what a great weekend. beautiful weather and all sorts of happenings around our thriving metropolis.

last night Film Streams had their first annual fundraiser, Feature 2008. alexander payne and laura dern helped raise more than $150,000 for the non-profit so that we can continue to have access to films that had been missing from our city prior to the two-screen theater opening last year. cheers to that.

also, in case you didn’t know, blue line coffee has finally opened on the north end of our street. the same great coffee that you know and love from visiting their dundee location, while also offering a fine selection of sandwiches, cheeses, wines, and beers to boot. stop down and say hello.

tonight is film school with latitude-longitude. happy july 14th, 2008.
