2008-06-26T05:45:32Z

There are not many veggie restaurants in Oak Park but one has managed to stay around for almost a year, Au Lac Veggie is an Asian restaurant that is exclusively veggie.
I love the "chicken" and potato curry.

Help keep this gem around.

Bike survey for Freeport Bl usage

2008-06-26T02:55:41Z

Do you use Freeport Blvd as a route, much, either on bike, in car, or as a pedestrian?

They are thinking of putting n a bike lane on the section between Sutterville and Vallejo and reducing the number of car lanes.

The survey is to get some community opinions.

Wire sculpture artist?

2008-06-24T10:02:49Z

Looking for a guy in the Sacto area that does sculpture our of wire that are suitable for outside installation (homeowner size- not commercial size). I'm pretty sure he works out of his home. I've only seen one piece and it was a figure study of a person doing a handstand. Guy who had it could not recall the name of the artist or where I could locate him, so any help is much appreciated!!

FRIDAY @ Marilyn's: Sugar Shack, 2Me, and The Bennys

2008-06-12T04:46:52Z

Hey folks,

Just wanted to put the word out on a kickass show this Friday night @ Marilyn's. The Bennys (www.myspace.com/thebennys) open the show at 9pm. They're a SAMMMIE winning R&B/Funk act with heavy doses of chill and good vibes.

2Me plays at 10pm. Based in Sacramento, these folk 'n roll troubadours have toured from Seattle to Savannah, Boston to Austin to San Diego, and a hell of a lot of spots in between. They've played in the back woods of North Carolina, the bayous of Mississippi, and the cold Mountains of Montana. Kick it.

Sugar Shack will bring it on home to funky town starting at 11:30pm. Singer Becca Neunebel's voice has graced countless area recordings, and even ended up on a handful of internationally distributed video game sound tracks. The groove is satiable from start to finish, and you're guaranteed to be a hot, sweaty, wigglin' mofo if you take advantage of the atmosphere they're bringin.

Come join us. It will definitely NOT suck.

Why is it so hard to meet people at school?

2008-06-02T22:23:11Z

I go to Cosumnes River college, but man is it hard to get people to talk there. I always thought that going to school with people that are my same age group (or younger) would cause us all to talk and make friends easily. But man was I wrong. It seems like people either already have their own cliq and stick to it, or just don't say anything to anybody at all. What gives? And here I thought I was going to find a nice girlfriend in college and be merry. So much for that thought eh. Anyone else have this same situation, or am I compleatly wrong and just a nonsocial loser. (I know I'm just asking for smartass comments, lol)

Motorcycle friendly?

2008-03-07T05:53:18Z

So... after some soul searching I've finally decided that I'm moving to Midtown from Roseville.

I haven't been living in the area for too horribly long so I was hoping for some pointers. What I'm wondering is how motorcycle friendly is Sac?

I really don't see that many other urban bikers here, is it uncommon? Parking seems a bit scarce too, a few apartments that I've seen so far at least have some protected parking or spots that only a bike could fit into so I don't think that finding a home base will be a problem but other places might be. I'd just hate to see my bike run over, again...

I would totally ride a bicycle if the time and distances were different between work and school, but I can't so a bike is the next economical choice for me.

Any thoughts?

Places where me and my dog can go rollerblading

2008-01-28T05:17:36Z

Hello all,
I moved back here about a year ago and recently added a boxer to my family. We love to go rollerblading together but so far have only gone around the 'hood. I'm looking for dog friendly parks, not dog park, where we could go and where the asphalt isn't all beat up and in bad need of resurfacing, like it was at Carmichael park. Hiking spots would also be appreciated.

I've looked online at the parks webpages but they don't give much information about rollerblading so I was hoping for some personal experiences.

Also, is there some kind of cabaret scene here with live shows, I seem to find out about all the cool stuff after it's happened and yes I do pick up the N&R.

Thanks in advance all

Best burgers in town?

2008-01-25T00:11:22Z

I was driving through reno a couple of weeks ago and stopped by The Nugget downtown for a meal in their little diner. The "Awfukl Awful" special was a great hanburger plopped atop a huge pile of hot french fries. it was one of the best burgers that I have ever had. Only $4.50, too! It was full of very good seasoned beef with lots of condiments included. I don't think it would be easy to do better at home.

It's on my list to stop there again if I'm in Reno.

Now, I've ~heard~ that there are good burger places in Sacramento, but I haven't found them, yet.

I think there's supposed to be some meat locker place that makes burgers that are good. Other then that, has anyone had the Nugget's "Awful Awful"(as in "awfully good" special?

Forbidden City Chinese?

