Tommorrow, I am moving to Berkeley, CA. My wonderful GF has been accepted for graduate school there, and we decided that the West was better than the East (at least in terms of temperature!).
Have you been to Berkeley/SanFran? Did you enjoy it? Meet a hippie there? What about Cali politics? After living in Texas my whole life, it is difficult to pick up a brand new political scene from scratch.
Wish me luck, and cheers to all of you

Yeah, good luck with your move Cy. Travel safely.
Hey, Cycloptichorn. I've been away for a while from able2know, but am now back in force (to some extent, at least...).
If there's anything you need to know about the area, don't hesitate to ask. Being born and raised in Oakland, and living in San Francisco for the last 25 years, I've thoroughly enjoyed living here, and could never imagine moving to any other state or metropolitan area. Berkeley is beautiful and full of progressives like myself, although personally I find it hard to refer to many Berkeley types as hippies these days (it is actually shunned by many). The artisan community is quite vibrant, and you can always look forward to the weekends when they shut down Telegraph for those to sell their arts and crafts.
Good luck and god speed!
