You’ve probably heard all the buzz about Santa Cruz vying for Google’s fiber (kudos to Network Santa Cruz for the snazzy “Think Big about a Gig” title).
All of us here at Cruzio are stoked about the possibility of Google bringing fiber to Santa Cruz (especially the open access part). We’d love it if everyone had incredible connections to the Internet.

So what does Cruzio Internet want for its 20th birthday? To expand its services, and gain new facilities.
Well, we got our wish.

If there was ever a masterpiece meant to be brought to life among the redwoods of Santa Cruz, it is A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Enchantment and wonder are no stretch of the imagination when the dappled light of a dreamy forest falls upon your face and friends gather to picnic in the Glen.
Now, I have to admit, from all of William’s works, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is my absolute favorite. I’ve read it more times than I can count, I’ve seen it, and I’ve even rehearsed it; so while I am biased, I expect the absolute best.
