Had some family surprise me with a birthday get together so obviously I wasn't able to make it. Sorry guys
I'm down for whatever other shenanigans you guys plan in the future though.
I did wanna give a quick review of Nobu in Palo Alto while I'm here.
DON'T GO!
Went on my birthday and had a horrible experience from start to finish. We went later in the afternoon and we were presented with limited food options that were far from what we were expecting. The staff is rude and inconsiderate and the management couldn't care any less. I even explained how much of a disappointment it was given our excitement and they just didn't care. It was a huge let down that I hope they will get around to fixing after a few months. They didn't even have a sample or omakase menu!
We ended up in the Oakridge mall of all places and got some Sanraku sushi. It wasn't planned but I loved the food we got there and the service was great. I recommend that place highly as probably one of the best South Bay sushi spots.

Yeah yesterday was really fun.
That sucks bro :/ Sanraku is actually pretty good. Went there last year for my birthday and got the sushi and sashimi platter and my gf ordered a roll that were both really good. They have a good selection of sake too but I got the Onikoroshi and otokoyama sake. Both were very damn good.
Haven't gone back since though as Sen Dai in Milpitas is my go to spot for sushi.

Mall sushi being the best sushi in the south bay?
My god, I made a huge mistake!
I'll be in LA for a few days, already planning on going to AYCE on Wednesday. 🙌

To be honest it's not really mall sushi. Oakridge has two transplant restaurants with Jinya Ramen and Sanraku being there. Kind of a weird place to open a shop up if you ask me, but they both are good in my book.
You should check out Katsuya in LA too, it's pretty good.

So tried some Black Bark and my goodness was that good. That might just be some of the best bbq I've had here in the bay. Thank you all for suggesting that place in the meetup thread.
I was sad to see validation at the japantown parking garage is now increased a whole $20 more than the last time I was there. That and they got rid of the table flipping arcade game.... WHY?!?!?! I need to vent my anger out on a family of digital foreigners.

Is the next one for early or late August?
I'm kinda laughing at the hubris of tech companies setting up shop all over the bay, where they will be flooded in 100 years.
Google to move to Stockton!
And the 101 will be named the South Bay Bridge. 😂

Oh man, definitely gonna check this place out
Already workshopping a movie in a world set a couple hundreds years in the future, and Atlantis is actually the former Google headquarters.
Let's go fellas.
I'm down for Friday.
Let's hold on a minute!
I'm going to get fat.
AYCE sushi last Monday, fast food Thursday-Sunday at Comic-Con, Gen AYCE KBBQ Tuesday, Shake Shack today. My body needs rest. 😭
Bu-bu-but the Atlantic is on the other side. Pacifis?
Can't do this Friday, let's plan a day in August (at least for my own selfish convenience)
Haha no shit you're like 3 miles from me.
Well the rest of the world is underwater. Pacific and Atlantic joined.

Not sure if there any UC Berkeley Letters of Science/CS folks here but if you are, do you guys have a recommendation for a good tecnhical upper div course that's 3-4 units? I'm currently mapping out what courses I should take for the next 3 years.
Already considering taking CS 162, 189, 188, 170, 164, and 161.
Can't meet with a major advisor since I'm undeclared and taking the CS prerequisites still.
Don't really know where else to ask for advice and I know there are some Cal students here so anything will be helpful.

You try the Berkeley subreddit?
PM me.
I forgot the number (was it 162?) but don't bother with the UI class. It was a waste of time.
Just checking in since there seems to be a few Cal students popping in and saying hi. I'll be on campus starting the week of the 12th (for transfer orientation). Would be happy to see a GAFer or two on campus (and outside of that, of course).
Until then I'll be putzing around on the Peninsula. I'm actually really looking forward to school starting, as I kinda jumped the gun and have had nothing to do for a couple of weeks here.

Anyone know of any high quality DDR machines in the South Bay? I can't play doubles without 8 functional arrows --> --> <-- -->
The Boardwalk in Santa Cruz has an ITG2 cab, which is a little ways away. There used to be more around here several years ago but idk where they went (there was one at the Jungle at one point, there was one at a Lazertag place several years ago).
As for just DDR, there's a Round 1 arcade as Eastridge. Back in the day I used to go to Nickel City to play DDR all the time (and Chuck E Cheese for Pump LOL) but Nickel City recently closed down and last time I checked they had a kinda crappy SuperNOVA cab anyways. I also know that Great America had a DDR Extreme cab that I played on sometimes at one point.
I mostly just play OpenITG/LR2 on PC these days instead because I'm too lazy/anxious/cheap to leave the house to go to an arcade tbh. So I dunno how some of these are.
ALSO, you missed it, but last weekend at CAX someone brought a functional old DDRMAX cab that was modded to run OpenITG and it had like every relevant song ever loaded onto it.
