Thursday, Nov. 30, hop the J-Church or a bus (the 23, 35, 36, 44 or 52) to Glen Park in time for the 7pm start of the event for “Muni is My Ride.” You can find the bus/streetcar schedules at sfmta.org. If you pay cash for the book, show your Clipper Card for a 10% discount! But CASH only to get the discount (unlike Muni)! This one is a free event; and refreshments are provided, and no reservations needed! That said, if you need a seat because of mobility and such issues, do please call ahead!
More fun than you can shake a stick at!
Grab a plane to SFO and hop BART to the shop. Or better yet, check in at your hotel first, and ride a Muni bus or streetcar out to the bookshop. The J-Church, running from the Embarcadero out to Balboa Park, near City College, is a lovely ride, and the Muni operator can surely let you know when you’ve reached your destination in Glen Park.
Muni is always the thing when you’re bopping around Frisco!
Adults! For our concerts, if you bring a twenty and something to sip, you’ll generally be fine! You can call to inquire about a reservation – 415-586-3733. Feel free to do so! Sometimes necessary, often not. It all depends. We stream most of our shows, complete or in parts, so check out the video screen at the top of this web page and you’ll have a leg up on that. Believe music should be free? Don’t! These are top-flight professional musicians who expect to be paid when they appear at Bird & Beckett, and pay them we do. With YOUR help!
Come browse the books six days a week noon to 6pm. Some browsing might happen during the shows, but that’s not the best time for that lovely activity. Optimize!
Happy Holidays!

The Independent Musicians Alliance
Gigging musicians! You have nothing to lose but your lack of a collective voice to achieve fair wages for your work!
The IMA can be a conduit for you, if you join in to make it work.
