What: Memorial to David T. Warren
When: Saturday, January 2, 2010
David T. Warren died this time last year (January 2, 2009) but his friends only found out about his death during the Summer. As a tribute to the man of many paradoxes, many of his friends are having a memorial/celebration of his life this Saturday (January 2) at a place Dave himself contributed to
Playland-Not-At-The-Beach
10979 San Pablo Ave.
El Cerrito, CA
(510) 592-3002
The memorial gathering is at 2pm. It is a carnivalesque potluck so bring food, snacks and beverages. Dress in a festive manner -- put the "fun" back in "funeral." We will have music, magic and film clips featuring Dave, as well as some of his many spiral notebooks filled with thoughts and ideas. There will be stories galore as Dave's life was so colorful.

The location is 5 blocks from the Del Norte BART station.
This is an amazing museum of Playland, amusement park and circus memorabilia run by Richard Tuck and friends. Since Dave in his later years worked on the exhibits, it strikes his friends as the perfect venue to send David Warren off in style.
