Last weekend was a busy one. Saw Warm Bodies Friday night with the boyfriend (the book was better but the movie was cute). Kickboxing Saturday morning. Show at the Kitty Cat Klub Saturday night. Snow tubing in the suburbs on Sunday plus a visit with my Dad. A friend’s birthday party at The Butcher & The Boar Sunday night. Fun times, to be sure. But major stressors were thrown into the mix. Expensive car repairs. Debating whether or not to renew my lease and/or enter into a cohabitation situation. Realizing I need to start booking my 40th birthday party show now! Thankfully things seem to be working out.
Five interesting items of note:
- I am looking forward to this Vivian Maier documentary. Such an intensely private person! The opposite of me, to be sure. But she was so driven and prolific with her photography, only to keep it to herself and never share it with anyone. I’m so glad the treasure trove was discovered.
- Love what A. Lee Martinez has to say here with “Die Hard: The Phantom Menace Legacy“
- Speaking of action movies and whatnot… “How easy is it to knock someone out with a smack to the back of the head? What causes a person to lose consciousness?“
- Also Bruce Willis related…Cinema Tarantino: The Making of Pulp Fiction
- In a different sort of movie news…the Internet Cat Vid Fest is coming back! But to the state fair. During state fair season. At the Grandstand. Huh.
This weekend is shaping up to be just as busy. We’re going to party like it’s 2006! Some old friends are in town (and some no-longer friends, eep) for STNNNG’s new album release show / Modern Radio Records 10th anniversary. It begins with a 5pm house show which leads into simultaneous or slightly alternating sets at both the Turf and Big V’s. It’s going to be one helluva night. Thankfully my son will be staying overnight with his Dad.
