Ever Been?

A good number of Montrose convenience stores play blasting amounts of techno at all hours of the day, but Pak's Food Store on Alabama is the king of random Indian house music at 2 am and 6 am. Grabbing some Bud Light can be a lot more exciting than it sounds some times, and the short film Dance des Fanatiques de Bazarette pays tribute to the dive with a good sense of humor. Directed by Sharad Patel, from the A/V Swap 2006! DVD coming soon...



"Ok so this place is not the cleanest, and it smells a little wierd, but you're guaranteed to have a memorable experience. There is always house music blasting, which goes pretty well I guess with the psychedelic murals. Also, the clientele is very colorful, you might get a little show with your beer stop. Pak's is my favorite corner store, I'll miss my grungy little quick stop when I move." -Kelly D.

that video is sweet. i've been over there late at night- i think they're open 24-7- and it is surreal.

funny...so have i. a good friend of mine lives in the building across the street. the best part was that, during the video shoot, the guy behind the counter was trying to assert his own artistic vision with suggestions for the choregraphy and acting. good times.
