Omnibus
So, biggest thing going on with us lately is our big event . Shaping up to be a fun day! In other news, caught 3 concerts this weekend - Rebecca Riots at the Freight in Berkeley. Saturday night, caught El Fay at 12 Galaxies, then BARTed over to east bay for Shelley Doty Xtet at Starry Plough in Berkeley. Love seeing friends play, but it always makes me wonder why I'm not up there...
Counting backwards - saw "Indiana Jones" and "Iron Man" again, at Cerrito. Saw a documentary - Surfwise, about a very unique surf-hippie family originating from OC. Bonnie's choice, it was a family she had had some contact with back in her youth. I'm usually a fan of her movie choices, and going to the movies with her.
On the jobfront, nothing exciting. Nuff said. Oh, actually - there was a screenwriting course I took, sponsored by work. I've been working with this group for a while now, our project for this session has been a bit of a 'master class', and we've put together a collaborative screenplay, which is pretty outstanding. We're scheduled to wrap it up in the next couple weeks, and have a staged reading of it in front of workfolk, I'm really looking fwd to that. Also, refining my script to get a reading.
Band front is a bit rocky - one guy is having a kid & is stepping back from Band duties. One guy has blown out his knee and needs surgery. We'll keep working on stuff, but we've got nothing public for at least 3 weeks. Bummer, especially since we moved into a new rehearsal space and were starting some momentum.
[total aside - I'm sitting here watching PBS as I write this, y'know, I love it, but PBS has a lot of commercial-looking segments in-between shows.] Also an aside, I'm reading a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle collection, much more interesting than I would've believed, knowing what I know about Sherlock Holmes. Now that's a franchise which could thrive, with a Hollywood-size injection of medium+ budget. I have my own take on how the Green Hornet franchise could be a big hit, too :>.
So, Ron Paul was in the news - oh, wait, I'm not getting into Politics here. (except the occasional political humour excursion).
Last month I went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. This month, Bonnie got free tix to a Media VIP day at Great America (another theme park in the south bay). I'm realizing I don't like roller coasters anymore. Maybe it's motion sickness, the knocking around. the upside-down-iness. Well, at least I enjoyed the animal park at Six Flags.
