I just want to say I love Billie's haircut. It is neat and you can see his face. Now if it was only blond.

Here you go! (old pic from last thanksgiving - november)

Finally have a second to check in while waiting for my connecting flight. Just want to say A. Getting a picture with Billie B. Ruffling Kevin's hair C. Watching Billie fanboy over Prima Donna Is a fun way to spend a night. Can't wait to finally watch all the videos tomorrow.

“Billie’s nuts” 😂😂😂

I want a facebook live that's just as awkward and hilarious as the one they did for Bang Bang's release. Edit: Oh and Billie's "where's the button that makes them go away" line at the end.

You can just have a coffee or buy merch. Whether or not it's worth visiting depends on what you want to see. This is a rough guide of how to spend a day in Oakland depending on what interests you.

Agreed. I watched it a few weeks ago for the 1st time in quite a while and I still found it really funny . Hopefully, we won't be waiting long for one.

Ugh, I can't wait to see the pictures for the new album promotion, and the videos, and hopefully some live streams. We can look back at our predictions then, too.

We ate at Rudy’s both days this past weekend because we stayed nearby. Friendly service, great breakfast and t-shirts (and yes Oakland Coffee). At the block party they had a tent and were giving away bags and pods of the stuff as well as merch like hats and bags. I brought a box of pods home to use for guests (not a coffee drinker myself). I asked them when they will start selling tea 😄 You can still see Jingletown but it’s been sold and the building is behind a fence anyway and there’s not much to see. It’s also in a janky part of town so we skipped it on our tour. I posted a ton of photos from the tour we just took this weekend to my IG you’re welcome to see and also ask any questions about locations and logistics that you want.

I'd actually recommend Jingletown and Studio 880 to anyone interested in the albums recorded there. It is a dodgy area, but it's surreal to be there and peer through the fence at the parking lot. There's also a small store nearby which actually says "Jingletown" and is featured in Cuatro. The only downside (other than, well, feeling like you have to get out ASAP) is that it's quite far out so if you're on public transport it takes up a lot of the day. So just depends on whether you'd rather take out the time to do that or cram in lots of other things.

Ah damn it won't worth the visit I guess. I'll go see Broken Guitar instead!

Wow thank you!! Add to favorite in my browser right now. I'm having a good conversation with my girlfriend tonight about this day in Oakland😂

Yeah I did my research a little bit. I think I'm sticking up to Rudy's and Studio 880 at Jingletown ahah

Alright thanks for the tip! Our 12 days trip in California will be cool but we're only one day in Oakland (this part of the trip is for me 😂) So I want to see as much stuff about Green Day as I can.

No that's the restaurant that Mike part owns, Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe. I don't believe there is an Oakland Coffee shop, it's just a coffee company that sells online and out of other shops. There's a list of shops that sell the coffee on the Oakland Coffee website, I see it says you can buy it at Rudy's: https://oaklandcoffee.com/where-to-buy/

From mikes stories:

After seeing all the photos from yesterday, just popping in to say that Billie Joe is hawt.

The pictures from yesterday are lovely, and he looks great in the sunglasses (I'm very surprised that when he was posing with fans he didn't have the other pair of glasses on like he normally does ) I don't see it mentioned in this thread, but he looks so cute in that Instagram picture Tre posted on Friday

Been giddy all morning about how gorgeous the boys are looking, I even like Billie’s sunglasses!!!

Photos like this make me ridiculously happy.

Very interesting look at the music that gave rise to Green Day! Now I have to listen to all the bands mentioned here, and currently I'm listening to the first Buzzcocks record.
