Sublime to ridiculous

 

[ ]   The weekend sort of starts tonight, at least in Ambler where the Ambler Theater screens Philly artist Zoe Strauss’ “If You Break the Skin You Must Come In” at 7 p.m.

      It’s not a Will Ferrell-like flick, yo…Zoe says on her blog that she WILL NOT be there, but go anyway. It’s worth it. Also, check out the Ambler downtown after the show; not bad for the suburbs.
