Vidiots is here for you. In solidarity with the National Shutdown, we're encouraging you to keep your hearts open and your wallets closed. On Friday, January 30th: all previously scheduled screenings will now be free and open to the public. Free popcorn for all movie goers. Free video store rentals. We believe in the power of the film, physical media, and shared space to hold us, remind us who we are, and help us imagine what comes next.

My latest cat square is Ba’a Ba’a. He moved from Canada to Oman with his family. Turkish Airlines deemed him too fat to fly. He had to go on a diet. He was not happy. I gifted the square to his humans. #TheCatJoyProject

Time to start thinking about November's Cat Square. It will commemorate Mr. Cornflake. He lived in the Rustic Canyon neighborhood of L.A. He was a great cat. #TheCatJoyProject

Great movie. Great theater.
People standing outside the Vista theater. The neon sign is illuminated. There is a beautiful sunset in the background. The movie showing is Paul Thomas Anderson’s one battle after another.

If you live in L.A. County you can vote in any one of the many vote centers. Every election I study the map and choose one that piques my fancy. Here are my top four choices for Nov. 5th.

After meeting the Cat of Monteluco’s humans, learning the his name was Papillon and that he is no longer with us, I decided to gift them the square rather then leaving it for a random person to find. #TheCatJoyProject
