True 'nuff. I'd love to have tried it for at least a little while, but now that I have kids? No way. Also, I have a bad tendon in my right ankle from tripping over a loose ribbon from one of my pointes. I don't know that it would've stood up to a year- or even months-long tour.

Lady Siren, You are correct! I'm talking about Ohlone College (aka University of Southern Fremont ;) )
Do you remember a instructor named Mark? He's the one that told my tech class the story of the bat-signal. He's still teaching at the college. And if you haven't been to the campus in a while, the old Studio 22 was replaced with a performing arts complex (two theaters, radio & tv stations and dance studio.)

Main Streeter - It is Mission San Jose. The main building that everyone looks at is actually a reproduction but it is beautiful inside.

If either if you two find your way to Fremont, let me know and I will gladly buy you lunch for the opportunity to meet you.

Of course I remember Mark! LOL, he used to give me hell about not being able to use power tools correctly. He's a riot - after we struck the set for one of our Summerfest productions (Sound of Music, I think), he took a can of spray paint and gathered us around. He then took the model of the set, got a lighter, and we torched the hell out of it with the spray paint can. Mark was always a demanding, but awesomely funny guy. Very talented, too.

Speaking of Sound of Music, as I mentioned, we borrowed the habits from the nuns next door (how bizarre does that sound?) for the show. Once you put on a nun's habit, EVERYONE treats you differently. Nobody wants to cuss in front of you, LOL. One of our "nuns" was a tarot card reader. You haven't seen surreal until you've seen a nun sitting there doing tarot readings. :p:

I was just in San Jose in May; I sometimes get out that way for client visits. Year before last, I actually made it up to Santa Cruz to go visit Cabrillo College, where my late father worked. Next time I head that way, I'll PM you.

Ohlone College! Yes, forgot abt Ohlone. Ca. N A Tribal name.Oh yes, I well know dear old Mission San Jose de Guadalupe is a replica. Still beautiful & well done replica of the 1797 Mission. Our family was @ the mission in 1797, so know most of the history. I do go up to San Jose whenever I can. 14th & East St. James St. & Santa Clara Cemetary. Thanks for the lunch offer techie :) but I have lunch in Los Gatos or @ Stanford.

Would you prefer "It's A Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow" instead? :D:

Mainstreeter, you sound entirely too yuppie to be hanging out with riff-raff like me (I am a huge fan though, of the Stanford Theater). ;)

OMG... *Sees videos in the sidebar to that one.* Does the Carousel of Progress really take over 20 minutes? It never felt that long.

Does anyone know if there's a full length song in the style of the unload area version of that music?

8^)

Do you take Embarcadero from 101 to Stanford? You'll go by my old house if you do go that way.

LOL Why? :confused: Not much yuppie in a Cal M A grad now days. I love riff - raff. Adds fun twists to friendships. ;)

You mean The Bay Shore? Embarcadero confuses me. I just drive using landmarks. If I've been someplace once I can always find it again....except up Mt. Tam in Mill Valley. :rolleyes:
