The homie Linyee came to visit last night with her boys BLK JKS who were in town for a show at M Room. I haven’t seen Linyee since her Bday BBQ in July and I didn’t get a chance to go to her weekly summer jam The Kitchen Tuesdays, though I’m sure it was poppin. Since Linyee always takes care of me foodwise when I visit her in the BK, I had no choice but to give her the royal treatment in return. Since Linyee ranted and raved about the Laotian food from my baby shower, I took her to Vientiane Cafe in West Philly.

It says Laotian Thai, but thats just for the scaredy cats.

I think this picture says it all about Linyee’s appetite. I’m still trying to remember all the settings on my camera since it’s been away for repairs so long, but I still can’t get good stills in low lighting so sorry, no close-ups of food. But in case you’re wondering (from left to right) that’s beef jerky, fish cakes,and papaya salad. That funny little reed basket thingy Linyee’s holding up is a case of sticky rice. After having our fill, headed back to the M Room to see the guys play.


Once again, low light settings, plus I think I was really trying to get into the music, which was described to me as “psychedelic electro rock”. I sensed a little bit of Ska in there as well, but these guys were really good. Too bad M Room wasn’t bigger and the show set wasnt longer, I look forward to hearing the album. In the meantime you can check em out here.

And finally a word from M Room.
