Fall Fest 2008 Features Wild Alaska Salmon Feast

The notorious Weasel and world champion horseshoe pro, Man Mountain Bobby Beautiful, has just returned from yet another victorious fishing expedition from the wilds of Palinland to offer you a once in a lifetime special event... A Wild Alaskan Salmon Feast!

How many other Muffin horseshoe teams can make that sort of claim... willing to travel to the arctic and back, braving high seas, gale force winds and airport security to bring you the best damn fish in the whole universe.

If that doesn't get you out to this year's Muffin Fall Fest, I don't know what will. Remember Fall fest is an "eventus pro bono", we just ask that you RSVP by October 8th.

Muffin Fall Fest is Friday - Sunday, October 10-13 at the old same place.

More info to come.

Berkeley Institution "Brennan's" Ousted For Condos! Farewell Gathering Friday, September 12th

A large part of the Muffin crowd mis-spent much of their youth in West Berkeley (Autogenic Systems, Clance and Rhiannon's, Virginia Street Gang). A favorite gathering place back in the late 70's and throughout the 80's was Brennan's, a bar and hofbrau style restaurant at the foot of University Avenue. After almost 50 years, Brennan's is being booted out to make room for condos. Brennan's will try to re-establish next door at the old and much smaller train depot (which can't be torn down due to its "historical" value!).

A number of the old Sam's 58 Club crowd (another sorely missed Berkeley institution) will be meeting at the old place for a final farewell on Friday September 12th. No time specified... probably around 8PM. Hope to see you all there! More info as it becomes available.
