    Tuesday afternoon $7 tickets at the independent cinema, a trip to IGA and a big purse means I can manage a decent $20 date for two.

    But I don’t really want to sit elbow to elbow with strangers in a sticky uncomfortable seat, while kids cry, the guy in front keeps checking his phone with the screen brightness set to “solar flare”, and the Capti-view the staff gave me breaks or desyncs halfway through the movie.

    The last few times I went the experience was so uncomfortable, I don’t think they could give the tickets away for free to make me go again. My best friend and I will take a laptop to the park, relax on a picnic blanket with some Bluetooth headphones and snacks and enjoy a pirated movie in relative peace and comfort. It’s a change of scenery and a cheap outting.
