This Friday, December 10, the one and only Kina Grannis will be performing at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. The Manila Machine was fortunate enough to be invited to the show, so we’ll be parked outside the El Rey and serving our regular menu–SoCal’s most authentic and extensive Filipino menu on four wheels. And to make the night even awesomer (yes, awesomer), we’re bringing our buddies The Boba Truck along with us.

Admission to Kina’s show is $15, and tickets are available online at the El Rey website. Tickets will also be available at the door on the night of the show. So come on down to the El Rey on Friday, December 10 for a great night of food and music.

And if that poster above isn’t enough for all you Kinerds out there (we see you), check out Kina’s latest video post where she gives a shout out to The Manila Machine:

OK, one more video for all of Kina’s fans:
