I went to the Bayview Eagles performance space, adjacent to the bar for a fabulous Cajun/Zydeco…read moreperformance by a new friend of mine, Andrew Carriere and his group of extremely talented musicians. He comes from a storied Louisiana family of Cajun and Zydeco musicians. He is versatile, sings, plays the triangle, the harmonica and the washboard. and in my little experience of watching him play with various groups, he lets everyone shine. His band's music was made for dancing and I have two left or right feet. The regular fans know what they are coming for - to dance. One of these days I'll earn without upsetting a partner. But then someone has to pay the price for teaching a newbie. A great place to visit for affordable beer and some wine. If Andre performs there, I'll be prepped to dance :)

But decades later, I finally had the opportunity to step into the inner sanctum of that which is the Richmond Ramblers Motorcycle Club House. Friends of ours from out of town were passing through and attending a memorial for motorcycle racer Dick Mann. We had not seen each other in several years so it was nice to sit and visit with them. I don't know much about the sport, but my husband's friend is an avid rider, racer and friend of Mr. Mann. Part of the memorial included a display of Mann's life as a racer. It was interesting to see photos and all the motorcycles that were brought in for the day, ones he built or was instrumental in the design of the bike. I was a little hesitant to post too many photos. Kind of like sharing photos of someone's home, I feel that clubhouses are on the private side, but I'm sharing a little peek of what I saw.

They took the time to understand our family and what kind of dog would be the right fit, and even went out of their way to introduce us to a dog they thought could be a good match. They answered all of our questions and gave us lots of intel on his personality and behaviors (including the ones that may require some support). They absolutely nailed it. Our new family member has brought so much love and joy into our home that I genuinely can't imagine our lives without him. Everyone at Milo was incredibly helpful, accommodating, knowledgeable, and caring. It's obvious how deeply they love the animals in their care and how committed they are to finding them the right homes. We are so grateful to Milo Foundation and couldn't recommend them more highly!

You got to know somebody to get into this fantastic Italian Social Club. Once you have the…read moreinvitation, you are set for a fantistic dinner and social experience. Just entering the building you know your in for a good time. There are two bars and one is located in their old time dance floor auditorium. The drinks are reasonably priced and get you primed for dinner. They ring the dinner bell at 7:00. The dinning hall is loud and festive. You sit at round tables of 8 people. Do not worry if you do not know anybody because by the end of the meal you will all be best friends. The Galileo Club serves dinner family style. It starts out with a plate of anti-pasta, rolls, then salad, pasta, an entree and finally dessert with a shot of brandy. At the time of this writing the price was only 30 dollars. Wow!!! Did I mention wine was included and the pasta plates are refilled upon request. The Galileo Club is a fun place to socialize and have a great meal.

Review is for volunteering experience:…read more This year, my work team decided to volunteer at the Richmond Bay Area Rescue Mission (BARM). I did not know much about BARM, other than they do offer meals to the needy and are a Christian-faith organization. We had no idea what we'll be helping with on the day of arrival. Our entire group of 12 or so did have to pass a COVID Antigen test before entering. Our event turned out to be kitchen duties, like you read about in Kitchen Confidential or from cooking reality shows. Everyone was super friendly, but you feel the adrenalin of working hard in a commercial kitchen. You work as a team and you work safely, since you got hot surfaces, sharp objects, boiling liquids and occasionally wet floor everywhere. My main task was dishwasher, which brings back memories of my first job. Scrape, Rinse, Sanitize and dry! Those high-powered Hobart washing machines make cleanup a snap. The feel of the nozzle is great as it blasts away all food scraps. Wish I had these at home! My next task was helping cutting up some 30-50 pounds of chicken breast for a marinade. The chef was planning to make some coconut-curry soup so he occasionally dumped Five-Spice and Chili Sauce as we cut. Those Dexter Chef Knifes were super sharp and the blade was something like 10" to 12" long, like a short sword. I thought my home 6" Henckels Chef Knife was sharp but those Dexter knives were on a different level. At the end, I can show my blisters proudly. My other colleagues served food to customers, cooked, diced vegetables, cracked dozens of eggs, unloaded a delivery truck, and moved things to the freezers. They got some high-quality produce here from Costco, Sprouts, and Trader Joes, and some of it organic! Highly recommend considering BARM if you're interested in volunteering some time. Being in a commercial kitchen was also fun since you experience what its like to be part of the machine that cranks out food. Everyone had a role to play to make it possible to crank out 50-100 meals per shift.

We walked passed and heard DJ music and decided to check it out. I inquired with the folks monitoring the check-in desk and asked if we could peek in the door for 5 seconds to check out the crowd. It was around 11:30pm and the music was retro (80's style). The woman "screamed" NO! I thought "geez lady" relax.... Entry fee was $20. So we paid and checked it out. It was very clear why now she did not want us to preview the event---as there were only 2 dozen folks (including the DJ and bartender). The majority of the crowd was female. We stayed for 1 drink and no more people showed or left. We deserted the event about midnight. Overall, RUDE staff, not well attended and a waste of time and money. Definitely PASS on these events by this promoter. YELP the fact that you allow this review to be filtered shows that you are no more than a paid site!

We're sitting in the car in the parking lot, and I swear to you, everyone walking around, parking, leaving...had to have gone to high school with our grandparents!!! I believe the flyer we saw had read 30's and up crowd. WOW, THIS CROWD WAS DEFINITELY MATURE. Worse yet, these old guys were in button downed polyester shirts with chest hair flowing out!!! Yes, these guys just time-warped back into the 70's!!! *THE.FKNG.HORROR.OF.IT!* *MY.EYES.MY.EYES.ARE.FKNG.BURNING!* Needless to say, we sat in the parking lot for no more than two minutes and high-tailed it outta there!!!!

The economy is bad, people are losing their jobs and unemployment rates are rising! Are we heading in a recession? Who knows. But what I do know is I got a referral to Rubicon in Berkeley from EDD (Employment Development Department), as I persisted to find someone/program to help me. Here at Rubicon they offer a WIA (Workforrce Investment Act) funded program. They have 3 steps to complete to be assigned to a vocational counselor. These 3 steps are offered at certain times on Tues and Thursday (Orientation at 10, Interviewing/Job search at 11, and Resume step at 1pm). Once you completed these steps- workshops that you get signed off that you attended, you make an appointment with a one of their vocational counselor. I just finished my steps in these past 2 weeks and already made an appointment with a vocational counselor to enroll. Jocelyn who covered for Melba, was very helpful, courteous during the intake. Although it takes about 8 weeks to see if I am eligible, I can keep in contact with her. Once I am determined to be eligible and if I haven't found a job yet (or I do find a job) I have a year to use their services, which includes training...basically there are certain Adult schools, other programs, and on the job training that will pay. So, I am looking forward to updating my computer skills in Excel and Powerpoint,etc. Cross your fingers I find a job! Thank you Rubicon for your help! check out www.eastbayworks.com or www.rubiconworksprograms.org oh yeah- there are several different Rubicons, this one in Berkeley serves only Alameda county residents, or people who had jobs in Alameda but lost it.....so check out different the Rubicon in your county
