I really wish I could be there. Sounds like a lot of fun. SoCal is only a 12 hour drive for me I think. Maybe next time.

Jimās persists as does Gimās across the street and Oleās around the corner.
Yep, the tree lined streets make it feel more like midwestern home. We almost never leave the island. Iāll make it across the bridge to San Francisco maybe twice a year. Once for work and once to see blues at The Saloon.
The local Alameda All Stars band consisted mostly of players who would tour with Greg Allman. Brad Gillis and Night Ranger would show up with them too at the local hangs. One of the guys I used to work with at Sennheiser played in the All Stars and is married to Brad Gillisā sister (not sister Christian).

Totally! I lived mid-Central for a while and it was like a place out of time. And inexpensive compared with the rest of the Bay Area too.
Speisekammer still there too?

Prices are probably more in line with the Bay Area by now. Speisekammer is still there, but Park Street business is starting to struggle. Quite a few places stay empty after they go out.

Sounds like fun! Is it common practice to bring a favorite bass or two? Where is the meeting place? If Iām not mistaken, Orange county, Irvine or Costa Mesa area? Iām just down the road in north SD county.
