We’re so happy to annouce that the AS/ISM “Chowdown” Mini-Reunions are BAAAACK!

AS a reminder, CHOWDOWNS are local gatherings for AS and ISM alums. Often we meet for a meal, sometimes for a drink or two.

Chowdowns started in the San Francisco Bay Area and have been happening all over the world.

Here’s the next one:

AS/ISM CHOWDOWN APRIL 8, 2023

Bay Area alums come enjoy a rocking live event on April 8 in Redwood City.

Linda Jhong Palermo ’83 will be performing with not just one, but two incredible cover bands. Many of you know that Linda plays keyboards with an all-girl Kinks cover band called THE MINKS.

On April 8 at Club Fox in Redwod City Linda will also play with REBEL REBEL, which is – what else – a David Bowie cover band!

Date and Time: Saturday April 8 at 8PM
