Last weekend, took a walking tour of Downtown and by chance, stumbled upon a number of interesting parts that makes this place, San Jose, so much more than one would suspect: art, technology, culture, space.
A R T s p a c e
Anno Domini urban art gallery with venue space and some really colorful/hilarious/bright/dark joys. The San Jose Poetry Slam - every second Friday of even numbered months (wow) is held here, $6-11.
T E C H s p a c e
Tech Shop, a membership-based workspace (like a gym) offers almost unlimited use of everything - 3D scanner & printer, water pressure cutting machine, wood shop, metal shop, industrial sewing & embroidery equipment, bike tools, autocad computer stations, workspace, classes, coffee stand, etc., oh my god and for $75 per month if you're a student. Walked right in and got a tour of the place.
C U L T U R A L s p a c e
Vietnamese/Mexican/Japanese markets, Vegan vietnamese home cooking, boba tea + pork rice pickled vegetable combos, dark films from Paris*, museums, and rock climbing, too.
S P A C E s p a c e
There's just more space here. Vacant space, too.
*watched a short film called Cushing's Syndrome - a twisted dark, murderous, and ridiculously amazing series of scenes - supposedly inspired by the filmmaker's former work as a trade analyst in the financial sector. The psychotic disease as analogous to finance, he explained.
i love space space