2008-01-21T19:23:16Z

Where did it go? We drove past the little 'hole in the wall' on Marconi in Carmichael (is there another location?) tucked in between a Taco Bell and an Auto parts store, and it's now a Thai restaurant. The name of the new Thai place escapes me now, but my (almost) husb says it means it's southern Thai style cooking which is much too hot and spicy for me.
Where will we get our walnut prawns and shrimp fried rice, when we are in the mood for a 'shrimp fest'?

wind/rain damage?

2008-01-06T18:44:52Z

How is everyone? The electricity at work went out at 9am, and never came back on - the boss finally gave up and let me go home at 2:30 today. Home had electricity, but some serious roof damage from wind. If my honey had not been working from home today we wouldn't have been able to start emergency repairs, and the roofer guy said it's likely our living room ceiling would have collapsed by then.
On my short drive from work to hom (Carmichael) I saw 2 trees uprooted in front of houses - wasn't able to make out how much damage, but at least one had busted up the sidewalk there.
And more rain expected tomorrow - hope all my roof leaks are well patched! We need a completely new one, but that's the owner/property managers decision. *sigh*

Relocation advice

2007-12-31T19:32:56Z

Hello and good morning,

In 2001 I decided I couldnt live in the Bay area any more and moved to Arizona...... there were several reason why this move made sense to me at the time (separation and divorce makes people do weird things). I have had many wonderful experiences living in AZ but I am ready to move back to the best place on earth (Northern CA) I am looking at Hayward Sacramento, and Sonoma County (where I am from). I am looking for housing and a job in Sacramento. The condo has to be a in an area that I feel safe walking my way to friendly dog at night near Sac State (no more than 8 miles or so), preferably close to a dog park and close to a freeway that will get me to 80. I also need to be close to a belly dance studio. I know nothing about the neighborhoods I am finding condos in (in my price range) but do have a general idea of where to stay away from thanks to a friend. I also know that like Phoenix and Mesa you can have a side of the street that is a nice area and the other side can be not so nice Anyone have any suggestions?

is it too much to ask?

2007-12-24T00:30:31Z

Seriously, I'm looking for feedback on this.
We have a position in our office that is impossible to find a decent reliable and dedicated person for. I wonder if the boss is asking too much? This position is nowhere near what my duties are, so I'm not sure.
Basically, this person - I'll say He, because there is some physically demanding stuff, but a strong healthy woman could certainly do it - has to:
1) assist in the manufacture of braces, minor repair etc. this also includes mixing and pouring plaster to make a mold of the patients body, then form the hot plastic around it, which results in a custom made body brace (for people with spinal fractures or after surgery) Add padding, straps, and trim edges for comfort.
2) delivery driver - pick up and deliver (in the company van) back and foot/ankle braces to our local manufacturing company. Also pick up our orders of sheets of (heavy) plastic and plaster/vermiculite that we use in the manufacture of braces here, too.
3) maintain stock items. Off the shelf wrist, knee, neck braces and stuff that we use in the repair of same - like velcro strapping, liners for knee braces and other supplies. When an item is given to a patient, he needs to be sure it's ordered and replaced in stock. He needs to let the front office know when a custom item has arrived by UPS, because that patient probably has an appt in a day or 2 to pick it up.

He doesn't have to see patients, no computer work, and definitely plenty of down time. This is a great office; laid back, competent patient care, and if someone is interested in sports injury, paraplegia effects, and general orthopedic bracing protocol, they could learn ALOT for their future career. My boss is a self made man, really nice guy, and he is excellent with evaluating body mechanics support. He would love to mentor someone competent, who is interested, and willing to WORK while learning.

Why can we not find a person capable of showing up on time, doing the work, and BATHING before coming back again the next day?

(if you know someone interested in employment, pm me with info, and I'll have my boss call for interview) Office in Carmichael

I know that whenever I get sick of drinking the tepid, bitter coffee in the never-washed office coffee pot, I walk a block over to Temple Coffee and Tea at 10th and J. Their coffee is strong but smooth-tasting every day of the week. But I've heard good things about Old Soul and others in the area. Any favorites?

Perverts only (its okay if you are still in the closet)

2007-11-09T07:53:23Z

I am organizing a day of politically incorrect fun, if you are a pervert and either enjoy shooting guns or would like to learn in a safe and perverted atmosphere, this event is for you. First event will be in Sacramento although bay area folks are welcome and encouraged to attend. If there is enough interest I will organize one in the bay area at some later time as well.

Event will take place at a formal shooting range on a Sunday in Sacramento. Cost for shooting and or lessons will be about $15 and will cover use of plenty of guns and a pile of .22 ammo. Lots of other things will be available to shoot but for that stuff you have to buy or bring ammo. People are welcome to bring their own guns although I will have a pile of guns and pistols to shoot if people don't have their own.

Chest thumping and ego trips are not allowed, cbt and cunt torture is if you are subtle.

