This looks great!!! Flawless–10am in summer–pre-naptime, just when you’re getting stir crazy in the house, just when it’s officially too hot to play outside…and it’s FREE. (And if you’re not opposed to having a beer before noon, mama and daddy can sip some summer ale while watching Willa Wonka. Dude.)

Free/cheap summer fun
June 4th, 2008 · No Comments
Don’t forget the outdoor movies at Cinema La Placita! It’ll be a few years before our kid is able to stay awake for them, and I know they’re not necessarily “family friendly” selections every week, but it’s such a fantastic event. Maybe a good, cheap date night, when you have relatives around who can look [...]

Holiday weekend coming up…it’s supposed to cool down by about 20 degrees tmrw, and should be in the 70s on Friday, maybe even with t’storms. Pretty nice. So it could be the opportunity for one last weekend outside, perhaps. Botanical Gardens? Park? What do you all have going on this weekend? Any good events I [...]

Save the drive in!

Thanks to Erika M for info about a Save the De Anza web site. Please check it out, and note the information about a peaceful protest on Sat 5/17.
No more drive ins?

This makes me really sad.
I was looking forward to going to the drive-in as a family. I love that Tucson has a drive-in, and it’s such a fun thing to do on summer nights.
As if we need one more retail center around here…
Maybe we need to start a Save the De Anza campaign?

Movies roll every Thursday night around 7:30pm in the La Placita plaza which is the brightly-colored group of buildings surrounding a courtyard on the [...]

…the “Business of Being Born” screening this weekend.
2pm on Saturday, DuVal auditorium, University Medical Center.
Here’s a review (thanks, Brett!) which manages to discuss the quality of the movie rather than the pros and cons of homebirth.
I’m looking forward to seeing this–thanks to Melissa for her efforts in bringing the movie to Tucson. It has a [...]

Don’t forget to get your tickets for BCC #3. The October and November events sold out, and tix for next weekend are going fast. There’s a loosely-defined “holiday” theme, which we understand will include Santa, snow princesses, and even menorahs made out of balloons!! No tiny goats this time, we’re sorry to report.
Also, tonight [...]
