The Walrus Report started as a way to talk about what's coming up — not just dates and venues, but the full context. Who's playing. Where we're going. What we learned from the last boil. What we're cooking next.

It's part event guide, part culture dispatch, part whatever Aaron felt like writing about that week. Subscribers get first access to tickets, tables, and anything else that fills up fast. There's no set schedule. We publish when there's something worth saying.

Vol. 0  ·  Inaugural Issue

Welcome to the Club — Summer 2026

June 2026

The first edition. An introduction to what Second Line Pleasure Club is, why it exists, and what's coming up across the Bay and Sacramento this summer. Plus a full rundown of the June and July event calendar with bands, venues, and all the details you need to show up hungry and ready.

Vol. 0 covers our first full season — eleven boils across seven venues, from Pacifica to Sacramento, featuring zydeco, brass, funk, jazz, and a whole lot of crawfish. It's where the experiment began.
