<p>Penny Arcade<br>
Make-Out Room<br>
3225 22nd St, SF<br>
Tonight, 9pm, $6</p>

<p>If you can't make it tonight, the next few months' events are July 19th, August 15th, and September 27th, all at the Make Out Room.</p>

<p>Upon reading Raul's answers below, we find ourselves left with a hankering for margaritas, more local history, and of course, lots more music...  </p>

<p><strong>What's been the most stand-out Penny Arcade show so far?<br>
</strong>Ooh, hard to say.  They’ve all had their own unique moments of radness.  The 1 Year Anniversary Party with The Papercuts was awesome. The Sugar &amp; Gold gig was nuts. LSD and The Search for God were pretty cosmic…But I’d have to say the first one in 2005 still resonates in my mind quite a bit.  I can’t believe it’s been 2 years…We had the Bellyachers, Loquat, Patrick Abernethy, the Junior Panthers, Pat Johnson, and Nathan Moomaw perform…6 acts!…My pal Greg Morantz was DJing…I don’t think anyone went on stage sober…including myself. <em>(We can vouch for that! -- SFist Leanne)</em></p>

<p><strong>If Penny Arcade could transcend space and time, what would be your ultimate line-up of all time?</strong><br>
Aw man…lets see…Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem - you know the “Muppet Rock band”, The Banana Splits, The Monkees, and Fat Albert’s band…alright we’ll throw in Billy Bragg to politicize it a bit…hmm no.  Ok…Seriously?  I’d have to say Woody Guthrie, Silvio Rodriguez, Big Star and George Harrison.  </p>

<p><strong>Got any crazy stories that happened during Penny Arcade?</strong><br>
Pat Johnson was scheduled to play solo, but recruited enough musicians in the audience to play with a full backing band…even the sound engineer/musician, Chris von Sneidern, got into the action playing bass…rad times indeed. <em>(Yep, that was awesome! -- SFist Leanne)</em></p>

<p><em>Lots more after the jump!</em></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
