Sailor over Frisket


Sailor over Frisket, originally uploaded by epc.

Frisket is dozing away on the couch. Lisa is offscreen to the right working from home on a sick day. Sailor is determined to doze on the couch as well, carefully climbs through the space between Frisket and Lisa's feet and curls up on top of the cushion behind Frisket.

I thought they were dogs, not cats.

Social House Las Vegas: did you really want to make a reservation?

I'm heading to Las Vegas at the end of March to tag around the IA Summit before heading to San Diego for the 2007 etech conference. I'd heard about a new restaurant, Social House, designed by the people behind Public in New York, with an executive chef who came up through the Nobu chain of restaurants.

Some months ago I found their web site and was thrilled to see I could book a reservation online and did so.

And heard nothing, no email acknowledgment back, no phone call, nada.

Today I called the phone number listed on the website to book reservations. After a 30 second message I learn that you're actually supposed to call another number instead, which I did.

Eventually I got the confirmation I was looking for, after 8 minutes of going on hold/off hold, etc.
