Funk Babblings

Tonight at Oldfield's On High in Columbus, Room Nineteen is playing. Since the venue's calendar lists another band and "TBA", while the band's website mentions two bands besides themselves, I'm assuming that Room Nineteen is going on second of three. Edit: Turns out they were headlining, on last, and didn't get to start until after 1am.

Tomorrow night, former Room Nineteen member Fletch is playing at the same venue, apparently playing first of three bands.

We're going to Columbus this weekend (and nontacitare likes both of them), so I'm hoping to be able to catch at least one of these and maybe even both.

In case you hadn't heard yet... Kevin Smith is making a sequel to Clerks, called The Passion of the Clerks. Read more of his comments about it here.


Update: How did I miss hearing about Fletch Won, which landed in Smith's lap four years ago? But that seems to keep getting pushed back, first in favor of The Green Hornet, and now in favor of The Passion of the Clerks. I for one am looking forward to seeing a Fletch movie made by someone who truly respects the books; the first Fletch movie was good and mostly based on the first book, but it tied things up wrong at the end, and second movie had nothing to do with the books at all. It sounds like Smith wants to be faithful to the books. Whenever he finally gets around to doing the movie. (Fletch Won, by the way, is part of a pair of "prequel" novels in the Fletch series; the whole series is around ten or twelve books.) There's also a web site dedicated to the Fletch Won movie, but I'm not sure how current it is.
