Week in review: “Cool it, cat!”, SF Bay Area arts, newspapers

I must say, I relish the moments when Loni meets her equal. That was the case in our first episode, "The Teacher & The Pear," of the new web show The Artist Diaries. Follow Loni as she pursues her right brain dream of becoming a master painter. Her teacher had to...

San Jose Sharks finally make deal everyone expected

Talk about anti-climatic. Kind of like the Sharks' finish to the '08/09 season, lots of talk and expectations, but ultimately resulting in a rubber chicken of a first round exit. Or something like that. The news: San Jose Sharks get soap opera star Dany Heatley from the Sens in exchange for...

Theater review: ‘Awake and Sing!’ pulls no punches

Nothing like a great depression to get you in the mood to deal with love and money. It's like a sucker punch—all while trying to balance the checkbook on $26 a week and keep the family on the rails. 'Awake and Sing!', written in 1935 by Clifford Odets, pulls no...
