A Teabag won't Work

A Chinese Fortune Teller divining fortunes by reading tea leaves was one of the entertainers for "The Year of the Rabbit" at a San Francisco Bay Area mall. Joining her was the Panda signifying good health and endurance; two calligraphers who translated names with Chinese Letters on fans; and the grand finale-Lion dancing.

 What's your Vote

Music from the 80's was the first choice at a company party. Didier's trio included hits from Neil Diamond, David Bowie, and Whitney Houston. What's your favorite decade? Hands down-Do Wop from the 50's.  For the best of Do Wop, dance down memory lane to Nick Santos' "There's a Moon out Tonight." And, for you low riders doing wheelies down Telegraph Avenue, pump up the volume with Tony Allen's "Night Owl." Yep, let's hear it for the 50's and old fashion Rock & Roll.

A Buy-In for all Ages

Magic Mike's family show gained accolades from the adults and the kids. Typically a magician specializes in either kid shows or magic for the adults. Not Magic Mike-his humor appealed to the adults-"Have you received those many calls from auto dealers insisting that you increase your car's warranty even though you don't drive" to pulling a bunny rabbit out of a hat. The event planner was totally pleased.

Can we Light his Menorah

The Festival of Light Menorah was lit for the third night at a Bay Area Mall. Hooray for the Maccabees. This hearty band of brothers won the fight against the Syrian-Greeks.  A Menorah Balloon Artist sculpted a decorative Menorah balloon. The CDC recommends that you don't light his Menorah. Light the big Menorah instead. Happy Chanukah to one and all.

Tis the Season

Tis the season for the reason for mall shoppers seven days before Christmas. There were many shoppers who stopped, listened, and took photos of The Toy Soldier Marching Band with their beefeater trumpets and four Dickens carolers attired in traditional costumes from the mid 1800's.

It wasn't exactly a monsoon. It was a cold and windy storm. Bookies would have given favorable odds that the Cupertino Holiday on Main would have been called off. Jeremy to the rescue with his glow in the dark juggling balls and pins while balancing on his unicycle. He open the festivities; community groups followed.

                Who Invited this Guy?

The winner and all-time champion grouch made a surprise visit to a mall tree lighting. His goal was to sabotage Christmas. Why light a tree especially with the power shortage? The Who's with the help of the Sugar Plum Fairy and an interactive Elf put a smile on the Grinch's face. Later on everyone joined the party by the beautifully lit tree.
