Bah! We may have some great weather here in Florida (right now it's 71 without a cloud in the sky) but we miss out on allot of good NY based events. For example, I wish I could take my wife, who is an accomplished artist and fan of most art films, to tonight's "Art on Film" event at the Anthology Film Archives and hosted by Reel Roundtable. Oh well, what she doesn't know about, she won't miss :-)

Details clipped from the RR newsletter:
