Week 2: June 6 – June 12 (Weekend Edition)

Wherever You Are:
Find a screening of the documentary “Louder than a Bomb” and take all of your friends to see it. I saw this film two days ago and I’m still buzzing with bliss! Think Mad Hot Ballroom, Spellbound, Paper Clips, Waiting for Superman, War Dance . . . its that kind of awesome.

DC folks its playing for one week only at the West End Cinema so get there ASAP . . . Besides its too damn hot to do just about anything else.
