i had dinner the other day at Cove which is a new restaurant that just opened at south bank. it was very good food and the price wasn't too bad. would definitely recommend!

[okonomi]

Anybody going to see Pete Rock on Friday night?

[034936]

Really?

Should've said hey! What'd you think of the set?

[okonomi]

Oh shit you guys were both there?

Pete Rock was a bit dissapointing to be honest, it was just a glorified DJ set.

But I had a grin on my face the whole time for Shabazz, those guys have so much fun with their music.

[034936]

where to cop good magazines?

[okonomi]

^^ I too wish I knew that, especially where to get Fantastic Man now that borders is gone.

Who's going to Laneway? Here's my probably lineup:

any of you guys hit up Mappen noodle bar in Sunnybank?

So fast, tasty and cheap (like 6-7 dollars).

[CBM]

Haven't been to that particular place, but Sunnybank in general is the best place ever for asian food. Need to go back soon and try this place out!

I've been meaning to pop in there. Should've gone there instead of MOS Burger after (trying) to vote today.

[dumadiscount]

recommend carolina kitchen in coorpraroo for cheap 'soul food'... american style burgers, chicken wangs and cornbread. bit slow as they have a small kitchen so call ahead for takeaway.

so are there any cool new stores? i only really hit up apmnt & cloakroom when im in the city.

[okonomi]

Just learnt today that there's a place in Market Square that sells fake Visvim

[infinity_mirage]

There's so many japanese restaurants at Sunnybank now! They just opened up Himiwari (next to hakataya?). I heard that it's pretty good.. but gotta try it out myself first before I recommend to people.

[okonomi]

Pretty sure I just saw a dude on the 1am Beenleigh train wearing a red/cream TOJ 2010 Winter Varsity. Anybody here?

[dumadiscount]

lol - this guy perhaps?

[usher]

might've seen a dude wearing toj bomber with shearling collar and those side-entry pockets - just quickly glanced tho, so not too sure o:

I'll be in brisbane for a wedding soonish. Won't be in town for long but anything I should try to do while I'm there? i.e best breakfast or dinner spot? Particularly good bar or pub?

[okonomi]

Nicest breakfast/lunch I reckon is Cirque on Brunswick St, cool place with nice food and super cheap. I know little about dinner spots really, but for bars, try The End in West End, Super Whatnot in the city and The Scratch on Park Rd. Best coffee in Brisbane is Cup in West End

[CBM]

Agree with what okonomi said, but I'd add campos on james street for breakfast (although it is always pretty packed), brew in the city for coffee, lunch, drinks, and any of the brothers/fifth battery coffee spots (valley, bulimba, and two in the city).

lol nah it wasn't me..

[okonomi]

Haha, yeah it was actually one of the ones with raglan sleeves so definitely not you

Strongly expecting to see some sufu-ers at Ghostface/Doom next week. Am I correct in this assumption?

[034936]

i'd recommend Crosstown eating house for breakfast.. as well as Pearl (a few shops down, imo best breakfast/cafe in Brisbane).

I also really rate Taro's ramen in the city.

Doubt i'll be going to doom/ghostface. mainly because of the venue.

[okonomi]

Being at Mystique is quite a turn-off. Considering the ticket price though, it's not like the place will be filled with the regulars.

[homme.homme]

Thanks for the tips homies. If I have any time I'll hit you guys up for a beer or something but I think it's going to be a pretty snappy trip up and back.

[Njalle]

the archive in west end for the best beer in town

[034936]

mystique?? i;ve been hearing it's at boondall.... hmmmm........

[okonomi]

Yeah they refer to it as 'The Arena' which kinda sounds like Boondall or something, but it's actually a pseudonym for Mystique.

[dry1210]

Ghostface for sure!

[usher]

lol what's with the ticket price for ghostface+doom, it's like $80 (and mystique) :/

[okonomi]

Yeah it's $80. Steep but fuck it, experiential purchases are the way to go.

edit: Shit was good.
