Randomly rode to Surly tonight for some exercise and an excuse for some exercise.  Holiday weekend Friday and it was the least amount of people I have seen there yet, which is to say it was half full.  Upstairs was closed except for that space they plan to make into a restaurant...  lo and behold it was the opening night of that restaurant.  I didn't eat because I went late and by the time I stepped up there they were closing and I was riding shortly.  Received a thorough description of the menu from the cool man on the other side of the desk.  The bump is an app sampler not a shot.  The minimum whole table participation size is two.  Five courses skips fish and includes desert.  I could close my eyes and point.

Daikaiju @ Turf Club was awesome

Tonight I watched the second Dave Grohl Sonic Highways series in DC with Ian Mckaye.  It was going to be pretty hard to top Chicago with Steve Albini but it was pretty fucking close in the end.  These are great movies.  History for those who don't know and intimate scenes, tidbits and cool images for those who do.  I like Nirvana and I like Foo Fighters but I don't love either one.  I would say I like The Color and the Shape as much as Nevermind.  Great choice for the new album to record each track in a different studio in a different city in order to film the documentaries and tell the stories of the histories of the local music scenes.  He has the cred to call these guys on the phone to come hang out.  I only like his music but I love Dave Grohl.
