Event Ticket
  • Bay Area Events: SFGate.com and San Jose Mercury News. Great starting points for what's going on in the SF Bay Area.
  • Comedy Sportz: If you haven't seen improv comedy, you have GOT to see THIS if there is one in your area. I was skeptical at first, but it's amazing how funny these people can be with sparse props and random topics.
  • Festival Finder: This site lists over 1300 festivals across North America (including the Carribean and Mexico). You can view by music genre, date, location, etc...
  • San Jose is often treated as the younger, step-sibling to San Francisco. But San Jose and the surrounding area (Silicon Valley in particular) has a lot to offer and usually for very reasonable prices! (Note that the two San Jose links are different.)

Soccer

  • I may, OK WILL, never live up to the feats of the 1996 Olympic champions or the 1998 World Cup Round of 16, but I did play Stanford intramurals. I also played with the Silicon Valley Soccer Association from 1996 or so to 2003 (2000 ended early from a disappointing ankle sprain). I was disappointed with "retirement" but at least I got the taste of championship nectar in 2002.

Public Transportation

  • Save the air, save the earth. Support public transportation! For people in the SF Bay Area, there are several convenient resources to check out like 511.org: 511 is your one-stop phone and web source for up-to-the-minute Bay Area traffic, transit, carpool, bicycling, and parking information. For people in other regions, I encourage you to get familiar with non-automobile dependent methods of getting around. Carpool, whatever it takes to at least slow down the environmental decay of our planet.
  • Google Maps is one of the most convenient sites for planning public transit routes when traveling in new places or for refreshers in your home town.
