For the September 18, 2003 issue of the Georgia Straight I
had to shoot an assignment that involved at least four restaurant locations
where I had to photograph three rock bands together (three different for each
restaurant). The idea is that the bands were asked where they liked to hang
out. From those answers I picked the locations. It was not quite the age of
email so I had to call these bands (they had day jobs) and plead for them to
show up at the same time at the location. I believe that that I did one more in 2005 and then
told Mike Usinger (the nut at the Straight) to never call me again for this
assignment.
This past Friday, February 24 2017 we were unable to get
a reservation at Lombardo’s Pizza on
Commercia. My friend baroque bassist Curtis Daily (he had been intrigued by the
Clubhouse when we found the place closed mid afternoon) suggested we go there
with my wife, eldest daughter Ale (visiting from Lillooet) and Lauren, 14.
We
went and it was a felicitous occasion. The place, which Curtis says cannot last
much longer, is a nice funky semi dive with an all-around
charm. The servers are just right, the beer is good and the food just right. I
plan to return.
