Gigs, Screenings & Car Crashes: What A Weekend!
The Band is called Elbow. They played one gig in the United States this year.
I went. You didn’t. Sometimes it sucks to be you…
Okay, enough bragging. The gig was incredible. Probably the best concert I’ve seen all year. Three weeks of trying to keep my nefarious plan a secret caused some stress, but proved to be more than worth it as I glanced upon the sweet, suprised look on Cat’s face as we arrived. Priceless. Sleeping Policeman has a nice review that I could’ve written if I’d taken the time (and if I lived in Boston). Will be intertesting to see ‘em on their home turf in London on Nov. 25th while ‘cross the pond for the Disability Film Festival.
Hope we can figure out a way to make it up to see Mat (Fraser’s) gloriously politically incorrect show Thalidomide!! A Musical while we’re over there.
Speaking of disability and cinema, we had a nice screening of the film’s Lormen and Naomi’s Closet and talkback session last night as part of the Margaret Mead Film Festival. Almost didn’t make it. On the way, I got into an auto accident just outside the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. The guy in the SUV who hit my car service driver stepped out of his vehicle (dressed in a tux!) and handed over $400 — on the spot — to keep from filing an insurance claim. Hmm. Come to think of it, maybe my neck is starting to hurt …
Just found out the Neue Galerie is showing an exhibit of Egon Schiele sketches ’til the end of February.
Who else wants to go?
