"Aluna contains
everything which is past
and everything that may become.
Aluna is the thought and memory
which forms a bridge between
the human 'Spirit' and the Universe.
Aluna makes possible growth,
birth and creation; it is the spiritual energy
that makes things happen..." |

California Brazil Camp to participate in sacred
Candomblé dances, incendiary choro circles, forró
hoedowns, smoldering bossa nova jam sessions, and
all-night pagode sing-alongs. [more

Cava 22
3239 22nd St, at Valencia; The Mission; 415.642.7224
From a former Coco500 chef, this group-friendly
bar-restaurant features 50+ tequilas, and Spanish-French
grub like Pan-Seared Duck Breast w/ Star Anise and
Oysters in Cucumber Margarita Sauce -- a fusion of
aphrodisiac and cocktail almost as tempting as
Brandy-Collins-basted Tiger Penis.[more]
