2009-08-07 Fox Theatre in Oakland, CA

[klingklang]

Cadevil thank you very much for the info. That whole area was the one hit by the Loma Prieta earthquake, right? I remember all those high rises were desolate for a long time.

TheBang: Wow, that's dedication. I'm only coming from about 300 miles away, so I'm a wimp by comparison. At least you can come into the Oakland airport. If you're not staying with area friends, there are two Marriotts on Broadway I was looking at (the Courtyard Marriott is $35 cheaper than the regular Marriott and they're only a block apart). Usually I stay near the Arena/Coliseum, so that whole downtown area is unknown to me.

Well, I'm in for the Oakland show. Just bought the tickets. Staying with a friend in San Francisco. I'm on the fence about going the Vegas or LA shows though at this point. We'll see.

The Bang, are you flying solo on all three of these shows?

Tix acquired. Heard spectacular things about the newly re-opened Fox Theater.

Anyone know who's opening?

Well, it's a given that if I want to see them, I'll have to fly. And it's going to be $3-400 at a minimum to make it to the West Coast. So if I'm already spending that much, I might as well add some more cities at an incremental cost.

Yeah, my wife thinks UW sounds like a lot of noise, so she'd never come. I'll never be alone with my fellow Dirts there though.

That's awesome, TheBang. Too bad you can't bring your wife just to sight-see (well, except for Inglewood...I don't think there's much going on there unless she likes horse racing at Hollywood Park).

I can't believe my luck! I'm coming over to San Francisco (from Australia) to do a course in August and will be there for this. Perfect timing!

Flying down from Seattle for this one. Going to do a quick trip; fly in the day of, fly out either the night of or morning after. Should be a blast.

Nika,
I could use a ride from/to Mountain View. Are you nearby?
I am willing to pay for gas and/or parking.
