Bad idea? Are you crazy? Lost Boys 2 is the best idea ever!

Actually, back in my film school nerd days, I totally read this screenplay, or at least a draft of a Lost Boys 2 screenplay, and the trailer has scenes from it for sure. It wasn’t super good, and basically just a Teen Wolf Too kind of thing, with Frog being the Styles who’s like, “Oh, I’ve been through this! Wolf out!”

But really, what else would you want? And that’s better than just straight up remaking something, like Hills Have Eyes…

ugh, JENS. MY SWEDISH LOVAH. Come back to meeeeee!

He’s too adorable.

Oh hey, I was in that NPR line. But they had free shiner and tiny chopped beef sliders, Sarah! You can’t beat that! Even if I did miss Jens.

Hey Josh, from where Sarah and I were, we couldn’t see anything when people sat on those steps. Hence the problem. I blame the architect.

And Moody, you’re completely right about the iPad. I would totally get one. I know that makes me awful.

The Lost Boys sequel looks like the worst thing ever made. Ever. Didn’t someone tell them everyone likes the Lost Boys movie because it’s unintentionally funny and rubbish?

Wait, what’s wrong with bandanas? Am I a hipster? I never thought of myself as very hip. But I do like the bandanas. I’m going to have to think on this for awhile…

Also, SUCK THIS, ROB THOMAS. With your 90210 remakes and your Cupid remakes and your Veronica Mars movies. Why don’t you try having an ORIGINAL IDEA for the first time since 2004?! That one turned out okay, before you RUINED IT. HATES.

Finally, Sarah, the tiny deer reminded me of this adorable little dwarf rabbit that I spent 20 minutes petting and cooing over and naming and wanting to take home at the rodeo last night. He looked like this!

My favorite part of Yo La Tengo was the 15 minute feedback wall that they concluded their set with. Including the guy banging his guitar over his legs. It was like the band collectively said “Fuck your eardrums, here we come!”

Also, fuck the “VIP” chairs at the Austin Music Hall. The chairs were empty all night, for VIPs who never came. That’s fine, I respect your empty chair. But there is a step a few feet behind those chairs that is out of the way of both the chairs and the aisle, and if you try to sit on that inviting step, the Music Hall has an employee whose sole job is to come shush you away. It happened every two minutes all night.

Also also, have you noticed that the outside of the Hall looks like a giant pi symbol? Is that intentional? I know we’re techy/nerdy in Austin, but do we need a music venue that embodies the constant representing the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter?

Yes!!! You did get the hipster trend!!! It’s so obvious now!! I saw a ton of cut-offs. They’re good for all genders, as long as you get the length just the right type of wrong, apparently.

You know more people would use pen and paper to do things if the companies would come out with one labeled the iPen and the iPad. Confuse people into thinking Apple made it and BAM! instant success with the hipsters and white people of America. Of course you would also have to jack up the price so it seems like it’s an exclusive item not everyone would be able to afford.
