I did take a couple breaks from reading this weekend. On Saturday night, Jeri and I went to the Grove to see Erasure. My friend Greg hooked us up with free passes and we were right up front. It was a great show. They played a ton of songs both new and old. Vince was rocking the MacBook Pro and a small synth while Andy was accompanied by three backup singers. It was a great time.

Sunday afternoon I went to a screening of The Monster Squad at the Aero in Santa Monica. I hadn't seen the movie since it was in theaters back in '87 and didn't remember it to well. It's basically about these kids who have to fight off Dracula and his minions. It's a really fun movie and I'm glad it's finally coming to DVD. The director, some of the cast, and some of the special effects guys were there and did a Q&A afterwards. It was great. Also, for those wondering about the Aero, it's where they filmed the Evil Dead screening scene in Donnie Darko. That alone made it worth checking out the theater.

Between that stuff and reading I was pretty well occupied this weekend. I have another big job interview tomorrow for a temp position at Yamaha doing some work on their website. It sounds like a perfect fit for me. The pay is great and it is right up the street from here, so it would be great. Hope you all had a good weekend out there in blog land.
