ELTON KRISTE THE FIRST: "Well...ahem...how do I start this......hmmm....review..?
Lots of waiting..even for the salad...goddamn it....and i had such an emotionaly turmoil-filled week...and i haven't even tasted the Krispy Kreme donuts that everyone is raving about..shit...i might not need one now....well....it was that long of a wait..it made me f**king crazy and you should have the seen the looks on all of us there......it was like being at a police station..jesus! I mean the salad took us aound an hour and half to get....what the f**k is that? My dad would have freaked out and thrown a fit if he was there.....and thank the holy entities for whatever transpired on both Sunday afternoon and Sunday night...and I haven't watched the X-Files for two months now and I gotta get that Lester Bang's book that came out.... so.... yeah and I
ordered a chicken broil,,, ok... not fish and I was kinda criticized for it by a few...but it took almost TWO FRICKING HOURS to get it...arghhhh..i was thinking Tony Montana in SCARFACE with the machinegun at the end being turned into Swiss Cheese... don't believe in rules so.....maybe that explains El Ron Hitler...yeah..okay.......so now it's time for ChrisLove or someone as healthy to tell their side of the story.....Love and Empathy, Elton Kriste The I."
YUKISTAR AND AUSGANG: "WE think that the kitchen ran out of vegetables because the portions were very small. Yukistar's Halibut was a very small fillet also. She expected more for 9 dollars. Ausgang felt that the price of the catfish could have been okay but the meat was overcooked. The service F**KING SUCKED and I don't understand how the management could have prepared so shittily for a large party. I give this place a 4 on a scale of 10 coz maybe it was just a bad night for them. I'll never go back. Vince had a very good boullabaise and It had a lot of lobster, clam, mussel, crab, salmon and halibut. He hated the lighting, Ausgang didn't care for the mural."
VINCE: "The owner has his hair painted black, the place is constantly under construction and it still needs a complete makeover. rip out the fluorescents and put some candles on the tables, the food is still good in my book."
MEIT/HUAS: "The place looked like they decorater has a fetish for 1970 poolside furniture from kmart eeeeek . The oysters I started off with were good the spinacodidas were very good. Also the bread served hot was very very good . Everybody ordered the clam chowder which was not bad but also not so good. And, I being the rebel, ordered the fish soup (still not the greatest but better than the clam chowder) funny though as the night progressed the food got weirder and worse. It started off as the the Sound of Music and progressed into the Cabinet of Dr Caligari the food went from good to not great to ABISMAL anyhow I had the calimary I was expecting lighter than air, slightly crispy calimary and what I got was overcooked horribly breaded chunks of these rubber bands I tried the spaggetti with maranera sauce (Who put the cinnamon in there? I hope someone made a mistake because if this was how they normally make this sauce, then it's ...SCARY Now I won't mention the few pieces of fish I tasted...heh...they weren't that bad but not that good, either. The last dish that I tried was the boulabaise. It was strange (I'll probably have nightmares for a week!) It had a bouquet of way too much salt saffaron and was so overpowering I kept thinking Something is gonna jump out of this murky goopy drool and bite me! VERY SCARY Someone else in the article gave this place a rating of 4 on a scale of 1 to 10. He was very generous. I will not rate this place...It's WAY UNDER two and the service... ..Well they tried hard! No here is the kicker--the guy who owned the place came out to play the piano like the evil scientist playing the pipe organ before he tortured his victims. Strangely enough, he asked Yukistar to Come out and play the piano for the restaurant. A possible job? Heh..I don't think so...VERY VERY SCARY...heh...."
CTHULHU: says that "the Greek seafood salad was fairly decent, with feta, kalamata olives, slices of avocado, chunks of snow crab and cooked shrimp in a vinnaigrette. Shortly after successful ingestion of this salad, however, my guts started to feel like they'd been filled with freshly-dug smoldering peat from some god-awful malodorous bog. You know... the kind filled with preserved corpses from the Iron Age. My intestines are burning even as I punch this out. Christ almighty, I think I'm going to get violently ill. Or at least clear the room. This place wasn't really so much mediocre; actually, it just plain sucked ass. The window bears the grade of "B" from the health department. It gets my grade of "D minus" in terms of edibility. The upright piano against the back wall was a nice addition, though. This spared them the dreaded "F". Congrats to the management on the absolute worst dining experience since I joined the SDC!"
ChrisLove's review: "Bibo is a God monster with intelligence. He has two big eyes, and he knows very well what people want to do. He cannot speak, but only 'Bi-Bo'. When there is any danger happened, he will speak. The top of his head will light up and his hip will make many colorful smoke to help him survive because this smoke is stinking. We love Bibo very much because he always survive by using some funny ways. We LIKE wacky garden-yard sale atmosphere and pretty pink neon lights. Good for taking many pictures, fun for everyone in Silverlake Dinner Club looking goooood in pink! Yum!"

Seth had to wait from 8:30 to 11:30 for his food. He was the last to get served, everyone had paid and was leaving. Look for upcoming pictures depicting his lonely famine. Basically they had advance warning for a party of 30--even confirmation the day of--and yet they were drastically under-staffed; and they ran out of food so the portions got smaller and smaller as the hours dripped by.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO IN COSTCO IS:

1. Subversively try on thong underwear in the aisles while wearing floor-length sale dresses and making aggressive eye-contact with anyone nearby.
2. Think of all the Burning Man supplies you need to get before August.
3. Hide in aisles and yell "EAT ME!" to passing children.
4. Pick up one of everything and have them "hold" it till the next day.
5. Insist that you need to try on dozens of tube socks until you find a pair that really "fits".
6. Bring in alien products like, say, a stuffed cushy animal filled with concrete and sneak it on the shelf then call management and complain about it.
7. Free the captives (or exploit slave laborers).
8. Engage in violent demolition derby with shopping carts fully-laden with #10 cans (This works better if you1re with accomplice).
9. Staple your lower lip to your forehead, whistle Dixie (if you can) while doing the (macarena?) on the office furniture.
10. Make out in the CD-ROM aisle.
11. Smear your forehead with crumbled feta cheese and walk around with a big smile on your face.
12. Get samples, steal booze, and party like a fool in the walk-in freezer!
13. Take a nap on pallet of canoes.
14. Switch voice boxes of G.I. Joe and Barbie so they can say what they really mean.
15. ChrisLove says may the force be with you wherever you shop.
