weekend in review


  • Friday night swimming, then saw The Civil War at the Red Devil Lounge. They were good with a good crowd too, if I do say so. My friends Tom and Matt B. are in the down home alt-country rock band.

  • Saturday breakfast on Clement with Matt B. and friends from The Civil War, then to the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival all day.

  • Nighttime went with Agnes to hang out with a Mexican friend of hers. Had beers at La Peña near Ashby Bart station in Oakland then went to a co-op in Berkeley, where people were playing SMB2 projected on a wall. Then watched some movie with zombies and John Leguizamo pirated from a Japanese site.

  • Sunday watched Blue Angels with Dort then had a family dinner in Menlo Park.

wait, the one with dennis hopper? i think it's land of the dead. that movie is sweet, although i may be a sucker for zombie movies, cause i also liked ghosts of mars.

yeah, that's the one. it was pretty fun. the imagery of the zombies crossing the river brought to mind immigrants crossing the Rio Grande, or perhaps slaves revolting, as they were led by a black. i think there's some Demolition Man in the duality between the mall-world and the grungy reality others inhabit. dennis hopper is cool.

i heard that dennis hopper has become a republican, which is weird, cause he's clearly parodying a neocon type dude in this movie. i guess if it pays...
