Dinner Out, Drinking In......

So where have I been? Busy busy busy !
Out to dinner the other night with murph and amber...at
The Silver Dollar (funky bad sports bar decor, but amazing food)
on South Tacoma Way...we used our Entertainment Coupons !
Half off.......played pool.....I so suck ...doesn't matter.
Hey big Halloween party.....
Then drinks and pizza at Alfreds....fun fun fun....munched on that pizza for days.

Then.....out last night to Tacoma Film Fest
for funny films....technical difficulties.....but we saw:

7:50 p.m. School of Arts
Funny Shorts - Eight comedies shown in sequence
The Last Laugh
(Comedy, 6 min, Directed by Gregory Mazzotta)
Too cute ! A chuckie-type plot.

Moviebonics
(Comedy, 8 min, Directed by Donald P. Unverrich & Lance Miller)
I liked this one...I sound like these people waaaaay toooo much

The Phone Call
(Drama, 8 min, Directed by Matt Johnson)
Filmmakers in attendance.
I really liked this one ...Amateur DIY, and quite clever ..I loved the goofiness and just simple funniness of it ...adorably cute star!

What's the Scenario?
(Documentary/Comedy, 3 min, Directed by Terese Cuff)
Filmmakers in attendance.
Cute concept. Fresh ! Why do people think precocious kids on sugar and adrenaline are cute? Anyone can have sex, people.

Full Disclosure
(Comedy, 18 min, Directed by Douglas Horn)
Filmmakers in attendance.
Very breezy and clever also...witty reparte ! But it is boring to see a beautiful woman paired with a schlub. I know it's like in real life , but so cliche.

Tile M for Murder
(Drama/Comedy, 9 min, Directed by Kyle Seago)
I'm so sick of the Seagos. And why do yuppies all wear the Uniform? Casual hair, polarfleece, Nikes or a Birkenstock/Born clone shoe, and Mom Jeans ??

Soup Ladle
(Comedy, 11 min, Directed by Cayman Grant)
Great treatment of an old joke for a plot.

The Frank Anderson
(Comedy, 13 min, Directed by Dave Perkal)
Ikky. Perky. Goofy. Great special effects.

Oh By The Way ! My new ART !

I placed a call to the Universe asking for artists to slap my wall Happy, and they did! Now, I have new neighbors ! Friesenburger will open soon in Kenny's Teriyaki up here in the District Of No-Warhol-Art* Dome (DONWAD), or the Dome District (DODI)
for you flatlanders... So the lovely lower parking lot wall will be painted over by the new neighbors...fair enough!

This is painted up high, the graffiti art is brought to you by:
TAM ! (not tacoma art museum) Tam is an artist and swell fella who asked if he could paint my bldg. Yes !!
I would like to encourage all my neighbors up here in DONWAD* to encourage Art On The Wall.....Come On ! All the Cool Kids are doing it !!
Some of my neighbors: Katy's Antiques ! Welcome! Tacoma Book Center. Crystal Voyage. Hurley Engineering & Heating Co. Alfred's Cafe and Bar. Best Western....and so many more....you know who you are !
*when the City of TTown was soliciting art for the dome, Warhol submitted a design of a Large Daisy to be painted on the dome.....the city Did Not choose wisely, and I am still bitter !

So Darn Cute ...Me Likey

I spend waaaaay too much time watching other people....not like that....gutter-brain...

Sometimes one needs a raincoat...

but it doesn't have to be blue...

I love Dress A Day blog.....Erin is so darn smart and she sews...yes, she really really sews.
For decades I was the only young person who sewed. If I met someone my age who sewed,
she was um, in a cult of some type. Up until about a year or 2 ago NO ONE sewed ! except grannies.

Sew (ha ha) I see this Lettered Raincoat...and Erin loves letters...she has a real important job at The Dictionary Company.....and I emailed her about it...

I wrote her:
Hi Erin,
Yup....but I thought of you!
Tressie

And the attentive darling she is.....she mailed back:

I love it! Probably will have to buy it. So I should thank you, I think!
Off to watch the auction ...
Thanks!
Erin

so....I'm an enabler........My best friend Jen wants her hair bright green....
So I'm gonna bleach it and then dye it for her......
Please don't ask me for anything unless you really really want it...
you just might get it.....
