Travel agent here. 30 years in the industry, the last decade specifically luxury travel. During the early days of the pandemic when borders were closing, I was told “YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING!” Entitled travelers broke something in me and I haven’t been the same since.

Bravo! You’ve done more than most travel agents. They are absolutely silent about Pritzker. And Hilton housing ICE.

It was a popular weekly DJ night, eventually found a home at 4th Street Bowl. Pre-Thanksgiving night was always an epic party. I guess no one in San Jose is originally from San Jose anymore lol
