Haha, I've been on the 'Play Minnesota' thread since 2011. I will lay off. Maybe I just think I can will them into coming here!

Keep it up! Eventually it will happen. Hopefully this year.

So San Diego LA X2 San Fran and Oakland?

They aren’t gonna play Oakland and San Fran.   There’s likely 2 x Oakland.   

We thought the same about Miami and West Palm Beach in 2016.

Didn't the Golden State Warriors just build their new arena in San Fran? Why play in that old arena in Oakland when you can play in the new one in San Fran? Scheduling?

Because it’s roaracle, it’s special to us Bay Area people. I’d prefer oracle to chase center. Also it’s probably cheaper to book. 

Is the Oracle easy to get to from downtown SF?

Yep. Just hop on Dublin/Pleasanton Bart train and it drops you off right in front. 

Thank you for the info. Thinking about flying in for those shows but would prefer to stay in SF.

I have stayed at the motels near arena in the past...pretty sketchy.

Ya i wouldn’t recommend staying near oracle area. There are however nice areas to stay in Oakland or you can stay in SF and it’s a short train ride away 

Your not serious. Oakland is not a place u want to stay. Stay in s.f it's better than oakland. U still have to be careful in s.f as well. Its definately not your family friendly neighborhood. 

I am serious. You must not be from here or visit SF or Oakland often. 

Lived in cali my whole life. But hey what do I no. Lived in s.f and I've been to oakland meny of times. What area are you considering safe. 

Lived in the Bay Area my entire life. 

In Oakland Piedmont, rock ridge, jack London square area, the area near 19th st Bart station by fox theater off telegraph just off the top of my head. Tons of great restaurants, tap rooms, breweries etc

In sf just stay away from the tenderloin and you’re fine. 

Your safety is not guaranteed anywhere, however just my personal experience living in the city 10 years (where we started raising our family, yes it is family friendly) and spending lots of time in Oakland (often with my family for As games, warrior parade, Jack London square) I can honestly say i have never felt unsafe. Ya we encounter the occasional tweeker from time to time but that’s usually on Bart 🙈. 

Don't forget to watch out for the Zodiac...

I'm thinking Quebec City is the right play for me.  The drive to NY is about the same, but taking everything else into consideration, would be much more expensive.  Would love to have a date for that show locked in.

Water as the reason pizza/dough/bagels etc is a certain way is a myth that has been debunked.  It’s not the water, it is airborne yeast cultures that determine reactions within dough, and therefore flavor and since airborne yeast varies by climate/geography/temperature etc, you get different results in your starters when making dough.  Think sf sour dough vs ny pizza dough.  If you took water from San Fran and tried to make their sourdough in Schenectady ny, you’d only get part of what makes it sourdough.  Same reason neopolitan crust tastes different than dough made in Verona- not the water it’s the yeast in the air.  

Just had to say this because some people who own pizza places and some chef’s actually spend the $$ to “import” water from nyc under the false belief that it’s going to make a difference in their dough.  If you took a starter made in nyc and used that continuously going forward to make your dough and kept it alive with your own flour and water, it would be the closest you could get to the real ny deal, although even that would eventually be affected by the airborne yeast in your area.

Do you think a lot of pizza places still maintain sourdough starters for their pizza?

Is there a summary of the dates/cities that we are hoping for? What are the current hints?

Tom Tucker: “And now we go to Ollie Williams for the Pearl Jam tour update. Ollie?”
Ollie Williams: “They gonna play!!”
Tom Tucker: “Thank you Ollie.”
