Tippet and the Angels: Thanksgiving Boy Howdy!


okay, okay, Phil Tippett- sir animation himself- crafts deftly movement endowed imagery here in our neighborhood in West Berekeley- meanwhile Hell's Angels' Sonny Barger has breezed around the way a few times on his blue saddle-boxed hog...reminding me that there's only one Bay Area.
And we're all about it.



from C.W. Nevius in today's SF Chronicle...
"On Wednesday, the local chapter of the motorcycle gang will be downtown at St. Anthony Foundation, helping the faith-based dining room prepare for its annual free Thanksgiving dinner. Are you sensing a photo op?

This all came about because, although St. Anthony's has a large and enthusiastic group of volunteers, slicing up hundreds of turkeys takes some serious elbow grease. Trying to think of an organization with muscular guys who wouldn't mind doing some carving, someone suggested the Hells Angels.

"When we reached out to get some help carving turkeys this Thanksgiving, the Hells Angels stepped up immediately and graciously," said St. Anthony's media manger, Francis Aviani.

But the dinner is still short about 1,000 pounds of turkey. If you'd like to contribute, St. Anthony's has curbside drop-off beginning at 8 a.m."



Happy Thanksgiving to you and Yours
