We went to see Evil Dead: The Musical tonight with Eve and Justin. It was awesome! It was...a lot like the movie. Only with singing! I was very impressed by the evil hand.

*ahem* Maybe I'd better review this in the morning.

Les Miz: Going to go see Les Miz tonight with Jon, Christin, Steve and Susan. HECK YEAH! I love living in Columbus.

Battle LA: is the most boring movie ever. Seriously. We saw it last week with Kim and Travis and...yeah. Not worth it. Even the things that were sort of cool about it they didn't carry though on.
