I was strolling down the street and froze when I saw this poster: [see below]



How is Halou in Portland tonight, and I had no idea? And, of course my vacation is now officially over, so I can't go. But, right now I find myself scheming of ways to get to the show after work - and barring breaking news, and out-of-town live shots, I'm gonna do it.

But, more importantly: you should go. That's right. You should go see them at Dante's tonight (9PM). Not because they're going to be "the next big thing" and you'll be getting in on the ground floor (although that's true). You should go for the most intimate, heartfelt show you'll see all year.



I took this photo of Rebecca from Halou, last summer [see above]. They played at the Holoscene, but it was a Sunday during the Rose Festival and there wasn't a very big turnout. But, those who went to the show became fans forever. Halou doesn't just put on a show. They have such great production value, from the extra band members to the simultaneous video screen - that doesn't just play behind the vocalist, but compliments her performance. Not that she needs it. Rebecca has the most amazing voice ever (since Dido, or something). Anyway...I could go on forever. Just do me a favor. Do Halou a favor. Do yourself a favor, and go see the show.

And in other news...
Farscape is back!
Damn! Ebert really liked Hellboy. 3.5 stars.
Not that I need them, but Xbox finally made a pretty comprehensive cheats page.
