However, no glass bottles will be allowed. For more information, call SDCC, 862-5122. Joe’s Café, located at Christman Art Studio, 6016 Kingsbury, just west of the SDCC office, is artist-neighbor Bill Christman’s experiment in entertainment, providing a place for neighbors to meet and relax by turning his studio into Joe’s Cafe one night a week.
On Thursdays beginning at 8pm, neighbors are invited to bring themselves and their refreshments to the Cafe to hear acoustic music and get to know each other better. Everyone kicks in a little for the musicians. It’s a pleasant, inexpensive interlude close to home. Bill welcomes children and dogs (behaved of course).
