Just when I thought I had heard of all the neighborhood associations in the Richmond District… The Outer Richmond Benevolent Society (ORBS for short) is hosting a Neighborhood Party this Saturday.
From their flyer that was posted at Angelina’s: “ORBS is an unofficial, unorganized, loosely-related group of people who bring friendship and good cheer to the neighborhood of 22nd Avenue and California. You know who you are. Now is your chance to get to know your neighbors and bring the kids!”
Since I frequent Angelina’s, I suppose this makes me an honorary ORBS member? 🙂 If you fall into this category or just want to check out the event, there will be lots of fun stuff, especially for kids. The flyer advertises music, games, cakewalk, face painting, pinata and ping pong. DJ Peter from the Spinheads will be there to hold down the groove and make occasional calls for the bunnyhop, macarena and other “gee, I didn’t know my neighbor could move like that!” moments.
This neighborhood party is a potluck so if you do attend, please bring food to share such as meat, fish or veggies to BBQ (there will be grills set up at the event), or salads, sides, desserts – you get the idea. And they suggest bringing chairs or a blanket to sit on as well though some will be provided.

Oh and be careful with that pinata! You wouldn’t want to end up on America’s Funniest Home Videos like these poor (but really funny) people:
