Stuff

We did make it to Dark Sky after dinner at Iguana Cantina last night (yum)! I really liked Forever's Fallen Grace - take Iron Maiden and mix in a tiny bit of cookie monster vocals and some Joey Belladonna. They were a lot of fun! Coven of 13 was - different- than the last time we saw them. Their singer was off-key and didn't look at the audience at all (she just kept facing either side of the stage, dancing kind of in her own world. Its too bad, because she was definitely enthusiastic. Hanging out with friends old and new is always good. We missed the last band in favor of getting at least 6 hours of sleep; I had a meeting this morning and had to be presentable for it.

On the way there we picked up the new Alice Cooper album, "Dirty Diamonds". Its got an old 70's Alice feel to it and I love some of the songs, find some to be just Eh, and really can't stand some others. All in all, not bad for $11. He seems to embrace the cheezy Alice stuff and push it a little too hard in this album, but I'm not disappointed. We also picked up the "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" soundtrack. Its got the awful, scary catchy opening song, the various Oompa Loompa songs and the score. Gotta love Danny Elfman!

It should prove to be a busy weekend. Brian and I have a date on Moody (or something) tonight. HE'S NOT ON CALL FOR ANOTHER FIVE WEEKS! Let's celebrate! :)
