What a joy-- a reunion with old classmate (class of 1974!) Bob's wife Tricia was introduced to sushi on this night, and she loved everything! Now on their way to a 3- month vacation in Australia. All I can say is.....'someday!'
Thursday, June 20th-- Umijoo!! Geisha is pleased to announce that last Thursday's banquet/ book reading with friend and renowned conservationist/ author Casson Trenor was a smashing success! Geisha patrons, members of our partner organization FishWise and others joined Casson and illustrator Caia Koopman for a sumptuous feast and selected readings by the author from his new book, Umijoo. Google Books describes Umijoo as follows.... ... "Written by ocean conservationist Casson Trenor, illustrated by pop surrealist Caia Koopman, and crafted to resonate with all ages, Umijoo is the tale of a curious girl who, with the help of a little magic, journeys underwater to learn about the dangers facing our ocean directly from the creatures that call it home. A story of love, responsibility, and balance, Umijoo aims to educate and inspire a new generation of ocean defenders." This event was a landmark one for Geisha, bringing us together with our friends and colleagues in a unique evening of celebrating our mutual commitment to ensuring the future of the oceans. This was the only stop on Casson's tour where he was joined in his talk by the immensely talented Caia Koopman, who's partnership with Casson will, we believe, ensure that Umijoo willl be read by generations to come. Umijoo is both a joy to read and a feast for the eyes and the imagination. Congratulations to Casson and Caia, and thanks to our friends!
Last night was the second summer Twilight Concert in Capitola. Geisha was bustling, and, as often happens, conversation turned to the topic of music at the sushi bar. Alex and Gracie wanted to seal an all-encompassing conversation, which covered the lyrics of Dylan and music as a tool for social change, with a commemorative picture.
