downtown

So there are a ton of independent eating places downtown, whether it be a sign of my age or I’ve just found some really cool places to hang out, I seem to have become a creature of confort recently and go to the same places all the time. Anyway, to address the balance I finally got around to checking out a sandwich place which is literally one avenue over from my house – its shameful that I’ve lived here 3 years and still not been in…until now. Anyway said sandwich shop is Mcgurkee's J P Sandwich Shop (2822 N 15th Ave, Phoenix) and its pretty interesting, firstly it looks like an irish tavern inside has a gaelic sounding name, yet is an italian sandwich shop….go figure. Anyway the super scilian is truely a thing of beauty, with a ton of meat on a toast poppy seed italian sub, well worth the wait.

On a separate note, the project scooter is getting the once over at scoot over, turns out I did (afterall) get the electrics in 99%, I just had two green wires by the CDI round the wrong way, which is why it would not spark….live and learn i guess…….

reflection

I’m sat in lux after a wee night out on the town, reflecting on last nites events. We started off @ the george and dragon, which I’m disliking with an increasing passion as there are an alarming amount of british imposters in there with god awful fake accents. Then worked our way around the gay bars in the melrose district – catching karokee where a fat jack osbourne look alike screeched into the mike, before heading downtown. Not bad for a day that was 113F

Finally some clever geek type person has made a decent blackberry wordpress app. So here it is, my first post while mobile – I’m currently sat at the light rail station sweating my nuts off waiting for the train…sweet.

July 4th….almost

Well not quiet July 4th but a day off anyway, and by day off I mean I didn’t have to go into my place of employment but yet I found myself doing work for that afore mentioned job anyway. July 4th is just any other day in England – not being a nation to celebrate our defeats, and I have grown to dislike July 4th with an ever growing passion. I don’t really give a rats arse about the British withdrawal (I will call it a withdrawal in the same way Vietnam was deemed a withdrawal), however, It does erk when an american realizing I’m British makes some reference to having a Boston Tea Party with me. Anyway aside from that checked out That's A Wrap (2022 N 7th St, Phoenix) which was pretty decent. Then headed up to Firesky Resort & Spa (4925 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale) for cocktails with our new friends Mark and Carl to celebrate their anniversary, followed by dinner at the Roaring Fork (4800 N Scottsdale Rd Ste 1700, Scottsdale) .
