Well, not really Paris, but at our home away from home Paris In Plantsville!

The last (and first!) screening of "Josh and Todd" did so well we're doing an encore!

April 22 and 23, doors open at 7:00 PM, and the movie starts at 8:00!

This is going to be the first in a monthly series of films to be presented at the gallery, so we're honored to be part of it, and to kick it off!

J.R. Calvo and Todd enjoy a few brews!!

Books And Music... R.I.P. Get there now! Closing 4/18!

Jon here...

One of my favorite places in Connecticut is closing it's doors April 18th.
Books and Music in Plainville on Rt. 10.
I've been shopping there since before it was called Books and Music, and have always found that gem of a CD or book I've been looking for. I've always been treated right by the staff, and always offered a cup of coffee by Ed.

Ed (who works there) just shot me an email letting me know they will be closing this month.
It's upsetting. Personally because I love the place.
Professionally because we made some of "Josh and Todd" there. When Jim went in and asked to film there the owner said yes without any hesitation whatsoever. And the few days we shoot there were some of my favorites of the entire shoot. I was watching the flick a few days ago with my bro Jordan and even mentioned how much I love those scenes and hope to shoot there again.
But that's clearly not going to be the case.

So here's a little plug for the shop as they prepare to lock up:
Everythings on sale!!! Half off!!! And things were already cheap there!
Get there now, cuz on 4/19 when you wake up in the morning it'll be a memory.

ENCORE!!!

We keep getting asked if we'll be showing it again!

And we are!

April 22, and April 23. The doors open at 7:00 PM and the film starts at 8:00PM

$5.00 donation to the gallery is requested to get in (where else can you go to see a movie for five bucks!), and Paris In Plantsville Members get in free!

April 23rd is also The 13th Annual National Day of Puppetry, so what better time to watch a puppet flick!
