By Sal Pizarro Verified| The Mercury News Verified The blue-and-white tents of Cirque du Soleil have returned to San Jose, bringing the new touring show, “Echo,” to the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds for the next month. It’s a very Silicon Valley-coded show, with a message about how people interact with nature, layered with a sheen of technology — a 23-foot cube covered in dazzling projection-mapped images acts as a third lead of the show — and punctuated with the jaw-dropping aerial work, acrobatic stunts and humor that are Cirque’s trademarks.
By Sal Pizarro Verified| The Mercury News Verified When I heard about the San Jose Giants’ plan to invest $20 million in improvements in Excite Ballpark, I silently prayed the resulting operation on the 83-year-old stadium wouldn’t turn out to be a “charmectomy.”That’s a term I learned from a real estate buddy, David Lindsay, to describe a homeowners misguided attempt to improve and modernize an older home — usually to sell it — that winds up removing all the quirky details and imperfections that made it charming to begin with.
