Sushi-A-Go-Go


I was driving around the north Lamar area to finish off a roll of film, before dropping it off at Precision Camera, when I passed by Sushi-A-Go-Go. I never had a chance to try them at their old location, so I was excited to run into their new location. I dropped off my film and went back and browsed the menu. I went with the Philly Roll (of course), and the Sunshine Roll (fresh salmon, mango, and avocado). My friend got the Shu-Mai (shrimp dumplings). Everything was SUPER fresh tasting. The Sunshine Roll was almost mouth-watering and definitely refreshing.

The sushi was reasonably priced, the food came out fast, and the staff was very friendly. It's the perfect spot to grab a quick bite of sushi while enjoying the fresh spring weather. Plus, picnic tables? Cute. A few people got their food to-go, and it looked pretty painless and quick. They are set up in the Shell parking lot on 45th and Medical. They only sell water and green-tea like drinks, so we went and bought some drinks from the gas station.

I would definitely recommended Sushi-A-Go-Go!

Maestro at the Long Center




Maestro as directed by the creator, Keith Johnstone, and the talented Andy Crouch.

Improvisers performed at the Long Center after partaking in a sold-out four day workshop by Johnstone. While not as "epic" as I would have hoped, I laughed so hard I hit my head on the railing behind me and collapsed on the chair in front of me. In the end, Curtis took home the coveted Canadian five-dollar bill.

It was definitely a worthwhile and great experience to see such a huge cast on stage performing in well-loved skit styles and a couple of new ones.
