<div>I found the little teeny parcourse in a school near my house (off Alcatraz in Oakland). Those who went outdoors in the 70s will likely remember this phenomenon--various exercises set up in an area where you can also run outdoors. It's brilliant and I have no idea why they fell out of favor--I assume just that there's no profit model, it's something a city installs for the good of its citizens, and we know how popular that is these days. <br/> <br/>So now I'm hooked. I discovered that there's another, much more extensive one alone the Ohlone Greenway in Berkeley this weekend. Does anyone know where there might be others? Funny thing, but pushups, chin-ups, jumping jacks and the like are actually (gasp!) harder work than the machines at the gym. Almost like those drill sergeants were onto something . .</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>I'm broke right now and this is my shameless plug. but the service I provide is totally cool so I don't even feel bad or anything! <br/> <br/>$$ COST - DONATION$$ no one turned away for lack of funds <br/> <br/>I'm a Pilates instructor and I teach 2 mat classes every week that are strictly donation basis payment. this means don't pay if you can't. it also means, pay what you can so that I can keep doing this. <br/> <br/>the idea for me is to make Pilates more accessible. I want to help people get healthy and become more aware of their bodies. at my classes, there are activist, including a 60 year old tree sitter, mamas, cyclists, self-conscious guys, thin people, thick people, athletic types, desk potatoes, 20 somethings, 60 somethings all in the same class and its FINE! GREAT in fact! **everyone is different** and we all get to learn something about that. you work from your level **NO SHAME** and my job is to help you figure out where that is so you can improve. <br/> <br/>pilates is GREAT for over all health as it focuses on the "core" which will really improve your everyday movement and posture and back and pretty much whatever activity you do when applied correctly. <br/> <br/>here's my website: www.pilates2thepoeple.com <br/>you can find all the info there as well <br/> <br/>here's the schedule: <br/> <br/>Both locations are in Berkeley <br/> <br/>Fridays 6:30-7:30pm <br/>2566C Telegraph Ave. btwn Dwight and Parker @ The Works <br/> <br/>Tuesdays 6:15-7:45 (we don't usually go for more than an hour) <br/>3124 Shattuck Ave., 2 blocks east of Ashby BART @ The Long Haul <br/> <br/> <br/>feel free to ask questions here or contact me.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>IMsL 2008 – Strap On Your Boots and Ride <br/> <br/>The 22nd Annual International Ms Leather contest and the 10th <br/>Anniversary of the International Ms Bootblack contest return to San <br/>Francisco to be celebrated from May 1 – 4, 2008. IMsL can boast being <br/>the longest running women's leather competition. There is no other <br/>contest with its history. No women's contest has continually brought <br/>fierce, yet friendly, competition of leather women, educational <br/>seminars, one-stop shopping for all kinky needs at the vendors' space, <br/>and, of course, hot play parties around the clock. Each year, leather <br/>women and *everyone* who loves them, experience an unforgettable event <br/>which leaves them, not only with two outstanding title holders to <br/>represent them for the following year, but with tingling memories of <br/>their weekend and a hunger for next year's event. <br/> <br/>The weekend will begin Thursday night with "Seduction" presented by <br/>Good Vibrations – an evening of burlesque, strip tease, drag kings and <br/>queens, go-go dancers, lap dancing and more. On-site play spaces will <br/>open Thursday night as well and remain open all weekend. The weekend <br/>continues on Friday with hospitality receptions including our new <br/>Uniform Party, educational workshops, world-class vendors, charity <br/>auctions and our Bootblack Salon and Leather Lounge staffed by the <br/>contestants for the International Ms Bootblack competition. Saturday <br/>brings the contests and the annual Boots and Cigars party. Sunday's <br/>brunch has been reformatted and will be highlighted by a keynote <br/>address from the hilarious, and often irreverent author, Laura <br/>Antoniou, creator of `The Marketplace' Series. <br/> <br/>Registration is now open, with an early bird price of *only* $99, <br/>available until February 29. Registration may be completed online at <br/>www.imsl.org. Tickets for the Sunday brunch may be secured at the same <br/>time. Also on the website is a link for making reservations for the <br/>host hotel, the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway. Alternatively, rooms may <br/>be reserved by calling (415) 441-4000. Those who mention group code <br/>SML receive the IMsL discount. <br/> <br/>Discount packages are being offered this year which can be used by <br/>leather clubs, leather families, contestant entourages and other <br/>groups to save some money. These group discount packages offer 10 full <br/>weekend packages for the price of 7 ½. See www.IMsL.org for more <br/>information. <br/> <br/>The delightful and entertaining Shann Carr (IMsL 1988), will return as <br/>emcee. Judging the International Ms Leather contest are Sarah Humble, <br/>Head Judge (American Leatherwoman 1994), Lady Faye Falconnier <br/>(International Ms Leather 2006), Skeeter (of Mr. S Leather and Madame <br/>S), Mr. Marcus Hernandez (Bay Area Reporter), Mike Gerle <br/>(International Mr. Leather 2007), diamond (Black Beat, Inc), and slave <br/>marsha (International slave 2001). <br/> <br/>Former International Ms Bootblack titleholders will judge the 10th <br/>Anniversary International Ms Bootblack contest, including Slaveboi <br/>Eddie, Head Judge (2003), Ms V (2007), Alex Bettencourt (2006), Izzy <br/>(2004) and michael