STORYCONTEXT: 1. Independence Day (Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Dir. Roland Emmerich, 1996)

Second date with Emily. Met her at her place, 55 Leroy, at 4:30. Train to 50th street, walked to Ziegfeld, where we picked up the tickets I’d ordered. Line went clear around to opposite side of block—we shoulda walked thru instead of around.

Got seats three rows from top, but excellent view and comfort. Watched the Americans save the world from space aliens, extending the franchise of July 4 into a universal Independence Day.
