HBO EUPHORIA'S ANGUS CLOUD WHO I MET AND VLOGGED IN OAKLAND AT PEETS IN 2017, DIED TODAY AT 25
HBO EUPHORIA'S ANGUS CLOUD WHO I MET AND VLOGGED IN OAKLAND AT PEETS IN 2017, DIED TODAY AT 25 A very sad day as Angus Cloud died just moments ago. You know him as one of the stars of the HBO television show EUPHORIA. But I know him as the young man who happily video-bombed me at the Peets Coffee on Lakeshore Avenue on a Sunday morning January 29th 2017 in Oakland. At that time, Angus wasn't a star, but he was a person who wanted to be in front of the camera and had something to say. He made that apparent that moment in time, when he said "F__ Donald Trump" in response to my question about the former President who was POSTUS at the time. We did not keep in touch, but the video was memorable, so much so that as Angus Cloud became famous, fans found the video. I had hoped I would be able to reconnect with him at some point. The last thing I would ever think of is that he would leave us, but that's what happened. According to reports from TMZ: Angus Cloud, famous from "Euphoria" -- has died at his family's home in Oakland ... TMZ has learned. The actor's family tells us ... "It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways." They continue, "Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence." Man, Angus was a gift to all of us. His fun-loving way. His frank-talk. His "every-person" persona. And his gift of acting. All of that taken from us too soon. Why? Stay tuned.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
