We went to wasabis last night and they served this tea that was so intriguing. I think i drank about 10 of those little cups of it. Literally, we were there for a while...
Anyway - it tasted like sesame. Like if you were to cook water, it might taste like this. Of course I didn't think to ask, and I probably wouldn't have understood her anyways.
Discussion said that it could have been toasted rice tea. Or just sesame oil in hot water. Any thoughts?
oh and PS you all missed a bitchin battle. Well except (e:heidi), who had a damn good time. I think.
Also we went to Ohm lounge and it seemed to be 'hip hop night' or more specifically.... grown and sexy night.
good times except for the rats runnin around on the patio.

restaurant/cafe/whatever?I need some help finding a place to meet up with some coworkers.
I'm looking for a place with an abundance of finger/appetizer food that isn't all greasy, and includes vegetarian options.
The place needs to be comfortable. Ideally it would be like the couch area at spot coffee. But spot coffee doesn't have big soft chairs. or any degree of privacy whatsoever.
We would like to hang out for hours. And chat. Wine would be nice.
A couple of thoughts had occurred to me. There is an Ethiopian restaurant in Toronto that includes a) sitting on floor and b) eating with hands. but its also c) in Toronto and d) spicy food.
There is also the melting pot - which would be great except for the price tag that I believe is attached to it.
So. That all being said. Any thoughts?

How about Cafe 59 at 59 Allen Street? It has highly customizable food, lots of coffee options, tea, comfy seating - it looks like there's a couch & a couple of wing chairs in a back corner. The place is big enough that if you camp out for several hours no one will mind. Internet access, too. :::link::: Ask them if you can bring your own wine?

3coworkers.... they are actually friends, so this is less about work and more about a big ol bitchfest.
Sahara grill... what is the comfort level there?
I think that home is usually the best place for this, but in this instance, none of our homes are really adequate.
spot does have couches, but lacks seriously on the food list.
we need to rent somebodys home. And a chef. lol

I thought the spot on Delaware had a side section with couches but not sure it has been some time. Not sure where to suggest really.

SOLSTICE!not much of an update, but here we go...
I'm working on a documentary right now, and the details are rather vague and I won't dull your sunday morning minds with them... Lets just say its about community activism in buffalo...
I am looking for some music from local bands for the background. I'm interested in all kinds of music, I just need some music on a cd and your permission to use it in a little indie documentary.
anyone know of anyone?
i'm so stressed out that my shoulders/neck hurt. I think its all getting better slowly...
The neigbor guys are starting to boot cars that are not residents. Its kind of funny actually. There was apparently an incident the other night with an absolutely wasted girl throwing money at travis and screaming about her mercedes. damn i wish i saw that.
Ok off to work. Then a solstice party.

I would suggest sending an (e:mail) to tony aka (e:enknot) (not sure if he is in a band currently) But he was in one and knows some bands so maybe he could help. You might want to connect with Good Charmel records (Buffalo label run by Robby of the Goo Goo dolls). I'm not really much help I don't think, my cousin is in a hip hop band called Constant Climax I only know him if send me your info I could send it to the band through myspace or you could even look them up on myspace. Two Buffalo bands that I have on myspace that come to mind quickly are Stemm and As Summer Dies but don't know them personaly. Not sure as I helped any but maybe it will help.

How about Paul C. Kozlowski a.k.a Johnny Depp? :::link:::
I wrote about him here: (e:tinypliny,44934). He works at Chow Chocolat, Main Street and you can always walk in and start a conversation to see if he might be willing to lend your documentary his music.

update from discordiaTHank you Heidi for fixing my computer! it runs soooo fast!
Went to a redneck weddin last weekend. the centerpiece on the tables were actually empty jack daniel bottles. The weddin party rolled in on ATVs with a big sign on the back 'gettin hitched'
then there was the drunken sledding/racing down the sledding hill in the rain. that could have been sooooo bad but it wasn't.
all in all a good time.
time to get back to work...

You're very welcome. It would run faster if it had more RAM. :-)
It was great to meet you & (e:Lauren)! Give Ralphie a scratch for me.

I think I have had a green japanese loose leaf tea that tasted like sesame as well. Didn't have toasted rice in it. I didn't know people put toasted rice in tea.
