Random trivia: Christopher Straub designed the Caterpillar Lounge logo
Today on Facebook, local fashion designer and one-time Project Runway contestant Christopher Straub let slip that he was behind Azia's Caterpillar Lounge logo. The logo will find a new home at the newly-reopened Caterpillar Lounge at Thom Pham's Wondrous Azian Kitchen downtown.

Azia goes out with a bang...and an open bar
We here at LOL/OMG are crying in our sushi over the closing of Azia Restaurant (even though we've got Thom Pham's Wondrous Azian Kitchen to look forward to next week). We'll miss the Eat Street staple dearly, but this just-posted promo vid put together by Azia in anticipation of their big closing bash makes us feel a little better. Tickets to the soiree this Sunday, August 8th are $50 but also come along with the magic words OPEN BAR. Not to mention awesome food specials plus DJs in the Caterpillar Lounge and in A25 and live jazz in the main restaurant. Nice! We'll totally be there with bells on!
Buy your tickets at the Restaurant or online here, but act fast, as this is likely to sell out before Sunday.

Azia might not close after all!
As we mourn the impending loss of one of our favorite eat street staples, Azia Restaurant, the ever-resourceful Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl at MnMo has discovered that there is in fact a light at the end of the tunnel.
We all heard the vague blame being placed on Azia's landlord for repairs not made and such, but Ms. Dara got right to the bottom of things. Her article fills us in on just how bad it got, describing how out of compliance rain leders led to Azia's basement being flooded on a regular basis - most recently costing owner Thom Pham upwards of $20,000 in damages. Apparently, actions are now being taken to the sell property to a new developer, with Azia agreeing to stay put if the deal goes through. According to Dara:
"...there are some back-channel efforts under way to help Fung to sell the property to a developer more interested in maintaining and developing the property, and Pham and this developer are already in agreement to keep Azia there if and when the sale goes through. If the sale doesn’t go through, there may be yet a plan C and even a plan D to make it work."
No deal has been inked yet, but we're crossing our fingers and toes!
