Today’s Stream of Consciousness
Posted by Caroline on Crack under Los Angeles, Nightlife, Dining, Recreation -
I love Mondays off. Yesterday I actually got to watch a soap opera for the first time in 14 years. It’s good to know that I’m not really missing anything there. Anyhow, here’s my post vacation state of mind.
Cool-sounding upcoming “food” events: the beer tasting at Surfas on 2/20, a chocolate and wine tasting at 3 on Fourth on 2/26 and CITY Night at Cuidad on 2/29 where the Two Tamales resurrect the 1981 menu from their first restaurant.
I don’t know why I’m kinda sad that Forty Deuce is closing even though I’ve only checked out the burlesque show a couple of times in six years. Ah, Carolina, Carolina. I wonder how the downtown version is going to be different. If anything, a night of whiskey (ahem, Seven Grand) and burlesque sounds like a fun girls’ night out or even a date night.
Which is better? The iPhone or the BlackJack II? I need a new phone but am torn between the two. I’m currently trying out the BlackJack II and love its qwerty keyboard but am not too crazy about its sucky Internet browsing incapability. Any suggestions/recommendations? Is the iPhone all hype?
There’s going to be a total lunar eclipse tomorrow at 7:01pm. Apparently a bunch of Yelpers will be meeting at Griffith Observatory for the celestial show and afterwards they’re going to the Blue Goose Lounge. Fun! Just hope it doesn’t rain.
I’m so buying this tank top.

I traded my Blackberry Pearl for an iPhone and couldn’t be happier. I really, really, really hate to be a part of the iPhone crowd, but it seriously is the best cell phone evah … But wait until the 3G ones are released in a month or so; you’ll save money and get a better piece of hardware.

I thought the 3G iPhone wasn’t coming out till the end of the year. Also, I just read this thing about how to get 3G on your iPhone and Touch: http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/35948/145/

I heard somewhere they might be moving the Forty Deuce downtown. I just went there for the first time Friday after I found your review of it online. Cant believe I have passed that place so many times and didnt know how good of a show they put on!
Oh and as for the iphone I agree with dvg on waiting. When it comes to anything from Apple never get the first version, wait!

I’m having the same phone problem too! The iPhone is cooler than words, and since I’m a PowerBooker to begin with, I figure it’ll be an easy transition. But $400 for a phone…. eek. And the new generation iPhone isn’t scheduled to come out until the fall, I hear…
