Who says there aren't artsy things to do here?? The lovely Alison and I went to the Oakland Art Murmur last night at a bunch of the galleries (including Mama Buzz Cafe, pictured at left) around 23rd and Telegraph.I unfortunately didn't snap any pictures of the amazingly dressed/artsy folk we saw there, but it was incredibly fun and wonderful to see that there really is a pretty solid art scene in Oakland, so close to home. Berkeley, to be honest and to fall into the teenage vernacular which is so appropriate at this juncture, really kind of sucks. Besides Gilman, it's sort of turned into a combination of the boring college kids who want to go to frat parties and get wasted, and settled-down families (who do keep the Gourmet Ghetto alive and kicking, so I have a certain fondness for them). I guess Oakland is where it's at - thank God for the 1 and the 51, eh?
