LAST CALL FOR ARTS CHAMPIONS: Friday is the deadline to nominate people and organizations for the City of San Jose’s Cornerstone of the Arts awards. As was the case last year, the city’s office of cultural affairs and its arts commission will be honoring awardees in three categories: Cornerstone of the Arts, given to individuals who have provided long-standing support for the arts — think of it as a Lifetime Achievement Award; Creative Impact, for individuals who have led a cultural or artistic project or event that’s made a significant difference for the community; and Business Support for the Arts, intended for companies and their leaders who have demonstrated strong support for the city’s cultural scene.

“It’s a fantastic field, and we should keep and maintain it,” said Councilman Joe Goethals, who grew up playing on the baseball diamond. Youth baseball and adult softball advocates had been alarmed by a proposal, one of three preliminary concepts that city staff and a design consultant produced for public review, that would have converted Fitzgerald Field into open space. As for tennis, the council unanimously supported keeping some courts at the park, but probably not six. Council members generally favored having two or three courts and relocating the rest. Possible locations for added courts include the new Bay Meadows development, Bayside/Joinville Park and Beresford Park.

If ever a rock star seemed perfectly designed for devotion it was David Bowie, that protean shapeshifter with the startlingly divergent eyes, unearthly beauty, and multiple musical identities, In celebrating what would have been his 71st birthday, The Chapel in San Francisco’s Mission District hosts the two-night 7th annual David Bowie Birthday Bash Jan, 5-6 with Reverent Father Lysol Tony-Romeo’s First Church of the Sacred ballet flats brands Silversexual, which he describes as “the world’s only Bowie worship band.”..

The “Bird Box” challenge really has gone viral, to some extent. And the warnings about its dangers are mainly aimed at those who would take it too far, of which there are plenty of examples. The #BirdBoxChallenge hashtag started showing up within days of the movie’s release on Netflix. One early video, recirculated on a few meme accounts, shows a dad accidentally walking his toddler into a wall while trying to recreate one of the movie’s blindfolded scenes. Another mildly viral early adopter shows a group walking down a Brooklyn street. The video is staged to make it appear as if one participant bolts from the group and falls down the stairs of a subway station.
