Ichi Sushi to Expand Across the Street with Ni Bar

I’ve never heard of this place, but I want to check out these new Japanese tapas places that are popping up in the city. I went to Gochi Japanese Fusion Tapas several years ago and have been wanting to go back since, but Cupertino is a bit out of reach. Anyways, I had a sushi style burrito today from Wrap N Roll in Sacramento, and I just don’t get it. You can hardly taste the fish with all the other fillings which is why I avoid rolls altogether. Thumbs down.

SFist: Chances Now Higher That This Will Be a Severe El Niño Year
What does an El Niño mean for Northern Calfornia? Tons of rain all day during the winter, everyday. Yay! It also means a much warmer summer and more Burning Man burnouts/hipsters at your favorite parks. Boo!

What DJs Do These Days…
This is pretty much the norm of what I’ve been seeing for the past couple years which is probably due to DJ equipment like Serrato making it far too easy for someone to mix a track and how the scene has gotten oversaturated in general. It’s probably why I get so bored with trance or what’s sometimes labeled electro-house (on Beatport) much of the time. This doesn’t apply to all EDM DJs since I hear Flux Pavilion, Hardwell, and Knife Party cycle through a bunch of tracks.
Still the 2 EDM DJs who I haven’t seen in a long time and impressed me the most are Derrick Carter and Bad Boy Bill. Derrick Carter would create a bunch of sounds like spin 2 of the same tracks with 1 being a half beat behind then flipping the crossfader back and forth to create an echo effect amongst other things he did while Bad Boy Bill was a former battle DMC DJ. Naturally the peak of DJ skill is with battle DJ whether through scratching, beat juggling, or other techniques that don’t quite lend themselves to EDM music. But it’s easy to tell who’s being lazy behind the tables without even actually watching them too. Funny video.

LAist: Dim Sum Carts GO Gourmet
When something goes big, others will emulate it. A friend of mine wants to have the owners of StateBird do a private dinner service. It’s $6k for 20 people in case people are wondering.

DiscoCoffeeTable

Craigslist: Booger Sugar Coffee Table
It almost feels like I can do a line right off my monitor. Fuck! In case, it gets flagged:
“I’m 40 and I can’t keep up with my disco coffee table anymore. I’ve aged, the table craves the unbridled power of youth. It keeps asking me to snort mounds of white powder off its mirrored surface, but my hangovers last too long. It wants a twenty something who can go on a Tuesday bender and still work the next day. It wants to reflect a parade of young, naked strangers in impossible positions night after night. My libido has faded and I crave a good night of sleep more than another one night stand. The table has a couple missing chunks of mirror. My decorator insists I’m too well heeled to own such college like furniture and made me buy something from Restoration Hardware.

Disco Table needs a new home. A home where the party doesn’t stop. A home where the neighbors are annoyed. A home where debauchery and bad decisions are the norm. A home where straws are cut short and a grinder is always on hand just in case. I need to know Disco Table will be passed on to somebody who thinks cardio means: the way a heart races after your medical insurance card is used to cut lines.

Let me know if you think you would be the right kind of owner for Disco Table. Dimensions: 66x36x17.

$20 if you pick him up. $50 and I’ll bring him to you and help you put him in your living room.”
