British Isles Transient Communication HateradEorS ROLLCALL!

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 21:22 (nineteen years ago) link

one month passes...

My brother does not seem interested in the prospect of exploring the East Bay. :(

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Also - he wants to go and see Electrelane. TWICE. :( :(

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:56 (nineteen years ago) link

what would you realy show him in oakland though? I like Oakland but it's not very fascinating to a visitor, I don't think. It's charms are revealed over time to people who live here. You should take him to the Ruby Room or RADIO though because it is all indie and shit there and that's all he cares about.

make him take BART to fremont and leave him there if you're feeling antagonistic.

I have not been to the Oaks, but I'd totally check it out next time I'm up there.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link

I really miss walking down to the Piedmont Ave Barney's on Sunday with my NYTimes....

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:28 (nineteen years ago) link

move back!

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:30 (nineteen years ago) link

I have set myself a salary amount that would lure me back to the Bay Area. Who knows. The main reason that I would move back, has moved on :(

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:32 (nineteen years ago) link

boo on her!

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I've been to the Oaks Card Club a bunch of times. It's fun, but it's hard to win money (plus you have to pay for time.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:34 (nineteen years ago) link

But wait NOT that Oak's Card Club?!?! Did they totally remodel it or something? Or is there another one in Emeryville all the sudden?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh wait that green building just has an ad, it's not the club. Okay nevermind.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I couldn't find a picture of the building, just an ad.

― Howard Wine (nordicskilla), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:46 (nineteen years ago) link

The hofbrau is good btw (it's no Tommy's Joint, but really what is.) I imagine the tournaments could be fun too (but they tend to have re-buys which kind of suck.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:51 (nineteen years ago) link

I was just in the Hofbrau an hour ago.

― Howard Wine (nordicskilla), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:52 (nineteen years ago) link

What is Tommy's Joint?

― Howard Wine (nordicskilla), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Delicious.

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:53 (nineteen years ago) link

It's a bar/hofbrau on Van Ness and Geary. It's quite good and they have an amazing (and shockingly cheap) selection of imported beers.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 8 October 2004 20:54 (nineteen years ago) link

and cool illustrations all over the outside walls.

i've never been in though

― JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 8 October 2004 21:31 (nineteen years ago) link

I went to Tommy's once but it was PACKED and so we left, sadly. It looked like fun inside.

The Gingerbread House... I've never been there; I think they have super weird hours, like "Every other Thurs from 3-8pm" or something...

-- andy (and...), January 28th, 2004.

Andy, I am thinking about going this weekend. Any dishes that you would recommend?

Oh wait, you've NEVER been there. Forget it, then!

― charltonlido (gareth), Monday, 3 January 2005 00:13 (nineteen years ago) link

that diner has a train. that's kind of the only thing I really like about it though.

― kyle (akmonday), Monday, 3 January 2005 01:09 (nineteen years ago) link

That's pretty much the only thing to like about it.

A friend of ours who owns a house in West Oakland heard gunshots last month and later found out there was a shooting in the house over the street. Then a week later, they heard gunshots in the house NEXT DOOR and it turns out that a 15 year-old girl had witnessed the first shooting, so they broke into her house and shot her through the hand and the foot in retaliation.

He's thinking of selling.

― Airtube (nordicskilla), Friday, 1 April 2005 20:44 (nineteen years ago) link

That's a weird way of retaliating. I would think KILLING her would be a more effective way of preventing further witnessing on her part. Of course I am no expert.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 1 April 2005 20:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Really?
