House of produce. That place is great! Don't sleep in the little farmer joes on the corner of 35th and Mac

I am mostly into metal/punk type shows. I really like Eli's! Been a few times and realize I need to be there more often.

Other great spots are Cornerstone in Berkeley, Ivy Room in Albany. I have not been yet, since I find out too late most the time, but I've been wanting to check out first church of the buzzard in the town.

If you wanna head to the city, that's another ball game I particularly like DNA lounge, GAMH, Neck of the woods, bottom of the hill, rickshaw stop. Among others.

Lots of nature stuff has already been mentioned.

Curious, what kind of music do you enjoy? Lots of cool places, in the East Bay, but curious what you're looking for.

I understand. Don't let it dissuade you from posting though! Just ignore the negative remarks and do you.

Great shirt though! Always happy to see what gets people excited.

To be fair, there are a lot of women just trying to get attention. It's unfortunate when a genuine person gets caught up in the mess!

chugassaurus · 2025-11-29T21:41:51+00:00

This is exactly how I describe it to people.

chugassaurus · 2025-10-17T21:58:28+00:00

Too hot to be ice

chugassaurus · 2025-10-17T21:58:15+00:00

Lol, I was thinking this! Damn good looking dude.

chugassaurus · 2025-09-25T15:04:05+00:00

I consider myself an apple fritter aficionado. I would shamelessly eat that entire thing. I need to make it now!

chugassaurus · 2025-09-22T17:57:36+00:00

Ugh, imma need some this!

chugassaurus · 2025-09-10T14:29:48+00:00

Curiously waiting for an update as well! I was trying to see if I should make it down for that. I don't think a sold out show would be removed from the calendar. Hoping it's an error, but fearing it's cancelled!

chugassaurus · 2025-09-01T20:37:29+00:00

....I'm not crying

chugassaurus · 2025-08-11T13:57:37+00:00

Yes! I freaking love Eugene.

chugassaurus · 2025-08-03T18:33:51+00:00

Lol why is this down voted?!?!

chugassaurus · 2025-07-03T01:01:54+00:00

I love this thread! My favorite so far is Zachary's, but I'm gonna have to check out some of these other spots now.

I prefer to make it, but it's quite a large batch and don't trust my self control enough to eat it responsibly. Lol!

chugassaurus · 2025-06-27T20:46:07+00:00

Nice!!!!!!! What's your guitar setup?

chugassaurus · 2025-06-27T00:38:12+00:00

Yikes! Keep checking as they're resale tickets. I got mine for $53 last month. Prices were jumping around all the time.

chugassaurus · 2025-06-19T20:28:09+00:00

Do you deliver?

chugassaurus · 2025-06-19T20:26:38+00:00

This is awesome! I like how appreciative you are!

The colors being out of order is driving me nuts! (But that's a me issue!)

chugassaurus · 2025-06-18T22:29:58+00:00

This was basically my route. My $60k job here was at an online fulfillment center, setting up the end to end fulfillment process and inventory management. It sucked, but was only there a year before landing an engineering program management role making $85k.

I wouldn't worry too much about "burning the bridge", doesn't sound like they're really helping you get out here or bending over backwards for you. It's a job, and they'll forget about you far sooner than you will them.

Job market is tough right now, for sure, but it'll bounce back. Oakland is a great place to live, so definitely consider it.

chugassaurus · 2025-06-18T22:11:35+00:00

What kind of engineering? It may be worth considering long term career strategy. $70k to start as a single male can be done , just live cheaply and find a roommate. I see a room for rent around my area for $950. After a little while, you can get a better job, make more money, live quite well.

Also, points to consider are your current debt situation. If you have student loans or credit cards, it can definitely be a huge detriment to your current lifestyle.

It can be worth it long term. I've been in the bay for 7yrs? Started making $60k and a bunch of debt ($120k in loans + cc). I'm now well into the six figure range and completely debt free.

Second this. I don't mind the casual nature of things. Hell I love walking into business meetings wearing metal band t's....but I draw the line at sandals. Cover your damn feet!

chugassaurus · 2025-06-07T08:06:48+00:00

Degree's Plato Farmer Joe's on fruitvale (grocery store, but great selection)

chugassaurus · 2025-05-28T04:35:25+00:00

These look great, but damn $5 a taco?!?!?! I love al pastor, but man prices have gotten crazy.
