Actors, friends and Mime Troupe enthusiasts came together on March 13 to pay tribute to Sandy Archer, who passed away in October. She was an important and charismatic force behind the San Francisco Mime Troupe, which was founded by Ron Davis in 1959 and grew into an icon of the 1960s counterculture movement.
Caroline Bins recently parachuted into the Mission from Amsterdam and has already climbed into a San Francisco Municipal Transit Authority vehicle with city workers to discuss the neighborhood. One of them, Amaya, was born and raised here. She explains she used to hang with the wrong crowd and also shares her favorite Mission salsa venues with her.

Just love your new show. Saw it July 4 in Dolores Park. It warmed my heart to know you are still alive and well. Loved the message also…. and the music, of course. I have been coming since 1981. Thanks so much for being you and blessing SF with your tremendous gift.
