Low Ticket Alert! Michael Carbonaro at the Bankhead!

If you’ve ever watched The Carbonaro Effect and thought, ā€œThere’s no way that’s realā€ā€”now’s your chance to see for yourself. Michael Carbonaro is bringing his hit live show, Lies on Stage, to the Bankhead Theater in Livermore on Friday, May 16, 2025, at 8 PM.

Expect an evening of jaw-dropping illusions, unexpected twists, and the kind of laugh-out-loud magic that’s made Carbonaro a fan favorite across the country. It's weird, it's hilarious, and it's happening right here in the Tri-Valley. Bonus: there’s a VIP Meet & Greet option if your crew wants to meet Michael, snap a pic, and get something signed after the show!

Livermore Welcomes Dave’s Hot Chicken!

I love spicy food. I love chicken sandwiches. So when I spotted the Dave’s Hot Chicken sign going up at the old BofA spot in the Livermore Lowe’s shopping center about six weeks ago… I may have let out a little yessss.

My in-laws live in San Luis Obispo, and we’ve hit up Dave’s down there a few times—it’s solid. Super simple menu: pick a sandwich or strips, choose your heat level (from ā€œNo Spiceā€ to ā€œReaperā€), and grab a few sides. My kids are already plotting their orders. And honestly? So am I. Instagram says they open on Friday!
