Grilled Cheese Invitational 2011

Due to my love of grilled cheese, I was taken to the Grilled Cheese Invitational as a a birthday gift. It was great!

Grilled Cheese and Onion

I ate a variety of delicious grilled cheese sandwiches, and was able to be a judge as well.

Trophy

I really enjoyed the performance by March Forth Marching Band. Watching them made me wish I could go back to high school and be in a marching band. Who knows what that could have led to?

Record Store Day at Amoeba in Hollywood

In appreciation and celebration of record stores, I went to Amoeba Records in Hollywood on April 16, 2011 for Record Store Day. Records have been a part of my life since childhood, as I remember staying up way too late on many nights with my dad listening to his records.

Kevin Smith's Red State Screening at the Wiltern

I saw Kevin Smith's new movie Red State at The Wiltern last night, which included a Q&A with Kevin and most members of the cast. The movie was much different than Smith's past films, and was based in part on Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church, who are known for hate speech and picketing at soldiers funerals.

Check out the IMDB page for Red State which includes trailers and cast member bios.
