Million Dollar Quartet – Broadway San Jose

Cody Slaughter (Elvis Presley) (Photo by Jeremy Daniel)
On December 4, 1956, one man brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley together for the first and only time. His name is Sam Phillips. The place was Sun Records. That night they made rock ‘n’ roll history. Million Dollar Quartet relives this historical moment, giving the audience a chance to witness what happened on that infamous day. Many of us have imagined what it would be like to attend a concert and see one of these legends live, let alone all four in one place at one time. The Tony Award-winning musical tells the story of the day that by some sheer act of fate, Cash, Perkins, Lewis, and Presley gathered together with Sam Phillips, the man responsible for discovering and launching each of their careers. Although we will never have the opportunity of se [...] Continue reading →

pushpush copy
Mode Bay Area’s staff and friends recently hosted a birthday bash at what we like to think of as Westfield Valley Fair’s best kept secret: Oryza.  Not too long ago on this very site we shared with you the menu and dining experience you might expect should you grace the Oryza resturaunt, which included excellent food, plentiful menu selections, as well as a diverse menu (budgeted incredibly by the way) for various dietary needs and tastes.  And while many might think that they have to hop across the road for a night to remember, Oryza throws it’s name into the hat, for both being a memorable and magnificent experience for patrons, parties, and events. What do you need for such an experience? Ambiance? Check.  Food? Check.  Drink Selection? Check, and double check.  Pr [...] Continue reading →

Lotus Premium Denim

Screen Shot 2012-04-01 at 9.14.50 PM
I am by no means a stranger to denim. From the different dyes, styles, and unique elements that make up each jean, no two pairs are alike. With a petite frame, I often have to alter my jeans to my height, leaving me spending hundreds on alterations I wish I did not have to. Especially with originally very long denim, the jeans never look quite the way they were intended to. I wanted just one brand I could rely on for jeans that were fashioned and tailored specifically for my body. This is how I came to discover my new favorite denim brand–Lotus Premium Denim. By offering denim that measures both inseams, your waist and your height, you are guaranteed to have a perfect fit every time. These jeans are comfortable, slimming, and flatter your body, without any alterations needed. We were [...] Continue reading →
