FREE MOVIE HINT OF THE WEEK:  If you like going to movie previews (mainstream movies a day or two before their release), the only consistently good place to sign up is Edge Boston (www.edgeboston.com) -- it's a gay & lesbian focused site, just so you aren't surprised.  They usually have a good selection of movies to sign up for in their Giveaway Center and you have a good chance of winning.  If you haven’t been to a preview before, be warned that many of the popular movies fill up quickly and you may have to show up an hour in advance or earlier  You have to decide if it’s worth it.  I don’t go to the more popular screenings anymore…too crowded to be enjoyable.  Please don’t be mean to the theater staff; they don’t decide the number of tickets to pass out. 

Check for last minute changes or contact the organizers to make sure events are still happening, especially in case of inclement weather.  .
