2009 San Mateo Central Park Music Series
Howdy,
In my “Events in June” Blog post I announced the first of the 2009 San Mateo Central Park Music Series Concerts, better known as Music in the Park. I attended most of the concerts last year and the first one for this year, last Thursday (and will be each Thursday from now until the beginning of August). The event was a huge success with easily a thousand attendees. I had a great time with my mom and girlfriend as we listened to funk/disco/80’s music by Disco Funk Crutch. The music and atmosphere was great for people of all ages and backgrounds. Kids rushed the dance floor as the first note was played while parents watched from the side, people socialized with their neighboring concert-goers, foodies shared the best menu items from each booth, and so on.
The food booths were great and operated by such vendors as Astaria Restaurant, Pizza-My-Heart, Pasta Primavera, The Melting Pot, Rave Burger, 3 Bees Coffee, and Pasta Pasta. My family enjoyed some food we brought from home as well as two awesome sandwiches from Astaria’s booth!
Another cool feature was instead of just having garbage cans they had “waste stations” where a volunteer from ReThink Waste would tell you how to properly throw away your trash to reduce waste. I never knew how many things were compostable and according to our nearest ReThink waste volunteer Allied Waste will be no longer our garbage provider in 2010 and a new company will be taking over that will allow us to throw paper items into our green landscape waste boxes which will be composted! (Click Here For More Recycling Information At This Event)

Why Do I Need Renter’s Insurance?
When asked this question three months ago I would have said that renters insurance was to protect my belongings in case someone robbed my apartment. While this was true, it was just a start. Along with theft, protection from fire losses were a much needed coverage as well.
Yet, being 26 years old and fresh out of graduate school I had very few possessions. Even if my apartment burned down, my computer and TV were the only things I’d want to replace. In researching it further I learned that it wasn’t so much what “I had” but rather what “I could lose.” Let me unpack that statement:
Renter’s insurance is vital to protect oneself from liability. Even though my possessions weren’t enough reason to insure my rental property, the protection against law suit was. Let me give you a scenario. If I had a party at my apartment with a group of friends and someone slipped on a puddle of water in the bathroom, hit their head and suffered minor brain damage, I could be suited for damages. A minor accident like this could easily cost well over $100,000 in medical and legal bills. There’s no way I could pay that amount and my personal assets (savings, stocks, property, etc.) would be taken and I could even be sued for my future earnings. Thus, it’s not so much what I had that was at stake but rather what I could lose in current assets and future earnings. I realized I needed protection for liability.
All this for around 12 to 20 dollars a month. Pass on three drinks at Starbucks and I could free myself up from liabilities and protect my personal property.
EXTRAS
On top of loss of personal property and liability in my home, renter’s insurance also provides amounts of coverage for property and liability outside my home. Here’s a couple examples:
