10:58 AM Pacific time and only eight comments. We need to do more outreach. DBD's promotion and marketing departments are slagging off something terrible. Are we running any ads at all?
as for Oakland, the night time scene in downtown is pretty fun these days. there are great restaurants and bars.
last time i was in town i went to a Japanese kissa, which is a bar that specializes in playing vintage jazz records. the drinks were pretty fantastic too (Bar Shiru)
and i had dinner just down the street at some fun wine bar (Slug) which sadly seems to have shut down after only one year
Where I was born (Kaiser Hospital), where I work (EBMWU), and where my kids live (one within a few blocks of Lake Merritt; the other somewhere near Montclair).
The building in which I was born, two of my siblings were born, and where my kids were born was torn down a few years ago. It is now open space.
I'm first again so I'll welcome you all to DBD which stands for Deliciously Brilliant Diatribes. (Remember: no outside food or drinks.)
Happy New Years everyone! Long time since I’ve posted here at DBD

It’s because Oakland speaks for itself.
But it's on the front page today!

I and my three sibs are all Kaiser babies.
My hometown.
I've not been to the Paramount, but have been to the Fox, which is an amazing and gorgeous music venue.
