Eight Sleep takes over Levi's Plaza

Eight Sleep is bringing its House of Sleep to Levi's Plaza on September 26 and 27, the first place to buy the brand-new Pod 6 in person. Pod 6 is the smallest, most advanced Pod yet, at the lowest starting price in company history. There is a limited supply of Pod 6s available on-site to take home the same day, plus a giveaway for a brand-new Pod 6 to one lucky winner who attends the event.

The Pod is a smart mattress cover that cools or heats each side of the bed from 55°F to 110°F and tracks heart rate, HRV, and sleep stages with no wearable. Try Pod 6 in person, meet the team behind it, and skip the shipping wait by walking out with one the same day.

Doors open at 9am each day and run until sold out, so don't miss out! See you at Levi's Plaza.

Sunday, September 27

The 1941 roadhouse on the Nicasio town square throws itself a fan appreciation day. The live music lineup is a surprise. Music starts at 3pm, $25.

Raw and baked oysters, live music, a bocce tournament, and mahjong lessons at Dunphy Park, all supporting the Community Boating Center’s free public docks and youth programs. Noon-3pm, free entry, food for purchase.

A roaming tasting party through the Marin Art and Garden Center, with local chefs, wineries, botanical cocktails, and live music, ending with dessert at candlelit tables. 5-8pm, $300 fundraiser tickets required by 9/24.

Walk into the ground floor of the historic Cheda Building on the corner of San Anselmo Ave and you'll find a long, skinny cocktail lounge. It comes from the same friends behind Stillwater in Fairfax. It started out as Voyage, a natural wine bar, then rebranded as Bar Voyage. In their words, “cocktails were the missing piece.”

Early in the evening, it feels less loungey. Food by Sam's Sonoran: griddled Sonoran-style burritos stuffed with things like chile verde pork and Hatch chiles, plus nachos and salads. But later in the evening, the lights turn down and the music up. Open 3-10pm Tuesday through Saturday.

Last night we had our Marin Buzz Dinner Club afterparty there — for the second time.

Kai is our cattle dog heeler, rescued from Tucson, Arizona and lives her best life keeping the wildlife out of our yard and forever warming our hearts.
