If you have any plans to do some traveling, I am associated with a new hotel that recently opened in Sonoma, the Cambria Hotel Sonoma Wine Country in Rohnert Park. It would be a great place to get away to during the holidays or any other time for that matter.

Save our Stages Music Festival:

This was a 3-day event broadcast online in October to help support live music. You can still watch the YouTube concerts on their website, 34 bands including Jason Mraz at Belly Up, Dave Matthews at Jefferson Theater, Reba McEntire at Ryman Auditorium, Foo Fighters at Troubadour, The Roots at Apollo Theater and Miley Cyrus at Whiskey a Go-Go.
