I'm coming down from Seattle for the show but I lived in the Bay Area for a few years. Radio is a decent dive bar in downtown Oakland and it's only about 4 blocks from the venue. The address is 435 13th St. and it's right down the street from the 12th St. BART stop. I would definitely be up for a meetup before the show. Edited by user 02 October 2012 14:54:38(UTC)

It's getting down to the wire and as this is thus far the only "local" recommendation, we should probably reach a consensus. The only other viable alternative I've seen is The Den, which is located in the same building as The Fox (get it?) Theatre.

Another option is Disco Volante if people are looking to get food as well. It's also about 4-5 blocks from the Fox Theatre. I've never been to the Den. I've heard it's nice but I believe the prices are a little steep. It sounds like quite a few people are coming in from out of town for the show so it would be cool if we could arrange something.

I read some discussions pertaining to the ticket sales. My company actually did some consulting work with TM. They came to us with a complain: too many bots are infiltrating the site, buying and reselling tickets with none of the extra profits going to the artists (yea right...). They want us to build a predictive model to minimize the number of bots finalizing transactions. One would think TM wants to eliminate all bots no? Nope. They want to keep some bots so that events appear to be "selling out" fast. We did some data testing. Built a really good model. Base on the first 3 clicks, we can predict with 75% probability whether the user is a bot. Results were amazing. Then TM dropped us without paying a cent. Word has it they wanted to hire their own analytics team and build their own model. Judging from what's happening...I don't think they got very far.

very much would like to do something. The Den is nice and had good beer selections when I was there in 2009, but food was lacking. In fact, my trips to Oakland for shows have lead to bad food before shows -- Taco Bell in 09 and some Morracon restaurant prior to New Order in 2005. Saw Hooky, ate Morracon, felt funky afterwards and did not eat much...not my cup of tea.
Would love to see something come together!

Check out the link above, all the feedback is positive, it's near the venue, Murky has been there before and rates it, what's not to like? Radio gets my vote. Murky - what time can you get there?

Disco Valente looks like a good option AFTER the gig.

Radio seems fine. I wasn't joking about The Den, though. I was there for two shows last year and the only people there appeared to be the concert goers. No dress code inforced on show nights perhaps?

I can get to Radio as early as 6:00. I don't think they have much in the way of food so I may get dinner elsewhere in downtown beforehand ( Tamarindo Antojeria is good if you like Mexican tapas). Yep, Disco Volante is a better post-show option since they serve food past midnight.

How about The Trappist for some serious gourmet Belgium brews! http://www.thetrappist.com/A few more blocks away but definitely walkable to the Fox. |

I'll be there as well, probably around 5 if not earlier.
Looks like the UK contingent will be there around 6-ish.

Looks like the UK contingent will be there around 6-ish. I don't think I've ever met anyone from the board before. Is there an easy way to spot the group? Just look for Viking paraphernalia?

Radio doesnt look that big from the outside so just listen out for English accents would be one way. You may see Viking pins on people's shirts too, that would be a sign! See you later.
