9pm: Whiskey Dick's - There were about 20 people, one waitress and two bartenders in the old Brix space. They changed the space with a horseshoe bar (convenient). The decor is minimal. There were a surprising number of young, attractive girls for such a no frills locale. The Bartender was hot.
9:30pm: Versus - There were four people and one bartender in the old Clubhouse location. They totally redid the interior. Why? They never have any customers and are too far off of Orange to ever have any. The place looks nice, but, it's basically the same theme.
10pm: Baby Grands - It was about one third full and felt empty. It's on the second level above Touch on Church. A poor knock off of the enigmatically popular Howl at The Moon.
10:30: Touch - There were about forty people in this interesting club under the overhang on Church. The DJ was great. There were three male and one busty bartender. The bar surface lights up when you "touch" it. The space has a big, central dance floor, two bar areas, a patio and reserved seating. A cool atmosphere. Too bad I had ants in my pants and couldn't wait to see the promise of a full club after 12 come true.
12pm: Independent - The same hipster vibe that has been going on for years. It will be the same club 100 years from now. Too smoky to enjoy.
12:30: Boss - I believe this is the name. It's across from the new 7-11. This place which has been a billion things was now doing a retro thing. It was packed with all ages living an 80's flashback complete with original music videos. I've seen youngin's reveling in nostalgia, but, never like this. It seemed like they were yearning for a time machine. A hell of a lot of fun.
2pm: Brick and Fire Pizza Truck - Two young entrepreneurs have licensed the brand name and bake pizzas from their truck. I knew it could be done. I didn't love the pizza at the Brick and Fire I went to, but, I liked theirs. It was fresh and they add a little grated Parmesan on top for a little pungency. They are in the alley behind the Lodge aside the back entrance to Wall St.