ann (2000). <br/> <br/>Those who are interested in competing to represent the women's leather <br/>community as International Ms Leather or International Ms Bootblack <br/>can find applications on the website or by emailing <br/>contestantcoordinator@IMsL.org. Intelligent and articulate women, <br/>capable of communication and outreach both to leather and non-leather <br/>communities worldwide, are encouraged to apply. <br/> <br/>Volunteers are the lifeblood of the International Ms Leather Contest <br/>Weekend and applications for volunteer positions are available by <br/>writing to volunteercoordinator@IMsL.org or by visiting www.IMsL.org. <br/>Volunteers will receive a special collectible IMsL pin and either a <br/>partial discount or a full discount on the registration fee so this is <br/>a great way to be a special part of the IMsL team. <br/> <br/>As with any contest, the producers of IMsL welcome hearing from <br/>prospective vendors, sponsors, donors, advertisers – and anyone else <br/>who has or requires information. Contact Glenda Rider at <br/>executiveproducer@IMsL.org or visit the website at www.IMsL.org to <br/>begin the ride.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Great event coming up in SF - Transformative Tantra Weekend! <br/>Please forward to anyone or any lists who you think would be interested. Thanks!! <br/> <br/>Transformative Tantra:Transgender, Transgressive, Transcendent <br/>February 2nd and 3rd, 2008, 10 AM to 5 PM <br/>Center for Sex and Culture, San Francisco <br/> <br/>Barbara Carrellas, author of Urban Tantra and Dossie Easton, co-author of Radical Ecstasy and The Ethical Slut, join forces to explode the myths and embrace the power of SM, gender journeying and Tantra. <br/> <br/>If you are curious about the ecstatic possibilities of Tantra and other energy-focused sexual paths, but have felt too queer, too gender-queer, too kinky, too slutty, or too down-to-earth to feel comfortable in traditional Tantra groups, you'll love this weekend-facilitated by two women who have spent their entire adult lives exploring perverted paths to ecstasy. Persons of all genders and lovers of all stripes are welcome. <br/> <br/>What is/are your gender(s)? Your partners' gender(s)? Do you really have to choose only one? We'll look at what gender is and what it isn't, and then find new ways to express it, pervert it and play with it. Next, we'll explore sexual energy as a physical force that you can activate, build, shape, and ride to amplify all your erotic encounters. We'll end our first day with a shared journey, as we intertwine our experience of masculine and feminine and both and neither into a big ecstatic circle of breath. <br/> <br/>On Sunday, we'll explore the different elements and styles of energy-sharing and power exchange in sexual relationships. Using techniques from Tantra and BDSM, and the occasional bit of rope, we'll experiment with consciously polarizing and uniting opposites: active and receptive, masculine and feminine, power and helplessness. Is it true that the further apart we polarize our roles, the hotter the spark that bridges the gap? Let's find out! <br/> <br/>All genders, sexual preferences and orientations are welcome. <br/> <br/>To register or for more info contact: &amp;lt;mailto:mail@sexandculture.org>mail@sexandculture.org or 415-255-1155. The full weekend workshop is available for $395 per person, early bird special of $360 if you reserve before January 1st. <br/> <br/> <br/>Trans Tantra Introductory Evening <br/>Friday, February 1, 2008 <br/>7 - 10 PM at the Center for Sex and Culture <br/>$25 per person <br/> <br/>Meet the authors Barbara Carrellas and Dossie Easton for an evening of chat and some experimental journeys in breath and consciousness. Get a taste of the weekend to come, satisfy your curiosity about Tantra and other energy-focused sexual paths, and discover how Tantra can help you unleash some unique abilities within yourself. Persons who have no experience in Tantra who intend to attend the full weekend are particularly encouraged to attend this evening, but all are welcome to join us for a taste of Tantra. <br/> <br/>BIO <br/> <br/>Dossie Easton, a long time player on the San Francisco S/M scene and well-known killer bottom, is co-author with Janet Hardy of The Ethical Slut, a guide to infinite sexual possibilities as well as The New Bottoming Book and The New Topping Book, When Someone You Love Is Kinky, a book designed to give to outsiders to inform them about our lifestyle, and most recently, Radical Ecstasy: SM Journeys to Transcendence. She is a licensed psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and more in her private practice, with a particular interest in how SM journeys into Shadow can bring old wounds into the healing light of consciousness and and give them a shot of life force in the form of good hot sex. You can check out her website at www.dossieeaston.com. <br/> <br/>Barbara Carrellas is the author of Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century and Luxurious Loving: Tantric Inspirations for Passion and Pleasure. She is the founder of Urban Tantra, an approach to sacred sexuality that adapts and blends conscious sexuality practices from Tantra to S/M, and the cofounder of Erotic Awakening, a pioneering series of workshops focusing on the physical, spiritual and healing powers of sex. Barbara was named Best Tantric Sex Seminar Leader in New York City by Time Out/NY Magazine for her Urban Tantra workshops. Barbara has been featured in the videos Selfloving, The Sluts &amp; Goddesses Video Video Workshop, Zen Pussy, Annie Sprinkle's Amazing World of Orgasm, in the film Sacred Sex and in several episodes of the HBO television special Real Sex. Barbara frequently lectures, performs and facilitates workshops with her partner, author and gender outlaw , Kate Bornstein. www.barbaracarrellas.com, www.urbantantra.org. