Hitchhiker's and other stuff

[jwgh]

I ended up going to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I enjoyed it; an odd thing I noticed about my reaction to it is that the one thing that consistently made me laugh was the doors. Did other people react similarly or am I just a freak?

Got a show tomorrow (that is Saturday the 21^st) in East Greenwich at Main Street Music (165 Main Street). We'll play for an hour starting at 11 am, then (theoretically) starting at noon we'll be leading a jam. It will all be acoustic (there will be no soundboard at all), so it will be interesting to see how it goes. It will also be the first time I've lugged my piano down the stairs from my apartment (and back up again after the show), which should be something.

One of the folks in the dance band (Ed the percussionist) is going to become a father pretty soon, so I've been thinking about baby-related knitting projects ... I'm well on my way to finishing a teddy bear (I expect I'll finish it, or mostly finish it, this weekend) and I think maybe a baby blanket will be next. (kerri9494 provided some advice on what might be most useful, and I'm also going to consult my sister and her husband.) We'll see how it goes.

I should go to bed so I can be (relatively) fresh for tomorrow's show, but I think I'll stay up fifteen more minutes for On The Media to complete. I should make a point to have some sort of breakfast in the morning so I won't be playing on an empty stomach.

Maybe I'll do some post-gig walking around in East Greenwich since I'm not down there too often ...

For once there's no band practice on Sunday, so I will have the day to myself. Some of this will be spent maintaining web sites, but I also hope to do some music stuff, such as working on a recording of some lyrics recently written by plorkwort. (Practice has been moved to Monday this week.)

Say hello to East Greenwich for me this morning. Went to high school there. Shudder.

[jwgh]

I will deliver your regards for sure.

East Greenwich said it was totally just talking about you the other day and it would totally love to get together with you sometime and catch up on everything. I was noncommittal.

Oh, except actually Chris Monti reminded me that the Monti clan themselves lived in East Greenwich for a while and he wondered if you remembered any of his sisters from high school. I believe their names are Caroline, Rosanne, and Alex.

Um. Maybe? I was in highschool there for 3 years, from 95-98. If I knew any of them, I didn't know them very well.

Fair enough. When Chris mentioned this, he said, "Usually when you ask that kind of question you either get, 'I have no idea who you're talking about' or 'Oh, yeah! I really hated her!'"

There's a moderately-funny salute to buttons and doors in the Easter eggs of the "Incredibles" DVD. Look for Omnidroid icons on the second disc.

I think Mez and I giggled every time they opened and closed.

That was fairly amusing, wasn't it?
I liked the mice.

I also liked the yarn.
