When we're not shaking our heads at the disturbing drug-related sideshow debacles that occur outside our studio (in what has been affectionately dubbed "bum sex alley") or debating the merits of 18th century slang, Arcadio is feeding the engines and gaining steam in preparation for our first show in San Francisco.

The show is exactly one week from today in the hospitable confines of El Rio in the cultural breeding ground called the Mission district.

With your attendance it promises to be one helluva time. We'll be starting at the peak of El Rio's Happy Hour at 8pm sharp. We highly recommend you arrive early, say 7:30.

Consider yourself formally invited. We look forward to seeing you there.
