Here is a great first-hand report from the Prop H pre-party and Concert w/ Cake!:

Here is the deal, I got an email from the Independent on Divisadero telling me that Cake was going to play there for a special benefit blah blah blah. I wanted to see Cake at a small venue and I was excited. By the time I figured out that my wife and I could both go, all that was left were the expensive VIP tickets and I really wanted to go so I bought them. The VIP tickets allowed us to go to a meet and greet and I sort of hate those things because the band is supposed to be nice to you because you paid more….. blah, blah blah so we figured we would just go to the show.

OK, Ok so get to the point. Well I got an email a few days before the show and it said come for food and drink etc. and the address was intiguing so we decided to go. The house was a grand old victorian with an amazing history all it’s own. the vibe was mellow and friendly and I walked past John McCrea (lead singer of Cake) on my way in trying to act non chalant…… I was so damn successful at the non chalant thing that i did not speak to John all night. I did get in 2 different conversation circles with him though and he had a bit of a sore throat so he was sipping hot tea.

So we are hanging out and checking out this amazing house and the owner said it was OK to go anywhere in the house and have a look around and it was a truly amazing pad! As we are looking around and chatting here and there, we keep noticing these people getting really excited about proposition H and we learn that the gist of it is that they want to achieve 100% clean energy in San Francisco by 2040 and PG& E is spending millions to try and stop it. Think about that folks, PG$E is spending millions of dollars they collected from you to try and defeat this proposition. You need to get informed and make your own decisions. We heard from Alix Rosenthal and Julian Davis from the campaign and John McCrea spoke for a minute as well. When Ross Mirkarimi spoke to us, I got really fired up and excited.
