The Alley has a grand piano, but normally it has a permanent resident taking requests. Patrons put in requests to sing along to classics accompanied by the pianist. It's a piano bar, but quite a unique place as it's far from posh. Even though I live within walking distance, I've only ever gone one time, so I don't know if they have special nights where other folks can tickle the ivories.

This all sounds rather excellent... although rather inconvenient for UK dwellers like myself. I'll guess I'll have to wait for a different T-shirt opportunity. :/ What is this meeting with Google about anyways? Is it top secret? I assume TC/SC are just visiting the US for a short while? You guys are based in England or Wales or summat right? I know SC loves F1 so he must be English.  Anyways... take lots of pics, I want to see Cerb inebriated.

Createure, I think it's some sort of HTML 5 conference.
And thanks for the awesome tips! I hope y'all are planning to come!

I don't know about the schedule... I have been there both when there is a piano player and when there isn't...
Do you remember the parking attendant under the freeway there (across from the Grand Lake Theater)? I used to carpool a lot, and they used to pay someone to direct traffic under the freeway. Anyway, the guy they hired was an opera singer, and he would sing all morning while directing traffic. And the acoustics under the freeway were really cool!
I'm telling you this because HE used to be the guy that played the grand at The Alley. But I haven't seen him in a long time.... though to own the complete truth I don't have time to go out very often anymore. :D

Hmm. I used to casual carpool under the freeway there and no one was directing traffic, but that was well over 10 yrs ago. The regular pianist/singer is Rod Dibble, who's been at it for 50 years at The Alley.

Anyone know the owners well enough to explore whether we could let Stormcrow and Garthen turns at the piano? We can provide tapes to demonstrate their ability!

Y'know, I still have somewhat of a name in certain circles around SF as a pianist. Depending on the venue, I may be able to provide some references..or, I can also go in and talk to an owner/manager beforehand, assuming I get up to SF before Nov. 3rd.
