Some of us checked out comedy/reggae night at Shenanigans last night, which I have wanted to do since I drove by that shitty place and saw a sign that said "Thurs Comedy/Reggae". We did not hear any reggae but we did see some "comedy". Alec Roberts did an impromptu set and he was quite good. Nice delivery. I look forward to seeing him again. I think he gigs at the Lunas comedy night regularly.
Here's the aforementioned "puto" scratched on the door of my car.
I got doughbots donuts for my work today, a dozen, mixed of "premium" and regular, which is 18 bucks.
I hate to say, but they were just ok. The P B and J had peanut butter smeared on top and unremarkable-tasting strawberry jam in the middle. The donut itself was really bready, so it did kind of taste just like a PB and J, not any better than that. I split the chai and lemon cake donuts and the consistency was not that good. A little too dry and floury in the middle and the chai didn't really taste like chai. I feel like a dick, and they're probably going to google themselves and see this. My coworkers who tried "the dude" both said it was good!
I liked the bacon maple but I feel that my butt can only handle a half of one a year.
ReplyDeleteIn other news you keep a shiny, shiny car my friend.
Update from the anecdote troll:
ReplyDeleteI just listened to two of my co-workers outside my office complaining about "unbelievable" number of medical marijuana ads in the SN&R.
Co-worker #1: Look at this! This is unbelievable. It's just filled with cannabis ads. (Sound of him riffling through the paper).
Co-worker #2: I know. It's ridiculous. [He starts telling a anecdote about a client who got a pot card for having a sore finger, but he speaks too quickly, and I am unable to scribble it down on my scratch pad]. They say it's medicinal. It's not medicinal.
Co-worker #1: Yeah, that's a joke.
Anyway, speaking of the SN&R, I thought they did a really nice job with this year's Best Of issue. My memory is bad, but it seems like the giant color photos of the winners is something new.

did they really call it cannabis?
ReplyDeleteI tried a bite of the bacon maple and still felt the texture was all wrong. Too thick and floury.
the dude is the way to go, I think. You gotta eat it warm and in between sips of coffee
ReplyDeleteI'm picturing your co-worker looking through the SNR weed supplement & thinking it was the regular mag. I still haven't looked at the best-of because the SNR rack outside Ironsides (where I sit & drink all day) is still empty.

Softball team supported by weed ads: don't mess with it!
ReplyDeleteHe did say cannabis. Co-worker #1 is pretty hip for a middle-aged white guy. He once told me that he liked all kinds of music, even some "electronica."
ReplyDelete(Now I need to stop talking shit about my co-workers...please, co-workers, if you read this, try to remember that Jesus made me this way)

Man, that comedy night was rough. I really gotta respect Alec for having the balls to get up there and do his set. It was funny too.

Yes this is the first year with the "big pictures" in the SN&R Best Of. I saw those big pictures in Midmo of awesome locals in their Best Of and was like "big pictures, or your fired." Then I took a huge bong rip and proceeded to knock out some pingpong while neglecting to restock the Old I newsstand.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, the city of Sacramento will rake in nearly $3 million on it's 4% pot tax by this time next year, not to mention an additional $2 million in fees/permit fees. Everyone's in on the game.
Not to mention the extra tax revenue from all the cat-in-the-hat hat sales.

What is happening with the Bannanas and the Four Eyes show now that the fire escape is no more? Please say the show will go on...
ReplyDeleteIt's been moved to Luigi's. Maybe The Bananas won't cancel now? We'll see.
ReplyDeletebiz
the Bananas were never confirmed for that show! People shouldn't list it before they have it confirmed.
ReplyDeleteIt's hare for mere mortals to understand the complex layers of a Bananas confirmation.
ReplyDelete-miller
First you get hare, then you get the money.

Is it like Inception? You wake up from a dream where MikeRMike has said yes, and then you're in another dream where Scott has plans.
ReplyDeleteTopical jokes!
We simply confirmed that we were going to talk soon about whether we should confirm.
ReplyDeleteOr did we?

The Bananas. All the promises, none of the delivery. And actually few of the promises.
ReplyDeleteWe played last night at The Blue Lamp & like 10 people were there!
