The Verdugo (Trivia Night), Hermosillo

I was hoping to bump into Lisette. Unbeknownst to me it was Trivia Night at the Verdugo. Great, I thought I love trivia. The bad part is I came in late and they were more than half way into it and what made it worse was almost all guys were playing. I consoled myself by drinking heavily.

Art of Darkenss - a stout (I believe)
How many Blade Runner film release have there been? Seven.

Hopocalypse

Pliny the Elder
What rock star played a porn star in David Lynch's film "Lost Highway"? Marilyn Manson. Sidenote: Henry Rollins also a punk rock star played a prison guard in "Lost Highway". Who was the last female contestant winner in American Idol?  Jordan Sparks.

Norwal stout by Sierra Nevada. Sweet, malty, flowery and bitter (hopsy).


On the Sunset Strip, the night club known as the Avalon was formerly known as this musical venue? The Palace.

I was being checked out by a girl who happened to walk in, but she was here for what was her first date with some guy.  Apparently, he was trying to impress her with how special the Pliny the Younger is. I agreed it was special and I told Fausto's story. The guy bought the girl a take gift of Pliny the Elder which cost $9.00.

I left and headed for the Hermosillo.

Noble Rot. Saison. Good aromatics and hopsy.
For a Tuesday, the Hermosillo had a good crowd. Three other people I recognize from the Verdugo walked in.  Stefan, Daniel, and Iolene. They tried to get into the York, but they were denied entry because they were too drunk. I was getting too far gone myself and decided I should call it a night. Stefan, Daniel and Iolene said they were going to La Cuevita. Good luck. I really thought they were too drunk to get there. The bartender confirmed it for me when he asked, "Do you know those three people? They left their credit card behind." I ran out the door and called Iolene's name and told her she forgot her credit card. She hurried back to the bar to collect it.
miso soup, tamago, and sunomono
 I decided to sober up at my favorite Japanese eatery, Suehiro. I got in to the place at 12:12 am and I pretty much closed down the place.

Koika, and sukiyaki. Drop the raw tamago into the sukiyaki and let the tamago cook in  the broth.
