UV Breakfast Delayed!

Oh shoot! We were really trying to roll out breakfast this weekend at UV, but unfortunately we are still waiting on some critical equipment to make everything run smoothly. Hopefully next week, but we’ll keep you posted!






Breakfast at boom UV coming soon!

We just went through a little run-through for breakfast at the U-Village location and we should be good and ready to go the weekend of the 17th and 18th of July.  For those of you have been wondering what breakfast at boom will be like take a look at some of the snapshots of a few items you can expect to find.  We’re looking forward to seeing you.

Boom UV Now Open

Okay, a grand opening announcement without a picture to go along with it is just wrong, but fear not we will have some soon.  We had a fun soft opening yesterday in the day followed by an opening to the public which was great primer for our first full day of being open.  Hope to see everyone soon.

Looking for boom?  It’s on the south side of Barnes & Noble.

More to come…stay tuned!






boom UV - meet Yuri Kinoshita

yuri-kinoshita

About a year ago we were introduced to an incredible lighting designer from Japan named Yuri Kinoshita. At that time we didn’t have a project that suited her talents, but this year with the creating of boom in the U-Village we asked if she would be willing to create some of her art and she said yes! Take a look at the progress of the first piece recently finished.

(And sorry for the crappy resolution. I don’t get why flip video struggles with compression the way it does)






Zombies, SIFF and ramen…it makes perfect sense.

A few night ago around 50 zombies invaded the boom SIFF lounge as part of a celebration of George Romero’s new zombie movie, “survival of the dead.”

Now really, would these fine folks make you uncomfortable at one of the communal tables? Nah…






RIP Gary Coleman

Life isn’t all about ramen, RIP Gary! gary-coleman-arnold






You know you’re famous when…

You have your own brand of instant ramen in Japan–and you’re not Japanese!

Yes, Ivan, you have more than arrived. To this day we still owe a lot to Ivan Ramen. When Chef Hunt first started to dig into the world of Ramen making Ivan was kind enough to take him under his wings. Seeing this shot of his Instant Ramen (provided by Jay at Gastrolust) was truly inspiring.

Looks like it’s time for a trip to Tokyo to give it a try.






SIFF begins! We’re looking forward to another great year.

Seattle may not have a masters program in film, but at least we have SIFF! Once again we are proud to be a SIFF sponsor and look forward to seeing all of you film fans at boom for some good times at the official SIFF Lounge. Watch a movie then come on by for some food and drink. In the meantime, have a look at the trailer for this year’s festival.






The next boom gets underway.

Well, the new space in UV was just turned over to us this month so here we go. This is always the fun part–staring at an empty shell. In three months we’ll be freaking out-trust us.






Get some tax day relief at boom today–you deserve it.

Sure it’s great to give money to the government once a year to ensure we’re all doing our part, but it never feels like philanthropy, does it?

Well, we have decided to offer a little pick-me-up today. Mention this blog post and receive 15% off your food bill and sapporo on tap for $2.50.

Hopefully that will help take the edge off.
