is a small studio condo more or less awash in dog hair, let's go somewhere else.:-)

hotel recommendations?

I am coming down from Seattle with my girlfriend for the shows... any one know where we should get a good hotel in that part of Oakland? I know the last time I stayed in Oakland for shows was not exactly ideal... I mean I didn't mind the crack head hookers beating on the door at 4am asking for somebody that was not there but these days I am older and need my sleep... ;-)

This one's about 10 blocks away:

this one's about a block closer:

these are the more presentable ones that are sorta walking distance. If you don't need walking distance the picture improves considerably.

fond as I am of breakfast at Mama's, the place does get pretty packed on weekends.

Might I suggest we adjourn to the fine Baja Taqueria at 41st and Piedmont? I doubt you will ever find a taqueria with more Dead posters and Jerry art, and the food is great whether you eat meat or veg. Fish tacos are a specialty, but I like other things better.

Maybe Saturday or Sunday afternoon?

Are you going to any of the shows? And/or are you just being the city of Oakland's hostess to all the dead heads who will be in your town? ;-)

depending on the mail order goddesses, I hope to go Friday and/or Sunday. But as to the rest of it, since I'm long past my touring days, I figure if you're gonna be in my hometown it'd be nice to meet. So I'm just brainstorming. If no interest, also fine!

I'd love to go to Oakland and meet up

But I cannot justify to my wife (or myself or my work) a 3rd 3000 some mile road trip again this year.
