Highlights from Monday night. Creative Mex-Asian bites from Chef Suzu included tuna-nori tacos, curried beans, and kimchee tamales. Enthusiastic movie goers dug in. Loving the hiking backpack full of blankets and pillows!
This Saturday, I thought small. Specifically, I patted myself on the back for all the local purchases I made in the spirit of Small Business Saturday. Instead of firing off my go to two-shot one-pump vanilla latte at Starbucks, for instance, I exchanged pleasantries with my baristo atToscanini’s. This is a kinder kind of capitalism.
I also hit up Boomerangs in Cambridge in preparation for the screening of the 3 Amigos last night. I had a mustache contest to win, and I really slacked off this Movember.
This song was stuck in my head the whole time at Boomerangs.
The first rule of thrifting is to never expect to find the thing you’re specifically thrifting for. If I had been looking for a fall coat and pleated scarf, for instance, I definitely would have discovered the sombrero and poncho I was seeking. Alas, no mariachi bands had broken up recently.
I made out like a bandit while thrifting. Speaking of: Brian from Angels Envy, Curtis from William Grant Portfolio, and our very own Bar Manager Tyler were dressed the part.
I hadn’t seen the cult classic The Three Amigos. So I dutifully researched beforehand. And couldn’t stop laughing.
You won’t be able to replicate our big screen experience, with Tyler’s creative cocktail (called Son of a Motherless Goat) in hand. At least do yourself the service of renting the movie now. You might even be able to find it in the bargain bin of your neighborhood thrift shop. Get a blanket from Boomerangs, where all proceeds from your fashionable purchases go to the AIDS Action Committee of MA, Inc; the nonprofit is dedicated to providing resources and preventing the spread of the epidemic.
