The Playboy Jazz Festival is this weekend: bittersweet....

 

Did you know that The Playboy Jazz Festival is at the Hollywood Bowl this weekend (June/11/2016-6/12/2016)?

This year is flying by, I barely had time to notice that this is the 38th Playboy Jazz Festival. Needless to say this is an internationally acclaimed event. One of the truly premier Jazz Festivals in the United States if not the World.

Generally, it is one of the hottest weekends of the year temperature wise and the regulars come loaded with suntan protection, food and alcohol. Especially since the event starts around 3pm and the sun is usually out late. This year is a bit different it is sprinkling and it is gloomy. Needless to say that can change by the afternoon.

Diane and I have been to this great event a few times over the years.

If you do not have tickets usually at the entrance, there are people selling or giving away tickets in the last minute. So if you are in town and have time, then take my word this is a fun venue to attend. If you cannot make it today, then go tomorrow.

George Lopez is the Master of Ceremonies again. He has become a fixture associated with the Playboy Jazz Festival since 2013, previously for about 30 years the Master of Ceremonies was Comedian Bill Cosby who relinquished his position. (prior to all negative information that surfaced about him)

This year should be extra special for Hugh Heffner whose Playboy Organization has been the name behind the event. In case you did not hear it: The Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills is in Escrow. It was quietly listed for $200 million dollars with one stipulation, until the owner Hugh Heffner of the Playboy Mansion relocates to the Playboy Mansion in the Sky he is entitled to stay and live in the existing mansion. (keep in mind he is up there in age)

Now with that said if you would like to read more about both of these interesting events please check out the attached links below.

Needless to say when TMZ broke the first news about the possible sale of the mansion I enjoyed reading what was said. Well check it out:

Needless to say this is what I call a “motivated seller” BTW the Playboy Bunnies do not come with the Sale:

 In case you are wondering at this price this is a "teardown" in other words "land value" only. If you are looking for some investment properties in the Beverly Hills area please reach out to me directly.

We had hoped to mke it this year but just could't do it. We went for 6 years in a row and had a blast. It's an all-day party. Love the setting and the variety of music.

Interesting story about the mansion. It's certainly in a nice part of town!!! Sounds like the sale is quite a bit less than the original asking price.

Live music and being outdoors...it doesn't get any better. 

I see where you have some wet weather out your way. It looks like it's also going to head my way.  We need the rain...don't send it to Texas. They have had enough for a while.

Hi Endre - I always enjoyed going to the Hollywood Bowl for concerts and this sounds like it would be a really good one. Sorry the weather isn't great as well.

Living in Georgia I had never heard of this jazz festival before. Sounds like a good event, except maybe for the heat! But at least it starts later in the day. Thanks for enlightening us, with links included!

Our annual jazz festival is coming up this month, not nearly as famouse as Playbouy's but well attended by fans locally and out of state.

Endre, Playboy Jazz Festival is new to me but we like Jazz a lot. I am sure there will be a huge turnout. I will have to check the list of folks who will be performing. I wonder if our cousin Mindi Abair has played at this festival. 

Give our best to Diane and have a great weekend my friend.

Endre, Heffner made out like a bandit in that sale.  He got a great price for the mansion and still gets to live in it.

Sounds likes a great event. So  Huff Hefner's mansion is up for sale, and the play bunnies do not convey. I am sure some men are sorry to hear this news :)

Hi Endre Barath, Jr. , I bet that would be quite an event. I wonder if it is on someone's bucket list.

Sybil Campbell  I agree with you $105 million some people would think it is over paying, clearly at that level it is a different mentality, Endre
