Jun. 24th, 2012 10:24 pmYesterday afternoon, Jean and I saw Brave. As always with Pixar, I loved it. As And, as always with that sort of story, it never goes the way you want, but it always turns out okay. There were a bunch of kids in the audience (as would be expected at a Pixar movie on a Saturday afternoon), but it was fun. The kids obviously got a kick out of the movie.
Last night, I drove up to Philly to see Common Rotation play with Dan Bern at the Tin Angel. They played there February of last year, so I had an idea of where I was going and where to park (even though the parking price was insane, it's downtown Philly). Adam wasn't with Jordan and Eric because he'd still been filming for "Men at Work"* through Thurdsay. Eric and Jordan played for about twenty minutes as Dan Bern's opening act, then they came on a few songs into Dan's set and played with him for about an hour and a half (similar to what the guys did last time). Much like last time, Dan Bern didn't do anything for me. I'm not really sure why. After the show was over, I got to say hi to Jordan as he was on his way to work the table. I did get to talk to Eric for a bit (and he hugged me) and found out their new album's coming out in the fall. (Hopefully.) I would've stuck around to talk to Jordan, but I ended up leaving because I needed fresh air. But it was good to see the guys perform, even if it wasn't all three of them, or for very long. (Which Eric apologized for, since he knows I have to drive a ways for most shows, but I told him I was glad to do it.)
Then today I met up with one of the ladies from my knitting group and we went down to Vulcan's Rest to check out their sales. I was looking for some yarn, but didn't really find anything that fit what I wanted and would fall into either of the sale categories. So I asked about their sales for next month and found out they're doing 20% off one of the brands and then will be doing 50% off all reds, whites, and blues on the 15th, so I figured I'd go down then, since I think I'll need a maroon. (I'm still waffling on that project.)
*I highly recommend "Men at Work". It's a sitcom on Thursdays on TBS at 10 (and I don't usually like sitcoms!). It's very funny and also has Danny Masterson from That 70s Show.
