THE EDITOR'S DESK
This is now: Philadelphia Film Festival
There is so much going on in the city right now, and I'm not referring to the homicide rate this time. There are a lot of great events happening this week and the next—including the Philadelphia Film Festival, which features so many showings that we can't even list them on the CP calendar. However, you can read our article about it on the "Work.Party.Eat." page (or here, if you're lazy). The Festival will feature almost 300 films over 14 days at seven different venues. It all starts tonight, and runs through April 18. As our gift to you, we're giving away two free pairs of tickets to the first two people who e-mail Michelle@campusphilly.org. Please include your name and mailing addresses. Everyone else gets $1 off tickets with their CP Discount Tag. Enjoy!
