(i liked the little hole-in-the-wall indonesian restaurant in Old Sac, if it's food that you're looking for.)

We went to Nationwide and then walked to Old Sac (which is great in the Disneyland-sense) and slept on benches by the river while a bunch of kids made a youtube rap video. Later in the day I saw Arnold. Conclusion: Sac-town is def good for a day of fun.

Other thoughts: Governor's Mansion is pretty, Crest theater might have the greatest theater sign I've ever seen, just gorgeous.

yeah, Old Sac is a tourist trap ... but then again, i am fond of tourist traps and the attendant cheesiness and crass profiteering (i also enjoyed SF's Fisherman's Wharf). i really liked the Railroad Museum and the restored Old West buildings there, too.
i only spent one day in Sacramento, so i can't really judge the town too much. but being used to crappy East Coast capitol cities (like Trenton, NJ and Albany, NY), it was a nice surprise that Sacramento was actually pretty nice and interesting.

Staying downtown for a few days because my wife is running the marathon.
Dud was trying to drive to our hotel between the afternoon and evening shows by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra at the King’s arena. Took 45 minutes to get halfway around the block.
Classic was Binchoyaki, the izakaya we went to which was awesome. Yakitori, ramen, all good.

The menu at Binchoyaki had so much good stuff.
Any record stores you would recommend near the capitol?

Beers Books on S St. is well worth the stop if you want to unwind in a used book store.

We went to Kicksville and to Beers Books. Both were great! I got Miles Davis’ Water Babies and PKD’s Valis. We went to Bottle and Barlow, which was kind of a hard drinking millennial bar. It was a really fun evening.

Someone told me Scott Miller had a crush on me. I wasn't sure if they were joking or not.
