Here is where we will be the next few weekends:


Saturday and Sunday, August 20-21
Hayward Zucchini Festival at Kennedy Park in Hayward, CA. Annual event with live entertainment, and lots of zucchini everything. Maybe we'll even hand-make a zucchini mask!


Saturday and Sunday, August 27-28
Ferry Plaza, Embarcadero, San Francisco. L-o-v-e this spot. Inside the Ferry Building Marketplace, it's like an indoor gourmet farmer's market. On Sunday, there is an outdoor farmer's market. Right on the water, the view is beautiful.


Saturday and Sunday, September 3-4
Millbrae Art & Wine Festival, Broadway Ave, Millbrae, CA. I saw that almost 1,200 people liked it on their Facebook page, so it must be good!

Party Masks for New Year's - Berkeley and San Francisco December 12-24

Halloween may be over but New Year's is just around the corner. Celebrate your New Year with a mask that will wow on-lookers and friends!

According to Wikipedia, traditional Venetian masks were usually worn "as a device for hiding the wearer's identity and social status. The mask would permit the wearer to act more freely in cases where he or she wanted to interact with other members of the society outside the bounds of identity and everyday convention. It was thus useful for a variety of purposes, some of them illicit or criminal, others just personal, such as romantic encounters."

Not only are MASKs party masks designed to make your evening a more magical and fun experience, they make terrific Christmas gifts for others, too! It's not just for wearing, it's also great to for starting collections.

See photo on the right for Steve Pogni's Thanksgiving mask, featuring a turkey (above the right eye). Custom masks designed upon request. Contact us to ask about prices.

MASK will be on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, CA the following dates:

• Dec 12, 13, 19, 20, 23, 24

MASK will also be at 1 Market at Steurt in the Justin Herman Plaza by the Ferry Building in San Francisco the following dates:
