Bonafide Classic. My family and I have watched every Christmas since I was tiny. Hilarious and heartfelt. Perhaps a wee bit overrated but who cares, we only do this once a year! Something about the 1940s Christmas aesthetic that really just gives me the warm and fuzzies.

I told a friend the other day I tried rolling up to the box office at MSG for Charli XCX's sold out show and my friend responded "what are you on Seinfeld?". Tea. But going to the box office is something that this digital age does not always consider. I have had much luck at any other "sold out" show in NYC by going to the box office on the day of, purchasing a ticket at face value, and strutting on into the venue. Typically the venue holds a row or so for the occasion. Unfortunately, the box office in reference at the top of this rec, did not deliver on my hopes and dreams of being Brat.

I haven't been in NYC for that long but I've found that the well for film in NYC is pretty deep and you can really find anything you are looking for on a given night. Obscure, Foreign, Indie, Cult Classic, whatever.
Screen Slate is a good resource to find whats playing where all around the city.
I would also suggest following a lot of the theaters on ig and they will have posts about showings that might pique your interest.
Spectacle and Film Noir are pretty cool screening rooms in BK that are pretty low key and DIY if you are looking for an interesting night out.
Finally, getting a membership to metrograph, ifc or film forum is a good option if you go to one of them and like it. Reduced prices go along way if you are going to a theater pretty frequently.

Iβve started to keep an assortment of different cigs all in one pack. Kinda fun to mix it up sometimes.
What am I feeling tonight;
Reading at Sovereign House? Hestia.
Dancing at Home Sweet Home?
Marlboro Light.
Screening at The Roxy? Parliament.

I just finished assembling the tracklist for a mix cd I plan on gifting to a friend for Christmas- the first one I've committed to making in years. The process of sifting through your library to find a sense of cohesion while also channeling the taste profile of your recipient is hands down my favorite way of exercising my sonic sensibilities.
CDs have become such a novelty in this day and age of streaming which makes gifting a personalized one that much more special (: Long Live The Mix!

Very pleased to be spending the rest of the year, and an undefined amount of 2024 back home in Arizona. Sometimes you get one too many skinned knees on the playground that is NYC and come to figure that the best respite is going rogue with the cacti & coyotes. Make tamales with your best friendβs grandmother. Watch the sunset over the Catalina Mountains.
