"Doors open 9am, program starts at noon. Frank Ogawa Plaza, Oakland. More info here. This Town celebration of the beloved, raccoon-haired champion Olympian is already at-capacity on registrations. I'm including it here, rather, because maybe you'll want to want to raise a toast at a nearby bar in downtown-or at the very least, watch the joyful proceedings on the City of Oakland's Youtube channel."
"This event's title will be approached from artistic and idealistic angles at a showcase of ideas, ranging from an original performance from the city's beloved freaky drag star Peaches Christ to words by Congressional candidate Saikat Chakrabarti and Maggie Tokuda-Hall, whose hit children's book Love in the Library tells the story of her grandparents falling in love at the Minidoka Japanese internment camp."
"After voicing full-throated opposition to governmental impunity and invasions of Ukraine going back to the 2014 partial invasion, this Russian MC had to move his family to Lithuania. Trust that he hasn't lowered the volume on his hip-hop though-tonight he performs old classics and song from new album Not All There alike."
