The Fox Rox Again!

The Fox Theater in Uptown Oakland opened again last night after many many years of being dark. It was a Grand Opening Gala, I was only on the outside, but it was a blast!





















There were politicos and the flashes of many camera

















The Mayor was there




















and fire eaters






















Miss Art Deco was in attendance as well, with a sizable entourage. The renovation work just here on the outside it quite nice--the ticket booth is looking sharp.




No gala is complete without a man on stilts, playing the violin (it's in the rulebook)





















These folks were reveling in the attention I'd say:





















Congratulations to everyone who ever dreamed, fought, and or worked hard to make last night a reality! This is a great night for Oakland.
