June 22-28, 2011: Cars 2, Cambridge City Dance Party, Chinatown, Sandsculpting, Steam Engine Fests
Hey, everyone! As you may know I’ve just built the official movie website for The Ledge! Please check it out and do what you can to promote the film. Because I’m volunteering for the Director — yes, another big project where I don’t make money – last night I got to go to New York for the premiere and meet stars Liv Tyler and Patrick Wilson. How crazy is that. I hope you are having an awesome week. Now get out there and do something fun!
