Proving that art, metalflake, cars, and roadside cuisine really do all work together are the Royal Jokers car club. While the club has been building and driving fine hot rods and customs for over twenty years, they just recently started rolling into the Oakland art scene at the Giant Burger for a monthly dinner. The first Friday of every month is when uptown Oakland has an Art Murmur, and when the Royal Jokers convene at 7PM. The Giant Burger at 22nd and Telegraph was at one time a Kwik-Way, an establishment frequented by such Oakland luminaries as Too Short himself, seen on occasion hanging out in his Bentley at the Grand Lake Kwik-Way for some fried prawns back in our own Oakland days. The Royal Jokers have found the Kwik-Way to kustom kars and the right way to the real metalflake.
