STACEY & MIKE'S WEEKEND WATCHLIST
- Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Concert Film is here! Opening night is sold out at Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. The good news is that tickets remain for all shows except opening night. You can catch it each Thursday-Sunday through Nov. 5 in OMSI’s Empirical Theater. You can also see it at Regal Fox Tower, Regal Pioneer Place, Living Room Theaters, and several others.
Do I even need to post anything else here? Taylor will own the weekend. But if you're staying home here's what Mike and I are watching:
The Golden Bachelor on ABC. Got me all teary in the first five minutes! It's actually a sweet look at love at an older age, at least so far.
Mike is re-watching 30 Rock.
