KetamineKatalyst said: It is called the Hell House by many, yeah, but I don't remember there being hell spray painted on the outside. They may have painted over it before I stayed there though, the house was around for 10+ years (mainly as a squat sort of place).
I met a lot of crazy people there from all over the country.
What a nutty place though!!
I think we're talking about the same place. I've know people who've lived there. It used to have a big ol hole in the walls when I was a kid. I think they fixed that at one point though (as with the spraypaint).

Cool. It was such a large hub for people, it's amazing how many people have been there or just heard of it.

Right on. I hope they reopened it up for people, it was a great place and a valuable resource, although sketchy sometimes.
And watch out for them scabies! Hehehe

Yeah, it's an anarchist type house, and a lot of times there were buses out front. It was a hub for traveling people, a place for bands to practice, it's where berkeley liberation radio used to be based out of. It was a radical kind of place (when it wasn't filled with psychos, which was often). Good times...I miss California a great deal!
Just to clarify to everyone, it was on 57th street in Oakland.

haha i think ive been there. I was REALLY fucking drunk.
It was after a shroomery BBQ we had a couple months back. I went with Alan and Cure_Cat.
Maybe they can chime in and confirm or not.
I bought a keg for the BBQ, so i was fuxored. At one point i didnt realize i was even in Oakland
I think i blacked out just before leaving for the house.

you could have ended up in 50 plus houses that drunken night. could have been the purple house, fort awesome, the permaculture army house, the vulcan, etc. the list goes on and on in this area. or mebbe some of the over 20 student co ops? the area is rife with madness. and all of them have the potential to have school buses out front, and punks, hippies, kids, tramps, phreaks inside. oh, and there's always bikes everywhere

Indeed, 57th street is in Oakland.
I like the purple house, that place was always cool.
Btw, there are HUUUUGE patches of san pedro everywhere in the area.

indeed there are pedros about, but i just feel bad taking em. there is a nursury around MLK i think that is called sacred eye, or something and sells pedros there.
i bought my mom one for her birthday (the most straight laced person i know) and when i got home, i had never realized that we had like 15 of em!

Suimush, that evening after the gathering we were hanging out at Purple House, which is literally around the corner from Hellarity House. In fact, the person who's room we were in at Purple House now lives at Hellarity House.
I'm actually pretty surprised that a number of the users here actually know of these places! Impgl mentioned a few others I'm also familiar with.
Ever heard of Otherworld, Orbis Nex, or Katabatik in Oakland or 5lowershop in SF? Just to name a few cool spots in the Bay Area.
Here is an article on Purple House, published in the SF Chronicle: Punk Style at Home in Oakland's Purple House
And a video..... Hellarity House.

I was at Hellarity two nights ago after a Bay Area Mycological Society meeting in Berkeley. There were about 20 people there, most of whom I didn't know. The current residents have really cleaned the place up!
Bus stop co-op? Not familiar.
