SALSA BY THE LAKE
Oaklandish was very happy with the huge success of our Third Annual Salsa by the Lake last Sunday. Over 400 people showed up to enjoy the live Salsa music from Rumbache and free dance classes from Isaac Kos- Read. It was such a success we might put on another Salsa by the Lake this summer... stay tuned. And we are just getting started - this is the first of several fun, free summertime events put on by Oaklandish. To see pictures from Salsa by the Lake, check out these blogs:

Always keepin' it fresh with new apparel...

Oaklandish will continue to have our limited edition, online only t- shirt featuring Oakland A's legend Rollie Fingers until the end of June. The next t-shirt of the month will drop in July, and feature our very own Ronnie D (Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums).

We just came out with our new Oakland aerial map tote bags that feature different parts of Oakland on both sides. They have velcro to close them up and are now available in two colors. Check out these fresh new bags at the markets, street fairs, and online:

This week, we also got brand new shiny Oaklandish pins that we will be selling for just $1 at the markets and street festivals. We will give them away for free to kids under 10 years old to show some Oakland love. But we might just get swept away by their shiny-ness and give them all away. Did we say they were shiny?
