Naan
Pretty cool bar/lounge in Dallas that serves sushi till 2am. OMG. Wish I had that here in the bay area.
· $120 credit card purchase
bestfriend There's this woody allen quote about how NYC is great because even though no one wants to order sushi at 2AM, it's nice to be able to.
girlfriday I object to a sushi restaurant being called Naan. Confusing my brain.

Shabu
Tried to take Jacqueline to Toyose and it was a 2 hour wait. Lame. So we decided to get some Shabu and on a recommendation of a friend we went to "Shabu House" in SF. The beef was awesome. It melted in your mouth. All in all, awesome place for meat eaters.

So Restaurant
This is an awesome Korean place in SF. If you are looking to drink Sake and Beer and have some nice greasy fried Korean food. The wings are amazing, as is the fried rice and mushrooms. Had a great time with some old friends there. Really worth it!

dive_philospher no soju? ya gotta drink soju and beer next time!
sammy They don't sell soju at this place. :( We had lots of Sake and Beer though.

Toyose in the Sunset has soju!
productjoy wth!? a "korean place" that doesnt sell soju doesn't sound very korean to me!

how was their yang nyum chicken? i'm trying to find a korean bar that makes legit korean friend chicken, but i haven't found any in the bay =(
sammy It isn't very korean, its mostly korean. It sells some chinese dishes and a couple other things.

I can't think of places with yang nyum other than Cocobang in SF. Have you tried that? I'm not sure if its legit, I'm not Korean, but its really good.

sammy @john reminded me I have to go back to get some rust remover.
productjoy that's awesome that you still play the trombone! i wish i never gave up playing the clarinet in hs. my clarinet is buried somewhere in my closet, neglected and sad
fuego2u good followups my man well played
sammy I'm not joking about the rust. @fuego2u plays in the same salsa band with me. He is the trumpet player. I'll show you next practice.
spacepants nothing was more satisfying then leaning over someone and releasing the spit valve down the back of their shirt.
Off The Wall Soccer
Guest pass for Blippy soccer team.

I got two cards that day, 4 mins in the box. I'm glad Blippy picked it up and scored 2 goals while we were a man down. Go Blippy!

I got 2 cards for screaming at the ref. The guy on the other team was extremely physical and I at some point told him "stop pushing me in the bank". At this point I was standing fairly close, I was guarding him, they were on offense. He then elbowed me in the face. I yelled at the official if he saw that, then I got the card! I sort of got mad at point, and then got another card.

You had to be there I guess.

riddlefish Lol. Nice to see team blippy raising a little hell. I was considering suggesting that next time you go all Tonya Harding on them, but it occurs to me that it wouldn't be the most sportsmanly of things to do. It's probably good I'm not into sports. :/
abdullah i need to come to the next blippy soccer game.
saunieindiego Who was the other team, and who ultimately won?
fuego2u baaallinn
sammy We won 9-3, we were playing Hitachi's indoor team.
sammy When I went back in, I scored a goal too. Ha. Redemption, so sweet.
Toyose
A Korean restaurant in SF with the street name "The Garage". Because it really is in someone's garage. It is a zoned commercial area, but instead of remodeling the bottom of the home, they just turned the garage into the restaurant. The inside is dark, cozy, warm and filled with Korean aromas. Definitely a feel of a dive bar and not at all a garage.

The Kimchi Rice and Seafood Cakes are the best. Fried chicken and soups are great too. Soju, a fruit smoothy mixed with alcohol, is the drink of choice. And this place more than anything else, is a watering hole, that serves great drunk food.

A couple of types of Soju and couple of liters Hite (Korean beer) and some food and you are set for a great night.

Yeah, the roads in LA are nasty. Not sure if I'll spend more money on this clunker, but I'll keep that in mind.

bestfriend whaaaaat
bestfriend oh just realized kira is a dog
katysmith ha - if kira was not a dog, that would be a seriously messed up comment.
sammy haha @katysmith

She must of had something over Thanksgiving dinner. Or maybe someone gave her something. Who knows.
riddlefish Lol. That one threw me off. Partially because I have a human friend named Kyra. It was messed up in my head for a minute after reading that.

So did they actually check her out and say she was ok?
