Love old rasputin sooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!

OK so here we go…
the first stop in malibu is at guido's malibu. i have a regular friday night bar table reserved, of course.
the G-SPOT as it is locally known caters to the "old" malibu crowd. its a fantastic local EYE-TALIAN family style place, but the real kick is the bar. the bar itself only seats about 8 people and then there are two bar tables that are next to the wine racks opposite the bar. very cozy. everyone knows everyone. this is where local politics really occurs and the deals are done, coalitions formed, ideas finalized. the place gets packed and loud. generally on any given friday night i will know every single person at the bar and bar tables as i have for the last dozen or so years. same exact people. the other bar table is the same 6-8 people for over twenty years now (its the local publisher and his people). nothing ever changes here.
(umm… a few years ago i was approached and asked if i wanted to be the next mayor, but after my wife and i stopped laughing i declined)
so the World Tour continues...
tonite is SUSHI TIME!
but first some pics of the coasters.

well, last night was exciting !
we had guests, a set of world traveling coasters.
http://www.noburestaurants.com/malibu/experience/introduction
we went to our favorite sushi place, Nobu Malibu. the place was hoping and there was an electric sub-current of self infatuation. ahhh…. saturday nights. this place must be experienced in person, and it can be done relatively cheaply, but sadly not without reservations. nobu is the most consistently sold out place in town, still after being open about 12 years. i have to make my reservations a solid month prior, and i have been a regular since it opened. yes, you can just do a walk-in and try and get a seat at the sushi bar, but hey, i am a table man and have you seen the wait for the sushi bar? ridiculousity at its LA best. i dont wait. for anything. ever.
fortune favors the prepared, you heard it here!
heck , i have asked about them opening an SF location.
these coasters are getting around.
now for the pics.......
simon
ps. if anyone is in town and feels like iron heart and sushi..... yes, thats an invite.

well, its time to finish up the malibu leg of the world tour.
today, its my backyard for some breakfast champagne!
my house borders santa monica conservancy land and the backbone trail out back and we have an ocean peek out front, so we feel that have a great combination of natural beauty and vistas.
i will miss bring the coasters around and having the additional talking point. teh coasters always lead to a discussion of japanese denim and iron heart. always.
wow, should i bring them to SF and the mecca (SESF)?
nahhh… its time to get these puppies on to the next member!
plenty of time for SF shots!
simon
ps, as to something i said the other day...to succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles.

Very nice indeed.
Wanna trade lives for a while?…
Katsushin,
the grass is always greener… in malibu!
(only kidding)
malibu is great unless you have problems with either earth/wind/fire/ and or water.
it doesnt suck.

Didn't realize you were in Austin. Next time I'm there I'll have to PM you.
Yeah I don't dig these cats either…
Dude, Earth, Wind & Fire is awesome. Malibu earthquakes, mudslides & wildfires… not so much.
Simon, nice tour leg; Gilbertt, looking forward to seeing the coasters in Baltimore.

needs an update
-
if it is Gilbert he is in MD. . . should send Doug out to scout on one of his sleepless nights & figure out what the hell the coasters are doing.
now that would be an interesting update.
