Ché Café sit-in is a bust
Josh - I would have to say you have come up with the answer. They want to do it when there are fewer people and fewer TV cameras.
— March 24, 2015 10:31 p.m.
Ché Café sit-in is a bust
Still no one showed up to enforce the eviction as of 8:30 p.m. Whether UCSD was right or wrong in pursuing this, it does seem like a waste of time to post a legal document saying 6 a.m. March 24 is the drop dead date to get out and then do a "never mind," and just ignore it without offering an explanation. What a waste of everyone's time. Is this how the University of California does business? Obviously so. Seems a bit amateurish don't you think? If UCSD had a change of heart regarding the eviction, shouldn't they say so and for once be on the up and up and open about this? Am I wrong here?
— March 24, 2015 8:42 p.m.
Ché Café sit-in is a bust
The eviction notice was posted by the sheriff department. That is the agency that handles evictions in the county of San Diego. In the city of San Diego, Chula Vista or Escondido, their own police do not handle the evictions in their city. It used to be the marshalls who carried out evictions. A few years ago that department was folded into the sheriff department. If you are a landlord, you have to go through certain courts that handle evictions. You don't go to traffic court. Once you win the eviction, you then have to go through the sheriff department's eviction department to execute the eviction. You don't go to campus security, or the SDPD or the Marines or animal control. So what is your point exactly "excortalex?"

Oceanside kicks dispensaries to curb
Hal Fisher, I would disagree that this is a cop-mandated issue. It is a zoning, planning, land use issue. The California supreme court ruled that each city can decide its own fate as to whether it will allow pot dispensaries or not. Each city has a planning commission and planning departments. They have every right to say they don't want any brick and mortar pot stores just as they can say they don't want any heavy industrial plants. There are plenty of home-delivered businesses that will bring the pot to your door, and I have heard nothing about police in any city who are harassing these people. What I find most amazing is that with all the competition of these home delivery services, the price of pot still seems outrageous. But with the ongoing huge profitability of pot delivery, I'm sure many more people will keep getting involved, and eventually the price will go down. By the way, is it me or am I wrong: it seems like those who don't want pot completely legal are the people who sell it under the current structure. They get to have their cake and eat it too. They won't go to jail, yet the market seems restricted, pushing up their prices. It does seem like the current arrangement needs to be fixed.
— March 20, 2015 6:49 p.m.
Last gasp for Ché Café
The eviction notice was in fact posted Tuesday, March 17, which says that the sheriff deputies and locksmiths will show up at 6 a.m. Tuesday, March 24. The Che Cafe Collective has scheduled a meeting at 7 p.m. Friday to discuss what to do next.
— March 18, 2015 11:39 a.m.
Last gasp for Ché Café
As predicted, the eviction notice went up today according to Charles Peckham. Mr. Hungus, you are correct in saying the article did not mention Che has cost the administration over a million dollars. That figure or anything close to it has never been mentioned by anybody. Where did you get that figure? You didn't just make it up did you? Would you feel better if the likeness of a real American like Oliver North was painted on UCSD buildings?
— March 17, 2015 8:54 p.m.
Turn up the deep end!
After article was turned in, I was told the Friday March 13 show was not happening. As it turns out, they are playing March 14 at a house party (see FB/gromsmusic for more details) and March 21 at Legend Records in Pacific Beach.

AEG pulls out of L.A. stadium negotiations
with all due respect...the Carson deal is not "so absurd so as to not even mention" because the stakes are much higher in L.A. Major investors are willing to plop down big bucks because you have America's biggest money generating diversion talking about relocating to America's second biggest market which has been starving for an NFL franchise for decades.

Crowd sourcing
I was just told that the main talent buyer of Oysterfest is now Joe Rinaldi (The Merrow). He can be reached at

AEG pulls out of L.A. stadium negotiations
um... Don....um....i think you made a little error here. What's sad is that no one else busted you. The Chargers and the Raiders are looking to move to CARSON. The Rams are looking to move Inglewood. Come on Don. I'm a huge fan of yours. Don't lose it at this most important juncture. We need you. We read you. We respect you. But don't lose it! This is not a good thing. You got the important part right about AEG when you repeated what was reported in the LA Times that AEG is giving up...but for the love of God PLEASE get the rest of the facts right. No one ever said he Chargers were trying to hook up with the Rams. It was the Chargers+Raiders Don. It was the RAMS and the RAIDERS in CARSON Don. Oy vey.

