Ah, free stuff. The cornerstone of any good economy.

Last night, I marshalled my shit at the end of a long day of work and dragged a blanket and a thermos full of screwdrivers down to the Prudential’s South Lawn for an obnoxiously-sponsored, but ultimately free and enjoyable outdoor screening of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”.

Granted, the “entertainment” which preceded the movie was a nauseating MC who conducted a “trivia” contest (sample questions include “What animal makes this sound?” <<mooooo>>>) but with a good loud mp3 player and a magazine, you can ignore almost anything. Especially with a thermos full of screwdrivers.

Once the sun went down, I enjoyed a burrito, delivered to my lazy ass on my blanket, and a big-ass screen showing one of my favorite 80s movies of all time.

Of course, right now I’m making this a win for the obnoxious radio station by giving them free press, as well as having delivered some coin into the coffer of Qdoba, but hey - you have to eat, and in one man’s opinion, you have to go see Ferris Bueller when it’s being shown for free on a lawn.

Next week: The Wedding Singer. See you there, Fredders.