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hey folks, I'm on the hunt for new digs. I'm looking primarily in Temescal/North Oakland &amp; Adams Point , though Piedmont, Rockridge, Emeryville or Berkeley might work if it were in my price range. <br/> <br/>Are you moving out of a wonderful spot and looking for someone to take it over, or do you know someone who is? Read on! <br/> <br/>I have a fair amount of stuff and some furniture, so i'm not really looking to move into an existing household. A one bedroom would be ideal. I have no pets and don't smoke, have people over occasionally but am not a partier. <br/> <br/>Requirements: <br/>Gas stove <br/>Laundry in building or nearby <br/>Central heating <br/>Ample natural light. <br/>Not too noisy <br/>Relatively close to BART (ideally not much more than 15 minute walk- I work a lot in SF) <br/>A garage, designated pkg. spot, or an area with relatively easy street parking <br/>Good closet space and kitchen storage, bonus if there is an additional storage or garage space. <br/> <br/>Preferences: <br/>Some outdoor space, it would be great to have a small garden, patio or at least a balcony to put plants on <br/>Prefer hardwood floor, but clean carpet is OK <br/>I'd really love to have a tub. <br/> <br/>I can pay in the 800-1100 range. I've got great credit, a great rental history, and a winning smile! <br/> <br/>Send a message via tribe or email me offline at shirlspawn@hotmail.com if you've got any leads.

<div>This month ! Back Room Live Presents ! Writing Artists ! Blake <br/>Ellington Larson ! Vicki Hudson ! Jenny Drai ! and Janet W. Hardy ! <br/>Saturday Night July 28th ! Mc Nallys Irish Pub ! 7pm ! 5352 College <br/>Ave ! Oakland <br/> <br/>Janet W. Hardy has lost count of her careers, but the last one was as <br/>a sex writer/educator ("The Ethical Slut," "The Compleat Spanker," <br/>"Radical Ecstasy"), and her next one, she hopes, will be as a wealthy <br/>and beloved author and college professor. Toward that end, she is <br/>halfway through her MFA program in Creative Nonfiction at St. Mary's. <br/> <br/>Jenny Drai grew up near Chicago but spent several years in Munich <br/>before settling on Oakland. Her poetry has appeared in Five Fingers <br/>Review, 580 Split, The Tiny, and Spinning Jenny. She has just <br/>finished her first novel. Her novel is roughly 290 pp, has line <br/>breaks, but almost no commas. <br/> <br/>When not writing, Vicki Hudson spends her time as an urban farmer and <br/>Magic: the Gathering collectible card player, both alternate potential <br/>career paths if this writing thing doesn't work out. She lives in the <br/>East Bay with partner, dog and 4 cats. <br/> <br/>Blake Ellington Larson began writing poetry at the age of eleven. For <br/>five years out of high school he and a close friend created <br/>Picaresque, an art zine. His first and only published poem "She Slows <br/>It Down In Me" was printed in Wordworks. He just finished his first <br/>chapbook Live-In Dreams. He lives and thrives in Oakland Ca.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Hey everyone! <br/> <br/>My friend Hannah is working for an organization called Rising Sun Energy Center. They are a non-profit that provides free energy conservation services to communities in Marin and the East Bay. <br/> <br/>She supervises a youth in our California Youth Energy Services program. Basically, they professionally train youth (between the ages of 15 and 24) to do free energy audits on peoples' residences (both rented and owned). <br/> <br/>Their energy audits include checking water pressure, checking toilets for leaks, an attic assessment (that could lead to a 70% subsidy on insulation), energy efficiency education, and the installation of free Compact florescent lamps, shower heads, sink aerators, and clothes-lines. They also will switch out your florescent torchiere for your old halogen lamp if you would like. <br/> <br/>These services are paid for by our taxes and our local governments. There is no additional charge to the resident. It can save you money and help the environment. <br/> <br/>If you are interested in having them audit your house, you can get in touch with her cyesberkeley@risingsunenergy.org or go to their website www.risingsunenergy.org Or you can call her directly to schedule an appointment at (510) 542-3472 <br/> <br/>She is new to the bay area, she is a friend of mine from L.A. and she is a part of our community. She is an amazing woman!!! I promised her I would help her spread the word to all of you and I have already scheduled an appointment myself as I to believe in what they are doing and do think this is a wonderful resource for those of us in the area. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I'm a newbie runner, just discovering the joys of pounding the trails in my spiffy new running shoes rather than cooped up in the gym. I've checked out some of the obvious places to get a relatively safe, car-free run in . . . Lake Merrit, Berkeley Aquatic Park, Point Isabel. Where else should I be exploring? My requirements are: No cars, nobody going to mug me (I'm a chick and I run alone), relatively safe parking at the start of the trail, about 3-5 miles worth of run, moderately strenuous (I get a workout on the flat, but am ready to start trying some hills). <br/> <br/>Suggestions?