It´s like a tradition that each and every year the MOS-Westcoast got at a new spot. After the project has made the way from LA to San Diego, the project this year the jam happened in the Bay-area.

The showdown was scheduled to happen in Oakland on a spot located right next to the train-tracks. Oakland is right across the bay to San Francisco.

Oakland – city of the Black-Panter-Party has a long tradition of political consciousness. Here the civil-movement started back in the 60ies as a reaction of increasing Police-brutality.
	From here the movement spread to the East-coast and inspired people from all different races who suffered under segregation and the dominating elites.

Due to certain reasons the owner of the spot had withdrawn the permission to do the Jam where it was scheduled. But eventhough the Jam happened… around Fremont-High-School, Foothill and 45th Street. Five nice walls located near-by. So at the end it was all good!

Oakland – the last station of the US-MOS was kind of wicked. The original spot near the famous train-tracks suddenly wasnt possible anymore due to irritation of the landlord who thought the MOS would go over the Dream-Memorial,
	which was never the plan, caused us to change the location to a nice yard next to Fremont-High-School.

After the confusion calmed down the wall got primed Friday all day long. The option to meet and to hang out inspired some writers to meet and to clarify some gossip and some beefs they had, so Friday turned into the clarification-day. The beef got solved not through words, but fists, because sometimes talk is a waste of time, so they obviously thought.

	After that was solved and the walls primed, Saturday was ready to become a nice colourfull and peacefull day. So the jam started early before noon. Writers got in, caught a spot, rocked the walls. The TDK-Crew, Old-School-Crew of Dream (RIP) and Vogue, real originals from Oakland and the Bay-Area, came to hang out.
Already back in the late 80ies these heads were painting stuff that was very advanced at this time and still is. Eventhough there were no Djs, the car-sounds-systems underlined the jam with tunes.

A lot of writers from around Cali, LA, San Diego, Sacramento, Oakland and San Fran showed up. Old-School-King Vulcan gave the honour of a short visit, short because he was buisy with a nice nice project in San Fran.

	Sunday wasnt a chilly day, but full of entertainment. Wash House-Music and Thizz-Entertainemnt came along to shoot parts for the video of Vital´s album, an upcoming Rap-Star from the Bay-Area.
The film-crew came along with a motor-cycle-crew who were doing mad wheelies and a crazy fog-machine.
