Final Friday March edition

It was way colder than I thought it'd be. We started out at Nicholas Gallery which has sort of become our custom, it was packed.
There's never enough time to hit every gallery we want, the Kraft House is another favorite of mine that I never miss, they always have something interesting.

sweet sixteen

I remember when I was young and knew everything.
You can never get that back can you? back when everything was brand new, and no one else had ever seen or experienced quite like you had, and it was all life or death.

My oldest niece is getting all grown up!
I remember when she was born, now she makes me feel so old watching her with her friends.
but she, and all my nieces and nephews give me a face splitting smile whenever I see them, which is never enough.

Park+Vine

Park+Vine in OTR has won four Citybeat Best of Cincinnati awards. Good one on ya Dan, OTR wouldn't be the same without you, keep up the good work.
a rare picture of Dan, he tends to avoid cameras it seems. Wow, I'm humping around an extra 10lbs in that pic, damn summer time and beer.

I have to say, I don't put much in those awards, I'm happy for Dan, but who makes this s#!t up?

  • Best Place to Read About Esoteric B Movies
  • Best Reason to Sit Up and Beg
  • Best Channeling of British Post-Punk Minimalists Wire
  • Best Fender-Bender in Funkytown

Really CityBeat? This is stuff you think people care about. Or was it too much Shanghai Mama's before bedtime?

last wedding pictures I swear

Big Mike got the wedding pictures in earlier this week, wow, they really are works of art. Bruce Johnson the photographer has transcended taking pictures and truly is an artist. If you live in the Northern half of Ohio and are getting married you would be doing yourself a disservice by not at least checking him out. Riverfront Photography would be a bargain at twice the price.

sneakers

After ordering a pair of sneakers online at Zappos.com I recieved an email confirmation stating they would ship Monday March 24. Imagine my surprise upon getting home Monday and finding these sitting inside the door! (thank you Towne Properties staff!) I wish Zappos.com could run the country, or at least Cincinnati. how awesome would that be?
So, for some reason I got on this kick last week, I haven't wore sneakers in probably 7 or 8 years. But I need to constantly re-invent myself and it never happens small, when the 5chw4r7z does something, it almost always involves the deep end. But here I am with these Dravens, I guess they appealed to my fascination with race cars and speed. Hey they are 100% vegan! That should impress one of my sister-in-laws and some OTR peeps, you know who you are, aye Dan? I don't know, but you'll see me coming when I'm kicking around downtown in these.

Lavomatic

We had a really relaxing time there Saturday night. It wasn't noisy but there was a low hum in the background of people talking, which was comforting and made me feel at home.
Lavo isnt dramatic in the way Twist is, but I don't think Lavo is trying to be Twist or any of Jean-Robert's other places, and it shouldn't.
And no surprise me at all that like downtown we ran into people we know, I think Lavo is going to turn into one of those really good places to hang out and catch up with friends.

river level

Another bright and Sunny but cool Sunday. The river is usually 67-68' below the bridge at pool level and here it is up over 50' from the bridge.
17-18' high.

Cincinnati Supper Club XIII

I've never had lamb before, I don't know why and have never really thought about it so I approached the Supper Club last night with a tiny bit of apprehension but I needn't have worried at all with someone who runs the blog winemedine(in Cincinnati) cooking. Thanks Julie, everything tasted fantastic, and looked just as good as it tasted. The condo was also incredible with dramatic downtown views.
All in all a very good night, for dinner and company.
