I hope everyone had a great weekend! I always love giving thanks for all the abundance that is in my life. I hope your every day is filled with that overwhelming feeling of peace, joy and happiness. We are not officially racing into the holiday season. I can already feel the frenzy starting around me. Everywhere I go there are decorations upon decorations it is enough to blind you when you walk into your local store. Don't worry though because we have an app for that.... no not really but we do have some awesome events happening this weekend in the Bay to distract you from the holiday madness!
On Wednesday in Oakland start at the Naked Ladies Art Show Reception and end at the Underground Soul Sessions, a truly inspired night of music and dance. OR if you are in SF head over to Stay Gold. On Thursday jam over to Toad Hall for Frolic! a cool ladies night in the Castro. THEN on Friday start at Show and Tell: Queer Punks in Conversation and end at Fedorable at El Rio. Finally on Saturday get some Lower Bottoms Soul + Funk at Revolution Cafe. In two and half weeks, in Oakland, Valerie Troutt's Moon Candy will be performing LIVE for A Soulful Holiday. All the details are below in the Upcoming Events section. This is a show you really don't want to miss. They have pre-sale tix available now at http://asoulfulholiday.eventbrite.comCheck out this really amazing artwork by Valerie Brown-Troutt ( www.valeriebrowntroutt) specifically for A Soulful Holiday. 
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 weekend!
XOXO
