Day #5: SF Indie Fest

I am still going strong! Luckily, Ms Olive is really into the 40 Days of Fun! On Saturday, February 9th, we went to the Roxie to volunteer at SF Indie Fest. It really is great event and they have killer films. In exchange for volunteering you get to see the movies that are playing during your shift for free. We saw a collection of shorts and later saw a funny Armenian movie, "Big Story in a Small City."

For dinner, we had shwermas at Truly Mediterranean. They use to have a place on Haight St. and the shwermas rocked. Now they are just so-so. We'd love to find a good shwerma, if you know of a place let us know. After dinner, we saw Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation . It was made in the 80's by a bunch of teenagers and it is pretty funny. They recreated and filmed their version of the movie following the original word for word and scene by scene.

At 9ish we met up with G for the IndieFest Roller Disco Party. The party was good but it was so packed (about 500 people there) that you couldn't really skate. They had a killer dj but after two hours of going 2 miles per hour and dealing with really long lines at the bar we decided to bail! (But we are looking for a roller skating place, if you know of one in the Bay Area let me know asap!)
