Mission: Luck O' The Irish to Twin Pine Casino

Sure and Begorrah we're going to have a great time . . . and that's no blarney!

Join the troops of the Napa Guerilla Gay Bar as we head north on a private executive coach from Napa to the hamlet of Middletown, California. There we'll spend the afternoon of St. Patrick's Day (Saturday, March 17) taking advantage of the luck of the Irish at Twin Pine Casino.

We'll meet in the south parking lot of Oxbow Public Market. There we'll board our executive coach provided by our friends at Beau Wine Tours & Limousine Service. While aboard we'll enjoy Irish libations, goodies and games.

Upon return we'll invade Kitchen Door (610 First Street, Napa - Oxbow Public Market) for a no-host dinner - fabulous Irish specials or anything else on the menu!

Cost for coach service to and from Twin Pine, food & beverages on the coach and gratuity? Just $30 per person!

Space is limited to 36. Tickets are available via the PayPal link at irish.napagaybar.com or directly from Mission Commander Rick.

Japanese Relief Fundraiser at Oxbow - Sunday, March 20

The devastation in Japan due to the earthquake, tsunami and on-going nuclear crisis is horrific.  The images on television and on-line are heartbreaking.

Our friends at the Napa Valley Unity League are working with the fine merchants and purveyors at the Oxbow Public Market (610 & 644 First Street in Napa) to help raise funds to assist with the Japanese relief efforts.

So, here's the mission troops - come to the Oxbow Public Market on Sunday, March 20 between 3 and 7 pm.  Here's what will be happening:

• a number of fine Oxbow merchants will be donating a portion of their proceeds to the American Red Cross on behalf of Japanese relief efforts.  Signs will be posted to let you know which merchants are participating.
• folks from the Unity League will be soliciting donations to help the people of Japan.
• there will even be raffle prizes and some live entertainment!

In addition to attending the event, here are some other ways to help:

• volunteer to sell raffle tickets
• volunteer to walk around the market with a collection bucket
• donate a raffle item

Contact Deb Stallings at (707) 738-4826 for more information or to volunteer/donate.

Taco-Palooza!

It's gonna be a Taco-Palooza!

Join the troops from the Napa Guerilla Gay Bar on Saturday, October 30 as we once again invade the Oxbow Public Market (610 First Street, Napa). This time we're going to "strike" C Casa - An Innovative Taqueria. And get this . . .

IF YOU MENTION "NAPA VALLEY AIDS WALK" WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER, C CASA WILL DONATE 10% OF YOUR CHECK TO THE WALK ON BEHALF OF TEAM-2SUM!

Catherine Bergen along with Pablo and Erasto Jacinto opened C Casa during 2010 and it's been a hit with locals and visitors ever since. The food is "about innovative tacos, refreshing salads, rotisserie meats; all prepared fresh and made to order." They feature grass-fed meats, free-range poultry and sustainable fish. And the hand-made tortilla are to die for!

So, here's the plan:

• hit C Casa on your way to Yountville for the Napa Valley AIDS Walk and enjoy one (or more!) of their outstanding BREAKFAST TACOS (They're actually opening a 1/2 hour earlier just for us!). 
• on the way home, stop by and have an amazing (and well deserved, I might add) lunch.
• one of C Casa's fabulous rotisserie chickens would make a fabulous Saturday night dinner!

Rest & Relaxation - You've Earned It

The troops have gone above and beyond the call of duty! When that's the case there is only one solution - Rest & Relaxation (R & R)!

We'll need to recover from a weekend deployment for Napa Valley Pride 2009 (June 19-21, 2009). It's going to be a very busy time. As a result, all active duty or reserve troops will be granted R & R.

In M*A*S*H, Hawkeye, Hot Lips, BJ, Radar, Trapper John and even Frank Burns went to Tokyo for their R&R. Here in the Napa Valley, we're going to:
