I finished reading The Moviegoer by Walker Percy and it was really good. Then at night Mary Beth and I went up to Crosstown to see a screening of Natchez. It's a new documentary by Memphian Suzannah Herbert and famous Memphian Craig Brewer was doing the q&a so it was a packed affair (they even added a second night and that apparently sold out too). Anyway, it's all about the antebellum tourism in Natchez, MS. It was really good. As I said there was a q&a afterwards with the director and "Rev", the tour guide in it who's pretty much the voice for the movie (it more or less is framed through following his real-history tour, contrasting with the southern-mythology tours of the antebellum houses...and there are more elements to it, but that's the very streamlined summary), and the ceo of Bridges (the director had done Bridges when she was a teenager). Afterwards Mary Beth and I went upstairs to Art Bar and hung out a little bit.
