The Concord Pavilion, near San Francisco (actually, it's now called the "Chronicle Pavilion at Concord") is running a contest to win a VIP package for Joni's 5/13 concert. The VIP package includes a pair of VIP Box Seat tickets to the show, a pair of hospitality passes to the Pavilion's Marquee Club and a VIP Parking Pass. A winner will be chosen at random from all entries received and notified the week prior to the show.

I hope everybody's managed to see (or tape) "An All Star Tribute to Joni Mitchell" by now, because as far as I know it isn't going to be rebroadcast again (someone please let me know if I'm wrong about this). I know a lot of people were hoping there would be a CD or video of the show, but I'm afraid it's also been reported that there will not be one available for purchase.

There's also been an increase in e-mail with questions about Joni's paintings since the Tribute show, so here's a recap for you folks: Joni's paintings are seldom available for purchase, and reprints have been difficult to come by as well. This situation is about to improve, though—The Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon, SK will be offering prints of her work in a color catalogue that will be released to coincide with the opening of the VOICES exhibit at the Mendel on June 30.
