Mr. P's doing an artist-in-resident thing at an arts center in Oakland so we went over the Bay Bridge to drop some equipment off Sunday.

This one's for Tony, it's the long lasting industrial lube with applicator nib:

I saw parts of Oakland that I hadn't seen before. The upscale, unique shopping and restaurant part as opposed to the scary crackden part. Then we went through Berkeley and saw all the places where I've bought things through the mail or on-line like Dharma Press and such. Stumbled across famous restaurants like Chez Panisse just hanging out like a normal eatery on the main drag.

And less famous places like King Dong fine Cantonese dining.
This one's for Bob:

It's kind of a crappy picture, but you get the idea.

We had dinner at a place called Isobune where sushi floats by in little boats across from the largest Birkenstock store I've ever seen.
