Somehow there is a false notion out there that Puff’n’sip is all about puffy clouds, sunshine, whiskey rivers, and other remarkable but selfish things. It’s not. And I know you all are eager to prove that love is the answer and you so do care. Here is where you can prove yourselves:

But, seriously… Both events are for a very good cause and your support is much needed and appreciate.

There is nothing more relaxing than watching clouds. Seriously, that one above the bridge looks so like a puppy. Very happy puppy to that. So frisky and innocent. And that one looks like an elephant.. How fun! Today is the perfect day for cloud-spotting…
But clouds aside, Puff’n’sip is on!

Today’s, April 23, 2007 Puff’n’sip will start @

5:05 PM  @ Sense, 4 Embarcadero Center (@Justin Hermann Plaza)
and flow @
6:59 PM  to  Cigar Bar and Grill, 850 Montgomery (@ Jackson)

Lotsa love,
Stas.

Before we rush off and resolve to our day-to-day lives, I’d like to pause, take a moment, linger for awhile… That’s it, slow and funky. “The desired effect is what you get when you improve your Interplanetary Funksmanship.” Nice. I could have not said better…

Well, it was sure nice for me. Thank you all for your support and donations! Thanks to everyone who showed up to the show and cheered me on. Altogether the Funk Master competition raised over $25K for R.O.C.K. (it was for kids!), and that’s huge. And even thought I didn’t win the crown – I came in not-even-close second – I was deeply moved by your support and am so very happy.
Thank you!

And just one more for the road:

“Yeah, I dig!
Let me put my sunglasses on.
That’s the law around here, you got to wear your sunglasses.
So you can feel cool…”

Stay funky!
Stas

It’s actually three. Spring and all that comes with it – sun, blue skies, relaxed attitude, – Puff’n’sip, and all kinds of love. It’s lovely out today, and I was so worried that we will skip spring here in SF and go straight to summer. 8 months of cold, rain and fog is like being thrown back all the way to my childhood. Which brings us to love – I was loved as a child, very much so, and despite of the cold weather.

More on love – I thank all of you who contributed to the Master of Funk. I feel your love and it means a lot to me. Thank you!

But to business.: Puff’n’sip is on, and today’s, April 9, 2008, Puff’n’sip will start shortly @

5:11 PM @ Zebulon, 93 Natoma (@ 2nd)

And will proceed @

6:59 PM to Cigar Bar and Grill, 850 Montgomery (@ Jackson)

Lotsa love,
Stas.

This is very simple – I need you to show some love and step up to this challenge. All you have to do is go to this site and put in $10 (or more!). Or buy a ticket and go to the show. The info about the event is below (food, drink specials, silent auctions, raffle, DJ, and a great funk band all present). 

Why? Why you ask? That’s simple too: 
- Love IS the answer
- It’s for the kids who deserve to know more love 
- It will make me so very much happy 
Yes, sometimes simply knowing is just not enough. That’s why I am asking you to give. Then I will know that everything I know is true – you all are sweet and wonderful and I AM the Master of Funk! 
Do give. See you all at the Rockit Room.
