Calling all Posies fans (Hey, that’s me!)! !!! Mr. Jon Auer is having another one of his fantastic shows at The Volterra Drawing Room on Thursday, July 19.

{Dear} $23 gets you in the door, or if you’re feeling fancy pants, you can pay $100 for the VIP experience: a meet and greet with Jon at 7pm, hosted wine and light apps by Volterra (yum!) and—Jon will play 1 requested song for each VIP! Hooray! There are a limited number of seats (only 65), so buy your tix before this sells out. Because it will.

{Jon Auer | Volterra Drawing Room | $23 GA, $100 VIP | All Ages | Cash bar for 21+ | Doors, 7pm (VIP)/7:30pm – Showtime, 8pm}

Dear lovers of The Posies and Jon Auer's brilliant solo tunes - I have the perfect holiday gift idea for you! On Wednesday, December 21, Mr. Auer will be singing and playing an acoustic show at Volterra in their cozy, private Drawing Room. This intimate concert only has 60 tickets available, and there are two levels of Auer-esque bliss: 

$30 gets you a seat
$100 gets you reserved seating, + a meet-and-greet with Jon before the show, with light appetizers & wine courtesy of Volterra! A portion of these VIP tickets will benefit SIFF too - AWESOME.

(I know which pair of tickets I'd like to recieve!!) 

It's no secret that I'm a huge Posies fan - and I've sung my heart out to many a Jon solo show over the years, because THIS GUY IS THE BOMB. Plus, DJ Marco Collins is going to spin some tunes for guests before Jon takes the stage!!! And Volterra is one of my favorite places to eat and drink at. I can't think of a better way to ring in the holidays, can you? 

Holiday Acoustic Show with Jon Auer
Volterra Drawing Room
DJ Set by Marco Collins
Wednesday, 12/21 @7:30pm
GA: $30, VIP: $100 | Tix available at brownpapertickets.com
All ages | Cash bar w/ID

Note: SIFF has announced that they SOLD OUT of the initial tix in a few hours, but they have released a small number of additional seats. VIP tickets to the dinner, however, are still available. 

I, along with several friends, are VERY excited about the release of spy-thriller Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - and now SIFF has given us one more reason to get excited: GARY FREAKING OLDMAN IS COMING TO SEATTLE!!! 

On Sunday, 12/11, Mr. Oldman will take the stage for a Q&A session after the film. And if that weren't enough - there's a special bonus for people who are feelin' fancypants (and/or rabid Oldman fans. *hand up!*). For a mere $200, you (or me, if anyone wants to buy me a ticket! HINT HINT) can dine with Gary in Volterra's Drawing Room on a sumptious feast prepared by their award-winning Chef, Don Curtiss. That ticket also gets you the VIP treatment, with reserved seating for the film and Q&A. 

An Evening with Gary Oldman
Sunday, December 11 @5:30pm
SIFF Cinema at the Uptown
Tickets: $25 each, $20 for SIFF Members
