Jazz, yoga, wine, a Giant, a house tour. What more could you want?
This weekend, drink wine to benefit the Alameda Education Foundation, take a tour of the historic Meyers House Museum, check out great jazz at a new venue in Oakland's Jingletown (just across the Park Street bridge), take your yoga practice further, and if you're a fan of the San Francisco Giants and Tim Lincecum, you'll want to stop by Books Inc. for a very special event.
