Avoid the holiday party burnout by “going big” early in the month. Forget those Friday and Saturday
night traditional gigs, Wednesday is the new weekend. Help us support the Santa Barbara Unity Shoppe by drinking wine, meeting some weird people and listening to the great tunes of our own house band, Tommy & The High Pilots. Admission is free and all proceeds benefit the Unity Shoppe. Silent Auction, styrofoam snowball fights and great local foods. This year will also mark the return of our intoxicatingly popular Beaujolais, aptly named Barely Legal. Only 25 cases are made each vintage and this will be the only chance to get a taste or a bottle. In lieu of admission, a donation of Peanut Butter is requested, as it is the single most important item distributed by the Unity Shoppe. None of that store brand stuff either. Jiff, Skippy or Peter Pan please. |
