Yes, but have you seen the film? I'm looking for a word-of-mouth endorsement. In the meantime, a quick check of rottentomatoes.com shows mostly negative reviews
I love Man or Astroman. I've seen them several times, although the last time I saw them I thought they were too loud. My ears hurt. I thought it was a sign of age. But my Denver friends complained of a similar problem. But if you like punk rock-surf rock, you can't do much worse than Man or Astroman.
I stand by Utica Club. Although even Utica Club has its limits. I met a friend last night who informed me that the Lark Tavern has Utica Club on tap, and I said, "You know what? I really want Sam Adam's Summer Ale." I just wasn't in a UC mood.
I like the quilt idea, although I'm not sure that's something I'm capable of doing. But you're right - old t-shirts really remind me of events and places and experiences I don't want to forget, but they basically sit in a garbage bag on a closet shelf. So I think creating a quilt to display them is a neat idea.
I'll be honest - I have a garbage bag filled with old t-shirts from camp and St. Paul's Advanced Studies Program and various other things. I plan to hang on to them for awhile longer.
The only type of festival I can still tolerate is a music festival. And most of the time I'd rather just see a band in a club and go home and sleep afterward. But the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in Ancramdale is always a lot of fun. I've been to it twice, just for a night, leaving early in the morning so I don't get charged for parking. A really laid-back atmosphere, surprisingly good food, and great music, especially if you like bluegrass.
I forgot about Made! You're right - that was Favreau's first movie, followed by Elf. Vince Vaughn and Puff Daddy are both in it. And Puff Daddy is great!
The best thing about the War Between the Pitiful Teachers and the Splendid Kids is the title. What kid wouldn't want to read a book with that title? It's not that the book itself is so bad - it's just that it can't live up to the title.
I don't think of Ray Bradbury as children's lit, even though I read a lot of him in middle school. Maybe Fahrenheit 451 is such a timeless classic that it transcends the children's lit label.
