pick a date!
It’s time to make plans since the first concert is this month. See the top of the thread for dates and program, or see here
@davirom yes, thank you for the reminder! Who’s in?
@davirom 7/27 and 9/7 work well for us, all others are a big maybe.
What ever works best for the group.
07/27 will work not sure about the other dates.
I think I’ll now be out of town July 27th.
So our updated availability for this is
7/13 - a tribute to abba
8/24 - California dreaming
9/7 - Oscar meets Tony
I can’t do Aug 24, so maybe let’s shoot for July 13? I’m not huge into Abba, but whatever
Who all can make that vs Sept 7?
Season opener. Abba up next.
@davirom
Damn love this, pretty sure we can only do the 27th. If you’re going maybe we can meet you?
@ScottW58 FYI, and for anyone else who is thinking about July 13, they announced that they expect a sellout, so get your tickets!
We will be there, would love to see you. I think @CorTot said that they can make it then too. And of course any other CM’ers.
@davirom I now may be out of town for that one. Holding out hope for the September date for us.
@CorTot We will be at that one too.
@CorTot @davirom @ScottW58 I can probably do the July 27 date and the September one. No reason to keep it to one evening, right?
Abba tribute band tonight. Who is planning to come on the 27th?
@davirom Looks like the beginning of a fun evening.
Well I’m now out on the 27th got invited to a golf tournament up in Ventura, looks like I’m out this year
@ScottW58 We will miss you. Maybe you can make it to one of the other concerts.
We’re thinking about coming with the kids next week
@klezman Great! I hope some more folks can join us
Last concert of the season. Not for the faint of heart.
@davirom yeah, sad to not get out to one this year but not sad to be in the a/c right now.
