Yeah, laughing too hard and the saki bombs are probably the worst of it (and again, we ask and clean up after ourselves). We also smoke out back with the kitchen staff.

Heh. I have no sound card here at work, and somehow I just knew...

Sound muted here, myself...

We've seen John Cusack and Leonard Roberts (though not together) at our place, although mostly we're too heads down to notice. John Cusack looked startlingly awful. Not a reality to which I needed to be exposed.

I'd trade them both in a heartbeat for George Clooney, even though I'm always coming straight from krav and dressed the part.

I'm quick with the mute button on the keyboard, so it's usually only a brief distraction. But still -- you click on a restaurant link, and you just know that there's a far greater than average chance that there will be sound, and a flash page that takes way too long, with either no skip intro link or a skip intro link that doesn't appear until after the stupid intro, and then pretty much the same stuff inside (dark background, swellegant low-light mood photos, menu, directions, "about" page with rambly ghost-written stuff...) It's kinda funny, as long as I remember to mute.

Agreed that all the sushi talk is making me hungry. But going out for sushi now would seriously frell up D's sleep routine and nobody in this neighborhood delivers...

There should be little sushi carts that wander through the neighborhood as the evening cools, with their tingaling little bell and the cries of "Unagi! Sashimi!"

You'd eat sushi from a NYC street cart? Brave man!

I'm finally learning how to shop on the Internet. I went to the online site for the Avenue, found the styles and colors I wanted, called the local stores to see if they were available (they had them for $3 cheaper but no colors I wanted), so I went with the online purchase. I did manage to find a 20% coupon by googling "Avenue coupon", so I saved almost $10 on four shirts--after priority shipping so they'll be here by this weekend, I still only paid $56 for them. Not too shabby!

Yeah, maybe just in Japantown.

There used to be a bar that had a sushi chef come in on Sunday afternoons and everybody loved it. Beer and sushi.

Kathy, if you get on the Avenue mailing list, they will send you coupons *incessantly*.

I have never seen anyone famous at our local places, only the 'Vine, and there it seems so startlingly random everybody kinda forgets who they are. With the exception of Fred Schneider because I loves him forever.
