[Exi-bay-announce] May 2-8 @ S.F. Lumiere: Documentary: "The Singing Revolution"

[Kennita Watson]

Hello -- who all is still reading this?

I know myself well enough to say with fair
certainty that I wouldn't go to this alone,
but I have no plans for Friday May 2, Tuesday
May 6, or Wednesday May 7, and would be up
for meeting one or more 'tropes for movie
with munches before and/or after.  Anybody?

Live long and prosper,
Kennita
