Lucha, mezcal, beer, tacos: What more could you ask for?

Lucha

All right folks, this is your last chance, tickets are going fast so you’d better buy now to get down at a fantastic event this Saturday in San Francisco for a fantastic cause. There’s so much happening at this Saturday’s Lucha at Pier 70 that I have to break down into easy bites:

The Cause

First up, the proceeds from this event go to support La Cocina, a Mission District non-profit which incubates female cooks as they build their businesses into local powerhouses. Find out more about their mission and all their awesome chefs at their web site. Hint: The model for our poster is a chef!

The Schedule

3:30-10PM Saturday, August 13th. We realize that some people really love lucha so you can also buy the “El Ring All-Access Package” to get in early, between 2:30 and 3:30 when you’ll get to have your photo taken with a favorite luchadore.
Lucha 5-7PM
Cocktails, mezcal, beer, tacos will be served for the duration of the event.
