Hosting Errors; Live Movie Audio!

I was having the same MySQL and perl errors as so many others had over the last few days. The problem seems to be on the server's side with Moveable Type installs on systems with Cpanel as the main user interface; something to do with moving files around. Problem is apparently fixed (I'm posting again, aren't I?), but I won't be back to my normal schedule until later on tonight.

I will say this.

Foleyvision RAWKS.

A group of friends and I went to go see Foleyvision: SANTO VS. THE MARTIAN INVASION at the Alamo Lake Creek Drafthouse. Good stuff. All the audio is done live: dialogue, music, and FX. These guys (previously known as Buzz Moran's Kung Fu Masterpiece Theater) put on a very funny and well-executed show.

The movie itself is not only classic 60's Sci-Fi schlock...but it's Mexican 60's Sci-Fi schlock. Santo is a famous Lucha Libre who wears a silver mask, upholds justice, and tosses bad guys around with an indefatigable energy. And these bad guys are Martians, consumed with saving Earth from it's stupid destructive people. Done in black and white and with some of the worst acting I've seen since, well...ever.

But the Foleyvision treatment whipped this otherwise dismissable flick into a fun evening. Money well spent. The Drafthouse credited moviegoers $3 if they wore Lucha Libre wrestling masks, but only a few in the crowd had one on. My girlfriend and Cameron did, and I bought one at a booth before we entered.

Woot!

Pictures of what? The movie? Us running around in Mexican Wrestling Masks? Us making fun of every friend who didn't come with us? Me missing the exit to the theater and busting an illegal u-turn not twenty feet from a city cop? Or all of us knocking back Dos Equis at Cameron's place while poking fun at CeCe for getting us rejected at HEB?

Narrow it down, man!
