Upcoming Events, Apr 2008

Last month ended up rather well. Thursday Brendan and I went to Big Time Brewing in the U-District to watch basketball and followed up with more of the same Friday at Goldie's in Wallingford. Both places have their respective merits, although 2 corn dogs + fries for $3 at Goldie's is tough to beat, even if the fries are a little greasy. Then again, at Big Time an older guy came in, started talking to Brendan, asked us if we wanted to split a pizza, then paid for it and left.

Saturday was Linda's and back to the VS house for interesting times, and Sunday Vegfest at Seattle Center followed (after a few hours) by my first visit Thai Tom's in the U-District.

This week I should be getting at least a table and a few chairs, bringing the apartment a bit closer to furnished.

There's kind of an unbelievable week starting April 18 w/ Stars of the Lid, Caribou, Hot Chip, and Simian Mobile Disco all playing different venues. Fleet Foxes are actually playing the 18th as well, but I suspect I'll get another chance to see them again (Sasquatch or no) long before Stars of the Lid.

We're finally past the winter doldrums of the film calendar, and there should be a lot of good stuff playing this month. Variety praised both the new Harold & Kumar movie and Forgetting Sarah Marshall pretty highly at SXSW. The Egyptian is showing Alien and Amelie on weekend midnights toward the end of the month, both of which I ought to see.
