I didn't realize my comments weren't open to everyone. Now they are.<BR/><BR/>The AFI's main auditorium is huge, spacious, and clean, with a gigantic screen. The smaller theaters are a little bit lacking in ambiance, but they do have stadium seating. They serve beer, wine, and coffee drinks there in addition to the normal stuff. The popcorn is okay. We usually find street parking, but there are garages in the area that are free at night. The Silver Spring Metro Station is about two long blocks down Colesville Road.<BR/><BR/>They usually have two movies that you could see just as easily at the E Street Cinema or Bethesda Row and they are typically there for about a month. Then they have the AFI programming which is basically a series of mini film festivals featuring different directors, actors, countries, genres, etc.<BR/>The <A HREF="http://www.afi.com/silver/new/default.aspx" REL="nofollow">schedule</A> for these films changes on a daily basis.<BR/><BR/>Last week I saw Fitzcarraldo and Grizzly Man in the main auditorium. I'm a fan of big movie screens in general, but especially for movies that feature the great outdoors.Cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787927933858782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906849261938947265.post-4113963261123426852009-03-22T12:13:00.000-04:002009-03-22T12:13:00.000-04:00Commenting on other people's blogs IS a worthwhile...Commenting on other people's blogs IS a worthwhile endeavor!<BR/><BR/>Natasha's story is amazing, amazingly sad. My heart breaks for everyone in her family, especially her sons. <BR/><BR/>I have never actually seen a film at the AFI. Worth the drive from Arlington to Silver Spring, or can one get his groove on equally well at Georgetown, Chinatown, and the Mazza Gallerie?<BR/><BR/>By the way, it would be nice if you opened your blog to comments from non-Google/blogger/Open Id people! I don't use google blogger or any of the other stuff, and I know I'm not alone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768974543012079181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906849261938947265.post-54679891261717352712009-03-21T18:24:00.000-04:002009-03-21T18:24:00.000-04:00Well the number of hours left in my vacation has f...Well the number of hours left in my vacation has finally decreased to the point where I'm actually getting some work done.

I have become a master at wasting time over the past year or two. But I don't even feel badly about it and my stress level is at an all-time low. I might have actually traded in my Type A label for a B or a C.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356998698106275372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906849261938947265.post-54938594010730810232009-03-20T16:57:00.000-04:002009-03-20T16:57:00.000-04:00I don't do well with unbusyness.

I do relax just not on other people's schedules or the lack thereof.<BR/><BR/>Have a great, busy weekend.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02105680755485062414noreply@blogger.com
