I made a quick trip to the grocery store Saturday night. Oh my.
Only later did it hit me that that Trader Joe’s was in walking distance of a train station, that riders can transfer to the light rail that goes straight to Levi’s Stadium and that maybe that figured in…
Finger foods, desserts, hors d’ouvres, any kind of party food, things especially that didn’t need to be cooked–whole shelves and freezer spaces were picked utterly clean. It was amazing.
One woman with a very full cart told me she’d had to venture out into the crowds and traffic and she was making sure she wouldn’t have to again for awhile.
The police sent out a message today telling us not to go on the expressway and that it was closed past X for security reasons and really, you might just want to stay as far the heck away as you could, y’know?
Stitches West is at the Santa Clara Convention Center the second weekend from now and having missed it last year for the flu, I cannot WAIT to finally go again.
The Levi’s Stadium was built a few years ago just down the street (over the Convention Center’s objections) and the biggest parking lot serves both.
So, um, they don’t need to use that stadium for awhile now that football’s over, right?

Last year there was a hockey game on the Saturday night of Stitches West. We couldn’t use the parking structure that I usually use (same side of street from the CC, right across from the stadium). And the traffic at 6 when the market closed was crazy.
A hockey game, outdoors, in a football stadium. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again.
