well, that show on friday night went really well. paul, you'll be seeing a few small bills as a result, and thanks again for your help. my man nate helped me pack everything up and unload it down at my house, which was good, because otherwise i would have collapsed under one of my PA speakers.

the royal tenenbaums is a good movie. the theater was pretty full on saturday night, which impressed me. i want to see the film again. it is not as solid, over-all, as Rushmore, but it has some funnier moments in it.
