I was there as a guest of a weekly TV show. People were super nice. The facility is clean and…read morespacey. I had to load and unload a lot of things between my van to the studio, and I have to tell you it's really inconvenient. But it has nothing to do with this studio because it is the building that had set up this security feature of the front door. Basically the front door gets locked after 6PM. You can open it only from inside, which is fine by itself, but the door is programmed so you can keep it open for 30 seconds or something. If the door is open for more than the set time, the door gets locked and cannot open again until they call the security and go through the procedure of resetting the door. People who use the facility are very happy about the facility itself, but they don't like the way the front door works. But they do have super expensive equipments so I understand it. I moved my stuff to the right in front of the front door, then put a few items at a time. Put a few items in and close the door. Then scan the motion sensor and open the door from inside and do a few more items. It really takes two persons to just load and unload because the door has to be closed so many times just to avoid the shut down of the system. You can move a lot of stuff alone, but it'll take forever. On bringing my stuff in and taking my stuff out, on both times someone helped me. I wish there's a solution to this because being have to bring equipments is common to TV productions. With all my complaints about the complicated front door, I give 5 stars because CreaTV didn't choose to have the front door situation. It seems it's a combination of the building management and regulations.

The SubZERO festival is an event presented by South First Fridays (but this took place on both…read moreFriday and Saturday evening this past weekend in June). It's basically 2-3 blocks of streets closed off to vehicles, lined with booths and stands presenting art and music exhibits and selling colorful and quirky creations to the public. There's a beer garden, and stages at each end with live music (lots of slowcore music on the main stage, a sort of indie rock). The real entertainment was the art itself coming from the various vendors and artists. There was an interesting musical exhibit (giant instrument), the Space Palette, that apparently would only run after sundown. Even booths that were just selling items had really great paintings and sculptures to view, making it feel like an outdoor art museum in the streets. Then of course some of the actual venues on 1st Street were showcasing pieces of art and culture as well, at no cost to visitors, such as the MACLA, a contemporary arts space focused on the Chicano/Latino experience. There were about 6-7 food trucks at one end, extremely spaced out. Earlier in the evening only one had a line and it was very short... El Bombero 408 (looked like a fire truck), serving yummy mexican food, including shrimp quesadillas! Another truck, De La Tierra, served plant-based vegan food. I recall Fresh Catch Poke truck as well. So, yeah several different options, but nothing that really stood out that much to me. For a festival on a Saturday evening, I'd say the place wasn't very busy, I guess that's good in the covid era, with lots of open air to roam around comfortably. I hear it's been a lot busier in the past and had a lot more to offer. Later at night it did get more crowded, but not too much. To me, it was a cool low-key thing to do as we transition from spring to summer season. And the temperature was perfect outside, a comfortable 72 degrees in the evening and mid 60's later at night. Pretty ideal for an enjoyable night out. Also, in an ideal and fitting location, in the SoFA district, where we were able to check out the new Mama Kin venue as well for some drinks and live jazz before our night ended, since it's one of the many businesses on the block (formerly known as Cafe Stritch). I'm sure parking's been worse in previous years when the event was busier, but I was able to find free street parking just around the corner... might have gotten lucky though, plus I arrived early like 6pm.

I used to be a DJ here from 1996 to 1998 and it was a great experience and still is a great station…read moreto listen to because of all the diverse music formats and shows the station had to offer featuring under represented music not found on commercial radio where I came across a lot of excellent music from a punk metal hard perspective as well as opened up my mind to other genres including jazz up to walking away with a production piece keepsake of my own. KSJS is a gateway and experience for those wanting to learn about broadcasting etc. and a great way to meet and work with good people. My passion was more audio over video and left with the basics of digital audio editing that can now be done with simple software on a home computer. For those at KSJS and however you are involved in the station enjoy your time there and get the most out of it. For those listening be open minded and stop judging the occasional belch because I got away with a lot more on A 2 to 6 am shift which would never have been possible on commercial radio and probably said at least one thing in the early am during a traffic report that probably was not ideal but not offensive. It was a wild time for me back in day meeting drunken rhythm Jazz and blues artists and being in close quarters with them laying down legal ids and liners from then station one of which was featured on a sports weekly segment because it was off the wall funny. Those days I do miss and wish I would have stayed involved longer but the real world called me in 1998 and I started my next chapter. Highly recommend the experience to SJSU students regardless of their major and to judgmental listeners, cut the station a break as you might not find this style of college radio or freedom anywhere else. Tune in online and phone in your requests and if it meshes with the DJs show the you might find it honored in 15 minutes or less as the technology is more instantaneous depending on your request. I wish KSJS well now and in the future with many years of longevity to come and yes it will change with history. Wild times in the 20th century and wild times today and KSJS covers it all. Support your local college radio station out there in San Jose. Peace out.

KLIV has fantastic coverage of bay area news. My wife is often surprised at my knowledge of local politics, local news, local events, and local vendors (via local advertisements).

TIPS: * South bay traffic reports are every 7 minutes, and will tell you what freeway road sensors all over the bay area are picking up in the way of slow traffic, along with what the CHP is reporting in the way of accidents * At 8:57 a.m. they "dig to the bottom of the big stack of news stories" for funny, offbeat news (be listening between 8 and 9 for George Sampson to give you other offbeat news stories as he continues to dig all the way to the bottom) * Are you a foodie? Listen for Mr. Produce, Phil Cosentino, to tell you what fruits and vegetables are in season and what this year's crop tastes like.
