velvet revolver & sin city
Oh Katya.
What would I do without her? The past couple of days, I've been doing things that she loves (or talked me into doing).
Thursday: I went to FoxFest here in Vancouver. Velvet Revolver was headlining, Three Days Grace opened. Wow. It was a ROCK CONCERT! Flashy lights, tight leather pants, screaming singers, mosh pit down below, pot-smoking crowd - it was insane. I had a good time...or I should say: I warmed up to it. I still prefer my music. But every once in awhile a good ol' fashioned rock concert is good for the blood.
Friday: I saw Sin City. http://www.sincitythemovie.com/ Check it out. Cool website.
It's visually amazing. Very graphic and gory (white AND yellow AND red blood...) - but still worth seeing. It's not really something that I can describe, I'd say just go and see it and then we'll talk. After the movie, the four of us walked out of the theatre in a state of shock. We weren't really sure what to say. What had we just witnessed on the big screen? What was that??
Adapted from Frank Miller's graphic novels, SIN CITY uses a unique combination of black & white and color for a dazzling look. A film noir infused with fantasy, Hartigan (Bruce Willis) is a cop who oversees a city filled with demons, players, and criminals (Benicio Del Toro, Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, and more) along with angels, strippers, and vixens (Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Brittany Murphy, and more). This Robert Rodriguez-directed film is loaded with style and grit.
After the movie, we met up with some other friends and went out for a drink. Had a good time...hopefully we'll do it again sometime - different place though. Nothing against Red Robin, haha, but a bit too child-friendly for us right now.
Saturday: Okay, not so "just" Katya, lol. I joined her and Candice at the end of their walk, and then we went to the mall for a bit. Had a nice talk at Bread Garden. Met up with someone else briefly for coffee, then I headed home for dinner. Ordered in Chinese food. It was alright...but I've had better. I usually like the honey-garlic chicken...but it was rather dry tonight. I think now, I'll go and put my pj's on, relax with some tea, and watch the ol' tv. I work tomorrow morning though, and with the time change I won't be up late.
Cheerio,
xo C.
