Help Danny raise some dough for his Aids LifeCycle Ride

For those of you who don’t know, Doug Vincent and Danny Gutierrez are participating in the 8th annual Aids LifeCycle ride. Danny is our Kids Coordinator and we want to do all we can to help him meet his goal for this wonderful cause. Together Doug and Danny committed to raise at least $6000 for the cause. So, as part of that they’re doing a benefit show (details about the ride are at the bottom)!

8pm May 2^nd, 2009 at the Kennel Club.
$5.00 minimum, with (donations of more appreciated) cover with proceeds going to the cause!

First of all, some great local bands, and good friends are playing to support us!

Splitzville – Great friends and great music
Flounder – Doug is the Bass player
Exhale – Reunion show, just for us, Danny plays Guitar
Lite Brite – Shooting a video at this concert, come get in on the footage!
Prieta – A great Sacramento band getting a lot of deserved acclaim

These are folks who have found other ways to help us out!

Asbestos Press has created a custom poster for the show, she has hand printed / hand numbered 70 posters for us to sell at the show! A very talented artist that shows at many galleries in Sacramento.

Steven Cranston at New Order Ink has donated custom screen printed t-shirts with sales to go directly to Doug and Danny’s ride (these shirts are available at this event and at SBK).

Sean Royal and Splash Promotions have also donated custom screen printed shirts with all sales going directly to the cause.

Doug and Danny will be Riding 545 Miles (San Francisco to Los Angeles) to raise money toward the fight to abolish AIDS!

On May 31-June 6, 2009, Doug and Danny are participating in the AIDS LifeCycle. It’s a 7-day, 545-mile bike ride starting in San Francisco and finishing in Los Angeles. There will be 2,498 riders joining them with their goal to help raise at least $7,500,000. Dug & Danny have committed to pull together $6,000 in donations between the two of them.

You can donate online and read more about the event.

Doug and Danny have been friends for just shy of 20 years. Ever since they met in high school they have been up to no good, until now! Rather than doing “lawn jobs” on their bikes in a pointless effort to hold on to their punk rock youth, they are going to put their angst energy towards a great cause! If only riding their bikes 545 miles was enough, they would do it over and over again for the rest of their lives, but it’s not… They need your help.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out! Thank you to Masullo Pizza for the pizza, Brad Gleed for the beer, James Anderson and Jeremy Pearson for the music, and Sarah, Michelle, Dawnie, Tim, Ryan, Satapana, David, Danielle, Scott, John B, John G, Rose, and anyone else I might be forgetting for volunteering time and making this party possible! Thank you to the volunteers who kept the shop open all day and manned the mobile fixery at the race. We made almost enough to pay rent for another month, which means we’ll be here at least through April…

Thank you again, and don’t forget about next 2nd Saturday when we’ll have the Poplollys and more playing live!

Grand Reopening a Success!

Thank you to everyone who came out last night!! We made about $700, which was awesome. We spent over $5,000 getting into the new space, so we’ll be having regular fundraisers to make sure we can make the rent…which is higher than it used to be.

We’ll be hosting second Saturday openings each month, so if you’d like to hang some art in the shop, send an email with pictures to i...@sacbikekitchen.org.

Thank you again and we look forward to next month!
