I’m so happy you posted this! I was already planning on going to the movie tomorrow – thursday, which is now today. Will you be there? I want to go to all these movies with you! Plus I sent this list to logan so she could see that there will be many amazing free things for her to do here. Now I want a listing of all the free festival events (river to river, celebrate brooklyn, etc) on one calendar for the summer. Do you have that too?
you’re hilarious! great, let’s do it! except i thought you couldn’t do thursdays b/c of your mentoring program? wasn’t that your summer sadness?
i do have another calendar with a decent amount of stuff on it. i’ll email.
I just put Imitation of Life on my Google calendar. I thought you hated that movie (and Sirk in general), though!
i don’t hate him at all! he makes me laugh. 🙂
Maybe I shouldn’t sit with you then, because I will be sobbing… 🙂
