...festivals to drum up interest among distributors and then waited a year or longer for a theatrical campaign to reach major cities. A few months later, the DVD would hit shelves in smaller markets. But with Alexander the Last, which opened in every major market via Festival Direct at midnight on Saturday - along with four other South by Southwest titles - Swanberg says he's eliminated the window between his festival screening and home-video campaign, all the while substantially reducing the cost of a national release and maximizing the word-of-mouth buzz from his Austin premiere. By comparison...
...love back with subtle interventions staged by various individuals, and my parents questioned my sanity (and that of my foster blockmates). But the Dunster community’s magnetism provided too strong of a pull towards the Charles. Plus, my ID magically swipes into all Dunster entryways after midnight. This isn’t supposed to happen. Next fall, I will officially be a Moose. Yet my reputation as Dunster’s gypsy (or creeper to some) will likely stick. Sure, I’ll no longer need to take naps in Lamont while waiting for a roommate...
...counter to the concern that people who want a rebuilt car will not buy a new car is that dealerships are empty, as empty as graveyards at midnight.

And even these spartan offerings are limited by an obnoxious policy of locking down brain break between midnight and 2 a.m. Not that there'd be any food left by then, but it'd be nice to be able to get a fucking soda after you've actually started to make progress on your pset...
...race come from other directions. A heavy snow recently blanketed parts of the Alaska, burying the trail in deep drifts and forcing mushers to break out their snowshoes. And just as it has in the Lower 48 states, the economy has cast a pall over the Land of the Midnight Sun. Due to higher operating costs, entrance fees have spiked 33% to $4,000 despite a shrinking prize pool; between food, supplies and preparation, the cost of running the race can reach $30,000. Meanwhile, mushers have griped about the salaries doled out to event executives, which dwarf their...
