(no subject)

Interesting things I haven't talked about:

Restaurants:

David and I could not resist Pharaonic Restaurant Anubis Amsterdam, which actually had a "beer and bread" appetizer.

Kitsch: Amaaaazingly tasty food that made me want to grow up to be a restaurant critic. Plus, dark maroon fake alligator wallpaper, creepy-ass barbies nailed to the bathroom doors, and holes in the floor so you can watch the kitchen!

Zento sushi bar: They had already won me over with the sexy translucent business card, and the rotating sushi-o-matic lounge style was just too much.

Academie: a squat indie movie house with dinner some nights. Hoping to go tomorrow.

Misc:

Sadly, the Fenomeen sauna -- also in a fabulous art-collective squat house, down the street from the Academie -- is closed until mid-August, so I couldn't go to their women's night. Damn!

While I'm on the subject of squats, I stopped by occii, an ex-squat near Fenomeen. The music tonight looked a bit hardcore for me, but the place itself seemed really keen.

Drag King workshop at the unbearably cheesily-named Ladyfest this Friday.
