This weekend marked the 40th Anniversary of Kool Herc’s party in the “Rec Room”. Hip Hop was celebrated Sat at Summerstage in Central Park and Sunday at 5Pointz.
We were going to post pictures from BillyJam, but he just wrote an epic post for Amoeba which you can check out here.
TOPH ONE, longtime DJ and friend of most people in SF was seriously injured in a hit & run accident last week. The community is coming together for a benefit at SOM this Sunday (100% of proceeds will be donated to Toph). We’re wishing Toph a speedy & complete recovery!
SOM. 2925 16th St.
8PM-2AM
Please join us Sunday January 22nd:
• $10-$20 Donations will be collected at the door (nobody turned away for a lack of funds), of which 100% will go directly to TOPH.
• SOM is donating 50% of bar sales.
• All of the DJs are donating their talents (so buy them a drink!)
All to raise funds for our comrade who has been dealt a serious set back.
Other ways you can help:
• Donate any goods that can be sold for a “silent auction” during the event.
• We need volunteers to collect donations at the door.
If you have any other ideas please contact us at: info@som-bar.com
