First invitational backyard movie screening was a bloody success! Watching "Jaws" from the pool really is an immersive experience, complete with a floating bar and a "sharkcuterie" board created by @jess-on-ice.com . A great first run for the outdoor setup.
And now *I've* got "Free Your Mind" on loop in my head... (that song still slays, btw)

I'd worry that this is what happens when I listen to "Jolene" on my way to work, but I listen to "Jolene" on my way to work pretty often. Nevertheless, we pulled this review of Dolly's 2004 show here in Albany, NY, out of the @timesunion.com archives:

Richard Marx has a local show, so I feel the need to resurface my favorite article ever written about him - in which Marx told a Chicago tv news writer he argued with on Twitter that he'd meet him at a local pub to get a public apology for something written about him AND HE ACTUALLY SHOWED UP.
Right Here Waiting - The Morning News
After frequenting a local haunt where nobody knows his name, a Chicago writer makes new friends, rips on Richard Marx online, and then suddenly lands a real live celebrity musician at their door.
