Tony's 50th birthday at The Record Parlour in Hollywood. Cute record store/private party place, complete with a little outdoor area they were able to stuff a grill in and make tacos. Happy Birthday Tony!
Wandered to Berlin Currywurst afterwards for a snack. Sadly the concept of German fast food seems to be a bit lost on this place; they have a rather nice beer selection (beer at a place we'd were using to sober up, unfortunately... doh!), decent paprikawurst, and absolutely flavorless bratwurst. Covering everything up with varying levels of spice isn't as interesting as it was hoped, either-- the heat was just heat, not a lot of interest flavor.
Earlier in the day, checking out the new UCLA dining hall in the dorms (at Sproul), Bruin Plate. Fancy small plates, fruit juices instead of soda, pretty nifty. Coworkers found it bland but honestly, given the frou-frou nature of the place, it was actually pretty good. A very unconventional dorm food experience to say the least, even more small-plate-fancy than the slightly older Rieber Feast.
