Rooftop Films Opening Party This Weekend

So, checking my e-mail this morning, I noticed the following listed on myopenbar:

Rooftop Films Opening Night afterparty
Radeberger Pilsner, $9 cover / 11:30pm-1am
Fontana's
105 Eldridge Street,
btw. Grand and Broome
Lower East Side
(212) 334-6740

Thank you, Pitchfork, for yet another tepid "Best New Music" call on Cymbals Eat Guitars – the band that's performing here tonight before the films. Oh, the hype.

The open bar isn't actually at the screening but at the afterparty, over at Fontana's. You might have to buy the ticket to the screening to get in on the booze, or pay $9 at the door.


Well, that's the after-party.

The Rooftop Films opening night actually begins, as the myopenbar listing metions, with live music by Cymbals Eat Guitars at 8:30.

See the Rooftop Films Listing:
