Trippin': Dillon - Dam Brewery

100 Little Dam Street
Dillon, CO 80435

If you're ever in Keystone, a restaurant worth checking out is the Dam Brewery in Dillon, a short drive from Keystone. Seriously, most people in Houston have a longer commute to work. There's a large beer selection that big poppa and buddha sampled from. This place wasn't amazingly great but compared to the restaurants that Keystone had to offer, it was pretty refreshing. Big poppa and buddha both liked their prime rib, I think mochi enjoyed her burger, and my shrimp sistar seemed like she enjoyed her Asian spinach salad. I guess she only likes her guys white. Hah! I had the chicken fried chicken which was really good. Unfortunately, I get really gassy and bloated at high altitudes so it made eating kinda difficult. There just wasn't any room! But I would mos def order the chicken fried chicken again. Oh. But don't order the mac n cheese. That was not so good.

Trippin': New York City - Radio City Music Hall

1260 Avenue of the Americas
Manhattan, New York, New York 10020

We didn't really go inside Radio City Music Hall. But if you're in the vicinity, why not walk the few blocks to see it in real life! I'm quite the uber tourist. Looking at the fotos, I feel like I was hired to photohraph flowerchild and voodoo's vacay. Big poppa isn't even featured in this set at all! Shocker!

Musik Mundi: Au Revoir Simone

The eight to five has been bonkers lately. Just bone breaking busy. And to top it off, my immune system has been tested these last couple of days and the result has been a major mucus back-up at every passageway. But to get some musik up, here's an Au Revoir Simone song from their last album. It's not one of my faves, but when I listen to it on my iPod, I tend to repeat the track for a second listen. One thing's for sure, we need more awesome all female bands!

Trippin': New York City - Noodle Town

28 Bowery
New York, NY 10013

It's pretty impossible for me to go several days without consuming some sort of Asian food. One morning, we headed out to Chinatown to eat some hearty Cantonese food at Noodle Town. It was okay. Nothing overwhelmingly special about it. We had a Chinese BBQ medley of roast pork, roast duck and charsiu, some snow pea leaves in lots of garlic, wonton egg noodle soup, fried rice and clams. The most interesting dish was mos def the plate of duck tongues that my FOB friend gau insisted on ordering. I tasted one and it was just really cartilagey and crunchy. Not my cup of tea. But we all had a lot of fun with it.
