See our registration policies here. \nAndalucía is the largest region of Spain\, in the south\, typically known for its olive trees. However\, it’s also the birthplace of cold soups! Cold soups\, like gazpacho\, are generally known as Spanish food\, but they are actually specific to the south due to the hot temperatures\, and locals need a delicious way to cool down! \nWe’ll keep our cool in the Zoom room and make two soup recipes: one traditional\, one modern. Ajoblanco is a medieval recipe that is said to be the original cold soup. Ajoblanco showcases many aspects of the regional cuisine: recycling day-old bread\, using seasonal ingredients\, and originally made with a mortar and pestle\, a medieval technique if ever there was one! Our modern soup is the Cherry Gazpacho\, a twist on the traditional tomato-based soup. It is sure to delight the taste buds! Camila will also discuss some variations on these recipes\, to inspire your future cold soup creations. \nTo round out our vibrant summer lunch\, you’ll also make another Andalusian specialty: Tortillas de Camarones\, or baby shrimp fritters. It’s a traditional Andalusian tapa from the region of Cadiz\, served year-round but especially during Carnival. \nWe can’t think of anything better to eat when the temperatures rise. Stay cool and cook with us! \nMENU \nAjoblanco: Chilled Garlic and Almond Soup \nCherry Gazpacho \nTortillas de Camarones: Baby Shrimp Fritters \nEquipment and Ingredient list can be found here! \nThis menu contains the following common allergens: Tree Nuts\, Dairy\, Wheat. Gluten free and dairy free accommodations are available for this menu with advance notice. If you have allergies or dietary restrictions that concern your ability to cook along\, please e-mail info@18reasons.org before purchasing a ticket. \nLet’s Cook Together! \nIf you’re new to 18 Reasons Online\, please read this guide: How to Take an Online Class at 18 Reasons. Five calendar days before class\, 18 Reasons may decide to cancel this class if not enough tickets are sold. We will notify registrants by email about cancellations. \nCamila Loew holds a Ph.D. in Humanities and is a certified nutrition consultant. Having lived alongside the Mediterranean for almost two decades\, she believes that the best cooking relies on simple recipes with outstanding ingredients. That’s the Mediterranean way she conveys in her classes\, along with the concept of sobremesa\, which happens to be the name of the company she runs. Sobremesa is the leisurely time we spend gathered around the table. In addition to running Sobremesa Culinary Tours\, through which she offers delicious cultural and culinary experiences abroad for fellow food-lovers\, Camila founded and directs the Food Studies & Gastronomy program at the University of Barcelona\, and teaches academically about Mediterranean food culture to American students abroad. Since 2014\, Camila has been sharing her love of regional Spanish and Mediterranean cuisines at 18 Reasons.

Reservations are available HERE. \nFor information on our current COVID policy\, please click here. \nSean Hayes \nSean Hayes is a Bay Area singer-songwriter who makes music to dance to or cry to\, or maybe both at the same time. He was born in New York City\, raised in North Carolina\, and honed his earliest musical chops in a band playing Irish and old-time tunes — but his unique style of deeply felt\, R&B-inflected folk really matured during his two decades singing and playing in cafes\, bars\, and night clubs of San Francisco. \nHis voice layers wonder and heartache upon grit and gravel\, sex and soul. His lyrics carry an unpretentious wisdom. He’s dueted with Aimee Mann; been covered by the Be Good Tanyas; and toured with Anais Mitchell (performing songs from Hadestown\, before it was an award-winning Broadway show). His songs have appeared on NPR\, NBC and HBO.

