School 180

---

A few random moments from the school's Halloween Carnival. The event is run entirely by parents. Doesn't make a whole lot of money for the school, but everyone seems to have fun. A nice, community event. A great example of how schools really are at the heart of our communities.

P.S. A shout out to Mrs. L! How many other principals would dress up as a bag of Jelly Belly's and lead the parade with the kindergartners?! Good stuff, even if she is a Cal fan. : ) Go Bruins!

Dr. Noize rocks! The kids and I went to see our good friend Dr. Noize today, and he was mega-fantastic. This bootleg video of the concert doesn't do him justice (sorry), but it does give you a sense of the kind of energy he puts into his shows.

One of my favorite things about Dr. N (yes - we're actually that close) is that he seamlessly weaves music education into his concerts. You can't help but walk away feeling more musically inclined, and he even let's the kids rock-out with his equipment at the end of the show.

We predict that Dr. Noize is going to be B-I-G, BIG! And we hope everyone spreads the word. Rock on, Dr.

Just a few fun moments from our afternoon "downtown." We're hoping to start a new, worldwide phenomenon of dancing in shoe stores. Just try on the nicest pair of shoes you can find, then bust a move! And don't forget to send us a video of your perfromance.

Speaking of performance... don't you love the catchy music in this video? Of course, you do! It's from the very cool debut album by our friend, Dr. Noize. The good Dr brings his super high-octane interactive show to the SF Bay Area next month, and you won't want to miss it! We'll be there shaking our tails! Ooh Gah Boo Gah!
