How to survive Oakland (now a renegade thread)

Hey guys  I'm going to a renegade in oakland tonight. I'm so excited and have been looking forward to this all week. But being an 18 year old white guy is going to be scary. Advice? No psychedelics since this is rather sketchy. probably just a point or 2 of molly.

Oakland just makes me think of the Omni and the houndreds of death metal bands I have seen there and the Grateful Dead parking lot at the Coliseum. God damn the 90's where good, maybe a little hazy but damn... Oh the late 80's where pretty good also, watching the A's in there prime years.

It's right next to Berkeley. The Oakland posse is used to seeing nerdy white and asian kids, plus the usual assortment of hipsters and dykes (lesbian central = oakland). It's becoming gentrified. Besides, the trick to outsmarting the streets is easy. I've done it many times.
You just stay moving if you're in a car. If you're going somewhere, go there, and don't wander around on foot outside anywhere.
I ride my bike through rough parts of LA frequently. You think any of those cheese eating negros are going to catch me? I don't think so.
Lots of those hoods' are actually out of shape lowlifes. They're really nothing to be scared of.

QFT BRO . You act crazy, people do not mess with you. You dress down, as if you live there. people dont mess with you. this must explain why i have never been in a fight. I always act like im crazy. this also explains why my life is fucked up. I think i should do some thinking now

I went looking for a house once in Oakland, off of E-14th street. As I approached the address, the density of boarded up buildings with suspicious looking-black guys leaning against them increased until it looked like Crack House City, and I turned around and drove slowly out of that neighborhood, deciding NOT to rent a house there.

I've been to quite a few renegades/underground parties in Oakland. It's really not a big deal, the most common occurrence is cars being broken into while everyone is at the party. If you're driving, I'm assuming you're parking a ways down from the party as to not bring attention to and blow up the spot. But there's been many undergrounds & renegades I've been to where cars have been broken into, so don't leave valuables in the car. That would be my main concern, rather then worrying about getting mugged or jumped or something haha...
Just don't be walking alone across town to get to where ever the renegade is going down. I know of a few spots where this renegade you speak of might be going down . And don't do anything stupid that will bring attention to the party....
Be safe....Have a good one...

Oakland is not bad. Its reputation is way out of proportion. I'm a scrawny white boy and I've walked through some of the worst parts alone without ever having any trouble. Bring some pepper spray if you're really concerned.

I walked around Oakland all fucking day wearing a nice watch, Jordans and a backpack... I even had to go to some shady spots to score some bud.
But I am a beast. They didnt wann nun.
I had no problems, other than this one guy on the Bart who was drunk at 1pm, threw some papers into the seat in front of his and said "Don't sit there"... If he hadn't been polite to my lady friend I might have wanted to hit him in the face right after he got off the Bart and then hopped back in right before the doors closed. That would have been fun.

Heres how it went down -Leave house at 8ish, -Arrive in Berkley and call "renegade hotline". -Find out where the check point is. -Arrive at check point which turned out to be a trading card/LAN party store, go in back, payed and got hand stamped. Also attain paper with directions. -Directions took us to safeway parking lot in Oakland. Had to put white piece of paper on driver side dash board. -Wait 20 mins. -Van came to pick us up. Guy driving it smoked a joint with us. -Dropped us off behind a warehouse next to train tracks. -Get in, bought legit Molly, didn't take it yet. -10-15 mins, music cuts out and everyone had to be quite. -had to turn lights on to look like legit warehouse -Cops come in; Whos the DJ here? ...no answer. Ok everyone go home >< Pics, it really happened

Bummer....
Only once have I been to an underground party where the cops broke it up, and it so happened to be in Oakland. There were quite a few people too, probably around 400 or so. I was not sober but had no choice other than drive out of there as they cops were forcing people to leave. There was a check point around the corner which was super sketch, fortunately I did not turn down that street. Before we left we got word to try to come back a little later, so my buddy and I drove to a Burger King to get a bit of food and kill time. Went back an hour later and the party started back up & continued into morning in the warehouse basement.

How badly do you want an invite to GR ?....I just might be able to help you out, just maybe 
How did you find out about the renegade you went to last night?
I'm guessing you're relatively new to these sorts of thangs?...As fun as they can be, I would try to take it easy and pick & choose parties wisely, only go here and there as to not get burnt out on them. I remember when I first started going to undergrounds/renegades, I was wanting to head out to the bay every weekend since there is literally something going on all the time out there....Now I only go maybe once every month or two.
Unless you're straight down for the cause, if you can go sober and still have a good time then by all means have at it. And by sober I mean not on MDMA or any sort of psychedelic, pot and a little bit of alcohol doesn't count. Some people are into it for the drugs which really waters down the vibes IMO, others are into it for the sense of community and meeting like minded people....
The few renegades I've been to are more on the "ravey" side, candy kids, trance/house/hardcore etc, and a younger crowd....There's a whole lot of awesome underground parties I've been to that I wouldn't label as raves though they do have a lot of the same elements and atmosphere of a "rave", but they generally have an older somewhat more mature crowd, and no candy kids ....Bass music, glitch, dubstep, hip hop, other various IDM....Those are the sorts of things I attend.
Undergrounds like these, I was at both of these...Video doesn't do justice of course

VERY BADLY and sense of community is what I strive for. hell I'm in the pub of shroomery aren't I?! I've attended etd.pop '09 and '10, '09 being the best of coarse. At etdpop '10 there were a lot of way to serous looking people and seizures everywhere. It was scary. I attended my first renegade called "Metal Slug" about 2 weeks ago. That was in knoxville, and it was a 2 and half hour ride on cutty ass roads with cliffs and shit. Then get off that road to a gravel road that was bumpy for about 30 mins. And boom huge bonfire, bad ass sound system, cool people, hookahs, weed everywhere. I will never attend a legal rave again. This whole system of you gotta know someone to be someone is rather stubern but respectable, it filterers out the weirdos and the "I thizz every weekend kids". I found out about all these events from my friend Scott, who finds out his shit from his gf, or friend, i dont give a fuck what they are. any way she gets it from the kids who attend Santa Rosa Junior College, who get it from galaxy raver.