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>I'm helping a friend get the word out: <br/> <br/>My husband and I would like to alert you about the Public Storage Facility on 6501 Shellmound Street, Emeryville, California, 94608. We stored our entire household contents there in November of 2006 after selling our house in preparation for our move to Portland. <br/> <br/>On February 14, 2007, we went to our unit and found that we had been burglarized two weeks earlier. Eleven units had been broken into in December 2006, and then 27 more units in February 2007. We were not notified of the burglaries, though the caretaker George said he checked every unit and called renters who had been hit. No one that was not burglarized was notified and there were no postings alerting renters of the events. <br/> <br/>Our lock had not been cut. The bolts to the roll down doors are made of cheap aluminum and ours was snipped. All of our family dishes, the contents of our entire kitchen, 4 large bins of power tools, and 13 musical instruments were taken, as well as personal decorative and family items. Many things were not worth a lot of money but are completely irreplaceable. <br/> <br/>Additionally, we were called by the Emeryville Police Department in May 2007 to come to Public Storage because stolen boxes were found in an empty unit. The caretaker George discovered them, and said they had shown up two weeks before. This indicates that the stolen goods are likely stored at the Facility, and still may be. Public Storage will not authorize a search of the facility, and the Police Department did not return calls to discuss this latest development. <br/> <br/>When we initially filed our police report, the Emeryville Police Department described Public Storage as "a joke" to us, saying they get broken into regularly - numerous times a year. <br/> <br/>George denies this. When we asked him what Public Storage would be doing about this, he said that 'Corporate' will not let him lock the buildings down at night, nor will they install security cameras, or apparently do anything to help. <br/> <br/>To give you an idea of the laxness of the security, there is a door that is locked to the public, but one only needs to hold it gently to not let it close all the way, and it stays propped open, and will not latch. On almost every visit to Public Storage, we have found this door open - including after hours. All storage units are accessible to the public. The large buildings containing the smaller storage units have no locking doors. Elevators are left on after hours and are also not locked down. <br/> <br/>If you are already storing there, and you do not have a roll down door, please take care anyway. We found many of the regular doors have cheap hinges that face out into the hall. To completely remove the door, you need only a flathead screwdriver. Locks are useless there. The buildings are empty almost every time we go there. <br/> <br/>The moral of this story is: Caution! Make sure to do your homework before you store your things in a storage facility! There are storage facilities close by in Oakland and Berkeley that have great security (cameras, no entry without signing in in-person, effective lock-down hours, main buildings are locked at night, insurance policies reimburse for full amount in event of burglary) which we only learned after the fact. This was our own mistake in a big way. Had we done better research and read our insurance policy more closely, we would not be in this situation. <br/> <br/>The Emeryville PD, and Public Storage and George have done nothing to the minimum to help us. The entire experience is a huge disappointment and pain in the ass. We are both very sad at the loss of some things that were important to us. In the future we will not store them in a facility if it can be helped. <br/> <br/>We have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and are posting on-line. <br/> <br/>We urge you to take your storage business elsewhere.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hi, I'm a bridesmaid for my brother's wedding in mid February and I got my dress yesterday and of course it needs alterations. The place my future SIL has recommended is way the hell out on 28th Ave. in SF, though reportedly affordable. I'm looking for something a little more local. Got any suggestions? <br/> <br/>For the record, I'll need the skirt shortened, the spaghetti straps shortened, and the bodice, which is boned on the sides, taken in, especially around the chest part (I'm kind of busty, but the top of the dress is designed stupidly). It's not a bad dress, it's just that the sizing at the shop was whack - pretty typical, as anyone who's been a BM knows. <br/> <br/>Cross posted in East Bay.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>THANKS to everyone who showed up at our new venue, downtown at the Uptown Oakland. We had a phenomenal show with Will Franken, Knees &amp; Elbows, and Loop!Station. Believe me, we'll have them all back in one form or another again in the future. <br/> <br/>------------ <br/> <br/>BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! This Friday will knock your knee-sox off! <br/> <br/>Friday, December 29, 2006 <br/>9:00 PM Door <br/> <br/>Downtown at The Uptown Night Club <br/>1928 Telegraph Ave. <br/>Oakland <br/> <br/>Our new venue is The Uptown in Oakland! 1928 Telegraph, at 19th, across from the Fox Theatre. Easy BART (1 block), and parking around the corner. All-night AC Line 800 bus to SF! <br/> <br/>For a mere $7 you can see an amazing show in a great venue. Here's what you get: <br/> <br/>(1) WINK PAIN <br/>(2) SOUL CAPTIVES <br/>(3) LORD LOVES A WORKING MAN <br/> <br/>LORD LOVES A WORKING MAN -- <br/>Based out of the Mission District of San Francisco, Lord Loves A Working Man is a 9-piece band inspired by the raw and emotive sound of the Southern Soul shouters and horn-driven Rhythm &amp; Blues of the 1960s. They call it Southern soul; I call it sort of "white soul", the kind of sound Blood Sweat &amp; Tears made famous. Singer Ben Flax belts out a song and leaves you breathless. The band is led by Max Baloian (the multi-instrumentalist from Rube Waddell, the Armchair Geographers, and more). Keyboards played by Rob Reich, and if you don't know who Rob Reich is, you haven't been around much, have you? Look for