I like Camille's music. Blends a lot of influences and styles into her own edgy mix.

Social Chamber Music - Bass and cello duo

Music: Classical
Comment by: Mike Showalter

This is a pretty good Italian restaurant in Fremont. Listening to chamber music while dining there could make it even better.

Comment by: Mike Showalter

I would pay to see George Lopez and Carlos Mencia in a fistfight over who stole whose joke.

Sex and the City

Movie: Comedy, Romance
Comment by: Mike Showalter

I remember getting forced into seeing the Sex and the City series on HBO. To be honest, got sucked into it just like everyone else and have seen every episode. I liked the Cynthia Nixon character, Miranda Hobbes the best.

A Streetcar Named Desire

Theater: Drama
Comment by: Mike Showalter

How is it possible that I've never seen Tennessee William's A Streetcar Named Desire. Not the film with Marlon Brando, or the play. So this would be a great chance to see it.

I'd go for the giant robot. Wait, you said effect on the "world." I thought you said, "my world."

I'll have to be honest: had never heard of them. But if they can get booked at the Paramount for those ticket prices, they must have some fans here!

Some day we'll have a light rail system. But at the rate they've been building I'll be dead before I can get from Northgate to the airport.

Julie Andrews as a woman playing a man playing a woman

Haven't seen this movie in years, but it's a wonderful comedy with great acting by Julie Andrews, James Garner and Robert Preston. Directed by Blake Edwards. The description above doesn't tell the full story. Andrews actually plays a woman playing a man playing a woman. Hilarity ensues. Highly recommended.
