Whew! That's a lot of movies. 80 to be exact. Yep. Eight. Zero. Last year, I made it to 72 of the screenings, and I'm totally gunning to take that record down. Who's with me? More often than not, I'll be sitting in the mezzanine, just left of center. I usually toting my handy-dandy black messenger bag, so I'm fairly easy to find. If you see me, say hi. I promise I won't bite anything but the popcorn.

See ya there!
