Green Day East Bay Reference Locations Tour


-Nemesis-

Recommended Posts

Did you take pictures? I took one and then showed it around saying "Here!! Look! This is Tight Wad Hill!!" :lol: It just looks like every other hill though lol But it's still special when you're there and know this place has been mentioned in a song.

No :(

Just like I didn't take a photo of me standing on the corner of Stuart Ave. :dry:

I took a picture of Billie Joe's gaf though. And Telegraph. Oh, and Rockridge BART station where it had Berkeley pointing one way and Oakland pointing the other. Oh, and Mike's cafe. :rolleyes:

Sounds like an awesome trip, have fun everyone who's planning to go! :D

I hope to do a trip similar to this once.. When I'm older. Don't see that happening though, I wouldn't know who to bring with me.

We could go together. :P

But it will take years to save enough money.

I went in there! It was really cool :happy:

I also went into the one in San Francisco and I was wearing a Green Day t-shirt that day. This hobo came up to me and he was like "Awwwh, Green Day are so cool, maaan! I haven't seen those guys in so long!" I was like "Um, help?" :o

haha, he sounds like a hippie, "maaan". that's so funny :lol:

I've never heard him talk about Amoeba :o I absolutely love this place, just as Rasputin! You should check out Rasputin as well. It's like 2 blocks from Amoeba on Telegraph in Berkeley.

Well maybe saying that he's "always" talking about it is a bit of an overstatement, haha but I know I've heard him talk about it a couple times. I think he might've mentioned it in that AP article, or maybe I'm making that up, not entirely sure. Oh and I'm totally gonna check out Rasputin, sounds awesome.

Good one! I got the address too (it's actually printed in a GD book haha).

I love that one, too! Well, their all pretty similar but yeah :D I can't believe they have only 2 Rasputin shops in the whole country!! It's like the best record store ever along with Amoeba. And even Amoeba has only three stores in the country!

Woooooooooaaaaaaaaaaawwwww thank you all!

I'm working right now but I'll most definately check all your suggestions! And shot Anja an pm =)

just wondering: did you send one? because I didn't get any.

I just searched for ticket prices... its not that expensive.. I would have enough money in less than a year, and even money for expenses,

but I was thinking about it and ... I dont wanna go alone! :( ... and none of my friends like green day :( ..

What about going to Pasalacqua? I think it's been established that its a funeral home, so maybe you could pop into someone's wake. or not, thats kinda rude

I'm visiting some colleges in California this summer, and I plan to do a little Green Day sightseeing as well. I think most of the prominent places have been mentioned, but paying a visit to Amoeba Records might be fun. Billie's always talking about that place, and well....records are fun :)

my cousin works there :thumbsup:

also I don't know if anyone mentioned this but you could go to Adeline Street, which runs through Oakland and Berk.

oh and East 12th Street!

Yep that's the place where the phone is.

But I had a hard time finding it because it's well... Not hidden, but in a part of the station that is not really where you are walking all the time. It's hard to explain but I found it when I was not exactly looking for it :