Cornelius Boots blasting the hot soul sax licks. It's an awesome band. http://www.lordlovesaworkingman.com <br/> <br/>WINK PAIN -- <br/>Heart-felt gut-wrenching blues, the kind you get when the Studebaker won't start because there's a family of muskrats living in the engine; the kind of blues you get when your old lady leaves you not for another man or another woman, but because she'd rather be alone than put up with you. Wink Pain is Freddi Price at his best, doing a solo guitar and singing old blues. http://www.rubewaddell.com <br/> <br/>THE SOUL CAPTIVES -- <br/>A ska experience! Drawing upon diverse experiences in 1960's era Jamaican music, funk, soul, and jazz, The Soul Captives fuse together a unique musical style that they simply refer to as "the captivating sound". Varying from blazing horn-driven Skatalites style instrumentals to smoking vocal tunes with full harmonies reminiscent of Bob Marley and the Wailers, they have yet to play for a crowd that could stay in their seats. <br/> <br/>The band began as a hobby for guitarist Vic Wong and trumpeter Josh Jerge in the summer of ‘03. Already veterans in the ska scene from Bay Area Music Award winners Monkey and Riverside soul-reggae combo the Debonaires, the two hoped to start a group that combined their two loves: jazz and Jamaican music. They had their eyes on Raynier Jacildo to man the keyboard, another talented young performer with Sacramento's reggae sensations, the Steady Ups. They also recruited local roots reggae session players Mark Allen-Piccolo (bass) and Jayme Arredondo (drums). Having backed reggae legends like Sister Nancy, Don Carlos, and Wadi Gad, the pair brings a wealth of experience and authenticity in Jamaican rhythms. To lead the group, the Captives employed the silky-smooth voices of Glenn Casuga (who doubles on tenor saxophone) and Lauren Nagel-Werd. During their first session together, the grins around the room were a clear indication that this was definitely going to be more than a side project. http://www.thesoulcaptives.com <br/> <br/>------------ <br/> <br/>HOUSEKEEPING STUFF <br/> <br/>Mailing List: To modify your address or remove yourself or add another address to this list, please respond to this message with ADD, REMOVE, or CHANGE on the title. <br/> <br/>This Address: The davidkayepromo address is back, and it will become the main place for regular show correspondence. <br/> <br/>SF Games: The twice-weekly games social group I run: http://www.sfgames.org <br/> <br/>The David Kaye homepage: http://www.davidkaye.us <br/> <br/>------------ <br/> <br/>Other Notes: <br/> <br/>Jascha Ephraim fans check his website about his new show 12/30 at the Knockout.

<div>We've pulled off another INCREDIBLE East Bay event! <br/> <br/>We've moved our shows downtown to the Uptown in Oakland! 1938 Telegraph, at 19th, across from the Fox Theatre. Easy BART (1 block), and parking around the corner. All-night AC Line 800 bus to SF! <br/> <br/>For a mere $6 you can see an amazing show in a great venue, and it's even like going home again because Jean, formerly of the Odeon bartends at the Uptown. What more could you want? <br/> <br/>Here's what you get THIS coming Thursday night (not in any particular order) -- remember, it's just a mere $6! <br/> <br/>(1) WILL FRANKEN -- If you have not seen Will perform, you will be totally blown away. Sez the NEW YORK TIMES: "What elevates Mr. Franken above your garden-variety comedian is an erudite wit and a highly developed sense of the absurd". Go check him out: http://www.willfranken.com <br/> <br/>(2) KNEES &amp; ELBOWS -- "Passive-agressive , bluesish, flamencoesque , cough syrup, monster, waltz music" -- or something like that. An odd mix of musicality, offbeat beats, and Janay Growden Rose's beautiful voice twisting and turning through a roller coaster of music. When you see them perform, you'll come away saying, HUH? But you'll come back for more. People do. http://www.myspace.com/kneesandelbows <br/> <br/>(3) LOOP!STATION -- Ten years ago this band couldn't even EXIST! Why not? It's a cello and a voice looped with a cello and a voice and a cello and a voice and a cello and a voice, LIVE before your ears. Yes, they build a song from two instruments into a string quartet and choir. Robin Coomer and Sam Bass. One woman, one man, one voice, one cello, multiple layered 'loops' hand tooled and shaped into lovely, cascading, provocative orchestral compositions with an immediate soul-rocking palpability. It's an amazing sound. Loop!Station is HOT. http://www.loopthis.com <br/> <br/>Another fabulous show brought to you by David Kaye, Nightworld Figure. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>"Spoken Groove" Returns to Crosstown Coffeehouse for their third Appearance December 2nd @ 7pm <br/>1303 High Street <br/>Alameda, CA 94501 <br/>www.crosstowncoffee.org <br/> <br/>$8 Cover charge and these guys are worth it!! This is one show not to be missed!! <br/>www.Spokengroove.com <br/> <br/> <br/>One voice, one guitar and the most incredible show youve ever seen. Peter Nevland and Paul Finley explode on stage with the energy and talent of the most original, rock n roll, acoustic guitar wizardry, funky white boy dancing, youve ever seen. These two performers - theyre more than poets - have taken spoken word and the art of poetry slam to new heights, raves the Santa Fe Reporter. An explosion of words, is the quotation of choice for the Dallas Morning News, lifting his arms one minute and kicking his legs the next. Since September, 2002, Peter and Paul have completed 6 tours across the U.S. And Canada and played for just about every audience imaginable. From rock hungry students to fine art lovers, inner city kids to white-collar businessman, no one can get enough of their Acoustic Spoken Groove. <br/> <br/>Of course the most interesting aspect to them isnt so much where theyve