hey if we started doing more specific niche newsletters in the new year—and made it easy to only subscribe to the ones you *wanted* to get—would that be a thing you’d want us to do?

I accidentally third wheeled my priest and her husband on a date to see BLADE RUNNER
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
