I saw you walking your little black dog by Upriver. You: tall, curvy,
tattooed hippy chick with long dark blonde hair. I tried to approach but
your dog wouldn't allow it! I was the really tall black guy that tried not
to get bit by your dog! You laughed and dropped a brilliant smile that
dazzled me. Maybe we could walk together sometime without the dog? Thought
about you since.

On 57th. July 21st. You: amazingly gorgeous brunette wearing glasses who
was sitting on the corner table by the fridge having lunch. After finishing
your lunch you started reading a book till you had to leave, walking across
the street, you must work near by. We glanced at each other a couple of
times and you gave me a smile that totally made my day. Me: the short dark
guy wearing a white t-shirt who was sitting on the opposite corner by the
order line having lunch with a friend. I wish could have come to your table
and introduce myself. I'm kicking myself in the head for not doing it so.
As you left you took my breath away just hoping to someday see you
again...what about coffee sometime? I'm still thinking about you. Was that
love at first sight?

CHEERS to the family and three kids at the 7-11 on Argonne last Saturday
for saving me from certain doom on a 47 mile bike ride. I started drinking
the Gatoraide before we realized we forgot $ or a card, and without
hesitation he paid the $9.43 and left. What a way to show that people are
still awesome!!

I just couldn't do it. I was scared. You told me not to contact you again
unless my situation had changed. I don't know when or if that will happen
and you deserve better anyways. Thanks for showing me so much love and
kindness. I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for.

I saw you playing pool, you turned around, our eyes met, I was in trouble.
My heart stopped for a minute or two. When you came over and started
talking to me I told myself to breath in and out. I was in heaven. I would
like to see you again. How about Friday, 6-8? I will be there. Hope to buy
you a drink. Cd'A Biker

I saw your Cheers in last week's Inlander. There is a good chance you are
not the man I am thinking of, but if on the off chance you are, I love you
too.

Do you have female genitals? Do you like bikes? Well hop on that saddle, girls, because the F-ing Bike Club is hosting their first-ever ever all-girls ride on July 30. The format follows your typical Full Moon Fiasco. Meet at The Swamp at 8 pm and then ride to an undisclosed location (bar).

The ride will be down and dirty, which means any level of bike rider is encourage to attend. As long as you have a vagina. And a bike. And, preferably, lights and helmet (that's the law).

TONIGHT!

Anyone with even a slight inclination toward indie rock should hustle just as fast as their tight jeans will allow to A Club for Blitzen Trapper, the Fruit Bats, and Ages and Ages. While the Fruit Bats hit this area quite a bit, it’s kind of a big deal that Blitzen Trapper is here. So cough up the $12 and be there by 8:30 pm. People of all ages are welcome.

A mere 50 feet from the indie rock head-nodding-fest will be the psychedelic-electronic rock-fest at Mootsy’s, with Space Movies, Odyssey, monuments and Mecha Shiva. Go and get your mind all kinds of blown for the low, low price of $3. Show up at 9 pm and be 21 or over.

SATURDAY!

Check out the all-ages action with Among Thieves, Ashylus, To The Wind, Of Kinds, Light Up The Sky and What We Once Held. Show up at 5 pm and pay the man $5. (That’s like 83 cents a band!) Later, all those over-21 folks can check out the seemingly homeowner-themed show featuring Mansions and Fences, who we wrote about this week. That one will cost you $5 in advance or $7 at the door and the yardwork music begins at 9:30.

At the Baby Bar you can see Mirror Mirror, Bronson and a very, very silly band called Nucular Aminals, who we also wrote about this week. The show starts at 8 pm and will set you back $5. You must be over 21.

If you didn’t get enough Fruit Bats last night, go see them again at the Belltower in Pullman. They are playing with Grant Olsen, and possibly the most delightful band the region has seen, the newly-reunited Holiday Friends. They are good. 7 pm. $10 in advance, $13 at the door. All-ages.

If you have a shit-ton of money, go see Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, Mastodon and the Meat Puppets at theGorge. The show starts at 6 pm and tickets are $85.50-$500, depending on the legitimacy of the website you purchase them from. Good luck, rich kid.

SUNDAY!

Willie Nelson, the now-braidless magical outlaw country man will be at the Northern Quest Casino and Resort. Show up at 7 pm. Tickets will set you back $55-$100. Don’t bring guns, please.

BEGINNERS
When his 75 year-old, recently widowed father admits to being gay, Ewan McGregor attempts to experience a relationship with all the vigor and bravery that his father had in the last years of his life. This quirky and autobiographical story by Mike Mills (Thumbsucker) is sure to have plenty of awkward humor and devastating reality while striving to find the timeless similarities of love. At AMC (EW) Rated R

COWBOYS & ALIENS
Jake Lonergan, emphasis on “loner” (Daniel Craig), wakes up in a desert, wanders into town, and everybody hates him. Then aliens show up (happens all the time) and this loner becomes a hero. Part Serenity, part High Plains Drifter, the movie's loaded with special effects sure to amaze all ages, and enough brooding contrasts in light to make you feel like it's still a western. It's got the perfect cast and crew, but sometimes even the All-Star team fails miserably. (EW) Rated PG-13

CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE
Steve Carell and Julianne Moore are the long-married couple who suddenly have divorce staring them in the face. But there are plenty more relationship problems: A kid has a mad crush on his babysitter; that babysitter is quietly swooning over the boy’s dad; a young woman wants her boss to see her as more than a working partner. Then there’s the philandering that broke up the marriage, and questions of how to start over in love. This is a funny, tender, and edgy comedy that speaks a lot of truth as its writer and directors madly go about spinning wildly played-out stories that all manage to fit together. (ES) Rated PG-13

PAGE ONE: INSIDE THE NEW YORK TIMES
Understatement alert: The newspaper business has been going through some changes. This documentary, shot over the course of one year, shows what’s been happening at the New York Times as its managers, editors, and reporters try to maneuver through those changes. A lot of this is depressing, but the film lights up whenever raspy-voiced, sleepy-eyed, tough-minded media reporter David Carr is on-camera. And in the end, the film suggests that newspapers will always be around, just in a different form. At Magic Lantern (ES) Rated R

THE SMURFS
The comic book to TV series to, finally, big screen adaptation about those computer-generated little blue things that just want to be happy kicks off with an exhilarating, often hilarious first half hour of absurd action (and even some pretty darn good 3D). Alas, the movie falls apart when it brings in human characters (Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays) with an unnecessary story that will bore kids and adults. But kudos to Hank Azaria as the villainous human Gargamel (a sorcerer who appears to be married to his cat) who, upon arrival in Manhattan, will stop at nothing to get his hands on some “Smurf essence.” He’s in a lot of scenes, and he steals every one of them. Good voice work by Jonathan Winters as Papa Smurf and Alan Cumming as Gutsy. (ES) Rated PG.

SUBMARINE
15 year-old Oliver Tate crafts his life like a movie script with protagonists, antagonists, plot twists and such in a scheme to lose his virginity while simultaneously destroying any connection between his mother and her ex-lover. Will he succeed or will he learn that not everything in life can be planned? Fans of Rushmore should flock to this offbeat comedy. At Magic Lantern (EW) Rated R

VIVA RIVA
In a world where fuel has become a precious commodity, Riva is a con man of sorts who has figured out how best to steal it. Unfortunately, the bad guy's girlfriend is immensely attractive, and might become Riva's new objective. A thriller from the Democratic Republic of Congo, it centers around the violent extremes people will go to in a world overrun with poverty. At Magic Lantern (EW) Rated R
