yeh, i was just at an illustration show at LOBOT. sweet space, good work. i've also been to mama buzz and the ruby room- but other than those spots, i don't know a damn thing about (the geography of) oakland. maybe i'll check out a friday night ride, but i'd rather bond with others over a shared love of, say, art or beer or velvet revolution-era czech writers than over what kind of transportation we use. you know?

edit: BUT a san pablo race, that is a good idea. i need to meet more people.
