thor's day

good morning peoples.

so, as promised, without further ado, in a timely manner, i present to you, dear readers, my wednesday night:


firstly, i met up with some work folks at this place called Hallo Berlin to say goodbye to one of them.

it's sort of a beer garden-y place way on the west side of manhattan.

this thing that i am drinking is called the "humpen" i do believe. it cost $12, but it was almost the size of a pitcher, so i forgive myself.

in minot, that would probably cost what, $4? damn, i love that town.

soon it was 8 o'clock and time to get down to pier 54 on the Hudson river to meet up with libby so we could watch a movie.


libby!

they have these free movies all over town during the summer and it's pretty damn great. in fact, nyc has so much free stuff going on this time of year, that i can't even keep up. check out this list of mostly free stuff (stolen from brooklyn vegan) of what is happening just tonight alone:

1) Dinosaur Jr, Broken Social Scene, Radio 4, & Magik Markers (inside - $$)
2) Dinosaur Jr, Broken Social Scene, Radio 4, & Magik Markers (outside - free)
3) Ozomatli in Prospect Park (free)
4) Son Volt / Dr. Dog @ South Street Seaport (free)
5) Calexico in Castle Clinton (free)
6) The Roots @ Hudson River Park (free)
7) Dungen @ Maxwell's ($$$)
8) Tegan & Sara @ Webster Hall ($$$)

but back to last night's film...

what was it that i saw?

here's a clue:


can you tell what it is?

it's a classic from our youth...

well, at least my youth...

here's another shot:


yep, that's right...strange things are afoot at the Circle K,

BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE.

i didn't realize that i pretty much have this whole film memorized for some reason, but it was still fun to see while sitting out in the warm night.

oh, and jane wiedlin (from the go-go's) makes a really cute Joan of Arc.

and there was even free popcorn.

all in all, it was a pretty good wednesday night.
