Cool Saturday Activity

Great program of international shorts and films at Lisner Auditorium this Saturday, 16 July.

EDIT: scarlettj9 believes nosebeepbear should avoid the second session of the films, and asked that a warning be posted. Oh, having just reread carefully, i agree with scarlettj9. nosebeepbear, don't even read the 2nd session of films.


Here's the invite and the program:

Alons enfant de la patrie,

Le jour du gloire est arrivé! Un Jour de la Bastille glorieu à tout le monde!

Growing up, and for several years with friends from 1989 to about 1994 when people began to move away, we observed Bastille Day. Each year i would dutifully go to a bakery on the 7th and order a sheet or half-sheet cake decorated as the tricolore with writing such as "Vive la revolution!" "Liberté Égalité Fraternité toujours!". The bakers always got it right, even though the script, whatever it may have been, confused them.

The only two hangovers i've ever had were on the morning (well, midday) of the 15th of 1990 and 1991. The former by accident, the latter just to be certain i never wanted to experience that again. Upon waking on 15 July 1990, it took me 20 minutes and a look out the window to determine why i was in my bed and how i got home. That i navigated from Burke to Fairfax without harming anyone or anything still amazes me, even allowing for the fact that i was travelling at about 4AM.
