Got an email from Eric, who says he just got back from Portland and is NOT in the mood for driving to Langley. He thinks he'll go to SERVANTS and see some movie they're showing instead. At least we know SERVANTS, and it's better than the Langley event with STRANGERS! I think he made the right choice. :D I'll wait for Sam's call tomorrow, then...
