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.

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.

…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.

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 [...]
