Like all the way to the 707 SON. Matt Barnes will be speaking at my former college Humboldt State University this summer for their youth basketball camp (for 2nd to 12th graders). He's done it a few years in a row, and even though he blew up this year, opted to return...
Arcata (where HSU is located) is a tiny basketball-crazed town, and I can say for certain that they are thrilled to have a big-time (to them and us at least) bay area player like Barnes come and visit their quaint and funky town. You can read the article in its entirety here on the Lumberjacks' (yes we're called the Lumberjacks!) website: http://hsujacks.com/mbasketball/index.html
For those that don't know, HSU is a solid D-II basketball school. We're not producing any NBA players, but one of our players did tryout for the Phoenix Suns, Austin Nichols...he's mentioned in the article.
Anyways, go dubs, go 'jacks, go Barnes!

HSU
I just graduated last Fall, did you play pickup ball up there or take Kinder's class?
Jalora, yea Arcata has its ups and downs, it's one of those towns you miss when you're gone, and want to leave when you're there. :D
What year did you graduate?

got game?
it's worth a visit and their b-ball staff is full of good ppl. i covered the men's team for a year for the school paper and the staff was always pleasant after a game (win or loss) and let me sit in on practices as well.
they need big men or a scoring guard.
go for it :D
