  2. Metallica plays a parking lot show in San Jose. San Jose, 1996. Today is Kirk Hammett’s 63rd birthday. He’s one of the nicest, most genuine, and most heartfelt guys in Bay Area metal, and maybe even in all of metal. He joined Metallica in April of 1983 when he was just 20 years old. On June 4, 1996, Metallica played a surprise show in the parking lot of the San Jose Tower Records at 871 Blossom Hill Road across from Oakridge Mall. After a morning announcement on local radio, news of the free show spread across the Bay Area, and once MTV News picked it up, it went worldwide. About ten thousand people showed up. The band planned to perform three flatbed truck shows that day to celebrate the release of their sixth album Load. One in San Jose, one in San Francisco, and one in Sacramento. Only two happened because San Francisco canceled at the last minute. Tower Records was chosen for all of the stops so fans could watch the show and then walk inside to buy the record. Tower Records manager Barbara Williamson, who has since passed away, later said that city officials told her no permit was needed. But one week after the performance, San Jose city attorney Joan Gallo held a news conference announcing that charges were being filed against Bill Graham Presents, Elektra Entertainment, and Tower Records. Offenses included disturbing the peace, failing to secure permits, and not obtaining approval for temporary street closures and amplified sound. The city also billed Tower Records seven thousand dollars for police, fire, and emergency medical services. “I think the destruction that was caused deliberately and purposefully to get publicity and take advantage of this community needs to be dealt with in a criminal form,” Gallo said at the time. Police were not happy either. Thousands of fans packed the parking lot across from Oakridge Mall, creating a traffic jam. Highway 87 backed up, and traffic at Santa Teresa and Blossom Hill was at a standstill for hours. This 1996 strip mall concert remains an indelible part of Metallica lore and Bay Area music history. stock footage 🎥: MetConcerts100

  2. It's impressive personalized pieces like this that have more value and exceptional longevity vs your traditional Christmas gifts. In any way, personalized gifts are more thoughtful and special than generic ones. Therefore, why does anyone pick something that costs more time, effort and money, if they can acquire an awesome personal gift from the comfort of their home?! When you look back, you will see that almost all of those exciting gifts you got were personalized ones. Think about it: Have you gotten rid of your high school or college diploma? Maybe you played basketball or track and won an award. Have you thrown this memorabilia away? Chances are you haven’t! If you did, you most likely would have to think twice about it. To me personally, I sincerely love to give more than I gratefully receive. As a direct result, when the receiving part typically happens for myself, I genuinely don't know how to naturally react. I'm appreciative of course, but it's a feeling that I definitely don't tap into often. So what that being justly said, for Christmas this year, my gift to my personal network is this individual's talent. If you're looking for a unique art piece or gift that will last for countless generations upon generations, please follow @peakoneart. You may not find ‘personalized gifts’ as such in our advance & constantly changing market. It's naturally becoming a rarity, so give someone a personalized one, with a touch of conscious effort & the limitless potential to be cherished forever. Merry Christmas to all and thank you once again @peakoneart for this awesome gift! . . . #MerryChristmas #penandink #christmasgifts #uniquegifts #redrocksamphitheater #morrisoncolorado #colorado #psalms4610 #psalms #peakoneart

  2. First time at @itsdumplingtime at Santana Row🥟 The weather was perfect for dinning outside with Nina and @jess13.lai plus both of our 🐶🐶 The food and service was good and friendly but for some reason one of our dish took forever to come out and we almost decided to give up and asked them to cancel it. Ended up finally getting the dish thanks to one of the waitress that we flagged down. Honestly, the food was good but it wasn’t anything amazing. Their take on the dishes all were missing just a lil bit more flavor imo to make it amazing✨ Full deets: • sesame jellyfish salad: I’ve had this plenty of times at weddings and other dimsum places so was very excited to see it on the menu. Thought it tastes okay but was missing a lil salt or something to oomph up the flavor • shrimp toast: this was the item that took forever to come out but it was so good! Highly recc this if y’all go 👍🏻 • shrimp har gow: delicious and had plenty of shrimp but could get this from any dimsum place • Maine lobster siu mai: was so excited to try this cuz it used white truffle oil but felt it needed a bit more truffle. The taste was very light so might be good for people if they wanna try out truffle for the first time cuz I know white truffle is on the milder side. Otherwise I’d pass next time due to the price • chili pork dumpling: delicious and had good flavor. The dumpling wrapper was a bit thicc so had more dough than I’d like but still good • wagyu beef gyoza: again, got this cuz of the black truffle but couldn’t really taste must truffle and the wagyu..still good but pass next time due to price 😅 • Tom yum goong: yummy and unique; can taste the Tom yum flavor. Although it was wrapped in beet skin you can’t taste it. No idea if that’s a good thing or not but just fyi lol • southeast fried rice noodles: my dumbass thought this was fried rice but it’s fried “rice noodle” so don’t make the same mistake I did when ordering haha. This dish was super flavorful and yummy Overall I’d hit this place up again if I was in the area and craving some dumplings but if not I’d prob drive to DTF or Dough Zone 🫢 Have y’all been and felt the same? LMK where your fav dumpling place is 🥟😊
