WHAT: Freqo de Mayo WHEN: Friday, May 11, 2007, 10pm doors WHERE: Mighty | 119 Utah St, San Francisco CA | 415.626.7001 WHO: Bassnectar (AKA DJ Lorin – www.bassnectar.net), Soulsalaam (www.soulsalaam.com), El Papachango (el Circo) Motion Potion (www.myspace.com/motionpotion) Vanka (Misturada)Jayo & Kevin (Seismic), Evinrude (Space Cowboys), Mycho Cocoa, Victor Vega, Tim Dietz (the Fringe) VIDEO: Kaia Jacobi LIVE PAINTING: Fringe Arts Collective: Nicole Andris, Micah Circe, Trav Kohler FIRE PERFORMANCE: Krissi, Noelski and Aileen GENERAL INFO: www.sunsetpromotions.net TICKETS: $20 advance available at www.sunsettickets.com or 415-256-8499 PRESS INFO: Scott Simoneaux | scott@infectiouspublicity.com | 323.969.04041 DETAILS: Sunset Promotions and the Fringe, the team that has brought you such epic parties as “Freaksgiving” and the “Icebreakers Ball” team up again for their second annual twisted take on the annual Mexican holiday – it’s “FREQO DE MAYO”. Featuring 3 soundsystems and an all-star cast of future world breaks, latin, house and hip hop including Bassnectar (DJ Lorin), and some of the local future-world music crop including Soulsalaam (Future Juju), Vanka (Misturada), El Papa Chango (El Circo), and Jayo & Kevin Wardell (Seismic). The more modern funky breakbeats will be provided by underground beatslingers, Motion Potion (the Fringe), Evinrude (Space Cowboys) and residents Mycho, Cocoa, Victor Vega and Tim Dietz. Plus visual vibes will be provided by Kaia Jacobi and the Fringe Collective painters, Nicole Andris, Trav Kohler and Micah Circe . For the last decade, Lorin Ashton has helped develop the North American underground dance music scene. From touring full time as a DJ (an average of 125 shows per year), to his production & remixing under the alias Bassnectar, he has ammassed a dedicated fan base, crossing over from hip hop to electronica to breakbeat to ragga/dub to the jam band scene and the greater Burningman Scene. In January, Bassnectar was voted the #1 DJ in the Bay Area in the prestigious “Nitevibe Dreamteam” poll (www.nitevibe.com). DJ, producer and percussionist, Soulsalaam (soulsalaam.com) has thrilled audiences from the Bay to Brazil with his future-world breaks, and live conga beats. Able to create, play the freshest African, Brazillian and Latin styles, then augment them with live percussion, Soulsalaam always pushes a dancelub over the edge. The same dynamic is brought by Seismic duo Jaio & Kevin Wardell, who rock Latin beats with live percussion. For that matter, no one has explored the future of latin music in the Bay Area more than DJ Vanka whose long-running Thursday night Misturada party is a fixture in the local world music scene. Ditto El Papachango, the El Circo regular known for merging Latin beats with modern breaks. Adding to the world music mix will be some of the underground’s future-music talent. Motion Potion, “the Swiss army DJ” is best known for his embrace of the local funk scene, but recently has been seen performing live with Parliament-Funkadelic and the Mutaytor. Evinrude is a regular with the breakbeat driven Space Cowboys crew. Mycho Cocoa has garnered a superb reputation as a top beatslinger in styles as diverse as Arabic breaks, and soulful house. Like the rest of the Fringe DJ’s Victor Vega’s tastes run the gamut, but the NYC native is best known for his superior skills with Latin house and breakbeats. A crusader trying to bring underground hip hop back to underground parties, Billete is a member of the Fringe collective. Kaya (the Fringe): Beginning with homegrown imagery, Kaia has evolved her visual palette with STS9, Anon Salon, Moontribe, Traveling Corn, and other independent productions to bring an E-motion-al graphic eXplosion to an Intelligent Dance party near you.
Slow Food Nation

How is a heritage turkey different from its factory farm counterpart? What is a Blenheim apricot and why should we preserve it for posterity? How can we all enjoy local, affordable, and sustainably produced food? The answers will be apparent at the first Slow Food Nation, a celebration of American food organized by Slow Food USA for May 1-4, 2008 in San Francisco. San Francisco is poised to be at the center of a movement with global implications. Experts such as Alice Waters and Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, are anchoring the task force planning the four-day celebration, which will embody the values of the Slow Food movement and illustrate how food and agriculture form a complex global tapestry of cultural, political, and environmental issues. In addition to education through taste, the event will offer a wide range of activities for all ages, including talks, forums, workshops, and films that will teach people the importance of preserving traditional foods and production techniques—and alert them to the broader implications of their eating choices. A marketplace of over two hundred farmers and artisans from across the country will showcase the range of traditional American foods. Attracted by the simple pleasures of the table, participants will leave having learned how American food production affects global issues, including greenhouse gas emissions, childhood obesity, famine in the developing world, and the disappearance of the small farmer. Attendees will emerge with a broad-based vision of the life-enriching benefits of a sustainable approach to food and life, as well as the tools and personal connections to implement that vision.

Best-known for his vital presence in Norah Jones' band, guitarist Adam Levy has a sound and style all his own. Brandi Shearer's voice is an irresistible, smoky instrument imbued with an air of mystery and melancholy. She is also a first-class songwriter with a unique sound that blends the feeling of classic torch songs of the '30s and '40s with the relaxed melodies of old-time country music and bluesy, swinging jazz. Quincy Coleman is LA based singer/songwriter. Quincy pursued entertainment dreams throughout high school and college. After flirting with acting in New York and a few TV spots she did the U.S. college student thing and headed for Europe.

Once product risk has been addressed, “de coding” how to sell and market is essential. Most start-ups end up selling to a different buyer and market than they originally envisioned, often for a different application and price and with a different set of critical product capabilities. The challenge is to quickly identify who the actual buyer is and adjust the product accordingly. Learn how to survive and thrive in this perilous period from those who have succeeded and from those who have benefited from that success. Agenda: 6-6:30 pm: Networking and Hors D'oeuvres 6:30-8 pm: Panel discussion and Q/A Pre-registration closes 9 AM the day of the event. COST: (Includes buffet dinner, coffee and tea; cash bar available) Members - $25 Affiliates who advertise this event - $25 General Public - $35 Walk-ins: Add $10 to rates above LOCATION: Crow Canyon Country Club, 711 Silver Lake Drive, Danville, CA 94526.

Sam Gosling: Author of SNOOP: The Secret Language of Stuff

Our private spaces--from boardroom to bedroom--reveal our personalities, whether we know it or not. Does what's on your desk reveal what's on your mind? Do those pictures on your walls tell true tales about you? And is your favorite outfit about to give you away? For the last ten years psychologist Sam Gosling has been studying how people project (and protect) their inner selves. By exploring our private worlds (desks, bedrooms, even our clothes and our cars), he shows not only how we showcase our personalities in unexpected--and unplanned--ways, but also how we create personality in the first place, communicate it others, and interpret the world around us.
