inman square.
my new inanimate love is inman square. this weekend, i had the pleasure of eating at magnolia's, argana, and ryle's.
magnolia's has a colorful, inviting exterior. it is decorated with mardi gras beads and quasi-vodou artifacts. it embodies the photo-op. i had the pleasure of dining with a russ, a gentleman too cool for words.
on saturday, i've come to realize what is fun about youth. the original intention was to eat at dali, an authentic spanish restaurant. with lines out the door, we decided to try another venue. thankfully, we (max, alexandra, stephen, and samantha) made our way to argana. this restaurant has--quite possibly--the most beautiful interior. it is bold orange and yellow with plush chairs, a french-speaking waitstaff, and a middle-aged bellydancer with a smooth stomach (see picture below). oh, the dollar bill in her waistband is likely mine.
first, i must take bellydancing lessons. i did a little something only to be properly rewarded by the bartender. he came from behind the bar with a $1 bill. he remarked, "that [my shimmey] is worth more than a dollar." i highly recommend argana if for nothing more than the pleasantly flirtatious waitstaff.
on sunday morning, katie and vanessa--2 women i admire--and i went to ryle's, a jazz club that serves mammoth brunch meals while a live jazz band plays on stage. the concept is not particularly novel but innovative at the same time if that's possible. i was unbelievably satiated. for your pleasure and entertainment, is an excerpt from black star's astronomy (8th light). it relates, though tangentially, to ryle's because it mentions coltrane. by the way, naima is my favorite coltrane piece.
i've been there before
to bring the light and heat it up like la cocina
make without imagine happen but maybe i'm just a dreamer
i love rockin' tracks like john coltrane love naima
like the student love the teacher
like the prophet love khadijah
