OAKLAND — Brandon Chase Wittenauer hadn’t planned on going to the dance party in East Oakland Friday night. The 32-year-old musician from Hayward, who went by “Chase” and “Nex Iuguolo,” got a last-minute call asking him to come to the warehouse known as the Ghost Ship, his aunt, Enid Dias,” said Monday, recounting what she’d heard from her home 3,000 miles away in Florida. Later that night, the space turned into an inferno, and Wittenauer was one of at least 36 people killed in the blaze. Authorities have released the names of 17 of those victims, including Wittenauer, and have said a 17-year-old also died in the blaze.

A quick verbal Rorschach test: What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you read: “The Way You Look (at me) Tonight”?  Whatever you imagine (Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers? something steamier?) is probably light-years away from what audiences will see in the new collaborative performance work with that title, choreographed by Jess Curtis and Claire Cunningham. Curtis has been a notable presence on the Bay Area dance scene for more than 30 years, both as a performer-dancer with Contraband and a choreographer for his own company, Jess Curtis/Gravity. His work has received six Isadora Duncan Awards locally, and he is highly sought after in the international dance world, as well.

That’s right, Malia is like the rest of us: She can’t remember her Apple ID. It’s easy to imagine Michelle Obama frantically making phone calls to former staffers to see if anyone remembers it. It’s also easy to imagine the concerns Malia and Michelle have about the phone winding up in the wrong hands; the phone could have the personal numbers of some pretty powerful people. Page Six said that a representative for the Obama family declined to comment. This story has been updated to include TMZ’s report that Malia Obama was driven out of the festival in a golf cart.
