east bay home

The Craftsman bungalow. These modest houses (bungalow refers to a one or one-and-a-half-story house) have a rustic, woodcrafted look about them. They are also called "craftsman" because during the height of their popularity from 1890-1920, the owners themselves were often the designers. Examples of these houses can be found in Rockridge, Temescal, and around Milvia and Cedar Streets in Berkeley.

etd.love2011 — prohibitions

THANKS, underage kids and irresponsible "adults" overdosing and not keeping hydrated and straight-out stupid people jumping fences causing ridiculous chaos and just plain disrespectful partiers.

Now I'll have to sneak in my tube of organic pomegranate orange lip balm and ricola cough drops feeling like a paranoid druggie or some shit.

THANKS.

gd, kinda glad I'm still in Europe and security checks at raves are relatively quick, non-fuss..basically, AMAZING, at this current viewpoint.

I still love skills, though.
Good lineup, and Dyloot & crew working with sf officials, etc. to try to keep etd going despite all this shit and bad rap around raves.
