Who’s going to eat? Where? Yeah!

I’m hoping to only work until noon, so I wanted to get that out there. Sorry for the lack of cleverness.

lacka

Submitted by dingey on Fri, 10/03/2008 - 9:57am.

I think lack of clevernesss is in the air.  Even those of us who didn’t watch the debate feel psychologically clubbed.  It’s just in the air.  Palin is emitting a gas, a dense gas that seals your sinus passages and makes you speak entirely from the hard palate and think like yer brain has a clubfoot.

also, I like food.  Wherevah! i would totally go to Sprout and founder on Kung Pao again, but that’s just me.  I get in these food ruts.  Oh boy.

no motivation

Submitted by cinnamon girl on Fri, 10/03/2008 - 10:08am.

I really do not feel like working.  But, I suppose if Palin can be a VP candidate then it really doesn’t matter if future generations know their intermediate colors.

I overslept this morning and had a really weird dream that I was in some group that had to meet and discuss the debate….it was worse than the one I had where someone was wrestling a human-size rat and I had to shoot it.

I really miss you all and wish my "family values" didn’t get in the way of dining with you. I will keep checking in and see where you all go -who knows, maybe we will throw caution to the wind and dine with little miss sunshine.

Sorta craving mexican food, but I like foods from all nations, ‘cept Talibania. Gravel hurts when you poop it out.

Messican.  There’s always LaPinata!  It ain’t GRREAT, but it ain’t bad, and they have beer.  Giant, giant flagons of beer.  And you know that mexican restaurants dig the kiddies, right!  Bring Ms. Sunshine!  HOLLAH!  Taco wagon!

I’m not saying we hafta go messican. I can get a burrito or something like that at most of the joints we haunt.

Plus, that La Pinata place is kind of cramped, ain’t it?

I’ll find something yummy wherever we go. Yummy.

Hot peppers and hop

Submitted by wizzybit on Fri, 10/03/2008 - 11:10am.

Since I’m suddenly sniffling (and my co-workers just pointed out that I look and sound like crap - thanks!), maybe hot peppers would be a good idea. Which, I can get anywhere, also. So Mexican, downtown, whatever is fine with me.

Richard did call me this morning because there’s apparently a "Mixer on the Mall" tonight during the art hop festivities. That seems a little chilly to me, but what do I know? Is there art we want to look at? Who knows these things?

I just figured out why I look like crap - it’s the old clear lipgloss trick I used to use in the Nursing department. It makes it look like I’m drooling, and very pale. Ha. Still leaving at 1 p.m. at the latest.

I think people think I'm making that place up.

Submitted by Angie on Fri, 10/03/2008 - 12:23pm.

Or when I type about it, my font goes all invisible. No review from this camp.

It’s (Charlie’s) in a good location regarding Art Hop: It’s kinda downtown for people who will be Hopping then want to walk to dining place, but it’s also on the edge of the downtown area, so it won’t have the high-traffic (ped and car) clusterfuckery of trying to do anything in the middle of downtown during Art Hop.

Probably will be 3 or 4 of us, by the way.

A review

Here.

"If you like gelling up your hair, eating mediocre food, and drinking pseudo-tinis in a collared shirt, Charlie Foster’s might be the place for you."

Angie's picture

Hmmm.

Submitted by Angie on Fri, 10/03/2008 - 12:40pm.

But then, if I wanted filet mignon, I wouldn’t be looking for it at a place that prides itself on its grody-tini menu. However, unwarranted slow service will get a big "Fuck you!!!" from me, forever.

 

But then there’s a great review here. ( "Fun place. The service was GREAT. Our server was really friendly, chatty, and knew a lot about the menu items to where she could confidently recommend items. …")

 

I don’t really trust reviews from people I don’t know, like previous customers who aren’t pros. You can read all 217 tripadvisor.com reviews for the hotel you’re researching, and everyone’s all over the map (for example). The stupid shit that some people will bitch about is astounding. One person’s "elegant expensive-looking decor" is another person’s hideous KMart Deco.

Both of those reviews were hilarious, in their own way. Maybe we could go and write out own! It’ll be like a Mad Lib! We can pass it around the table!

Okay, since no decisions have been made, I’m going to check again with my phone-type device.

Free, Art Hop performance. Said he won’t get there until 7:30, and it ends at 9:00.

I think we should fill up on beer and beans then go embarrass the boy.  It’ll be a gas!
