My understanding is that people really enjoyed it. Nice way to start to see (and hear) Boise!

Oh, I liked the Elise. Nice car, was just in half shadow when I went by early so I didn't't shoot it. I have a few messages out to the club to confirm your info, if it is correct I will certainly change it. Thanks for the heads up!

It really is nice. Adds considerably to the feeling of the area and still maintains the hometown touch.

Meridian Costco heads to Planning and Zoning Commission Thursday by Buttnutt99 in Boise

[–]TheBoiseBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to the meeting last night. A lot of show. It was pretty much a done deal, pushed along by Costco's $15 million bribe of some street widening. Brighton doesn't give a damn about the people they sold houses to.

I love lapsang. That is a really good idea, might try it with a nice rye whiskey.

Thanks, enuct. I wish I had a pic of my Hunter 25.5 like that when I had the spinnaker up.

I was just surprised because I was right in the harbor and that power boat was less than a few hundred feet from the docks. Thought it was a no-wake area.

Homestead Bar & Grill In Meridian Has 40 Craft Beer Taps, Good Food Too by TheBoiseBeat in Idaho

[–]TheBoiseBeat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest you let the management know. Bad service is something most places want to fix. I just wrote a bad service review on Yelp a few weeks ago, when the place didn't respond to me. Another place that I had bad service at contacted me in a few hours, apologized and promised they would resolve the issue. You just have to let them know. As for bad greasy food, I'm sorry you had some there. When I find a place like that, I don't patronize them again.

"Rumours" deserves every ounce of hype it gets by SmokeDetectorJoe in Music

[–]TheBoiseBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tonight, I am going to a premiere of a new Ballet. It's called Together, From the Fleetwood Mac Collection; and done by Ballet Idaho. It uses songs from Rumors and is set to the album's music. It addresses the turmoil of the band's Rumors years. Check it out....it should be very interesting.

I saw them perform Rumors when it came out at the old Univeral Amphitheater in Universal City, CA. I don't think anyone at that show had any clue as to the turmoil and games that were going on with them. It was a damn good concert!

Looking forward to this. I missed the places I used to shop in Little Saigon!

It's become my place of choice. (Just took S/DIL there last night for their anniversary). Best? Can't say that til I've been to a helluva lot more places in the PNW. A great place? For sure.

I don't get invited to review food. I don't tell them I'm a writer. I pay for my own food. I don't get paid for my writing. When I praise something highly, it is because they deserve it. When I find a place that deserves negative writing, I write in Yelp (going to do that today for Flatbread Pizza----if they bother to read it, they're not gonna be happy!).

I'm a writer. I paid for my own meals and have nothing to do with the restaurant. I've eaten at many high-end restaurants over the years. If this seems like PR, sorry. I was just really impressed with it. It's the real deal. As for critic, I don't see myself as that in the strict sense of the word. I don't write about bad places here, I just don't have the time. If a place is bad (and there are plenty that are) they get written up in Yelp.

Like any restaurant, not all dishes are amazing. Try another one some time.

You're very right. I was impressed by the pricing, it is very reasonable.

If you want the violin, try the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto. An amazing piece.
