Win Tickets to California Academy of Sciences Earthquake Premiere Party!

Add your comment

Party like it’s 1906! Be the first to experience the California Academy of Science's brand new exhibit and planetarium show.

Travel back to a time when San Francisco, the ‘Paris of America,’ was the largest port city in the west—rich in gold, industry and culture, full of excitement, grit, beauty and mischief—and be the first to see the brand new Earthquake exhibit and planetarium show at the California Academy of Sciences.  Experience a taste of the seedy Barbary Coast brought to life through variety shows, art installations, roving characters and live music provided by the Vau de Vire Society. Feel the awesome power of the Great Quake in an earthquake simulator, try a Pisco Punch or Martinez cocktail, and then dance the night away to the old–timey sounds of the Sour Mash Hug Band.

Sounds like something you'd be in to? Of course it does! Lucky for you, we have a pair of Premiere Party tickets, which include access to the Earthquake exhibit, planetarium show, and two complimentary drinks!

If anything, the band has never sounded more excited to experiment with textures, words, sounds and even the process of recording itself.

So, want to see them live at The Fox in Oakland on Thursday, May 10? We know you do! And we've got tickets!
