This show is going to be filmed and in part featured in the documentary House of Legends!

Be there! It’s not every day you can hang out in The Westerfeld House; it’s not every day you can hang with all these heroes at once. Across from the Painted Ladies, the mansion is located at the northwest corner of Alamo Square.

Lagunitas will be in the house and we might have another surprise or two, so bring your wallets and leave everything else at home. Except whatever you take pictures with: every inch of this building is worthy of capture, and we hope to make every second the same. As always, admission to this show will be $5.




*Once owned and operated by Rolling Stones co-founder Charles Fraccia and experimental film genius Kenneth Anger as a studio and crash pad for the likes of The Grateful Dead and Beat artists such as Lenore Kandel, Ken Kesey, Janis Joplin; The Cockettes; Fillmore jazz legend John Handy; occultist and author of The Satanic Bible Anton LaVey… Tom Wolfe called it “a great shambling old Gothic house, a freaking decayed giant, known as The Russian Embassy” in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test; it was home to Bobbie Beausoleil of The Manson Family, who, with Anger, is sworn to have experienced “a couple of very good flying saucer sightings” from the tower; there has been at least one murder in the house… In short, yes, there is an outrageous, even mystical energy to this place and a cultural legacy we are privileged to be a part of.
