Welcome to “Multiplex and Talent Show” on the What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast

This week, I used my wheelchair to go to the multiplex in Dublin and the talent show in the auditorium at my children’s elementary school. The movie we saw was “Inside” with Willem Dafoe and the elementary school talent show had a few truly bizarre, fun memorable moments.. Using my wheelchair made it possible.

Spicy Nut and Pretzel Mix

• Whipped up the David Lebovitz snack mix because our dinner guest brought an extra pie. I think you could say it was burnt, but it’s still so addictive that it didn’t matter – it all gets eaten every time
  

Welcome in

• Shout out to Canada. I watched the Sharks lose to the Oilers last night so I gotta give a big Shout out. to Canada
  
• I heard the band Big Blood from South Portland, Maine on the radio during KFJC’s Female Takeover a marathon of music created by female artists – shout out to cousin Jimmy

Big Blood

• The song I heard was “Reproduce and Get Dirty which is like a great summary of all living things. It has great slide guitar and a wonderful vocal melody that soars at times and is also more intimate other times
  
• Big Blood has a lot of free music {including the aforementioned track) on the Free Music Archive
  

At the Multiplex

• I went to the Regal Hacienda Crossing Spaceport in Dublin. It is a multiplex at an outdoor mall
  
• Shout out to Anjela the hair-cutter who told me she went to movies there when she was in high school
  
• I went with Nami to the movie in my wheelchair. I like going to the multiplex in a wheelchair because multiplexes are big and huge and I don’t know if I’d be able to make it otherwise
  
• We saw the movie Inside with William Defoe
  
• It’s about an art burglar who gets trapped inside a smart house which more-or-less tortures him and features the destruction of millions of dollars worth of of art and furniture.
  

Kids Got Talent

• I went to the children’s talent show in my wheelchair, but beforehand i emailed ahead of time to ask if they would save a space for me, which was no problem. they saved a space for me at the front of the room and a really sweet girl wearing a tap outfit helped me to get settled
  
• There were great embarrassing song and dance routines, solo Hamilton, martial arts, gymnastic cartwheels I & II, Water Under The Bridge interpretive dances and SO much more. It was more interesting than I thought it would be.
  
• My son told me he had a crush on a girl who did a gymnastic routine. When his mom asked why, he said it was because she “ran really fast”
  
• “A pint is a pound the world around”
