Hey, everybody! Let's be honest: You're either reading this blog in between moments at a film festival, or as some sort of escape from yesterday's nonsense. And that's perfectly okay, because sometimes in life we need a break from tragedy and despair. Or we just need to immerse ourselves in complete distractions to find some happiness again. I myself will probably be asleep when you read this, as I'm taking this weekend for myself to recharge a lot of batteries. But in the meantime, I've got two weeks of events for you to go check out while you look at this picture of Princess Leia created by local artist Charlie Brown.