Ché Café sit-in is a bust
Josh - I would have to say you have come up with the answer. They want to do it when there are fewer people and fewer TV cameras.— March 24, 2015 10:31 p.m.
Ché Café sit-in is a bust
Still no one showed up to enforce the eviction as of 8:30 p.m. Whether UCSD was right or wrong in pursuing this, it does seem like a waste of time to post a legal document saying 6 a.m. March 24 is the drop dead date to get out and then do a "never mind," and just ignore it without offering an explanation. What a waste of everyone's time. Is this how the University of California does business? Obviously so. Seems a bit amateurish don't you think? If UCSD had a change of heart regarding the eviction, shouldn't they say so and for once be on the up and up and open about this? Am I wrong here?— March 24, 2015 8:42 p.m.
Ché Café sit-in is a bust
The eviction notice was posted by the sheriff department. That is the agency that handles evictions in the county of San Diego. In the city of San Diego, Chula Vista or Escondido, their own police do not handle the evictions in their city. It used to be the marshalls who carried out evictions. A few years ago that department was folded into the sheriff department. If you are a landlord, you have to go through certain courts that handle evictions. You don't go to traffic court. Once you win the eviction, you then have to go through the sheriff department's eviction department to execute the eviction. You don't go to campus security, or the SDPD or the Marines or animal control. So what is your point exactly "excortalex?"— March 24, 2015 8:21 p.m.
Oceanside kicks dispensaries to curb
Hal Fisher, I would disagree that this is a cop-mandated issue. It is a zoning, planning, land use issue. The California supreme court ruled that each city can decide its own fate as to whether it will allow pot dispensaries or not. Each city has a planning commission and planning departments. They have every right to say they don't want any brick and mortar pot stores just as they can say they don't want any heavy industrial plants. There are plenty of home-delivered businesses that will bring the pot to your door, and I have heard nothing about police in any city who are harassing these people. What I find most amazing is that with all the competition of these home delivery services, the price of pot still seems outrageous. But with the ongoing huge profitability of pot delivery, I'm sure many more people will keep getting involved, and eventually the price will go down. By the way, is it me or am I wrong: it seems like those who don't want pot completely legal are the people who sell it under the current structure. They get to have their cake and eat it too. They won't go to jail, yet the market seems restricted, pushing up their prices. It does seem like the current arrangement needs to be fixed.— March 20, 2015 6:49 p.m.
Last gasp for Ché Café
The eviction notice was in fact posted Tuesday, March 17, which says that the sheriff deputies and locksmiths will show up at 6 a.m. Tuesday, March 24. The Che Cafe Collective has scheduled a meeting at 7 p.m. Friday to discuss what to do next.— March 18, 2015 11:39 a.m.
Last gasp for Ché Café
As predicted, the eviction notice went up today according to Charles Peckham. Mr. Hungus, you are correct in saying the article did not mention Che has cost the administration over a million dollars. That figure or anything close to it has never been mentioned by anybody. Where did you get that figure? You didn't just make it up did you? Would you feel better if the likeness of a real American like Oliver North was painted on UCSD buildings?— March 17, 2015 8:54 p.m.
Turn up the deep end!
After article was turned in, I was told the Friday March 13 show was not happening. As it turns out, they are playing March 14 at a house party (see FB/gromsmusic for more details) and March 21 at Legend Records in Pacific Beach.— March 11, 2015 9:22 p.m.
AEG pulls out of L.A. stadium negotiations
with all due respect...the Carson deal is not "so absurd so as to not even mention" because the stakes are much higher in L.A. Major investors are willing to plop down big bucks because you have America's biggest money generating diversion talking about relocating to America's second biggest market which has been starving for an NFL franchise for decades.— March 10, 2015 11:47 p.m.
Crowd sourcing
I was just told that the main talent buyer of Oysterfest is now Joe Rinaldi (The Merrow). He can be reached at [email protected]— March 10, 2015 11:44 a.m.
AEG pulls out of L.A. stadium negotiations
um... Don....um....i think you made a little error here. What's sad is that no one else busted you. The Chargers and the Raiders are looking to move to CARSON. The Rams are looking to move Inglewood. Come on Don. I'm a huge fan of yours. Don't lose it at this most important juncture. We need you. We read you. We respect you. But don't lose it! This is not a good thing. You got the important part right about AEG when you repeated what was reported in the LA Times that AEG is giving up...but for the love of God PLEASE get the rest of the facts right. No one ever said he Chargers were trying to hook up with the Rams. It was the Chargers+Raiders Don. It was the RAMS and the RAIDERS in CARSON Don. Oy vey.— March 9, 2015 9:46 p.m.
