Magick Lantern’s Film June 10 – Arrangirasi…pizza and the art of living (2017)
2023-06-10 19:30 - 21:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Methodist Church of Pt Richmond, 201 West Martina Street, Richmond, CA, 94801, United States

Arrangiarsi…pizza and the art of living (2017)
English/Italian subtitles
Documentary
Looking for the meaning of life, Naples-style.
REVIEW by
stjo-9366420 June 2017
Troncone, a San Francisco native, is of Neapolitan extraction, and after an epiphany into his deep emotional connection with the land of his forebears, he embarks on a personal and at times quixotic pilgrimage to explore what it means to live life like a true Neapolitan, embracing the Naples spirit of making the most of the situations life hands you (the arrangiarsi of the title), documenting his sometimes arduous personal journey along the way.
The result is a fascinating blend of three constantly intertwining themes: an alternative and partisan history of southern Italy, which served as a welcome counterpoint to the conventional narrative; an unabashed celebration of the divine creation that is true pizza Napolitano and the labor involved in its deceptively simple ingredients (if you’ve never seen a self-massaging buffalo, well you’re in luck); and above all Troncone’s own pilgrim’s progress in his quest for spiritual balance through acceptance of his ancestral and internal north-south divide. The conclusion is deeply satisfying and packs a surprising emotional wallop.
Tickets $15 on-line or Cash at the door.
Volunteers see the film for free! Memberships available for cost savings! www.magicklantern.org Every 2nd Saturday.

Richmond’s Own Grammy Nominated Andre Thierry at Baltic Kiss
2023-06-03 20:00 - 23:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Baltic Kiss, 135 Park Place, Richmond, CA, 94801, United States
Richmond’s Own, Grammy Nominated, Andre Thierry plays the Baltic Kiss! Come play wit’ us!

Although born and raised in Richmond, California, Andre’s French-Kreole heritage is deeply rooted in Louisiana. He embarked on a path with specific knowledge and extraordinary talents at a very young age. True to his culture and love of music, he has crafted a career well beyond his years as an artist.
Andre grew up experiencing the French Kreole (La-La) dances his grandparents held at their church parish, St. Mark’s Catholic Church. The best Zydeco musicians Louisiana had to offer traveled to California to play at these dances. The exposure allowed him to develop his love for traditional French Kreole music. Andre regularly played with visiting bands, such as the late John Delafose and many local Zydeco and Cajun bands, including the late Danny Poullard (California Cajun Orchestra). By age twelve, Andre formed his band, “Zydeco Magic.” Andre is self-taught and constantly increases his repertoire.
In his 30’s, he had already been deemed a legend. There is widespread agreement that he is an exceptional, multi-dimensional musician with a finely honed ability to merge his accordions with musical mastery.

Dating back to the inaugural year of the organization, the Scholar Celebration has served as the Richmond Promise’s largest event and a tradition that welcomes the newest cohort of Richmond youth to a community of local degree and certificate seekers who are supported through a multi-year scholarship and wraparound services. This year’s Scholar Celebration will honor over 400 new Richmond Promise scholarship recipients who will begin their higher education journeys this fall semester.
Richmond Promise will energize our new scholars by transforming Richmond Civic Center Plaza into a thriving college quad. The outdoor event will feature booths hosted by local colleges and universities, including U.C. Berkeley, Contra Costa College, Berkeley City College, Diablo Valley College, San Francisco State University, and more.

We’ve heard from owners, Blanca Zepedalomeli and Juvenal Magaña, that renovations are progressing and we can’t wait to see the updates.
The Point Richmond Business Association board is also working on planning a Fall Fest street fair extravaganza for late October. We look forward to bringing back many of the features we had last time which included bands, a pumpkin patch, vendor booths, restaurant booths, a video game truck, dance presentations and more. The Fall Fest is a fundraiser that generates funds for local non-profits including the Washington School PTA.
Lots of new ideas have been floated such as recognizing the Point’s historical district with period costumes and a parade of period cars.
If you would like to join the Fall Fest planning committee, please reach out to Wyvonne Brown at bbnhair@gmail.com.
