Thanks to everyone who came to the show. It was nice to see the audience enjoying the music so much. And, it was impressive to see people who knew the show had sold out coming in hopes reserved seats would open up. We're happy for those of you who could get in.
The reaction to last night and December's shows indicate that Kan Zaman needs to move to larger venues. We have some in mind. Current thoughts look towards September and December, and we're thinking Cal State Fullerton and the Duarte Performing Arts Center. Sufficient seats, state of the art sound, ample parking and nice facilities.
