Pho List Dinner at Henry’s Hunan in San Francisco 11/3/2006

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

OK so we’re on!

6:30 pm.

This Friday the 3rd.

Henry’s Hunan

110 Natoma between New Montgomery and 2nd, a few short blocks from the Vloggies Pre-party at The House of Shields which is being hosted by Dabble and Blip.Tv.

I couldn’t really tell Henry’s how many folks we’d be, and they requested we call back and let them know, and I let them know there’d be some uncertainty up until the last minute (and will call back again), so whomever gets their first, try to nicely rustle up 3 or 4 nearby tables of ten or so for the around 3 dozenish or so + people who’ll likely pop by…

All welcome. Bring your friends if they’re interested in the convergence of music and technology…

George Clinton and Lady Miss Kier of Dee-Lite in San Francisco

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

George Clinton and Lady Miss Kier were in town for the Exotic Erotic Ball, and though we didn’t have a chance to make it to that event, I did have the good fortune (after Steven Levy’s iPod presentation) to run over to Katland to hang while they recorded. George seemed in a really mellow space (for him) and Kier is a huge bundle of energy. Good to be around folks who have been able to engage the public consciousness.

GROOVE IS IN THE HEART!!!
