    OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME: I’ve recently come across a TV with a built in VCR and a VHS copy of SINGLES and asked a person who lives in the building where SINGLES was filmed if we could watch SINGLES in the courtyard of the SINGLES building. This is quite possibly the only chance you’ll ever have to watch this 1992 “classic” grunge rom-com at the place where this 1992 “classic” grunge rom-com was filmed. UPDATE: CANCELED Dear Singles comrades: it’s best that we do the right thing and cancel this event. The tenants of the building have voiced their opinion that they’d prefer to not have 1,700 people in their courtyard tonight, which is understandable. I was only trying to bring joy to the people by showing Singles at the Singles Apartments.

America. Heck yeah. Also, attention small patriots: the Cal Anderson wading pool finally opens Friday. For more things to do on and around Capitol Hill or to add your own events, check out the CHS Calendar.
