Recent Happenings
Joe sent this to me earlier this week. This uproariously funny Craigslist entry more than makes up for the dozens of weird/random/pointless links he'll sent me on a daily basis. ;-)

Michelle, Steve, and I went to one of my favorite films this year last weekend. The Museum of the Moving Image hosted a couple screenings of "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints." Set and shot in Astoria, Queens, it's loosely based on first-time writer/director Dito Montiel's memoir of growing up in the city. Normally I'd have a tough time getting into a gritty story like this one was, but this film had a lot of heart, and by halfway through you are completely sucked into the story, somehow actually identifying with the characters as a nice change of pace. Mr. Montiel and actor Chazz Palmentari were on hand after the screening(s) for questions. It was a lot of fun.

Also a riot of a time was Wednesday's taping of "Late Show with David Letterman" that Michelle scored tickets to. After being cattle-herded around the theater, inside and out, for a combination of an hour and 45 minutes over the course of the day, we got our seats (which were surprisingly good). I wondered whether it was because we were seeing it live, but I thought to myself at the time, "This show is never this funny." Sure enough, seeing it aired later that night, it wasn't quite the same, but the nonetheless I found that evening's materials (if not the guests) to be very solid. Nothing like getting tater tots shot at you through a pneumatic gun. If you taped the show, look for Michelle and I when they show upcoming guests towards the end of the hour. We are 6-7 rows back, center stage, wearing light blue and teal. Feel free to use the obnoxious goateed guy who sat next to me who's flailing his arms as a reference point.
