So the full concept is now available, and you can view the hours for LUNCH, BRUNCH, DINNER and HAPPY HOUR on the website: www.theredrabbit.net and there is also a tab encouraging public transit and garage parking on the website, as well as Facebook.

Did it in Montreal and if Sacpress would allow photos or video comments (hint hint Joel) I'd show you a sweet photo!

Nothing will change what's already been done, but new technology and tools combined with new thinking make it possible to create smart and sustainable decisions from here on out. I agree with Ben, and love the idea of a competition. I've been obsessed lately with shared solutions to challenges. Mostly, been hanging out on this site: http://www.openideo.com/. Peep it and let's keep Sacto moving in the 21st century. #welivehere.

They would do well to play off its legacy. Hope they're listening! Sonny Mayugba 2010-11-12T23:29:35Z Sonny Mayugba comment-40432 2010-11-12T22:13:31Z 2010-11-12T22:13:31Z People's memory is short. Long before this was a troubled spot, it was a great place where old drunks, young hipsters, musicians, blue collar workers, and skateboarders all hung out together. I imagine most people aren't giving this new concept a shot, but I think it may work. Any progression in the hospitality and entertainment landscape of Sacramento should be given a chance. I'll definitely check it out once.

We spoke to Joanna at Jim Denny's and she said, yes, the Deal Ticket vouchers are good for one year and they will honor them as long as they are valid.

Best of luck to their family!

Your stories and your involvement in the community and in this philanthropic endeavor is nothing short of stellar. Thanks to everyone who engaged in this and for all the support. Sonny Mayugba 2010-07-23T23:51:31Z Sonny Mayugba comment-28030 2010-05-25T23:10:28Z 2010-05-25T23:10:28Z I had an interview arranged with Henry Rollins after a Rollins Band performance at the Crest Theatre many years ago. When he showed up, he kept telling me no to the interview, while I insisted that this wasn't going to be a standard lame interview and he should give me the time. He finally stopped and said, "You've got 30 seconds, GO!" As I explained my concept, word association with Henry Rollins, he said, "No" and took off. You're very right, he is completely intense. I'm a fan, and a fan of your writing. Sonny Mayugba 2010-05-25T23:10:28Z Sonny Mayugba comment-25870 2010-04-29T02:44:06Z 2010-04-29T02:44:06Z Wow, great wrap up on Tyreke's season. Outstanding player. It's weird how the 'worst case scenario' turned out to the best case.

I formed a team for Sacramento Press and I'll be shaving my head to support the cause. I've already raised some donations. Good onya!

I was riding the Funitel and it was the talk of the car. The local retailers are tentative about the change, but have big hopes it will be a good change.

My Mother would take me there to get the super creative cards in the early 80s. You guys killed it! Glad you're moving on to greener pastures!

I should probably get it together and do a show out here, eh? Sonny Mayugba 2009-10-23T03:38:30Z Sonny Mayugba comment-15735 2009-10-17T21:51:14Z 2009-10-17T21:51:14Z Local owners with a serious affinity for all things coffee will create a combination that will thrive. I think this will flourish for nearby residents, and will become a destination adding more action to the neighborhood. I lived across the street from there for years, and I would have loved to have Old Soul there back in the day.

Plus, it drew twice as many people as The Killers. The best part was overhearing your fellow Star Wars fans geeking out on the memorbilia. There were some pretty great "fly on the wall" quotes. The symphony was phenomenal and making it utterly relevant, it essentially was a mash up. Girl Talk has nothing on Star Wars.

There are actually 5 winners. In addition to the grand prize, here's the other 4: Sacramento Press Purple Package that includes 2 tickets to the October 23 Pre-Season game and a behind the scenes tour with a meet & greet w/ members of the dance team and the mascot Slamson.

I once went on a van skateboard tour with 6 dudes in a van and we had one, yes, ONE, cassette. I was Get In Where You Fit In and we heard that loop over and over. Best part? It never got old. Classic album. Bummed to have missed that one. Sonny Mayugba 2009-08-06T05:47:59Z Sonny Mayugba comment-9424 2009-06-13T05:16:54Z 2009-06-13T05:16:54Z Rad.

They are beyond talented, bringing their own cooers full of supplies, putting months of thought and R & D into their creations. Anyone out there, it's a treat to see these events in person. Mixologists helping put Sacramento on the spirits map! Sonny Mayugba 2009-06-04T15:34:05Z Sonny Mayugba comment-8792 2009-06-04T15:27:32Z 2009-06-04T15:27:32Z That was a phenomenon, great photos.

Got to hang with Michael Guthrie, the architect for The Grange, Chef Michael Tuohy, as well as the usual cast of Sacramento citizens (ha). The spread gave a great tour of the property, from ground level to the astounding 14th floor balcony. The fact that they preserved the building while improving its insides makes this group top notch. IMO, The Citizen and The Grange are one of the best assets of this city. Sonny Mayugba 2009-02-27T16:49:51Z Sonny Mayugba comment-1866 2009-01-05T07:26:14Z 2009-01-05T07:26:14Z That's the first time I've heard this term applied to a whole city...and I like it. Unfortunately, in the past the flash never fired on events that really should have been mobbed (Mookie Blaylock ((Pearl Jam)) at the Cattle Club, Nirvana at Cattle Club, Jane's Addiction at the Lite Rail Inn). Granted, these three examples are all bands, but all grew to be global mob scenes (Time Magazine cover?--yes.) I just hope we're done with the days of Sactown being a flash mob that only gathers when other's say it's cool. p.s. Your piece deserves a mention of the River Cats. A great mob out there all summer.

It had the feeling that it could ignite, but the person on the bullhorn kept reminding people to follow the boundaries. It was intense, and for good reason. Sonny Mayugba 2008-11-07T01:12:20Z Sonny Mayugba comment-749 2008-11-05T18:22:16Z 2008-11-05T18:22:16Z Wow, a coper reference. Very cool. You got out just before waxing ledges became en vogue. I'll be honest, it was fun for awhile. But, as NW says above, just go faster.

He looked at me and said, "If you do that shit in Boston, you'll get your ass kicked. We don't wax shit, we skate it." Never forgot that. Sonny Mayugba 2008-10-31T00:40:48Z
