Drawing: Dirty Projectors + Druthers
Dirty Projectors.
Drawing's closed! Winner's been emailed!
Dirty Projectors are playing at Skidmore this Saturday. We have two tickets and we're giving them away -- maybe to you.
But, wait, there's more. Along with the tickets, we're also giving away dinner for two at Druthers, the new brew pub in Saratoga Springs. That includes: two beers or glasses of wine per person, two entrees, an appetizer, and a dessert.
That's a whole night out in one prize.
To enter the drawing, please answer this question in the comments:
If your projector wasn't dirty, what movie would you show? And where?
This could be pretty much anything. It could be Casablanca on the main stage at Proctors. It could be The Empire Strikes Back on the ESP. It could be Seabiscuit at the Saratoga Race Course. It could be home movies in your backyard. There's no wrong answer.
We'll draw one winner at random.
The Dirty Projectors show at Skidmore starts at 9 pm. The opener is Delicate Steve. Tickets are $20 for the general public.
Druther's, which opened last August, is at 381 Broadway in downtown Saratoga.

The direct inspiration for Tarantino's Kill Bill series and his other "revenge" films that followed.
Would be great to see them on a "dirty" old fashioned projector
