In much of the world, tea is an everyday beverage, whether you’re slurping boba on the go or settling into a steaming cup of chai. And if the growing presence of eclectic tea shops here in the Bay Area is any clue, tea may soon give coffee a run for its caffeine. Overall, tea in the United States is shifting from the upraised-pinky demographic to a more mainstream sip, says Victoria Boyert, a certified tea specialist and owner of Saratoga’s Tipping Pot by Satori Tea Co. “Tea is the perfect conduit to connect,” Boyert says. Between the steeping of tea leaves and the sheer ritual of it, tea “is naturally slower paced than coffee. So tea is the perfect counterpart to the modern age.”.

“We’ve known the two men for eight years, ever since we started using the VPAT for performances,” Forrest-Stokes said. Two days after authorities notified VPAT of its investigation, Wade was terminated by Venue Tech. On July 18, Wade was arrested and posted bail ($25,000) the following day. When reached Saturday, Wade declined to comment on the investigation. McPike was placed on temporary administrative leave the day Wade was terminated but was subsequently fired July 15 due to further findings in the investigation. McPike was arrested on July 27 for possession of child pornography with bail set at $25,000.

Catch the rest of Belle and Sebastian, especially since A Tribe Called Quest was rescheduled for Saturday, then take a breather and grab dinner. At this point, we’re thinking Malaysian chicken curry nachos from Azalina’s. If there’s time, maybe go catch a indie-folk song or two by the Fleet Foxes, performing 7:10-8:20 p.m. at Sutro. 8 p.m.-closing. Don’t monkey around. Just make plans to hang with the Gorillaz, the multiplatinum alt-rock act led by Damon Albarn. We just can’t wait to see what this “virtual band” — touring in support of this year’s “Humanz” — has in store for the Outside Lands faithful when it headlines the Lands End Stage from 8:05 to 9:55 p.m. We also like alt-J, which headlines the Twin Peaks Stage at 8:40 p.m. But not enough to miss any of the Gorillaz.
