I saw R.E.D. last night with
silvernaofficer and
mollypocket at the Arclight Theaters. Man, that theater's crazy fancy. Their board of movies tells you when seating's begun, in progress or stopped for a showing. It was also quite odd being able to choose where you sit. I've done the assigned seating in theaters but they were in Taiwan and I didn't get to choose. They also have a glorified usher welcoming us to the movie. I seriously thought she was going to give us a synopsis of what we were about to watch, but she didn't, lol. I liked how they had no movie trivia questions nor advertisements from local establishments before the showtime.
The movie itself was entertaining. I really loved Helen Mirren in it, haha. And John Malkovich wasn't bad either in a wow crazy man sort of way. He was very good for lulz. ( Cut for spoilers, in case. )
Afterwards, we were on a hunt for dinner. I had found a sushi place in Hollywood, only to find that it was closed, wtf. So, we wandered a bit down Hollywood Boulevard and ended up at Lotería, some fancier smancier Mexican place. The food was pretty good. I didn't appreciate our waiter not telling us that the chips and salsa/guacamole weren't on the house. But, I guess it was also our fault for not asking? We're all so used to getting free bread, chips and salsa, etc. at other restaurants.
Then it was off to Cinespace, where we weren't ready to be surrounded by hordes of hipsters. The carpet also vaguely smelled of soggy wetness. Gross. Then the carpet in the actual room with the stage was all sticky. Even grosser. I went for Wyatt's band One Silver Astronaut. They weren't bad, really chill mellow stuff. Though the xylophone bugged the crap out of me. Maybe the mic on it was too loud... Kiev was pretty cool. We didn't get to see the remaining bands as we left around 11:30 pm. Ah well.
Bonnie wanted to make a drinking game out of how many people were wearing flannel shirts. Or leggings. Or messenger bags. I think we would've been smashed within 20 minutes.
While walking to Cinespace, we came up to some random guy who was air shooting cars driving by with an imaginary rifle. o___o; Then there were three random teenage boys trying to chat it up with us or something. Oh Hollywood. It's like a tamer version of Vegas at night.

That meme:
Day 02- The meaning behind your LiveJournal name.
I think most of you know this already. It's a rather boring story. I needed an alias for cosplay and couldn't think of anything for the longest time that wasn't something lame or extremely weaboo. So I was driving somewhere and an Evanescence song came on the radio. The result was basically EVAN(+A)E-(scence). Yeahhh....and I don't even like her, though butchering "Bring Me to Life" at karaoke once in a while is exhilaratingly hilarious. |D
