In Silicon Valley for the summer...any good clubs?
Hi CATA's, I'm interning in Sunnyvale for the summer from now until mid-August, and I'm living in San Jose during this time. I don't really know anyone in the area, so I just wanted to say hi and see what you guys and girls that live around here do for fun. More specifically I'm interested in some bars/clubs that play house/techno. Thanks in advance for responses, and it would be cool if I met some of you.

I hang out in SV often, but haven't really found anything decent as far as what you're describing. You're just better off heading into SF. It's not too bad...maybe 45-50 minutes away, which is what I drive from OC to get to LA anyway on the weekends. And if that drive is too far for you, you could always head north to Millbrae and hop on the BART from there. I do that often.

Howdy!
I live in Sunnyvale, so there is no house music here.
But, you should check out Cardiff Lounge. I'm going there tonight, cuz on Tuesdays it is popping!
PM me for more info!

Just go to SF!
Cardiff Lounge in downtown Campbell is good if you like house.
Blowfish in Santana Row on the border of Campbell & San Jose is good for house as well.
Once in awhile there'll be EDM at Avalon in Santa Clara, Abyss in Sunnyvale and clubs in downtown San Jose. Usually Cyber JOe & D:Jay would host them there.

In Palo Alto, there is B412 that plays House/Techno. Saturday nights are better than Fridays.

Thanks for the replies...so it seems like SF is the place to be around here. It sucks that I don't have a car here, but it looks like there are other ways to get there as well.
What about any underground/house parties in the area?

if you don't mind hanging out in the city until 8 every morning, there's a ton of stuff you can do until southbound service reopens... the most reliable bet is the endup, which plays strictly house and techno around the clock on the weekends.

4 Clubber, If you wanna trek up with me and some of us to 1015 this weekend you can. Im playing this weekend and you can check out 1015 Folsom San Francisco for yourself. I recommend bringin a camera...
Your 21 right?
Fair warning, I usually get there when the club opens, and dont leave until the club closes. sometimes 6-7AM.

Good idea.
And there's like bunch of people that live around Sunnyvale that goes to the city often, hitch a ride with them.
