Hi,

Nice to know you'll be coming up to Paradise.  I will be at some portions of
UCLEA.  Nissen has me on a panel.  As for apartments, much depends on what
you want/need and what you are willing to pay.  My suggestion is that you
pickup want-ads from the East Bay Express and SF Guardian, in addition to
the SF Chronicle/Examiner and Oakland Tribune.  There is also an East Bay
community paper called the Montclarian that covers some nicer parts of the
hills above Oakland.  From them you'll get an idea of what the market looks
like.   It's expensive, unless you luck out or are willing to get into
shared housing, which is what I did.  I share a large old, not very spiffy
Victorian with two other people about six blocks above Lake Merritt in
Oakland (area is sometimes referrer to as Adams Point).  Since you're coming
up for UCLEA, you should take a couple of extra days and just drive around
different neighborhoods to get some idea of what's what.

In solidarity,
Michael
