- So, here’s my weekend in one post! While up in the city (that being San Francisco) Saturday, I picked up the new Lemon Jelly DVD and the latest am-boy vinyl at Amoeba on Haight. Both are truly excellent experiences! JL didn’t lie when they have a disclaimer on their new album warning the listener it’s not the old Lemon Jelly (on a side note, you can find one of their tracks in the background of the new Hitchhiker’s Guide trailer). Am-boy, of course, proves that FL Studio can kick out some great tunes in the right hands (wish the album was a bit longer though).
With music in tow we headed over to Cha Cha Cha which is a great little tapas-styled restaurant. . .if you don’t mind waiting two hours! Once done there, we were harassed by the SFPD for not having a license plate on the front of my car and learned my brother still has issues with the traffic court. . .and according to the police, one of my shirts appears covered in blood.
Sunday, we bounce downtown to probably the best Chinese restaurant in existance, House of Nanking. I’ll have to compare it to when I actually visit Hong Kong and Macao this summer. In the mean time, look for this colorful sign next time you are over on Columbus.
Don’t be fooled by how run down it looks though (oddly enough, last year they closed down to remodel but it still looks pretty lame inside and out). Inside, you’ll find the most amusing owner that will order your food for you. You tell him what you WILL eat and he will whip you up a five course meal in about 10 minutes. GO NOW! Tell him you want “Pork, chicken, beef, and shrimp!”
