Kristoffer Ragnstam at Mojito, SF
After a great Chinese dinner at Brandy Ho's on Columbus, we decided it would be a good idea to go out for a late-night drink in North Beach, which is where the SRO hotel we're staying in is located. Decided to wander a bit off the beaten path that is Columbus and Broadway, and walk up Grant Avenue instead. There were two inviting bars directly across the street from each other. A little gang of fratboys was out in the street too, deciding which bar to go in -- so we waited for them to pick one, and went in the other one.
This was fortunate, because the bar we chose was Mojito which turned out to be a good find. One of the chairs at the bar's tables was occupied by a cat that looked just like Alley. And the cat was looking at a rubber rat that belonged to a woman at the bar. You've got to like a bar that draws cats and people with rubber rats.
And then we also got to see the doods playing in the picture here. Never heard of them before (they're from Sweden), but they're really good -- good enough for me to spontaneously purchase their CD, which doesn't happen too often. If you're interested in knowing more, Google them -- they've got a Myspace. They'll be playing at the Knitting Factory in NYC in a couple of days, and, according to their agent, "in DC -- at the Fire House on Diagonal Avenue." Huh? Never heard of it, but it turns out it's in Gaithersburg, technically not DC. MIght be worth a trip up 270 to see them, though.
