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.

Great movie to kick off the new year, on at 9 PM on the 31st at the Studio Galande cinema in the 5th arrondissement, lots of fun and probably very nice people to meet. Come dressed up for extra fun.
As a bonus, I believe it's the only theatre in the world that's been showing the movie weekly with actors since it first came out in 1975, so that's pretty cool !

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

I‘ve 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 friend’s grandmother. Watch the sunset over the Catalina Mountains.
