tuesdays at tower

that's the new thing for katie and i. until she leaves (if she leaves...well, she will leave for school, but if she leaves for europe). last night it was friends with money which we both really enjoyed. next week it's thank you for smoking. and i already warned mike i'm dragging him to see an inconvenient truth when it comes out.

last night made me remember how much i love my old friend tower theatre. the place where i was groped by a rock star on our first date, while seeing belle de jour. and where i called in sick at the bank so barbie and i could go see shallow grave. and where, back when i was still doing things with my mom, we saw before sunrise. and more recently (well, not recently, but chronologically, anyway) i dragged mike to see trainspotting and the blair witch project (not at the same time, mind you). and the last movie i saw there was intimate strangers, with the mamazine gals.

i also remembered how great it is to go to the movies on a hot summer afternoon/evening when it's not crowded and just disappear for a couple of hours. even after katie leaves, i may have to continue tuesdays at tower--maybe with a new movie buddy, maybe solo.
