Day Clubbin'

Seeking out new hobbies and cultivating long-held pleasures can present a real challenge in today's time-scarfing society. While classes offer a fine-and-dandy way to explore and expand interests, not everyone has the time to enroll in night school. But there are many one-day and short-term classes and workshops that can get those artistic, creative juices flowing without the long-term commitment. Or if you're saturated with learning, there are clubs that meet monthly. Clubs Creative Writing Club--Barnes & Noble Westgate, 1600 Saratoga Ave, San Jose (408/370-0444).
