in the afternoon i went to a show at Bryant Lake Bowl in uptown Minneapolis. it was a mashup of two movies starring Kevin Bacon, 'footloose' and 'tremors'. i have seen the former but not the latter, although i found the trailer of the latter on YouTube so i wasn't entirely lost about that part of the mashup. it was more about 'footloose' in the end. it was campy, but not that great, reminds me of some of the fringe shows that i have seen over the years. then there was the server, who kept checking my beer can and sent me the check too soon. i am used to 'dropping checks' near the end of the show, but even a performer admitted aroud that time how it was jsut two thirds of the way through. when asked why i hadn't paid yet, i said 'show not over yet'. it led to me giving a lower tip. i got a can of Hamm's beer. before the show i went to the nearby McDonald's for some ice cream. in the morning i watched a DVD movie, a recent purchase from goodwill, 'o brother where art thou'. as i recall, i got the movie soundtrack from a second-hand store as well. it was the last of the four goodwill purchases to watch. i knew the premise of the story, 'homer's odyssey' in the depression-era south. i recognized George Clooney and John Goodman in this movie. i also listened to both of the jelly roll CDs that i own, it was the first time hearing the most recent, 'beautifully broken'. i wasn't home for long after getting back from the show. i had the evening meal a little early, then went to perform at an open mic. i did stories about a Facebook singles group, two meetup events, the bank, and the show i had just attended. later on, i did the dishes, after getting back from performing. during my walks i found 25 cents.
