The TIme, she is short...
Basically, I get shang-haied starting on the 7th and it doesn't end until I'm back from England on the 31st. I'm excited, terrified and utterly unprepared. Luckily, good folks have stepped up and made things much much easier.
I still gotta buy pounds. Not sure where to do that around here without paying Airport Exchanger fees. Gotta works on dat one.
As a reminder, I'm in and around London from the 15th through the 19th, and then there's a whole lot of Eastercon goin' on. Looking forward to the Dr. Who exhibit which a bunch of us will be doing on the 20th!
Wedding on Friday was awesome. Ken and Jerry put so much hard work into it and it turned out amazing. THe food was top notch, the facility was awesome and everythign went well. Linda made a Beer bouquet, which she later caught. The most fun wedding I've ever been to, though that total number is only 5 as of today.
I did Cinequest this weekend. I enjoyed the Aeriel with Linda and my buddy Neil. Very trippy and experimental. It went along very nicely with The Saddest Music in the World, which I've been watching lately. Linda and I had dinner at Askew. The food is really good there. I hope they have the Butternut Squash soup sometime when I'm down there. That stuff is plain good.
Yesterday I saw The Eternal City, which was kinda like Fellini's There's Something About Mary. I liked it, some really good acting and a great White Suit. I mean really, it was an awesome suit.
Since they were short an announcer, I announced for Disfigured, a very black black comedy-drama that was heavy at the same time as being entertaining. I loved the acting, very strong indeed. The director seemed to really like the announcing I did, which is always nice to hear. I thought is was a good movie, but there were moments that were just wrenchingly difficult to experience.
I had been asked to announce Sherman's Way and I did. Since it was at the Rep, I couldn't watch all of the film, but it had James La Gros in it and the amount I got to watch was very entertaining. Those filmmakers, who had requested me, also said they enjoyed the announcing and the Q+A was very entertaining, but it was all them and all I did was stand there waiting to put the mics back!
In-between movies, I got a phone call requesting that I announce someone else's movie. I was shocked as I've never gotten calls about doing the theatre announing before. Sadly, it's while I'm watching Evelyn tonight, so I can't do it.
After that was the Tenacious D film. It was a very good concert tour film. I was very impressed with the rawness of it and Kyle Gass was there! He was really funny and I talked to him for a minute or two. Afterwards there was a party and I went and chatted for a while before I headed out to the home and the sleep I so needed.
Good weenkend.
