Excitement

October 16th.
Will you be there?
I will.
Not only is this one of my favorite kids books (OK, saying that is not so complimentary. I have about 100 of those), but the movie looks rad. The wild things look how I would imagine them to look. And Spike Jonez, with the help of Dave Eggers, is just the type of director to get it right. I think. I hope. (Apparently some of the techniques used to inspire Max Records, the 12-year-old who plays Max, included dressing up in various costumes and at one point Catherine Keener covered herself in fake blood to elicit surprise and fright.)

Second point of interest. Original soundtrack by Karen O and the Kids. !!! Not that I want to rave about the movie before I've seen it, but I kinda want to get WAY TOO EXCITED! Just caught the YYY's concert at the new Fox Theater.
Tangent Alert: The Fox is rad! Peep the site.
Also, the YYY's have amazing concert shirts. Here are some examples:
About Karen O:
Performance: yoga/mick jagger as my brother said, she's hapa (half Korean) and she has amazing fashion.



Third thing: (good things always come in threes, I like to say.)
Opening Ceremony has a jewelry and faux-fur line based on the movie and has, according to the WSJ, already sold out (90 adult-sized unisex wolf suits" priced at $610 a pop. Oh to be one of the lucky few...
OK, I promised three points of interest, but who can be mad about a fourth?
