I’m not feeling all that well, and will do a minimum of “work,” just in case. I don’t want to make it worse, so I figure movies are a safe bet.

I’ve bought several of them from the 2fer bin at Wally World, and have been putting off watching them. I think this weekend is a good time to drag them out.

Too bad about Folklife. Maybe you should ask discreetly why the hugh increase.

I’m sorry, but I really have to go. I’ll see if I can breathe some life into this thread tomorrow...

In part it's due to prior fiscal mismanagement. But it's also in Seattle, the Center is run by libs, and they've been ripping off Folklife for a LONG time to pay for other programs.

I've printed out their schedule; we'll go at least one day to say we've been there, but their incessantly increasing aggressive fundraising efforts (a different button for sale each day of Folklife, for example, as opposed to the former one button per Folklife) is devaluing the whole thing to where in short order we just might not bother.

(They're taxing vendors pretty heavily too, as we hear from a friend who's much further left than we are right, but we enjoy seeing him here. Though every year he says this is his last -- in business he's a closet conservative.)
