Quake City Jug Band

On the  fifth day of Christmas , my true love said to me: ENOUGH of the stupid  golden rings  already! Take me to the Bateau Ivre in  B e r k e l e y   2629 Telegraph to dine on fabulous food and  wine  while being serenaded by the  Quake City Jug Band featuring  Kerry Parker  on fiddle and vocals! This Weds. Dec 29. 2010 7-9PM Wear your Christmas sweater from Aunt Bertha. Bring Onkel Sven! Bring your wife's step niece and her overly pierced "partner" who claim that all the flights back to Heathrow have been canceled. Bring your new years resolutions which have not yet gone into effect.
