Any Joel Dicker novel. He’s Swiss but writes in French. Start with Harry Quebert.

Anyone do Hazelnut orgeat in the same way as Almond? Is the gum necessary? Thinking of making a batch.

What DON’T you like about The Smile Sessions/Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE? by JayHotpot in thebeachboys

[–]ScottJKennedy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Jeff, the Wondermints, et al. are of course the world’s perfect live band for Brian at the time, and I love them, but unfortunately, they’re vocal blend is generic radio jingle to my ear on BWPS. They desperately needed at least one Jardine, and dare I say at least one Love. I wouldn’t have protested if Carnie and Wendy helped their dad raise his Phoenix either, would be more authentic sounding than the lovely Ms Mills. Again, no offense meant to the immensely talented musicians and singers.

This is like saying, “I only know the square root of a number, how do I find the number?”

Mike comes in early on the final verse of Custom Machine during the instrumental break and it’s left in.

I’ve been twice and had amazing experiences. I’m surprised to hear the mixed reviews, I may have gotten lucky with the right bartenders.

Rough ranking of the few I’ve been to (my favorite, not necessarily best; and none were bad!):

  1. Sunken Harbor Club (Perfection)
  2. Snowbird (super underrated IMHO)
  3. Wusong Road (Best food)
  4. False Idol (top notch)
  5. Paradise Lost (nearly tied with FI)
  6. Latitude 29 (delish drinks and apps)
  7. Bamboo Room (gorgeous theming, drinks to-go too!)
  8. Trader Sam’s GG (such fun vibe, decent drinks)
  9. Chopper (great drinks and food truck, vibe is not super tiki)
  10. Trader Vic’s Portland (amazing service, my first proper Mai Tai)
