<p>8 Radiohead shows in the US, two of them at Cal...</p>
<p>Well, they're not performing inside San Francisco itself, so maybe they're expecting fans from the city (or, really, anywhere near NorCal) to go see them in Berkeley. That is pretty insane, though.</p>
<p>The Greek is the best non-winter venue in the Bay Area, physically speaking. Bigger than places like the Fillmore, but much more intimate than small stadiums.</p>
<p>Go to Ticketmaster, look up Greek Theatre (or UC Berkeley-Greek Theatre or something like that) and they had the whole listing for this summer.</p>
<p>Good luck with tickets. :) I'll be trying myself.</p>
<p>I guess I'll be competing for tickets with y'all. Good Luck!</p>
<p>yeah, ok, hyphy is definitely not 'west coast'. I live in los angeles, and I have never heard that **** before 30 seconds ago. I'm not defending crunk, but "hyphy"? really? i guess its like "hella". shudder.</p>
<p>Well, "like" is far more prevalent than "hella," and more annoying, and originated from So Cal (and now is everywhere . . . ew). Crunk is about as annoying is hyphy. Like, being so prevalent, almost always wins . . .</p>
<p>i think the prevalence kind of mitigates the irritation. hella is one of those things that you hear very rarely in southern california, unless as a joke about northern california. only really exaggerated uses of like (like, i was like going to the like mall, but then like i like felt sick) are really irritating, and they usually conjure images of the valley (but then again i live in LA, it might be different in other parts of the country). </p>
<p>the prevalence makes it impossible to associate with a specific place, so it cant be as funny. kinda like 'yall' and texas. if everyone in the country used 'yall', but we knew it originated in texas, would it be as annoying/funny?</p>
<p>all i know is that now there are two words, hyphy and hella, that are irritating and only associated with northern california.</p>
<p>The word that SoCal people say that bugs me is "grip," as in "hey, I've got a grip a homework to do." Or "there were a grip a people at that party last night." I have no idea where the word came from, but it's bad.</p>
<p>I don't think that many people say that in so cal, although I've heard people say that they do. I don't know if it did come from so cal.</p>
<p>never heard it. it might be one of those abominations from behind the orange curtain or something.</p>
<p>like, grip is hella so cal. im gonna go to "frisco" and get crunk and hyphy. lol. just kidding.</p>
<p>anyway, the food is really great around berklee, so for fun i think i'll eat out a lot haha.</p>

<p>So true. A few of my friends and I were out to dinner one night and we brought up fast food at home and suddenly all of us realized that none of us wanted to eat that disgusting crap like McDonald's or Taco Hell or anything like that because Berkeley food is just so diverse and so good.</p>
<p>^ Very true! And once you eat enough times at the DC then hamburgers, cheeseburgers and fries will never look the same, ever again.</p>
<p>unless you are super super hungry that you will probably eat anything.</p>
<p>The foods not so bad, and getting better. </p>
<p>People should write more comment cards! I wonder how many people realize that making their opinions heard might actually change things.</p>
<p>I agree, Crossroads food isn't too bad overall but for the last few months I have completely avoided the burgers and fries. The organic broccoli is SO good, you just gotta try it to believe me! It's so much better than the mushy ones they serve with the blue plate specials.</p>
<p>The comment card board at Foothill DC is a constant source of entertainment. Some background: the head chef's name is Conrad. My favorite card that I've seen all year long:</p>
<p>"Dear Conrad: A while ago, I wanted to have your babies, but then I realized that you'd make them, and they would taste like crap." Conrad's response: "Please keep in mind that babies are not for consumption."</p>
<p>There was another really good card that said "just curious to see what gets censored" and a bunch of words following it. Many of the words had white-out over them but the ones that were left were "breast," "kittens," "Voldemort," "goddamn Jesus," "Nazi," and some other stuff I can't remember. Good times.</p>
<p>lol!!!</p>
<p>so they actually respond to the messages? I had no idea. I have never filled one out. So I just post on the board and they write a response?</p>
<p>There are two sections, the "comment" and the "response." You hand it in, and they might post it with response.</p>
