R.I.P. Hilly Kristal

Got word today while at work that Hilly Kristal, founder of CBGB's died today.

His passing, much like the closing of his venue... saddens me to no end. I often wonder why I don't grow a pair and open up a venue of my own.

Join me if you can by spinning Television, the Talking Heads or the Ramones.

Where did the Summer go?

While driving home this afternoon, I got to thinking.... "where did the Summer go?".

Unlike last Summer... things are going incredibly well for me. I'm excited about an upcoming project @ work and after discovering a few new haunts in San Antonio, the city has become a lot more interesting.

With all the goodness going down, I think thats the reason that the summer feels to be slipping away.

In other news, I got around to watching some recent Summer releases.

Becoming Jane : Caught this a few nights ago... I don't know how many liberties they took with Jane Austin's life - but the film was very enjoyable and as romantic drama's go, it's been one of the best I've seen in recent memory. I didn't enjoy it as much as ONCE... but would recommend it to anyone hoping to watch something with a little merit.



Superbad : Caught this, late Sunday evening... there's hundreds of glowing reviews online for the picture, so I won't spend too much time giving it anymore praise.



I found it to be a little slow at times, but it was a total knee slapper. Knocked Up, however remains as my favorite Summer comedy.

Dead Pool Update

Weeds Season 3

Just occurred to me that the third season of Weeds kicks off Monday night... I've read a number of articles regarding actors whom are going to do some guest spots this season. I'm hoping that the show doesn't loose its way after broadcasting one of the greatest seasons I've ever seen.

Anyhoo... if you have Showtime - tune in.

R.I.P. Tony Wilson

Founder of Factory Records - Tony Wilson - died yesterday, due to Kidney Cancer complications...


While I was far to young to truly appreciate his impact on music in the late seventies and early 80's - His contributions to music and and art are unparalleled.

You will be truly missed Tony.
