Goggys Mobile food truck. Meet Chris and David. They are my brothers from another species. Chris is the one on the left and, sadly, he is a New York Mets Fan. What is even worse though is that David (on the right) is a Chicago Cubs Fan. It's really easy to feel sorry for them. However, they do come from two big cities that really take pride in their food. So don't hold the sport allegiances against them. They can really make a top notch Hoagie (Hero, Sub, Stacker, or whatever you want to call it.) Plus, their level of creativity is unreal. You gotta find us and grab a bite before we "hop" to our next stop. https://twitter.com/followgroggys

Saturday 7pm Tribal Baroque @ ArtLab Studios 3536 Adams Ave San Diego 92116 Free All Ages. Read the complete story and invite everyone you know to this great night of entertainment. Lila’Angelique One day in the Angel tunnel in New York's Central Park, when she was listening to Thoth while they were singing "Anya," it sounded like a baroque countertenor; but there rhythm, vocal whooping and roaring sounded so tribal, that Lila called there music “Tribal Baroque”. A combination of opposites: raw, howling singing, feet stomping rhythm, faces painted, breasts flopping, wild original costumes, ecstatic spiritual dancing combined with highly developed musical phrases, perfect pitch, Bulgarian-style operatic soprano and countertenor vocals, and classically influenced violin. Thus the name, "TRIBAL BAROQUE".
The Academy award wining 2002 for a short documentary about S.K. Thoth life as a performer in New York city and the life commitment that he has made to his craft. So please don't miss any chance you have to see Tribal Baroque any where in the world they are playing.

Thus the name, "TRIBAL BAROQUE"
S.K. Thoth was born on June 19th, 1954 in Manhattan General Hospital to Elayne Jones, a tympanist with the New York City Opera, and George Kaufman, a doctor. They named him Stephen after Stephen Foster, the songwriter in the early 1900's. Stephen spent his early years in St. Albans, Queens. His parents had two more children, Harriet and Cheryl. He and his sisters attended the United Nations International School where Stephen showed himself to be an average student. Both parents were involved in the Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam War movements and took Stephen and his sisters on many marches in NYC and Washington. His father was one of the doctors who assisted the marchers who were beaten up by the police. At eight years old, after one year of piano lessons, he had a dream of someone giving him a violin. He began studying violin with Mara Dvonch, a friend of his mother's and the assistant concertmaster of the American Symphony Orchestra. Although recognized to have talent, he rarely practiced as much as his teacher would have liked, wanting to play baseball and tennis, and cook instead. Even so, he progressed steadily. His parents separated and divorced when he was ten years old. The separation forced he and his sisters to leave the United Nations International School to attend public school. He went to Junior High School 217. During junior high school, he began imagining and creating a mythological world, Festad, as a reaction to feeling alienated from his peers and after reading Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. He auditioned for and was accepted into La Guardia High School of Music and Art. Upon graduating he received the Memorial Award for over all musicianship. In 1972, his mother became tympanist for the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and moved he and his sisters to San Francisco. There he attended San Francisco State University as a music major where he met Richard Wiseman, a professor of comparative literature and an adept at Jungian psychoanalysis, who later became his adviser and mentor. Three years later, he transfered to San Diego State University as an astronomy major. After becoming disinterested in astronomy, physics and mathematics, he turned his interest and attention to opera, drama, and literature. He studied Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelugen and took classes in languages, philosophy, and playwriting, which led to him continuing to write about his mythological world Festad . . . As S.K. Thoth, he has been prayforming his solopera, THE HERMA:The Life and Land of Nular-in, daily at the Bethesda Terrace Arcade in New York City’s Central Park for more than ten years. In addition, he has prayformed the solopera in Sweden, Canada, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, and in the Bay Area, where he developed his work, for the AfroSolo ‘99 Theater Festival. He has appeared on The View, America’s Got Talent, and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In 2001, award winning director Sarah Kernochan made a documentary about Thoth’s life and work, which won the 2002 Academy Award for Documentary on a Short Subject. In June 2009, he released a book of short stories entitled Ruby and the Treehouse. In September 2009, Thoth released his eleventh CD with soprano and violinist, Lila’Angelique. He continues his study of theosophy, the eating and preparation of raw food, the assembling of the Encyclopedia of the Festad, and the writing of a novel about The Herma.

OUR LIVES HAVE GONE TO THE DOGS by Audrey and Eldad Hagar
The Hagars' organization HOPE FOR PAWS rescues and rehabilitates abandoned and neglected animals for adoption to loving homes.
Their wonderful book is filled with photos and stories of many dogs they've saved over the years. A generous donor funded the book's production, meaning every penny of the $15 retail price will be invested in helping more animals ... making this a perfect holiday gift for animal lovers wanting to support animal rescue efforts.
Check out the book at Adams Ave. Books, on the corner of Adams and 35th, and visit www.hopeforpaws.org for more info about this group and its work.

Of course if you are looking for a great gift for friends and family we have gift cards available. You can purchase them in person or over the phone.
For year December and Jaynes has become the month synonymous with a little beer you may have heard from the Emerald Isle, Guinness!Each year starting December 1st until 2012 we pour 20oz imperial pints of Guinness draft for just $3, all the time. That's right, all the time. This is just a small gesture of thanks to all of our guests for another wonderful year at Jaynes.
Like clockwork every year on the third Thursday of November there is a French wine released called Beaujolais Nouveau. Beaujolais Nouveau is a young, short ferment and thus low alcohol wine made from the primary grape of Beaujolais, gamay. The marking of this day began as a local tradition in Lyon France back in 1951 as a celebration of the year's harvest in which much wine was consumed and sold inexpensively around the local area. This quickly spread north to the wine bars of Paris and across France.
Soon enough an enterprising producer named George Deboeufcapitalized on this event and turned it into a worldwide phenomenon by exporting the wine. It became the wine world's Cinco De Maya. Unfortunately the quality of his wine and others quickly deteriorated as the craze for anything from Beaujolais skyrocketed.
Well why are you talking about a wine that may or may not be total crap? Well fellow wine geeks be damned, I love the original spirit behind this celebration and thankfully some of these wines are actually really great. We just happen to have the best of the best by my main man of Morgon, Jean Foillard. Jean Foillard is among a small vanguard of natural wine producers in Beaujolais making some of the most beautiful wines in the world right now. I literally just opened a bottle and am drinking a glass right now and loving it. Its so cool to have this early window into the wines of one of my favorite producers.
We will be pouring the 2011 Jean Foillard Beaujolais Nouveau tonight Thursday through the weekend. We hope you will come join us!
The Jaynes Pastrami Reuben is on the menu! Growing up, Jon often took the metro north train from Westport, CT in to the city and headed straight for one of two places. Uptown for Carnegie Delior downtown toKatz's Deli for a Pastrami Reuben on Rye.
In our estimation there is little more comforting than Hot Pastrami, Sauerkraut, melted Swiss Cheese and Thousand Island Dressing on Rye bread. At Jaynes we get the classic preparation just right, with Niman Ranch Pastrami, Bread and Cie Corn Rye, house made zucchini pickles and our hand-cut kennebec french fries. We will be serving this little taste of East Coast heaven Tuesday-Thursday this week for just $14.50
We hope to see everyone this week! xo jayne and jon
