Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Isn't Studio 880 in this way criminal neighbourhood, though? or was that some other studio... And where are the Ruby Room and Tight Wad Hill? Anyway, sounds like an awesome trip! think I'm gonna pass that list on to my parents and pretend they're all really cool places also if you're not a Green Day fan lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDay-Idiot Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 that sounds really cool! it'll be so fun to visit the Can't Fail Cafe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai. Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Since this is more Green Day related, I hope you don't mind I move it to Green Day Chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anja Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I loved singing "Standing on the corner of Stuuuuuuuart Avenue!" when I was there Me too And sining along to Christie Road while standing on the tracks Tight Wad Hill isn't something I can recommend, it's just a lame hill on the campus of UCB and it doesn't even say "Tight Wad Hill" (not that I know tho). Definitely check out Christie Road, Rudy's can't fail cafe, Studio 880 and the corner of Stuart and Telegraph Avenue. And don't forget about Atomic Garden It's near Rockridge, just down the Oakland Hills. Fox Theater is a beautiful theater, so it's probably nice to go there as well. Pinole Valley High is a bit far, true, but if you really want to go there, I recommend going to Fiat Music as well. It's pretty close I believe. Can't quite remember. And then there's the place Billies mom works at, but I'm not sure if you'd want to go there. And also, the Hot Tubs where the Foxboros got there name from isn't far either. That's all I can think of right now. If you have any questions or need addresses, feel free to PM me How long have u been in the Bay now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anja Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I didn't make it to Christie Road Tight Wad Hill is anything BUT lame!! It is Just a hill from where you can see the local football stadium and maybe parts of the city. Well, I actually didn't make it ON the hill because there were fences all around it edit: where is the thumbs down smilie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabel Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 An awesome hill! I wanted to walk all the way up it just to say "Cheapskate on the hill" but we couldn't get in to the campus grounds. I saw it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downontelegraph Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie's always talking about that place, and well....records are fun I went in there! It was really cool 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?"

Anja Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 An awesome hill! I wanted to walk all the way up it just to say "Cheapskate on the hill" but we couldn't get in to the campus grounds. I saw it though Did you take pictures? I took one and then showed it around saying "Here!! Look! This is Tight Wad Hill!!" 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. 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 I've never heard him talk about Amoeba 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
