| Did you ever see Grindhouse, the Quentin Tarantino film? It featured a trailer for a parody called Machete, which was so popular that they actually made the movie. I have free preview tickets. The only catch is, it’s at 10am in the morning. Also I’ve got tickets for The Tillman Story, Wed at 7pm. AMC Boston Common Theatre, Boston, MA.  see details on the complete Events Insider |

| Tomb opens new attraction — free tickets! | Wed 9/1 | Southeast Mass |
 |
|
| The largest amusement park in Boston proper has just one “ride” — it’s “Tomb”, an ancient Egyptian pyramid that you actually walk through. The Pharaoah traps you inside and you solve puzzles and explore to escape. Well, the team at 5 WITS has now opened “Espionage”, a walk-through spy game in Foxborough. Meanwhile — big surprise!! — they are CLOSING the Boston location on September 7, which to me sounds crazy. I still have 17 tickets to Tomb, so email me to win some and go! Patriot Place, Foxboro, MA. see details on the complete Events Insider |
