Little Al and the Peanut Bandits invite you to a fabulous party to support Team in Training:
Saturday, August 14, 6p
Live band after the raffle!
Luscious Garage
475 9th St, SF (link to map)
The party, in honor of Peter “Peanut” Togasaki, starts at 6, and the drawing for the AWESOME raffle prizes will be at 9. You won’t want to miss it! (See the invitation below.)
Live music, beer, wine, and snacks are in store for you. $25 entry at the door, which gets you free food and drink plus 2 FREE RAFFLE tickets, with an opportunity to buy more raffle tickets (and you know you’ll want to).
Silent auction items also await, like a three course dinner for 2 with wine pairings at Jardiniere in San Francisco (http://jardiniere.com/), a free “Vitals” service at LG, and more!
Items for sale include handmade bracelets from used bike tubes, magnets, and pins.
We’d love to see you, not only to help us raise money to cure blood cancer, but also to have a great party!
“We have marauded across the roads of Northern California, destroying the composure of all wild turkeys and small rodents who cross our tires (the lizards are, in particular, visibly disturbed). Our fearless and intrepid leader, Little Al, was plucked from the world of puffin chucking because of her burly calves and cycling prowess. Her vision and label maker brought the Peanut Bandits from a rag-tag group of motley hooligans to a finely oiled mechanism of speed and progressive ideals. With a twinkle in our eyes and a spin to our cadence we will attack the hills and flats of Lake County, breaking hearts and pilfering peanuts!”

Coda EV pics, video
The February SFEVA meeting was a huge hit! Standing room only for the presentation; countless test rides. Coda has built a OE grade car, the best fit and finish of any start-up EV company we’ve seen. That’s a reflection of their impressive network of suppliers and JV collaboration with Lishen. They still have some marketing quirks to work out (Slogan: “100% fuel deficient”...? Gotta drop that ASAP) but the tech side inspires a lot more confidence. The remaining obstacle will be competitive pricing against the Nissan Leaf.

Artist’s Statement:
“I make paintings on canvas using oil bars and paint, dry pigments and washes, brushes and rags. Often, I invent processes that require touching the surface of the painting with my hands, developing surfaces that contrast repetitive, obsessive, time-consuming procedures with abrupt, accidental moments. The imagery that develops often shifts back and forth between the figurative and abstraction. Repetitive actions seduce my mind below the surface of thought, where unpremeditated gestures can bring something tangible and meaningful from behind the screen of consciousness out onto the canvas. Those rare moments in life when the brain scrambles to decode visual input that is not readily interpreted are exciting to me, and I look for ways to reproduce that experience as I work. Many of my paintings explore color relationships as a kind of emotional sign language. I enjoy watching colors interact as dramatically as characters in mythology or opera. Visual interactions between marks and surfaces made with oil paint, dry pigments, and spray paint create complex relationships that I hope will reward patient and persistent examination.”
