Add all toppings, add extra for all

Can do! And you thought a $10 slice was expensive! Serrano’s rules! Happy New Year!

Now please enjoy this amazing Serrano’s commercial…

I clicked the “Do a Random” button on my tumblr a few times last night and it gave me nothing but pics from December 2011:

Looking good, everybody!

(My latest album “Party Dungeon” btw also owes a lot to Motorola RAZR-tinted memories from the Mission in 2011 — and from now on until forever, when you buy it, 100% of what you pay goes to Oakland fire funds — and part of what you get is a PDF zine of RAZR pics like this from 2011.)

Go Dubs!

Here’s the invite:

In light of our friends’ recent tragedy

ATA is holding a benefit for all who have been affected by the Oakland Ghost Ship fire. Please join us for a night of live performances, visual art, music and much more.

More details soon.

ATA is a timewarp into a different era of the Mission. If you’ve never been… RSVP and invite your friends!

The event is called “Re-member,” it’s this Thursday evening, it features a bunch of local bands plus the touring band as headliner, and it’s at a place in Downtown Oakland called E.M. Wolfman’s General Interest Small Bookstore. Check out this hit song:

Here’s the full invite:

NOTE: After the tragic events at Ghost Ship, this event has changed its shape. We’ll be raising money for this fund aimed at immediate support of those affected by the fire (https://www.youcaring.com/ourcommunityaffectedbytheoaklandghostshipfire-715087).

Chris “Generation Taint” Garcia has long been a Mission Mission fave, back when his act was all about the Mission and also now that he’s hit the big time. And I think his brand of personal humor might feel real good right about now.

Chris is no longer based in SF, but he’s back in town Tuesday and Wednesday for some sets at the Punch Line, and part of the proceeds are going to the Oakland Fire fund. RSVP and invite your friends and get advance tickets!

It’s this coming Friday at the Night Light, a very very Oakland little club, just a short ferry ride away. Here’s the invite:

A final 2016 bash at NL for Christmas with all the trimmings, eggnog, giveaways and great music.

All proceeds go to the Ghost Ship Fire Relief fund: https://www.youcaring.com/firevictimsofoaklandfiredec232016-706684

(Also the “San Francisco Pin & Patch Pop-Up” is this Saturday afternoon at Mission Comics.)
