A night out

Yesterday Lizzie came over to spend the night, and maybe go to a show in Long Beach. When she was here, we decided to go to the show which was at the Basement Lounge in Long Beach.http://www.basementloungelb.com/ Every day of the week they have different shows/activities. On Wednesdays they have The Lightbulb Radio Hour http://lightbulbmouth.com . We got there around 8:00PM and looked around, Lizzie knew the host, Derrik Brown, and co host Mindy Nettifee. They are also well known poets/performers.
They all asked Lizzie if she would read some of her poetry but she didn't bring any, I wish she had because she is head above the ones that performed in "Open Mike". After that there was a little break and then the show started. First to perform was the featured musician Caroline Movement, I really enjoyed it, it was a man playing guitar and singing with another man doing a really cool beat on drums. After he sang, he joined the host for an interview, which was fun. The next performer was Amber Tamblyn, she had a TV show called Joan of Arcadia, and has been in several movies, like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Her father is Russ Tamblyn, a dancer and actor who's been in many movies, probably best known for West Side Story (the leader of the Jets). I told Amber I had met her father at the premiere of the movie in Barcelona in 1961. She thought it was cool. She read some of her poetry and also did a freak dance which was fun, that girl can shimmy! The last of the performers was a poetry slam group called The Aerosol Love Letter Campaign.
It was a very nice evening, very entertaining. Lizzie is going to try to book herself and Jeff for one of the shows, I think that'll be awesome :)
