Well, I'm clearly still obsessed with my boots and clearly still planning my outfits around them. Which is fine with me because they are awesome! There wasn't even any break in time necessary, they were basically perfect out of the box. Anyways, this is basically the same thing I wore the other day- just with slightly different pieces and a belt added. The most exciting thing about Saturday night wasn't my outfit, it was the indie documentary I went to see; One Crazy Ride. Go check out the trailer!

According to the website, One Crazy Ride is about
"A motorcycle expedition on uncharted roads across the Himalayan state of Arunachal Pradesh, situated in North-east India. But more than an expedition, it's a film on friendship, camaraderie and the "never say die" attitude of five motorcyclists in the face of unforgiving terrain. Shot ... with no back-up vehicle or film crew, in parts of India hardly seen, filmed or explored, the documentary captures the interactions and experiences of the riders who are trying to chart a route, which according to everyone does not exist."

I don't think the summary quite does it justice, the film was very fascinating, the imagery was breath-taking, the characters were very funny and real, and the tribal groups and way of life that they encountered along their trip was so interesting. The guy who shot the film and one of his traveling companions were there, they are on a tour of the US right now. I don't think they are getting much press, which is really a shame. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the film, it really rekindled my desire to travel and have unusual adventures in other parts of the world. You should certainly check it out if they are coming to a town near you!
