When:
Monday August 4th, 2008, 8:00pm
Where:
Temple, 540 Howard St, San Francisco, CA, 94105
Price:
$25 - includes a berry and a buffet of regular everyday food items that we have curated to showcase the transformative power of the fruit. Everything from lemons, to cheeses to beer to other things you may not expect.
A berry should give you a trip of one to two hours.
How:
Miracle Fruit (Sideroxylon dulcificum) a cranberry-sized West African berry that that numbs your sour and bitter tastebuds for a couple of hours after eating it. That means that everything that used to taste sour now tastes sweet. Fo’ reals. It’s like a candy Willy Wonka would have invented – after eating one stout beers taste like chocolate milkshakes, grapefruits taste like pixie sticks, cheeses taste like frosting, it will make even the crappiest tequila taste like lemonade (and strangely enough, it will make all wine taste like Manischewitz).
Who:
Organized by Mustache Commander and Supreme Commander of the Shadow Government, and leaders of watergun assassins throughout the world.
All the tastes, none of the waste:
This will be a zero waste event. Everything will be recycled and/or composted at the end of the event.
