Summer camp and zip4096-visits

[alexr_rwx]

So yesterday, I had dinner with Brett and Martin, and we saw the film Drawing Restraint 9, by that Matthew Barney fellow, co-featuring, and with music by, Björk. (they're apparently married, and they make a cute couple.) In retrospect, there's a definite story happening, but at first it seems like just a bunch of unusual images, mostly of Japanese people working hard and doing things with great care and precision. But it turns out to be more about ceremony and religious rites... and it's sort of about whales, or at least what people think about whales. I think you'd feel strongly about it (you might even like it!), if you see it. I spent about twenty continuous minutes wincing, towards the end. In a good way.

Also! We hung out and played video games and stuff! It's always exciting to get to see Brett!

Also also! Summer camp starts in an hour! Hooray for summer camp! Also today is the first day of AFDC summer ultimate season!

I've decided never to talk to you or Martin ever again, since Martin knows my beloved devotion to the above mentioned film maker and his lovely wife.

(I might continue to talk* if you could tell me where you saw it at :/)

*but only in emoticons

Egads, that would be a travesty! (also: really? you have loving devotion for Matthew Barney?)

We saw it at Midtown Art Cinema :) Looks like it's still playing.

Would you upgrade us back to talking-to status if I provided you with this link (http://www.movienet.com/drawrestr9.html), a discussion from Mr. Barney about the shooting?

Matthew Barney! And Brett! And Martin! Whoo!

Brett introduced me to Matthew Barney via his Cremaster Cycle, some time ago at FSU. I only saw about 1/6th of it I think...and that was like 5 hours long or something. It was great!

Do you know what the Cremaster muscle controls?

HAhaha! Oh yes, I really appreciated you seeing that with me :) We saw the longest one, hahaha. Remember the cars crushing the one car?

I miss you G, for serious. If'n you ever make it up to the ATL give me a holla!

Yeah I had no idea you were into Matthew Barney, but I'm not all that surprised :)

Have you seen the Cremaster Cycle? Oh how I love "The Order".

Alex!!

It was so awesome to see you and Marin and Andrew too :D

Zesto's afterwards was such a good idea, and then Soul Calibur, and the delicious Thai food before the film... it was a lovely night :)
