Sometimes I drive to run from all my demons

Anyway, so.

Saw The Matrix Reloaded at the Navy Pier IMAX Thursday night. Today's the last day, if I remember right, and it's more than worth the $14 admission charge. Ok, maybe not more. But around that. Makes a hell of a lot more sense the second time around, too, but this might also be due to the better sound system not obscuring the fairly heavy accents of some of the characters.

Yes, I'll probably be seeing Revolutions there, too. Maybe this time I can actually persuade The Ghettofabulous Jessica into coming with.

Also saw Meshell Ndegeocello at House of Blues on Friday night. First time I'd been in the place; it's actually not a bad venue for a show. I'd have preferred one where the headliner's set was longer than the opening act's, but I'm just funny that way. And Soulive wasn't bad, really, just not what I was looking to hear. . .

Oh, and if you've heard any nasty rumors about Meshell and drugs. . . I'm not a bit surprised.

I didn't really enjoy Reloaded on IMAX. Too f-ing big, man.

House of Blues is one of the better venues in Chicago. I wore out a lot of sole at that joint. Looking forward to Meshell at the end of the month. If I can get the funds together.

I got Matrix Reloaded on DVD the day it came out! I had to congratulate myself, since it is the 1st contemporary movie I've bought in ages. I also saw it on IMAX - my 1st IMAX movie.

Was not disappointed.

j, the only things that bothered me about House of Blues were the shortage of tables and the fact that my Vodka Red Bulls cost $8.50 apiece. I mean, damn.

Hope you can scrape up the cash for the show. When she was on, she was good.

ej, I'm sure that's a euphemism for. . . huh, guess I'll just have to pick up the new cd and find out.

Laura, coolness. Think you'll see Revolutions the same way?

And how are the extra features on the DVD? Haven't picked it up yet. And have little reason to, since I still haven't got a DVD player. . .
