I got a lot of thoughts in my head today and no place to put them in an semi-organized manner so I’ll do it here in all its rambling goriness. Lucky you…and I’m sorry.
I didn’t know that Lounge 217 in Santa Monica has closed its doors after 13 years. Dre said she heard Tiki Ti closed down, too, but I think that was just one of their fishing days….
Where can I get a smoothie before work since Papa’s Porch lied about its morning hours? 7am? Bah! I’m sooo addicted to its Tropical Bliss smoothie, it’s crazy good. I can’t find anything like it anywhere else. I’m not crazy about Jamba Juice, and Cafe Zella and Tully’s use tea in their smoothies and a smoothie mix….
That Chuck Norris Facts Web site is HI-larious, must get T-shirt of “When Chuck Norris works out, the machine gets stronger.” Would be perfect for the gym….
3:10 to Yuma got great preview reviews on RottenTomatoes.com. Mmm, Christian Bale. Too bad the Q&A with the director at the ArcLight on September 4 is sold out. So fast! How did everyone know about it? Those things usually sell out right away…
Love that Sanoodi Web site. Now I can keep track of all my hikes and running routes. Here’s to a fitter, happier Caroline…
I have no desire whatsoever to check out that new sports bar, The Parlor, that took over the Cinch space. I walked past it the other day and saw they had a happy hour, but nope, did nothing to entice me in. Isn’t Trishelle from Real World, Las Vegas part owner?…
(Laughter in the background) I really hate that girl’s laugh. She sounds like she thinks she’s sooo cute. Whatev.
the flow is exquisite. loving you caroline.
aloha…cw
heh, thanks!
Are those Gucci frames?
Yep!

My friends and I celebrated the closing of Voda last night too. Bartender says they haven’t given them a firm date, but could be as early as Labor Day. Sad to see both 217 and Voda gone, especially the latter. Best martinis on the Westside.
You won’t like the food at Parlor, it’s pretty bad. However, that place has three different sides: A great sports bar happy hour crowd on weekend days and weekday nights, a wild YOUNG hip crowd on Fri/Sat nights, and a strange yet fun Piano Bar crowd on Sunday nights with a great pianist and drunken sing-a-longs. Give it a try, it’s not always great, but can be fun. Still no replacement for Montana Lounge… I hope Hidden is the new Montana….
Wow! Where to drink in Santa Monica now? Hm. I wonder if that area doesn’t get a good nightlife crowd since Gotham Hall, Lounge 217 and Voda are gone and going.
I’ll have to think on Parlor.
That’s sad. I thought Voda had a winning formula.
