yeah, that sums it up…
I mean c’mon, are these kids Boogie Board Boogie-ing down or what?! This whole summer has been filled with great shows and great families attending them. Thanks for making the busiest summer in my eight years of doing this a memorable one!
And it’s not over yet! “What about the East Bay?” my SF Bay Area people say.
Well, I’ve got two shows for you this September, including the BIG Solano Stroll in Berkeley.
Also this month, my 5th consecutive year of performances at the 40th Annual Belmont Greek Festival, my 4th year in a row at the 25th Annual Pacific Coast Fog Fest, and a special fundraiser where Redwood City Firefighters make your lunch! It may be back to school, but summer still rules. So let’s fire it up! Make sure to visit my shows page too!
BEST OF THE BEST BY BAY AREA PARENT MAGAZINE!
Hey folks, I still don’t know how you get to be this, but I know you’ve got something to do with it, so thank you for making me one of the 2010 Best Of The Best Entertainers!
I promise you, as soon as the TV folks realize that they need to bring Andyland to the flat-screen, I will give you my best there as well!

Some might say in this fine month of August that I am oozing with machismo. Others might say I’m just plain cheesy- and they would be right!
But con queso or sin queso, Target Family Days has a latin theme on August 8th, and I thought the Andyland Band could get in on the fiesta!
So visit my shows page, and help spice up your last full month of summer by attending this or any one of my live performances- and tell them Andrès Zeta sent ya!
YELP IF YOU LOVE ANDYLAND!
Everyone needs to know how fun it is to see an Andy Z show! Enlighten your friends, family and fellow Yelpers-

Ooh, can you hear that? It’s the sound of sizzlin’ summery goodness! (just use your imagination, it IS Andyland after all…)
We’ve already had record crowds at the Menlo Park Library and Santa Clara Library’s Family Concerts
and we’re looking for more of the same. The more the merrier I always say!
This month’s musical adventures include return trips to Foster City’s BIG 4th of July celebration and the Campbell Summer Concert series,
Radio Disney’s Camp Blackhawk in Danville, my debut at the Carmel Library, and more cool shows at libraries and Western Athletic Clubs.
Visit my Shows page for all shows and details
Oh, and Cecil The Dragon wanted to say: “Happy Independence Day! Go to the Games & Activities page and play my NEW GAME!”
WOULD- YOU- LIKE- TO- PLAY- A- GAME?
(said in robotic voice) Man, I can’t get through one newsletter without dating myself! Well, most of the kids don’t know about
“War Games”, but this classic concentration matching game is just for them! And it stars fan favorite, Cecil The Dragon (left),
along with other Andyland friends. Check it out! It’s the first one, but there are more to come!

No, it’s NOT a mirage. It’s the long-awaited Official Map of Andyland! Can’t get from Bay Of Balloons to Boogie Board Beach without it!
Order yours today from my Zazzle store!
You and the kids can also use this map to find out where your “fave” Andyland characters reside- from Andy Z to Zoie, they’re all here. And if you need help placing the name with the face, not to worry. We have a key for that! Download it free from the “Andyland Tour” page at andyz.com.
Oh but the summer fun has just begun! My summer schedule includes performances at Pottery Barn Kids in Sacramento, Roseville and Santa Clara (CA), first-timers at Carmel and Menlo Park libraries, and shows at various Western Athletic Club locations. Get the complete schedule on my “All 2010 Shows” page. It’s all the rage, at any age!

Merry month of May to all! Say, did you know May 4th is Teacher Appreciation Day and that May 3rd through the 7th is Teacher Appreciation Week? Well it is, which is why I’m sharing this photo taken at last year’s Los Altos Art & Wine Fest (CA) of me and my 6th grade teacher, Ms. Ward.
She left a lasting positive impression on me at an early age, like so many teachers do, by seeing the potential within me and cultivating it. Teachers are given this all-important responsibility, although they most often are not paid accordingly.
So give a teacher a hug today, and give them praise, because it’s our children they help to raise! And of course, let’s show Mom how much we love her everyday. Our Andyland Band show honors her this Saturday! See all May shows and details on the shows page.
YELP IF YOU LOVE ANDYLAND!

Magical March to ya! This action shot (right) was taken at Our Lady Of Angels “Ireland By The Bay” Fun Fair, after I got decked by the pastor for interrupting Sunday mass.
Ok I’m TOTALLY kidding. As you can tell, I’m not the only one on my back. It was part of the show. The truth is, our wireless mics were sharing the same frequency, and I took over mass-
until he came outside and politely asked me to cease and desist. I secretly think it was leprechauns…
Come cause some mischief of your own at this month’s shows, two new venues dontcha know!
BAY AREA PARENT LIKES IT!
Look for the write-up of my new DVD on page 15 in the March issue of Bay Area Parent Magazine (Peninsula, San Francisco, Marin Edition), or view it here. Don’t get thrown off my the incorrect title though. For the record, the name of the DVD is “Sing & Dance With Andy Z”, not “Intro To Andyland”.
A BIT OF “ZAZZLE” DAZZLE
Andyland shwag is coming to Zazzle.com very soon, in the form of mugs, hats and so much more- so sayeth my web designer/flash guru Baine “there are no straight lines in nature, except crystals and The Borg” Secuya, and me (Trekkie geeks unite!)
PATTY O’s POETRY CORNER
“Me thinks that ye shall never see, a better deal from Andy Z!”
Well, not much of a poem, but it’s to the point-
you’ll save some serious coin at my shows when you bring Andyland home. All CD’s, DVD’s $10 each! Buy a custom Tee for $15, get a CD for $5- a $20 bill gets you both! Well, that’s about all I have to say except:
HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY AND AN IRISH SPRING TO YOU ALL (mmm, scented…)
