9:01am: Music Monday, St. Patrick's Day Edition
In honor of St. Patrick's Day - this special edition of Music Monday.

I miss the muppets something fierce.

11:55am: The Dungeon Master
Last night I went out to "The Dungeon Master" in Hollywood. It was a very campy, tons-o-fun interactive theater event that wasn't nearly as geeky as it sounds. No wait, maybe it is.

Anyway, I had a great time, not least-wise because of the charming company - but also because the event itself was surprisingly professional; it had a very "Rock Horror Picture Show" kind of atmoshpere about it. I'm determined to go back, it really was an off-beat but very fun event. I wrote a review on yelp.com - which is a great site for finding things to do and places to eat, if you haven't tried it already.

Since this isn't yelp, i'll add that the opening act was pretty awful - other than a good cover of "Anna Ng" by They Might Be Giants, they played soporofic, dreamy folksy music that was probably supposed to sound a little like Joshua Radin. Instead, the songs they did were basically indistinguishable from each other, and the lead singer couldn't refrain from talking on and on and on in between tunes. Points to them for having a flugelhorn and clarinet - but they were severely under-utilized. Nothing says "emo yet remote" quite like a flugelhorn, but the singer wanted to be sure that his guitar dominated every song, so other musicians weren't given much of a chance at the spotlight. Blissfully, it was a short set.

I had a great time. Went home feeling... well yeah.
