Still Virtuosic After All These Years...
Two Sitars; Two Shankars; Three Raags; Two hours of perfection!
TJ and I went to Santa Cruz last night for the Ravi Shankar and Anoushka Shankar show. We started the night at the Saturn Cafe, where we shared a vegan bacon burger, vegan taquitos and each had organic amber ale brewed right there in Santa Cruz. Had a couple more beers at 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall (Black Butte Porter on tap!) before heading over to the Civic Theatre.
Ravi Shankar is now 87 years old. What a gifted man. He still plays with an inimitable passion.
Anoushka is 26...incredibly talented and beautiful to boot. Individually, they are unforgettable. Together, they are a freight train. You just have to shake your head and let them thunder by. I got sucked in to the music, and before I knew it, a couple hours had passed and everyone was roaring their appreciation.
Of course, after the show, we had to go back to the Saturn Cafe (which is open until 3am!) and have vegan shakes before heading home and hitting the sack.
P.S. Anoushka cut her hair.

So, I know this is totally off topic, but I really like taquitos. I get all excited when I see them on the menu, and I order them up. I know they aren't really very authentic Mexican cuisine. Or at all, but they are like little rolls of heaven. I bet the vegan ones are good, too.
I just wanted to share.
I hear ya sister. TJ and I LOVE taquitos. There is a place in San Diego called El Zarape that makes the most amazing potato taquitos. Also, in Encinitas, we used to frequent a place called El Callejon. Those might have been the best recorded instances of potato taquitos in history. :)
