Viewing Notes

Finished packing up Ewan’s apartment early on Sunday so we had time to kill on Monday. Decided to seek shelter from the 115 degree temperatures by taking in a movie at the newest Drafthouse in the Phoenix area which I’m happy to report was pretty nice.

Liked the musical a lot. It raised a lot of questions for me about identity tied to place, especially in dense urban settings.
