directed by Jason Reitman.
Can’t wait to see this, and it doesn’t even really sound like it would be a good movie. “A corporate downsizing expert whose cherished life on the road is threatened just as he is on the cusp of reaching ten million frequent flyer miles and after he’s met the frequent-traveler woman of his dreams.”
That sounds…pretty boring.
But, the trailers are pretty sweet.
Finally going to check out Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are on Monday night. It’ll be a great break from all this writing and editing. AMC Uptown across the street is running it for at least the next couple of weeks. This is one of those instances I’m really glad we live in Clev Park right across from a movie theater…
October 16, 2009, Kid Koala’s back in the DC area. It’s been a few years since his last show at the Rock ‘n Roll Hotel, but ever since that show, Jenny and I have been obsessed.
His music is fresh, innovative, funny, and complex. One of my favorite artists of all time of all genres. And he’s just a little Chinese dude from Montreal.
Jenny and I might have an opportunity to do a short video project on his latest trip to Silver Spring. The promoter at 88 DC is working on the access now… so hopefully things work out.
TICKETS are available for $10 here.
His new project, The Slew, is free to download here.
UPDATE [091013]:
Just heard back from David at 88 DC, and Eric (aka Kid Koala) wants to meet us before the show to discuss the possibility of working on a larger project in a concert hall. Sick!
UPDATE [091018]:
So we met up with Eric, and it was…awkward to say the least. It’s one thing to be early for an appointment, but it’s another story when you feel like you’re imposing when someone has a lot of work to get done.
Thankfully, Jenny and I eventually calmed down, took it easy a little bit, and had some great conversations with him before he went on to perform. There’s a small possibility of doing a video project with him on one of his new graphic novel/soundtrack projects next summer. Hopefully things work out, but either way, it was an amazing learning experience and a great show.
