We did it! It's pouring in the Bay Area, and we needed it like . . . well, you probably know. Amid scary reports on water table-lowering and the sinking state, the debate surrounding California's unprecedented proposed Emergency Drought Relief legislation and fear over farm workers' jobs, the withering of almond plantations and ensuing withering of spirits, it's good to have something other than questionably ethical water-hogging grey-market marijuana to boost the mood . . . so hurray everyone who came to support the Raindance crew and shake what their mama gave them . . . for mother nature, of course. RainDance Presents Chinese New Year at 1015 Folsom was all hot and steamy inside, and as I stare out the window at the first rain of the season, it seems all that dancing paid off in the out-of-doors. Thanks to everyone who came out, to the rest of the Raindance crew!

KTVU did a great spread of the event, and Kenny Hoff captured some good shots and video as well . . . very awesome, considering I'm usually too busy running around to catch anything other than some grainy cellphone shots . . . Enjoy!
