bleu boheme open

chowhound says it opened over the weekend, and there's a review up on yelp. i really like what they did with the old green tomato space, especially the revamped outdoor seating and the metal sheeting on the front of the building. hopefully we'll get over there soon, but it's a busy weekend with friends in town, the maximo park show at the casbah, and dinner at starlight lounge before the show. then we're off thursday to vancouver for the fireworks competition and pride there, and to just enjoy how awesome the city is.

last weekend was busy too, with san diego pride and a friend's wedding. the parade on saturday was fun, it had been a few years since i went. we were on 6th when it wrapped up, so we went to the nearby tractor room for lunch, which unfortunately was mostly brunch... but the burger is always good there. and the tractor room bloody mary i had was perfect. first time i'd eaten inside there and it's fun to see the happening bar scene, and get the true hunting lodge vibe. our friend david knows the owner from way back, and he said they're opening new hash house restaurants in kansas city and dallas. i'm sure they'll love the huge portions there.

on sunday we went to the festival since jay wanted to see erasure. not my kind of music but a fair deal since he's going to maximo park with me. after the festival closed down we walked down the streeet to modus for some excellent cocktails, good food and middling service. it was a sunday though...
