I'm shocked. Sincerely shocked. Last week I wrote that I was certain this edition's Mail section would include a few choice words for me from readers angry about the removal of movie times from BWs editorial content. So far, not one complaint. Delayed reaction, maybe? Guess we'll see next week.
The big news this week is in the center of this edition. Your quarterly Flicks calendar, which is the center four pages of this issue, is essential over the holidays. Just think how many hours of annoying conversation with your in-laws you could dodge with a family trip to the movies. That's right, we're always looking out for you.
Also in the center of this week's issue is a guide to Boise Weekly's annual Cover Art Auction. Most of you know the drill: Every week BW puts the work of a local artist on the cover, we pay them $150 for it, they donate the artwork to our annual auction, and every November we auction off the last year's lot to fund grants for artists and arts organizations. To date we've raised nearly $100,000 for the arts community this way, and this is the year to put us over that mark.
Wednesday, Nov. 17, is the big event. Doors open at the Idaho State Historical Museum at 5 p.m., and the auction starts promptly at 6 p.m. Peruse the insert in this week's issue to find a few things you think you can stare at on your walls every day. Then head down to the museum any time between now and the auction to check out those pieces in person because trust me, many of them look much different off the page.
Another BW party you don't want to miss is Tuesday, Dec. 7, when we host our BW Card members appreciation party. If you're a BW Card member, join us again at Idaho Botanical Garden for a night of free drinks and food from member restaurants, plus some time to roam Winter Garden Aglow. Card holders can also get deals on cards as gifts that night. If you're not already a card member but want to be, contact BW Office Manager Shea Sutton at 208-344-2055.
