I just discovered my friend has never seen either movie, nor “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” Who are you girl, said Lola!! Check out the schedule, I’m gonna try and make every movie. I love the Suzanne Roberts Theater, the seats are beyond comfortable. The movie nights, candy for the kids, and spirits for mom, dad and all my gal friends.

Did I mention parties, there are lots of them and if the legendary promoter Dan Contarino is involved in planning them then you’re not going to want to miss them.

Guys, Towels, Gay Movie = don’t bring grammie

Gay filmmaker Thom Fitzgerald’s bright, breezy and tender road
movie stars Olympia Dukakis (1 degree from Cher) and Brenda Fricker as a pair of geriatric
lesbians who hit the highway, picking up a hunky young hitchhiker along
the way. (Sounds like Thelma & Louise didn’t die after all.)
