Doodle of the Day for January 30, 2009

Last night I went to Chop­stix, a duel­ing piano bar in Seat­tle with my wife and some friends. I ordered the Mai Tai and it was pretty good, not great, but it’s not really a Tiki bar, so I can’t judge them too harshly on that point. The pianists were great, lots of fun, even if they only played one of my requests. (Movin’ on Up from the old tele­vi­sion pro­gram The Jef­fer­sons).

It’s a good place to have fun, but not really to have a con­ver­sa­tion, so I wasn’t able to chat with my friends as much as I’d have liked. Between the moments of shout­ing con­ver­sa­tions about Cory Doctorow’s lat­est book, my friend Russ and I started play­ing “doo­dle improv”. That’s where one per­son draws a line or two, then the next per­son draws a line and it builds until you have a com­pleted doo­dle. In this case, a lit­tle fel­low drink­ing a Mai Tai, com­pleted on the back of a song request sheet. I highly rec­om­mend doo­dle improvs, Mai Tai’s and of course The Jeffersons.
