Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Last evening started all festive, with a loverly jaunt over to the community garden on 6th and B for free pizza and soda among the fireflies with Joe “Sugar Daddy” Ferrelli and the gang from the Pioneer. We gabbed about Barbra Streisand and Grey Gardens and Come Back To The Five And Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, and that movie where Barbara Hershey keeps getting molested over and over by an invisible demon and Sandy Kane’s Blew Comedy Show, and other matters of vital importance until they kicked us out at 10. While figuring out what to do next, Joe hooked LCF and I up with free tix to see a late show of An Inconvenient Truth at the Sunshine, so we went and it was super, super scary. Like, scary enough that when Al Gore got to the part where he showed what would happen to Manhattan if Greenland doesn’t stop melting, I seriously thought I might puke. That’s how scared I was. Am I easily manipulated by the media? Probs. But now I’m totally freaked out about global warming and was up ’till 3 AM with LCF brainstorming strategies for how we can stick together and survive in the event of an environmental apocolypse. If any of y’all out there are feeling particularly socially conscious, and/or feel like staring into Al Gore’s hypnotic robotic eyes until he scares you so bad you crap your pants, this is the flick for you.
