The Blurgh

The North Street corridor is a very happening spot if you’ve never checked it out. Yesterday there was a local film festival held at a place which just reopened called “The Garden.” My dad told me that back in the day it was a porno theatre, which struck me as hilarious, because now it’s a high-brow artsy theatre/gallery type of place. The inside was spectacular, and the films were awesome. Being that I’m a history dork, my favorite one was on all the craziness that was going on after the turn of the millennium, from the Y2K bug to 9/11 to Iraq to global warming finally getting the attention it deserved. That was one crazy-ass decade, and I have to say that I’m not too disappointed that I can’t remember any of it!

After that we went into the park across the street to see the street performers. There was one of those people who paints themselves in metallic paint and acted like a statue, there was a juggler, and there was a really impressive dance group from whereabouts unknown. We could have stayed longer and went to one of the clubs to catch a band, but we decided to skip out early and head home.

On another note, stuff at the Castle has been pretty good, and I finally convinced my manager to put on a Rocky Horror showing on Halloween. I totally promised him that there would be people dressed up and wild for it, which may be a hollow promise because I know absolutely no one at this point who would actually do it. If you have any suggestions, drop me an email!
