................

(features some music from slow motion cowboys!) ALSO, it's a benefit for the non-profit i've worked at for 7 years, earthshare california. we raise $ for over 80 environmental non-profits, covering a spectrum of issues & topics - clean air & water, healthy sustainable food, land conservation, care of the great sea, mountain lions, desert tortoises, and beyond. it's at el rio in the outer mission, and is gonna be a really fun night. pocket full of rye is playing music after the film, then there will be a few more local films. networking happy hour 6-8 to start the night. would mean a lot to see you there!

Chasing the Moon (Birds & Batteries/ Joseph Childress), Sean Hayes & Obo Martin Thurs., Conspiracy of Venus Friday, Kacey Johansing Sunday

Hi everyone,
Here's a quick list of some shows & events coming up. Three great shows in a row starting tonight!

Tonight's show at Viracocha is in honor of the full moon, and the autumnal equinox, and Jupiter's brightness all lining up at once. Read more about this rare natural occurrence here: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/22sep_harvestmoon/ and come to the show if you can!

This Chasing the Moon show will premier Birds & Batteries' episode, and we will have live music from The Up Died Sound, Pillars & Tongues, WR/DS, & Joseph Childress. Three of the four bands are on Empty Cellar Records, & this show is the second live event in celebration of the release of the debut studio LP, 'Good & Plenty' by Sword + Sandals (John Dwyer, Randy Lee Sutherford, Shaun O'Dell).

Thursday, on what I think is the actual full moon (or day 2 of it?), come and see Sean Hayes & Obo Martin play songs at the New Parish in Oakland. (Yes, Oakland!!! Worth the trek for those of us in SF, & near the BART.) Friday, come hear the choir I'm in, Conspiracy of Venus, sing our first show of the season, for free at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, in honor of a neat project involving ancient bowls that women used to write their secrets on. Early at 6pm. Sunday Kacey Johansing & two awesome Portland bands play at Amnesia.

Here's the list:

9-22 wednesday.
Chasing the Moon show at Viracocha w/ WR/DS, the Updied Sound, Pillars & Tongues, & Joseph Childress, featuring Birds & Batteries Chasing the Moon episode. 
Viracocha is at Valencia & 21st, right next to ATA.

Birds & Batteries New Album, "Panorama", comes out on October 12th on Spune/ Velvet Blue, which you can get a little taste of through their Chasing the Moon episode.

YOGA CLASSES:

These are the Ongoing Yoga Classes that I'm teaching these days. I would love to see you there!

Gentle Hatha Yoga Saturdays at the Yoga Loft.
 $10 Community Class. 12:45-2pm. 321 Divisadero St. @ Page. http://theloftsf.com
This class is a meditative movement exploration, a slower-paced introduction to the practice that is good for beginners as well as those who would like a gentle & less physically challenging class for any reason. Focus is on getting into the body, grounding, and bringing acceptance to the body in the present moment. Students are encouraged to quiet the mind, breathe, and use intuition in moving in conjunction with guidance on safe alignment.

Restorative Yoga Sundays at the Yoga Loft.
$10 Community Class. 6:30-8pm. 321 Divisadero St. @ Page. (This class happens weekly. Meg Whitbread, or another very wonderful sub, will teach on the 3rd Sundays because of the SeaweedSway showcase!)
This is different from a regular yoga class, in that you do less poses and hold them for a longer amount of time in a non-strenuous way, all propped up, so the body can relax more deeply. Focus is on the breath and gentle opening of places where we hold extra tension and stress... and on re-setting, exploring, and rejuvenating intentions.

Community Yoga @ the Caretakers House 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of the month. 
848 Divisadero St. @ McCallister. 6:15-7:45pm. Important: Please RSVP if you can make it. Suggested donation of $5-10 but no one turned away for lack of funds, trades are welcome too.

if you'd like, sign up to get my yoga email updates (once a week or less) at http://groups.google.com/group/seaweedsway-yoga

If you're in the East Bay, check out the East Bay Yoga Collective. They are a donation based community yoga collective and have classes almost everyday of the week. Their website is http://ebcyoga.com/ and their email is ebcyoga@gmail.com
