The Maryland International Film Festival

I volunteered for 3 hours today for the Maryland International Film Festival.  It is the first year for the festival and I hope that it will be back next year and continue to grow.  I was an usher (taking tickets, passing out ballots and re-collecting them back after the movies) at The Bridge of Life Church in downtown Hagerstown.  There is a brunch tomorrow at Seven Ten which is the revamped bowling alley at Longmeadow.  I think that I'll go because it will be free food and I've been trying (and sometimes succeeding) to save money lately.  It stinks not having endless funds!  Anyway, I got a free t-shirt for my time (it's pink!) and hope enough people came out to make the whole event a success.
Unfortunately, I don't have a picture for this post, but I will try to get a picture of the former theater/now church/used as a movie theater.  I think it's a shame that it is a church now as it would be great to use it as a theather for live theater.  I liked that the doors in the lobby had diamond shaped windows.  It just makes me think of times past.  At least the church is taking good care of the building even if I'd love to put it to another use.
