The road eventually will travel both ways, too, as a goal of the partnership is to inspire San Jose’s art community to develop pieces that could wind up at Burning Man. “This isn’t just about bringing art downtown,” Adams-Hapner said. “We’re a community of makers and we want to inspire that.”. And we’ll get to experience some of Burning Man without the bugs, smoke and a layer of dirt. INTRODUCING LA FAMILIA: Congratulations to Veronica Escámez and her Redwood City family, who are being honored with the Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley’s La Familia Award at the 28th annual Hispanic Foundation Ball next month. The Escámez family is just the second from San Mateo County to receive the award in its history.
Brooks had the capacity crowd of some 17,000 fans in the palm of his hand throughout the roughly two-hour concert, which opened a three-night stand that continues through Sunday at SAP Center, He had them up and dancing to the fast numbers, softly swaying along to the ballads and, of course, always singing along, Well, except maybe for that first number, The singer opened the show with the title track to last year’s “Man Against Machine,” his ninth studio album and his first since “Scarecrow” in 2001, It’s a bizarre “message” number, full of paranoia and apprehension about the modern world, It sounds like a lost Roger Waters B-side, which, really, you wish had stayed red and black plaid holiday ballet slippers - baby and toddler girl shoes - christmas shoes lost..
Meanwhile, in theaters now there’s the gonzo action comedy “3 Days to Kill,” in which Costner plays CIA contract killer Ethan Renner, a “cleaner” who learns he’s dying of cancer. His new control agent (Amber Heard) bribes him with a serum that might prolong his life, providing he carry out one last series of hits — in Paris, where his estranged wife (Connie Nielsen) and the teen daughter he barely knows (Hailee Steinfeld) live. In “3 Days,” Costner shows every wrinkle, every gray hair. He may be “a national treasure,” as the film’s director, McG, declares, but he’s not shy about showing his age, in character and out of it.
