shorts11Unicorn: always imaginary, now nonexistent. The trendy little Pan-Asian restaurant, once the one-stop shop for all your Asian culinary needs, has finally galloped away. We kinda had a feeling that an upscale restaurant with snazzy interior design and complimentary champagne wasn’t really Telegraph Avenue material. Don’t worry, you can still find them in SF. [Yelp]

A reminder: Why would you ever want to pay $50 to dance for 12 hours? Because 1350 children die from AIDS every day. Yes, the two are related. [ASUC]

We generally tend to avoid things with the word “marathon” in the title at all costs, unless “marathon” is paired with “America’s Next Top Model,” but it’s pretty hard to argue with a cause like the eradication of pediatric AIDS and we really do enjoy dancing, so we decided to buck up and sign up. The Hollywood-themed marathon, which ran from 8 p.m. on Friday to 8 a.m. on Saturday, ended up being, well, not very marathon-like at all. (Ten points, ASUC!) read more »
