A friend of mine recently stated that he does not care for most comedies because he always sees the punchline coming. In order for him to enjoy a comedy, he must be surprised by the joke. In that case, I truly believe that he would LOVE The Brothers Solomon. The titular brothers, John (Will Arnett, [...]
NFT Radar: The Canterbury Ales & Eats
X-Posted from Not For Tourists. Few literary scholars know Chaucer’s twenty-fifth lost Canterbury Tale, about the wretched hive of scum and villainy known as the Canterbury Ales and Eats. Lack of notoriety didn’t stop some Seattle entrepreneur from opening a tribute business. Though located on the north end of Capitol Hill’s quaint, huppie-inhabited (hipster + [...]
Goodbye to Sunset
On Friday I went to the Sunset Bowl in Ballard for what I imagine will be the last time. I have fowl-weather patrons of the place to thank for an awkward and cold farewell to the place that we called home for so many weekends. Where were all those crowds when Sunset seemed like it [...]
NFT Radar: Rancho Bravo Tacos
X-Posted from Not For Tourists. Tucked away in the corner of the Wallingford Winchell’s parking lot, one might not even notice Rancho Bravo Tacos. But of all the roadside taco trucks, this one is definitely worth checking out. Strategically situated one block down from Dick’s Drive-In and open till 2:30am on weekends, the grinning Rancho [...]
NFT Radar: Louie's Cuisine of China
X-Posted from Not For Tourists. The stately black building that greets you as you cross the Ballard Bridge is a long-standing institution. It was one of several Chinese restaurants opened by the Louie family in the Seattle area in the 1930’s. The remaining Louie’s restaurant upholds the class and tradition from that era. The high [...]
Wizard World
Please enjoy this hilarious promo for the Wizard World convention in L.A., made by my lovely and talented friends Dom and Ben.
NFT Radar: La Casa Del Mojito
X-Posted from Not For Tourists. In a town where “fusion” is on the rise, La Casa Del Mojito dares to serve classic Latin American and Cuban dishes with precision. Adventurous eaters mightn’t have the best experience but the food is so stupendous, it’s hard to imagine any patron unhappy. While, the vegetarian selection is limited, [...]
New Blog!
I have a new blogging gig with MyZip. I am currently the sole voice of authority regarding the 98105 zip code, within which I also reside. I just started so I only have two posts up at the moment. But check back often, as I am supposed to put up 3 posts per week. If [...]
God, I Hate You Michael Bay
Guess who wants to remake Rosemary's Baby? So yet another classic film (and one of my favorites) is being stripped of its soul and artistic credibility and crapified for the blockbuster crowd. I take some small solace in the fact that Michael Bay have probably never heard of Straight to Hell or Cemetery Man. I [...]
NFT Radar: Taco Gringos
X-Posted from Not For Tourists. Much to my delight, the taco appears to be rising in the ranks of urban street food. Forging the path is Taco Gringos, who give their tiny store front operation most of the characteristics of an urban cart with the added bonus of getting to wait for your tacos under [...]
