So I didn't write anything about it because I didn't want the same buildup/letdown I had from the farmer's market to the south...but last night I "juried" for the farmer's market in the 'burg....and.....they called this morning to say "yes"...surprise surprise surprise!!
It was overall a much more positive jurry process (I actually got to present my merchandise and meet the board - you know, actually a chance to "sell" myself) and the board was quite a bit younger and hopefully "hipper" - ready for my jelly ifyouknowwhuti'msayin'. Who wouldathunk it in the 'burg?!?!
Anyway, that market runs Saturdays starting next Saturday, so wish me luck :) Mike & Madalyn (LGK's parents) will be jurrying next month and hopefully joining me with their ceramics and stained glass (like they did at the Spring fair)
on another note; I don't generally "critique" films. I leave that to folks like Uncle Jeff and Erin, but I must address the emotional state that August Rush left me in. I feel like I just had a week-long crying binge, ate too much chocolate, drank too much coffee and then took a really long nap.
Of course I've always loved that little tragic munchkin Freddie Highmore...and John Rhys Myer's lips are enough of a reason alone to watch a movie...
I'd seen the previews and knew I was in for a pms-inducing experience and was not disappointed at all. If you don't mind a little "schlock" (but as LGK puts it, the right kind of schlock) and sappiness, and you haven't yet...you might want to rent it. The sound editing/musical score is really neat-o (see the little boy hears music in everything - subways, cornfields etc.) oh and did I mention Terence Howard's eyes!?!?! swoon! and even though it was uncomfortable and a bit queezy-making to not adore Robin Williams as the Fagen character - he was excellent, just not entirely likable ( and no, despite what I thought from the previews, he was NOT playing U2's Bono) I'd give it a thumbs up (also worth noting: no potty humor, no profanity and no naughty bits)

You forgot to say how Felicity plays his mom. You ALWAYS needs tah pimp tha' Felicity!
That didn't sound right at all.
I loved that movie and was also very disturbed by Mork as the bad guy..made me feel all funny inside. I even liked it despite it's lack of potty humor and naughty bits.