played, but how they ended up working together. Music and writing was the last thing on Peters mind when he came to the University of Texas in 1993 to study Mechanical Engineering. When he did start writing, his performance was so inventive, bands started asking if they could play music for him while he unleashed his Dr. Seuss took a walk through the ghetto and decided to become the white, jive king style. It wasnt long before he met one of the most amazing guitarists hed ever seen in 2000 at an Austin Arts Festival. <br/> <br/>Wisconsin-reared Paul Finley had been hooked by the guitar the first time his fingers touched the strings. At the age of 16, he began teaching, getting a diploma in Guitar Performance from the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, and joining his talents with the indie band, Mas Optica. Hes played with symphonies, comedy troupes, rock stars and buskers in his journey from Wisconsin to Austin. It was the perfect preparation for the turn his life was about to take as he gave Peter his card and told him to call if he wanted to do anything with music. <br/> <br/>They finally played together a year later, realizing something instant and magical in what they were creating. After countless cities, open doors, wowed audiences, bad jokes and 7 CDs later, theyre set to take off as the folk apostles of the most original, acoustic funk machine, spoken groove combo ever experienced.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>At the corner of San Pablo and Page (near Gilman), the closest Chinese food to my house, just a few blocks away with no other decent takeout around, so it's been my neighborhood place for a while despite the consistent fair/poor service (people who answer the phone can't understand English well enough to take your order, and if you dine in, expect to wait). But the food is always decent and you can't be too picky in NW Berkeley. <br/> <br/>The service reached a new low last week - they gave me the wrong food, they would not come to pick it up so I had to bring it back, and they not only offered no compensation but actually blamed me for taking the wrong bag of food (the only bag sitting on the counter between myself and the cashier, who took my money, said thankyou, and walked away). Oh, the nerve. <br/> <br/>I don't understand why a restaurant would treat a customer that way. They can't afford to lose customers as the place is never busy. Just a matter of time before they go out of business. I hope a nice cafe moves in when they finally crash. I'll sure never eat there again! <br/> <br/>Now, where will I go for Chinese food - someplace within walking distance?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Sadly, my 89 Ford Probe GT was stolen from right in front of my house in West Berkeley sometime last night (Friday) between midnight and 7:30am. As it's a pretty distinctive car, I thought it was worthwhile to send out a couple of pictures in case anyone sees it. The license plate is 4JMX-985 and it has a gray interior (when it was taken, it had a dark green towel and some dog leashes in the back seat). I'm really hoping someone took it out for a joyride and it will end up being found abandoned somewhere. <br/> <br/>Pictures: <br/>http://pmo.berkeley.edu/images/89FordProbeGT1.jpg <br/>http://pmo.berkeley.edu/images/89FordProbeGT2.jpg <br/> <br/>Thanks for keeping your eye out for it and please send me a message via tribe if you see it--thanks! <br/>Allison</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 21 replies </div>

<div>Hey there, I run an association for holistic practitioners called Bliss, started in 1999 and now with ~600 people in the Bay Area. After a year hiatus is now back up and running, and we're starting to have monthly gatherings again (not all 600, phew!). We're going to ping pong across the Bay from SF to the East Bay, every other month. We've got SF covered, and are now in search for a place host the East Bay edition. <br/> <br/>At these gatherings there are classes being taught, people doing skills trades (bodywork, etc) and a social networking aspect. Ideally, here's what we're looking for in a space: <br/> <br/>~ Has two studios and a lounge/area to sit in between where people can eat/socialize <br/>~ Has three studios, one of which food is ok in it <br/>~ One big studio with several treatment rooms, with another space for people to eat/socialize. <br/> <br/>In all three of these options, the ability to plug in a small sound system (mellow ambient djs for the trades room, on two monitor speakers) would be keen. Also, a space where someone walking there solo would feel safe is a factor to, well, factor in :-) <br/> <br/>If you run, know of, have connections to, or vaguely remember the name of, anything that sounds like the above, please contact me directly about that, at paul{at}blissassociation{dot}com Whichever space we go with we'd be there every other month, and it would get listed, weekly, in Blissmails, getting exposure to an audience that would be likely future business for that space, whether it's attending classes, events and getting service there, or perhaps themselves renting the space for their events &amp; classes. <br/> <br/>thanks much!