I’m pretty sure my mom took me to an Arby’s at some point. We ate at all those kinds of places, and supplemented with the old school Chinese restaurants. The one in Longview finally shut down recently, after some horrifying reviews.
They used to put out coupons sheets filled with tons of deals, like 6 Roast Beasts in Buns for $4 (maybe 3?) in Los Angeles. This was 1986 ish. My room mates and I always hit the place once a week.

Dance report: William Forsythe's Enemy in the Figure is overwhelming in the best way possible. Quintett (set to Gavin Bryars's Jesus Blood) is unusual in a good way. Sharon Eyal was good if predictable, I'm torn about her: I like her work a lot, but I know what's coming.
Léa Cazauran was really cool, standing out in hip-hop dance shows that are usually not great in a crowd-pleasing setting
I'm in the EU, dance doesn't travel well (I'm very ignorant about US dance)
