MIA

I know I've been mia (missing in action) for a while; I was out of the country for the longest time and then trying to sort my life out when I got back. Anyway, I wondered what you guys were up to.. did you meet for the July meeting? How did it go and how was the book? Do we have any suggestions for the new reading? I'd love to catch up!!
Has anyone read A Thousand Splendid Suns (from the author of The Kite Runner) ? I've heard such great things about it, can't wait to read it! Also, is anyone interested in the Harry Potter mania? I just finished the seventh book and loved it!
Alright, that's it for now.
Maryam.

movie nights on federal hill

hello everybody,
the visionary art museum is showing movies on federal hill every thursday at 9 this summer and the museum is open late and is FREE 5 to 9 before the film. july 26th is "edward scissorhands" and august 2nd is "the freshman" (matt broderick is freshman film student with marlon brando as his prof, comedy i think, looks good). so i was wondering if y'all would like to take a field trip to the museum one of those days and catch a movie? this summer's exhibit is "home and beast" (see website for de-tails). carr says there is a good thai place in the neigh-borhood so maybe we could get some grub too. mmm. tofu pad thai.
(i'll email everyone about this too.)

if we need a book connection- hanna was a film teacher? does that work?
