This weekend, I passed a very important milestone in the getting over a cold progression when I went to the movies (an actual theater, where the threat of a film-interrupting coughing fit was very real). But with water in hand, and a few cough drops in the back pocket, I successfully made it through a screening of Wonder Woman. I enjoyed it SO much that the next day I went back to the theater to see Baby Driver. Both movies had their merits, but the way music helped create the very fabric of the film gave Baby Driver the edge in my book.
With the 4th of July holiday, the beginning of next week looks pretty light, music-wise, but the prospect of a free Barns Courtney show on Weds will help get me through the fireworks.
