Went to see an Indian concert for my Intro to (classical) Northern Indian Music class at the Paramount theater in Oakland. Fortunately I had a dormate/classmate who was also going and another classmate who had a car. I was slightly disappointed that since this concert was part of the SF Jazz Festival, much of the music had more upbeat jazz or pop tunes and I'm guessing because of the roar of applause or approval, some songs were popular film songs she's sung before.
The highlight of the night I think for me was seeing a dad making a tabla drum out of his kid's head during a really nice tabla solo piece.
Afterwards we just drove a little bit around Oakland for a late night diner/place to eat, but nothing was open at 11 (besides the fast food joints) so we ended up just going home straight.
