Good news! The BANFF Mountain Film Festival has returned to Charlottesville!
Bad news! I forgot to tell you about the first screening before it happened. (It was yesterday at 4.)
Good news! You can still see tonight’s program at 7pm in Darden’s Abbott Auditorium. Tickets are $12, and proceeds go to Madison House at UVA. The Charlottesville stop on the BANFF road tour is sponsored by Charlottesville’s favorite outdoor supplier, Blue Ridge Mountain Sports. (Bonus: prizes are raffled off.) Tonight’s program includes four films, two of which I am majorly sweating.
What can you expect? Two to three hours of high-adrenaline quality films, with BANFF’s themes of outdoor adventure, nature preservation, and global perspective, followed by two to three hours of sitting on your couch contemplating your relatively unextraordinary life! But fear not, internet surfers and social climbers, you will eventually reach complacency if you just believe in yourself. And if you decide to take up triathlons and Tibetan Buddhism, good for you. Please pray for our hardened souls.
But seriously, it’s an awesome way to spend a Monday night.
