I won a ticket to this last year.  Thanks, Yelp!

I think I may have sobered up about a week ago.

It reminds me of pea soup.

Looking for a quick bite around Book City, we stumbled on this tiny gem.

Their food is tasty.  That's really all you need to know.  There's seating, but it's borderline nonexistent.  There's drink, but it's mostly crazy-sugary sweet tea.  Their dirty rice is positively filthy, and I mean that in the best way possible the spices are near-overwhelming.  Their shrimp boil is boiled to perfection.  Their corn bread will make you, uh, wish you knew how to make corn bread as amazing as theirs.

Oh, and People love them on Yelp, but the very friendly *owners didn't know what that meant.  

*When they were bringing out the cornbread frest from the oven, they asked "You sure you want a slice of this?  It's pretty fresh and hot."  It's a complete no brainer of a question.

I just unfolded my Yelp poncho.

Due to the nature of how it was originally folded, it will never bunch up into a perfect little rectangle ever ever again.  I should have studied it before unfolding it, but hindsight is 20/20, eh?

Yeah, it's like an actual size road map of the USA.

Event:  Drinks delicious, people perfect, eats exceptional, venue vivacious.

I just wish I could have pulled off the glorious Ron Swanson look, but I didn't have three-four months to grow a 'stache out.

If you got a poncho, don't ever take it out of the bag.  Unless it's raining, then if you leave it in the bag you're a dumbass.

New Vietnamese Restaurant

Whoever named this place is kind of a genius.  Not like cure cancer genius, more like seedless-watermelon inventor genius.  It's sure to be the first result if you put Vietnamese Restaurant into Google.  

How new are we talking?  It's at least a few years old and the sign out front looks ancient.  I love the food, love the pho, love their noodles.  It gets a lot of points for being relatively cheap and NOT a chain restaurant downtown.

The FaceSkynetYelpbook Liking of Business Button is passed. The system goes on-line April 21st, 2010.  All language and human decisions are removed from writing reviews, save for LIKE.  FacekSkynetYelpbook begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, April 24th.

Oh, dear.  Somebody better call Ahnuld, this is way bigger than his promoting of his all-time smash hit holiday classic Jingle All The Way!

    I'm thinking of buying their Theremin and creating my own theme music.  Maybe also come up with some ominous "Republican" and "I Am Deleting My Account" themes.  Sell them to John Williams for the upcoming Yelp movie by Steven Spielberg.  Get rich, move to a place with tropical weather, yada yada yada.

    They encourage you to play their instruments.  I turned on the Theremin and made noises like I was in an awful Ed Wood movie.

    If you are looking to become the next Beck but don't have two turntables or a microphone, come here and they can hook you up.  It's never too busy.  They won't be able to sell you Beck's dancing skills, though.  That you'll have to do on your own dime.

Roasted Corn Stand

Since this amazing creation last popped up in Pike Place Market, it has moved.  The guy who runs the cart is now right near Dog in the Park in Westlake Center.  

The location within the "park" is besides the point, just walk into the area and you will smell it.  Several minutes later you might possibly snap out of a trance-like state with an ear of corn on the cob 100% devoid of any remaining kernels with no memory of what just happened and missing $2.50.  In case this happens, just accept it, it's par for the course for eating roasted corn on cold Winter nights.

Unless of course you're missing all your money and can't remember your name.  Then you might want to call 911.
