Yesterday we went to see our first Class A baseball game. A friend was celebrating his birthday in the VIP area with a tasty BBQ, and while we love baseball, the game wasn't very exciting. Luckily, the food was good and the beer was chilled ....

Once we got back home, we watched Burn Notice, Entourage and The Spy Next Door, so it was quite a relaxing day overall. We're ready for another week with plenty of press gigs to attend (Disney stuff, Spider-Man, and a few others).

Yesterday was quite the interesting day. We decided to check out the local Art & Soul Festival. While neither topic is exactly of major interest to us (not that we're cultural heathens or anything), we were mainly there to check out all the street food vendors and ... MC Hammer! That's right, Mr. "Can't Touch This" was performing. While we may be 20 years late, we couldn't pass up on the chance to see his baggy pants hop around stage. Unfortunately, the area was so massivly packed that we didn't see a damn thing. People  even climbed on statues and street poles just to get a glimpse of the performance. Can't figure out why wasn't he on the main stage, which was much larger. After only 20 minutes of hearing MC Hammer, we bailed and went home to watch She's Out Of My League, which turned out to be hilariously funny and even somewhat romantic.

Last night we entertained some friends for dinner, wine, and a movie. A good time was had by all.

We watched The Fourth Kind with Milla Jovovich and Will Patton, which was much better than we'd anticipated. Whether or not you believe in what transpired, it is quite interesting and was left open for interpretation. It had us discussing for quite a bit afterward, analyzing the movie, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and so forth. It was fueled by wine and beer, so it was quite fun either way.

All Points Bulletin (APB) takes the universal theme of Criminals and Enforcement and brings it to a persistent, open world multiplayer setting in a modern, crime-ridden city. Earlier this week RTW went into admininstration, laid off part of its staff, but vowed to keep support for APB rolling with patches and keeping the servers up. Today RTW re-hired part of the staff it let go earlier this week, so things might be looking up, if only slightly.
