We went to see the MICCA preview show earlier tonight at DHS. The preview featured three songs from the DHS soundtrack for the MICCA performance this year, which will be in two weeks. Now, the band is performing a little bit early so there is some time to make corrections in the performance.
They performed really well in their three songs. They represented a diversity of styles and types and included a final song that lasted nearly nine minutes. Amazing!!!
I can't wait to see the real snhow.
Kiff and I went into the Kendall Square Landmark Theater to see the Academy Award live action shorts. While I wasn't too sure what to expect, Kiff was excited and I looked at it as an opportunity to have some fun.
Unlike last year when we saw it in the small Salem Cinema with about ten other people, we were in a larger theater with many more people checking out the potential award winner.
There were five strong performances:
1. The Singers - about men in a bar singing and how it brings them together on a dreary day. It was good.
2. Two People Exchanging Saliva - about a woman who kisses another woman in a society where all kissing has been banned. It was really good.
3. The Butcher's Stain - about reverse discrimination of a Palestinian butcher in Israel. Great show.
4. A Friend of Dorothy - about a young black man who, while trying to retrieve a ball, befriends an elderly lady named Dorothy and how the friendship impacts them both. Great show.
5. Jane Austen's Period Drama - about what the title says it is. A man is about to propose to a woman when he notices blood on her dress. What unfolds is a hilarious story about the subject of periods and how men, especially in the 1800s, had little awareness of periods. Amazing show and just like a SNL skit.
Great movies and a great take!!!
