Anticipation Runs High
by Aaron Licht
I saw Before Sunset just after sunset. The entire night was memorable. Early evening, I met up with an old girlfriend in Toronto’s Yorkville district. We found a hidden stone 'hole in the wall' by a closed lawyers office, and drank up a six-pack.. Fantastic conversation and sharing great new experiences. When the sun set, we got a pint at Gabby's on Bloor. On to the Cumberland, we were transfixed by the movie and emotionally carried away. Time for a few more drinks at Spirits on Church St.. We had a blissful 'heart-to-heart' conversation. Inspired in part by the movie and the mood we were in, we really reconnected. I'm a big fan of that. A hopeless junkie.
Post Script:
In the bathroom at Spirits, I was busy scribbling http://beingtheremag.com on the wall when I was rudely interrupted. Some guy burst into my stall and starting screaming "THEY'RE COMING! THEY'RE COMING! PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THEY ARE COMING!" He slapped me on the forehead and ran back out to the bar.
At first, I didn't make anything of it. But after I finished promoting our cause and looked into the mirror, I noticed this strange sticker on my head. I tracked it down to this enigmatic web page:
I don't know what it means, but I felt I should warn my fellow audio/cinephiles.
