I am excited and would like to have my friends come on down to tomorrow's big birthday bash with Numi Organic Tea (this Friday's) and this is also a fundraiser for MJ Green Mountain of Hamsalilla's new solo album, let's support his work, eh! These are some of my favorite people, and it has been and honor and joy to be doing special events with the Numi Tea Garden in Oakland, CA this last year. If you ever want to do an event with us, let me know and we can figure something fun out. We are building up our special events team and just added on Aaron Simon who works with the Seva Foundation, Wavy Gravy and all those cats! This sweet tea house hasn't even been open a year and we've already had Joanna Macy, Master Wang, Jah Levi, Arts in Action and many more great inspiring artists and speakers fill it with memorable moments.
