Right after work yesterday I met a bunch of friends at Cuba Cuba for dinner. I’ve heard of this place before but never been there and I found out that have I been missing out for quite some time. The restaurant in located in a small blue house and has a great bar, live local Cuban music and a beautiful patio. I started of the evening with a Couple of mojitos that were excellent with plenty of mint and just the right amount of booze. For dinner I had the Palomilla which was really tender but slightly overpriced, I would suggest the Pan con Bistec which is basically the same thing but on bread and it’s $5 cheaper. I highly suggest Cuba Cuba. It was some damn good eats.

Afterwards we headed over to the Acoma Theatre for their two-for-one ticket night. We watched Martin Moran’s one man show “The Tricky Part”. The performance was fantastic and the writing was even better. The performance confessional memoir of the disturbing events concerning child molestation that took place in Moran’s youth. The details are graphic and the subject matter was obviously emotional. The circumstances of Moran’s life weighed heavily on all in attendance but also made for some lively discussion afterwards.

This discussion continued down the street at Dazzle, where we somehow talked the bouncer into letting us all in without the cover. After a while Future Jazz Project kicked in and tore the place up. Some great booty-shakin’ rump-rockin’ tunes lightened all of our moods and sent many of us to the dance floor. Later in the night we headed to the Funky Buddha to make fun of all the fakesters and get one last drink in. I finally got home at around 2:30 in morning. Having so much fun is a lot of work.
