Fancy Food Truck Fridays returns Aug. 12 -- now with more Paco!

The Websters companies (Fine Stationers, Community Pharmacy, and Liquor) are promising a treat for the next Fancy Food Truck Friday gathering on Aug. 12. 

Participating trucks are:

Grill 'em All

India Jones

Greenz On Wheelz

Hungry Nomad

Shrimp Pimp
A Rockin Ice

And -- according to WFS's Lori Webster in her latest email -- special guest for the evening will be Paco the crime-fighting chihuahua.  If you've always wanted to meet a superhero face to, uh, muzzle, this will be the time!  Fancy Food Truck Fridays runs from 5-9 PM.

And another gourmet taco truck stops by

This seems to be a new trend we're just discovering: the travelin' gourmet "roach coach."  We already heard about Kogi, and Donna Barnes-Roberts, who knows her way around a fork, tell us that the Fishlips Sushi truck will be swinging by the Coffee Gallery on Tues., Jan. 12, from 6-10 PM.

And while you're there, she adds:

The same evening at The Coffee Gallery we will be having our Tuesday night Open Mic Comedy - if you want to stand before the mic, you can sign up at 7:45, the laughs start at 8PM.  And in The Coffee Gallery Backstage starting at 8 PM Odds Bodkin will perform - they are a quirky trio that last time even performed a Klingon Drinking Song. If it's pagan, old, or just irreverant - it is their cup of fur.  There is a blog link here  to their last performance at The Coffee Gallery Backstage. 

(In our checkered past, we actually promoted a concert that included Odds Bodkins' Kenny Klein and his then-wife.  A long story, that!)

California fusion: Bulgarini offers Asian cooking class

Why is the Contra Costa Times so fixated on Altadena?  This is like the third story we've picked up from them ... and it is what it says:  the Asian cooking series, "Dragon Dinners," will be held Sunday afternoon at Bulgarini Gelato. Meal, cooking, and gelato dessert.  Details here.
