Since summer is right around the corner, we all know what that means... kids are HOME! It's great, isn't it - no rushing out the door for school with breakfast "to go" in the car, no backpacks full of crushed food that is turning into penicillin, and no teacher notes saying your child was on the "red light" today (wait, I think that might have only been my experience as a mother of young children??). To save the sanity of all mothers,

"Paint the Paramount" and get one FREE 2010 Summer Classic Film Pass! Sounds weird, right - paint the Paramount? At first, I had visions of artistic graffiti in my head, but since the email I got was from

For $45 you receive instructions w/all materials needed to "Paint the Paramount", all you can eat popcorn and one 2010 pass to the Paramount's Classic Film Series.
