FuRaiBo on Sawtelle

Saturday evening, I went to Pauline Kamiyama's opening at the 18th Street Art Center. She co-teaches a class in the Public Art Studies at my Alma Mater, Otis Art Institute. The show was made up of the first year students in the Masters program. It was really crowded and their were awesome collaborative and socially political installations. I hooked up with Pauline and her husband Tom Clancy after it was over at FuRaiBo, 2068 Sawtelle Avenue LA CA 90025. FuRaiBo has other locations in Southern California. It's a great place to hook up with friends, have a drink and eat Japanese side dishes that go well with beer or sake. We primarily ordred various skewers of Yakitori. My favorite was the chicken liver. It's modeled after the Japanese "Nomi-yas" or drinking places and is a very fun way to try various dishes with a group of friends.
