Happy birthday!

It's my brother's birthday today and he's one of the few people who actually read this. Last night we watched Casshern and I don't think either of us thought it was very good. We both found it very hard to follow and I thought it was boring. It's one of three movies which came out last year and were filmed on so-called digital backlots, meaning everything is done in front of a blue screen and all of the sets and everything are created digitally. (The other two were Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and Immortel ad Vitam.) Casshern is the only one of these movies I've seen, and I can't say I'm chafing at the bit to see either of the other two.

Tuesday the 25th found Alice and I at a benefit concert for our friend Jason Crigler. It was very moving. The show, which was at Irving Plaza, was sold out. I sat at the merchandise table for most of the night, selling as many copies as possible of Jason's excellent CD. Get well soon, Jason. Come home.

For any of you who weren't at the concert but would like to make a donation to help Jason and his family, you can do so here.
