7 57 pm pdt   [ etched in my mind ]

I had a magnificent evening last night. Charles (of amaebi.org) picked me up for dinner at 7. I knew he was going to say he wanted Japanese food, so I checked on the location of one of my favorite places in Santa Monica, but Chalres suggested a place in Venice, and we headed off to Hama. The conversation was flowing between us and I knew the evening would be a good one. Hama is quite the nightspot, and as we stuffed ourselves, the noise level raised above what I could hear through. Charles and I screamed at each other that we should head somewhere quieter.

Charles was the one who suggested Bob Burns. I was already so contented before we sat down, but the amusing ambiance and the incredible music of Howlett Smith let me know that this evening would remain etched in my mind forever. You haven't lived until you've heard An Ugly Woman Told Me No and Chitlins in the White House performed live. I know I've found a new haunt to frequent...
