Scott Miller and the Commonwealth at The Mercy Lounge - Halloween 2007

Scott Miller and the Commonwealth at The Mercy Lounge - Halloween 2007

I’ve been a fan of Scott Miller ever since he opened up for Tim O’brien at the Belcourt a few years back.  Shortly thereafter he opened for Yonder at the Trap.  Both shows were incredible.  This show during the Amerciana Music Festival in Nashville was the first time I saw him with a full band playing an electric guitar… it was surprisingly awesome!  10-31-2007

The after hours show at IBMA World of Bluegrass… they followed John Cowan and this was the first time I saw them (except for the 1 song at the IBMA award show) with new guitar player Andy Falco.  10-5-2007 (I think)

The Cherryholmes Band put on a spectacular show at IBMA… we were pretty worn out and almost missed this show, but we came back and caught Cherryholmes and The Grascals… lucky for us that we did!  10-5-2007

Sierra is amazing!!! I first saw her a number of years ago playing with Alison Krauss… I think it was one of the Bluegrass specials they taped at the Ryman or the Opry House.  I think she was 12 at the time.

She has only gotten better in the last 4 or 5 years, her IBMA shows were awesome!

LAist: Man Stabs Movie Theater Patrons at Horror Movie

The movie was The Signal (the fascinating and gruesome trailer is below), a horror flick where most of the credited cast has names like “Random Body” and, err, “Random Body.” As mentioned in Friday’s LAist Weekend Movie Guide, it was a hit at Sundance 2007.

Well, imagine watching this scary movie in a near empty theater. That’s what was happening Sunday night around 7:30 p.m. at the Fullerton AMC Theater in Orange County. Then imagine, possibly during a stabbing scene (it’s a pretty intense horror movie, so the odds are there), that you are getting stabbed yourself. Yeah, that happened to two men in separate parts of the theater when another patron yielded a knife. One victim, was stabbed in the arm, but another had his lungs punctured, but officials say he is expected to survive.
