It’s been a long while since I have updated this thing, almost a month actually. Now I’d like to say I have a good excuse, like I have just been too busy to write anything (which I have), but really, this has just become low on my list of priorities. This is kind of sad, since I used to update this almost daily. Oh well, there are only so many hours in the day.
So I realize I never said much about my New York trip. Basically, it was a really good time (though exhausting, and I was actually doing some work). I got to explore the city a little more then the last time I was there, and I feel like I could really enjoy living in Manhattan (if I could ever afford it). As far as things how things are going with the film, things are going pretty good. It opens in Italy this week and then the US opening is on August 25th. There have been mixed reviews, as to be expected with a film like this, by generally, people who have seen the film seem to dig it. Here is a picture of us at the premiere at Tribeca:
So things at work are going generally good, and we have been extremely busy in the last few weeks. That being said, I need to get some more entertainment related clients (and probably give out less free legal advice), so if you know anyone who needs legal advice, hit me up.
What else is going on? A little this and that.
A lot of the tv shows I watch have ended, so that should get me a little extra free time (which is good). That being said, I started watching the Wire on HBOgo (I didn’t have HBO when the show originally aired) and I think I’m addicted. So far the show is every bit as good as people make it out to be.
I also bought an iPad 2. It is an interesting little machine with a lot of potential. Right now, I use it all the time, but for things that are completely unnecessary. In the future though, it should become a great tool. That being said, I’m really enjoying eBooks, especially all the free classics, but find myself downloading more books then I will have time to read.
As for music, hmm, well I went down San Diego for my birthday to catch Rx Bandits play some beach festival in Mission Bay. They played pretty good, but had a short set cause it was a festival, and the promoters were a little incompetent with setting up the times. On a side note, Rx Bandits recently announced they are going on hiatus, so I am trying to see them a few times this summer before that happens. Coming up this month I’m going to check out Bedouin Soundclash at Galaxy, I haven’t seen them in probably 4 years, and one of my favorites My Morning Jacket at the Pantages (I’m pretty excited about this one). I am also going up to San Francisco for the Asian Man Records 15 year anniversary festival. This should be a lot of fun, seeing some old friends and seeing some bands that have been broken up forever (like Slapstick, the Broadways, and Slow Gherkin). It is going to be very nostalgic, a throw back to my middle school and high school music tastes. As for new records I’ve been digging, lets see, there is the album Rome by Danger Mouse and Daniel Lupi, its an interesting album that is done more like a soundtrack (sort of a concept album). There is also the new Face to Face record, which I’m having fun with, as it reminds of my youth and all the punk rock of the 90′s. Also, the new Fleet Foxes is a really good record, digging this one a lot, and Man Man also put out a funky new album. There is a new My Morning Jacket record coming out tomorrow, which should be awesome, as Jim James is amazing. Lastly, I’ve been really getting into Frank Turner. He has a new record coming out next month, but I have been exploring his back catalog. He is a great songwriter, and what he is all about feels really similar to what I’m about, so I really get his songs.
Anyway, that is all I can think of for now, I will try and update more. Now I’m off to do some gardening.
