Sorry to everyone who came to the AYCE yesterday. The chili was not cooked enough. We sometimes suck at cooking beans. We now know how to cook beans so don't be worried, all future Che beans will be thoroughly cooked. Sometimes we are making this up as we go and we want to thank all people who come to the AYCE's for sticking through it with us. We know that every once in a great while there is an AYCE that goes horribly wrong, but we think that as of late, they've been damn good mostly. So don't be scared, come back and have a good time eating with us, or better yet, come and cook and eat with us. Maybe your added knowledge will help us not mess up. Who knows, you could save the Che AYCE!

Just in case you needed another reason to boycott the Bejing Olympics, Rebuilding the Rights of Statues and Hedgehog, two of China's most exciting bands that were scheduled to play the Che Cafe on April 17th, were denied their visas. We aplogize for any inconvenience this may cause.
FREE FUCKING PASTA! Come eat free pasta at 5:30-7:00 PM!!! Oh shit, free!!!! Come volunteer at 3PM if you want to help out and get FREE food, oh wait, the food is free this week anyways!!! Oh shit, why would you volunteer then?!?! Oh shit, to be legit and not a fucking poseur! Oh shit, I spelled poser with a "eu" because I'm legit.
There are still a limited number of tickets that will be available at the che cafe on the day of the show at 5:00. hurry because they will go fast. Also there will still be a pre-sale here: Che Cafe ( Friday 02-22-08 from 8:00-11:00 p.m.) tickets are $8 and are available for pre sale on these dates and a few at the door on the day of the show at 5:00 p.m.
We have reserved a small number of tickets to sell at the door on Saturday, January 19th. They'll go fast, so show up early. Doors open at 6:30. However, the Che never opens a door without closing a window.
It's our first All You Can Eat dinner of the Winter Quarter, and the first AYCE is always free pasta (donations welcome). Come help cook at 3PM or come eat between 5:30 and 7PM. We could always use help cleaning, afterward and throughout the cooking and sharing portions, as well. Also, you're invited to stay for our Che Collective meeting at 8:30PM (every Thursday), and we can always use help planning future All You Can Eats. It's all done by volunteers!
Damo Suzuki of the legendary Krautrock group CAN will be performing at the Che with a supporting band of local musicians. The group will be comprised of:
Rafter Roberts (Bunky, Rafter) - electronics
Dan Wise (Kil Me Tomorrow) - Guitar
Andy Robillard (GoGoGo Airheart) - Drums
David Wightman (Powdered Wigs) - Bass
Topher (SKU*Modal) - Woodwinds
and visiting guest
Tommy Grenas (long time Damo collaborator)
An opening set by Riververb will kick things off at 9PM, doors at 8PM. Tickets will be sold on a strict first come, first served basis.
A bipartisan coalition of Federal officials has sabotaged our AYCE plans by calling for a "major holiday" on the 4th Thursday of November. Seem like an odd choice of date? We think so, too. It's just a little too coincidental that we happened to be planning to have pizza at our All You Can Eat dinner, and now they're suddenly inventing some bogus "holiday" devoted to "giving thanks." Clearly, it's a plot. What country has a holiday to give thanks? A country wholly committed to thwarting the greatest AYCE dinner ever. That kind of country. Yeah, no AYCE on November 20th, but there will be pizza on November 27th. Also, a film called The Root of All Evil.
The US government started these fires to stop us from sharingvegan food and watching interesting videos. The whole UCSD campus is closed (see www.ucsd.edu for details). The Che is not in danger, but the air is smoky, so we're cancelling the events scheduled for Tuesday, October 23rd. We have no cancelled any other events at this point, so don't assume the meeting on Thursday and the Gabnet event on Friday aren't happening. Check back for further updates.
Thanks to the dedication of inumerable Che volunteers over the past few years, we have successfully completed all the necessary maintenance to have our kitchen open. On Thursday, October 4th, we received a grade of A on our health inspection, so we shall have All You Can Eat vegan dinners starting Tuesday, October 9th and each Tuesday thereafter until the end of the quarter. Next week (October 9th) will be free pasta, 5-7PM. Come at 3Pm if you want to help cook. Volunteers always eat free.
You may have noticed that our kitchen has been closed for a long time. That's because the health inspectors started cracking down on some major maintenance issues within the past few years, and we just haven't had the wherewithal to take care of all of it (lots of money, time, and effort), but now we're ready. The health inspector is coming on Thursday, October 3rd at 4PM, and we're ready except that we should do a quick, thorough cleaning before he arrives. Whether or not we have All You Can Eat vegan dinners this fall is entirely contingent upon this, so if you want to help out and make sure it happens, please come help clean and bring a friend. We'll be here at noon, and the more help, the better things will go.
