This weekend, Liz and I went to see Shine a Light at the new IMAX theater near our place. It rocks, seriously. Hadn’t seen an actual (read: entertainment) movie in IMAX before; I’d just seen a documentary previously. Anyway, it was obviously a Scorsese film, which was cool, and the set list is rad (lots of less-popular tracks, with a smattering of the hits (naturally). Go see it, if you can. Definitely worth the price. (Incidentally, the new theater near us features self-service/free-refills of all sizes of drinks, so that’s cool…they also have a full bar and a crazy ice cream shop.)

I also finally got around to posting some pictures from as far back as October 2006. Here they are, in chronological order:

A lot of the photos from these sets have been added to my new photoblog.
