12 Galaxies

Small enough to feel intimate, big enough to kick ass. Groovy live music venue, i.e. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and True Skool Presents. Not a bad seat in the house, plus a chill zone upstairs with pool tables to boot. Name comes from Frank Chu, a bizarre character spotted around town with political/extraterrestrial-conspiracy message boards. Chu sometimes turns up, message board in hand. $7 platter of spicy jambalaya worth the trip alone.
