We also had our neighborhood night out. It's supposed to be this Tuesday but someone decided to have it on a Saturday night instead of during the week. In my opinion it just defeated the purpose. I wanted to celebrate it as a city wide event. Anyways, it was alright, it could of gone better. As always with my block i was the youngest one there.

Yesterday we headed over to Santikos Bijou for the Houston Film Commission's Texas Filmmakers Showcase 2012. It's a showcase of seven short films from Texas' filmmakers. It had a little bit of everything but I swear not even I understood/liked a couple of them, and I'm a big artsy person. Oh well, that's why they had different kinds. My favorite was The Order of This by Chris Spisak. It's about this guy who gets arrested after a confrontation with his girlfriend. Like always there's two sides to every story and....*spoiler alert* it turns out he killed her and i guess he went nuts because he's seeing her even in his cell in the looney bin. It reminded me of Criminal Minds, which is cool. Aftewards they had a Q&A with a couple of the filmmakers there so it was pretty cool.

Dinosaur Stampede at SABOT
This is the opening weekend at the SABOT for the Dinosaur Exhibit. It is great for the family to take the kids because there's plenty to do. There's an obstacle course, face fainting, they can make dino masks and so much more. The display itself runs until Dec 30--they are life size so cool. The only bad thing is that they are stretched out the length of the garden & that's a lot of walking. I could only do half of it because i wasn't ready for it. Make sure to wear comfortable/cool clothing & be prepared to do plenty of walking (that's a good thing)--it's one of those all day things, so take your time, be comfortable & enjoy the experience. I'll probably go back for the second half.
The Festival People en Espanol is going on this weekend at the Henry V Gonzales convention center. The concerts are at night at the Alamodome. Check out the website for a full itinerary.
Tonight at the Shops at La Cantera there's a jazz concert featuring Vincent Ingala. He's this awesome saxophonist who's on the rise--and he's only 19.
Plenty to do this weekend, so get out there & get active, don't spend it indoors, get a move on...

James Rollins' book signing
So Thursday I headed over to the Barnes & Nobles at La Cantera to go to my first book signing, and by an author whose books I've never read but it's never too late to pick up another author. Hopefully I'll like his style of writing;it combines history, science and the supernatural, so we'll see.
It was hard to believe but it actually started on time & everything. Before it started, one of the booksellers was handing out post-its for us to put a personalized message, i gues to make it easier for him and speed things along. The first 35 minutes or so were of him introducing himself, his writings & how he got started and then there was a Q & A session. He seemed to be pretty down to earth, funny overall a nice enough person. Then we proceeded, row by row to get his autograph & take pictures if we wanted to. Of course I took a picture with him, it turned out to be a good one for once.

Went to see this movie today and I have to admit I liked it. It has two of my favorite themes: history & vampires. Sure, the idea that Abraham Lincoln was a hunter on the side is preposterous, but it was a fun movie. The battles scenes were pretty cool and I loved the historical references, like when Lincoln met Douglas, their debate, the battle of Gettysburg & the speech. It had plenty of plot twists to keep it interesting & best of all, it was under two hours long so it didn't draw on. I'd love to see this one again.

Battleship
Finally went to see Battleship today and I was pleasantly surprised. The effects were pretty good, the story was good (just don't think too much about it) and the whole courage under fire theme was admirable. I liked it because it turns the loose cannon guy into a heroe and forces him to become a leader because others are counting on him. All in all, i didn't notice the 2 hr plus time that we spent in the theatre (plus, it wasn't too crowded).

San Antonio Rampage
Last week I went to my first hockey game which is unusual because I've never been to a sporting event (okay, once I went to a Missions game) but I thought I'd give it a try. I mean, I think hockey's pretty interesting, so......it was the playoffs but unfortunately they lost. That's okay, i had fun....it was an exciting game. I'll probably go to another one soon, you never know...Let's go Rampage!
