that's tomorrow. might go. gotta check the couch cushions. i think i'm hitting the bill plympton animation talk today.

queer night wasn't so good, unfortunately. the films, that is. two or three good ones, a coupla real stinkers, and some that were okay but not really queer. and i mean with a broad definition of queer.

however, bigfinedaddy and i did play with the make-your-own-animation setup in the lobby instead of paying more to get in to cat dancer at the late show, and then we went drinking in the snowstorm. so queer night was good. just not the movies.
