Re. the weekend.

As anticipated, my little bro and I had an exhaustingly amazing weekend!
We checked off almost everything on his Bucket List, with the exception of a visit to The Varsity, which we both decided was just not possible this trip (him) or ever (me). We did, however, visit some of my favorites – which are now some of his: Holeman + Finch, Bakeshop, Antico Pizzeria, Pancho’s, Rosebud and Ormsby’s. The poor kid had never been to a Trader Joe’s, either! We scheduled in a special trip to show him what Texas is missing…
After we got back from Lake Burton on Saturday, we met some folks at Antico and then hit up Midtown Art Cinema to see Cyrus w/ Slick + the Barocai. Michael and I thought it was really well done – very smart + funny. (Know before you go: Cyrus is a SXSW + Sundance film – so the humor is a bit different from the other movies in Jonah Hill’s catalog.)
Here’s the Q+DD on Cyrus:
Cyrus is a comedy drama film written and directed by brothers Jay and Mark Duplass, and starring John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill, Marisa Tomei and Catherine Keener. The main character, John, is seven years divorced from his wife and is having trouble adjusting to his new life. After meeting Molly at a party, he thinks that maybe he has found the perfect person again. There’s just one problem: Cyrus, Molly’s grown son. John must find a way to make his romance with Molly work despite intentional and unintentional interference by Cyrus. The film has received generally positive reviews. Review aggregate, Rotten Tomatoes, reports that 80% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 69 reviews, with an average score of 6.7/10. The critical consensus is: “While it may strike some viewers as slight, Cyrus is a successful hybrid of mainstream production values and the mumblecore ideals of directors Jay and Mark Duplass. (www.wikipedia.com)

I’d also like to mention that we destroyed Ormsby’s maple cotton candy on Sunday. It was one of the few things on the menu that I hadn’t tried before. We had some serious yumz on our hands – and it was only $3!
In a flash, it was gone…
It was super fun to eat + a perfect treat for the end of the World Cup! Viva Espana!
Also in other Ormsby’s news, the owner told Slick + Michael that they are in the process of building a ping pong (beer pong?) room downstairs. AND, there’s a new bathroom downstairs, too. Thank you for being so incredible, Ormsby’s! I’m really likin’ what you’re doin’.
Miss you already, MR. Come back to visit again soon! (I promise to at least consider a Varsity run…)
xx, L
