Mates Show

Throbbing Gristle

So it is just a few days away. I'm heading to SF on Thursday looking forwasrd to the show.

Anvil movie

So I took my wife to see Anvil, The story of Anvil this weekend at the Varsity in the U-District.

First the U-District has gotten much sketchyer at night. I haven't been there in a couple of years at night time. We ate at a Falafal joint a couple of blocks from the theater and the collection of drug dealers/users and random homeless was massive, They left us alone, but the reports of muggings recently made me wary.

The movie was great, a little slow, gave a good history of the band and a look into their lives a couple of years ago. Debbie was overcome with the bleak outlook, but I assured her fame has sort of returned for them.

So we went to the movies...

To see the 3d version of "Monsters vs Aliens". It was quite good. Go see in the theaters in 3d or Imax 3d if you can. The comic relief of both Hugh Laurie and Seth Rogan was perfect.

After we headed to see Fast and Furious. Not in 3d, though that would have helped. They spent too much time talking and no enough driving fact cars and smashing them up. Being that I am male I still want the 1970 Dodge Charger from the movie or any of many of the cars in the film.

i'm lame

So I was going to go out last night, then I stayed home and watched movies instead.

When people are afraid of clowns

Mates of State/ Black Kids, Loaded

My wife got us tickets to the upcoming Mates of State/ Black Kids show Apr. 17th at Nuemos. The Mates have a mashup that was done by DJA of Mad Decent here .

This Thursday Loaded has their record release at the new Crocodile in Belltown. I think I might actually make it out to this show. I like the first single that has been getting a little airplay this week.
