Hard Candy breaks teeth
well, Arturo’s film left us feeling so unsatisfied we took off across the city seeking redemption…the kind that only a GOOD film can muster.
we found ourselves at the Lagoon Cinema waiting in line to buy tickets for Thank You For Smoking.
that is, until the ticket gal told us it was nearly sold out and we prolly wouldn’t get to sit together…
thwarted yet again, we stepped out of line and, when nothing else on the lineup grabbed us, headed out the door.
fortunately, as we stepped back out into the rain, we saw the towering spire of the Uptown Theater (and you ask why we LOVE this town).
we got right in to see a film we had no idea what to expect from.
the minute our butts hit the seats the film began…and i don’t think either one of us moved until the credits began to roll.
you’ll just have to see it for yourselves but be informed: Hard Candy may break teeth but it saved our otherwise empty stomachs from cinematic un-fulfillment.

steady as she goes…
A and I stopped by the space on Friday to take some snaps as construction progresses on our future home base.
The building is up and running on the new electrical infrastructure and without any problems thus far.
Here’s hoping the rest goes as smoov.

whew
ok.
thanks to all of our friends and families for your kind support during this tough time.
we love you and thank the gods for each and every one of you.
so now for some better news:
this is a draft of a short “thing” i’m working on for the video wall at work.
i’m calling it mini_full i captured all the footage myself, as well as made the soundtrack for the slightly-less-than-three-minute-long “thing” which i admit is too long but i got a little carried away.
to make the soundtrack, i noodled over the top of the footage on my jazz bass. a three minute chunk of it fit rather nicely, especially when i suddenly and unintentionally started playing “cars” and it all fell into place from there.
a formal “thank you” to gary (just in case you’re reading this)
yeah, right!
at any rate, hope you guys likey.
thanks for hanging in there with us.
