The New Parkway Oakland Theater Video Tour | Queen of Outer Space
The New Parkway Oakland at 474 24th Avenue in the Uptown District, is something to see. It's kind of tucked way in a warehouse that's much larger than it looks, and is just around the corner from a corner cafe on Broadway and 24th that has been several different businesses over the years. The hosts for our video tour were Randy and Karen, who are the managers and operators and caretakers of The Parkway Oakland Theater for its owners - a group of 87 investors who gathered together and put blood, sweat, and tears into the renovation of a space that was once used by the Occupy Oakland Movement. Now, it picks up on the spirit of the original Parkway Oakland Theater, where you can lounge on big, overstuffed couches and eat great pizza or drink gourmet beer and wine - or just watch a movie. And it's in the movies where The Parkway gained its fame. When I visited, Randy and Karen were working out the color for the screening of "Queen of Outer Space," the 1958 sci-fi movie starring Zsa Zsa Gabor, Eric Fleming, and Laurie Mitchell. It's slated to be shown this weekend, starting Sunday. It will be presented by the QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE with guest host Queen's Slumber Party from Thrillville. For those who remember the first Parkway Theater on 18th St near Park and Lake Merritt, you recall Will Vaharo and his "Thrillville" - a time where a vintage film, or.. Well, let Will describe it: "For many years, Will "the Thrill" and his wife Monica "Tiki Goddess" Cortes hosted a live cult movie cabaret called "Thrillville" featuring classic drive-in/grindhouse cinema and live burlesque acts, which still influence his work. " And the good news is that "Thrillville" is still going strong at The New Parkway. So, come and visit this great place hidden in the middle of Uptown Oakland. Help keep the sprit of The Parkway Oakland Alive. And for those who don't know that history, check out the Parkway Oakland Playlist of videos at Zennie62 on YouTube - the only full video history of what happened to the old Parkway Theater, as it happened, including interviews with the original owners Kyle and Katherine Fisher.

Phil Simms Former NY Giants QB Acts Like Jerk On NFL Retired Players Settlement
When I questioned Phil Simms, the former NY Giants QB on the NFL Retired Players Settlement Issue at the 2013 NFL Draft Red Carpet, where a court awarded a $42 million judgement, instead of giving an answer in support of his fellow athletes, he decided to be a jerk and say "I don't know." If you look at him, he'd already decided to be rude to me before he opened his mouth. It's too bad he could not say something nice.

Oakland's New Racism Must Be Stopped
Oakland's New Racism Must Be Stopped. Oakland is being victimized by a new racist element that thinks it's OK to yell out at and taunt people because they're black. The last straw for me was at The Alley, which wasn't the bar's fault, but it happened there. A guy named Colin was with his wife Leila, and it was obvious he was drunk. But he used his condition as a mask for saying "You're black. I have seen a black person in a long time." And he was trying to talk to me about my being black, and saying that it's cool, and saying I'm a shithead, and I was having none of it. He was being racist, be avoiding the use of obviously racist terms. Again, Colin came up with this stuff out of the blue. I told hid wife, who was talking to my long time friends Monica and Daniel, to "get your husband under control," as she was standing next to the guy, but pretending to not hear him, when others did. And then there were the white guys who were yelling at me as I got into a cab on the night of the murder of Kiante Campbell "Oh, black guy going to Uptown," because they heard me say that's where he could take me. Then there's Oakland City Auditor Courtney Ruby's report that singles out two black councilmembers for an alleged City Charter violation that applies to all Oakland Councilmembers, and has during the reporting period, which goes back to 2010. That report news was picked up by a racist website. It has offensive race-based messages that should not be associated with Oakland. Oakland's not for burning. In all, this must stop.