Even in the midst of this tragedy\, however\, his wonderful sense of the comedy of life does not desert him (how much should he spend on the gun?)\, indeed serves him insidiously well as a buffer against the grim reality of his intention. Copeland hopes this very personal\, and ultimately redemptive\, story will reach people who struggle with depression—often called the last stigmatized disease—as well as their families and loved ones. Interspersed with interviews with other sufferers\, the play\, like so many Marsh stories\, also offers outsiders an insider’s view\, thereby expanding our understanding and\, hopefully\, our humanity. As critic Sam Hurwitt put it in The Idiolect: “It’s a play I’d strongly recommend to anyone who is now or has ever been depressed or who knows someone in that situation. But honestly\, it’s such a strong piece that I’d recommend it just as heartily to anyone who’s ever been human.”\nClick to make a donation to support this life-saving show\nAbout the Performer \nBrian Copeland has been in show business since he first stepped on the comedy stage at the tender age of 18. Soon he was headlining clubs and concerts across the country and opening for such artists as Smokey Robinson\, The Temptations\, Ringo Starr\, and the Queen of soul Aretha Franklin\, in venues from The Universal Amphitheater to Constitution Hall in Washington DC. Soon\, Copeland branched off into television\, appearing on comedy programs on NBC\, A&E and MTV. He spent five years as co-host of San Francisco FOX affiliate KTVU breakfast program Mornings on 2 and two years hosting San Francisco ABC affiliate KGO’s Emmy Award winning afternoon talker 7Live. In 1995\, ABC affiliate KGO Radio premiered “The Brian Copeland Show”. It’s unique mix of talk and entertainment soon made it the most listened to program in its time slot. Copeland branched out into theater in 2004 with his first solo play\, NOT A GENUINE BLACK MAN. This critically acclaimed exploration of race and identity created an audience pleasing blend of laughter\, tears and sociology that led to the show becoming the longest running solo play in San Francisco theatrical history. Successful runs in Los Angeles and Off Broadway and a bestselling book adaptation followed. GENUINE has been performed in over 30 cities across America. Copeland’s other theatrical work includes THE WAITING PERIOD\, a solo play about his lifelong struggle with depression and the Christmas play THE JEWELRY BOX\, opening in November 2013. His first network special\, NOW BRIAN COPELAND will air in NBC in January 2015.

This class is limited to 12 students. Review our registration and cancellation policies here. Masks are welcome. \nIn the “Five Ingredients” series\, our aim is to make Asian recipes accessible to anyone intimidated by unknown ingredients\, a lack of storage\, or a lack of time. In this class\, we will make some comforting dishes from Linda’s Chinese Malaysian repertoire of recipes – simplified to reduce complexity\, but still full in flavor!

This time out\, he — alongside bassist James Hornsey and drummer Mark Keen — incorporated elements of post-bop jazz\, contemporary classical and electronic music. According to MacLean\, “None of those things had been able to find their way into our sound other than in the most passing way\, in the faintest imprint.” \nThis stretching out — what MacLean calls “a leap forwards and to the side” — can be heard clearly in “Blue Over Blue\,” with its percussive samples and its moments where the arrangement opens up suddenly into something cinematic in scope\, with horns and strings. \n“What happened with this record was that we bought a computer\,” MacLean explains. Under the old Clientele way of recording\, a tricky song like “Blue Over Blue” might’ve eaten up all their studio time\, as they worked out the time signature and the instrumentation. For I Am Not There Anymore\, though\, the trio would lay down a few tracks and then take them home to play around\, trying out different arrangements before returning to the studio to finish recording all the little instrumental enhancements. \n“Blue Over Blue” depicts MacLean’s scary adventure of being lost in the woods with his son\, he explains: “‘Blue Over Blue’ is about getting lost in the woods on Hampstead Heath on an autumn day with my two-year-old son on my shoulders—he loved it and wanted to play hide and seek. I knew he was a ticking time bomb as I had no food with me and was trying to find my way back to a path.” The accompanying video sees the band adorned in armor beneath beautiful and abstract artwork.\nOver the 32-year career of the pop band The Clientele\, critics and fans have often described their songs with words like “ethereal\,” “shimmering\,” “hazy\,” “pretty” and “fragile.” \nMacLean\, though\, has his own interpretation of the effect his music creates. “It’s that feeling of not being there\,” he says. “What’s really been in all the Clientele records is a sense of not actually inhabiting the moment that your body is in.” \nI Am Not There Anymore regularly evokes what MacLean calls “the feeling of not being real.” A lot of the lyrics were inspired by MacLean’s memories of the early summer in 1997\, when his mother died. Though the album functions as MacLean’s way of mourning\, he notes that he’s not the kind of songwriter who ever sits down with a theme in mind. It’s more that “the music will bring images and then those images link of their own accord.” It’s a general mood he’s chasing with these loosely connected recollections. (For more of MacLean’s impressionistic words\, spend some time with his book Exhaust Fumes\, Magnolias & Light: Selected Lyrics 1997-2021\, published by Edge of the Lane Press.) \nThe result is a 19-track journey that extends from light bossa nova beats to the Clientele’s classic chamber pop\, with Keen’s live drums weaving around programmed drum and bass samples to create something polyrhythmic and avant-garde. Keen is also responsible for the spare and lovely instrumental interstitials that appear throughout the LP — all called “Radials\,” as in “the spokes from the center of the wheel.” \nThey “change the focus in between songs\,” according to MacLean. “Without those tracks\, everything might be a bit too heavy. They make you look away for a little while so you can look back again later.” There’s a similar purpose to the cover image\, taken from the 1823 Kameda Bōsai painting Long Life. It’s both a beautiful piece of abstract art and a poem about\, in MacLean’s words\, “the distance and surprise of getting older.” \nAs MacLean says\, I Am Not There Anymore is all about “the memory of childhood but at the same time the impossibility of truly remembering childhood… or even knowing who or what you are.” URL:https://missionlocal.org/event/the-chapel-the-clientele/ LOCATION:The Chapel\, 777 Valencia St.\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94110\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com/mission/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJwcm9kLXNpaC5zZWV0aWNrZXRzdXNhLnVzIiwia2V5IjoiMjEyYWI5MmYtZmMwOS00YTJkLTgzODItNTQxYzVmODAwYjk2IiwiZWRpdHMiOnt9fQ-e1692202424935.jpg GEO:37.760565;-122.421188 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Chapel 777 Valencia St. San Francisco CA 94110 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=777 Valencia St.:geo:-122.421188,37.760565 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230820T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230820T220000 DTSTAMP:20260426T091009 CREATED:20230816T183821Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230816T183821Z UID:10019913-1692561600-1692568800@missionlocal.org SUMMARY:Brick & Mortar Music Hall: The OMO Tour with Yung Kayo\, Onlybino!

