The Perseids of 2010 may already have reached their peak, but they will probably linger for a few days yet, and the same advice works for any meteor shower.
Go out to the darkest place you can find, away from city lights. Around Oakland, CA, that's going to be TOUGH! You may find some suitably dark areas in Marin County north of San Francisco, or in the Altamont Pass between Livermore and Tracy. You'll want to get a mile or more away from the freeway. Find a fairly level area, not forested, and somewhere higher in elevation than the Bay is. (You often get fog or haze down near sea level, especially around the Bay or the rivers.)
Look up starting around 2 AM, until dawn. Any night of the year, you'll see a few meteors; during one of the known meteor showers, you might see dozens or hundreds per hour.

What direction for meteor shower?
The Gemenid meteor shower generally radiates from the constellation Gemini, which is visible roughly from the northeast after sunset. However, most meteor showers do not peak until after midnight, and it doesn't really matter which direction you look.For best viewing conditions, go out into the country, as city lights make it difficult to see any but the brightest meteors. Lay down and look up. The Gemenids are an "iffy" sort of meteor shower in the northern hemisphere, because of the typically inclement weather.

What are the most easily seen meteor showers from earth and when can they be seen?
Probably the best are the Perseids, which occur in August. Every 33 years, the Leonids of November are potentially great, although 1999 was a disappointment. In general, all showers are best seen after midnight, when the Earth is turned "forward" in its orbit and is therefore "heading into" the debris field of the meteoroids.
What are meteor outbursts?
A meteor "outburst" is an unexpected, generally fairly intense, meteor shower. They are probably associated with extinct comets, but we don't know what the origin is. Meteor "showers" occur when the Earth passes through the debris path left in the orbit of extinct or decaying comets. There are more than a dozen fairly predictable meteor showers, which are generally identified by the name of the astronomical constellation from which the meteors "appear to" radiate. For example, there's a pretty broad band of dust and pebbles that cross the Earth's orbit in early-to-mid August which come from the direction of the constellation Perseus; we call these the "Perseids", and are generally best seen between August 10 and August 13 each year.
