After a bite to eat, we decided to trek across the Bay today, out of San Francisco and off to the city of Oakland. considered a sister city, Oakland is really small and acts as more of a financial district for businesses out of San Francisco. cheaper rent, better weather, and close to residential zones, with the main freight ports along its shore. quick fact, upon seeing the wharf cargo haul cranes in the Bay, George Lucas (Stars Wars fame) was inspired to create the quad walking All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT). crazy stuff.
So we spent the arvo in Oakland and found an awesome little restaurant down by the city lake to the north. really nice way to get out of the SF cold weather and relax before the show tonight. check the pics. right now we're off to line up for TOOL. 4 hrs from the start, the show is completely general admission, meaning to get a seat we need to get there early. first come first serve. later all.
