From the editor
This week, I visited Smash City Rage Rooms near the Diridon Station and oh man, was that fun. I’ll update you with my experience a little later, but I definitely recommend going to blow off some steam. You’re equipped with sledgehammers, crowbars, and bats and put into a room of old electronics + glass bottles. The loud rock music starts and you can hear bottles smashing from rooms next to you. What’s not to enjoy?
