sounds like Amoeba is not long for the world:http://m.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/can-legal-weed-save-the-music-industry/Content?oid=4526932
was wondering how they were managing to hang on with what must be huge overhead at those stores
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 7 October 2015 22:48 (eight years ago) link
the Berkeley store has cut its hours in the past few years. I'm guessing the SF store does better because of the Haight St. tourists and general foot traffic, whereas Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley is not what it used to be in that department
― sarahell, Wednesday, 7 October 2015 22:54 (eight years ago) link
LA store was doing well last I heard.
Really tough to convince a townie to go to Telegraph these days ime
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 7 October 2015 22:57 (eight years ago) link
Imagine how weird it will be ... go grab tacos at Sinaloa, head down to Rasputin for an ice cream, and then over to Amoeba for some indica. Nice little day out on the town.

otoh the parking situation in the evening there is way easier than it used to be

I haven't been to Telegraph in years and they don't mention that the other stores are doing badly so yeah idk
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 7 October 2015 23:08 (eight years ago) link
I think rumors about Amoeba going out of business have been around for at least a decade.

the telegraph store these days PALES in comparison to the other two, selection-wise. also that block is totally fucked up. the other street corners on the block are vacant (NE = empty lot; SW = formerly cody's books, vacant for years; NW = building burned down a few years ago, not sure if anything's there yet.)
― brimstead, Wednesday, 7 October 2015 23:40 (eight years ago) link
last I was there -- a few weeks ago (didn't buy anything because they were closing earlier than I'd thought they closed) -- the building that burned down was in the process of being rebuilt. I know the owners of Amoeba had been advocating for having something built in that vacant lot for years, but it actually is owned by the owner of Rasputin's (iirc).
― sarahell, Wednesday, 7 October 2015 23:52 (eight years ago) link
yeah, ken owns it. he's the worst.
the project he has in development for the cody's space is going to be so bad.

In keeping with Rasputin's Russian theme, it would feature a novel take on soviet cuisine. Additionally, he promised a cafe and a venue, with nightly live music of varied genres — except techno — but including rap, as long as it was the conscious, didactic stuff, he explained, citing Tupac Shakur. Furthermore, Sarachan planned on selling media, with particular focus on vinyl records.

Usually free on Sundays...
― schwantz, Friday, 8 January 2016 17:44 (eight years ago) link
Sorry, been busy here (and did get your note, thanks Shakey). Um...let's see. Generally Saturday afternoons are good, though this month only next Saturday is free (and I have to check my schedule for sure).
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 8 January 2016 18:45 (eight years ago) link
This said, Sundays can work too!
sounds like we should shoot for maybe a Sunday next month? I know schwantz and I can't do next Saturday
― Οὖτις, Friday, 8 January 2016 18:48 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, maybe the first weekend of the month. The 7th, I think?
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 8 January 2016 18:51 (eight years ago) link
I think I'm free the 7th

Um that's the Super Bowl, so I'm sure YOU are free. Maybe not me... We could do Super Bowl party at my place for people who don't give that much of a shit...?
