this morning wes, juju, mimi, and jacek came into town to see dave's movie hold the sun. it's his feature length debut, and it was premiering at the asian american film festival. but before the movie, we all met up for brunch at moussy's. i'd never been there before, and while it was cute and had bottomless mimosas for $15, the food wasn't very memorable. it was tasty, but nothing to go out of the way to eat. what was memorable was the awesome artwork wuwu got me and the delicious macarons mimi & jacek brought. happy belated birthday to me!
after brunch, we all drove over to new people (where the film was being screened) and checked out all the kitschy stuff. we also checked out the artwork in the gallery (i especially loved the stuff by sidney pink) and made sure to make a quick stop at the heated toilet seats (no really, they have the fancy loos there). once we were done with the kitsch, chris, who was there working the festival, let us know when it was time to get the best seats.
the movie wasn't your typical story. in fact, i'd argue there wasn't much a story at all, more like vignettes into vaguely connected lives. visually, there were many gorgeous scenes, and the park avenue music/hearts + horses soundtrack just really makes it that much better. here's cute lil' dave, all embarrassed by the attention.
and then here's a photo of randall from today, just because.
