Small venue, raucous show, lots of water, lots of beer. Plus . . . surfing, skydiving, bank robbing, and guns! I haven't seen the movie, but now I'm left really scratching my head -- this must be a truly weird film.

Point Break Live is a lot of fun, and quite funny. If you want to really be a part of it, you can sit in front and get drenched -- they provide ponchos. Otherwise, you can sit in the back and watch the excitement from a safe distance.

Our Keanu (picked from the audience) really got his timing and expressions right. Point Break Live is worth seeing whether or not you've actually seen Point Break, the movie.

Couleur Cafe has a very French feel to it. Not French like, "Dress up and hold on to your wallet. We're going out for French food," but French like a regular neighborhood bistro. If you go there, you'll actually hear the French language spoken in the cafe.

Sometimes the place seems unnervingly empty, but on weekend days, the patio fills with customers. They have some good seafood dishes, as well as eggs and sandwiches.

If you happen to work in the Crossroads building, it's often the only choice. I particularly enjoy the breakfast burritos, although they are a guilty pleasure. The sandwiches are pretty good, too. Nevertheless, their espresso is basically undrinkable. Skip it, but do get a cookie. Those are pretty good.
