Welcome! This is our first blog, if you’re randomly following us and you’re wondering who we are and what we’re doing here, (or what you’re doing here) please, allow us to introduce ourselves.
I am Ronnie, you know, as in “Ronnie’s Awesome List“. Yeah, you found me – this is the new home for the “Awesome List” now. I have been tracking events in the Bay Area for a long time because I LOVE being out with my big little girl and I cannot wait to tell you about it. I still refuse to get a cell phone and prefer to ride my bike with a camera permanently attached to the open eye. Pre-child I was quite tech savvy, now, most people think I am in the dark ages. But I have a blog, so I’m back in the 21st century.
I am Marjorie. I’ve got a teen boy and elementary school aged daughter. I grew up in Marin and get sad when my kids take this beauty around us for granted (mostly my son). I am constantly looking for ways to get my son off the couch and away from playing video games (that’s what teen boys, do). If you don’t know by now, you probably will know some day that pre-teens and teens are a discriminating crowd and it can be challenging to find things they actually want to do. So, my goal is to search out events and outings that they’ll appreciate, and you might just be shocked when they actually say “Thanks for a fun day!” (but don’t hold your breath).
To know us is to love us so you’ll be back, we hope, cause we already miss you. Sign up (NOW) to receive our postings and we will find you – FREE! See that link on the right that says “Subscription” – enter your email and never miss another event. If you have an event or fundraiser you want to include in our listing, don’t be shy, we are really nice and like people and dogs (and presents). Keep up to date on the fabulous events happening in Marin County and the whole Bay Area actually. Thank you for lending us your eyeballs, they’re lovely, you may have them back now.
Hi Ronnie – Very cool and upbeat. Great effort. Hope to pass the word!
Congrats on the blog – love Ronnie’s list!

thanks!

Puppets and Players Little Theatre presents “Puff the Magic Dragon”
The Puppets & Players Little Theatre revives traditional puppet theatre, an art form that has entertained and educated young and old for centuries.
In this adaptation of “Puff the Magic Dragon”, a fantasy adventure comes to life! Little Jackie Paper and Puff return to the magical land of Honalee and discover that the mystical “Magic Box” belonging to King Cobwebs has been stolen. Jackie and Puff agree to help the king and his granddaughter find the missing box and return it to the palace. During their quest, our heroes fight a duel onboard a pirate ship with Captain Bilgewater and his sidekick Grog, face a fearful storm at sea, and travel to the bottom of the ocean, where they meet a friendly octopus named Rastapus, who helps Jackie discover that the “Magic Box” contains “the most powerful magic of all”, the magic of his own.
