Valladolid

On Thursday we threw Javelins in gym class: 

After class I went with the music teacher Jose Luis to the city about 45mins north of Cuellar called Valladolid. It has a little over 300,000 residents and is incredibly spread out. We had lunch at his house then he had to take his daughter to get a vaccination/set up instruments at the bar that his cover band ACROSS was going to play at, so he pawned me off to the movie theater where I saw Los Descendientes (The Descendants) with George Clooney, directed by the guy who also made Sideways, Alexander Payne. The spanish dub of the film wasn't that bad, plus its a good movie, it was dramatic (while being minorly melodramatic in a few moments) and very funny. George Clooney gave a very George Clooney performance.

This is my music teacher's band ACROSS. He's in the background (back right) playing on the keyboard. They had a list of songs on the wall and all you had to do was call out the name of the song and they'd be ready to play it on the spot. Their singer was excellent also! A few on the list were: Starman (David Bowie), Suzy Q, I Put A Spell On You, Time (Pink Floyd), a lot of Creedence Clearwater Revival (they started with Bad Moon a Risin'), etc. Definitely an American Audience-centric band.

Here's a little sample:
