Slept in. Breakfast soft tacos: organic corn tortillas, leftover grilled potatoes, leftover spanish rice, organic sour cream. Picked up Danny at the spa. Parked at 5th and Mission garage. Westfield Centre food court: dinner for Danny, a snack for me. I got 2 crispy rolls and a thai iced tea from Coriander Gourmet Thai—$6.02. Dancing at Heaven at Infusion Lounge. Ric asked later how it was. This is what I told him: "My first time. I am told that last time it was dead. This time it was packed. Will it be a new trend? Opening DJ was Alan Bentley. Headliner DJ was Jack Chang (SF debut). Both were good and played pretty standard dance music. There didn't seem to be a dance floor, but Danny told me they opened the back room as a dance floor when we left around—I didn't understand why they kept that room closed for so long. Danny thinks they wanted to make it seem crowded—a good guess. We just danced wherever. Since there wasn't a dedicated dance floor it seemed as though people felt uneasy about dancing. The decor is colored in black and mirrorpolish silver. The lighting is red backlighting and (I think) white halogens—overall pretty dimly lit. Everything looks brand new. I didn't sit, but the booths seemed comfortable. I think the space is unique and that it gives a feeling of luxury. If it were up to me, I think there are too many hard surfaces—the space could benefit from one or two large floral arrangements. Coat check and restroom attendants—no problems. Go-go dancers: very sexy." Met Hiroki, Krystal, Ben, Jason, Andrew, Steven, Keith, Mark and Jason, Kim, Anthony, Phiam.
