panic in needle park movie

 there were two events to attend after work, the second was a screening at the Trylon during 'bleak week'. the movie was called 'panic in needle park'. wanted to see that one as i knew Al Pacino was in it. there was an introduction to the organization 'sponsoring' the series, a lady from Los Angeles spoke for a few minutes before the movie began. she spoke of some notable attendees to this film festival in her city apparently, not just Pacino but also Gus Van Sant- the 'good will hunting' director. the movie was about heroin addicts in New York City. if anything was bleak or depressing about it, then this would be all of the fighting and arguing related to the drugs. along with what is done to get the drug money, such as stealing and prostitution. in one scene i said 'idiot' when a john had trouble lighting a match when trying to light a cigarette. the first event was a member or friend gathering at the loft, the writer organization i belong to. i liked the snack food they have before the event, this time it included popcorn. i was one of the readers at the open-mic, and much like before i did some poetry i had recently written. it was an ode to performing. after the event i ended up chatting with a lady that liked my performance, who had the same name as a famous musician that had performed with Miley Cyrus. it started inside and continued at her bus stop, as i was on the way to the nearby Bobby and Steve's as i wanted to get some more food. i bought a hot dog and a little Godfather's pizza. i ate the hot dog there and took the pizza with me on the light rail and will have it for the evening meal in the next few days. at work there was a team huddle that was scheduled at the last minute, held in the morning. it started off with talk about tokens, then i found out it didn't affect my work. the overnight volume went down a little, to twenty-six. when checking the tracking number on the toner cartridge i found out it is still on the way, so not arriving as early as the rep had told us. during my walks i found 36 cents. after the movie i checked email and looks like there is an alumni outing at a Twins baseball game this summer, in august.
