DOMO SUSHI

Sushi pretty much all looks the same, and I like all of it, unless it's bad. Domo Sushi is a tiny neighborhood spot in Hayes Valley. Laurel lives right around the corner so it was a perfect spot to meet. These are called Fire Cracker Balls.

After dinner we went to a fun event. It was supposed to be a fund-raiser for an organization that is giving away money to up and coming film makers (http://tenfest.com/event-skeletron.php) but it was really just an excuse to have a party in a cool spot. Skeletron played for an enthusiastic crowd. Everyone was dancing (even me with sciatica) in a basement that had windows to street level, like in Cheers. We talked about cool high tech, start-up stuff like iPhone rumors and beta technologies like robo.to.

This happened on the way to there:

Got in a cab.

Cab driver gave me a look as to say "where?"

I said "511 Laguna Street, please"

Cabbie: "What's the cross street?"

Me: "Hayes, I think, but let me check my map"

Cabbie: "You better be sure"

Me: "Don't worry, I'll pay you even if I'm wrong"

Cabbie: "Well, don't blame me"

Me: "Hayes and Laguna"

Blood boils....

Meter comes to $7.60

I give him $9.00

Me: "I just want you to know that normally I'm a big tipper, but since you were rude I'm giving you an average tip"

Cabbie: sarcastically "Good night"

Me: "Just so we're clear, you were the one who was rude"

Cabbie: menacingly "You want to get out?"
