If you're in the Northern California #BayArea, one of the studios I attend is having a First Anniversary party. Members (like myself and my partner will be selling #ceramics), and I heard something about free onigiri.
#Mudworks Studio in #ElCerrito at 2 PM to 5 PM 5/10.

Future of #EastBay #RecordStore #DownHomeMusic in question as iconic local shop faces deadline from late founder's family. By tomorrow October 11th #LesBlank's son must commit to purchase the property that sits on border between #Richmond & #ElCerrito for millions or face prospect of a new landlord, likely far less friendly to #folkmusic and #indie #filmmakers.
