If you live in or near San Jose and you happen to be undead then tonight there will be an event custom made for you – Zombie-O-Rama.
The SLG Art Boutiki will have a special Zombie Art show going on to mark the event and we will also be offering our galleries performance area as a staging spot for people who do not want to apply their zombie attire on close to the scene. The Zombie rally point will be Gore Park (of course) and a route will be mapped out to take you to places offering happy hour specials or free gifts, then back to the movie site for Shaun of the Dead which will be preceded with live music.
That’s what San Jose needs… more zombies. If you are going to the event then practice your zombie shuffle and bring canned food as they will be collecting for Second Harvest Food bank at the event. Please do not bring canned brains.

The Tapestry Arts festival is being held again this Labor Day weekend in downtown San Jose. This festival was started as part of the country bicentennial celebration and has been running every year since 1976 (although it was known for years as the Tapestry In Talent). The three-day festival is one of the oldest of the festivals that are staged by local cities and is popular with locals and tourists alike. In 2008 Tapestry Arts drew 150,000 visitors. Tapestry Arts celebrates visual and performing arts and proceeds from the festival support arts education programs in local elementary schools.
Tapestry Arts features food booths and live entertainment in a variety of styles from Rock and Jazz to Blues and Classical.
Sunday, September 6, 2009 at 12:45 PM in Plaza de Cesar Chavez Park the festival will host the 1st annual Trash art fashion show & contest featuring fashion created using trash and recycled materials. This event will feature kids from ages 9 to 18 sporting fashions made from trash. The event is sponsored, aptly enough, by West Valley Collection and Recycling and Green Team of San Jose.

- home improvement products
