This kid was on Conan O’brian last night playing some Eric Clapton songs… and it wasn’t on Guitar Hero…

He was freakin incredible. And he’s only 8!

Why oh why couldn’t my parents have put a guitar in my hands when I was 3?

Here he is on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qizRvpYHmrw&feature=related

Saw The Dark Knight today with Kathleen… Amazing. Can we all just agree to pretend that those previous Batman movies don’t exist (not counting the original 60’s version of course)?

I haven’t been to the theatre to see a movie in a very long time. Spent $30 (why I never go), and it was completely worth it. Although, we almost watched it from 10ft away from the screen, in which case I probably would have hated it. Luckily Kathy suggested we just walk over to the next screen which was starting 30 minutes later (thank you…) , where we promptly went to the top row of seats.

I know it’s completely crazy… but I’m really hoping that conspiracy theory about Heath Ledger faking his death is true…

I recently took up painting… here is my first attempt:

It was inspired by Burning Chrome… this is my second attempt:

This is Molly from Neuromancer. I took it from a cover of the book.

Also, this weekend, we went to a fund raiser at the Paste Magazine office on Friday, and then went to Brickstore Pub where we met Anjolina Jolie’s Brother, who Liz is doing some design work for…

Kathleen and I are currently reading Neuromancer in our “book club,” and I’m really enjoying it. So I was reading some stuff about William Gibson and came across this (iMDB).  So far they only have one actor signed on, Hayden Christensen, as Case no less.  I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed with a casting decision. And the director looks less than promising as well.

On Monday we were suprised with free tickets to the Spoon/Walkmen show that had been sold out at least since we tried to buy them almost 2 months ago.

Two bands I really like. It was great.

Also, it was the first show I’d been to at Center Stage, which I really liked.
