The Tikva Records pop-up shop opened on Mission Street last night, celebrating the event with a lovely opening party. Its a cool little venue, with a record store and listening area up front, a small room for viewing videos, and a cozy room in back for kibitzing.

The old saw — decades out of date, no doubt, but still — is that Christian weddings had lots to drink but crappy food; Jewish weddings had great food but nothing to drink.
