LATE night

B2Keno 12.7

So, yesterday was more like it, weather-wise. I had my meeting on Phinney Ridge in the morning and biked a little bit going to and fro; when I got home, Otis was already back from her doctor's appointment, so we loaded up the scooter and headed over to Carkeek Park with a little lunch. There was a spectacular veiw of the Olympics to be had, the sky was clear, the sun was warm - it couldn't have been better.

In the afternoon, Otis gave a massage to the woman who bid on her services at the Phinney Neighborhood Auction; the visits will hopefully result in some future business.

Scotty Tuxedo came over in the early evening and we all went up to the Crest to see V for Vendetta. At the theatre, we hooked up with Soapy and Slim Pickens *(I could never get straight who was Slim and who was Pickens), busker pals of Scotty. (It seems Jimbo-5 was in the audience as well, but had to flee back to real-estate woes and never met up with us.)

For afters, we headed to the grand Lake City Starbucks to meet Johnbai and Dingo for lies and reminiscences. At about 11:00, Slim Pickens and Soapy bailed out, but the rest of us soldiered on, winding up at A Pizza in the U-District, where we held court until about 1:00 am. (They close at 4:00!) Yowza!

Withal, I was still up at 6:30 this morning to take care of business. Sheesh.

Now, as promised: Annoying Animated Gif Week continues, highlighting one of the chorus boys from yesterday's feature in his very own solo:

Yes, it's Spider-man, doing, the... the.. the whatever-the-heck-that-is!

*Slim Pickens is actually the delightful Annie and Jake, who perform in the Pike Place Market and elsewhere. Check them out and look for them at the market or at shows.

How about Wolverine doing the Macarina? Now that's an annoying GIF I'd like to see!

Sorry I didn't hook up with you guys, but a "home-selling crisis" popped up (don't ever buy a condo...don't ever buy a condo), but two things stayed with me that night...
1) a trailer for "Expiration Date"--I did a week of foley work on that last year. Never thought that thing'd get released, though I noticed there wasn't a studio attached to it. Thought there was some very funny things throughout it.
2) You know that scene in "A Thousand Clowns" where Jason Robards describes the thousand circus clowns getting out of a tiny car? That kinda describes the antic chaos that was the Movie Night crowd cavorting down the aisle and getting situated during the previews. Quite the sight.
