	Geeez, that was wholly inappropriate for this newsgroup.  'Faggots' are
not trying to imitate women.  'Faggots' are not trying to entrap heterosexual
men.  'Faggots' are not all doomed to lead a solitary, masturbation-rich,
life.  I'm not trying to justify anything to you, but I would appreciate it
if you would keep the inappropriate comments off of this newsgroup.
Thanks.

No alto in the above mentioned group.
I believe Mike is talking about MUCH more mediocre - the group
was Captain Pink and the High C's.  Four singers.  EVERYTHING was
sequenced except the bass player (Captain Pink).  If everything at
Maxi and Jakes is that lame, I'm never going back.

This wasn't the group with Horace Young on alto, was it? I've been
wondering what his group sounded like, because I heard he had been in
Abdullah Ibrahim's Ekaya. Anybody seen/heard him?

> >Paradox
>    Go here.  Often.

Well, if they'd start being a little more adventurous... The only thing
that's ever really caught my eye there was the recent Oliver Lake with
Dennis Gonzalez Quartet gig that SumArts sponsored. Lanny (Steele of
SumArts) had to beg them to let him have the venue, and this was for
already-paid-for OLIVER LAKE. Jesus. And the club was packed. I'm hoping
they learned a lesson from it.

> >Rockefeller's

(Price to match as in HIGH, in case anybody needs clarification). Again,
extremely mainstream &/or commercial, for the most part. But don't miss
John Scofield when he comes in mid-September. Should be a wonderful show,
especially if he brings Joe Lovano... I'll try to get tickets for KTRU to
give away. (An additional good reason to listen to the Jazz Show the next
few Sundays!)

No, he definitely wasn't there.  Now, the guy from Queer Nation who did the
(really hilarious) performance art piece looked a lot like him, but his
voice didn't have that characteristic annoying nasal qualtiy of Jello's.

So can someone explain the difference between sushi and sashimi?
I got a vague impression somewhere that "sushi" really refers to
"little bits of food wrapped with rice and seaweed" not "raw fish"
and that "sashimi" is what really means "raw fish" specifically.
But everyone I know says no, sushi is raw fish and sashimi must
refer to a specific method of preparing raw fish.

I have just looked in the dictionary and it says that "sushi" is
raw fish OR seaweed wrapped around rice, and that "sashimi" is
thinly sliced raw fish.  But dictionary definitions never really
tell the whole story.

What I want to know is, if I slice zucchini and carrots and wrap them
with flavored sticky rice in sushi nori, is it sushi or not?  ;-)

The new one does have a bar, but the place is so big that you can
easily be seated at a table where you can't see it.  The Miyako on
Kirby also has what I call a "semi-tatami" room.  It is a platform with
tatami mats on it and what at first look like the appropriate low
tables.  Then you discover that they are normal height tables put into
"pits" in the platform.  This also allows us unlimber gaijin to sit
western style on the mats, but look like we are sitting at a
traditional table.

Oh, while Miyako carries several Japanese beers, Kirin, Asahi, and
Sapporo, the *smallest* bottle you can order is 16 oz. (well, it's ml
equivalent).  The Kirin only comes in a ~20 oz bottle.  If you are a
lightweight, order American beer, or split the Japanese ones. (Shame
on all of you who thought "Well, just don't drink all of the Japanese
beer!")

Nippon on Montrose has good sushi; they have relatively inexpensive 
lunch specials (box lunches w/3-4 different kinds of sushi), and they 
usually run a ``happy hour'' of sorts where you can get sushi for 99 cents 
a piece.

Miyako at Kirby & 59 is supposedly quite good; they do a booming business, 
from all indications, and I haven't eaten there, but several friends that 
have recommended it highly.

I would never consider drinking anything alcoholic at Miyako other
than the "sake bomb".  This is a non-full, relatively small, glass of
beer (Sapporo, I think) into which a nice warm shot glass of sake is
dropped.  Best of all, it's a happy hour drink _and_ a dexterity test!
The shot glass fits fairly tightly into the beer glass and thus
usually makes a pretty fair splash going under.  Back when Kathy and I
used to go to the Village incarnation pretty regularly, our waitresses
usually dropped them for us, but when we stopped them in time to drop
them ourselves, the contest was to see who could make no splash.  The
ultimate feat was floating the shot glass so that its edge was held
level with the surface of the beer, then gently tapping it to send it
under.  Successful completion of this stunt earned one the coveted
Gold Star for Surface Tension.

Thank you for your patience with this reminiscence.  (-:

Dumpling King on Westheimer has OK dumplings, but I can't really
recommend the place overall.  Their entrees left something to be

	Can't agree more. Nippon is very quiet and nice, and has a good 
	lunch menu. They also have some varieties of sushi in their lunch
	specials. If you are keen on raw fish, sashimi is served there too.
	Our usual routine though, is have a very good lunch at Nippon, then,
	walk to Marble Slabs a few doors down, and stuff ourselves with
	some of the most fatastic ice cream :)
