woah, WOAH WOAH WOAH!!!!!
Hey Dakin kids!
So, I was walking down to saga this morning for my daily helping of eggs and awfull coffee that I drink only because it is free(but not really) when I ran into the guy who is painting the stairwells. We started talking, and he mentioned that SOMEONE STOLE HIS PAINTBRUSHES! This wouldn’t be that big of a deal except that he USES THOSE TO MAKE A LIVING WITH. So, on his...

Lets start off the new semester with a survey
Everyone likes surveys right? Right. OK, so it’d be rad if you could take like 5 mins (or less if you are the Jeff Gordon of surveys [I see you nascar fans]) to answer some questions about smoking indoors. Wohoo!

NOISE!
Noise is a couple things.
Noise is a movie starring Tim Robbins who plays a man living in New York City who is driven mad by the excessive noise in the city. Instead of moving like a normal person, he becomes a vigilante who breaks into peoples cars with a baseball bat in order to stop the noise. What a mean thing to do! What a weird thing to make a movie about!

Kinda makes me want to go smoke a cigarette. Yeah?
Yeah, sure. Why not? Well…we all know why...

Saturday Night Flicks brings you BULLITT
So a few weeks ago Dakin House brought you “WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE”. It was a great event and we were all really pleased that so many of you made it out to watch it on our home made 9x9 foot screen (I’m pretty proud of that).
Well, it’s been wet and rainy, so we haven’t been able to jump back into showing movies like we intended to. Good news though! the...
