About Amnesia from the site (www.amnesiathebar.com)

"Amnesia is a cozy red-lit neighborhood bar and concert venue hosting quality live music, entertainment, and DJs every night. Behind the swinging parlor doors you will be treated to a diverse selection of entertainment from Bluegrass to Indie Rock, 20's and 30's Hot Jazz, readings, film screenings, and even wild Gypsy Brass. On the weekends some of S.F.'s premiere underground DJs turn it up bent on working you into a fevered sweat on the dance floor. We also host private parties and benefits with ease and style.

Amnesia offers an array of fine beer, wine & soju cocktails, including a wide selection of micro brews and Belgian beers on tap in a relaxed and intimate environment.

Happy hour, offered from 6 – 8 p.m. daily, is a fine time to saddle up and sample one of our many domestic beers on tap for cheap.

You can reach the bar via the phone at 415.970.0012. If we don't pick up, we're busy, closed or we're having too much fun. Come down and say hi or shoot us an email at amnesia1 (at) mac (dot) com.

Amnesia is located at 853 Valencia St., betweein 19th and 20th streets in the Mission District of San Francisco."

See you There!

My touring (or not) with BDSS
Current mood: blessed

Hey, there.

Just here to clarify my touring schedule.

I'm not really touring with BDSS right now. I may be doing work with them in the future (like going to Tawian with them in the fall), but I'm really turning my attention to solo work and The Indigo stuff right now.

Feel free to check my site (www.rachelbrice.com) to find out where I'll be. You can also ask questions on our discussion group: www.yogaandtheindigo.tribe.net to ask whatever you like.
