This past weekend my friend and I almost died.

On Friday night, my friend and I decided we should put on clothes and actually do something rather than laying our respective couch and bed. Options are limited when it's after 9 PM and you don't feel like drinking: This led to us getting froyo and heading to the Byrd.

Now for those of you not from Richmond, VA, the Byrd is a historic movie theatre. By historic, I mean it opened in 1928 (more on this later). Notable amenities include: It's open 365 days a year. It shows cheap movies ($1.99!). And it has a Wurlitzer organ*. As of late, the theatre has been undergoing renovations. A huge fundraising project is underway to restore the Byrd to its former glory. (They need to move faster.)
