Last night was my first Safari Sam's experience. Megan and I went to the club last night to see The Spores and Marky Ramone and I was completely impressed. All the hell that the Safari Sam's people had to go through to get the club open was worth it. The space is this former strip joint in the 99 Cent Only shopping center on Sunset and Hobert in Thai Town or Little Armenia or whatever it is. I thought it might be a really divy hipster space, but the owners did a good job of making the club attractive and comfortable. There is a lot of seating, particularly in the balcony, which I think is the restaurant area. The bartenders and the doorman last night were incredibly friendly (another anomaly at cool clubs), the sound is good AND, and this is the most important AND you will ever see in a quasi-club review, the bathrooms are clean. Clean bathrooms? Was I visiting some sort of clubland utopia? I don't know, but I can't wait until there is another show I want to see at Safari Sam's.
That's all for now. I have to get back to work.
