Signs of life have emerged at the former Vladimir’s Czech Restaurant, the Inverness institution whose doors have been shut for three years, depriving the village of a place where you could grab a pilsner, a bowl of goulash and conversation. The Good Luck Fund, the nonprofit foundation that purchased the building last year, is continuing to search for a long-term occupant. Meanwhile, it is working with a community arts organizer to host special events and inject some vibrancy into a corner of West Marin where the lights go dim as soon as the sun goes down. “We’re reactivating the space, just like we did with the Old Station House, and opening it up for events to get some energy in there again,” said Heather Mickley, the Good Luck Fund’s director of community and development. “We’re willing to open it up for nonprofits that are planning meetings or events.” On Sunday, Vladimir’s will host a “Vladentine’s Dinner” featuring a local string quartet and a four-course meal whipped up by chef Dave Cook that will elevate the Czech cuisine that made Vladimir’s Vladimir’s. A sommelier will do wine pairings. The candlelight event is organized by arts maven Sharron Drake, who will perform with the quartet that will serenade diners with a mix of pop tunes, show tunes and classical pieces. “I’m thrilled to be able to use this space,” said Ms. Drake, who plays violin. “I have so many fond memories of being in Vladimir’s. There’s an exotic, old-world vibe to the place that just can’t be replicated.” She has especially fond memories of the informal Thursday night jam sessions that brought an eclectic mix of players to the space, where she once had the pleasure of playing with Peter Rowan of Old and In the Way. Ms. Drake organized a recent Burns Night celebration at Vladmir’s, where an overflow crowd paid homage to the Scottish poet and enjoyed a traditional meal of haggis, neeps and tatties. (Haggis, if you didn’t know, is a savory Scottish pudding whose ingredients sound disgusting but whose adherents insist taste good.) Also in January, the Point Reyes Reality Investigation Center held its second High Castle Dinner Club meeting at Vladimir’s. Among the guests of honor was Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan, who demonstrated her concept of “luminous blindfold vision,” in which a person identifies objects while blindfolded. Also appearing was Mark Pesce, an inventor, writer, entrepreneur, educator and broadcaster who spoke about his recent experience toggling between parallel dimensions.
