The 2015 Quickbooks Connect Conference was held on November 2-4th in Downtown San Jose this year. The conference brings together small business owners, entrepreneurs, accounting professionals, and developers for QuickBooks expert talks, training, hands-on workshops, networking, and more.
Downtown Campbell was well represented at the conference. Andrea Parks and Randy Musterer, the owners of Frost Cupcake Factory and Sushi [confidential] were on the scene and helped lead a breakout session on managing employees in a small business. Even more cool was that Oprah Winfrey was there giving the keynote address and Sushi Randy got a special shout out by Oprah and got to meet with Oprah one on one after the keynote!
Surreal moments happen from time to time. Fortune favors the bold and courageous. Special kudos and congratulations to...

November brings wool carpet sales throughout the store at Carpets and Floors, Inc. It's worth it to check out the fabulous wools available now for especially good prices. Some of the very best wool comes from New Zealand sheep and goes into making the most wonderful rugs and carpets. There are lots of manufacturers and styles to choose from at our store, and the sale will continue through the end of November 2015. We invite you to visit us at 471 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey and take a look!
Did you even know? Make your next event a memorable one at V-LUXE Tasting Room and Lounge in Monterey. They are now accepting bookings for parties, photo shoots, meetings, and other events. Please e-mail the shop for more details.
The show must go on! On the afternoon of October 18, Hot Roux played Bon Ton L'Roy's Lightouse Smokehouse in Monterey. The only problem was that the whole town was without power. No electricity! KPIG radio was on site doing a promotion and they happened to have a "hand held" megaphone. The band borrowed the megaphone, strapped it to a mic stand, and proceeded to play totally unplugged. That's old school blues! A good time was had by all.
(Thanks to Hot Roux's Facebook page for this great story! Click the link to watch the video.)
Well, this isn't really Downtown Campbell news, but it's about one of our guys, Randy Musterer, aka Sushi Randy of Sushi Sushi [Confidential]. Thanks to the great success of the Campbell location, there'll be a second location opening up in Downtown San Jose. Silicon Valley Business Journal wrote a wonderful article summarizing Randy's journey from doing the biotech life of a cancer researcher through his apprenticeship under master sushi chefs and eventually to launching one of the most talked about sushi restaurants in the South Bay. It's well worth the read. Congratulations Sushi Randy!

It's always a lot of fun to have these guys in Downtown Campbell. We made a short mashup video of their performance this time.
Uhmmm... hmmm we seem to have discovered a very clever dancing logo effect! Normally We'd redo the video, but in this case it's a happy accident.
