Jazz, Ice Cream, and So Many Prizes Tonight at the Peacock LoungeInside the Peacock Lounge!
Sure, we've been posting a lot about this fire relief effort -- it's our blog and we'll do what we want! -- but we just had to let you know all the exciting last-minute updates about tonight's fundraiser at the Peacock Lounge.

Firstly, we'll enjoy sweet, sweet music courtesy of the Top Cat Jazz Trio. There will be food by Memphis Minnie's, Wing Wings, Chilli Cha Cha, Rotee, and Rosamunde. Carrie and Alex from Three Twins Ice Cream, which was forced to close because of the fire, will be on hand scooping the cold stuff. There will be beer from Mad Dog in the Fog and spirits available at the Peacock Lounge bar. And then there's the raffle! The prizes keep pouring in, but so far the slate includes:
  • Gift certificates to Animal House, Blackbird, Idle Hand Tattoo, Merch, Three Twins, and Uva Enoteca, as well as acupuncture treatments and massages from Thriving Life Wellness
  • A pack of clothes and accessories from D-Structure
  • A gift bag of chocolates from Nosh This
  • Bags of fabulous cleaning products from SF-based Method
  • A longboard and vintage-style cooler from our friends at Pabst Blue Ribbon
  • An expertly-curated selection of books from Booksmith
  • Top-shelf beverages from Danny Coyle's
  • A gift certificate and invitation to a soft-opening party for upcoming Lower Haight restaurant Maven
...and more! Raffle tickets will cost $3, with discounts for multi-ticket purchases. All of this goes to benefit the 30+ tenants who were displaced by last Tuesday's fire at Haight and Fillmore. Many of the residents lost most or all of their possessions in the blaze, while some haven't even had a chance to re-enter their apartments, as the building's been declared unsafe. It's been a rough week, and we're guessing everyone could use a little fun (not to mention some cash) -- so let's step up as a community and show these folks some love. Tonight's fundraiser runs from 7pm to 10pm at the Peacock Lounge, 552 Haight Street. You can RSVP and get more information over on the Facebook event page -- and if you'd like to make an online donation, you can do so here. See you tonight?
