At 8:30 p.m. Sunday, I'd like to invite you to the other side of the bridge. I know, I want our Oakland dollars spent in Oakland, too. But freaking amazing things are happening in San Francisco, at Bollywood Cafe!

Oakland-based dance group Turf Feinz and the french dance duo Les Twins are performing. Plus, this show is sponsored by YAK films. Now do you understand?

Bollywood Cafe is at 3376 19th St. in San Franciso.