I can in general teach most of you to outshoot the non-perverts on the range, no guarantee if this will upset your partner. I hope to have some women there as instructors as well but while I know a lot of women who shoot well, I don't know any instructors (hello?)

If this offends you, I apologize and just pretend it is something like Roman showers and don't watch! If you are interested, feel free to ask questions publicly or privately.

PARTY BUS TO SF - 11/16....2Me & Tim Reynolds @ Red Devil Lounge

2007-11-06T15:54:35Z

Hey folks,

My band, 2Me (www.2memusic.com), is opening for Tim Reynolds in SF on Friday, 11/16. We did two party busses in 2006, and we've deemed this a great reason to do another one this year. The show is at The Red Devil Lounge on Polk & Clay.

Tickets for the bus are $45. This includes your ticket to get into the show ($18 at the door otherwise), the bus ride to and from the show, and ALL THE BOOZE YOU CAN DRINK ON THE BUS. It'll leave from the Mandango's on Fulton & Marconi around 6pm and arrive back there around 2am after the show.

Anybody who's interested is welcome to send me a message or call me at 916-996-4105.

open wide... no, not your mouth, your wallet!

2007-10-16T18:05:15Z

the only thing more painful and irritating than going TO the dentist, is trying to find a new one.
If you are in Sacramento area, (especially north - citrus heights, roseville, or carmichael)and love your dentist, can you please give me the office info?
My dentist sold his practice to focus only on his specialty of pediatric dentistry, and now I need 2 new crowns! In calling for details to the new staff, I'm told the new doc doesn't even offer nitrous gas for procedures. This may be not a big deal to some, but to me it is a red flag on the quality of general care provided. I'm not looking forward to paying my share of cost for this expensive work AND dealing with the next days muscle spasms and stiff neck that used to happen to me before the miracle of my introduction to 'happy gas.'
Anyway, my day has already been full of the anxiety of PPO coverage, In or Out of Network provider, and the list of dentists provided by my insurance company as preferred plan members. It's such a crapshoot to find a competent medical professional these days, so if anyone can suggest a dentist they trust and are happy with, I'd appreciate it!

Hugs

2007-09-26T02:55:38Z

I have a fellow friend, many of you may know him from Burning man as Halcyon. He has a weekly group hug called hug nation. Halcyon is taking the group hug on tour, and is looking for a place for a good group hug. Does anyone know a good location in Sacramento where we can all get together for a group hug?

What is hug nation?(www.hugnation.com)
Hug Nation is a world-wide Group Hug.

Those pesky oceans keep us from doing the weekly hug physically, so we do it virtually. Thousands of people around the world gather in front of computers to hug themselves and the people around them at a set time. Rather than a shared physical space, it is a shared mental space.

Regardless of where you are on Tuesday at 1-pm (PST), you can join the Group Hug.

Squeeze yourself in your car or in the supermarket. Hug your spouse or co-worker. Just visualize the thousands worldwide who are joining you at that moment.

Think of it as a sort of prayer -- a communal expression of compassion. It is a weekly reminder that we are connected and we all far more similar than we are different. Everyone can use a hug.

Thanks

So, I moved out to Sacramento about three weeks ago to get this killer job. I knew I'd get along alright here, but things have been way cooler that I anticipated. Not temperature-wise though... But, there's nothing like wearing a t-shirt and shorts at 10:30 at night to put me into a good mood. I'm getting the feeling that I'm gonna like it here a lot.

So, anyone who has a boat that wants to swap woodwork for sailing lessons?

Claudias ashes

2007-05-05T06:56:22Z

The voice of an angel. The voice of a demon.

Those attending any of Northern California-based CLAUDIA'S ASHES' live rituals are often left torn deciding between the two, as frontwoman Stephanie Michelle's voice transitions seemlessly between ethereal singing and menancing metal growls. She moves, eyes closed, in a trance as her band churns out the heart of her music behind her. Sean "Bug" Flynn thrashes about, his fingers moving like fire over the fretboard of his guitar, while Kerry Fisher keeps the low-end fluid and precise.

Since 2002, the music of Claudia's Ashes has slowly evolved into what it is today: dark, beautiful, unique. Although a one-woman project behind the scenes (Stephanie Michelle writes and records all of the music on her lonesome), Stephanie credits the newfound energy and life that has been inserted into her blend of goth, electronic and metal music to her live bandmates. The music iteself simply cannot be lumped into any on genre, as it encompasses a range of styles so as to make pin-pointing and labeling a difficult task. With soaring synths, crunchy industrial guitar riffs and melancholic vocals, it's no wonder that fans of several different musical genres adore this band. Covering topics such as lust, despair, heartbreak, horror and fantasy, the lyrics are just as brutally honest as the music.

