CALIFORNIA FOCUS: Silicon Valley Progressives

Next to NYC, the city that reads my blog the most is San Jose, California. Not sure why, but I do try to cater to those who read me. So, I will from time to time highlight some events in Silicon Valley.

First off, let me remind people to VOTE THIS TUESDAY NOVEMBER 6th!

For endorsements by your local Democracy for America group, go here and vote accordingly.

Internet directions usually suggest taking Almaden Expressway, which is sometimes backed up. A lower stress route is to take Bird Avenue west from 280 and follow it all the way until it dead-ends at Malone. Left on Malone, Right on Almaden Road and 2102 is on the first corner on your left.