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Declaration of separation. Old left Vs. New left. <br/> <br/>This parade, and the ensuing attention it receives, is a perfect example of why the left is not taken seriously in the United States. <br/> <br/>I said it. <br/>There was a day when the socialist party, was taken so seriously, that people listened to everything they said. The unions as well. <br/>And when an environmentalist spoke, it too was listened to. Even leftists with a flair for total humor (Abbie Hoffman, who I knew, and Jerry Rubin) were quoted, and their ideas regarding western culture were taken as a serious threat to the status quo of the day. <br/> <br/>What happened? <br/>They happened. <br/>The petty bourgeois special-interest groups, who successfully splintered the unity of the left here in Berkeley over 30 years ago. <br/>They in turn gave rise to an even more scary sub-culture, which I call the "Dionysian radicals" <br/>Groups of upper-class, "intellectuals" who used the hard-earned progress of the left, to promote such trivial "revolutionary" activities, as <br/> <br/>Sex with children (nambla) <br/>Public nudity (breasts not bombs) <br/>The promotion of drugs <br/>"free love" (read sex with minors, who you first get stoned then fuck) <br/>"Space brotherhood realian existence concepts" <br/>Unprotected bath house sex during the height of the aids crisis (I was there. we protested against. were called "fascists" for our concerns) <br/>Tenants rights (once a very noble idea. now a way to rip people off while you live on their property) <br/>Anarchy ( while living under the protection of an army) <br/>And a general overall idea that anyone, anywhere, at any time could be called "oppressed" "downtrodden" and "a victim of society" anytime they claimed they were. <br/> <br/>I watched as this destroyed the left, made us a laughing stock of the world, ruined the progress that came from fighting, protest, and bloodshed, and also alienated us from the rest of the country, who more than anyone in the world needed to hear the message of social change. And all due to the superior, condescending, rude, hostile, and alienating manner of these people who claimed to be "the left", "progressive" "revolutionary" and "struggling" <br/> <br/>Insults about States, city offices, police, military, religions, races, beliefs, and conventions were thrown around at the drop of a hat, and anytime someone was rightly insulted by our "leftist convictions" we dismissed them as "fascists" "uneducated" "racists" and "imperialists" <br/>Many of these people were the ones who truck in our food, police our cities, run the government structure, and also teach our children, and work all manner of dead end jobs to pay for their, and our children's welfare. These are the people socialism was meant to reach. The working masses. We failed. Badly <br/>The ones doing the insulting never represented me. they never represented the Black Panther party, Nor the Raza movement, Nor the socialist party, nor the Peace and Freedom Party, Nor the Unions, Nor the people of this city, who died, and were defamed, and ruined in a struggle between us and The FBI, then under the leadership of a notoriously evil J. Edgar Hoover, who spent millions of dollars in the COINTELPRO program. <br/>It is not a fucking bedtime story, people. And every time someone who is not from here, (like 60% of the so-called "leftist progressives" in Berkeley) uses those examples to justify a "party, do whatever you want, sex, drugs, fuck you if you don't agree" attitude, I see the fallen. <br/> <br/>James Rector <br/>Kent State <br/>Black panthers <br/>Killed Civil right's workers <br/>beaten, tear gassed, and killed protesters <br/>American Indian Movement <br/>And many others, who were the ones who paid in blood, and with their lives, so that this group of upper-class, self-hating, white "intellectuals" could now claim to represent the struggle of the people, the lower class, and what were then called "the lumpen masses". <br/> <br/>Shameful, disrespectful, dishonest, and self-centered, an experience has this been for me and others who were there, sacrificed, and NEVER claimed to represent "the people" (NO one should go throwing that phrase around lightly" <br/> <br/>Cleaning house: <br/>I tell you now, Until we purge our ranks of tinfoil-hat wearing, public nudity-loving, dope loving, and self-centered, orgiastic, pseudo-spiritual, and pseudo-activist partiers, (Burning man people, are you listening?) many of whom were also proven to be working for the FBI in the 60's and 70's as agent provocateurs, we will never, ever, have a "movement" that can affect any real, valuable, constant social change. <br/> <br/>Examples: see the conservative guy's site http://www.zombietime.com for examples of people claiming to be leftist, at everyone's expense. <br/>Note the pictures of one guy with a sign saying "fuck middle America" (neither I nor anyone I know can identify him as a local to SF or Berkeley) and signs like "we're better off without the WTC" and other "radical" slogans. <br/>Cowards. Provocateurs. Showboats. Grandstanders. Hubris. Cruelty. <br/>You do not now, and never did represent the struggle s of the people, the lower classes, or the left. <br/>Do I agree with the government? Hell no. I hate the government. <br/>But I love my people. <br/>Americans. Many of whom did not have the benefit of a worldly education as I did, even being homeless, and alone for much of my life. <br/>It was these same kinds of people, when stirred to action, that successfully fought and defeated the British crown, establishing this pluralistic society. <br/>And now, the "left" insults, and alienates the very people we were supposed to educate and bring into the fold with logic, honesty, and brotherhood, (read sisterhood if it suits you better) The masses of hardworking people who for no other reason than their upbringing, and brainwashing, are very ignorant at present to they government they support. Yes, they need education. Yes, they can be insulting. Yes they can be fucking insufferable, and mean, and racist. This makes no difference. THEY ARE THE ONES WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REACHING. <br/>Singing to the choir means nothing. Like an anti Klan rally in Berkeley, after the Klan was run out of here 25 years ago, exercises in self-congratulation, and self glorification, are shameful mutations of what once was meaningful social change. <br/> <br/> <br/>Something that