Sunday was our good friend Zach's birthday. We met up with a bunch of friends at a restaurant in downtown called Capitol Garage. They're known for their brunch specials and cocktails.

| Starting brunch off right with an alcoholic horchata! |
 |
| A tofu curry scramble for breakfast - all vegan. It was damn good! |
 |
| There were like 12 of us altogether! What a large group. The birthday boy is the one on the right wearing a black beanie and stuffing food in his face. |
After some great conversations and delicious food, we headed to the movies to see Kevin Smith's new horror film,
Tusk. Kyle and I are pretty big Kevin Smith fans and listen to all his podcasts, so we've been following all the
Tusk news eagerly and waiting impatiently for the movie to come out. It did not disappoint!

| Love this poster. |
 |
| All these cool people all in black. And no, it wasn't planned. That's just how our crew rolls. Hahaha. Also, we went full walrus in this picture. #walrusyes |
The movie was awesome. It was everything you would expect from a Kevin Smith film (in the best possible way) and since we had been following it so closely, we were delighted to find out that it actually stayed very true to the original podcast that it was based off of. The makeup and special effects carried the film, but the actors' performances were also stellar. It was no surprise that Michael Parks made a great evil Walrus scientist/doctor, but who woulda guessed that Justin Long could pull off such an amazing walrus? All of the references to the SModCo podcasts were hilarious and the movie managed to find that perfect balance between weird, horrific, and terribly amusing. Go Kevin Smith. Please keep making movies of this caliber.
Until next time!
