College Girl: I’m so lonely!
Daryl: How could a righteous babe like you be lonely?
College Girl: That’s the sweetest thing anybody’s ever said to me!
Daryl: Really?
College Girl: Wanna go to bed?
This week, I’ve executively decided, we’re going to let the spirit of the seminal 1987 classic “Adventures in Babysitting” carry us through what is looking like a rather epic weekend (adventure). The kind of weekend that may actually result in you taking a week or two off afterwards as a result.
Lets start out with the (probably) one of the best opening sequences ever committed to film:
Wasn’t that awesome?
Ok, here we go:
THURSDAY
I’ll keep Thursday simple:
-either go see SPINDRIFT and then thank me later
or
-go to the Cat for both Glasvegas/Ida Maria (if you have tickets that is) AND/or for Say Hi
Or stay home, watch “30 rock”, watch the game and sleep.
Because, lets face it, you’re gonna need it.
And….If you see Dakota Fine out and about-wish him a happy birthday. Buy him a taco. Or both.
FRIDAY
Chris: [to Joe Gipp] Where are we going?
Daryl: To hell! Kind of exciting, don’tcha think?
This week in hell, we recommend:
-NOMO
-The Team Facelift / Will Eastman Juggernaut @ LODA
-the inevitably already sold out Hirshhorn afterhours
-Primal Scream
-EFFING Yahowha @ Velvet
-Found Footage Film Festival
-DXS
Are we noticing a pattern here?
THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON.
Plus, the cherry blossom festival kicks off tomorrow so you may as well squeeze in a visit to the Mall before it starts being taken over for the season.
And remember: “Nobody leaves here without singing the blues”
SATURDAY
Daryl: This is weird.
Chris: You’re weird.
Daryl: HAHAHAHAHA!
It the Kite festival day.
And everyone loves the kite festival (well, at least I do)
Aside from that:
-ARTINI
-Ponytail & Screaming Females (awesome! and blissfully, an early show allowing for party hopping later)
-Deleted Scenes
-GAROTAS SUECAS (free!!!!!)
-100th (!!!) BLISS
-Asobi Seksu
-this
and more.
Are we noticing a pattern here?
THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON.
I can’t pick anything anymore.
SUNDAY
Naps and more naps?
Maybe some quality one on one time with Edie?
Then, next week, we start back at the beginning.
comments and more ….NOW
great. now all i want to do with my life is watch adventures in babysitting. well there goes any hopes of productivity for the rest of the day.
March 26, 2009 at 4:06 pmwhen i was little i always wanted that to happen to me when i had a sitter. than then when i used to babysit i always wanted a reason to have such an adventure. it never happened.
saturday i’m going to be at driving school. i miss the kite festival every year.
March 26, 2009 at 4:14 pmi think staying in and watching this on repeat MAY be the answer to making any decisions this weekend
March 26, 2009 at 4:25 pmgeorge jones is playing the patriot center on saturday night at 7:30. there’s an $18.75 two-for-one ticket deal going on.
and you know what’s sort of near the patriot center? the nra museum! which has a ‘guns of the old west’ exhibit! and (allegedly) a shooting range.
that sounds like a great saturday date plan to me – kites, old-timey guns and george jones.
March 26, 2009 at 5:37 pmWVAU <3s BYT fo eva.
March 26, 2009 at 6:39 pmwas looking forward to debuting my deadstock He-Man and Jem kites on Saturday
but the weather looks dreadful for both Sat and Sun
too bad, hope the event reschedules
Shit. I forgot about George Jones.
March 27, 2009 at 9:30 amdon’t sleep on Vincent D’Onofrio as Mr. Dawson (Thor!!!!) … great flick. that’s when the crush on Elizabeth Shue began.
March 27, 2009 at 10:40 amthe best scene is obviously where’s liz shue’s frizzed bff (an obvious precursor to kim gibs) is harshly evicted from the photo booth (aka the homeless man’s dwelling complete with slippers)
March 27, 2009 at 11:22 amPenelope Anne Miller!
what’s that monsters in a museum movie she was in afterwards? RELIC!
so many movies I obviously NEED TO own and I don’t.
March 27, 2009 at 11:33 amif you can’t get into the Hirshhorn Afterhours – come get dirty with CLP, Team Facelift, Will Eastman, Scotbot & Smudge at Loda!
or just come on up after you leave – we’re planning on getting silly all night long.
btw – congrats to will and the blisspop crew on their 100th party tomorrow! thats an accomplishment that you guys should be really proud of.
whatever you guys choose to do this weekend – make sure you get outside and do something in the sun!!!
