Pre-weekend Weekend Lunch Invite 81. Shogi Squares
Here's a short week update. The next update will come on
Tuesday instead of Thursday, then the one after that will be as usual
starting on Thursday.
Oh, and my technology destruction rampage continues to continue.
I went to see
Bringing Up Baby
at the
Dryden Theater
last week and the projector just stopped about halfway through
the movie. Then, at the only other movie I saw
(Driver's Wanted
at The Little),
the projector there also stopped -- just a couple minutes
into the movie, though.

- Nutty Professor II: The Klumps -

O'Bagelo's,
165 State Street,
noon.
During the day on
is the
Park Avenue Festival
(Park Ave. from Alexander St. to Culver Rd.)
Keep an eye out for Dean and Faith's (Demon Face, for those
who like in-jokes) band
Elderwilde. I saw them once at the Krown
and thought they were pretty good.
As for the evening, I've got nothing to offer that I've
seen. Here's some random-ish picks:
- Tickle the Taint on the Roof at
The Centers at High Falls
(60 Brown's Race)
because (a) it's the roof and (b) Tickle the Taint
keeps getting gigs.
- Don't Bother the Dog with Last Stand at
Richmonds
(21 Richmond St.)
because (a) Don't Bother the Dog is a cool name and (b)
Richmonds has been getting pretty good bands lately.
- Reverend Horton Heat with Hank Williams III
and Frantic Flattops because
R.H.H. is a pretty good nationally-known act.
- Drinks by Mary Dawn
(535 S. Clinton)
because "everything is $2" from 8 to 11.
I guess this is more of something to just keep in
the back of your mind in case you're short on cash
and long on longing to be pickled.
Prior to heading out for the late night, check out
The Third Man
at the
Dryden Theater
at
George Eastman House
(900 East Ave.)
This should prove to be a sufficiently engaging movie to throw
you off for the rest of the evening. Basically, an American
writer is trying to demystify his friend's mysterious death
in corrupt post-WWII Vienna.
WBER night at
Red
(171 St. Paul.)

The
Park Avenue Festival
(Park Ave. from Alexander St. to Culver Rd.)
continues through today.
Instead of re-runs tonight, see
Wisconsin Death Trip
at the
Dryden Theater
at
George Eastman House
(900 East Ave.)
It's a "true story" of a Wisconsin town that gets hit
with a string of bad luck causing its citizenry to go a bit larky.
Sixty Fields Forever:
- Futurama:
A Head in the Polls -
A couple of clones campaign for the presidency, and Bender sells his body to Richard Nixon, who joins the race.
- King of the Hill:
Old Glory -
After Peggy writes Bobby's school essay about the flag, his teacher chooses him to read his essay during a ceremony.
- Simpsons:
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge -
A jilted bride moves in with the Simpsons and smothers Homer and the children with motherly love, driving Marge mad.
- Malcolm in the Middle:
Funeral -
Exasperated with nonstop complaints, Lois throws in the towel, which leads to the rapid breakdown of family life.

On this day ...

Link of the Week:
NYS DMV
Most of my visits to the DMV have, for one reason or another, sucked total ass.
Their website, however, is pretty well organized. You can even download the important
forms and stuff that are otherwise impossible to find.
Advertising:
Amazon.com gives me money if you buy things through this link, but for music, movies, and stuff, why not go to Record Archive, The Bop Shop, Lakeshore, or House of Guitars instead?
You buy optimizations from GIF Wizard, I get some for free.
