Someone noted that I had not posted any Otto's Grotto gigs here on TC and wondered if I was still doing the DJ gig
Yes, Otto's Grotto happens the first Wednesday of the month at Forbidden Island from 8pm til midnight
The November Otto's Grotto is Next Wed., Nov 6 and it will be a party as I am premiering a free drink coaster and I have a guest DJ:
Swing on by FI Wednesday November 6 for some classic Lounge and Exotica when Otto's Grotto takes over the room.
Otto will be joined by Tyler Straub who will bring wax artifacts from his collection to share with you and me.
Tyler Straub is a Bay Area local DJ, electronic musician and analog enthusiast of many eclectic themes and varieties. His fascination with the lounge era and vintage recordings began at a very early age and continue to strongly influence his interests today.
We will also be joined by Beatnik artist MP painting live in the bar. And we will premiere the new Tiki Oasis Beatnik drink coasters!
Be there or be SQUARE.
I always post the latest gig on my facebook page here

and Forbidden Island has a calendar of events here
