sistawendy | reviews: J4CK17 and Po Dog

But first: I'm typing at you from a Windows 7 machine. I upgraded from Vista, so I didn't need a clean install. It all went pretty smoothly; no data loss this time. The installer told me to uninstall a couple of McAffee features and deauthorize my computer for iTunes. (Apple wouldn't let me do the latter. Uh oh, they're getting to be more hassle than Microsoft.) After that, ninety minutes of crunching later it was done. IE8, VPN access, and switching users are noticeably faster.

Went to the new monthly called J4CK17 at Re-bar last night. OK, I was pleased to see the best female (including lesbian & trans?!) eye candy I've ever seen at Re-bar, but believe it or not I was there for the music. Must not fall for tall, blond, friendly, old-school chick J who I keep running into at techno things.

Travis Baron did the more fun & up tempo end of capital-T Techno. He has a predilection for breaks of tai chi music, but I can overlook that. Trench is all about the housified retro (even 1930s) sounds, and I loved it! Hi Octane started out with some of the less fun Aphex Twin, which is what drove me to leave for...

...the new yuppie hot dog joint Po Dog above our dear Mercury at 1009 E Union. $5.43 including tax gets you the large, kosher basic dog. I didn't even look at their more frightening fat delivery devices, but yes,

domichan, they have veggie dogs. Their shtik: brioche buns. Rather tasty. Crowd? Strangely enough, it hadn't yet been overwhelmed by People in Black, but as you'd expect plenty of hipsters go out for hot dogs at 1:00 A.M. Nice decor.
