Shakeytown!!

10.3.2019

That's what the Chief Robot's dad used to call San Francisco, and for the longest time the closest he'd make it to our fair city was a Baccarat table somewhere in Lake Tahoe.

"Shakeytown" for sure.  30 years ago today a pretty significant earthquake devastated the Bay Area.  I remember it well as I was 6 months into my first staff job, and our building (Folger Building at 101 Howard Street - built I 1903 - "if it withstood one shaker, it should withstand another") had the facade come away from the building, and we had to close operations and figure our next move.  I figured I'd be out looking for work.  Luckily, I was kept on during the nearly year long transition to a new location, and thankfully stayed employed there for an additional 12 years - years during which the Thursday Night Social Club formed at that very same company.

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Loma Prieta Earthquake (translatio : "Brown Knoll"), join us for shaken cocktails at:

Latin American Club         (** CASH ONLY**)

Those of us who were here back then can trade stories.  Those who weren't can listen, and learn - and buy us cocktails for surviving the ordeal.  :)


bye-ee!
