fun games to play

I went to a show at the Independent last night and we invented a game of imagining what the bands were up to in high school and what music they were into. The results:

The Fabulous Entourage

What were they doing in high school? Theatre.
To whom were they listening? Meatloaf, the Ronettes

Bobby Birdman

What was he doing in high school? According to John, hiding in corners and reading Rilke.
To whom was he listening? Equal parts Wu Tang and Frank Sinatra.

Hot Chip

What were they doing in high school? Painting their sneakers, kissing other boys.
To whom were they listening? Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Talking Heads.

The other fun game that has come up recently? Coming up with the list of movies you've "seen" but were actually making out through most of so that you don't remember large plot details or even if you like the movie or not. You have to play this game with other people, of course, and share the lists.

The other game I learned this weekend? The Game. The rules, if I remember them correctly: Once you hear about the game, you're playing it. Whenever you remember you're playing the game, you lose, and you have to say it out loud.

Because I can't resist posting this photo:
Noah and I saw this glass bridge this weekend (this was the view above my head).
