Flutterby™! : Millenium, Stomp and fetish wear

Aaaahhh. Nice relaxing day yesterday, spent most of it bouncing around the city looking for some clothing (for a friend, really(!)), after hitting some of the places on Haight and not finding what we were looking for we ended up at Stormy Leather, which didn't really match, but the good folks there said "Try Felicity's Fetiche, it's kind of a stripper's supply store." I think we need an excuse to go back, they had some of the right clothing, but the vibe there was kinda the same as the last time I was in an industrial gasses supply place, the folks behind the counter were clearly professionals and knew the details of their product. If you ever need stripping advice you could do a lot worse walking in there, explaining your situation, and letting them outfit you. After that, we ended up doing dinner at the always awesome Millenium, vegetarian that even the most die-hard carnivores seem to enjoy, went back towards Union Square where we wandered up Sutter, ducked into a gallery that really cool mesh sculptures that cast even cooler shadows (more forthcoming as I find more details on the artist), and then went to see Stomp. So it's not deep meaningful drama, but if you liked that Volkswagen ad where the music on the radio meshes with the stuff happening on the street, or grew up with those Muppets sketches where they layered a bunch of different sounds together, or even that great episode where Buddy Rich "played the theatre", Stomp is a very entertaining evening. A wonderful mesh of percussion, dance and found sound. I don't know how the various troupes are, but if they're half as good as the San Francisco group the traveling show is definitely worth an evening. Recommended.
