For TV-Style Internet Ads You
could soon be seeing a lot more
TV-style video ads appearing
on the web.
Advertisers have been encouraged

quality video, regardless of
connection speed. The company

Seoul Restaurant
Monday Nights
One
of the best-kept secrets
in Austin is Seoul Restaurant
& D.K.'s Sushi Bar
on South 1st near William
Cannon. The Monday night
disco and karaoke is a
must see event, but get
there early because it
fills up quickly.
The real experience of
the night came from D.K.,
the owner/ chef/ disco
star/KJ, who was roaming
around the restaurant
in a huge afro wig, pimp
suit and sunglasses.
"To
say this guy is a character
is a huge understatement.
He talked to every table
in the place, and at about
8 started up the karaoke,
during which he would
stop every couple of songs
to crack really crude
jokes. There are not many
people who could pull
off a lot of the humor
he used, but he had us
on the floor repeatedly.”
