Well, apparently the good people at Alice & Friends were frightened by the prospect of entering Kitchen Stadium (or maybe they're just afraid of Chairman Kaga. Hell, who wouldn't be?), but they were a no-show last night.
Um, what I'm trying to say is, the restaurant was closed last night, although they do promise, on a note taped to the door, to re-open Saturday, May 1st. Instead, there was Moody's, and there were onion rings. And fries. And entirely too much sangria. This is a very bad combination, and readers are advised to avoid it.
One side effect is writing horribly elliptical blog entries with entirely unnecessary Iron Chef references.
If you believe there's any such thing as an unnecessary Iron Chef reference.
Not much point claiming I'll return to this and rewrite it into something coherent, is there? No one believes me when I say that anymore.
Details are hazy. I think I owe XXX and XXX a round of drinks, since they each bought one at Simon's and my vodka Red Bull's were probably the most expensive thing. Also, Preston Klik bands tend to break up, whether I'm involved or not. The one-man Steel Magnolias at Broadway Armory is worth your time and the quite reasonable cost, and the program is a work of art. And Ebert gave Shaolin Soccer three stars.
Elliptical, I said. And also, hazy.
I think I have a lemon wedge in my small intestine.
CLAREE, YOU ARE TOO TWISTED FOR COLOR TV!!
I haven't agreed with many of Ebert's reviews in the past few years, but he's right -- Shaolin Soccer is a fun, fun flick. He seems almost ashamed to admit he enjoyed it in the review. though. I don't know why -- since its intended audience would not expect to be another "Bend it Like Beckham" or "Kill Bill"in the first place.
Trance, you're still doing better than me. I still cannot feel my brain.
Does this mean I didn't have to redact you and XXX's names in the entry?
K., as I've mentioned before, Ebert also gave three stars to Gamera: Guardian of the Universe.
Clearly, he's a man to listen to.
you went out with two different women named XXX? racy.
luvabeans, not so much. As usually happens when I go out with two women, they spent most of the evening flirting with each oth--
Ok, I'll stop.
moody's serves sangria????? who knew? it's right across from my house and i always hated that they only served nasty redneck beer!
deshigrrrl, yep. Not so much with the vegan/vegetarian food options, but the sangria flowed freely.
Have you been to the Ethiopian restaurant just south of Moody's on Broadway? We briefly considered going there instead, except somebody once had a bad experience at Mama Desta's and started having flashbacks. . .
yes.. i have been to that ethiopian place.. ethiopian diamond, right? it's good! i just don't really care for the bread they serve under the food.. it's like sourdough-y. but they have great sambusas which remind me of indian samosas.. and their food in general is awesome. except the bread. ;)
You don't like njera?
UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!
I do agree, though, that sambusas and samosas are the bomb.
I just have to try to convince TranceJen to dare enter an Ethiopian place again, is all.
