Unlike Andy Samberg, we love a good handout. Admit it: so do you. Nothing beats a late night perusal of the East Bay free stuff classifieds, only to discover that the wicker daybed you always dreamed of owning has been abandoned on the corner of Shattuck and Delaware, or that three whole sets of venetian blinds are waiting to be rescued from a compost bin in Albany, or that a sofa, upholstered in purple velour and possibly infested with bed bugs, is up for grabs near Rockridge BART. Sure, it’s a gamble. But hey, it’s free. And we’re downwardly-mobile 20-somethings. And it’s a recession.
If you’ve been plagued with that freeloader’s itch, you may be in luck. read more »

If you didn’t get enough global culture at the Berkeley World Music Festival a couple of weeks ago, this Sunday from 12-5 p.m. is your chance to go for seconds at the Berkeley International Food Festival. The festival’s “nexus” will be at the intersection of University and San Pablo Avenues, which means you can take the 51–and you have no transportation-related excuses.
The international fun doesn’t end with comestibles. There will also be a main stage where “Grammy-nominated music sensation Johnny Polanco and his renowned LA salsa band” will be spicing up the general atmosphere, while a smattering of other world music and dance styles will be represented elsewhere.
And if world music still isn’t your cup of tea, don’t forget why you’re actually there–the food. In other words, if you attend the Berkeley Interntaional Food Festival and you leave without stuffing your face, you’ve done something horribly, horribly wrong.
