Levi’s Stadium and a significant historical fact

levi stadiumSo Levi Strauss Co. made the news this week by claiming the naming rights to the new San Francisco 49er stadium being built in Santa Clara.  I currently work in Sunnyvale so I pass it a lot when I’m out in the field and let me tell you what, it’s a sight to see.  I’ve never seen such a large structure go up so quickly.  Click the link below to read more and click the photo above to embiggen.

Pride Night 2013 at California’s Great America is Friday May 24th

The weather is getting warmer in the Bay Area and what a great way to start getting into the Pride season.  This isn’t an “unofficial” gay night, like some others, it’s a bona fide public event endorsed and supported by California’s Great America.  It’s my birthday weekend so I’m going!!!  :-)
