Support your local artist

The family got together again last weekend at Broad Street Cafe in Durham. Kellin, besides being Malcolm's best friend since kindergarten, is a talented artist and all around nice guy. Bertie drove in from college with some of her friends. It was fun hanging out with the kids. I started watching "The Astro-Zombies" but fell asleep about a half hour into it...that should be some indication of how fascinating it was. I only attempted a viewing because Tura Satana was in it and she was so great in the Russ Meyer classic "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" But, alas, even her presence couldn't liven up this dud. I think we've about exhausted the decent zombie movies and are moving on to 50s Sci-Fi..."The Time Machine" and "Forbidden Planet." Congratulations are in order for Mike's drummer Matt. He and his wife had a baby this weekend...a little girl. Also early congratulations to Mike's bass player Jack. He and Emily are expecting their first baby in March. And while I'm at it, congratulations to Tim and Celeste...expecting in February.
