2 Desi Events in SF

Hey Mutineers - sorry I've been MIA the past few weeks but I'm back home for the immediate future and have a few posts queued up

First, TONIGHT, the SF Giants are hosting Indian Heritage night as they battle the Washington Nationals. Now I have no idea what the connecting line is between the two and even if it's just a marketing gimmick, it's still sorta cool. As a bonus, bring a group and you get a saffron-colored "SF Giants" Hindi T-shirt. .

"The evening will proudly reflect the culture and the people of this heritage night, all while enjoying AT&T Park and your SF Giants. Come out for this evening game against the Washington Nationals as we celebrate the Bay Area Indian residents and their families."

Second - Ultrabrown's Manish Vij & I have combined forces with a few other friends, and are dialing in long time mutineer DJ Drrrty Poonjabi to bring down the house this Saturday night -

Where: Paradise Lounge
When: Saturday, May 16, 9pm

The venue - Paradise Lounge - is one of the lesser known ones in SF and is GORGEOUS.

DJDP is a LONG time reader and has graced us with his custom mixes at several meetups. His Diwali Barbie / Anna Tribute is truly SM lore -

And I've been playing his "Papa Kehte / Muppets / Trent Reznor" mix for a few years now -

Muppet Babies / Papa Kehte - DJ Drrrty Poonjabi

This time around, DJDP will be spinning a solid mix of desi + western tunes - a little Bhangra, a little Bollywood, a little Pop, and a little Hip Hop. If you have any music requests, leave 'em in the comments.... oh, and mention "Sepia Mutiny" at the DJ booth and we'll have a little gift for you

I attended the SF Giants desi day last year. Highlights included bhangra performances before the game on the sidelines, watching desi aunties in their best saris and gold walking around, dhol players and desis in the stands having their own party unrelated to the game and confused season ticket holders wondering which parallel desi baseball universe they had just entered.

Cool. There isn't any info on the Paradise Lounge website. Is there a cover?

They actually segregate the Indians into a section in the upper deck. No one else really notices that it is Indian night except for a few announcements during and before the game. Most of the white ticket holders probably think its Cherokee Heritage night or something when they hear the word Indian.

The Giants do this for everyone else, they even have Chinese heritage night even though like over 25% of SF is probably Chinese. They just want to make money any way they can. Sorta a gimmick, as if anyone really cares.

Pictures from the last India day at the Giants game I'm sure it's financially driven but it was noticeable.

Saffron t-shirts with an Aum symbol, eh? It's Indian culture night or Hindu culture night? Note to the Giants, there be a difference.
