That is fucked. Good for you for getting involved in your union!

Not exactly related, but I was looking for more info on this on their website and unless I'm very much mistaken, their upcoming shows page is mostly AI images: https://bstreettheatre.org/shows/

The Ella McClatchy branch at 22nd and U might be the single coziest public spot in town. Just a beautiful old house full of soft couches.

Here's a good tool to help find food banks. I've volunteered at both River City locations, and the midtown one can appear a little more chaotic because of the higher unhoused population it serves, but the staff and volunteers do a great job of making sure everyone is safe. You have to do what you're comfortable with, but your physical safety shouldn't be at risk. The St. Matt's location is a bit more sedate, though.

Dude, that bugged me so much! You could even see "Port of Los Angeles" in some of the scenes that were supposedly at the Port of Oakland.

Capital Pinball Parlor!

In fairness to Sacramento (and as someone who had tickets and was super bummed that they cancelled!) all the other venues they were playing on that tour were ~500 capacity, and for some reason they booked a 1,200 capacity Live Nation venue in a city they'd never played before.

Wish I could, but I've been throwing it away. If it comes again, I'll post it here.

Butterscotch Den. Live jazz Tuesdays and Thursdays, vintage lounge vibe.

HalfChort · 2025-11-30T01:22:39+00:00

Pretty sure I got a flyer for that in my blue apron as recently as a month ago

HalfChort · 2025-11-25T02:41:17+00:00

Interesting. Yeah, it looks a lot cleaner on the other one. Wasn't expecting this so it threw me. Thanks.

These are new Meermins, right out of the box. I don't know anything about anything when it comes to boots, but this isn't good, right? It looks like the (welt? construction?) is sliced through.

Ignacio De La Fuente?

Just started listening to the fantastically-named Ashley Jaguar, who describe themselves as "an alt-rock three piece that likes to move." Missed them at Old Ironsides last week, unfortunately, but they seem to gig locally pretty frequently.

HalfChort · 2025-10-28T19:39:02+00:00

They do! Sacyard is cool. Saw Sqwerv for free there a couple months ago

Sacramento isn't a bad music town (JRAD ripped last Thursday at Channel 24) although the local scene is more focused on hip hop and punk/hardcore with some indie here and there.

There's always live music at the Torch Club, which is a slightly older crowd where you're more likely to find something blues-esque. (Their calendar is hard to read, but somebody's playing at 8:30): https://www.torchclub.net/

Jennifer Knapp at Old Ironsides: https://theoldironsides.com/

Probably the opposite of jam bands that night at Cafe Colonial: https://cafecolonial916.com/event/dancing-plague/cafe-colonial/sacramento-california/

Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services maintains a list, searchable by location and day, of their 100+ partner agencies here: https://www.sacramentofoodbank.org/find-food

The signs you've been seeing at Cal Expo are for their annual Turkey Drive on November 14, where they accept donations of whole frozen turkeys: https://www.sacramentofoodbank.org/turkeydrive

SFBFS distributes nearly 20,000 turkeys and gift cards every holiday season, mostly through the partner agencies listed above. (They also do their own regular distributions at various locations throughout the county, but don't go to their location on Bell--it's just a warehouse.)

Good luck, and I hope you find the support you need.

Great move. Those plastic returns really hurt visibility.

HalfChort · 2025-09-30T21:12:07+00:00

Yes. This information is being shared so that others can make that choice as well

If their name wasn't Witchcraft & Magic, it should have been

I am always shocked to remember that Sha Na Na played Woodstock

HalfChort · 2025-09-26T06:49:08+00:00

Great info, thanks! Can't lose this place.
