Roger Ebert's Film Festival
I was so stoked today to see that the line up for Ebertfest is out!
My boyfriend went to U of I in Champaign (College of Media), and he volunteered to work the festival last year, so we got to see tons of great movies. It was such a blast and I really hope we get to go back this year. The films we saw last year were: Song Sung Blue (beautiful and heartbreaking), Vincent: A Life in Color (I missed a huge portion of this film, but was able to sit through the panel which was fascinating), Trucker (I got to meet Michelle Monaghan, which was awesome-we talked a lot about Robert Downey Jr.), and Barfly. I almost peed my pants when Roger Ebert waved at me, but was shockingly cool when I met an actress I really love. If you live anywhere near Champaign you should really consider going.
This years schedule is:
Wednesday, April 27
-Metropolis
Thursday, April 28
-Umberto D
-My Dog Tulip
-Tiny Furniture (I've been dying to see this!)
Friday, April 29
-45365
-Me & Orson Welles (also been dying to see this, plus Richard Linklater will be there for the panel!)
-Only You
Saturday, April 30
-A Small Act
-Life, Above All
-Leaves of Grass (fantastic movie)
-I Am Love (I've heard great things about this & Tilda Swinton will be at the festival, which is pretty cool even though she totally scares the crap out of me)
-Louder Than A Bomb

So Tonight I'll Raise My Glass To Us
This weekend has been super awesome.
So far I've: participated in a trivia night, spent time with some amazing friends, tried Mountain Dew flavored vodka, got a huge box full of Girl Scout cookies, bought the new issue of EW (with Nathan Fillion on the front), joined the best friend to see a pretty awesome/awkward basement show, went to the comic book store, talked about roller derby a lot, received really sad news, received really good news, & got some really nice emails.
I am officially ready to call it a night.
Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow!

P.S. This picture makes me very happy. It's super old, but Amber & I have been in love with Matt Skiba for...as long as I can remember.

Dressing On The Side
I would like to take a quick minute to tell you about my favorite place to buy shirts on Etsy:
Dressing On The Side. I am now the very happy owner of three of their world class t-shirts. I ordered one on Monday and it arrived to me by Wednesday and I have already worn it twice this week. The designs are adorable, especially if you are a foodie, love wearing the softest shirts in the land, or just want some conversation pieces. The girls who run the shop are so pleasant, and I think that makes all the difference in the world.
Excellent prices, super fast shipping, delightfully soft t-shirts, what more could a girl ask for?
There are so many ways to get involved & I urge you to find a way to do so. If anyone is interested in links, please let me know and I would be more than happy to point you in the right direction.
