Where do you head when you have a taste for something customized? For raw materials are you an East Bay Depot For Creative Reuse person or an Urban Ore-ite? Do you head out to The Habitat For Humanity Re-Store for inspiration? What can you find to customize at Goodwill in Oakland? Where do you donate material that might fuel someone else’s imagination? Customization also involves materials moving away from us and into the customization stream. What you discard, give away and recycle might end up someone’s toy orchestra or scraper bike. All of the places where we find inspiration also accept donations. Is customization a two-way street with goods flowing in and out or is it only about acquiring and transforming goods? Along the route to your customization destination, stop by The Oakland Museum Of California. Come and visit our we/customize Customizer-In-Residence days and both view customization in process AND participate in it! —Oakland Rover

Just won these imaginary “How Is We Roll” tix. Gonna roll-up, pop the top and hang out. Who’s on your dream ticket? Re-imagine it! —Oakland Rover
Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it. Sauté it. Whatever. MAKE. —Joss Whedon
