I realize this is next Tuesday and not this weekend, but I thought I'd post it anyway. "The Last Days Of Chinatown" I've been told is very good. I keep missing it, but it's playing this coming Tuesday @ the IBEW Union Hall. It doesn't say, but there's probably a charge to see the film @ the door. Then, of course, there's the monthly dues...
