Fuck the County of Alameda
Thursday, October 9, 2008
A few months back I got a ticket for stopping at the corner of 14th and Broadway to pick up my cousins from out of town. They were drunk, returning from a wedding reception, and knew nothing of Oakland. I couldn’t call them to say “Hey, here I am,” or anything like that, because I [...]
Berkeley/Oakland Trolly
Sunday, September 21, 2008
We went to Ardenwood Farms a few weeks ago for the train festival. Lots of model trains and the like, but I was most jazzed to see this old trolly care from the East Bay’s former trolly system. If you’ve ever seen Roger Rabbit, that’s exactly what happened to this mass transit system: GM bought [...]
Box of Carts from Laney Swap Meet
Monday, June 30, 2008
Hit my favorite flea market this past Sunday at Laney college in Oakland. While I didn’t score anything amazing, I did get a legal box full of carts for $30. The guy wanted $50, but I walked away, and by the time I was 2 booths down, he was shouting “$30!” All of the above [...]

It’s the only genetic strain still existing, as it’s a cutting from a single bush in the Presidio, the last of its kind. All the hoo-hah aside, there are Manzanita’s [...]
Burger King Savior
Monday, May 12, 2008
I normally hate fast food. But EA had shitty food at its event tonight, and I needed something to absorb the liquor when I got home to Oakland. So I wandered into the Burger King at 13th and Broadway for a chicken sandwich. I had the hiccups. No sooner had I ordered, than Doris, the [...]
Heinold’s 125th Anniversary Party!
Monday, April 28, 2008
Heinold’s First and Last and Last Chance Saloon is turning 125 years old on June Sunday 1st. In honor of this historic occasion, you can drink nickel beer from noon until someone calls the cops. No fooling! In case you didn’t know, Alameda Island was dry back in the day. 1880′s, you see. As such, [...]

Does anyone in the Bay Area want to meet before the flea market? I think a group of collectors could make a great bunch to have coffee with. Comment here if yer into it tomorrow morning!
