Hollywood Forever: The Princess Bride

It was off to Hollywood Forever to catch The Princess Bride.  It was packed.  The night grew chilly, but was perfect if one had a light jacket or sweater.  Plenty of bathrooms.  Hey, maybe they need to allow in some food trucks -- that might be an interesting add on.

A Movie Review: Obivion

Oblivion. Jack and Victoria are doing some final resource collection from earth. The planet was destroyed when a war between alien invaders and humans broke out.  Humanity won, but needed to leave the planet. 

This was an okay movie, but I left with many questions (spoilers):

1.  We find out towards the end that the aliens actually won the war.  Planet earth was pretty much wiped out with very few humans left alive.. Why did the aliens feel the need to continue to rely on human clones?

2.  Jack seemed to quickly make up his mind that the human rebels were being honest with him.  I don't know, it would take me little longer to trust them.  I mean, my whole existence and reason for leaving was being questioned.

3.  Why would the aliens want Jack to come up to their station in the first place?

Young Creatures at El Cid

Young Creatures had their release party at El Cid.  The crowd was pumped for their friends on stage.  Stage lighting.  Smoke.  The stage show.  It all worked perfectly with the band's passion.

Eastern Conference Champions at El Cid

Eastern Conference Champions hit the stage first.  There was a nice crowd waiting for them; however, nearly everyone was in the back.  Only three of us stood near the stage.  After a trio of songs, a handful of folks ventured closer to the stage and then it was an avalanche as everyone came up close. 

They put on their usual great stage show along with stunning songs.  Mercy, I love this band.

A View of San Francisco: t-shirt

Don't let your fear of the past affect your present.  Live for today and don't dwell on what yesterday has taken away.

Bloody Death Skull at Pehrspace

The New Folk LA Festival held a night at Pehrspace. Bloody Death Skull came on second. The band name seems like a rather violent band name for a band that appears to be full of folks with pleasant personalities.  I ended up being part of the set when their lead singer took a quick rest on my lap.

The mystery:  The lead singer took off into the audience and somehow her microphone wire got tangled up in the ceiling fabric.  How did that exactly happen?

Comment of the set:  How's your shaker?  Is it in tune?