The exhibition centers on a few of Juana Alicia’s renowned mural works around the San Francisco Bay Area as well as a new body of work on the story of La X’tabay\, a Yucatec Mayan myth. \nCurated by Marco Antonio Flores\, the exhibition features Juana Alicia’s sketches for her murals\, pages from her sketchbooks\, and illustrations from the forthcoming graphic novel with Tirso González Araiza\, La X’tabay\, presented in the exhibition as a hand-printed artist’s book in codex form. \n“I am thrilled to present an exhibition reflecting the exuberance of San Francisco’s multicultural communities and the importance of art in everyday life\,” said Marco Antonio Flores. “Juana Alicia has been a leading figure in the California mural movement since the early 1980s and this show reflects the scope of her public works from fresco to fused glass\, bringing attention to the colorful palette that makes up the streets of San Francisco.” \n“I am deeply honored to present a survey of my mural designs at the San Francisco Arts Commission Galleries. Most of the works highlighted here are found in the Mission District\, the heart of a vibrant mural movement in which I have been active for over four decades\,” said Juana Alicia. “The San Francisco Arts Commission has been a constant supporter of my public projects over the years.

P.

Unbalanced? Unhinged? Nuts? In a country that has clearly lost its mind\, what do any of those words mean anymore? As her social worker tries to navigate the Kafkaesque labyrinth of city bureaucracy Yume is on her own quest to regain what has been taken from her. \nBut up-and-coming FOX News commentator Marcia Stone has no problem with being at the vanguard of driving the nation around the bend. It’s her key to getting a nightly slot on the network\, and if she can give her viewers a focus for their fear\, a hellhole of depravity and failed policies so much the better! And where better than the filthy\, dangerous streets of San Francisco to illustrate for her bosses and audience the depths to which the progressives have dragged us? If only she could find a person on those streets… someone to personify America’s…Breakdown.

The increased number of youth scholarships and workforce development opportunities coupled with the termination of COVID relief funds have meant that the organization is relying more than ever on a strong and generous showing at its Push It Forward 6 fundraiser. \nMore than 80 well-known and grassroots artists and skateboarders have signed on to contribute a skateboard deck to be auctioned off\, along with hourly raffles and other prizes from generous donors. A youth skateboard film showcase will also be featured\, along with delicious food & drink options from the tightknit community of local vendors who have long supported San Francisco Skate Club’s work. And the SF Skate Club retail store will have limited-edition merchandise for purchase. \nArtists include big names like Ando\, Alicia McCarthy\, Tod the Bunny\, ferris plock\, Victor Reyes\, Thomas Campbell\, Jenny Sharaf and Jeffrey Cheung\, along with lesser known up-and-coming artists like SUPER EXTRA FANCY and Clautopia (the latter whose piece last year was one of the most hotly contested bids in the art auction!) \nThe website will continue to be updated in the lead-up to the event\, with musical acts also being added to the day-long program. Interviews with EduSkate participants and SF Skate Club staff available upon request\, as well as previews of artist work.
