Look at this adorable video that AZ made for the Best Summer Ever Party.

Wow, what a turnout last night.  Sacramento you are the best.  We soldiered (well, not we, I didn't do anything) through some gnarly technical difficulties which delayed things a bit but it came out ok in the end and led to us selling more beer.  The panel was good, Skinner made a crack that he had eaten a pot brownie earlier in the day which was classic.  I hadn't talked to Skinner much in years and he is really a force of nature, I don't know how else to put it.  He has a crazy new website up if you want to know what he's up to, which is a lot.  Such as turning down an offer from Criss Angel and Tim Allen according to his twitter?

So much going on this weekend.  French Film Festival, which is on the cover of the Ticket (I'm picking up the Bee for my neighbor on vacation), Scouse Gits show at the Blue Lamp, Movies on a Big Screen on Sunday is showing a movie by the makers of Heavy Metal Parking Lot called Heavy Metal Picnic.  Here's the description from the website:

The film focuses on the 1985 Full Moon Jamboree, a weekend field party bacchanal that took place at "The Farm," home to a cast of colorful characters who lived and partied alongside unamused neighbors in the McMansions of Potomac. The Full Moon Jamboree, an affair so raucous that it made the evening news, was the farm party to end all farm parties, and much of it was recorded using a home video camera and a stolen CBS News microphone swiped from the Reagan Inauguration earlier that year. Twenty-five years later, we revisit the scene and meet the people behind the party, as well as the musicians who performed there, including mid-Atlantic doom metal icons Asylum. 


Man, and speaking of movies, the new Woody Allen AND the new Terence Malick are playing at Tower and Meek's Cutoff is still playing at the Crest.  How will I find the time?  Answer: I won't.  My tolerance for Malick has actually gone down in recent years.  Badlands is a stone classic, but other than that, I'm not sure.
