This episode is dedicated to the memory of Alex Petralia, beloved by the Bay music and art communities.
The episode title refers to what I wrote about Alex and his fellow bandmates in Nopes for Hits of the Bay 2021:
"One of the best to ever do it."
***
We're still raising funds for Eli's Mile High Club-- gofundme here. For what it's worth I contacted my Oakland City Councilperson Zac Unger about the patio issue and he said "I've spoken with the planning department and the mayor's office about this and they're on it. There is a lot of desire to fix this and make it right. I can't direct city staff to do specific things, but I have definitely made it clear that keeping Eli's open is a priority!" Let's not take his word for it: write to your Oakland City Councilperson here.
