When: Sunday, October 7th, 2007 12pm till sunset Where: Vasona Lake County Park 333 Blossom Hill Road Los Gatos, CA 95032 This October marks South Bay Folks' fifteenth anniversary of making music, and we're celebrating! Bring your acoustic instruments, voices, picnic baskets, friends, and family. Find us at the lake, between the boat dock and the bridge, where there is plenty of shade, a great view of Vasona Lake, and a big barbecue pit. We'll get the fire started if you want to bring something to grill. Details, maps, and driving directions at: http://SouthBayFolks.org/picnic-2007-fall/ **************************************************** * Photos for the "Home of South Bay Folks" display * **************************************************** The "Home of South Bay Folks" display at Mission City Coffee has begun to take shape with an initial dozen or so photos of South Bay Folkies already mounted, and it looks great! If you have not yet submitted your photo, there is still time to include you. Whether you are a regular or casual performer at the SBF open mike, Mission City Coffee owner, Jae, is inviting you to submit a framed photo for permanent display. The suggested size is 16"x20". Other sizes acceptable, but we would recommend nothing smaller than 11"x17". These are being mounted fairly high on the wall and need to be of a good size that is easily viewable from the floor. Frames should be simple, unadorned, and black. ***************************** * 15th Anniversary T-Shirts * ***************************** South Bay Folkies, Katherine Yates and Daphna Rahmil, think the 15 year milestone deserves a commemorative t-shirt. The design is white on black and features the wonderful logo that John Eddy created when SBF first formed. Katherine will take orders for the t-shirts at the SBF open mikes on September 20th and September 27th. They should be available for pickup at the open mike on Thursday, October 4th and at the 15th Anniversary Picnic Jam on Sunday, October 7th. Price will be exactly what it costs to have them made. *************************************** * South Bay Folks' Acoustic Open Mike * *************************************** 7pm-10pm Every Thursday (sign up by 6:45pm) Held at: Mission City Coffee Roasting Co. 2221 The Alameda, Santa Clara, CA 95050 (just east of Santa Clara University) tel: 408-261-2221 Sign up info and performance guidelines, map and directions at http://www.SouthBayFolks.org/openmike.html Mission City Coffee offers a wide variety of salads, sandwiches, pizzas and other good food, excellent coffee, late hours, plenty of room to accommodate a South Bay Folks crowd, and the owner, Jae, is very music-friendly.
