<\/a> A small group of us opted for a pre-show dinner at the Market Street Grill<\/a> nearby the Orpheum Theater. The service for our dinner party was prompt and courteous, the food tasty and enjoyable. I absolutely love the magic of meeting familiar and new friends and immediately connecting soul-to-soul. It felt as if we had been socializing with one another for years.<\/p>\n![\"cover3.jpg\"](\"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/cover3.jpg\" "\\"cover3.jpg\\"")
<\/a>It was an extraordinary evening for me. To attend an Afriles sponsored event in the presence of my family made for a memorable evening. I extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to my dinner and theatre companions and to the Zuna Institute<\/a> for making the political, personal for me.<\/p>\n![\"colorpurple_playbill_page_1.jpg\"](\"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/colorpurple_playbill_page_1.thumbnail.jpg\")
