The story of an all night underground rave in San Francisco. This movie perfectly encapsulates every dance club archetype in a glorious pre-9/11 world. There's the party promoter, the cool girl from out of town, the new guy learning to let loose, and British DJ John Digweed arriving at the end for the slow motion finale kiss. It's corny and I loved it. Roger Ebert's 2-star review begins: "Groove provides a cleaned-up, innocuous version of the rave scene, showing it as a life-affirming voyage of discovery instead of what it often is, a stop-and-shop ticket to troubles with Ecstasy."

i went in expecting "movie musical pseudo-biopic," but i got a fantastical deep dive into a downward spiral. several scenes that will rattle around in my head forever. it's not a sleeper, but i put it off for way too long because i didn't know what it really was; it sure ain't Chicago.

Ate this for the first time last night because it’s been rec’d a bunch of times on here and im in Boston for the week. Borderline psychedelic. This sandwich is insane. You’re all insane. I’m kinda craving another somehow.

My addition is the Empire Garden Restaurant in Chinatown. Built into an old vaudeville theater, the food is solid but the atmosphere is absurd and a must see.
