Restaurants & comedy clubs I will be visiting with eccentric boy geniuses/ characters in America's "fun capitol":
Roy's (it gives "Franchise" a redeeming cachet): Welcome to Roy Yamaguchi's Aloha State of Mind in the heart of the Financial District; review of Will Ferrell's new movie, Stranger than Fiction; California Writers Club (Berkeley Branch) meeting with author of American Mania: When More is Not Enough (Peter Whybrow, MD).
Notes on Ken Turan's talk at the Commonweath Club. He is movie critic of the Los Angeles Times & will speak on his forthcoming book: NEVER COMING TO A THEATER NEAR YOU: A Celebration of a Certain Kind of Blockbuster. What does he really think of the hot new film, Borat? Is it like getting giddily drunk & waking up with a hangover the next day? Is it as audacious & funny as many critics say? Or are the critics bored with the usual Hollywood fare?
The Cheesecake Factory: Chris Rock's favorite sandwich! Is he a lapsed rabbi who now loves eating all that shrimp & bacon? Is his real name Chris Weinstein?
Plouf: one of the top French seafood restaurants in S.F.
Poggio: Sausalito -- how do they shoot all those wild boars in time for National
Turkey day?
BKK Thai Cuisine (cheap spot for San Francisco Academy of Arts students) & an interview with Richard Best, expert on longevity & Resveratrol...will America's soon be popping this remarkable supplement to prevent obesity & how are the mice doing on a calorie restricted diet?
Cannery's Green Room -- hot spot for local Bay Area comics in Fishermans Wharf.
