brown bag lunch at the met

in an effort to bring more people through the doors, the fresno metropolitan museum is trying a lot of innovative methods. one of those methods is a brown bag lunch on friday at noon.

you bring your lunch, and $5 and you can get into the met. even better, you can watch a movie for that price. this week is dogs of war. it's only an hour, so you can eat and go back to work after, if you want. you're also welcome to browse the met's galleries.

I went to this last week (they were playing some old Charlie Chaplin movie) and had a great time. It's a really great to spend a lunch hour.

Thanks for the plugs guys...we're doing Friday Brownbag Cinema every week now. This week is "The Bellboy" with Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle, and "Kids Auto Race at Venice" with Charlie Chaplin originating the Candid Camera/Borat genre of public-nuisance-for-comedy's-sake (seriously - it's hysterical).

$5 Met admission gets you in, and the full schedule's at fresnomet.org. Thanks for the support!
