Kevin's musings

Just got back from the tannahill weavers show down at swallow hill.. I got broncoed again on the drive down, the stupid game was letting out and there was a wreck right around the stadium area, but despite that I made it to the show in time.

It was an excellent show and as always a nice venue. They played a pretty nice long set and then had an intermission and then another set. They had some nice interaction with the audience, telling stories and jokes. You could tell the piper was struggling with the lack of air here, but he did very well despite that.

If they are going to be anywhere near you, I reccomend you see them!

The BBQ last night went pretty well. Had a good turnout and some good conversation. I made some roasted elephant garlic to spreading on crackers, and it was quite yummy. I also broke out some many year old mead that had been aging in the basement that was quite yummy. I forgot to take any pictures of the festivities. Oh well.

Today I was meeting tkil and delirumdreams for the 1:45 showing of mirrormask. I didn’t get to the theatre until about 2pm. The stupid worthless broncos were having a game and I25 was a total parking lot. Since I don’t usually go down I25 on sunday afternoons, it wasn’t something I looked up beforehand. Yet another reason to loathe the broncos.

Mirrormask was pretty good. I need to see it again so I can see the first 5minutes, but I still enjoyed it. As others mentioned the visuals were very very well done. The story wasn’t great, but it was ok as a framework to hang the visuals on. I can see owning a copy of it so I could watch it a number of times and catch lots of things I missed just because the visuals are so rich. So, not a great movie, but a good one.
