Every Friday night in Flagstaff in the summer, they show a movie in the square. Beforehand there’s usually a small performance. Last night it was the dance troupe from the community college. They were not very good and asked the audience for money to go to a competition in Italy.

Even though Shrek the Third was kind of terrible, I did have a good time, but there are a few reasons I probably won’t be going back.

• The adult to child ratio was something like 1:20. This is kind of terrifying outside of school when they’re tightly controlled.
• They only show kids movies, and not especially good ones. Luckily, I was in a really good mood and even thought Shrek the Third was funny last night.
• Flagstaff is not warm. Last week it snowed for this. This week the temperature just dropped into the 50s when the sun went down.
