Berkeley vs. Berkeley

___________________________________________________


So... What happens when full on "College Football Crazy Cal Bears Berkeley" meets "Laid Back Liberal Natural Fibers Long Grey Haired Pony Tail Berkeley"?

A pretty weird scene is what you get. I was at the Jupiter on Shattuck Aveneue Saturday night for a little pizza and jazz. Kind of your classic Berkeley scene, when about 70,000 Cal football fans hit the streets after pounding on UCLA. Instant frat/alum party complete with Cal baseball caps and sweatshirts. I can't say I can remember when football fever was quite so rampant in Berkeley but it's a pretty nice change of pace, and the band playing at the Jupiter dug it as the crowd went from polite jazzster head bopping to "let's jam-on, dude".........
