Apple Store
Category: Computers
Neighborhood: University District
It's an Apple store. If you want what they've got, you have to go here or maybe the University Bookstore if you have a student discount angle to swing.
I've come to the realization that I really hate most Apple enthusiasts. They're loud fanboys. They're twitter-shitters. They're ignorant about how things work and demand that they "just work" when they click things randomly like a chicken with a head injury.
One might think that they would be an ideal customer to sell things to, but that's not the case either. They're penny stingy and multi-thousand dollar foolish.
Just like most people. They'll stay in a $500 a night hotel with bad service, but not order the $20 sandwich off of the room service menu.
What a sad state of affairs.
So if you have to go to the "Genius Bar" here like I had to for warranty support for a hardware failure and listen to these dips talk out their ass about how things are, you have my sympathy. I also deserve yours.
Never have I pined for the days of Dell outsourced engrish error-code-or-no-replacement-hardware jerks until this day. Now I miss them.

Better Meat

Neighborhoods: Ballard, Greenwood
It's hard to find a quality butcher anymore. I think the vegan militias beat them with sacks of old cucumbers in the dark of night until they go underground.
When I wanted 5lbs of quality tenderloin, I called them up. They provided me exactly what I wanted.
What they may lack in retail proficiency, as I likely paid too much for what I received, they make up for in getting exactly what you ask for.

There is nothing quite as sweet as free steak for business meetings. In this case, I had the crab cakes.
Also highly not bad.
The veggies were undercooked, but I ate them anyway. I was a little surprised that they would release things from the kitchen at a place like this even if doing lunch for 50, but they do. I guess it's just the dinner menu that they break out the reliability that made their brand.
Oh well. Whatever. The venue looks great. The front of house staff does a great job. The food is what you would expect from an expensive chain place (I'll give them a muligan on the veggies because everyone knows that Real True Americans only eat steak and milkshakes.

It's open 24/7. When you get the deal here figured out and can get things to magically appear in the pharmacy and use the drive-thru or when you just really need something at 3am, this isn't a bad place.
Make sure to mace/taze the junkies on the way in, it's like saying hi to them and they like it, and don't make eye contact with the wild animals roming the stacks of low quality merchandise here and you'll be fine.
Best moment: angry girl flashing her Valtrex card for her herpes medication. I'd be pissed too, I'm sure.

Strange VIP service, two bartenders on staff for thousands of people, pretty impressively shitty local talent selection for the before and after headliners.
A little friskdown for the ravers and kiddies. I thought that I didn't go to shows anymore that teen girls went to when they told their parents that they were going to sleep over at a friends house, and then just took off their clothes and danced around in their underwarez. I guess I do. It's all part of the show, folks.
So it's a giant concrete wasteland. There were seats on a riser for the lazy/wasted and a big pit up front. I guess acoustics are for someone else when you're standing in front of a speaker wall.
Anyway. The Crystal Method was cool and The Prodigy didn't disappoint, but this is about the venue, and this is a lame one.

Los Angeles Convention Center
Category: Venues & Event Spaces
Neighborhood: Downtown
A giant spread out place fully stocked with pricks.
Is it really necessary to be a complete fucking asshole to people who are trying to get cool things done in your convention center? It seemed that across the board here, with the exception of the event people who don't work for the center, is yes.
Parking is difficult and annoying and may require you parking in a shadyco shadylot on the other side of the freeway.
Also the layout of this center is stupid. Really stupid.
The architecture is kind of neat, but if they had less giant open pointless spaces and more floor space for people to put things without having to spend 15 minutes walking between halls, that would have been better.

Sweet.
This is like a movie theater that has been upgraded into an entirely new realm of cool.
There's a big bar in the middle of the lobby where there is usually nothing. Good.
They have big comfortable chairs and room to stretch out your legs. Better.
They take your orders for food and drinks at the beginning and during the movie which you are watching. Awesome.
Plenty of screens, lots of space for a variety of movies and people in each theater. Completely worthwhile for the amount of service and coolness.
No screaming babies. No assholes. I'm a fan.

Montlake Bicycle Shop
Categories: Bikes, Bike Rentals
Neighborhood: Montlake
I selected this place to check out based on their coolness rep. Indeed, these are a bunch of cool guys in a bike shop.
I was surprised, to be honest. I thought that I was going to encounter a stronger vibe of the lamesaucebags that I pass on the roads that think they get some special entitlement from the universe because they're riding a bike and don't have to follow any rules of the road. Not so much here.
I was given a competitive price on a bike, they put my accessories together on the bike in a day, they held on to some stuff that I wasn't ready to carry away, and they were cool about it all.
Additionally with new bike purchase, they include a 200 mile tune up to make sure things are settling in right. Class move, guys.

A great little bistro/cafe feeling place. Small but interesting and tasty portions. Just the right amounts to go with a small glass of wine.
This is a place to nibble and speak in adoring tones with your friends and/or love interests.
Meals are intricate and small. Take careful attention to detail here or you'll miss some of the fine points.

I ordered a Japanese single malt, a sushi roll, and associated with the wifi. SSID: "Liberty Loves You" :D
The bartenders dropped in with a couple of bottles after a while and insisted I try some of the other Japanese scotch. Don't mind if I do, awesome dudes.
Their music was enjoyable the entire time. If I worked for the state and these guys were the ruskies, I would have had to give them the missile plans. So good was their prep work for my enjoyment.
Some number of hours later, much work accomplished (shocking if you don't know how I work), many drinks consumed, assorted patrons shocked, impressed, frightened, or traumatized, it was time to go.
To leave for now, but to return soon.
Fuck Remedy Tea. I'm hanging out here.
