Going with my girlfriend, plus there's a good chance I'll have a nice buzz going since I'll be at an event for a marketing association I'm in beforehand.

LOL though, because I had to call my girlfriend before getting tickets, and the conversation went like this:
"Hey, remember that movie I wanted to see about Helvetica, you know, the font? Tonight's the last night for it so I'm getting tickets."
She'll be downtown shopping anyways after work practically across from the theater.
I just wish I had ever bought the shirt that Big Brother magazine used to sell, that said "Helvetica" but totally like the Metallica logo. :D

The movie was really great and educational.
Loved how they talked to some that loved the font, some that hated it.
My girlfriend noticed that just about every older man they interviewed (that was doing design around the time Helvetica was released) had "cool older man gray hair."
Should I be worried? :D

haha mg33. i like cooler older man grey hair. if u can pull it off. go for it.
i thought the movie was awesome and the Q&A with the director afterward at the one I attended made it that much better for sure... SEE IT NOW!!!
