So,
Last night I decided to watch “The Taking of Pelham 123″ on our Netflix Player, and I have to say, this movie was pretty good. It was a hostage-scenario movie very similar in environment to “Phonebooth” with Collin Farrel.
Denzel Washington and John Travolta star in this movie, where Travolta’s character “Ryder” hijacks a New York City Subway train in hopes of getting paid $10 Million, and “Garber” (Denzel) is the subway dispatch assigned to that train line that day. The dialogue between Denzel and Travolta is pretty good, and you can really see their acting talents, even in this so-so film. Without these two, this movie surely would have fallen flat. One couldn’t have expected James Gandolfini (who plays the Mayor) to hold this one up all on his own…
Anyway, if you haven’t yet, and are bored on a Monday night, give this one a try. You may enjoy it.
We will be doing “The Taking of CKB” at our show at CKB in Pasadena this Friday, so come see some cool bands, get our EP ($5), Tshirt ($15), and stickers ($0) for your very own. We finally have something concrete to offer you all that you can take home with you and treasure for a very long time.
See you there! http://wp.me/poDC1-5b

A few days after our last show at CKB, we were asked to play another show. Who’s gonna turn down the chance to play another all ages show? Oh no, not us!
This venue is accessed by an alleyway called “Mercantile Place.” Park at the southwest structure off S Raymond Ave and E Colorado Blvd.
Worried about dinner? Come a few hours early; there’s a plethora of restaurants around that area in walking distance. (Plethora. You heard me.)
One more thing — we’ll finally have shirts ($15) and CDs ($5) for sale! Stickers, too. We forgot to bring them last time.

If you’d like to help, please email your friends and/or tweet this (or whatever verb you use for Twitter). Thanks!
Hey! @scarletparadigm is playing at CKB in Pasadena on 2/26 at 9:45pm. Come for music, shirts, and CDs! Pls RT. http://wp.me/poDC1-5b
Update 2/26/2010 1:15pm — This show got cancelled. Boo.
Last night, Bryan and I met on Myrtle in Old Town Monrovia, a great place to take some photos. We walked around for about an hour, and Bryan shared some guru-wisdom with me on the art of photos. Being semi-new to the world of [DSLR] photography, I was like a sponge soaking up all of the knowledge that Bryan, the God of Photos, had to offer me. He gave me some great pointers, and showed me a few new tricks I didn’t know from my rudimentary knowledge of photography I learned in High School.
I am setting a new goal for myself to try to take as many pictures as possible and just get better at photography. To me it has always been just a hobby, but now that I have a better camera (a recently purchased Nikon D40x from our Drummer James) I feel that I can move a step up and start taking some legit photography.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy, and thanks Bryan for takin’ me under your wing.

The full set from the Photowalk is there, as well as some new ones I uploaded from earlier today.
Peace.
Bill plays epic guitar and write a lot of our music. Here, he’s settling into Pro Tools M-Powered, recording James on drums.
I took a break from processing photos at home to see James tracking in the “new” studio.
Side note: James is sporting a complimentary shirt from MailChimp. They’re awesome — and not only because they sent us shirts. They’re a young, epic company specializing in email marketing and email list management.
