When was the last time you got to see 106 movies in one night? If you went to Le: 60 Film Fest, you’d have had that chance at least once. Lumen Eclipse, the public art project responsible for the festival, held the event on the newly constructed Palmer Street on Oct. 4.

Authentically displayed feel-your-pain concern over the economy, in a smoother manner than usual. But while he held the audience's attention with his answers and theatrics, he distractingly and conspicuously scribbled notes when Obama had the floor.
