OK, so Saturday night consisted of going to see Uriah play at Shanghai 1930. It's a bit of a well-to-do place near the Ferry Building. Afterwards I went with his crew to Mission Rock for in China Basin. Seemed to be mostly the off-duty stripper crowd and the people who love them.
Sunday I hit Thai Brunch just before the vegetarian dishes ran out (nick of time I tell you). If you've never been to Thai Brunch check it out sometime. It's an outdoor brunch every Sunday at the Berkeley Thai Community Center. One block North of the Ashby BART station on Russell Street. Sometimes they have traditional Thai music and dance performances, and they always have tons of authentic traditional Thai food, but try to get there before 1pm when things start to run out.
Afterwards I hit Mission Rex for a punk show my bio-bro Marcus told me about. It was a great show, absolutely packed and lots of energy. I need to get to more punk shows, although I'm feeling a bit too old and fragile to survive the mosh pit, it's great to see people becoming involved with a show after years of indie rock posers doing the Chapel Hill nod dance.
