I got to meet Kyle, who works sounds at many of the events. He told me about an upcoming show he puts together where he gives away free studio time to up and coming artists. So of course, I had to check out the showcase he organized for his birthday. It was AMAZING. Never have I seen so many black people congregating in Cupertino, or such a professional crowd of musicians mixing and mingling in their creative community. Jeremiah from Rebelskamp was there, and there was a feature show in between open mics where Kyle performed with an impressive new group. It's a crew of rappers and a singer that feels like a 90's rnb and rap group made for a current, grown up audience. Very danceable music. But the whole event really just put Cupertino on the map. It's a space for artists to come to a stage and get love from others in the industry. And they even allow for stand up comedy (you get a WHOLE 7 minutes...that's an eternity in stand up time). Very grateful I decided to get off my couch on a Sunday to see what was going on. I'll definitely check out more events in the future (they are supposed to take place every 2 weeks)!

After bowling on Saturday evening, we hung out in the X Bar to check out the live music and enjoy a…read morecouple drinks. Bar service was slow but friendly. The cocktails here were weak but delicious. The live music event had a listed start time of 7:00pm, but actually started at 8:15pm. Lighting and sound for the show appeared to be in need of improvement, the equipment in the venue not fitting for the environment. Lots of messy exposed cables, what looked like a dangerous setup, the plates on the ground seemingly too small for the giant speakers hanging on the top of the metal truss arch. The sound wasn't terrible, but they were not using all the speakers and subwoofers (and this negatively affected the band's performance, as they couldn't hear themselves). Also, there was no light on the musicians on stage, some of the band members looked like silhouettes throughout the night, and the organizers/technicians didn't seem to know how to fix this. That being said, the decor and lighting on the walls and ceiling, as well as the lights on the DJ booth were quite nice. The atmosphere inside this venue overall was modern and inviting, with lounge seating, high tables, and one pool table. The Dennis Dove Band entertained what was mainly an older crowd, with a range of blues, rnb, and more. They had people on their feet, dancing to songs like I Shot the Sheriff, Tennessee Whiskey, and Wicked Game by Chris Isaak. Great sounds on the guitar, bass, drums, vocals, with guest performers from Eurotrash joining them on stage too. Everything was super casual, seemingly unprepared/unprofessional, late start time, technical difficulties during the show, etc., but we enjoy and appreciate most live music events regardless. Tip: don't order food here, unless you're desperate. It's really bad bowling alley food (see my other review for Homestead Bowl, for more on that).

A bunch of the intermediate+ dancers have fled the scene... probably some to Tekila Rock, some to Alberto's. -2 stars. ===== original 4-stars TL;DR - It's Hot Salsa Friday - the best salsa dance option in the South Bay if you just wanna enjoy dancing without dealing with drunk/sketchy people. When: 1st/3rd/5th Friday of the month, 7pm-9pm lesson, 9pm-1am-ish social. People: Great mix of beginners to advanced social dancers and troupey folk. Gender-balanced venue. Overall friendly community, though it definitely feels different from old HSF at Dance Spectrum. Music: Mix of on1/on2 salsa stuff (Romantica to Latin Jazz), a touch of bachata (~25% songs?), some cha-cha (~10%), and every so often a merengue (5%). More info here: http://www.pbgdance.com/classes/#hotsalsafriday Oh, -1 star mainly for taking the "hot" in HSF too seriously again. Seriously it's a frikkin' furnace. D: Edit 7/14: I forgot to mention -- there's a lot of variance in crowds over the summer so the skill levels are all over the place at times. Just be aware of it.

I've been twice; once at the old venue and once at the new. I find the intermediate lesson a bit "meh" - half is spent on a footwork routine, and half is spent on a move. Both the lead and follower get tips, but I find that learning a move doesn't feel like dancing. As a young-ish woman, I have fun during the open dance. There are more men than women, so I get asked to dance frequently. Most of the guys aren't particularly sketchy, and the average is significantly less sketchy than the club scene. The average age is a bit higher than you might expect at a club. The room isn't huge, but I didn't find it as crowded as some places I have been. I came with a Rueda group and we had people joining our Rueda circle, which was lots of fun. There wasn't much Cuban salsa music played, though there was some Bachata, Chacha, and something else I didn't recognize at all.

For the most part it isn't clique oriented and the randomness of the music is sufficient to fill everyones taste eventually. This is for ballroom dancing, At least for the most part.

There is no Saturday dance anymore and great instructors are gone. I wonder why. A man dropped dead on the dance floor... took bad pharmaceutical products? They require to show proof of the experimental injections to participate. Which is illegal under California laws and they lie that they follow "CDC guidelines". But who cares, just get a fake card, plenty of them around and they won't check. They also collect private information for "tracing", regardless if you're a county resident or not. I emailed them asking questions about safely of their storage for medical and other private info, never got any reply! I suspect, they just get paid by the government for collecting your private details. Go elsewhere, there is no lack of studios around that aren't creepy, won't lie, won't kill you and won't spy on you. Your well-being and privacy are worth more than $10.

It's still there and still going strong. There are still few, if any, hipsters, "techies" or skinny jeans there. Thankfully. I did not see anyone using a cell phone or placing a laptop on the bar. Thankfully. It is still "cash only". No credit cards or payment apps are acceptable. Thankfully. Paul and Harvey is the quintessential anti-Silicon Valley bar in the heart of Silicon Valley. Thankfully. The bartender, Julia, the night I was there, was fantastic. She was spot-on when I needed my beer glass refilled. She remembered the brand I was drinking and remembered my name. She made me feel welcomed and appreciated. I will be back soon. Paul and Harvey is one of the few locations and certainly one of the few remaining bars in the area that has not been colonized by the tech industry. Thankfully.
