Movie Review: Eastern Promises

My review from this weekend has been posted on The Advocate's website. It's a review of David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises that was released nationwide on Friday.

My New Gig

I've recently taken on a second job doing some freelance writing for the entertainment section of The Advocate website. I am writing movie reviews for them, the first of which was posted on their site yesterday. It is a review of a film called Death Sentence starring Kevin Bacon. I think I will be starting off doing around one movie review per week, but it's really on an as needed basis. The more movies that come out on one weekend, the more likely I am to write one. I've written one another review besides the one that has been posted already. I'll post the link to that review once it goes live. The link for the review of Death Sentence is http://www.2theadvocate.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/9906412.html

There's quite a bit going on this week. First, the new issue of Tiger Weekly came out today and it features an article by Jason Andreasen on Art Lounge and ICON Studios.

Not to mention $2 Corona, $3 margaritas, and $5 tequila shots.

Not only that, but Saturday (Sept 8th) me, Christin and several other ICON members will be in Lafayette for Grinder 2.0. Grinder: Creative Arts Expo is a gathering of creative individuals in an effort to inform, educate and inspire the creative spirit. We will be one of the featured exhibitors, and we'll be selling copies of Like That, t-shirts, & prints. We will also be premiering our newest venture, M.O.P.S., a monthly web comic strip launching in September. We will be giving away free M.O.P.S. promotional items as well as unveiling the M.O.P.S. website (http://www.wefightdirty.net) to the public for the first time. If you get sick of tailgating, you must come out and be one of the first humans ever to see our newest, most ambitious project to date.
