Yesterday after work, Will and I met with a new Realtor. She is awesome. I'm really excited to be working with her. Looking for a house is a weekly (or daily) on-again off-again decision for us, and I was ready to be off-again, but we recently had to renew our lease, so we signed on for another 6-months and will continue to look for houses until then. Fingers crossed! We're looking at houses that would cost as much as rent right now, so our focus is narrow and bottom-of-the-barrel, but it's still tough, and even competitive, to find something in Minneapolis right now.

Anyway, after our meeting, we went to Big Brain so I could get the latest Jeffrey Brown book (1/4 of the way through it right now) and caught Michael Drivas in this ridiculous mustache:

With his glasses, he looks just like he's wearing a disguise. I was so giddy. His explanation was something like, "I don't know what happened, it just left the house today." What serendipity.

Then we went to Grumpy's for dinner and I took this picture of Will:

Then Will taught me how to take the camera out of digital macro mode, and I said, "Thanks."

DRIVAS!!!! I know that guy! From back in the day, the Oak Street Cinema days, mostly. I <3 Big Brain! I will have to visit when I'm up.

which reminds me - what are things I need to do/visit when I do come up, particularly that might be new in the last 8 years since I was last there? any suggestions welcome. I figured you would have good ideas!

I want to visit the center for book arts, walker, art institute, paper source.

:)

Hell's Kitchen moved, and I really like their new location. Hm...walk down St. Anthony Main? Visit Big Brain? Play BINGO at the VFW? Get ice cream from Blue Sky Creamery? Dance on Saturday at First Ave?

Have fun in Minneapolis! I love it here.

I told him he looked like Mario.

Glad you blogged about the Creative Screenwriting podcast. I love it, especially the Wall-E and Milk eps. Just saw Star Trek today, loved it, and am looking forward to hearing the screenwriter talk about it!

Oh, man, isn't young Spock so dreamy? I loved Star Trek. The Creative Screenwriting interview with the writers is really good -- one of the podcast's best so far, I think. I like how they talk about working as a team for so many years. Very inspiring.

Mike's mustache has always been a phenomenon of nature.
