The camera phone doesn't quite capture the intense thrill of Turtle racing @ Brennans Pub in Los Angeles. Seriously. Apparently, this happens every thursday, and by the size of the crowd, you can see the strong draw of the ritual! The turtle on the right won by a long shot. I got bored of it after round one, and went back into the bar to see if I was up on the pool table. The other highlight of the night was rocking out to The Mandrakes (www.themandrakes.com), a seriously overserious but seriously not bad cover band. I can't imagine that dancing front and center at a Spin Doctors concert to Two Princes could have been any more fun than when I let go of my cynicism and hit the dance floor. And at a real Spin Doctors show, they NEVER would have broke into Cure's I'll Stop The World and Melt With You. Two thumbs up, Mandrakes.
