The Unveiling of $1 Movie Night...

It's no secret that entertainment in Tucson is pretty reasonably priced. On any given night on 4th Ave, one could get a pint of glorious High Life for $1, a well drink for $2, and a friendly game of air hockey for 75 cents. But what if you want to relax inside a dark, slightly slanted, air-conditioned room, while watching a movie and consuming a giant pickle???

Tucsonans-- you are officially in luck!

The cheap movie theater, "Crossroads", (which lives behind the Bed, Bath, and Beyond at the corner of Grant and Swan) has now started $1 Tuesdays. That's right. One dollar. Any movie. Any showing. Every Tuesday.

We think this is rad.

Unfortunately, last week at dollar movie Tuesday, we saw the most horrible movie either of us have seen in a good long time. "There Will Be Blood" was two and a half hours of pure hell. We almost walked out, and we're not exactly sure why we didn't. Maybe we were suffering from the trauma of watching awful crazy people doing weird shit. Though Kristin is quoted as saying, "Whoever wrote the screenplay should be hurt," after giving ourselves some emotional distance from the affore-mentioned film, we discourage any sort of physical harm. But put it this way--if this movie was sitting on the curbside for Brush and Bulky, we wouldn't even stop. We might even run it over.

Love,

your neighborhood trashpickers and film snobs

(p.s. anyone want to see "In Bruges" on Tuesday at 8 pm?)

Turns out Willie Nelson had a damn good reason for selling out...

A couple of years ago, Willie Nelson started showing up on really dumb commericals. Needless to say, this concerned me. At first I thought, "Willie, you fucking sell out". Admittedly, it took awhile to get past what I now feel was pure astonishment and confusion, but I eventually found myself thinking "I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this."

I mean, what would make a pot-smoking, bio-diesel-making, Dennis Kucinich-supporting dude sell out to mass corporations??? He campaigns for the fair treatment of horses, for god's sake!

Then I realized I was eighteen years behind on my celebrity gossip, and everyone in the Western hemisphere probably knows that in 1990, Willie got a $16.7 million dollar bill from the IRS. Mystery solved.

How come I always get the celebrity news late???

Love,

Debbie

We're way too busy for blogging...

Dear faithful readers,

It is 95 degrees in Tucson and officially on its way to being too hot to sit next to anyone, cuddle with furry animals, or go running in the middle of the day (not that we ever do). Considering that it will only get worse, we are attempting to stay both hydrated and positive about life in our hot but lovely Sonoran desert.

But onto important business: we have been holding out on you bigtime. We've had several adventures and have finished at least two projects since we last wrote. We sincerely apologize for the delay in blog updates, but not really, because we're kind of proud of the fact that we've been too busy enjoying the world to sit around blogging.

This is our first attempt to bring you up to date on the aforementioned projects and adventures. Please prepare yourselves for upcoming accounts regarding the following:

1) The much anticipated part II of Kristin's shelf adventure
2) One Sunday Crafternoon in April: Trials and tribulations of bicycle wheel mug/pot/kitchen utensil racks
3) Debbie's backyard garden: The Report of a Two Year Experiment
4) We Play Sports!! (Kristin and Debbie discuss the importance of involving PBR in ultimate frisbee and softball)
5) Our Bisbee adventure (and why we are in love with a 75-year-old man named Pete)
6) Ridiculously cute bicycle embroidered curtains
7) The creative reincarnation of a rejection letter from the Creative Writing MFA program at the University of Arizona

Since it might be difficult to continue with regular life now that you know what's coming on Unearthed Adventures, we ask that you continue to be patient and remember to stay hydrated.



Love,

Debbie and Kristin
