I wanted to make a quick post about this, but the wonderful people at Farley’s East in uptown Oakland have confirmed my local event to kick-off the Intensity in Ten Cities Tour!
February 15, 2012
6:00pm – 8:00pm
Farley’s East, 33 Grand Ave, Oakland
(Located 4 blocks north of 19th St BART on Grand, in between Broadway and Webster)
EVENT IS FREE, but I will be accepting donations to keep me housed and fed on tour!
Please RSVP on the event page I’ve created, so I know how much food/drink needs to be provided; if you don’t have Facebook, just leave a comment below to let me know you’re coming.
You can expect: a couple live readings, Q&A session, discussion about THINGS, and SECRETS. Come say hello and send me off on tour IN STYLE. Hope to see y’all there!
I demand a live reading of Lords and Stuff, Act 4, Scene 1.
I DEMAND IT.
I went here once! The food and coffee is super good! Even if Mark wasn't going to be there, I'd recommend everyone go, cause it really is a chill café!
I think the coffeehouses are one of the things I miss the most about the Bay!
Looking forward to it! Just one question – what's the parking situation at this place?
Thanks 🙂
It shouldn't be too awful on a Wednesday. If you can't find parking on Grand, there should be street parking one block away on all sides. 22nd, 23rd, Webster, and Broadway.
Is there a reason you wouldn't be taking BART?
Awesome, thanks! And I'm not taking BART because I'm coming from Palo Alto, and taking Caltrain + BART there and back just takes forever, and I'm impatient haha.
You're coming from Palo Alto? I'm coming from Palo Alto (well, Stanford, but y'know…). If I contribute towards petrol, would you possibly have room to take a totally-not-scary grad student? I had been planning on taking BART, but my boss would probably be a lot happier if I didn't have to leave work at 3:30 😛
ETA: If you don't want to that's totally cool, I don't want to be impose-y or anything!
Bit late, but to Oakland it's usually a smidge faster and a lot cheaper to take the Dumbarton Express / Line U / whatever the hell they call it these days from the top of the oval (or the med center, or the Caltrain station, depending on where you're coming from) and take BART north from Fremont or Union City BART. http://transportation.stanford.edu/pdf/EastBay-St…
ETA: My bad, only the Line U is free for everyone; you need a VTA pass to ride the DB for free.
OMG I would totally go, because it's only a short BART ride away from me and it is on ~~my birthday~~, except I have class at exactly that time. ALL THE SADFACES.
I'd love to go, but it's a six hour drive and I'm out of free flight passes. D:
Oh no! Where do you live? I will have other CA dates very soon!
