Vollman, J.G. Ballard, Kathe Kollwitz and Francis Bacon (to name a few). We open ourselves to our own violence and desire for sacrifice and subjugation… (More info)”- Lots more on the Wallingford Nightlife Calendar

Enjoy your weekend!
Thanks for the Guild 45th listings. Is it possible to list which theater each movie is in? As the Blue theater to the west has the crying room. That’s the one my husband and I use now to see movies with Baby A. I’m not sue how many people know about the crying room, but it has allowed us to continue going to movies since the baby arrived. There is one at the Metro and one at the Varsity too
@Latonamom I actually got this info from their website, but haven’t walked by today to see which is in which theater.
Maybe they’d let you use the crying room in the Blue theater even if you’re in the other show? 🙂
I’m pretty sure Ghost Writer is in the Blue Theatre – I checked it out when my family and I were walking by the other day, on the way home from seeing Hot Tub Time Machine in the cry room at the Metro 🙂
The Guild 45th cry room is much nicer I think – haven’t checked out the one at the Varsity.
