ha, i was at gaston's restaurant in lima when he asked us where we were from, and i said SF and he's all "no way, i just opened a restaurant there" and i said "well mcdonald's just opened up their first restaurant in cuzco, talk about a trade deficit..."

good one

talk about a trade deficit, am i right ladies??

i've been to la mar. it was pretty good, but honestly WAY over priced (steve will come back and get really angry at me because he's been like five times and LOVES it)

limon is also pretty good. but limon rotisserie is amazing. the crowdedness is kinda annoying, but the food is fantastic and decently priced.

i haven't been to mi lindo peru in years, but remember thinking it was good. nice and down homey.

i think i have a "how-to" eat at la mar post on ilx somewhere, it basically tells you what to order and what to avoid and i sent it to mrs. jaxon when she asked me for it and then you guys order like all entrees and didn't order anything i rec'd so basically fuk u.

la mar is not a homey dive in bernal heights or some trendy mission spot where your server with a brow ring cannot pronounce causa correctly. acurio's one of the top chefs in the world, and that spot is some of the most expensive real estate in SF. gaston's extremely famous in south american and europe. when we were at his place this past september, gaston introduced us to two chefs from el bulli were there cooking in the kitchen learning and practicing his techniques. i can't recommend his restaurant in lima highly enough.

that said i haven't been to la mar in a while, i know they've changed chefs a few times but i have fond memories of my experiences there.

wow that is beautiful! i had sushi tonight but reading that times article made me realllly want ceviche.

also you just reminded me i should try to make a causa at some point. that would be a fun (and probably disastrous) experience.

hey steve shasta

I could pull the record off the shelf and listen to it for the first time in 15 years, or I could download these mp3s

thx 4 thinking of meeee milty! haven't heard it also in 15 years probably either haha.

side A 'Krautsploitation' is holding up, and the front cover still cracks me up

lolz. told you. so butthurt.

u never sent me the recos.

also, i could give 2 shits if a place is trendy or not if it's good.

to be fair u really love it when ur waiter has a brow ring

i sent them to your wife dawgy. also, you never pick where you eat either, lol.

hahaha EXCEPT for Friday lunchytime.

all lies!

Finally hit Halu on 8th & Clement last night. That place is super cute. Had a small assortment of yakitori and a really great cold ramen dish and this crazy mayonaisse-y Japanese pizza thing. The wife is claiming it as her new favorite spot.

Aww, that place is great. It's actually a fairly deep menu yakitori-wise (check their specials board for the seasonal stuff).

Sorry I missed out Tuesday night. Also, tell her now she's got all her fundraising done but she needs to up her miles (as do I!).

what a life

gibby, when you come out to SF? UCSF wants you.

"Aww, that place is great. It's actually a fairly deep menu yakitori-wise (check their specials board for the seasonal stuff)."

Yeah we sat right under the specials board. Chicken skin is the best (first time I had that was at this awesome yakitori place in Dunedin.)

"Also, tell her now she's got all her fundraising done but she needs to up her miles (as do I!)."

I think she's planning a Sunday/Tuesday ride this week. She'll drop you a line.

we will see! my friends who live there got hitched while i was in uganda, so i've been meaning to go and visit to make it up to them. not sure when i can make this happen, mind, but hopefully soon.

steve, how old are you? i'm assuming you're older than i am. did you hit a bummerz streak in your early thirties?

dude, i'm older than methuselah.

my bummerz streak was in my early 20s. lots of deaths including terminal illness in the nuclear family, some extremely shitty financial repercussions that followed, workaholicism as a form a therapy... 30s have been a breeze in comparison.

how are you doing dude? you healthy?

i will be 31 in january :(

just found out someone from high school died of ALS a few days ago, at the ripe old age of 28

:(

just yesterday in a store, heard someone talking about someone else dying of ALS. weird

steve shasta i have a question about DENIM

okie dokie...?

i'm on AIM rn... " ffooggiinnddeexx " <= only one letter instead of two

aspects of physics: c/d?

to me it's more the live experience (saw them at a legendary gig with crash worship), maybe the only time Tim Ellison, vah1d and I were ever in the same room together? i think we talked about it on the rob crow thread on noize. let me search it.

ya i almost posted it to an 'ask vah1d' thread but wasn't sure if he still reads ilx

okay i just googled and your talking about a somewhat recent incarnation of the band of which I have zero experience with. hmm.

what band did u think i was talking about??

physics
