HAPPY DAY OF GIVING
THANKS!

I hope each and every one of you is feeling as blessed as I am during this holiday season.  There is something so warm and cozy about loving and being loved during the holidaze, so make that investment to spread love as part of your gift to those around you.  No matter how you spend your holidaze be it with family (blood or chosen) or friends (near or far) make this holiday season WERK for you and go into your new year with a sense of calm, resolve and hope.

AND a big thanks to everyone who came out to the fiveTEN Film Fest last week!  We had over 300 peeps join us to screen 19 films and we had a blast!  We thank you for your continued support of all our diverse spread of events that we produce.  Wait 'til you see what we got in store for you in 2013! 

With that being said we got it going on for you this weekend in the YaY! Area.  Every single damn day the YaY! is giving you a chance to work off that turkey on the dancefloor.

On Wednesday as your pre-holiday workout check out KSOL at Leige in Oakland or Ana Tijoux at La Pena in Berkeley.  On Thursday get wavvy at Ultrawave at SomaR
in Oakland or head into the city for a little bit of lovin' at XO at the Cellar.  Then on Friday join all of Oakland for the much anticipated GRAND OPENING of the BRIDGE at the Den in the heart of uptown.  Finally on Saturday end your weekend right at the 5 year anniversary of the People at the New Parish.

 

No matter where you go and what you do this weekend have fun and be safe.  We will see you at any or all these events.  And remember have a great holiday weekend!

 

XOXO

Miz Chris

Grammy nominated Chilean Rapper :::::ANA TIJOUX::::: 
returns for the first time to La Peņa since her historic debut  
there in 2010. Celebrated with some of her new friends she's met from the Bay, including ::RAW-G:: DJ Juan Data :: DJ Julicio and more! 
 
One of the fiercest MC's ::::::Ana Tijoux::::: returns
From a hastily thrown together first tour to the biggest stages across North America including Lollapalooza, Outsidelands, Central Park Summerstage, and Bumpershoot. Her fiery first single "1977" became a instant smash and earned her a Grammy nomination, now she's back with her follow up record "La Bala" which was also nominated, putting her against Don Omar and Daddy Yankee as one of the top Urban artists.
Tijoux is one of Latin America's brightest stars, but she'll never forget where she started -- in the streets of Santiago. And she won't forget her home in the Bay Area, La Peņa.