would be revolutionary at this time would be for these people to put down the dope, and the parties, and the total immersion in cultures they do not understand, that often want nothing to do with them, and start reaching out to their kind. <br/>White, black, Latino, Native and Asian American, middle-class people, and lower-middle class people who do not mean to offend with their political ignorance. People who work their whole lives through. When I can see that respect again, and see a REAL open-mindedness, and REAL compassion towards people who are different from you, no matter whether they are above your or below in class, no matter what color they are, and no matter what their beliefs are, THEN and only then, will we, the left, be living up to what our founders envisioned for us all. A greater level of understanding, and higher function of the human spirit, with total equality as its goal. <br/>Leftism is a SPIRITUAL idea. Do not profess "global love and peace" while you are locally insulting and hostile towards anything that currently suits your fancy. THAT is a sign of ruling class, dilettante, mental and social laziness. <br/> <br/>I am ashamed of us. Seriously. During the party, the torch that was meant to be passes was dropped, unceremoniously in the mud, and to be truthful it has not been picked up by many. <br/> <br/>Let's pick it up again. <br/> <br/>Let this diatribe serve as notice, of formal separation, ideologically, spiritually, mentally, and socially, between myself, and the False "left" may we never be confused for one another ever again. However, even if we are not on the same side ideologically, when I meet my people, and you are all my people, I will show respect, even if we do disagree, and there will be the peace. For me at least. <br/> <br/>Piero Amado Infante</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div> <br/> I used to have a really nice cannondale H400, 04' model. It was stolen, and so I ended up buying a Specialized "Crossroads" 02' <br/> model. <br/> my ex-girlfriend, Got a raleigh C30, rode it ONCE, and put it in the garage. She just gave it to me! <br/> After getting clocked by speedy bikes every day on Grizzly peak Blvd, I decided it was time to get something a little more racey. <br/> <br/> My Crossroads is super comfortable, in GOOD condition, and only needs a repair to the front brake handle, (the part you use with <br/> your hand) and maybe a little tuneup. <br/> This is a picture of the model: <br/> www.bikesdetails.info/Special...002.html <br/> The Raleigh C30 is in MINT (and I mean MINT) condition, with not a scratch, ding, or wear ANYWHERE. the thing GLOWS with FRESH NEWNESS. <br/> this is an EXACT picture of the model <br/> www.raleighusa.com/items.asp <br/> <br/> The crossroads originally sold for $400, and the C30 sold for $400. <br/> Original combined value of both bikes: $800 <br/> <br/> here's the bike I want: <br/> <br/> Flat Bar road bike <br/> (like my dream bike: www.cannondale.com/bikes/00...HR4.html) <br/> weighs 20 pounds or less <br/> Cannondale preferred <br/> Grip shifters <br/> In excellent condition <br/> Fresh tires and breaks <br/> No major dings, or other "ouchies" <br/> <br/> This is a great deal for a couple wanting to get riding around the city. <br/> <br/> I will entertain all reasonable and serious offers. <br/> LOCAL ONLY <br/> CASH OR TRADE ONLY <br/> <br/> <br/> There it is! <br/> <br/> "broken hearted without my cannondale" <br/> posted by: </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>It used to be up by the big Long's Drugs on 51st (Pleasant Valley) then they moved to SHattuck just north of University. I went by there many months ago and discovered they had closed! I've discussed this with a few other product whores, false eyelash junkies, hair-color addicts and they were equally panicked. I'm looking for a good beauty supply that has all the brands of all the funky hair dyes in addition to the salon brands, great selection of false eyelashes, all the tools and clips and foils and scissors for the hair dresser, and a great selection of shampoos and conditioners. Most of the beauty supply places in Oakland cater to the woman of color, understandably, but that doesn't meet my needs! Can you help a girl out? <br/> <br/>thanks <br/>Valentina</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>just FYI, 4 weeks ago i got car jacked at the pay parking lot on 7th next to west oakland BART station. some guy was squatting behind my car and surprised me with a small revolver. after quick mental calculation i found the $10 in my wallet and a fully insured vehicle a small price to pay to not have to find out if the gun was loaded or the dude holding it a good shot. <br/> <br/>this was around 8pm and there were some people around, but not too many. <br/> <br/>anyway, i've always felt pretty safe there, but obviously i was naive. <br/> <br/>so keep an eye out. <br/> <br/>i did notice that since that friday the lot has a rent-a-guard posted.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 63 replies </div>

<div>Hi there, <br/> <br/>StandUp For Kids (a national nonprofit that does outreach to homeless youth) is in need of an office space in downtown Berkeley. As the new regional trainer I am starting from scratch setting up an office in the Northern California. <br/> <br/>I need a small office to rent for under $800 a month. My ideal situation would be to share a floor with other companies but with my own private office. I would love to have it be more community minded because being locked up all by myself in an office might drive me crazy! <br/> <br/>If you don't know of a specific location but have suggestions on where to look (other than craigslist and the Tribune) I would greatly appreciate it!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ebp.tribe.net">East Bay Peeps</a> - 1 reply </div>
