Hello all you cool cats and kittens!

The Raytones had a great show at the colossal, stupendous, fantastic and all around COOL BOOKSTOCK event at the Redwood City Public Library this past Saturday, August 29. It was three hours of peace, music, trains and books. . man! Thanks so much for making the show so GREAT!

We have two more shows coming up too!

We'll be playing at Our Lady Star of the Sea's "SOS" day in beautiful Santa Cruz California on Sunday, September 13 at 1:00 PM! It's free admission! There will be food, games and US! The Raytones, baby! And, being that it's in Santa Cruz, you can head on over to the beach, baby (yeah!) after the show!

We'll also be playing at the Redwood City Public Library Main Branch again on Wednesday, October 28 at 7:00 PM. It will be a Halloween show!!! Come by in costume!

Hope to see you there!

Menlo Park and San Jose Public Libraries RULE!

Hello all you cool cats and kittens!

If you are ever in the neighborhood for a couple of GREAT public libraries, may I recommend the totally cool San Jose, Berryessa Branch and BOTH of the Menlo Park branches!

And, if you ever want to have a beautiful stroll through a quaint little downtown neighborhood, you've got to go to downtown Menlo Park!

The Raytones played a whole gaggle of shows for these two libraries and the downtown block parties. And how fun they were! a big fluffy Ray the Rhino thanks goes out to all our fans, big and little, that made these shows so wonderful! We hope to see you at our upcoming shows, especially BOOKSTOCK! August 29, 1:00 - 4:00 at the Redwood City Public Library! Free admission!

Thanks!

The Menlo Park Block Party Show!

Hello all you cool cats and kittens!

WOW! Did we have a couple of COOL shows!

The city of Menlo Park, California is great! This last Wednesday, June 24, The Raytones had two shows right on beautiful Santa Cruz Ave. in Menlo Park. It was the best! The crowd, the location, the food, the weather.

Thanks to all of you kids, moms, dads, grandpas, grandmas, uncles and aunts for coming to the show. The 8:00 PM show (past some of our listeners' bed times) was incredible! What an audience. Next time I'll try to bring TWO beach balls instead of one!

And remember! We have more shows coming up, including another two at the Menlo Park Block Party again on August 12, 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM! FREE ADMISSION!

And there will be these shows too!
