http://www.myspace.com/cristinaespinosamusic
Getting up onstage for an open mic when I was sixteen was one of the most terrifying experiences in my whole life. I was shaking so bad that my little feet were thumping against the rungs of the bar stool they put me on to play. Back then my songs were a little more straightforward and a lot more emotionally brutal. Really sad songs. By the end of my fifteen minutes there was a woman in the back just uncontrollably sobbing. I had reduced her to a phlegmy, tear stained mess and that’s when I knew I had found what I wanted to do with my life. I’ve been performing ever since both solo and with a punk band for a few years called The Pre-Teens. We ruled then we broke up

Throw a little soul in there while youre at it. Born and raised in New Jersey Chantelle has been singing and writing music since the age of fourteen. She views the world as we know it from an interesting and memorable perspective making for some seriously revolutionary material.

- The Potholder
The Jonah Kit
The Civil War
The Potholder has been performing in San Francisco for the past 5 years, steadily building a loyal following with his fiery brand of
Folk and Country. His band includes Joe Lewis on upright bass, drummer J-Rod Herman, rockabilly lead guitar from Craig Ventresco, and backup vocals. In addition to his musical accomplishments, The Potholder is also a co-founder of the Collaborative Arts Insurgency (C.A.I) and its Thursday night residency at the 16th and Mission BART station, a wildly popular gathering of poets, musicians, onlookers and other
crazies.
http://www.myspace.com/thepotholder
This is a CD release event for the Jonah Kit's new CD. With vocals and guitar by Jonah Watchman, upright bassist David Herman, and drummer Taylor Still, playing hard-edged folk rock drawing inspiration from the likes of Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, Fred Neil, and Lou Reed. http://www.myspace.com/thejonahkit
The Civil War hails from the Bay Area cities of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. Beginning as an acoustic duo, the group grew into a quartet consisting of vocals, drums, bass, rhythm guitar and a member who alternates between lap steel, pedal steel and electric guitars. Influences include artists like Neil Young, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, Jerry Douglas and Neko Case. While working from a basis of rock, the sound blends countrified twang with vocal harmonies that range from sweet to ominous, always maintaining a certain edge. Live shows can cover a spectrum from raucous to family friendly.

- Description:
- Bradley is one lucky pup! He was at the San Francisco Animal Care and Control as a stray. Rocket Dog saw him there and put a hold on him. Two days later we got an emergency call that he was sick and tested for parvovirus, which can be deadly. We rushed to the shelter and got him out and to Pets Unlimited to be treated. He was very listless and limp and we were very worried that he wasn't going to make it. He stayed at the vet for 4 nights and was on IV fluids. The vets gave constant updates of his improving condition. When we picked him up after his stay he was quite a different dog! He went to Kay's house to be fostered until he was finished with his medication and was healthy enough to be neutered so he could get adopted. During that time he had a lot of fun playing with Kay's two dogs and got lots of attention in the neighborhood. When he was finally ready to be adopted he was brought to an adoption fair where Charla and Jono met him and fell immediately in love with him. The next day they officially adopted him and took him into their home and renamed him Riley. This picture was taken when the family joined Rocket Dog in marching in the Pride Parade. Riley had lots of fun chasing things and being adorable for the crowd!
Proceeds from our Happy Hour are going to the vet bills for this fabulous pooch. :+)))

Film: Committing Poetry in Times of War
http://www.committingpoetry.com/
A poetic glance at events that defined the struggle of a nation at war abroad, and with its people. When the bombs began to fall on Iraq, Humanities Teacher and Youth Poetry Coach, Bill Nevins, was suspended and later, fired, from his teaching job after standing up for student freedom of expression. His outspoken Rio Rancho High School Poetry Slam Team was forcibly disbanded and silenced.
Out of the outrage surrounding his dismissal arose a diverse community of artisans, poets, & musicians whose courageous words could not be silenced. They came together in a series of unifying events, which began in New Mexico, and grew to cross this great country...it was called, Poetic Justice. The Poetic Justice poets defied the fear-tactics of the times and, not
only supported Bill Nevins in his legal battle, but also, stood as a
beacon for freedom of speech. The poets, and the film itself, serve as a testament to our creative spirit and an affirmation of the power of creativity - a path toward transformation and hope during these troubling times.
Filmmaker Eric Sirotkin and performers yet to be announced will be presenting.

- Rumbaché (formerly Quimbombó) has established themselves as one of the hottest Bay Area salsa bands. Fusing salsa, timba, bomba and whatever else they could find to spice up the mood, they provide a hard-hitting style of playing. And while you can hear them interpreting the classic and contemporary Cuban and Salsa repertoire, they are not shy with their own expression. Their fresh originals make them stand-out in an otherwise cover heavy salsa scene. Under the leadership of percussionist Patricio Angulo, Rumbaché is the voice of youth for San Francisco's salsa scene, and ignites enthusiasm in dancers and musical connoisseurs alike.
With a renewed commitment to public performance in 2006, Rumbaché has led a rigorous schedule of performance throughout the Bay Area, including festivals (New Orleans By The Bay, San Jose Jazz Festival) and club dates (Café Cocomo, Elbo Room, Glas Kat, Jelly’s, La Pena Cultural Center, The Cigar Bar, Montero’s and Shattuck Down-Low Lounge).
