Hey Oakland, what're you doing this weekend? In addition to all the Earth Day events, there's lots more cool stuff happening in and around Oakland.

Tonight, Oakland Local senior editor Amy Gahran will catch the W. Kamau Bell Curve comedy show at La Peña (3105 Shattuck, Berkeley). Shows at 8 and 10 pm, $22 -- but it's 2 for 1 if you bring a friend of a different race!

Here are a few more things to note from the Oakland Local community calendar...

The struggle over the proposed North Oakland gang injunction continues. Yesterday the ACLU of Northern California, along with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area, filed papers opposing the injunction with the Alameda County Superior Court. Among their complaints, the advocacy groups note: "There is no way out of the injunction. The injunction does not include an opt-out provision for people who are misidentified or who have turned their lives around. If community members are wrongfully labeled as gang members, they would be bound indefinitely by the restrictions of the injunction."

It's Easter Sunday and Oakland is celebrating. At Oakland Local, we're captivated by Troy Holden's updated flickr set, Oakland Funk.

Today we have for you some thoughts on the myriad religious observances this week, as well as meditations on coming home; along with some ideas on ways to give back - both today and next weekend.

Oakland is tweeting about a plethora of sailing ops. There's dragon boating and canoe, pedalboat and kayak rentals, family sailing and "whaleboat rowing" (whatever that could be). We're intrigued. And, in not-so-smooth sailing news, Bay Area jobs are predicted not to recover until 2015.

Happy Friday, Oakland!

...OK, we were just kidding about the pigeon-serving restaurant yesterday. (On our Facebook Fan Page, some readers lobbied for a restaurant serving locally produced Canada geese instead. Yum.) Also, we were kidding about everything in yesterday's Daily Brief. Hopefully some of you followed the links we put in each of those stories to this list of the Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes of All Time. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the fun.

Speaking of our April Fools Daily Brief: We ribbed AC Transit in one item, "AC Transit gives up" -- about how the agency was sick of fielding rider complaints and had decided to quit. Actually, in the real world AC Transit has been doing a pretty good job of community outreach and communication regarding the recent budget-induced bus schedule and route changes. Including this: For five days recently, 85 administrative employees from all divisions at the agency covered nearly 200 shifts at major transit centers, distributing information directly to riders at their bus stops. AC Transit is doing what it can under challenging circumstances, and the buses are still running. Kudos for that.

Meanwhile, here's some of what Twitter has been saying about Oakland lately, and what's happening this weekend...
