Movie meetup: Julie and Julia

Had a good time with tonight’s movie meetup at the Terrace Theater to see Julie & Julia.

It’s a movie about two women, from two different times but looking for the same thing: something to do. Meryl Streep puts in an excellent performance as Julia Child, and at points you forget that it’s not Julia Child on the screen.

It’s a lot of fun seeing Julie and Julia go through much the same experiences as the movie switches back and forth between the two characters. Whether their lives really ran as parallel as it seemed in the movie or if it was just done that way for the movie, I don’t know.

Julie & Julia is a very enjoyable movie to watch, with lots of humour in it. Definitely worth seeing.

Social media happy hour

Today I ventured out to the downtown Taco Boy for the the Social Media Club (Charleston) happy hour. It was a nice fun and informal get-together with a surprisingly diverse crowd of people.

It was my first trip to Taco Boy, and it turned out pretty good. The Taco Boy is dog friendly, something I wish I had known earlier. I’m sure the dogs would have loved to go meet everybody.

There was a pretty good turn out of people at today’s event. There were a few familiar faces, but also a lot of new ones. It was nice meeting new people, and also meeting some of the people I’ve met on Twitter.

Lab filled morning

There aren’t too many things that are more fun than spending a morning watching a bunch of labs frolic around in a pond.

LCB’s third anniversary

Heather noted that most of the better attended meetups happened to be ones that I threw together. I think I just got volunteered for stuff.

Today’s third anniversary meetup turned out pretty well. Had about 20 bloggers and tweeters show up, possibly much to the dismay of the lone newbie waitress working the patio area who was expecting a slow evening. I was pleasantly surprised by the numbers that showed.

It’s always good to get together and I think everybody had a pretty good time.

Several #jaredrumours were being formulated.
