Because books.

Oh man, sign me up.

the bar menu must be awesome! "I'm sloppy," "I'm depressed," "I'm in denial."

Our wings are not tired.

Here's the Cafe Gratitude menu.

The menu does look tasty, but I would have to order on line or something because I couldn't bring myself to order "I am pure" out loud under any circumstances.

Indeed the Buffista alternative would surely thrive right across the street from Cafe Gratitude.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I would like to eat at the Fight Club version of that today. I am Jack's complete inability to do housework sounds about right for lunch.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'll have the querulous, hold the toast.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The other totally weird chain of vegan restaurants is Loving Hut. Those ones are all over the world, and run by the Supreme Master people. No weird ordering rules, and the food is generally pretty good (they're franchised, and each one can decide on their own menu, though it's usually mostly Vietnamese food with a few local things mixed in -- crepes at the ones in France, burgers at the ones in the US, and so on), but you're surrounded by screens broadcasting Supreme Master propaganda, with subtitles in about five different languages. All stuff about how the world is going to end if we don't all love the earth, become vegan, and listen to the Supreme Master.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Was someone in here talking about 1776 at ACT? John Adams is being played by an old friend of mine, John Hickok.

The status is NOT quo.

Hil, my friend C has done the sound design for both of the Supreme Master's TV specials the past couple of years. Hilarious. They are crazy, but very, very nice. Also excellent vegan food.

C has gotten personal notes of thanks from the SM each year. And a Christmas present, which none of us can figure out.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

John Adams is being played by an old friend of mine, John Hickok.

Scrappy, he was excellent! It was a really good performance: great cast, excellent voices, good timing, nice costuming. Really nicely done. And Rutledge's solo about the Triangle Trade was a tour-de-force. Just a really good production, although it does bog down at a few points when it's all just political wrangling.

My dad really enjoyed it, and then we took him to John's Grill for dinner, where we had steaks and seafood and we got to see The Maltese Falcon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am currently get baleful looks from Charlie because his bed is not where it should be, but instead is in the washing machine, because I spilled diet dr pepper all over it.

I think I may go back to bed.
