Out

[ateolf]

In the afternoon, Mary Beth and I went to Paradiso to see a big ol' IMAX screening of Prince's Sign "o" the Times concert movie. (Though I'm not a Prince fan, Mary Beth does like Prince a lot.) I did like when the band came out towards the end of the first song playing marching toms. The dramatic elements were pretty ridiculous and it feels a bit weird watching a "concert" that was mostly recorded in a studio and on a sound stage, but I guess the theater is the point of it. After that I went and met Paul at the Java Cabana as he's back in town on a brief visit. So we talked and hung out for a while and it was great to see him again. Then later Mary Beth and I went to Mark's birthday party at Betsy's and his house. It was a nice back deck hang with a fire pit and everything (even though it was still technically August yesterday, the evening was pretty on the cool side, maybe the fire was hopeful, but it's still fun to be around). Saw a lot of people and hung out and talked and stuff.