MY TAKE on HERE

2007-04-21T20:53:03Z

I'll probably get told to "go back to..." by some who read this.
But Ive been here alomost two years, after relocating from L.A. and this seems to be a very confused and drastically polarized town, enroute to big cityhood. But it wont stop and ask for directions cause it is afraid to grow up. Seems that Ol' Sactown still wants to think of itself as this quaint lil country cowtown. Taxpayers vote against anything that might lure prosperity and cultural expansion. The streets are too narrow and most dont lead to anything worth the trip. There is no covenience in metro nightlife because businesses care only about the state employee dollar and therefore, seem to be too lazy or fearful to operate beyond 6pm.

Public transit is equally inadequate and seems interested in serving only itself, being unavailable to typical public needs. Socially there are only two groups: The snobbish civil employees who dont know that our tax dollars pay for all those croissants at 'La Bou' And the broke down homelss, tweaking depressives lurking about the north downtown/16th street areas. I could keep going but I think Shaquille O'Neal was right: Maybe "L.A. should be the Capitol".

***********************************

Fri Apr 20, 2007 1:49 am (PST)
Well it looks like the weatherman is going to cooperate after all . . . at least on Saturday, so Bikes & Brats is go for launch!

This is the "ride" that makes learning fun . . . the ride that feeds your mind, your body and your passion for cycling!

From 10:00am to 12:00pm it's bicycle maintenance classes hosted by BikeHiker Steve Loebach of Carmichael Cycle, including (as time permits):

1) Changing a tire/ flat repair

2) Wheel true/spoke repair (including making it home with a broken spoke)

3) Chain checking, cleaning and lubrication

4) Brake Check and adjustment

5) Fixing shift problems ("autoshifting" , chain jump, etc.)

6) General Bike Cleaning and Lubrication

7) Recommended Bike Maintenance Schedule

The class is "hands on", so be prepared to get down and dirty with your bike. If possible, please bring tools, including (if you have them):

1) Tire levers

2) Floor pump

3) Multitool

Otherwise, you can share with others. You may want to bring a few $$$s too if you need to purchase tools, lube or ???.

Then at noon, we'll be serving up FREE Bratwurst (German hot dogs) and Louisiana Hot Links for lunch, expertly prepared by none other than our own, Mr. Bar-B-Que himself, John Kramer.

After lunch, our Bicycling Diva, Paulette Houser, will lead a choice of 26 or 32 mile flat rides in the area, and get you back in time to avoid the promised evening drizzle.

Why I Wrote the Book

2007-01-18T21:49:53Z

When I first started dancing as a young woman, I thought belly dance was a fun dance, a way to stay fit and was a good study break. But over the years, 16 to be exact, as I have matured and hopefully gotten older and wiser as well, I have come to the realization that belly dance is a beautiful marriage between the spiritual and the sensual/body. It has become almost a form of moving meditation for me. I feel connected to something greater to myself and often experience a form of ecstacy and pure joy difficult to describe.

Anyway, I have been so inspired and in many ways healed by this ancient and most beautiful art form and frustrated with other people's perception of it as a sleazy dance or sexy entertainment at best, that with my Masters in Counseling and my expertise as professional dancer, I decided to write a book, Belly Dance Wisdom, sharing with others, especially the general public, how the dance has the capacity to connect a woman to her powerful female wisdom and to a female spirituality sorely lacking in our culture. I am pleased to say, the Sacramento interviewed me on the book, see below, and so I sincerely hope the word gets out so I can begin to uplift the dance as the purest form of art, a transforming healing art. It is my dream that one day the dance will be as respected as ballet and seen as the amazing dance art as well as healing art that it is. No other dance can merge the sensual/sexual aspects of a women with her soul/spirituality as this dance!

Techno Scene in Sacramento?

2006-12-15T23:22:49Z

We're coming up to visit next weekend and want to check out the nightlife. Does anybody here know much about the techno scene, either above or underground, in the 916?

I heard about a venue called the Silk Bar but I saw that it's now for sale. Where are people going for good beats in town?

Thanks for your help!

There's an irish music session happening onthe last Tuesday of each month.

That's tonight.

So, if you want to grab a pint of beer and a plate of food and sit and mellow out to some good Irish traditional tunes, head over there.

The last time I was there, the music was already started by 7PM and went on past 9.

Help SAVE live music at The Distillery !! 12/1 - BENEFIT SHOW !!

2006-11-27T16:09:29Z

A few months ago, a new upscale apartment complex opened up across the street from The Distillery. The people that moved in are complaining about the noise and the city has imposed a sound ordinance. There has been live music at The Distillery for 15 years and now some new rich pricks are trying shut it down.
The only way to keep it alive is to soundproof the venue.
Friday, December 1st there will be a benefit show to do just that, so come out and show your support for Sacto music
