is this brutalist? brand new
U district lightrail station where already half
the escalators are out of service. we
scored the last 2 tickets to limited seating for
tonight's 75th anniversary IT'S
A WONDERFUL LIFE 35mm screening at ye
olde grand
illusion, who've shown it annually since
they opened in 1971. before the show, i went
back out for candy around the corner
where a volatile man was screaming up and down
the block. he sounded angry as he kicked over
scooters, pylons, and barricades, punctuating
his rampage with hoarse shouts of, "I LOVE YOU!
MERRY CHRISTMAS" [smash!] "I LOOOOOVE YOU. MERRY
CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!" ...like an even more
deranged version of george
bailey, whose bitterness, rage, and
despair are what make IAWL
such a heartwarming
holiday classic!
