hey there!
It's "swiss" aka "limeginger" from various Stones boards - tho I don't post much lately - in San Francisco.
Who's going to Oakland? Wanna get together? Anyone doing anything about that yet, meaning, planning etc?
A friend owns a super cool restaurant/bar not far from the venue (10-minute drive OR 2 BART train stops away from Oracle Arena).
It's called Disco Volante. They generally close after Sunday brunch BUT will consider staying open Sunday May 5th for us---giving us the run of the place--just Stones fans.
Not saying the place is cool because the owner's my friend. I became friends with him BECAUSE he's cool and this is such a cool spot.
I'll betcha Stones tunes can be played--there's great food---fab vibe--awesome drinks---no TV--tons of on-street parking OR 1.5 block walk from the BART train. What think?
I need to give him a sense of whether he should do this. I think he should. The place would be ideal whether 30 or 100 people show up, but he can't stay open if it'll be, like, 6 of us

Let me know your thoughts - it's all getting very exciting, isn't it?!
