In San Francisco there's a very odd place called the noc noc or the boom boom or some such. It's in the Haight next door to "the Tornado" which is 'probly the best beer bar in the Western US, I digress. Anyway this place, the...what-ever it was called is like being in a cartoon submarine. It's like a Peter Max dream...kinda like the Keith Hering room in Musee Le Pompedu. (only with colors)

NocNoc is the unification between Flintstones primitivism and Kraftwerk/Chris&Cosey electronic modernism.

The use of television screens on static, the amoeba shaped furniture, the dramatic red coloring, all tied together by a prehistoric theme made for many incredible druken evenings.

The beer was good, although I preferred the Sake.

The steely blue vibe of the Toronado Room was also incredible.

Forget Haight & Ashbury, Lower Haight was the place!
