Oakland Big Tree Registry

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Well this makes perfect sense. I guess the cities largest / oldest Oak Tree was unattended in Dimond Park and was lost due to disease back in 2005.
So now they are asking people to report old trees and such so that they may be watched after and maintained so we don’t lose any more of these ancient Oakland Residents.
To find out more info.

Grooves In The Park Day Party BBQ Oakland Sat July 12th

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

…ahhh yes, it’s that time again. We only do this 3-4 times a year in summer so join us under the sun at our fully permitted, beautiful park location right by the water while we celebrate our underground music, good people, good times and life. Please repost this and help us promote this party that has been growing strong for 8 years, now being enjoyed in the Bay for the 3rd time…and getting bigger and more fun every time we do it.

Feel free to bring your dogs (but on leash only or you could get sited by a ranger… and pick up after them). Feel free to bring bbq stuff, food, drinks, something to sit your buns on, family & good people. Please respect everything and everyone and bring your good vibez, that’s all we ask.

Come early and enjoy the day!
See your smiling faces there,

Much love!

Power To The Peaceful Saturday September 6th San Francisco

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

It’s that time of year again guys!
I’ll be there, you should be too!
For more info visit the official website here.

As always Michael Franti will be playing, and Spearhead and Ziggy Marley.
This will take place Saturday the 6th all day in Golden Gate Park.
I suggest taking a bus there. The buses will be packed but driving and parking will be insane as well.

Here is a picture of me and some friends last year!

Oakland National Night Out Champion St Block Party

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Well National Night Out was a success. Oakland had over 400 Block Parties organized by local community residents. These people took the courage to go out and do it and make it happen for the rest of their neighborhoods. We thank you all for doing it and showing that we DO have neighbors that care and we CAN be friends and look out for each other. Thank you all! Remember, Oakland is Proud!

Below are photos and video of the Champion Street Block Party Organizer Carolyn Vallerga with the Oakland Police Department and Karis Griffin from the Oakland Parks and Recreations Department.
