Last night I had plans to go bowling with some mates but that went up the creek. So I sat at Fido working on some opportunities that were thrown at me this week and researched my trip to Nepal. Old roomie Amanda showed up and we hammered out a few ideas on plush designs.
Anyway I ventured out later that night with Bair and a guy I will refer to from now on as Mr. Mustacho to see
THE WACKNESS. Not many people know of this movie or event hat it is out right now, but Im not everybody. I highly enjoyed this movie! Ben kinglsy is a badass and totally makes films better. The setting in 1994 takes me back and I caught myself saying "i had that back then" to alot of the props and what not. Below is a better description

Its the summer of 1994, and the streets of New York are pulsing with hip hop and wafting with the sweet aroma of marijuana. The newly-inaugurated mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, is only beginning to implement his anti-fun initiatives against crimes like noisy portable radio, graffiti and public drunkenness.
The Wackness centers upon a troubled high school student named Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck)a teenage pot dealer who forms a friendship with Dr. Jeffrey Squires (Ben Kingsley), a psychiatrist and kindred lost soul. When the doctor proposes Luke trade him weed for therapy sessions, the two begin to explore both New York City and their own depression.
Propelled by an exuberant hip hop score, The Wackness captures the spell of 1994--a time of pagers, not cell phones; a time when Tupac and Biggie were alive but Kurt Cobain had just died. Funny and moving, The Wackness is an offbeat tale of two lost souls stumbling towards maturity
