I love people watching!

Since I have kids, I'm always on the lookout for fun, easy to get to, inexpensive, and safe venues where I can hang out with my friends and my son can hang out with his.  I have tried several of the music in the park type venues, but many of them have no escape strategy in place which means you can not flee if the music is bad.  Not so with Redwood City's "Music on the Square". Around the square, there are restaurants and coffee houses galore. If the band insists on doing ABBA covers, you can be the hero and do the coffee run for the group. There is also a nice, large fountain that you can sit next to or on and pretend that you're at a secluded waterfall swimming hole away from yet another classic rock tribute band. If all else fails, they sell beer and wine and who knows after a couple of drinks you too might be waving your glass around and shouting out Freebird!

Really, all sarcasm aside, some of the music has been pretty good. I love the setting; enjoy the crowd, crave the comfortable weather; and really dig the range of things to do before, during and after the event.

I went this past Friday 06/15/2007 and it was great!!! The atmosphere was very lively and everyone seem to be enjoying their time there. People were dancing, talking to their friends, and just enjoying the music on a warm, nice June night.  I would have given it 5 stars, but it was just a bit crowded and most of the folks were on the older side, which wasn't bad, I'm just more into a  younger scene. Anyone, it was a great even! and best of all it's free!

A free community event from 6pm-8pm on  Friday's from June 1st until Sep 28th. Bands play music in the new courthouse area and there are several tables with umbrellas and chairs for the first arrivals. Be warned, people start taking p positions by 5pm. Its a great place to meet with friends and enjoy live music while enjoying food and alcohol from home or restaurants/stores. There are hundreds of people there relaxing, dancing and having a great time!
