Default Anything to do in Santa Clara?

I'm going to be in Santa Clara for a training course at IBM on sunday-wednesday. Is there anything to do in the evenings there? I'm assuming there will be something going on due to the holiday.

Wednesday night its off to vegas for SEMA. Maybe I'll see some of you there!
Thanks.

santa clara sucks. it's mostly an industrial area. going to man jose (san jose) sucks too. yes, i said man jose. every club you go down here has way too many guys. also the fat chicks think they're hot stuff. the hot chicks are just that & tough to approach.

milpitas is too risky for mod'd cars and the 880 area smells. lots of asian plazas though. sunnyvale is borderline with mod'd cars. fremont isn't that much better than santa clara, just with lots of empty tech buildings.

best bet for having fun is SF.

give me a holler when you're in town and i'll take you to dave and busters. not the best place, but there's booze and an arcade / midway. maybe we can hit up a strip club too.

hit me up. I'm taking Monday off to head to Zcargarage in the morning. You can take a look at some of the modded Z's in the area at that shop.

Thanks guys, goin clubbin isn't a big deal cause I'll have plenty of time for that at SEMA (apparently I've got some tickets to some of the private parties ) I'm sure there will be plenty of non-fat chicks there.

nitrouz - Unfortunately, I'll be over at the IBM office for most of the day on monday until 5pm

I'd like to drop by Z Car garage and take a look at your car and others. Do you know what time the guys over there are in the shop until? I'm staying at the Marriot hotel on Mission Blvd and I'm right down the road from there. Maybe I can go straight from IBM over to the shop after I get out of there.

Oh, and I don't have a rental car so I'll have to grab a cab.

Yep. I think an hour or so would give me plenty of time to check out the place.

Beat up Jetta? Certainly nicer than my beater (94 nissan frontier).

what do you do for ibm if you don't mind me asking? I work for ISS Internet Security Systems who just got bought out by IBM. So i guess i work for ibm too? I haven't lived in santa clara area for awhile but back when i did Thursday nights theres a free concert in downtown sj that's usually pretty good. there's also some good hookah lounges. It all depends on what you're wanting to do.

I don't work for IBM, I'm just attending a training course that they offer for IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler. I've been an admin on our firms system for almost 1.5 yrs and still have had no "formal" training. Not sure how much I'll actually learn, but it should be a good travel opportunity.
