I caught the end of The Peanuts Thanksgiving Special last night. I enjoy Charlie Brown and the gang, but I was disturbed last evening.

The Night of Film begins at 7 this evening. First, Krista and I will travel to the historic Castle Theater for a fund raiser showing of Millions, then we head to the Palace for the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

I’m on my way tonight to pick up tickets (hopefully) for the midnight showing of The Goblet of Fire on Thursday. Krista and I will be fighting sleep and strange people dressed in costume. More reports to come.
