hi folks! I moved to Emeryville in January. My partner has lived here for six or seven years, and as I got to know him I got to know and love this little town, and moved here myself. Except actually truthfully, the back of my building is Emeryville and my front door is in Oakland, but please don't kick me off this tribe, Oakland is a big scarey huge place, I get lost just thinking about driving into Oakland. Someone needs to chop it up into 25 smaller towns to make in manageable. So I never say I'm in Oakland, besides, my area code is 94608. and my mail comes as 'Emeryville'. I guess, I am a wannabe, but am so close I can touch E-ville without leaving my apt so hopefully you will let me pass as close enough :)
I am glad to have an opportunity to get know my neighbors on tribe! there are quite a few really cool people who live in this town. If any of you know the Manzanita Restaurant, on 40th and Linden, that unicorn sculpture out front is mine. Its not city-sanctioned art, its guerrilla-art, check it out at night when the eyes are lit up! Manzanita is a great restaurant btw, serving organic vegan, and I love it even though I'm not vegan. I'm nearby in a live/work offering Massage & Breathwork for those who are interested (check out my profile or pull up a search on my services) and hopefully soon, making more art too. (although I need a little shop space to do more sculpture if anyone knows of any...)
looking forward to getting to know all of you here.
